As the pair of siblings left, Snow looks at the document on his hand.
The words of Sean continues to appear in his head.
"Having such mindset will cause harm to befall not only to you but also to your friends and family."
"That would be the case if I do not have the strength nor capability to achieve my wish."
His wife hugs him from behind and asks. "What are you thinking, dear?"
"The report given to me, it stated that Sean might be at the high stage of the Skin Tempering Realm." He explains.
"That is impossible! He had started his journey the same day as our daughter, if by miracle he can improve faster than her, the highest he could reach should only be at middle stage!" She was shocked in disbelief.
"Yes, in fact, I believe that he has a strength comparable to that of the high stage but only is at the lower stage." He nodded his head.
A knock appears outside of the door, it was Jane, she looks at her father and says. "I found the last candidate."
"What!? Who did you found!?" His father turns to her with his eyes wide open.
"I heard from one of our members that he encountered a powerful true martial artists that hunts Mountain Bears."
"What!? Hunt not just kill?" He asks, quite surprised by this.
He can defeat a Mountain Bear easily too but that is because he is at the level that he can kill such low stage high grade monsters.
"Yes, apparently, after hunting the Mountain Bear, he also hunted a medium grade monster." She added.
"Do you know how to meet him?" He asks the important question.
"No, but there is a chance that he will hunt once again, I had some of our men stationed near the gate." She stated.
"That was the right choice but as a powerhouse, he might be quite prideful, so be careful when you are dealing with him." He cautioned.
"Don't worry father, I know what to do, if he truly accept our offer, he would be a great addition to our force."
Back home, Sean was cooking another meal with the remaining meat of the Mountain Bear.
Because of how much he is eating and the growing appetite of his parents and cousin, the amount of meat has already become small.
"Tell Lucielle to return, we are going to have our dinner." He asks his sister.
The three of them decided to eat first, they know that their parents would return home together and sometimes both of them would stay at their job.
"Tomorrow, I might not be home as I am going to buy another batch of high grade monster meat, Lucielle, I want you to come with Scarlet, the two of you are going to study." He explains.
"What topic are we going to study?" Asks Scarlet, she might act like a barbarian sometimes but she is actuay quite intelligent.
This was influenced by Sean throughout their childhood.
"You, I think nothing, it is Lucielle that truly needs to study, I want you to teach her how to read and write at an advanced level."
She immediately agrees, she wants to provide help to their pitiful cousin too.
"I might return at noon, tell Lana to wait in the house if they arrive before I return." He instructs.
He wants to check the progress of his disciples and also, wants to continue nourishing his two earthworms with the blood of monsters.
The next day, Sean wakes up quite early, leaving the house without anyone noticing, he went and changed into his outfit and went to their base.
The current slum is no longer the same as before, many establishments are now currently being built everywhere.
Gambling den, an underground monster battle stadium, an underground martial art tournament, a brothel and multiple bars.
This place is definitely going to be lawless, he knows that even with his strength, if the city continues to improve rapidly, he will not be able to monopolized the market.
"Boss! You finally came to visit, thank god." Beggar was already awake at such a early time.
He was surprised, he knows this partner of his likes to drink and eat, this is his vice and he is rather accepting of it.
"What happened for you to react like this?" His voice hardens, the current plans are too important to him.
If anyone dares to hinder their activity, he does not mind using his second ability to fight a true martial artists.
"We are all out of berserk pills! The orders just keep on coming!"
"What!? Didn't I gave you enough to last for a year? You finished it in just one month!?" He was shocked.
"Yes, the ones who bought the majority were the authorities, they are grilling us on when will be the next shipment, our other partners are also pushing us to produce more." He explains before giving some documents to Sean.
After reading the data gathered, he frowns, it seems that the current situation of humanity is not looking good.
"We are lucky that we had taken the base of the Demon Triad, we can expand our farm, tell our group to gather as much ingredients as we can." He instructs.
He does not care if it is so early, he will create a large amount of medicine in order to give humanity some strength to fight back.
His safety, the safety of his family and everyone else is at stake.
"We already gathered them boss, we were only waiting for you." Beggar answered loudly.
"Good! Tell the others to bring out some seeds, I am going to plant them in our second base." He enters his alchemy room.
He busies himself from making medicines, he grabs one and with his ability, he see through their components.
This is the reason why he managed to become an Alchemist, the use of (Nurture).
It does not only work on humans and monsters but also plants, it seems that they are considered as living organisms also.
Combining theories and hints from books that he read and his (Nurture), he created a lot of medicines but his greatest creation as of date is his berserk pills.
It took him three hours to complete all the orders, leaving the room mentally exhausted, drained of his energy too after using (Nurture) without stop, he left the base with a very pale skin.
He does not show it because of his costume but the way he walks makes it quite obvious.
"Why don't you just rest for now boss and let us be the ones to deliver the seeds?" Beggar asks.
"It's okay, just escort me to our second base, I will rest there but don't let anyone know my current state." He solemnly stated.
He knows that there are multiple powers that wants to have his recipe but it was difficult for him to create it.
He experienced countless failures, sure the amount of money he wasted might not be as big as he always told his subordinates but all of those ingredients were planted and raised by him.
The amount of effort he did just in order to expand their business is immense, he is not willing to just give it up to hyenas.
They left the base, other than Beggar, no one knows that Sean is currently in a weakened state.
All of them look at him with shining eyes, the battle between him and Mad Bull is still fresh in their minds.
"Only these? Where are the other crates?" The amount of seeds is not as big as he hoped it to be.
"Some of the plants were still growing, we were unable to obtain some seeds from them." Beggar explains.
Sean can only accept the situation, he did not expect that the battlefield seems to have gone worse.
"Let's go." Unbeknownst to him, there were multiple figures that has their eyes on him right now.
"It seems that they are now planning to create another garden." One of the people spying on them speaks.
"The medicines are off limits, I've heard from my sources that it is the authorities that are distributing them." States another one.
"We already have the list of all ingredients, why are we still that adamant in gaining the recipe?" A man with a pair of glasses asks.
"Because, even our top alchemists and scientists are unable to fully concoct the pill." States another.
"His talent is immense!" The man with glasses exclaim.
"Yes, too bad, he is quite rooted in this city, no matter how much we pay him, he is too stubborn to leave this place."
Meanwhile, having his team scatter everywhere, Sean finally relaxes, he is walking normally but this is only because of Beggar on his side.
"Boss!" They were greeted by a group of people wearing the same outfit as his subordinates.
"Are they the new recruits?" He asks.
