Dragon Covenant

Chapter 29

If things continued like this, Anna felt that the one-star refining room might really be taken away by O'Casey.

Even though she had the support of Emily and Cherry, as long as O'Casey didn't make any obvious mistakes on the surface, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to directly kick out O'Casey, an old hand in the Soul Liquid House. Otherwise, it would cause some unrest in the Soul Liquid House. And if that affected the refining of Soul Liquids, it would be the Martin family that suffered the losses.

Feeling rather annoyed, Anna just glanced at Albert when he walked into the refining room and didn't have the extra energy to say anything.

However, Albert was quite casual about it. He walked straight to an unused refining compartment. Beside him, a pretty young woman said in a low voice, "Young master of the manor, you're here."

Albert smiled and nodded in response. While arranging the materials on the refining table, he casually asked in a low voice, "Sister Sharon, Deputy Store Manager Anna doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"

The young woman whom he called Sister Sharon stuck out her tongue and said, "We've been scolded all morning..."

Then she briefly explained the reason for the matter.

After hearing this, Albert suddenly understood. So it was all about the one-star refining room. This was indeed a big deal. If O'Casey succeeded in his fight for it, it would deal a huge blow to Anna's reputation and gradually reduce her say in the Soul Liquid House in the future.

Thinking of this, Albert frowned. Of course, he didn't want to see such a situation happen. And at present, he was in great need of a large amount of funds. If something went wrong here, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on him.

Most importantly, O'Casey was Bernard's man. With that ungrateful character of his, he might even swallow up this branch of the Soul Liquid House.

However, it was useless to think about these things now. So Albert took out many preparation materials and started his practice for today.

Two hours of practice time passed quietly. Just as Albert's refining was becoming more and more skillful, the door of the one-star refining room was suddenly pushed open. Everyone's actions in their hands paused for a moment, and then they saw a group of people led by O'Casey pouring in.

Just that imposing manner made it seem that they hadn't come with good intentions.

When O'Casey and his group suddenly barged into the one-star refining room in an aggressive manner, it immediately caused a stir in the atmosphere here.

Anna also noticed their arrival and frowned, saying, "Deputy Store Manager O'Casey, are your people so ill-mannered?"

O'Casey had a smile on his face and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, don't be angry. I'm here to say something. Since the one-star refining room has been under your management, the output of Soul Liquid refining has decreased during this period, and there have even been quite a number of unqualified products. This has seriously affected the performance of our Soul Liquid House."

Anna said coldly, "Don't you know why the output has decreased? If you hadn't imposed restrictions on the materials, how could such a thing have happened?"

O'Casey frowned and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, you're slandering me. Materials are already in short supply. Can I conjure them up out of thin air?"

"I actually think that although Deputy Store Manager Anna graduated from the Newhurst Advanced Academy, she is still rather inexperienced after all. Perhaps some of your ideas don't match those of our one-star Spirit Light Masters in the Soul Liquid House. If you guide them, I'm afraid you'll hold them back."

O'Casey stared at Anna and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, as Spirit Light Masters, we should judge everything by the results. You've been in charge of the one-star refining room for some time now, but so far, there hasn't been much effect. The highest purity of the one-star Soul Liquids refined by the one-star Spirit Light Masters you've taught is just barely reaching 50%. But my apprentice can already refine one-star Soul Liquids with a purity of 56%."

"You should know that in the past, the average level of the one-star Soul Liquids produced by our Soul Liquid House was only 53%. So if Deputy Store Manager Anna really has the Soul Liquid House's best interests at heart, I suggest that you hand over the one-star refining room. Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid that the one-star Soul Liquids produced by our Soul Liquid House will lose their market in the city of Navia."

After speaking, O'Casey looked at some other senior members of the Soul Liquid House who had come with him and said, "Everyone, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Those senior members looked thoughtful. Although they didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two sides, they had to admit that what O'Casey said was quite reasonable. In their Soul Liquid House, everything was judged by the results.

The fact that O'Casey's disciple could steadily refine one-star Soul Liquids with a purity of 56% was enough to prove his excellence.

So a senior member hesitated and said, "Deputy Store Manager Anna, why don't you just hand over this one-star refining room? Then you can concentrate on guiding the two-star refining room. After all, that's also an important product of our Soul Liquid House."

O'Casey looked at Anna, whose eyes showed a bit of struggle, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth.

And just when the pressure on Anna was getting heavier and heavier, in this one-star refining room where the atmosphere was almost frozen, suddenly a blue light burst out abruptly.
