The decoction process involved understanding the nature of the herbs. Raw herbs were sharp and acted quickly, while processed ones had a more refined and gentle effect. When Callum began preparing the medicine, it was evident that he was indeed a renowned traditional Hestian medicine master.Based on the prescription, Callum leveraged his extensive experience to bring out the best qualities of each herb. His control over the heat during the decoction process was precise and masterful. Moreover, perhaps motivated by his bet with Liam, Callum's performance was exceptional.As time passed, a faint bitterness filled the air. When Callum added the final ingredient, two ounces of roasted licorice, and saw it dissolve, he swiftly removed the pot from the heat.The tonic was complete.Turning to Morgan, Callum nodded. "Are the contract documents ready?"Morgan sneered at Liam. "You won't back out of the deal, will you?"Liam raised an eyebrow, glancing at the dark tonic in the pot. "
Morgan collapsed to the ground, his face twisted in pain as he pointed at Liam and shouted, "Despicable scoundrel, you poisoned us! You shameless creature! The Denzel family will not let you get away with this—"However, before he could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him."Poisoned?"Liam shook his head, a mocking expression flashing across his handsome face. "Do you think you're worthy of being poisoned by me?"Morgan's face contorted with rage. "If it weren't for you, you wretched thing, how else would we end up like this?""The Compendium of Ancient Tincture states that the Spring Dawn Tincture is highly nourishing and has the effect of restoring and boosting vitality. However, if the medicine isn't properly prepared and the efficacy is not fully realized, it'll cause a surge in vitality."A young person might withstand it, but someone weak will suffer a backlash from the excessive nourishment. The first person who tried the medicine was probably young enough to resist the
Callum never imagined in his wildest dreams that the young man actually possessed such astonishing medical skills. Just the technique Liam had demonstrated earlier had already exceeded his expectations.Recalling the words Liam had once spoken, Callum's body trembled. If the miraculous formula for the Spring Dawn Tincture indeed came from the ancient Compendium of Ancient Tincture, did that mean the young man in front of him actually knew the long-lost medical treatise?How had the ancient Hestian medical community not heard of the young man? Who was he?Lucy was also stunned. Initially, she thought Liam's acupuncture skills were unparalleled, but he might not be familiar with herbal medicine. However, everything that had just happened shattered her understanding of Liam once again.Lucy gazed at Liam's tall figure, her expression dazed as she muttered, "Liam... What other secrets are you hiding from me?"Suddenly, a foolish voice jolted Lucy back to reality.Morgan plastered a f
Liam was momentarily stunned. "What's wrong?"A trace of helplessness flickered across Lucy's charming face. "I thought this prescription was a rare and precious formula. Who knew, Grandmaster Burrey, that you'd understand the prescription better than us? Given the difficulty in preparing the Spring Dawn Tincture, we simply can't scale it up for the market."Liam nodded. "That's true. The preparation method of the Spring Dawn Tincture indeed can't be mass-produced."The final step required a vast amount of inner energy, something an average person couldn't achieve.Seeing that even Liam could not find a way, a look of complete disappointment flashed on Lucy's face as she sighed. But soon, she lifted her head to look at Liam. "Don't worry, Grandmaster Burrey. Even though our charity foundation's pharmaceutical project can't continue, I can find other new projects to improve our foundation!""Why can't the pharmaceutical project continue?" Liam asked in surprise.Lucy looked up in
"Grandmaster Burrey..."Thinking about those things made Lucy suddenly look up, a flicker of confusion in her eyes as she gazed at him.At that moment, she began to understand why Julian was always respectful toward Liam. The upright figure in front of her seemed capable of anything.The realization quickened her heartbeat.Liam's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Note down the recipe for the Vitality Aid Powder.""Yes, Grandmaster Burrey," Lucy responded quickly, grabbing paper and a pen."Three ounces of Atractylodes, one ounce each of Poria and dried tangerine peel, one and a half ounces of lotus seeds, half an ounce of malt. Ground them into a powder before adding two ounces of white sugar..."As Liam calmly listed the ingredients, Lucy diligently recorded the recipe."The decoction method for the Vitality Aid Powder is straightforward and simple," Liam continued once she had finished writing.Suddenly, as if remembering something, Liam looked at her and said, "However, sin
Lucy sensed the sudden shift in Liam's emotions as she looked up at him. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the omnipotent Liam seemed a bit melancholic."Grandmaster Burrey? What's wrong?"However, Liam quickly adjusted his emotions and looked down at Lucy. "Nothing. I just think the name you chose is exceptionally beautiful."Lucy shook her head, a charming smile appearing on her face. "It's a good thing you were here this time, Grandmaster Burrey."She looked up at Liam, her eyes like autumn waters, and added seriously, "If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have known what to do!"Liam smiled. "It's nothing. After all, the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is a project we established together.""Together?" Lucy murmured.She had already decided to make the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, which she and Liam established, the best foundation in the world!However, Lucy did not reveal her inner thoughts.She looked up at Liam and smiled. "Liam, the matter has been
