"I'm quite disappointed in you, Mr. Albert, for not knowing our lord's capabilities. Isn't information supposed to be your job?" Cao Cao asked smugly, questioning Albert's competence.
Albert looked back with a smile. "It's precisely because I know the information that I am in awe and surprise right now. What our lord did defies the fundamental rules of alchemy. It's like suddenly discovering that what I breathe is not air, but water, and having it proven right before my eyes. That level of surprise."
Cao Cao was stunned. He had intended to provoke Albert and hurt his pride, hoping to make him slip up and show his ugly side in front of their lord. Perhaps he had underestimated Albert's ability to maintain his composure.
Daniel began, "Is it that surprising?" He placed the transmuted Adamantine on the desk and slid it toward Albert. "But don't worry, transmuted material still has its limits."
