326 Chapter 320 : : Compensation

"Oh, an Essence Flame? Interesting, let's see if you even deserve it," Rex said with a sneer. In the next second, he activated Pyrokinesis and forced his control over the flame.

Lee Jae Rin didn't understand the meaning behind his words, he was just about to speak when he realized that his connection with the flame suddenly fluctuated, the flame became disoriented and stopped listening to his commands, Lee Jae Rin panicked for a few second but after that, he calmed down and focused, soon he successfully regained his control over the flame.

At this time Jiang Qing and others had also come from afar and witnessed what was happening here.

Rex looked at him in slight surprise, Lee Jae Rin regaining control over the essence flame meant that he had fully subdued the flame, he was highly compatible with flame and his synchronization level was also not low.

"Well, that was a surprise. Hmm… It's good too, let me see how a fight using flames looks like," Rex said as he raised his left hand and the Scarlet Heavenly Flame appeared above his hand.

Zhu Yuan was shocked.

The Great Grand Master stopped screaming and looked at Rex with his mouth wide open, he seems to have completely forgotten about his frozen legs.

The second his eyes landed on that flame, Lee Jae Rin was dumbstruck. The temperature of that scarlet flame was way higher than his essence flame, he was only able to get his essence flame because of the inheritance of the great alchemist ancestor in his family and had spent years to gain proper control over it, he never thought that a person who looked of the same age as him could control such strong flame especially when he lived in Golden Bird Continent.

Rex was quite satisfied with their shocked expression, seeing them like that he wasn't able to resist and raised his other hand with a serious expression on his face.

"Hoo? If you are not good with hot flames then how about we make things a little cooler?" Rex said and in the next second, a deep blue flame appeared above his other hand.

The high temperature of the room instantly cooled down.

Lee Jae Rin sucked in a breath of cold air, the flame in his hand had long been disappeared. His mind went blank, never in his wildest dream did he think that he would meet someone who could wield two top-grade essence flames in Golden Bird Continent, especially when both the flames seems to have completely opposite attribute.

The old men trio behind Rex was in no better condition, if they knew Rex could wield two essence flame then even if they were dead drunk and had Core Breaking peak stage cultivation base, they would still not dare attack him. At this level, whether Rex had backing or not didn't matter at all, when the news of such alchemist getting killed goes out they would be slaughtered by some random angry alchemist anyway, who doesn't want to wield two flames? Alchemist from all over the continent could wait in line for weeks if they get the chance to get some pointer from such a person to clear their doubts and progress further, Rex would be like a hen that lays golde- platinum egg for them.

Jiang Qing was also filled with adoration for him.

Right now, Lee Jae Rin's mind was working at its full capability, suddenly his eyes shined.

'Wait I remember where have I read about this flame, although it's not white or light blue but it's cold like the Netherworld's Ice Flame mentioned in the Hundred Lost Treasure Flames Book in the grand library, this flame actually exists and it has been subdued too,' A big fukk appeared in his mind.

His eyes started to shine like glitters, he didn't have a single thought like snatching the flame or anything because once a flame-like that has been submitted to someone, it cannot be recovered, and vying for other's flame is a taboo between alchemists.

At this time, Lee Jae Rin finally tried to see through Rex's cultivation base and realized that Rex aside he couldn't see through the cultivation base of the bluebird sitting on his shoulder or the three old men beside him, he was only able to see through the girl standing on the side who was a Human Venerable.

"If you have stared enough then let us begin, I don't have tim- eh?" Rex was saying when Lee Jae Rin immediately got on his knees.

"This Junior asks for forgiveness for offending senior," Lee Jae Rin said.

'What The Fukkk?' Rex looked at him in confusion, he didn't think that showing the two flames could have such an impact, he was expecting Lee Jae Rin to eye his flame get blinded by greed. The flame cannot be snatched from him but greed had no reasoning, Rex had confirmed it after meeting too many smarty pants on his way, one of the examples were the three old men standing behind him.

He had already considered the outcome of offending the alchemist association, they would only come to trouble him because attacking their branch was a slap in the face for them but after they know his skill in potions they will likely cease their anger and he could strike a deal with them for future business, like a collaboration between Frozen Flame and Alchemist Association. He didn't think that the people from Alchemist Association headquarters would go too far for these money grabbers here. What he didn't expect was there was a person here with a high IQ rivaling a normal human being.

"Senior, this junior was blinded by your appearance and thought of you as a young arrogant person. I don't know how these two offended seniors, they had disgraced our association's name by offending an alchemist like you. Please give me one chance to redeem for my mistake and clear the bad feeling for our association you might have built because of them," Lee Jae Rin said in a sincere tone.

Lee Jae Rin now believed that Rex was way older than that he looks, many female alchemists use various ways to maintain their young appearance so it won't be surprising if Rex did the same moreover his cultivation base is high so it's not easy to predict his age.

The Great Grand Master lowered his head, he knew he could do nothing right now, the person in front of him have two essence flame, there is only one person in the four continent who possess this ability which was the association head and today he realized that there was not only one more person like that but he had also offended him, if the news reached the ears of his higher-ups then the association head might personally come to wipe him out.

