Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"No, it should be children."

"How did you know?" Warwick asked in surprise.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door." Alex immediately went and opened the door.

The door opened, and there was indeed a cute little girl standing nervously outside.

"Oh, it's little Nina. Are you here to play with Nicholas?"

"Ah, no." Nina blushed slightly. "Actually, I have a job I want to ask the convenience store to do."

"Huh? Work?"

--------------

Nina is a very cute little girl, she looks so soft and cuddly. When she saw Isaac, she immediately shrank into the corner of the sofa.

"Don't look at me like that, I won't eat you."

"Um... I'm so sorry," Nina said, lowering her head shyly. "It's because it's our first time meeting..."

"Haha, Nina's still so shy," Warwick chuckled. "So, what kind of job are you talking about?"

Nina then recovered and took out two bottles of medicine, placing them on the table.

"This is what Dr. Theo asked me to bring to Mr. Nick. He also asked me if we were almost out of stock."

Nick is the little girl's nickname for Nicholas, and the two seem to have become quite familiar with each other.

“The medicine for Nicholas? Thanks a lot.” Warwick took the medicine from Nina. “It’s really Nicholas, he’s still not back at this hour.”

"Probably because he's busy with work," Nina said softly.

“No, they’re back.” Isaac suddenly spoke, then pointed outside the door.

Everyone turned their attention toward the door.

Sure enough, the door was opened with a key, and Nicholas walked in carrying a knife.

"Nick!" Nina was overjoyed to see the person who had arrived.

When Nicholas saw Nina, he pinched her nose expressionlessly and then took the medicine from Warwick's hand.

"Ugh... Nick is so mean," Nina said, covering her nose in dissatisfaction.

"Who is this little girl named Nina?" Isaac asked Alex in a low voice.

“Nina, she’s Dr. Theo’s nurse. Don’t let her young age fool you, she’s incredibly capable,” Alex said with a smile. “When I first met her, she thought I was Warwick’s guest.”

"You think I'm someone who wants to sleep with Warwick?"

"Don't tell anyone!!"

"Speaking of which, who is Dr. Theo? Is he famous?"

"He's quite famous, a very skilled doctor of this generation. He's cured many patients and charges very little."

Warwick looked at Nina and asked, "Dr. Theo asked you to bring the medicine, which means he wants to entrust us with some tasks, right?"

"Yes, about this matter..."

Nina gave everyone a brief explanation of what had happened.

……

"So that's how it is. Dr. Theo was being targeted. Could it be some strange organization?"

In a lawless area like Yıldırım, it's common for people to be targeted.

“If it were just a regular organization, the doctor would probably go to Officer Chad,” Nina whispered. “But this time, with Chad…”

“I see.” Warwick quickly understood. “It’s ‘the person with the sign’.”

"Ah."

The term "people wearing tags" generally refers to the Twilight race, because every Twilight race person wears a dog tag around their neck to identify themselves.

These dog tags are designed to distinguish ordinary people from the Twilight race.

Nicholas then began to use sign language.

Is he strong or not, that guy with the dog tag?

Everyone in the room except Isaac could understand his sign language.

Nina noticed his question and started communicating using sign language.

“Even the Cristiano family’s subordinates were completely unable to handle them,” Nina said. “They’re even saying they might be at least a B-level character.”

Because she was using sign language while speaking, Isaac understood this time.

"Kid, you just mentioned Cristiano, right?"

"Huh? Yes."

"Is this organization related to the Corsican family?"

"Well... I don't know," Nina said apologetically.

"What's wrong? Is Isaac interested in our work?" Warwick chuckled. "Don't try to steal our business."

“You make it sound like I care about your little bit of money.” Isaac looked at Warwick with disdain. “I have some things I want to investigate.”

"Do you think the guy threatening Dr. Theo was sent by the Corsican family?"

“My knowledge of Yerkastum’s power is limited to hearsay and not comprehensive, so there are some things that need to be investigated,” Isaac said. “Whether they were sent by the Corsican family or not can be determined by investigation.”

"So, are you going to help us?" Warwick asked. "Let's make this clear first, you won't get a single cent of our commission."

"I've already told you, I don't even care about your little bit of money."

Nicholas smiled as he looked at the two of them, and then used sign language to communicate with Nina.

Lunch is on you.

"Okay."

Nina smiled and agreed.

------------

Warwick and Alex remained at home, while Isaac and Nicholas led Nina toward Theo's small clinic.

"Your name is Nina, right?"

“Oh? Yes,” Nina said hastily. “Thank you for your help, Mr. Isaac.”

"It's just some investigation."

“But are you sure it’s okay?” Nina looked at Isaac with some concern. “This might involve a battle between the Twilight races. If an ordinary person like you gets involved…”

Snapped!

Nicholas patted her on the shoulder and used sign language in response to her puzzled look.

This person is very strong.

Better than me.

Chapter 552: Medicine is cheaper here

"Hey, is that the girl we're targeting?"

"seems like it."

In the dark alley, several men with guns peeked out and saw Nicholas and Isaac carrying knives, and Nina walking between them.

"Should we arrest her now?"

"The only time to make a move is now, but what about the kid next to her and the one who got it? Should we get rid of them?"

"That's the only way. Let's report to our superiors first..."

He suddenly couldn't continue speaking.

"What's wrong with you?" His companions noticed that his face looked terrible and his eyes were starting to roll back.

He suddenly knelt on the ground, clutching his neck in pain.

"Hey! Are you alright...?"

People around him tried to help him up, but in an instant their bodies also reacted strangely, suddenly kneeling on the ground, their eyes rolling back, just like the man before them.

"Waaah..."

They tried to scream, but found they couldn't even make a sound.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, their bodies crackling with red lightning.

……

A tiny red gem slowly appeared in Isaac's hand, not far from them.

"Luckily, you haven't forgotten this trick." Isaac said with a detached smile.

In fact, he had already discovered the ambushers earlier, but because of Nina, the little girl, he couldn't just blow them up. So he simply turned their souls into stone.

A single stone is a treasure to an ordinary alchemist, but for an alchemist of Isaac's caliber, it is merely a supplementary resource.

With five million units of Philosopher's Stone within him, he wouldn't care about such a small amount. Compared to the tiny Philosopher's Stone, the established fact that the enemy was already dead was more advantageous.

"Mr. Isaac, what is this gem in your hand?" Nina asked, noticing Isaac's curiosity as he looked at the small Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

"It's nothing, just made of plastic. Do you want it?"

"No, no, no." Nina shook her head.

Her intuition told her that this was no ordinary thing.

-

"I've said it countless times, I have no interest in joining any organization."

Outside a dilapidated little clinic, a middle-aged doctor wearing glasses and a white coat leaned against the wall, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
