Chapter 71: Golden Pouch, Part 2

By speaking with an unnatural voice, lady Emily misunderstood him and thought he called himself master G, as in Alchemy Master G. After all, she heard about the mysterious potion, and it piqued her interest.

"So, Master G, I understand you have a potion for us?"

Gerald didn't mind her misunderstanding as it worked in his favor. He simply took out the Swiftness Potion and placed it on the table. "This is the potion in question. Take a look."

Emily Rosecloud examined the potion, but just like the receptionist, she couldn't recognize it. However, she didn't act arrogantly and instead spoke in a sweet voice, "I'm sorry, but I have never seen a potion like this before. I hope Master G can forgive my ignorance and expand my horizons."

'This girl surely knows how to speak, much better than that fool downstairs.' Gerald smirked in his heart. "Hehe, but of course Miss Rosecloud. It's not a problem at all. You see, this potion is my personal creation, a one-of-a-kind godly medicine. Never before seen miracle drink, capable of amazing feats."

Gerald went on a ramble, praising the potion to the high heavens, without actually saying anything about it.

"But, what does it do?" Emily asked after a while. Although she didn't believe all the praises Gerald spoke, it still elevated her expectations to a whole new level.

"I'm getting there, my dear, patience." Gerald cleared his throat, "Ahem! As I was saying, the name of this masterpiece is Swiftness Potion. It is a creation even the gods would envy! Just a single vial can recover your fatigue and give you inexhaustible energy for a while."

"No matter if you are running, climbing, swimming, or fighting, as long as you have a Swiftness Potion with you, you can operate at your maximum capacity! You won't get tired no matter how hard your work is! Now tell me, Miss Emily, don't you agree this is divine ambrosia for a warrior?" Gerald excitedly advertised his product.

"Eh" The first sound coming out of Emily's mouth was not exactly what Gerald was hoping for. "It's not that I don't believe you, Master G, but it's just that our claims are too fantastic. Are you saying that if a normal person drank this potion, they could sprint at their top speed for the entire duration of the potion?" Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Yes!"

"And they could fight without getting tired as well?" She squinted her eyes as she asked. The claims seemed to be way too good to be true.

"Absolutely!"

"Hmm And how long does this potion of yours last?"

By now, Gerald returned to his previous serious state, "Miss Emily, I can sense that you don't believe my words at all. But that is fine as I have expected this. That's why I'm prepared to gift you this potion as an expression of my sincerity. You can perform tests and then decide if what I'm telling is the truth or not." He pushed the potion towards her. At the same time, he also made it look like he was being wronged and taken advantage of.

Miss Emily lifted her eyebrow, "Really?"

By now the maid brought the steaming hot tea in fancy cups and placed it down on the table. She then quietly stepped to the side, waiting for new orders.

Gerald ignored the tea and helplessly lifted his hands, stating, "I don't have a choice, do I? For the sake of our cooperation, I'm willing to make this difficult sacrifice."

After a few moments of silence, Emily came to a decision, "Okay, I accept your gift. Then let's say that what you are saying is true How many potions do you have to sell? And how much do you want for them?"

By now Gerald already stood up and was at the door. "Oh, by the way, I'll be coming back tomorrow morning. I hope you will have my stuff by then. Take care." With these words, he left the room.

"This bastard!" Emily grabbed her teacup and threw it at the wall, only then did her anger somewhat subside.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong my little sister?" a young man came into the room, smiling.

"Oh, Arthur!" Emily sighed, "You heard our conversation, right?"

Arthur laughed and sat down opposite Emily and drank the tea that was supposed to be for Gerald. "Every word. This guy is really interesting!"

"He broke into my Space Pouch! And I even set an extra barrier before handing it to him. He broke through it in seconds!"

"Oh?" Arthur made a surprised expression, but then his smile became even bigger. "Interesting, really interesting. Don't worry, I already sent someone to follow him, we will know who he really is before nightfall."

Emily sighed, "He was so annoying! Here, do you think what he said was true?" She handed him the papers and the potion.

Arthur ignored the potion and looked at the papers first. Finally, his eternal smile completely disappeared.

"What's wrong?"

"These herbs I don't recognize all of them, but those that I do, well They are all deadly poisons!" Arthur exclaimed.

"What?!"

"I mean The names of some of them are not familiar to me, but luckily he left a drawing of the plants so I can recognize some of them By the gods, what is he trying to do?"

Emily took the papers from his hands and scanned through them. "Dragonroot? Don't know that one Ironstem? No God's Blood? Sounds familiar, what is it?"

"Hmm, remember that famous herb that was supposed to enhance the Mana of a person? It was used to be called God's Blood. But after many failed experiments and deaths it was renamed to God's Joke." Arthur explained with fervor in his eyes.

"Oh, that one! You don't think that guythat Master G, is trying to create a Mana Elixir, do you?" Emily asked with uncertainty. "Many genius alchemists already gave up on it, haven't they? It was considered impossible to make."

Arthur grabbed the potion on the table and stood up, "I think we will get a better understanding after we test this thing, won't we? Who knows? Maybe he wasn't just speaking nonsense."

"Now I'm really curious... Let's try to prepare the herbs for him, just in case," he then added.