The secretary gave Serena a once-over and asked, "You're looking for Mister Lloyd? Do you have an appointment?"Serena grew slightly annoyed. "I'm Serena Lloyd! Do I need an appointment to see Etchen?"The secretary scowled in disdain. "No matter who you are, you need an appointment to see Mister Lloyd. Besides, Mister Lloyd is out for a meeting and hasn't returned yet."Serena was momentarily taken aback. "Out for a meeting and hasn't returned? What kind of meeting begins so early in the morning?"The secretary rolled her eyes even more exaggeratedly. "How would I know?"Serena's eyes flashed with a trace of anger. However, she knew it was not the time to argue with the secretary.Ignoring the secretary blocking the door, she turned around, took out her phone, and dialed Etchen's number.As soon as the call connected, Etchen's arrogant voice came through. "Serena! Calling me so early, what's wrong with you? Don't bother me if there's nothing important! I'm very busy!"Serena t
"Etchen isn’t here?"When he heard the receptionist's words, the leading man frowned deeply. Their agreed meeting time was ten past three in the afternoon. It was already three, and Etchen was still not there. Could he make it back in ten minutes? Regardless of whether Etchen could make it back or not, his attitude already showed a lack of seriousness toward the project.The pharmaceutical project covered a wide scope. It was no exaggeration that securing cooperation on the project would guarantee any company's future development. Numerous companies were vying for the opportunity to collaborate. The Lloyd Group was prioritized because of Serena's diligent efforts and meticulous preparation. However, Etchen's behavior filled the project leader with dissatisfaction."Let's wait a bit longer."The meeting time had not yet arrived, and the man could not say much. He turned to the other members of the project team, frowning as he spoke.Time passed quickly, and soon, it was alrea
"Grandmaster Burrey, I understand."Upon hearing this, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Nathaniel's eyes. "This will never happen again!"This incident was not just infuriating for Liam, but Nathaniel himself also felt utterly embarrassed!In the heart of the Fowler Society's stronghold in South City, someone dared to impersonate a member of the Fowler Society. This act itself showed a complete disregard for him.No matter what had caused this situation, he could never allow something like this to happen again."Do as you see fit," Liam said, glancing at Nathaniel indifferently. He then turned to Sophia and smiled. "Aunt Sophia, let Nathaniel handle things here at your shop. I'll go with you to the market and have a word with the management."He had not forgotten about the time when Sophia wanted to set up a stall in the market but was rejected by the management."No, no need!" Sophia waved her hands repeatedly.After everything that had happened today, she truly felt guilty ab
Even Sophia could not see the end of that black car!And beside each car stood nearly ten thousand men dressed in black suits.They said nothing, their faces cold, their imposing presence radiating an air of ruthlessness that reached the sky!At that moment, Nathaniel received a message from Liam.He did not know what exactly was happening at the scene, but Liam's tone made him extremely anxious!Nathaniel also did not understand how someone from the Fowler Society could dare to provoke Grandmaster Burrey!Immediately, he brought members from the Fowler Society in South City to the scene!However, concerned that bringing too many people might complicate the situation, Nathaniel had most of his subordinates wait outside on the street!"Please, I beg you!""Yeah! Please, spare us!""It's our fault, we were so bold and ignorant, rashly using the Fowler Society's name!""I'll kneel and apologize to you! Really, please, spare me!"...On the other side, the cries of Leopard and
If all of this is really true, doesn't that mean this man is really the president of the Fowler Society?Sophia's mind was a mess.At that moment…"Aunt Sophia, let's head back first."Liam's voice sounded. He looked at Sophia and gave a faint smile. "You don't need to worry about the rest. From now on, no one will bother you again.""When we come back, I think your shop should be restored to its original state."As he spoke, Liam turned and glanced at Nathaniel beside them."Y-Yes…"Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head again.He understood the implied meaning in Liam's words.However, Sophia, who was still in shock and confusion, didn't register Liam's words at all."We have to leave quickly!"She nodded urgently. "If the police show up later, we'll be in big trouble!"Sophia was still uneasy about the current situation."Ha…"Hearing this, Liam could not help but laugh.Sophia's reaction was rather cute, but he knew well that for
