After seeing that Kimiko had defeated Sasuke and become a professional alchemist, Jeffery couldn't help but feel very grateful for today's event. Although he was going to help Kimiko to become a professional alchemist like he had promised, it wouldn't have happened tonight. He was already very busy because of the unknown foe who had finished acquiring all the shares in the Stirling Enterprise and was almost taking over the company.

"Miss, please call the cops while I take care of everything," Jeffery said as he turned to look at Rita.

"Are you sure?" Rita asked. "Look around you. Wouldn't there be questions about what happened right here? Wouldn't there be questions about how you were able to come out unscathed?"

"Questions?" Jeffery raised his eyebrows. "Everything happened so fast but I was quick enough to take down the assassins. How does that sound?"

Kimiko narrowed his eyes slightly before saying, "I hope the cops don't start asking questions about that as well. There is so much

    Jeffery waited for a long period of time, his eyes fixed on the cops and journalists. But even after two hours they didn't leave the mansion. Perhaps this was the disadvantage of being the top wealthiest family in the entire city.He soon grew tired of waiting and signalled to Kimiko that he would be leaving. His apprentice, who was also been interviewed by the journalists, quickly excused himself.If he had been someone like Rita they wouldn't have let him off easily. They would have crowded him, engulfing him in floods of cameras and microphones.But he wasn't as influential as Rita. Although he was a well known martial artist, his came was nowhere close to any member of the Stirling family.So the journalists easily let him go and redirected their focus to other bodyguards who were around. Perhaps they thought he was a bodyguard as well.He jogged towards Jeffery before stopping shortly in front of him. He then scratched his head and asked, "Where to, Boss?""I'm going to my alchem

    Jeffery stood far away from the commotion, watching with everything with an expressionless face. The cops were still around—focused on their investigations.Seeing them crowded in the Stirling Mansion made him seeth with disgust. He had never liked them or any law enforcement agency. He believed they were all twisted individuals who only cared about themselves.The government was already corrupted and there was no reverse to it. Degeneration had sunken greatly into its core. The only thing that could save it was having a new one enacted.The sirens were still wailing noisy, disturbing his peace. There were even vehicles belonging to the press zooming into the premises. The overzealous journalists didn't hesitate to leap out of these vehicles with enthusiasm. Their faces beamed with joy as they approached anyone they saw."Everyone of them is very pretentious," Jeffery muttered to himself.He knew very well that if the Stirling family had been another poor family out there, the police

    Some minutes earlier.There was the sound of sirens blaring through the air as police cars arrived at the Stirling mansion. Since the assassination attempt had not been publicized yet there was no media crew, making everything easier for the cops who arrived five minutes after they were called by Rita.When they got to the scene they couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions. There was destruction everywhere as if a bomb had been detonated here. The smithereens which should have been the corpses of the Stirling family bodyguards were sprawled across the entire place, soaked in pools of blood.They immediately began questioning the other bodyguards who also arrived to check what had happened. Earlier they had been paralyzed by the two advanced alchemists so they could not even protect the heir to the Stirling family even if they wanted. And while the other cops were questioning the bodyguards, some of them went to investigate the scene to look for clues.The captain of this team w

    Mr. Prescott was seated behind the table in his study, his hands under his chin. His eyes were narrowed and his lips pursed as he stared at the man standing in front of him. There was a deep silence as none of them spoke for a long period of time. The man standing in front of Mr. Prescott seemed to be in his middle age because of the wrinkles all over his face. But then he didn't have the frailness of body typical of middle-aged men. Instead he looked very strong and powerful as if he could take on ten strong men on his own. His eyes had this twinkle of experience and his face very calm as if he had been through a lot of things—as if nothing can shake him anymore.Mr. Prescott calmly looked at his wristwatch before turning to stare back at the man without saying anything. The man on the other hand was beginning to feel tensed as he continued to stand. Mr. Prescott was not saying anything but he could feel that the man was already beginning to get furious."Sir, I think we should wait

    After realizing that the other advanced alchemist was already dealing with Kimiko, Jeffery immediately rushed towards Yuri who was seated on the ground and tapped him on his acupoints, blocking his mana instantly. This way he wouldn't be able to heal and escape no matter what.He then turned to Rita and said, "I need to see how Kimiko is doing. He's fighting against an advanced alchemist and I don't think he's going to hold out for long."Rita nodded and said, "Go along. I'm behind you.""No," Jeffery said as he grabbed Rita and carried her. "I'm not going to leave you here. You're coming with me immediately."This was because there could be more assassins hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike. He couldn't allow Rita to be endangered no matter because he had already made a promise to Mr. Stirling. He had to protect his daughter no matter what, even if his life was put on the line.The moment Jeffery grabbed and carried her, a warm feeling immediately spread
