The Alchemist's expression suddenly turned bitter like a gourd at this moment, understanding that the answer lay clearly before him without any alternative, just a worsening situation with more choices.
All these issues really didn't require any other concerns or doubts—it was always too much to think about, and likewise, they became things that people could not confront or accept with ease.
In his heart, he seemed to be facing the situation at hand, feeling very helpless as he shook his head then sighed.
The situation thus did not require further strained explanations or questions concerning the problem.
Once more, facing the proposal before him, the previous indecision lingering in his mind began to gradually clear.
Just like he clearly knew what he wanted in facing the situation, in this scenario, what he wanted, he was willing to sacrifice whatever was necessary as a cost.
Therefore, he accepted the simple reality presented before his eyes.
