Chapter 102 Mark was a man of his word and immediately ordered someone to fetch the Seventh Heaven Quince for Andrew .


    Puzzled , Cedric could not help but ask , Dr.


    Lloyd , Seventh Heaven Quince is known to be highly toxic .


    What do you n to do with it ? 40 Andrew replied casually , Alchemy .


    Cedrics eyes widened in shock .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , you practice alchemy ? Andrew smiled modestly .


    I know a thing or two .


    Whats so special about this alchemy youre discussing ? Mark asked , his curiosity piqued .


    Cedric exined with reverence , Mr.


    Thatcher , alchemy is an ancient sacred art passed down through generations of master healers .


    In certain traditions , its known as the art of creating elixirs .


    Bybining various rare ingredients and following secret forms , one can create .


    miraculous medicine .


    Take the medicinal pills from Mistveil Peak , for instance .


    Theyre legendary throughout Etharia for their powerful effects and are worth a fortune ! Mark stared at Andrew in amazement .


    Mr.


    Lloyd , I had no idea you possessed such remarkable skills .


    Im truly impressed .


    Lauren chimed in , The Mistyeil Peak pills are always in short supply .


    My grandpa tried multiple times to obtain some but always returned empty handed .


    Also , only a handful of people in all of Etharia know the secrets of alchemy .


    Lauren continued , And theyre all backed by top tier powers with legacies stretching back over a thousand years .


    Her sparkling eyes were fixed on Andrew , marveling at this mysterious man before her .


    She had already convinced herself that finding this man was due to her extraordinary luck , but now he seemed to be nothing short of a miracle .


    Mark broke the silence with a chuckle .


    For someone as skilled as Mr.


    Lloyd , a single Seventh- Heaven Quince feels like an inadequate reward .


    I think I should add something more to show my sincerity .


    Cedric and Lauren exchanged knowing nces , understanding Marks intentions .


    Clearly , he wanted to strengthen his connection with Andrew , and neither could me him .


    After all , Andrews abilities made him impossible to ignore .


    Mark suggested casually , Mr.


    Lloyd , since you arent interested in mere money , lets chat about other matters .


    Itll just be some idle conversation , of course ! He exined , You know , theres an undeveloped area on the west side of the city .


    The paperwork should be approved soon .


    Its nothing major , just a billion dor project or so … After a moments pause , he continued , Anyway , Jayrodales pharmaceutical industry has  Chapter 102 some significant gaps .


    I recently held a meeting where we unanimously decided to provide strong support for its development .


    The Weller familys influence has been declining sharply In recent years .


    Their position in Jayrodale isnt quite as stable as it used to be .


    After this stream of information , Mark took a sip from his teacup before turning to Andrew with a smile .


    Mr.


    Lloyd , I havent revealed anything too important , have 1 ? This is all just casual conversation nothing to take too seriously ! Andrew chuckled , ying along .


    Dont worry , Mr.


    Thatcher .


    We havent heard a thing .


    Cedrics face lit up with amusement .


    Mr.


    Thatcher only has Jayrodales development at heart .


    He wouldnt carelessly reveal important information .


    Were just having a friendly chat ! Lauren added with a yful smile , Did Mr.


    Thatcher say something ? I didnt hear anything .


    We were just discussing the weather , werent we , Dr.


    Lloyd ? Andrew smirked and nodded .

    Rhodes .
