Just as he spoke, he turned towards Maggie and apologized. After that, he presented her with thecompass.
Maggie accepted it without hesitation as she did like the geomantic compass. Hence, she didn’t ask forher refund anymore.
“Let’s go,” Alex said to Kate as he turned to leave.
“Hello, I am Maggie from Breezeworth Hall. I would like to thank you for today,” Maggie steppedforward to express her gratitude towards Alex.
“Don’t mention it.” Alex nodded.
“It’s necessary. Without your help today, I would have been cheated of three hundred thousand.”

Alex replied with a nod. “Alright, I’ll drop by to take a look.”
As Maggie’s eyes sparkled, she replied with a smile, “Alright. I will meet you at the entrance. This is mycontact number and an invitation letter.”
As she spoke, she handed him a name card with gold inlays together with an invitation letter.

After keeping them, Alex asked Kate, “Let’s go, Do you still have anything to buy?”novelbin
Kate shook her head. “No, let’s just go home now.”
“Alright, I’ll drop you off.” Alex nodded.
“There’s no need,” Kate replied, as she went off to hail a taxi.
Alex had given her so many surprises today that she needed time to digest them all.
Spreading his hands, Alex let Kate be and walked to his own car.
He didn’t return to his office, instead he went to Sakura Club.
When Bob saw that Alex had arrived, his heart sank as he apologized again.

After shooting Bob a cold gaze, Alex said nothing more.
“Mr. Jefferson, with regards to your advice, I know that there will be a reckoning at the end of mycurrent path. Hence, I understand what I must do,” Bob nodded as he replied.
Flynn gave Bob a long look but didn’t comment. He just led Alex to a room.
“Your alchemy pot is here. Why don’t you check it out?” Flynn pointed to a bronze pot on the table.
Although the pot looked old, there was no rust on it.
“Looks good, it’s exactly what I wanted. Where did you get it from?” Alex asked as he felt the alchemypot.
“An antique shop. It isn’t expensive at all. It only costs a hundred thousand,” Flynn replied.
“Mmm, this pot must have dated back to Emperor Alexander’s period. A hundred thousand for it is agood price. Come, let’s head to the basement. I’m going to try making some pills today,” Alex lifted thepot as he spoke.
“Are you dabbling in alchemy? Isn’t that just the stuff of legends? Do you really know how to do that?”Flynn was surprised.
“You will see for yourself.”
Alex laughed as he headed into the basement.
