There was a small growl. It started off as a low one, then it became very loud. At Jeffery's muscles pulled, his head jerking around. He thought that someone was trying to infiltrate his room.

Then he realized it was his stomach. He had not eaten for a long period of time and not it was protesting. Even a master like him had to eat. So he went to the telephone on the wall to order for food.

After everything he had done within those past few days, he deserved to eat something delicious. He deserved to spoil himself. And he was going to do so.

If it was up to him he would have gone out to find a good restaurant. Then he would have eaten to his fill without any regard for etiquette. But he had to lay low for now.

"Roast beef, white rice and chicken stew..." he said slowly, trying as much as possible to avoid drooling.

When the call ended he took a deep breath and berated himself, "You almost sounded desperate right there, Jeffery. You're the most powerful man in the city..."

  • CHAPTER 242

    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

  • CHAPTER 240

    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

  • CHAPTER 239

    When Jeffery Flamel's consciousness finally got into his body, he sat still on his chair. He didn't move or behave suspiciously. He just sat down, reflecting on what he had been told just now.He still remembered that there was someone spying on him right now. He didn't want to alert the other party so he pretended that everything was okay. That he had not figured out that he was been spied on.He regulated his heartbeat by circulating Qi through his meridians, closing his eyes as he meditated. This was normal for a master like him. So the spy wouldn't suspect him.Why can't I detect him? Jeffery asked within himself. Even when I got into this room, I didn't detect any strange Qi signature. How is he able to hide from me? Is he a master like me? Or a grandmaster?He immediately shrugged off the last possibility as fast as it came to his mind. If it was a grandmaster there was no need for them to hide. They could just sweep in and eliminate him if they wanted to.So the person spying o

  • CHAPTER 238

    Jeffery waited in silence, watching Lukas. The man was also watching his predecessor intently, his eyes devoid of any emotion. It was as if he was watching something which he had created with his hands. It made Jeffery suddenly become uncomfortable."You mentioned telling me something important," he said, breaking the long silence. "Can you tell me now? In case you didn't notice, I'm already losing everything I suffered to build. And the same thing is happening to Rita as well."He paused, "So if you really want to help me you have to speak fast so I can continue with what I was doing."He raised the bottle up, shaking the content slightly. The drug within let out a white, soft glow before fading to its normal transparent colour. The Reversal awakening drug which he had created as a counter to Aadam's Dantian awakening drug."If you insist," Lukas finally spoke. "I have a lot of things to tell you actually. A lot of important things."Jeffery narrowed his eyes, his breath hitching. Im
