Chapter 226 - Outburst
“Why don’t I perform a magic trick for everyone?” Lin Li spoke while taking a clean goblet from the side. Anyhow, he had already fallen out with this bunch of pharmacists. Lin Li did not intend on being polite with them. After taking the goblet, he turned back and asked rudely, “Oh, yes, who can help me get a glass of clean water?”
The group of pharmacists stared each other. All of them were at a loss for words. The thickness of the fella’s face was almost as thick as the city walls of Alanna. Every single one of those pharmacists present was somebody of status and with big backing. To be able to stand there peacefully and watch him perform a magic trick was already giving enough respect. They did not think that this guy was going to ask for a yard after getting an inch. He even dared to ask someone to fetch him clean water. This was simply treating the Pharmacists Guild as the backyard of his house.
“Who would be willing to help you fetch it…” The group of pharmacists had tacit understanding with each other. They stared at the ceiling together. Nobody was willing to care about that thick skinned fella.
In an instant, the atmosphere became really awkward.
In the end, it was Balbo that spoke. He called that middle-aged pharmacist over. “Maxim, get him some water.”
“Ok.” The President had spoken, so, naturally, Maxim would not dare to neglect it. After nodding, he quickly fetched a glass of water for Lin Li.
“Thank you.” Lin Li poured the water into the goblet. At the same time, he put the shard from the goblet’s remnants into it. That spot of red remnant started to dissolve in the water. It looked like string that was swimming.
After that was said, the whole guild pharmaceutical lab immediately became silent.
The scene where the water exploded had left a deep impression in everyone. Now, how could they not understand what kind of frightening results would occur once the Spirit Addiction Leaf started to emit light and heat?
“The addition of the Leaf of the Origin Tree itself could already fuse the six elements together tightly. Once the Spirit Addiction Leaf starts to emit light and heat, it would immediately cause the Rainbow Herb to go on a rampage. After that it would be a chain reaction. If it were not because I was quick in striking down your goblet, the whole Pharmacists Guild would have been blown to the heavens now…”
“Mr. Elin, you’re President Balbo’s disciple. It’s impossible for you not to understand such basic pharmaceutical knowledge.” When Lin Li reached this point, the gaze which he looked at Elin with was filled with mockery. “Of course, I can understand your thoughts. It was just a gamble. If this cup of Catalytic Potion were to succeed, your name would go down in the history of pharmaceutical development. Who would not be moved by such eternal glory?
“Honestly, I am very curious, Mr. Elin. From the beginning, I always wanted to ask you that when you were gambling, did you think of the other pharmacists? Did you think of President Balbo? Did you think about us, the innocent pharmacists that came to take part in this gathering? Look at the hall below, hundreds of pharmacist from all over the Felan Kingdom have come here. It’s best if you look carefully—they are here to exchange pharmaceutical knowledge, not to be blown to heaven by you.
“I…” Once Elin heard the phrase “Spirit Addiction Leaf”, his mind started to tighten. His fair and refined face immediately became pale.
He opened his mouth, trying to explain himself, but just as he said “I”, he was immediately shut down harshly by Lin Li.
“What about you?” Lin Li glared at Elin; his tone was filled with a rage that could not be restrained. “Prioritizing the chance to leave your name in pharmaceutical history over your life is your own problem. If you’re willing to gamble with your life, then it’s just you seeking death. Don’t f*cking drag me into it, not to mention trying to act as the victim with an innocent look and making moves at me while feeling wronged. If you have the guts, just try it again. If I don’t kill you, I’ll write my name backwards!”
Everyone were at a loss of what to do when facing Lin Li’s sudden outrage. Even Balbo’s gaze towards Lin Li was filled with remorse.
“And all of you!” After scolding Elin in his face, Lin Li’s anger had still not simmered down. He turned around and stared at the pharmacists tauntingly. “All of you idiots, do you know what you are doing? Praising buoyantly while helping this idiot kill people. F*ck. The saying “helping others even though you’ve been had” is meant for you idiots!”
