From Alchemy Apprentice to All-Powerful God King

"Holy crap, they've started fighting!"

Luca and Noah, standing in the stands, witnessed the entire event, until the magic below exploded like fireworks.

They then realized that things were getting out of control.

"Is your older brother alright?" Noah looked at the chaotic battle below and couldn't help but worry.

"It's alright, he can't afford to be the one who suffers a loss." Luca looked relieved, showing no concern for the chaos below.

A moment later, Matthew's voice came from behind them.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!"

Looking back, they found Matthew had appeared behind them at some point.

Luca was already used to his unpredictable appearances, while Noah, standing to the side, looked shocked and then turned to look at the chaotic battle below.

I originally thought he would hide and reappear after the storm had passed, but I didn't expect him to not even hide and just run out.

"How...did you get out?"

Faced with Noah's shock, Matthew remained calm, pointing to a deserted path beside him: "We came out by walking."

Behind the gambling den, there is a small path leading directly outside, and no one is blocking it.

He went out from there, walked around outside, and then came back in.

"Well, I'll come find you another day, and we can continue our chat!"

Luca was then helped up by Matthew, and after saying goodbye to Noah, he quickly left the alchemy arena.

This is not a safe place to stay. If things continue to get chaotic, the knight squad will be here soon.

The two did not stop on the way and returned to the inn as quickly as possible.

After confirming that no one was following them, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, you've gone too far this time. I'm afraid people will recognize you when you walk down the street from now on."

Luca was truly impressed at this moment. Even if he had the ability to do it, he wouldn't dare to.

Making enemies of thousands of ability users, even if it's just some insignificant minor conflicts, means being constantly on their minds and will likely keep him up at night.

"What's there to be afraid of? If you want to improve your strength, how can you do it without some special methods?"

As Matthew spoke, he poured out the gold coins he had earned in the ring.

The gold coins kept tilting out of the Ring, and it took a full two minutes to get them all out.

"Eighteen hundred! Add to the four or five hundred I have here, that makes over two thousand. Brother, you're truly amazing!"

Luca's admiration grew even stronger.

Just half a day ago, they were poor young men with only two or three hundred gold coins in their pockets.

Although we are not particularly rich now, our wealth has increased almost tenfold.

But after thinking for a moment, Matthew instructed Luca:

"Later, take the gold coins and exchange them for a thousand gold coins worth of magic crystals. Then go to the Moore Merchant Guild; they shouldn't dare to cheat us anymore. With the rest, buy some disposable magic insects for self-defense."

Luca nodded. It was true that you needed to act quickly when selling stolen goods, otherwise it would be easy for someone to find out if you were too late.

To put it bluntly, their wealth is ill-gotten gains, and it would be most worthwhile to spend it on themselves.

But then she looked at Matthew with some doubt, "I'm going alone? What about you?"

Matthew took out the knight's token that Elena had given him earlier and placed it on the table.

"Wait for someone to come find me."

Seeing the somewhat serious expression on Matthew's face, Luca realized that something might happen soon, so he obediently took the gold coins and headed to the Mole Merchant Guild.

Not long after he left, Matthew stood up and went to the window, looking at the alchemy arena in the distance, which had gradually calmed down, while keeping track of the time in his hand.

"We should be there soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, there was a knock on the door.

Matthew didn't turn around or open the door; he simply said something under his breath.

"Enter."

The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a slightly plump middle-aged man stood outside with three second-tier ability users.

"Matthew, is it? You really think you can get away with running away and our gambling den won't find you?"

The middle-aged man spoke with a standard local accent.

He then walked into the room and, seeing Matthew who didn't even turn his head, his face immediately darkened.

"So arrogant? Let's see if you can keep it up later!"

Just as the middle-aged man waved his hand, intending to have the ability user behind him teach Matthew a lesson, the latter spoke up.

"I said, only you are allowed in this room!"

Matthew's voice was magical, instantly filling the ears of the four people, causing them to experience ringing in their ears. The three behind him had a sudden change in expression, feeling the burning sparks next to their eardrums and the stinging cold.

The middle-aged man was also intimidated by Matthew's move, but then he thought, "They're the local bullies, what are they afraid of!"

"Tch, all that pretense, give me..."

But when his gaze fell on the token on the table, his voice stopped abruptly, and he then changed his words and shouted:

"Get out of here! Didn't you three hear what the adults said?!"

The three men behind him, who had initially looked fierce, were dumbfounded. How could their boss suddenly change his tune and contradict himself like that?

However, they obediently left the inn and waited outside.

The middle-aged man entered the room very respectfully and then closed the door.

"Sir, you've misunderstood. We didn't know you were sent by the Knights, otherwise we would never have bothered you."

Russell changed his attitude and looked at the gold-rimmed knight's token on the table with a fawning expression.

This is a token that only the Knights' Guild headquarters in the Empire can possess. He couldn't have imagined that the people who disrupted his event today were actually from the Knights' Guild.

"I did it on purpose, so that I wouldn't be noticed when I met you."

"what?"

Matthew's words left Russell somewhat puzzled.

Although he was a local bigwig in Moor City, it shouldn't have gotten him to the attention of the Imperial Knights.

However, since such an opportunity had come to his door, he was determined to seize it.

"Sir, please tell us what you can do, and we will certainly do our utmost!"

Matthew listened to Russell's voice and attitude behind him, and the tension in his heart slowly eased.

He was actually gambling, betting that the other party would recognize the token and pretend that he was someone from above.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to let Luca leave first. The main reason was that they were afraid that if they hadn't managed to fool him, it would be difficult for him to escape if a fight broke out.

Now that the connection is established, he can proceed to the second step.

"I came here mainly to investigate the site, but there's someone crucial I need to find."

"Hart! Is Hart the person you're looking for, sir?"

Before Matthew could finish speaking, Russell interrupted and answered first.

As a local bigwig in Moore City, how could he not know the homeless man who spread the news everywhere?

He immediately guessed what Matthew meant.

"My lord, rest assured, once I return, I will do everything in my power to search and find him for you!"

Matthew glanced back at Russell, who seemed unusually shrewd, with some surprise.

Some people are just born with the ability to read between the lines and know exactly what their superiors want.

However, we still need to remind them not to make too much of a commotion and to investigate quietly, since the identity of his token has not yet been realized.

"Actually, there's no need to rush. We need to investigate slowly, thoroughly, and carefully."
