She watched as Mas brought a group of elves out of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters unscathed.
Walter, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. A stone that had been hanging over his heart finally fell. If he could not see the figure, he was ready to go back and call Harry in to get Mas out.
"Honorable Boss, it's great to see you come out unscathed!" Walter heaved a sigh of relief.
"Walter, there's no need to make a fuss. Didn't I already tell you? I'm just going in to talk business with Belek!" Seeing the worried look on the white-bearded dwarf's face, Mas found it funny and a little heartbroken. It seemed that no one had cared about him like this for a long time.
"Boss, I have to say that you're really impressive to actually bring the two sisters out. Can you tell me what method did you use?!" Walter looked at Sha You and Leah, who were behind Mas, and was extremely surprised.
"Hey, Walter, what are you doing here?" Leah naturally recognized Walter who was also an elf. She was a little puzzled to see him here.
"Don't be surprised. I only hired the two of you because I heard about you from Walter. Similar to the both of you, Walter is now one of my employees. From now on, you'll be responsible for helping me. As for your sister's Sha You's disease, I'll help you solve it!" Mas explained calmly.
Hearing this, Walter looked at Mas in surprise.
"Lord Dyson, do you really think Master Mas can help my sister refine pills for Lou Gehrig's disease?" Leah stared at Mas, desperate to hear her answer.
Sha You was also very excited. There was nothing more important than curing her illness. If she was not afraid of death, she would not have chosen to live with her sister Leah.
As a long-lived elf, Sha You was afraid that she would die early, leaving her sister Leah alone in this world.
"Of course. With Master Mas's alchemy skills, curing your Lou Gehrig's disease is nothing difficult." Mas smiled faintly.
"Thank you, Lord Dyson. You and Master Mas are my benefactors."
When Sha You heard that, she instantly rushed up and hugged Mas tightly. Her delicate body pressed tightly against Mas, making him secretly exclaim in pleasure. She, who had been tortured by Lou Gehrig's disease, was now excited to hear that she could be cured completely!
"Sis, sis, sis! What are you doing?!"
Leah shouted with a flushed face at Sha You's bold move.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Shayou let go of her arms. A small, delicate face leaned into Mas's ear and murmured, "Thank you, Lord Dyson, for giving me this opportunity. I have nothing to repay you with."
With that said, she leaned over and kissed the side of Mas's face. Her fair face also turned a little red from shyness.
The shy Sha You ran behind her sister Leah.
However, from the crimson pointy ears, one could tell that her mood was not calm.
Mas, who had lived two lifetimes, was still a great mage. He had never even held a girl's hand before. Sha You's bold action stunned him. He slowly came back to his senses and sighed. "Am I being teased by an elf sister? But it feels pretty good."
However, she could understand Sha You's actions. After all, both of their magic rune engraving skills were limited. She did not believe that a great alchemist she did not know would help her for free. She could only use this method to capture Mas's "disciple".
Mas did not intend to explain anything. Now that he was in the capital city of the Storm Empire, where the good and the bad mixed together, many spies were present. It was not good to reveal his true identity to them now. It would not be too late to tell them his identity after he returned to his Alchemy Tower.
"Thank you, Lord Dyson!"
The two blushing elf sisters exchanged a glance and thanked Mas gratefully.
Mas did not mind the sisters' gratitude. Instead, he looked at the attributes panel that appeared beside the sisters.

The two sisters' high attributes surprised him. After so many days of understanding by the system, Mas had a rough understanding of the classification of strength in this world.
Similar to the novels in his previous life, there were various kinds of professionals. Their strength was divided from Level 1 to Level 9. Each level was further divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Ordinary commoner professionals would be stuck at Level 3 for their entire lives. There were only about 40% of professionals who could break through to Level 3.
Once he broke through the threshold of a Level 3 professional and became a Level 4 professional, his strength would have a qualitative leap.
Level 4 and Level 5 were the intermediate stages of the entire system. Level 5 was a major barrier. Once one broke through to become a Level 6 professional, they would be an Advanced professional. There was only a pitiful 10% share in the entire continent who are at that stage.
As for Levels 7, 8 and 9, they were divided in more detail.
Level 7 was known as a Mythical Expert. Level 8 was known as an Epic Expert. Level 9 was known as a Legendary Expert.
From what Mas had learned over the past few days, he knew that the strongest professional in the ten empires was only an Advanced Epic Expert, and the Legendary Expert was a God recorded in myths!
According to the information that Mas currently had, there was no such thing. It could also be because he was too weak and could not reach that level.
