Word had quickly spread about the incident that happened at the red sparrow merchant tent.
A few minutes later, some men came to pick Ward, leaving quietly.
People begin to gather in front of the red sparrow tent.
"Do you know what happened"
"I don't know, but some people saw him sent flying out of the tent"
" By who?"
"That I don't know"
" Is it possible that a hidden expert is guiding the alchemist?"
" What do you think?"
" I can't say, an alchemist that can make legendary pills will be something far from ordinary"
Some of the crowd nodded their heads when they heard that. Out of the crowd, a man said " I hope the hidden master is strong enough to contend against all the arrogant noble Lord's"
" That Doesn't matter, since he had made an example out from an early essence building realm stage 2 with a single punch"
" I hope so"
" The power struggle doesn't have anything to do with us"
"Mhmm"
" Let watch out how everything unfold"
With the various murmuring and gossip coming from the crowd, the red sparrow staff were all panicking. Song had a bid of sweat on her forehead, she trembles a little. She struggles to control her nervousness.
" I hope the noble families did not cause any problem for the red sparrow merchant group," she thought.
A middle-aged woman in her mid-forties entered the red sparrow tent along with a young lady in her mid-twenties.
She looked at everyone in disdain, her egotism had no bounds.
" Am Ida and this Brettle. We are from the Areola family," the middle-aged woman said.
Song approach them and smile " welcome Madam Ida and Miss Brettle"
Ida smiles, she does not show any loftiness of the noble people while Brettle looks at her snobbishly, looking at the surrounding with contempt.
Song ignored Brettle rude behavior " how may I be of help to you," she said smiling.
" We are here to meet the legendary alchemist," Ida said.
" No problem, you just have to show me what you wanted to offer the alchemist before I can allow you to meet the alchemist"
" Humph"
" What type of alchemist would demand to meet them? If we are here to talk, are we to make an offer, hmmm?" Brettle said with her eyebrow raised, looking at her scornfully.
Ida did not try to caution Brettle, she had the same thought as her.
Song continues to smile, " the esteemed alchemist did not have all the time to have any meaningless conversation with anybody who had nothing to offer. If you are not here for pills, you can take your leave," she said pointing her finger to the exit.
" Even though we are from a middle-class family, that doesn't mean you can trample on our dignity, hmm. We had already gone against one noble family, what's there in adding you to the list, mtcheew, let see how you are going to meet the alchemist without me," Song thought.
Ida was furious when she heard what Song said.
"Meaningless talk! Do you know am representing my whole family, do you want to go against my family, hmm"
" Family again! Ah!"
Song look at her nonchalantly, she had her smiles all over her face " when you're ready, you can notify me"
She walked away from their presence, shaking her wide hips, giggling.
Realizing Song had just walked away from their presence while making jest of them. Ida and Brettle were dumbfounded, their anger boiling as their eyes almost popped out of their socket.
Ida and Brettle keep on trying to keep their fury in check, the unknown hidden expert makes them wary of what may happen if they show some hostility.
Ida and Brettle looked at each other, they did not know what to do. Should they go back or show what they wanted to offer which they did not prepare for.
Ida sighed, she and Brettle walked out of the red sparrow filled with shame. Brettle hid her face behind Ida's back. The crowd looks at them mockingly.
" Mtcheew"
" Humph"
" They had nothing to offer and they behave like a royal family, mtcheew, morons"
" Empty shell"
Ida almost Tripp when she heard that. Quickly, with a large stride, Ida and Brettle scurried away timidly not having the courage to look at the crowd.
They thought they could at least have a conversation with the alchemist and lure the alchemist into their family with a tempting reward.
But everything went south when they were asked to present their offer before they were allowed to see the alchemist, not even in their wildest dreams will they believe with their family background they will be looked down upon by ordinary people.
Ida and Brettle couldn't be blamed, everybody in the sky polar empire will have to give them a face when they hear the name Areola family, except this mysterious alchemist whose origin is still unknown.
An elderly man dressed in an expensive red robe walked in. Having learned from the past experience, he said in all humbleness " Arce of Watson Family, am here to see the legendary alchemist"
The boy behind the counter had been astounded, the aura coming from the elderly man was too great. He stutters " well….come....hmmm….Mr....let me get the manager"
He dashed out before the man could utter any word.
" Hmmh "
"That was new, " Arce thought.
Song approach Arce with her heavenly smile " welcome Mr. Arce, I believe you know the procedure" she asked.
" Yes, am well prepared"
" That good, please follow me"
Walking inside the inner chamber, a couch, and a table with different fruits on top were placed inside a basket.
" Please have your seat," Song said while taking her seat.
"Mhmm"
Song stared at the elderly man sitting adjacent to her, she smiled.
" Is she on a pill that makes her smile all the time, hmm?" Arce thought with his lips twitch a little.
"Please show your offer," Song said.
Nodding his head, Arce swapped his hand on his storage ring.
" Whisss"
The corpse of BLACK SMOKE MONSTER COW appears on the floor.
Song gasped, fixing her gaze on the body parts of the rank 2 black smoke monster cow, her jaw dropped.
" As expected of one of the strongest families in the empire," she thought in awe.
Witnessing her reaction, Arce was pleased. He smiled raising his chest up
" I believe these should be enough" raising his eyebrows.
" Mhmm"
Nodding her head, waving her hand, all the body of the rank 2 black smoke monster cow disappeared inside her storage ring.
Smiling " give me a minute, let me call the alchemist," Song said, taking her to leave.
Arce had been looking all around, waiting to meet the legendary alchemist.
After a few minutes, a young lady walked inside the inner chamber, she sat opposite Arce, staring at him with a cold gaze.
