The most shameless alchemist in history

“The Demon Hunters did indeed attack that boy last night; I saw it with my own eyes,” Haibo confirmed first.

"What? You saw it with your own eyes? If you saw it with your own eyes, how could he be unharmed? Is the Demon Hunter Squad of the Magic Power Association just a name without substance?" Jett asked, somewhat surprised. He had long heard of the Demon Hunter Squad's reputation, and if it were the Demon Hunter Squad, that kid would surely be dead beyond recognition.

“The Demon Hunters are certainly not just famous for nothing. The reason he’s still alive and well is because I underestimated him,” Haibo said softly.

"Underestimate him? Haiber, what do you mean by that?" Jett frowned.

In his memory, Haibo rarely gave a person a high evaluation. In fact, Haibo had already given that kid a very high evaluation before. He had never heard Haibo give anyone such a high evaluation before. But even after reaching this level, Haibo still said it was low.

"I originally thought that the boy could only reach the Dou-rank level at most in a short period of time, but judging from the battle last night, he was able to subdue all the members of the Demon Hunter team in an instant. Even I would probably find it difficult to do that." Haibo sighed softly.

His eyes held a complex and somewhat melancholic expression.

"What? Haibo, are you kidding me? You're a King-level, a King-level magic user, already considered a top-tier expert on the continent. You couldn't do it, how could that kid do it?" Jet's eyes widened; this was too unbelievable for him.

"Before meeting that boy, I really didn't think anyone could do that, but I witnessed it with my own eyes, and there's no mistake about it."

Haibo was a very knowledgeable person, but even with his experience, this was an unprecedented situation.

"Then, is the Magic Power Association just going to sit idly by and let this forbidden thing exist with impunity?" Jett asked, stunned.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Magic Power Association is one of the most powerful forces on the continent. They would never allow such a taboo to exist. Even if he can unleash the power of a King-level expert in an instant, it's still nothing to the Magic Power Association," Haiber reassured Jet.

"What will the association do? Will they send someone else?" Jet was very concerned about this question.

"Yes, just look forward to it. They will soon send even more powerful experts. As long as that boy doesn't escape, he will surely face annihilation. The Magic Power Association will never allow taboos to run rampant in this world!" Haibo said confidently.

"Alright, Haibo, I believe you. You have to keep an eye on that guy for me and don't let him escape. No, I'll go and guard him myself tomorrow. I don't believe he can continue to be so arrogant!" Jet said angrily. He wasn't going to swallow his anger.

He vowed not to rest until he dealt with that wretched brat!

666 Your head is not right.

Over the next week, besides taking care of his business and meeting with the people he needed to see as usual, Jet also kept a close eye on the guy named Dure, fearing that the guy might run away in fear of the Magic Power Association sending even more powerful experts.

It's strange, though. Normal people would run away as soon as they realize they're being targeted. After all, the Magic Power Association is no small matter. It's a huge organization recognized by all the major powers on the continent, and its strength even surpasses that of many powerful nations. It's a behemoth on the continent.

Let alone a King-level magic user, even if they were a level higher, the Magic User Association could easily take them down. Jet believed that if it were him, he would never do something so foolish as to wait for someone to come and arrest him. It would be better to slip away as soon as possible, otherwise staying would only bring trouble.

But whether the kid had lost his mind or for some other reason, he stubbornly stayed at Maple Leaf Academy. This puzzled Jet, but he was also secretly pleased that the kid hadn't run away. Otherwise, it would be bad if a more powerful expert came to catch him and they couldn't find him.

"Hehehehe, I've finished up today's business. I heard the second wave of people sent by the Magic Power Association has arrived and they're heading towards Maple Leaf Academy now. I'm going to see how that kid dies." After finishing his work, Jet arrived at Maple Leaf Academy early.

The Magic Power Association failed to take down Dure last time, which left him feeling sullen for quite some time. However, he believed that the guy wouldn't be so lucky this time, so he came over to be a witness and see with his own eyes how the Magic Power Association would kill that kid.

“Your Highness, look over there. That boy is over there. He’s going to the library. This is his usual route. He’s been doing this for the past two weeks. I’ve been watching him every day!” Adams pointed to a spot not far ahead. Jett looked in the direction he was pointing and, sure enough, saw Dure walking over.

It was dusk, and there were many students coming and going in the academy, but Jet still recognized him immediately in the crowd.

"Well, buddy, you're pretty laid-back, going to the library every day. I think I'll go and say a few parting words to him." After clearing his throat, Jet walked forward and blocked Dure's path. He had clearly seen the change in the guy's expression.

