Chapter 129 129: THE EXPERT IS GONE (1)
Lady Theodora: "This potion is much more incredible than the one I and Professor Moritz discovered; the potency is at least 10 times and the effect is much more incredible."
Both elders sitting in front of Lady Theodora had a colorful look on their faces as they did not expect the total failure they anticipated to actually hide a big surprise for them all.
"Indeed, this potion is incredible!! As the lady said from the first order potions, this is a high-class one without doubt!!"
The elder lady was the first to voice her opinion as a strange light reflected in her eyes while she gave her husband a look that tells many tales.
Her husband, who was on the same wavelength, immediately understood his wife's hidden meaning: this is an undiscovered potion with great potential to create a whole market for it.
A big business opportunity is on the horizon.
"Hahahahaha, indeed the expert I found was the right choice; he managed to recreate the potion to be as close to the original as possible."
The young master could not help but brag about his achievement, which was now monumental in everyone's mind.
Lady Theodora gave the cup in her hand a strong look, as close to the original as possible. No, it should be the original recipe; the effect is exaggerated to be called an imitation. She had to get in touch with this expert no matter what.
As she observed the reaction of the elders in front of her, she knew what they were thinking at the moment, as you could see federation dollar signs in their eyes.
But her position on the matter was not good; after all, it was the grandson who prepared everything; it is practically owned by them.
The only factor that she could influence is the potion master who had left the room earlier.
The first step is to get in contact with him.
Lady Theodora: "Why don't we call the expert to thank him for such a marvelous potion? I do have a few questions for him."
The elder man's expression changed as he gently tried to shut down Lady Theodora's request.
"He's probably long gone by now; my grandson would be happy to deliver all your questions to him in person, even arranged for a future meetup."
"What are you saying, Grandpa? If Lady Theodore wants to see him, then she will see him right now. How can we let her wait?
Don't worry, my lady; I will call him right now."
The grandson was there for the rescue as if he had not done enough damage for his grandparents already.
The elder lady gave her grandson a strong look while she minced her words, trying to get him to understand.
"How can we call the expert to go back and forth like this? He's an esteemed potion master, not an errand boy. At a later date you could bring him to the lady to have a face-to-face meeting."
"Do not worry, Grandma, I have already called him."
Ring . Ring. Ring . Ring .
The two elders' faces darkened as they did not know where they had gone wrong when raising this imbecile.
"Hello"
"This is Young Master Rufus talking. Where are you right now? Can you get back as fast as possible?"
"Young master, I am on the top floor; I'll be there in a second."
"Good, good, we are waiting for you."
Hanging up the call, he gave Lady Theodora a look like a puppy asking for someone to pat him on the head.
Indeed, in less than 2 minutes, the door opened with one of the manager's staff and an old man who looked in his late 50s.
"Good afternoon everyone, it is my pleasure to attend your noble gathering; I have seen the young master!!"
Everyone in the room with widened eyes was looking at this old man, questioning his purpose for coming in.
"Who are you??"
the young master was the first to ask.
"We just talked on the terminal. I am the potion master Gideon. My flight has just arrived, and I made my way here immediately to try and deliver on the young master's hard request."
"Wait, wait, wait, you are Potion Master Gideon, who I have been talking to??"
"Indeed, young master, why do you look so surprised!?"
"Then who the hell is that expert who made us the potion!!?"
"What expert are you talking about young master!?"
Everyone in the room felt numb as they all turned their heads while looking at the confused young master, Rufus.
Lady Theodora: "Call the manager who was with the young expert earlier; there must be some sort of misunderstanding here."
Both elders on the couch felt an agonizing stomachache as they did not want to imagine what kind of misunderstanding this was.
Both of them thought that the sun would rise from the east today because their grandson actually managed to pull off something so amazing, but their happiness was cut short.
Meanwhile the little lady sitting right next to the young master had her hand on her stomach and the huge fan covering her whole face while she was shaking, barely able to contain herself.
Young Master's face flushed as he angrily screamed at the manager in the room.
"Go find me manager Dave right now!!!"
The confused potion master could not help but ask.
"May I know what is going on here?"
The Elder wanted to smooth things up, but before he could speak, Lady Theodora had other things in mind.
Lady Theodora: "We apologize, potion master. The recipe is over there on the workstation, and if you need anything, you can tell the manager next to you. You can proceed with your work."
"Thank you, my lady; I will get going."
Both elders did not like where this was going, so they questioned Lady Theodora.
"My lady, the potion has been made. Is there any need to trouble the potion master?"
"Yes, my lady, my husband is right; we have the perfect potion right in our hands."
Lady Theodora: "Yes, the potion has been made by someone unknown to the young master. The success was phenomenal, but I still want to see if another experienced potion master can replicate the previous success. This is the first time I feel like I have been deceived. I have to say it's not very pleasant."
She answered respectfully with a moderate tone of voice, but the words hidden behind her eloquent speech with a gentle smile on her face that hid a great deal of dissatisfaction with what happened in front of her were clearly transmitted to both elders as they finally remembered who they were sitting across from.
"It's just a misunderstanding, my lady; we are also in the dark. Indeed, your suggestion is reasonable."
The elder man was the first to try and clarify his family's position on this matter; after all, even if they have the guts of a lion, they would not dare to play ball with the lady in front of them.
If they were called nobles by the masses, then they were beggars in front of the young lady sitting across the table from them.
Someone opened the door as he entered with confident strides, completely different from his previous self, who looked like a nervous wreck.
"Young Master, you have called for me."
Young Master Rufus, who felt like he was sitting on fire, finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel when he saw the manager walking towards them.
"Where have you been? Where is the young expert?!"
Being yelled at stumped the happy manager.
"Young master, 15 minutes ago I concluded the purchase the young expert needed; after that, he left."
"Do you know that the young expert is not the expert I contacted!!? Who is the young man you have brought with you earlier?!"
"WHAT!!? I brought the person the head manager described to me; I really did not know. Did he mess up anything!?"
Lady Theodora started to feel a headache from all the yelling young Master Rufus was doing.
So she chose to handle the conversation.
Lady Theodora: "Please wait, young master, and let me talk to him."
"I embarrassed myself in front of you, of course go ahead."
Lady Theodora: "It is a fact that you have brought the wrong person, but he did not do anything wrong; in fact, he recreated the potion we wanted better than anyone I have ever seen, so don't worry; you are not in trouble.
We all just like to see him again, so if you know where he is or what his name is, if you have his contact, that would be very helpful."
The manager, who was feeling terrified, answered.
"My noble lady, I am so sorry for this disgraceful conduct on my part, but my job was only to escort him from the reception to the top floor.
I was too nervous to ask about his name.
After he went out, he sought my help to buy a few things, which he ended up making a large purchase for."
Lady Theodora: "Good, that means you have a transaction history; you must have his information."
The manager's face turned green as he answered in a low voice while looking at the ground.
"He made the payment in Ena crystals; there is no transaction information at all about him.
I deeply apologize, my lady."
Everyone was surprised as they knew how precious Ena crystals are.
The elderly lady could not help but ask.
"What purchase order is this big to pay in Ena crystals?"
"MA'AM, it is as you said; he purchased a few valuable treasures, with some even unidentified but believed to be precious. His total transaction is for 70,000 low-quality Ena crystals!!"
Both the young master and his grandfather could not contain their shock.
"WHAT!!?"
"WHAT!?"
What do you think?
