The most shameless alchemist in history

After all, as spectators invited to Golden City, especially in the fifth round of competition just now, both Du Lei and Jin are prominent figures. It's perfectly normal to know them; it would be strange not to.

"Ignore them, let's go." Dure waved his hand, indicating that Ellie could ignore Jin's presence, and swaggered away.

"Hey kid, are you blind? Can't you see our young master is here? You stop right there!" Jin's henchman waved his hand to stop Du Lei and shouted.

"I didn't see any young master you mentioned, but there was a stray dog ​​blocking the road," Du Lei stopped and replied coldly.

"What stray dog? There aren't any dogs here... Kid, who are you calling a 'stray dog'?" The henchman was initially puzzled, but quickly realized that Du Lei was insulting him, which made him furious. He pointed at Du Lei's nose and questioned him relentlessly.

"I didn't name anyone specifically. Whoever feels targeted is the one who is being targeted," Du Lei said slowly and deliberately.

"You...you're going too far. We brought you here to give you a big gift. Can't we talk this out?" Although his confidant was trembling with anger, he still managed to hold back. Just as he said, he had something to discuss with Du Lei, otherwise he wouldn't be here swallowing his anger.

"You guys are going to give me gifts? You're really that kind? I don't believe it." Du Lei scrutinized the two men from head to toe.

Ever since they met, their rivalry has never stopped. He believed that Jin wanted to kill him, and he was completely convinced of it.

He absolutely refused to believe that Jin was going to give him a gift; it was simply impossible!

"You should know that you have no chance of winning in the final fifth round," Kim said slowly.

"Oh, so you finally said something? Since I have no chance of winning, why did you come looking for me?" Du Lei retorted to Jin.

He made a sarcastic remark about Jin Yitong, a man who was always sparing with his words and rarely spoke; most of the time, his confidants would speak for him.

"Kid, stop trying to make yourself look good. Do you think you know your own background and where you came from? With your skills, you think you can climb the social ladder? You're dreaming!" The confidant ridiculed Du Lei again, if only he hadn't remembered Jin's instructions.

He probably spat right in the face of this ignorant, arrogant kid from the backwaters.

"It would be a waste of your precious time for someone like me to talk to you two, so I'll take my leave now."

Dure waved his hand, making a move to leave; he didn't want to stay here and waste time with this master and servant pair.

“Your chances of winning are very small, negligible, and your companions are not safe either. So for your own sake and for the sake of your companions, why don’t you think more about yourself?” Jin asked again, much more composed than his confidants.

"What, are you threatening me?" Du Lei stopped in his tracks and said calmly.

“I’m not threatening you. I know you’ve met my brother, that guy Leon. First of all, I’m sorry for what happened to your companion. It was my men who acted incompetently and on their own initiative. I’ve already punished them. Secondly, the promise my brother made to you is also valid with me. What he can give you, I can give you, and even double it.” Jin said a lot for the first time.

He spoke each word very clearly to make sure that Durex heard every single character.

"So? What exactly are you trying to say?" Du Lei asked with great interest.

“If you insist on going against me and persist in the fifth round, you will most likely lose, and you will lose everything. I will join forces with your enemies to deal with you. Do you think Leon will still have the strength to fight me after I win? So you are in danger, and your companions are in danger too.” This time, King explained the predicament that Durei was facing in more detail.

"What if I don't oppose you? What will happen then?" Dure nodded, signaling Jin to continue.

Ellie gently tugged at his sleeve, but he waved his hand, indicating that Ellie shouldn't worry.

"If you don't oppose me, I will give you a fortune beyond your imagination. With this fortune, you can leave Lan City and the Mountain Kingdom and live a wealthy life in any country on the continent. If you have any trouble in the future, you can tell me and I will help you take care of it."

Kim continued to throw out bait, and what he offered was indeed very tempting.

"That sounds pretty good, so what do you want me to do?" Dure asked with a smile.

“Mr. Redu, you…” This time, Ellie couldn’t hold back anymore; she did more than just tug at his clothes.

“It’s alright, let’s just listen to what Mr. Jin has to say. We’re just killing time anyway.” Du Lei was getting more and more interested.

“I want you to quit right now, quit completely,” Jin demanded.

"Is that all?"

"Kid, this is an opportunity our young master is giving you, a big gift. Cherish it. Quit obediently, and there won't be any problems. You'll never have to worry for the rest of your life. This is something many people envy. But if you insist on stubbornly charging forward..."

The confidant stopped there, his words clearly carrying a threat.