"Hey kid, do you remember who I am?" Jet arrogantly blocked Dure's path and said loudly.

"I'm very sorry, I don't remember who you are. You're blocking my way." Du Lei shook his head, giving a negative answer.

"I knew you would still remember me. After all, someone as dazzling as me would definitely be firmly etched in your memory... Wait, what did you say? You don't remember me? Hey, are you kidding me? Open your eyes wide and look carefully. You don't remember who I am?"

Jet had originally prepared a very impressive opening speech. He had been thinking about what he should say when the kid was dying so that it would be more impressive, more powerful, and, most importantly, more satisfying to vent his anger!

But this time, finally, someone stood in front of him, and he shut him up with a single sentence, which almost made Jet vomit blood.

“We seem to have met somewhere before,” Dure thought for a moment and gave a somewhat uncertain answer.

“Remember now? Let me remind you, we have a history.” Jet was unwilling to accept that his presence was so insignificant, so he immediately reminded Dure. He spoke and gestured, after all, he was a prince of the Rain Kingdom and the third in line to the throne.

He's really losing face by being ignored like this.

“Oh right, I remember now, you’re White, the pig butcher, right?” Dure pointed at Jet, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"What pig slaughterer? Your family is the pig slaughterer! I am Jet, Jet from the Land of Rain!" Jet almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had no patience to beat around the bush with this guy, so he pointed to himself and loudly said his name.

“Alright, Your Highness Jet, what brings you here?” Dure asked calmly, showing no surprise.

"Huh? Your reaction is wrong. Shouldn't you have gone 'Wow!' right? This is too calm. Or... wait, you recognized me just now, you're playing me!" Jet became more and more suspicious and immediately shouted at him.

“Your Highness Jet, if you have nothing else to say, I have other matters to attend to and I think I must go.” Dure didn’t have much time to deal with Jet. To begin with, he and Jet didn’t have much of a relationship, and in fact, they had a lot of grudges against each other.

"Wait, don't go, kid. Do you know you're in deep trouble?" Before coming here, Jet had imagined many scenarios in his mind.

For example, that kid cried and begged me to show him the way, or that kid was stubborn and shouted loudly, and then got killed by the Magic Power Association.

Of all the scenes, none were as calm as the one before him, which immediately dampened Jeter's desire to perform.

"Imminent disaster? I don't understand what Your Highness Jet is talking about." Dure stopped and asked softly.

"What if you beg me? If you beg me, I'll tell you what terrible trouble you're in, and maybe I can even help you." Jet said smugly, thinking that Dure was doomed today and he wanted to make a fool of the guy.

“If you have nothing else to do, I’ll take my leave. By the way, I have a suggestion for you in good faith: you should actually see a doctor. I’m afraid something’s not quite right here.” Dure pointed to his head and gave Jett a sympathetic look.

"Hey, what do you mean? You're the one who's out of your mind! Kid, don't go! Let me tell you the truth, the Magic Power Association is here. Look, they're over there. They've come prepared this time and they're definitely going to kill you. You have no chance of escaping!"

As Jet watched Dure walk away, he shouted at Dure's retreating figure.

Adams, who was not far away, also gave him a wink, and Jet noticed that a group of people were walking towards Dure on the other side.

These people were all wearing sky-blue uniforms with the distinctive emblem of the Magic Power Association.

"People from the Magic Power Association...?" Du Lei stopped and looked back.

"That's right, it's the Magic Power Association. Kid, it's no use begging for mercy now. You're going to die here, never to be redeemed!"

Jet desperately wanted to see a look of fear on the guy's face.

Unfortunately, he still didn't see it.

667 Old Friends Reunited

Jet thought he had made the right decision to come, because he saw with his own eyes the people from the Magic Power Association arrive and walk towards the kid. It was clear they were going to make a move on him, which made Jet very happy.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, you're from the Magic Power Association, right?" Jett took the initiative to greet the group of people in uniform. Firstly, the Magic Power Association held a superior position and was an object that all countries wanted to win over. Secondly, people were in high spirits when they had a good time, and Jett also wanted to see the kid being taken down and begged for mercy by the Magic Power Association. He would never miss witnessing this.

“Yes, we are from the Magic Power Association. May I ask who you are…” The leader was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old. He was not tall and had a baby face. He originally wanted to talk to Dure, but with the appearance of Jet, he shifted his attention to Jet.

