“I happen to have an alchemist in my group, Victor. How about I have him treat your niece?” Hamish suggested.
“Forget it. So many alchemists have tried, and none have succeeded. I doubt that alchemist of yours is any better, so there's no point in trying,” Victor replied with a dismissive wave.
Having known Hamish for a long time, Victor knew that the alchemists travelling with him were all average at best.
Displeased with Victor's dismissive attitude, Hamish exclaimed, “Don't underestimate him, Victor. The alchemist in my group is a Supreme Alchemist.”
Victor froze. “A Supreme Alchemist? Really?”
“Wait here while I go get him,” Hamish said as he got up and went looking for Jared.
Jared was planning on getting some rest so he could cultivate after making a breakthrough, only to have Hamish come asking him for help.
“Victor, this is Mr. Chance, the Supreme Alchemist,” Hamish said, introducing him to Victor.
Hamish then pointed at Victor and said, “Mr. Chance, this is Victor, Mr. Jablonski's sworn brother. He's older than Mr. Jablonski, which is why he could have this courtyard built right next to the mansion.”
“Are you kidding me, Hamish? This guy is the Supreme Alchemist you mentioned?” Victor asked in disbelief as he eyed Jared from head to toe.
This guy looks way too young to be a Supreme Alchemist!
“Do I look like I'm kidding? We encountered a poison veil while we were in Mount Crimson. It was Mr. Chance who saved our lives back there. He gave me a pill when I got injured at one point, and my wound healed completely the next day. Hurry up and bring us to Mr. Jablonski's mansion. Who knows? Mr. Chance might just be able to cure your niece!”
After seeing how serious Hamish was, Victor shot Jared another doubtful glance before replying with a nod, “All right, then. I'll let you guys give it a shot.”
