Ethan Smith looked puzzled at the three people in front of him, feeling like he had not met them before.

The trio quickly explained, “We saw the whole process of you refining pills just now! You are truly amazing!”

“Yeah, and you even received an invitation from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

We really admire you!”

Upon hearing what they had to say, Ethan Smith finally understood.

Chaim Tate’s face was rigid and extremely embarrassed.

How could Ethan Smith have received an invitation from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion? It was baffling.

“Please, the three of you teach this brat a lesson!” Chaim Tate said again.

The trio glanced at Chaim Tate and said coldly, “Chaim Tate, are we that close to you?”

“Exactly. Say another word, and we’ll take care of you first!”

“How could Mr. Smith be insulted by the likes of you?”

The trio knew very well that an alchemist from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion was far more valuable than Chaim Tate, a common Medicine King.

Mr. Smith, we apologize for the disturbance. If you need any help, please feel free to ask,” the three said respectfully.

After leaving those words, the trio left together.

Ethan Smith sneered at Chaim Tate.

“Master Chaim, it seems your connections aren’t that great either,” Ethan Smith sneered.

Chaim Tate’s face was unspeakably ugly. He clenched his teeth and said, ‘Ethan Smith, you’ve already taken the herbs. What more do you want!”

“Taken?” Ethan Smith snorted.

“Chaim Tate, I made it very clear to you that within three days, it would be delivered to my doorstep! Unfortunately, you’ve broken your promise.”

Having said that, Ethan Smith waved his hand and put all the herbs in Chaim Tate’s booth into his Spatial Magic Artifact.

Chaim Tate’s face turned livid, and he trembled with anger.

But he was helpless against Ethan Smith and could only suppress his anger.

After getting the herbs, Ethan Smith turned and left.

Watching Ethan Smith’s back, Chaim Tate’s teeth bit together in rage.

“Mr. Smith, this Herbs Convention yielded quite a harvest,” Edward Green said, quite smug.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Indeed, we have Chaim Tate to thank for that, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about this Herbs Convention.”

This could be called a blessing in disguise.

The Herbs Convention ended at twelve midnight.

Ethan Smith and Edward Green found a hotel to stay at for the time being.

“Mr. Smith, here’s a gift for you, ” Evelyn smiled.

Ethan took the bead, looking puzzled, “What is this?”

“Take a guess.” Evelyn’s beautiful eyes sparkled, teasingly speaking.

As Ethan examined the bead, he answered seriously, “If I’m not mistaken, this...should be a glass marble.”

“Pfft!”

Hearing his words, Evelyn couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Mr. Smith, do you think I visited you in the middle of the night just to give you a glass bead?” Evelyn asked, laughing.

Ethan was, of course, joking. He played with the bead and asked, “So what exactly is this?”

Only then did Evelyn speak seriously, “This is an inner core, from an undersea Demonic Beast.”

“Inner core?” Ethan was taken aback.

This was the first time he had heard of such a term. Evelyn nodded, “Yes, a Demonic Beast Core.”

Ethan frowned and asked, “Where did you get this?”

The topic seemed to evoke memories for Evelyn.

She gazed out the window and spoke slowly, “Ten years ago, I was stranded on a deserted island, where I stumbled upon it by chance.”

“There were two in total. I had already consumed one.”

Hearing that, Ethan couldn’t help but stroke the core and smile, “The charm that emanates from you originates from this core, right?”

“Exactly as you said, Mr. Smith,” Evelyn replied, covering her mouth to laugh.

Ethan rubbed his chin and asked, “This Demonic Beast Core should be quite valuable, right? Why would you give it to me?”

With a hint of bitterness, Evelyn responded, “I’m just a woman without a background. If I want to climb higher, I must rely on a man.”

“Before you, I considered Reginald Tucker, but now I’ve changed my mind.

You’re more suited than he is.”

Ethan raised an eyebrow, “Is this an investment? A partnership?”

“You can understand it that way,” Evelyn smiled.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly realized that he and Evelyn seemed somewhat similar.

Both were wholeheartedly striving to change their circumstances, yet had no background to rely on.

It was undoubtedly a difficult path to follow, and for a woman like Evelyn to arrive where she was today, she must have paid a great price.

“Miss Norton, I still don’t quite understand,” Ethan said.

“If that’s the case, why don’t you choose the scion of a Great Family?”

Evelyn raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Smith, even if I were to attach myself to a powerful family, do you think I would be valued? In their eyes, I might just be a disposable plaything.”

“Comparatively, investing in a stock with potential is the better choice — what if someday, you also become part of a Great Family?”
