When Jeffery was done with everything, he stood up slowly. He handed Stacy her phone and thanked her for helping him. Right now he needed to get away before the cops arrived.Although there was nothing they could do if they arrived, he still didn't want them to meet them to. He believed his morals wouldn't let him escape if they saw him. So he had to leave now when they had not seen him."What next?" Stacy asked. "You're leaving?""Yeah," he replied. "I don't want to be here when the police arrives. It will make things more complicated... more chaotic. Believe me when I say this.""I believe you," she replied. "It's just that... I don't know, I feel you should just stay and tell them. You're an alchemist and I believe you'd be able to take care of them.""Yes," he replied. "But that's not the best option. And don't think Zoro is the only one here... he might have brought an ally."Stacy froze when she heard this. "Does this mean I'll become a target?""No," Jeffery shook his head. "I

Stacy fell silent for some moments. Her eyes then darted between Zoro's corpse and Jeffery who was looking at her with a hidden anticipation. She narrowed her eyes and bit her lips as if contemplating on what decision to make."What's in for me?" she finally asked Jeffery.The young alchemist was stumped. He hadn't expected this question. It was not as if he had thought she would help him for free. It was just that his mind hadn't considered that at all. So he didn't know how to respond for some time."I'm joking," Stacy smiled. "Don't you know how to take a joke? Rita Stirling must be really trying."It took a couple of seconds for Jeffery to understand what she was saying. And when he finally did, he beamed a wide smile at her. The smile later dissolved into a chuckle. The joke was really funny."Don't take me wrong," he said. "It's not that I expected you to do everything for me... I was just stumped.""Well, I was kinda surprised you acted that way," she said. "You just froze as i

Stacy stood facing Jeffery for some time. She couldn't even stare him in the eyes because she was afraid. But then she was no longer shuddered like before. She had calmed down and didn't know why. Somehow, she believed what Jeffery Flamel just said despite everything she saw on the news."So, do you promise to help me?" Jeffery asked. "I think I should rephrase this. Please, can you help me Stacy?"Stacy lifted her head slightly, staring into his eyes. They were filled with so much emotions. It was as if he was feeling hopeful after a long time of being sad and hopeless. Was that the feeling she was getting from him?"You see, I was once a nobody," Jeffery said. "Then a fortuitous encounter with Rita Stirling made me realize something... that I was not living up to my potential."He smiled dreamily. "Then I worked hard, doing things no one could. I went into pharmacy, created drugs you couldn't imagine existed.""Like that anti-aging lotion?" Stacy managed a shaky smile.Jeffery narro

Jeffery didn't even bother to dispose the body secretly. He was already wanted by the cops and didn't want anymore negative attention. The public already saw him as a murderer after the deaths of Harold and Bob Prescott, as well as the armed robber from before.He would have also gone with the best option, checking out of the hotel before anyone found out. He could have just taken his things and ran away. But he didn't also do this.Instead he decided to inform the hotel attendant. Right now he decided to expose Zoro's schemes, how he had been plotting against Aadam Prescott and the Yamigawa sect. He wanted to throw off the target which had been placed on him, or reduce it if it didn't work.So he walked to the telephone and called the telephone attendant. "Something happened right now, and I want you to check it out.""What happened?" the young woman's voice sounded from the other end."An assassination attempt," he replied. "And I don't want you to call the police... yet."There was

Zoro Yamigawa... The master who had always backed the Prescott family... The master who had conspired with Aadam afterwards to kill Harold and Bob Prescott. It wasn't surprising he would come after Jeffery Flamel.Jeffery wasn't surprised. In fact he had expected either Aadam or Zoro to attack him. This standoff had been long overdue for some time now."You're not surprised at all," Zoro noticed this. "Most of the times, once I reveal myself to opponents they would falter.""Maybe I don't know who you really are," Jeffery replied. "All I know is that you worked for the Prescott family. And now you're working for Aadam like a lapdog."Zoro fell silent for some moments. Then his lips curled up into an exaggerated smile. "I just told you, I'm not working for anyone but myself.""Is that why you willing gave off the Dark Stone to Aadam?" Jeffery taunted. "I believe you were after the stone, just like you're after this one.""Yes," Zoro replied. "I just couldn't get it. Well, it's not as i

The room was as silent as a graveyard, the air within still even. It was as if someone had pressed a pause button on everything. And in this room were two figures, each occupied by their own thoughts.Jeffery Flamel was lying down, baiting the spy to attack him. The spy on the other hand just stood there, looming over him like an angel. Except, he wasn't an angel but someone who obviously wanted to take Jeffery's life.Jeffery expected the spy to attack him immediately. After all, he was pretending to be sleeping. The spy was supposed to think that he was vulnerable at this moment. But he knew that the spy was also cautious. He was a master alchemist as well.And so the both of them remained that way, one standing and the other lying. Several minutes of inaction passed and the only sound Jeffery could hear was his own very thoughts.For what seemed like an hour, the spy loomed over Jeffery. He stood like a shadow without making any movement. Even a subtle one. He didn't even seem to b
