"Alright, let me explain the contest rules," Ophelia explained as she sat down. "Whoever produces the rarest elixir in one-hour wins. If the time is up and you haven’t finished, you lose."
She looked at her watch and set it. "Your time starts... now."
Ewan reacted quickly. He walked to the ingredients section and measured each ingredient with his bare hands. It was extremely accurate!
He lit a fire, emptied the ingredients in, and started producing his elixir. Everything went smoothly, and there was not a mess in sight.
The entire Carter family surrounded him, looking at Ewan's every move. They nodded in agreement.
"No wonder he's Ophelia’s disciple. He has such experienced hands!"
"I wonder what rare elixir he will produce? It's so exciting!"
Listening to their comments, Ewan was elated as he smiled with confidence.
However, Darryl looked nonchalant, and he had not even started picking his ingredients.
Many shook their heads at him. He was losing from the start, and it looked like his chances of winning
were slim to none.
"Looks like it was all a lie. I think this idiot got scared looking at all the ingredients, and he might not even know all of them," Rachel taunted.
A few maidservants giggled.
Even Sara was slightly anxious as she said, "Darryl, why aren't you starting yet?"
Darryl laughed. “Don't worry."