"I hope you're a smart person and will make a smart choice," Jin said meaningfully.

“But Mr. Jin, you’re breaking the rules, you know that?” Ellie was getting anxious when she saw Dure’s ambiguous attitude.

m.

567 is very courageous.

Ellie didn't like Kim, which was evident from her words and actions. It wasn't because she had any strong prejudice; in fact, she was kind to everyone. But Kim's behavior made her very uncomfortable.

"Hey, who are you? How dare you speak to our young master in such a tone? Do you even have the right to speak here?" Jin's confidant was displeased. Du Lei had just been very defiant towards him, but since they needed Du Lei's help, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

But now, an unknown guy next to Du Lei has also stepped forward and collapsed. How can he swallow this insult?

"Wait, you're saying I broke the rules? What rules did I break?" Jin waved his hand, signaling his confidant to step aside.

He took a step forward and walked up to Ellie with an aggressive air, coldly asking her the question.

“You don’t need to pay attention to him, let’s go.” Dure pulled Ellie back. He himself was indifferent. If Jin wanted to fight him, he would fight to the end.

But Ellie is different. He knows about King's power. If Ellie gets King's attention, then the latter will be in big trouble.

“The rule is that you and Mr. Redu have both entered the final stage of the fifth round. You should compete fairly and justly. But now you are asking Mr. Redu to withdraw. Isn’t that a violation of the rules?” Although Ellie always respected Redu’s opinion.

But at this moment, she could no longer bear it. Ignoring Du Lei's obstruction, she faced Jin face to face and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Fair and just competition? Aren't we? I was just giving him advice as a friend, I didn't threaten him. Whether he does it or not is his own business." Jin asked coldly, glancing disdainfully at Ellie.

“Mr. Jin, you are just making excuses. I heard everything you said. You threatened Mr. Redu’s companion’s safety and offered him huge benefits. This is very immoral. Doesn’t this affect your character as a nobleman?”

Ellie faced Kim with neither servility nor arrogance, and even seemed to have the upper hand, despite being much shorter than Kim.

"Who do you think you are, daring to judge our young master? I think you want to die!" Jin's confidant was furious. He had followed Jin for so long, and had never seen anyone dare to question Jin's moral character. As for other people's private doubts, that was their business and he couldn't control them.

But there has never been a direct challenge, because no one would do something so incredibly foolish.

“He’s my friend. If he said something wrong, please forgive him. If you have any opinions or complaints about him, I will take responsibility.” Du Lei originally wanted to persuade Ellie to back down and not argue with Jin, because such a thing was completely pointless.

But now that the conflict between Ellie and Kim has already taken place, he can no longer play games and has decided to be direct.

"Kid, don't think too highly of yourself. You think you can take all the blame? Who do you think you are to take all the blame? Our young master is only being kind-hearted and not bothering with you. He even came to you as a gift. Do you really think we care about you?"

Dure's confidant wasn't buying it. He stepped forward and became aggressive, though he did so at Jin's behest.

If that weren't the case, Jin would have stopped him long ago. Clearly, for Jin, those words that were beneath his dignity needed someone to speak on his behalf.

"So, at this point, we have nothing more to say. We have to go. Let's see who has the last laugh." Du Lei never intended to compromise with Jin from the beginning, and now that things have come to a head, he feels a great sense of relief.

“Kid, you’re very brave, but you need to know one thing: brave people usually die young,” Jin said coldly.

Normally, such words would be spoken by his confidants, not by him, because it would be beneath his dignity.

But his indignation had reached its peak; he loathed the man in front of him and wished he could tear him to pieces.

“Coincidentally, when I was a child, people told me that I would live to be a hundred years old, so who do you think I should believe?” Du Lei replied.

"You don't need to believe anyone anymore, just wait and see how you die!" the confidant shouted in a fit of rage.

At this point, Jin lost his patience and turned to leave. His confidant quickly followed, and the two soon disappeared.

After they left in a hurry, Dure and Eli remained where they were, with a gentle evening breeze blowing.

"That was close, Ellie. You shouldn't have provoked that guy Kim. It was dangerous for you." While Dure was talking to Kim, he didn't back down an inch, but after Kim's figure completely disappeared, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and was really relieved.

"Danger? How is it dangerous?" Ellie asked, puzzled.

“A few days ago, I was just attending a matchmaking event and didn’t pose any threat to him. In order to suppress his competitors, he attacked me and my companion twice. If we hadn’t been lucky, he probably would have killed us,” Du Lei said solemnly.

"What? How could this be so outrageous..." Ellie was somewhat surprised, not expecting such a thing to happen.

