Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Can you represent amalgam?

“I didn’t dare to say it before, but now I can confirm that I’m in charge of the mercury alloy business.”

"Good heavens, you've managed to take control of this organization in just a few years."

Isaac never expected Leonard to progress so quickly, from a child kidnapped to a mercury alloy to someone who could lead the entire organization.

"When are you coming to Japan? Let's talk about collaboration?"

"I estimate it'll be within the next few months. I'll try to come to Japan when I have some time," Leonard said with a smile. "So, what about HCLI and Mithril?"

"We can discuss the mithril issue once you arrive, since your sister is there."

As Isaac spoke, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

He glanced back at Coco and her team.

"As for that woman, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, we can leave her alone. But if she does something out of line... I'll remind her out of consideration for her. If she insists on going her own way, I can only apologize."

In fact, Isaac had just prepared to get rid of Coco right now, as it was a precaution.

The reason she didn't take action was because of Coco's father, Freud. Although he had swindled that money himself, he was still an early investor in IW.

"See you in a few months, Feifan-ge."

"We look forward to your arrival."

After hanging up the phone, Isaac walked out from the back of the villa.

He slowly sat down next to Coco.

"Miss Hekmedia, how is your father now?"

You mean him? I don't know either.

“You seem to have had a bad relationship with Mr. Freud,” Isaac said.

"Hey, Isaac, you're willing to call my father by his name, so why won't you just call me by my name?"

"It's a matter of habit."

Isaac believed that if HCLI truly wanted to cooperate, neither Coco nor her brother, whom she had never met, would be of any use in negotiating; only the true power behind HCLI, Freud, would be effective.

"Coco, you just said you wanted me to join your team, right?"

"Oh? You agreed?"

Coco said happily.

"You should tell my parents about this."

"...Do you really think your parents would agree to hand their son over to an arms dealer?"

“Then let your father talk to me,” Isaac said. “If he agrees, I’ll come to you.”

"You're clearly not going to agree."

"To be precise, I don't think you're reliable, so I naturally have to be careful about this kind of thing," Isaac said, waving his hand. "Don't think you're so charismatic; you can't attract me."

"Cut~"

----------

After dinner, Coco and her team went back.

Given the original size of her team, the fact that she only brought such a small number of people suggests that the others must be in the nearby area, indicating that they came to Japan on a mission, the nature of which remains unknown.

Anyway, even if we don't know what Coco wants, one thing is certain.

When an arms dealer utters the word 'world peace,' he's either politically motivated or simply has something wrong with his head.

Isaac would never associate with someone who has a problem with their brain.

Chapter 1305: Saving the Rugby Team

"Ayana, you can stay at my place for a while."

"Huh? Is it really okay?"

When Ayana was suddenly invited by Isaac to live with her, she was stunned at first, then nodded excitedly.

"Of course... but why so suddenly?"

"Remember that group of people who came last night? They came to poach our talent."

"Don't worry, I will always work by Isaac's side," Ayana immediately stated. "I will not go to any other organization, no matter how much benefit they offer."

“I’m not worried about that. What I’m worried about is the other side. They might take some extreme measures, so for safety’s sake, you should stay at my house. Violet has already agreed.”

"Oh, that's wonderful."

Actually, what Ayana was most worried about regarding living at Isaac's house was what Violet would think.

After all, Isaac and Violet have now confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, so it would be inappropriate for him to directly interfere with them and upset Violet.

But if Violet agrees, Ayana would naturally be happy to live with Isaac.

Actually, Isaac first asked Violet for her opinion before arranging for other girls to stay, and only after learning that she agreed did Isaac come to invite Ayana.

Of course, only Ayana was invited; as for Chidori, Sousuke Sagara could only keep an eye on things.

"Sagara."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Isaac call his name, Sagara immediately left his seat and went to Isaac's side.

"Keep a close eye on things lately. The people at HCLI might have designs on the Listener. Chidori, keep an eye on things over there... Of course, I'll talk to headquarters and ask them to give you some extra manpower."

"Were they the same people from yesterday?"

“Although I hate to say this, but…” Isaac sighed helplessly, “Coco is an old acquaintance of mine, and unfortunately the organization she represents is very likely to be on the opposite side of us.”

"I see."

"They may be loitering around Tokyo, Japan during this period. If you suspect anything, please contact me directly."

"learn."

"I hope I'm just being paranoid," Isaac said, sitting silently with his head down.

Assuming Coco truly intends to control global logistics and genuinely plans to use force to win over the Listeners and scientists, then...

Even if it's someone he knows well, he still has to kill them without hesitation.

“I hope you don’t go that far, Coco,” Isaac muttered to himself. “Our relationship isn’t good enough for me to spare your life.”

"Isaac!"

Suddenly, Chidori walked into the classroom and spoke to Isaac and Sagara Sousuke.

"President Lin Shui has something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"He didn't say, but he seemed to be in a hurry," Chidori said.

"Alright, Sagara and I will head over now."

Isaac and Sagara Sousuke exchanged a glance and were about to leave when Isaac's wrist was suddenly grabbed just as he was about to leave the door.

Turning around, he found Ayana grabbing him.

"Didn't you say you'd protect me?" Ayana laughed. "Then it'd be better if we stayed together at school, right?"

"……Too."

After only a few seconds of thought, Isaac agreed to Ayana's request.

Ayana was naturally very happy, after all, the longer she could spend with Isaac, the better, because she only felt at ease when Isaac was by her side.

-

"So... President Lin, you called us all this way just for something about school clubs?"

"It's not that far away, we're all from the same school."

Lin Shuidun opened the white paper fan in his hand and smiled as he looked at the crowd gathered in front of him.

He turned his gaze to Ayana Fujisawa.

"I didn't expect that Fujisawa, who was ranked first among Jintaka-san's students, would come to the student council office. I remember you refused when we asked you to work in the student council before."

"I still refuse to this day."

Cai Cai said calmly.

"I'm here simply because Isaac is coming."

At school, she wouldn't give any boy a friendly look except for Isaac. Sousuke Sagara was already the limit of the boys in the school who could have a normal conversation with her.

"Isaac? Are you referring to Satomi?"

Lin Shui Dunxin didn't mind. He looked at Isaac and said, "Is that Satomi-kun's real name? Can I call you Isaac from now on?"

"Of course, Chairman Lin Shui is certainly qualified."

"It is my honor."

Lin Shuidun smiled and explained the purpose of gathering everyone together.

"Actually, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but it concerns the school's rugby team... I remember when we were chatting before, Satomi-kun was a member of the high school rugby team in the United States, right?"

"Yeah, I used to skip class specifically to train with the rugby team."

Isaac said.

"I've participated in a few back-to-school competitions, and my results were decent."

“In that case, I’ll probably need your help with this,” Lin Shuijun sighed. “The rugby club at Jindai High School… is almost going to be disbanded.”

"Oh."

Isaac nodded.

"In other words, let me turn a weak team into a strong team. This is something I'm good at. Back in high school, I had about a dozen tactics. Dealing with Japanese teams shouldn't be a big problem."

"Isaac, don't speak too definitively."