"I'm the one who filed the report. I'm reporting to your Magic Power Association that a lawbreaker has violated the taboos of magic power. It's him, that's right, the guy with the wicked look. You've already sent people to arrest him once before, right? But this kid openly resisted arrest. Now that you've come in person, you absolutely can't let him go. With both charges against him, we can't let him get away with it!" Jet didn't reveal his identity as the third in line to the throne of the Rain Kingdom, but instead identified himself as a whistleblower.

"The person who filed the report? No wonder the Magic Power Association has been giving me trouble lately. So it was all Your Highness Jett's doing." Dure turned to look at Jett, still unhurried.

"Well, kid, you dared to do it yourself, but you're not allowed to report it? By the way, brother, what's your name?" Jet was beaming with pride, his face flushed. He turned to ask the people from the Magic Power Association next to him.

"My name is Grenier," the uniformed leader introduced himself, stating his name.

“Grenier brothers, right? This kid is guilty of heinous crimes and is utterly wicked. You must punish him properly.”

Jeter shook hands with Grenier warmly, believing that Durree's misfortune was a foregone conclusion.

“Um… are you the one who reported the crime?” Grenier asked him.

“That’s right, it’s me. Reporting those who engage in illegal activities is the duty of an ordinary mainland resident,” Jett said seriously.

“Then please come with us. You are suspected of filing a false police report and disturbing public order. We have to arrest you.” The man named Grenier waved his hand, and the other uniformed men behind him surrounded him, intending to take Jett down.

At this moment, Adams, who was not far away, saw that things were not going well and immediately led his men to surround the area.

"Wait, wait a minute, Brother Grenier, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by filing a false report? This is the real case."

Jet was stunned; he had never expected things to turn out this way.

“Mr. Dure once assisted our Magic Power Association in handling an emergency. He is one of our members. So, if you report him for arrest, what else is that but filing a false report?” Grenier turned to look at Jet and said seriously.

"You're from the Magic Power Association? But he did break a taboo. Even if you're from the Magic Power Association, you can't cover it up or bend the law for personal gain!" Jet hadn't expected that Dure had this kind of relationship with the Magic Power Association.

But he remained defiant, after all, Haibo had confirmed that the kid was problematic.

“A taboo? Grenier, he says I’ve broken a taboo, so you might as well arrest me.” Dure raised his hands, signaling Grenier to handcuff him, but despite this gesture, he remained calm and unhurried.

"Du Lei, what are you talking about? If it weren't for your help last time, we would have been in big trouble. Why would I arrest you?"

Grenier waved his hand. He and Dure were old acquaintances; they had been through an incident together before.

"Your Magic Power Association must uphold the law impartially, or I will sue you!"

Jet was getting restless. He loudly threatened the group, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Your name is Jet, right? Your Highness Jet of the Rain Kingdom?" Grenier turned to Jet and asked.

Clearly, he came prepared this time, having done his homework and knowing Jett's background.

“That’s right, I am Jet, the third in line to the throne of the Rain Kingdom.” Jet said, head held high and chest puffed out.

He had been identifying himself as a "mainland resident" until now, but he felt there was no need to hide his identity anymore.

“I understand your desire to report this for the sake of justice, but the taboo that Dure broke... was done for the sake of our association. Our Magic Power Association has always known about this, and it has been kept strictly confidential. If you were an ordinary person, we probably wouldn't have…”

Grenier paused here, his words carrying a threatening tone, especially his sharp eyes, which made Jet somewhat fearful.

"However, you are not an ordinary person, but a prince of the Rain Kingdom, so this matter ends here. We hope you will keep this matter a secret and absolutely not let it leak out, otherwise... we will take drastic measures."

Grenier stared into Jet's eyes and said coldly.

“This…this…” Jett was a little stunned; this was simply too unbelievable.

"Do you have any further questions?" Grenier asked, emphasizing his words.

“No…that’s all.” Jett was still very unconvinced.

But he also realized that this guy named Grenier was completely on Dure's side.

"So please take yourself and your people and leave here. I finally ran into an old acquaintance, and I have to go have a drink with him. Dure, you have to give me face today no matter what. Let's go."

Grenier patted Dure on the shoulder and left with him.

Jet watched their departing figures from afar, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Something's not right. What's going on? Isn't the Magic Power Association supposed to be the most impartial? How come that guy broke the taboo, yet the Magic Power Association is protecting him?" Jett was full of questions.

At that moment, someone slowly walked towards him.

"Your Highness Jet, let's go back." It was the old butler, Haibo, who came over.
