Ever since his son was slain, the Acting Head of the Huang Family had devoted all his energy to managing and cultivating.
He had also heard about the Supreme Elixirs, and his father had mentioned that the enemy responsible for his son's death had become a Supreme Alchemist amidst the tragedy, which only fueled his sorrow and rage.
Why wasn't it his son who had become stronger?
If his son were still alive, could he have grown just as powerful?
Torn between hope and worry, he watched his father and the Elders leave to seek out the Supreme Elixirs. He too craved possession of such pills, but to purchase them from his foe was to pay tribute, and that was a humiliation to their Huang Family.
Without a Supreme Alchemist of their own, they were forced to buy the enemy's pills, a reluctant act of helplessness. They bore the disgrace, dreaming that one day they would grow strong enough to avenge their son.