"Hahaha…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused, then let out a helpless laugh. "He's the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel, the one you mentioned.""What?"Sophia was suddenly stunned.She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Nathaniel, her gaze filled with suspicion. "He can be the president of the Fowler Society? Liam, don't lie to me!""I'm not lying to you…"Liam chuckled bitterly and shook his head.He turned to look at Nathaniel and sighed softly. "Did you see that? Lately, you've really been disappointing me.""Grandmaster Burrey!"Hearing this, Nathaniel trembled violently. A look of extreme fear flashed in his eyes. "I'm truly sorry! The issue with someone daring to impersonate a Fowler Society member, it's my fault!"Rest assured, from now on, I'll never let something like this happen again!"He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the group of people lying on the ground ahead, including Mister Leonidas, wishing he could tear them apart with his bare hand
"What's the relationship between Bluebird and Serena?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam froze for a moment, a look of confusion flashing across his eyes."I…"At the mention, Sophia froze even more abruptly.Right now, she could confirm that the current situation didn't seem to have anything to do with Serena.But the next moment, Sophia looked ahead, at the desolate scene, her body shuddered, and she suddenly snapped back to reality."Liam, listen to me, let's leave quickly!"She raised her head to look at Liam, her voice slightly tense as she spoke, "I know now how capable you are, but listen to me, we'd better leave first!"They're from the Fowler Society, and the forces behind them are far from simple. We really can't afford to mess with them. When I called the police back then, no one cared!"Sophia's face showed panic. "You've hurt so many of them, the Fowler Society won't just let this go!""I…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused.And at that moment..."Grandmaster Bur
A graceful figure suddenly appeared before him.Then, in the next instant, a piercing cold gleam suddenly erupted!Clang!The steel rod in Mister Leonidas's hand dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.He froze for a moment, looking down in confusion.Then, Mister Leonidas saw his own bare arm!In the next moment, he let out a horrific, agonizing scream!It was not just him.Ahh—!Behind him, all the men who had been holding rods and preparing to chase after Liam and Sophia trembled, letting out wails of unbearable pain!Because just at that moment, the palms holding their rods had been sliced off by a single slash!Bluebird stood nearby, holding a dagger, her expression indifferent, her eyes devoid of any emotion.It was a rare honor for Mister Leonidas and his men to provoke a martial arts Ascendant into action!"Quick... run..."Sophia's words were frozen in midair.She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing, her face filled with shock.Sophia had
"What do you think you are!"Hearing Liam's voice, the man known as Mister Leonidas turned his head, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam as he looked at Liam. "Do you think you have a say here?""Liam…"A trace of anxiety flashed across Sophia's face. She tugged at Liam's sleeve, signaling for him to stay quiet.When she saw Mister Leonidas and the others appear earlier, Sophia had been worried that Liam, being impulsive, might do something reckless!After all, young people sometimes can't control their tempers, and that's normal.She recalled how, when Mister Leonidas and his gang first demanded protection money, she had absolutely refused to pay!In the end, this had led to the current tragic situation.Sophia did not want Liam to be dragged into all this trouble."No wonder you dared to come back," Mister Leonidas sneered as he looked at the scene before him. "So you brought some backup!""But…" He looked Liam up and down, then mockingly spoke, "This so-called backup of yo
"This is the place…"Standing at the entrance of the shop, Sophia's expression darkened."Who gave them the guts..."Looking at the devastated butcher shop ahead, a flash of anger suddenly flickered in Liam's eyes!It was clear.For her butcher shop, Sophia had put in a lot of effort. Not only was the decoration quite delicate, but even the walls had a cartoonish image of Sophia smiling broadly!Just looking at the shop's decor, one could tell how happy and excited Sophia was during the preparation stage.But all of it had already been shattered to pieces before it even began!"Let's just leave after we're done…"Sophia's voice sounded heavy.She had turned her head, not wanting to see the heartbreaking scene inside the butcher shop."Aunt Sophia, don't be sad. I'll pay to help you redo the shop…"Noticing Sophia's sadness, Liam turned around and gave a small smile, trying to comfort her.However, just then, a harsh voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Liam's words."Did
"Fowler Society?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam was momentarily stunned."That's right."Sophia sighed deeply, looked up, and weakly glanced at Liam. "Child, you probably haven't heard of this organization.""We ordinary people are like this. Before this, I didn't even know there was a Fowler Society in our South City…"A bitter smile flashed across her face. "But after finding out, I realized the Fowler Society is actually the biggest underground force in South City!"We ordinary people are no match for them. If I had known this, I would've just paid the management fee to them. What would it have cost me…"Sophia was full of regret.Under the intense pressure of the so-called Fowler Society members, she dared not feel any anger. She only regretted paying the management fee, as that would have prevented the current situation!However, the more Liam listened to Sophia, the more he furrowed his brows."They actually dare to do such things?"His face darkened as he pulled o