“I think many people were suppressed by him at this matchmaking event. I was just one of the lucky ones. I met him, didn’t back down, and made it here step by step. But what about those who were unlucky? And those who were equally unwilling to back down? Where did they go?” Du Lei asked rhetorically.

“Mr. Redu, do you mean that those people were all given to him by King…” Ellie thought of a conjecture.

“Although I don’t have any evidence, I think the truth will be pretty much what I’m saying once I do a little investigation. Jin is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Once the matchmaking event here is over, leave Lan City immediately and don’t stay here for too long,” Du Lei instructed.

“But Mr. Redu, why should I leave? I don’t understand.” Ellie tilted her head, looking completely bewildered.

“Don’t you understand? Jin will try to harm you, but once you leave Lan City, it won’t be easy for him to deal with you again. Besides, during this time, he will definitely be clashing with other people and may forget about you. In that case, you will be safe.” Du Lei sighed and said.

"I see? But as long as Mr. Redu is here, everything will be fine, right? Mr. Redu, you'll protect me, won't you?"

Ellie smiled and winked, seemingly not taking Kim seriously.

568. How confident are you?

When Jin left the city wall, his face was almost green with anger. Since his birth, hadn't everything he did gone smoothly? One reason was his own talent; he was young, handsome, and his talent was also considerable, having received higher education from a young age.

Another reason is that he has his father, Pharos, as a figurehead. When he goes out to do business, even if others don't give him, this young upstart, face, they still have to consider his father's feelings. So his business goes smoothly, and everyone he meets flatters him.

However, at this matchmaking event, he was actually doing very well at the beginning. He suppressed all his competitors or made them work for him through various means. In order to win in the end, he spent a lot of money and went all out!

But now, in the final stage of the fifth round, he has encountered a series of setbacks. He originally thought that he should be able to secure all ten spots in the fifth round, but he did not expect to only get four spots, with more than half of the spots still in the hands of others.

Jin was very unhappy that things weren't going according to plan. Luckily, this was the Golden Castle, not his own home, or he would have torn it down. Who had ever dared to let him experience defeat since he was a child?

“One by one, one by one, it’s one thing for an ordinary poor kid to talk back to me, but I didn’t expect another greenhorn to talk back to me too. Do you all not take me seriously at all?” Jin maintained a certain degree of restraint in front of Du Lei.

But not long after they parted, he became furious and started yelling, a stark contrast to his usual debonair demeanor.

"Young Master, please calm down. It's not worth arguing with someone like that. Calm down, calm down," his trusted aide comforted him.

"Get over it? Didn't you see their faces? They were baring their teeth and claws in front of me, how am I supposed to get over it?" Jin roared angrily. It was clear that his anger had been burning inside him when he was face to face with Du Lei, but it hadn't exploded yet.

Because if an incident were to erupt there and Du Lei were to be severely punished, he would be forced out of the game. After all, this is Ababa's territory, and with the competition still ongoing and everything still unresolved, it would be risky to lay a knife to Du Lei.

That would be a slap in the face to Ababa, and it would be strange if Ababa could tolerate him staying any longer.

"Young Master, don't worry, they will pay the price for their actions. I've made all the arrangements. Once everything is over and we leave the Golden Castle, that arrogant brat will be taken care of. Rest assured, the people I've found this time are absolutely reliable!" The confidant patted his chest to assure him.

There's a reason he became Kim's confidant and gained Kim's favor; he always managed to solve Kim's problems and get things done.

"And that guy next to that kid, what kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to interfere in my business? He even said I broke the rules. Aren't rules made by people? What's wrong with me making the rules? I am the rules, and he's just an ant that can be crushed at will!" Jin gritted his teeth.

Beneath his impeccably dressed mask lies an extremely ruthless heart, one that will not tolerate anyone provoking him.

"Understood, young master. They will all kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, then go to hell in despair, absolutely!" The confidant assured him confidently. He had already messed up one thing before, and he would never mess it up a second time. He had to fight for his job!

At the same time, Dure had already separated from Ellie and returned to the hall, where they had been waiting for an hour and a half.

"Hey, what's going on? Why haven't we got the results yet? We've been waiting for so long, we're almost losing our patience."

"You're not even a contestant, so why are you so impatient? Just wait patiently, the results will be out soon."

“While the Golden Castle is indeed magnificent and eye-opening, what’s the point of trapping us here? I have a lot of things to do today,” someone protested hastily. After all, they hadn’t been invited to the Golden Castle with their prior permission.
