Chapter 255 - Guarding Against Thieves
How could Hoffman tell him? A once-in-a-century genius pharmacist like Lin Li would be a highly sought-after individual. Letting another force in on such a talent’s identity would mean more competition. Hoffman had never mentioned it, but he was already planning on how he’d bring this young man into the Glittergold Trade Union.
The potion formula was just a test. As a businessman, he was more adept at beating around the bush and building trust as compared to people like Johnathan and Englos.
Hoffman was shrewd indeed. After that pharmaceutical discussion event, there were at least a dozen forces vying for Lin Li. But at present, there seemed to be only a hopeful few, and that included Hoffman’s Glittergold Trade Union.
He had gotten into Lin Li’s good books with the Book of Ten Thousand Incantations, and had Lin Li owe him a favor with the Dry Soul Curse. If nothing would go wrong, Hoffman believed that the Glittergold Trade Union he represented had the highest chance among all the other forces. It was a 20-year-old potion master they were talking about—it was a matter of time before he broke through the level of a pharmaceutics guru. When the time came, everyone would be at the beck and call of the Glittergold Trade Union!
Seeing that the opportunity was just within reach, Hoffman held his guard up against Herza.
Herza represented the Supreme Council. When Felic joined the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, he’d joined the Supreme Council’s influence as well at the same time. It was simply too easy for the old man to win Felic over. He’d only need to hand down a transfer order, and all the forces, including the two holy shrines, could only watch as the genius pharmacist entered the Supreme Council.
F*ck, I’ll only tell you over my dead body… Hoffman clenched his teeth determinedly. However, there was perplexion on his face. “How would I know? I’m not from the Guild of Magic, so it’s natural that I know nothing about him. Old fellow, don’t be so quick to suspect me, alright?”
