Chapter 94 - 91: Screwed by Dad
In the southern district of Drogsin Spider Nest City, within the Flavia family’s domain, in their gloomy main hall.
Alianna, having rushed over in a panic, knelt on one knee in a pool of blood. Trying to contain her excitement, she reported David’s trade intentions and the value of this Red Dragon Alchemist to the slender figure shrouded in shadows on the throne. She fully believed she would reap the same pleasure, laughter, and praise that usually came from Matriarch Flavia.
However, this time, the voice that came from the darkness where Matriarch Flavia resided carried a somewhat listless tone: "Tsk, another Alchemist? And a Dragon at that? Now that is truly interesting."
Another? The moment Alianna heard this word, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
Indeed, perhaps sensing the unease in her confidante, and being in a particularly good mood, Flavia enjoyed watching her loyal Drow fall from hope to disappointment. After a while, she decided to share the source of her recent pleasure with her confidante. "Do you remember the Drow who ambushed me on the road outside the city half a month ago?"
"Of course. But wasn’t she a zealous member of the Celestial Faction?"
Alianna certainly wouldn’t forget that individual. She could be described as a ’walking alchemy vault,’ and her showy moves had overwhelmed much of their Shadow Guard in an instant. Yet, she ended up being tactically deceived by Matriarch Flavia and taken down with a single move from behind.
She was a tough one. But too green, too naive, daring to ambush a Matriarch seasoned in the deceit of other matriarchs and her own daughters. It just didn’t seem like someone who grew up in the Gloomy Region, in this deceitful Spider Nest City.
Even if such a person is an Alchemist, could she possibly create an Anger Potion to rival the sample I brought? Could her value compare to that of Sir David Uthos?
She really wanted to plead with her Matriarch, I’ve brought the sample! Look at this nearly solid concentration of the potion! Look at its almost explosive magical effect!
You should try it yourself! Just one taste, she believed, and Matriarch Flavia would surely understand why she hadn’t hesitated to rush back to see her, even if it meant a bleeding backside, and grasp the value of this cooperation!
Yet, Matriarch Flavia’s next words made Alianna swallow back the heartfelt words that were about to burst from her throat: "I have received reliable information... Attilicia, the chief Alchemist of the silver Duchess Mirillian, disappeared recently."