Returning to the topic, Mas was still very satisfied with the two sisters' extremely high attributes, not to mention that the two sisters still had an unknown bloodline that had yet to awaken. If the bloodline awakened, it was not impossible for the two sisters to leap to become Level 6 professionals.
Mas was determined to treat Sha You's illness. Having two powerful professionals as his followers was a good deal for him.
He was only lacking the ingredients and formulas to make the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir now. Mas took advantage of the fact that it was not yet the appointed time to go to the Storm Empire's Alchemist Guild to take a look.
In each of the ten empires, there were merchant associations and professional guilds. People who needed gold coins or alchemical materials could issue missions, and alchemists would receive rewards for completing missions. Some alchemists, because they had no money to buy alchemical materials, would sell their alchemy recipes to the Alchemist Guild in exchange for money or materials.
On the other hand, the Alchemist Guild would divide the alchemy recipes obtained through various means and channels and sell them to the alchemists who needed them at different prices, forming a circle of conscience.
Generally speaking, the Alchemist Guild sold the rarest alchemical creatures and alchemical war tools in private. However, most people could only buy low grade items. Without a noble status, the snobbish Alchemist Guild would not sell high grade items to civilians.
This was also why Walter was so excited when he heard that he could sell a Level 5 intermediate Red Crystal Gargoyle to him. After all, everyone was afraid of death, let alone a wealthy businessman who enjoyed all kinds of wealth and luxury.
Mas believed that alchemical pills like the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir were expensive five-star high grade alchemy items, but they were not widely used. Not to mention finished products, the Alchemist Guild would probably sell them to him for formulas. After all, recipes could be replicated indefinitely, right?
"Okay, come with me."
Seeing that everyone was still immersed in joy, Mas greeted them and prepared to return to Harry's restaurant to check on Harry's situation.
Everyone followed Mas back to the restaurant where Harry was eating. Mas had spent nearly an hour and a half since he left but Harry was still engrossed in eating. That showed how much he ate.
Mas and the others were not in a hurry. They waited quietly by the side. Harry was so immersed in the joy of the meal that he did not notice the arrival of the crowd. The plates on the table had already piled up to the height of a small mountain and could not be stacked further. He could only place the empty plate that he had finished on the ground. As he burped, Harry licked the empty plate as if he had not had enough.
Finally, he noticed the crowd of Mas and company waiting beside him. He seemed to have realized that he had lost his composure and used his arms to wipe his oily mouth. He stood up and gave a silly laugh. "Boss, I didn't notice you coming. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Thank you, Boss. After two years, this is the first time I've eaten so much."
Even Mas, who had always been calm, looked at the mountain of empty plates and could not help but pull his chin. It was too exaggerated.
Having watched so many competitive eating videos in his previous life, Mas had to admire Harry's appetite when it came to eating alone.
"How many gold coins worth did he eat, boss?" On the surface, Mas looked calm, but from his slightly trembling voice, one could see that his heart was not as calm as it looked.
"It's not a lot. Esteemed guest, you reserved 500 gold coins for us earlier. This brother here ate 496 gold coins. I'll round it down for you. These 10 gold coins are the change."
The tavern owner respectfully returned the remaining money to Mas.
Mas received the gold coins with a pained expression and stored them in his Alchemy Space. He hurriedly brought the four of them to the Alchemy Guild.
"Lord Dyson, are we going back to the Alchemy Guild now?" Leah, who had been taking care of her sister Sha You all these years and helping her sister buy fire-attribute alchemical pills at the Alchemy Guild, was more than familiar with this path.
"That's right. Since I promised to help your sister treat her illness, I naturally won't go back on my word. Now, I'm going to the Alchemy Guild to purchase the formula for the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir. Then, I'll get Master Mas to help refine that elixir and treat your sister's illness!"
As if sensing the elf's uneasiness, Mas placed his large, white hands on top of Leah's head as he spoke, trying to comfort her.
Just as Mas finished speaking, the cold system prompt followed closely behind.
[Sha You's loyalty has increased by 25].
[Leah's loyalty has increased by 20].
[Walter's loyalty has increased by 10]
"Brother Dyson's hand is so warm! My sister's illness can be cured and I feel so blessed!"
"My illness can finally be cured. I don't have to drag my sister down anymore. I have to thank Master Mas and Dyson!"
"Boss is so nice to the elves. Can I bring my wife and children with me in the future?"
The three people present all had their own thoughts and were deeply grateful to him.
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Mas's lips.
The natives of this world were actually so naive. With just a few words, the good impression of the three elves had increased so much.
If he revealed his identity when he returned to the Alchemy Tower and completely cured Sha You's Lou Gehrig's disease, wouldn't he be able to increase the favorability of these three elves to 100?