Zhu Yuan also became anxious, after Jiang Qing followed Rex here and he got to time to focus on her, he could already guess who was Rex and why was he here. After all, the one who told his son to marry her was none other than him and the ways he used didn't escape his eyes either, he was just waiting for the results, he never believed someone would dare take action knowing that he works for Alchemist Association.

Rex was silent for a while, then he sneered inwardly but his face was still serious.

"You want to redeem for their sins? Do you know what they did?" Rex said in a displeased tone.

Jiang Qing had a bad feeling, she gave a sympathetic look to Lee Jae Rin and the two behind him.

"Senior, at least give me a chance, please tell me what unspeakable act they did. I assure you that the association will thoroughly compensate you for it," Lee Jae Rin said in a resolute tone.

"Tell you? Should I tell you how he attempted to kidnap my friend's innocent little daughter more than 10 times?" Rex shouted.

"10 times?" Zhu Yuan had his mouth wide open.

'10 times? When did that happen?' Jiang Qing thought.

"Should I tell you how he extorted 1,000,000 high-grade spirit stones from her poor helpless father in the name of dowry for a marriage that never happened?" Rex continued.

'1,000,000 high-grade spirit stones?' Zhu Yuan gasped.

'Poor helpless father?' Jiang Qing's lips twitched.

"Should I tell you how this branch head colluded with this man to suppress our business and causing 50% loss to our overall turn over," Rex said.

'50% loss? Didn't father say the profit increased by 30%?' Jiang Qing found it hard to look at Zhu Yuan in the face.

"Should I tell you that he might have succeeded in kidnaping her, if these three honorable Golden Core stage elders of my organization weren't protecting her instead of cultivating and contributing to the organization?" Rex disgruntled.

'Elders?' The old men trio.

"Should I tell you how he forced me to come out of seclusion when I was just a step away from breaking through to Sky Body Formation stage?" Rex again threw the pot.

Lee Jae Rin opened his eyes so wide that his eyelids were on the verge of tearing apart.

The three old men exchanged glances with each other, having no intention to believe the nonsense Rex was spouting out. Would a Core Breaking peak stage expert need poison to catch them? Although they thought this, they didn't dare say a single word but their faces were dark as charcoal.

The three elders look seriously angry...

Lee Jae Rin thought after noticing their dark faces.

Kenery shook her head, she acted like she doesn't get surprised anymore by his shameless acts.

Lee Jae Rin thought for a few moments then stood up.

"Senior I understand, their acts were too despicable I alone cannot judge them, this all needs to be discussed among the higher-ups to give you appropriate compensation. For now, I can only solve the problem of 1,000,000 high-grade spirit stones," Lee Jae Rin said then he took out a silver parchment and wrote something on it using a wooden pen that seemed like a spirit tool.

He then handed it to Rex.

"Senior, with this you can buy anything from any branch of Alchemist Association worth 1,000,000 high-grade spirit stone, you can also directly withdraw spirit stones using this. It is signed in the name of my master so it won't work for now, only after I inform the higher-ups about it, would it work. It will take about a month at most to do it," Lee Jae Rin said in an apologetic tone.

Rex gave him a strange look. Seeing him like that Jiang Qing understood what he was thinking and sent him a message.

'Damn... I should have said 5,000,000 top-grade spirit stones,' Rex thought.

"Senior you don't need to worry about these two, the association will take care of them," Lee Jae Rin assured him.

"Hmm... You only need to take care of this branch head as for him... humph," Rex turned to Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan's pupils shrunk, suddenly a blue flame appeared out of nowhere and froze him before he could scream.

Lee Jae Rin was about to speak but seeing that Zhu Yuan has already died, he didn't say anything. He already knew that the higher the achievement of an alchemist was the arrogant they were, Rex listening to him for so long is already considered to be quite polite.

Zhu Yuan had long synchronized with his flame so there was nothing left after his death, he giving too many resources to his son was the reason he had a strong flame but low control over it because even for assimilating the flame he had taken his father's help.

"Now that the matter is over, I need to handle other important work, let's go," Rex said then flew out of the tower.

Lee Jae Rin who was looking at Rex with reverence suddenly came to his senses and shouted.

"Senior wait!" (Lee Jae Rin)

'I knew it, he wants the money back,' Rex increased his pace.

"Senior, junior's name is Lee Jae Rin. Senior please tell me your name," Lee Jae Rin shouted again.

'Oh, so that was it?' Rex turned around and threw an ID card at him.

Lee Jae Rin caught it and looked at him in confusion.

"Ask the rest from your branch head. There are no two Alchemist Ye Tian in the Golden Bird Continent," Rex said without turning back.

[There was never an Alchemist Ye Tian to begin with,]

Lee Jae Rin looked at Rex's fading back in excitement. Once he brings the news to the headquarters there was no doubt that he would be handsomely rewarded, compared to those rewards what does 1,000,000 high-grade spirit stones amount to? If Ye Tian really joined the Alchemist Association his status can only be second to the association head, having connections with such a figure in advance was more than enough.

'To think the land of Golden Bird Continent is really filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers as the rumors say, maybe the rumor of this continent once rivaling the Peaceful Heaven Continent was also not wrong. Master is master, after all, he could see things I never imagined, I should head back as fast as possible,' Lee Jae Rin thought then turned to the Great Grand Master who was sweating profusely.
