“Rona, can you grab that thing over there for me?”
Newton didn’t even lift his head; he simply called out. A girl with a delicate face quickly walked over, holding something in her hands. This girl was the one Newton had saved, but unfortunately, it seemed that the trauma from that incident had left her expressionless. Her face was more like a blank slate than a poker face, devoid of any emotion—except for…
“Here.”
Newton took out a piece of cake, which couldn’t be considered anything special—just an ordinary dessert. Yet at that moment, Rona’s expression was the most relaxed and softest it had ever been.
“Gold Alchemy! Is the potion ready yet?”
Norman rushed in, looking flustered. He was now full of energy, a stark contrast to when he first met Newton. His clothes were cleaner, and his face looked much fresher, giving him an initial aura of confidence. With one of the three leaders killed by Newton, there was now an open position. Although the other two leaders were considering absorbing that territory and business into their own, one of them was Norman’s subordinate, and at that time, Norman was discussing various potions created by Newton with his other subordinates.
Initially, Norman planned to make money by selling potions and then recruit followers. However, upon hearing this news, he suddenly had an idea: why couldn’t he just become the boss himself? Although he didn’t have many strong subordinates at the moment, Newton’s potions perfectly addressed Norman’s urgent needs. Moreover, if these potions were sold and someone stronger than him partnered with Newton, what would happen then? Norman was quite self-aware; he wasn’t particularly strong, and his intelligence and combat skills weren’t top-notch either. But Newton was different. After defeating a leader directly through combat and possessing those miraculous potions, it was clear that he wouldn’t remain confined to a small underworld for long—he would eventually reach a larger stage, bringing immense help along with him.
To stay close to Newton and gain maximum benefits, Norman knew he couldn’t rely on brains or brawn; he lacked confidence in those areas. However, through observing Newton’s attitude towards potions and his treatment of women and Rona, Norman realized that Newton was a person who valued emotions deeply. Yet his sense of justice left Norman somewhat puzzled. If he was just and yet could create potions or even kill—perhaps even concocting lethal potions to become an accomplice—what did that mean? If he was evil but could kill a leader for a woman he barely knew and even adopt her child… Especially when Newton baked cakes, Norman found him to be quite intriguing.
Norman figured out that Newton had his own set of principles: don’t constrain others with what you know; if you don’t touch their bottom line, they can become your greatest ally. But once you cross that line, it would only lead to mutual destruction. As for what that bottom line was, Norman only had a vague sense of it; he wasn’t entirely clear yet. However, this didn’t influence Norman’s initial cooperation with Newton. He immediately began planning his next steps: utilizing the potions at hand and gathering a large number of followers. He would select some individuals to distribute a few potions to establish initial combat strength. Afterward, he would negotiate with the other two leaders—not daring to take over all territories and businesses outright since he needed to give up part of it as benefits for them; otherwise, he could easily provoke them.
Of course, if that were the case, the existence of the potions couldn’t be revealed. If a potion could elevate a thug to one of The Three Great Powers instantly, then if it fell into the hands of the other two or anyone else… Norman wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully. However, word about the potions getting out was inevitable; he didn’t trust how tight-lipped his followers could be. Thus, keeping Newton under wraps became paramount; Norman had to ensure no one else could reach him.
After realizing all this, Norman sent Roderick back while not placing anyone around Newton. However, this also meant removing Newton from the underworld; now he resided in a place unknown to him, surrounded only by Rona. Each time they came for potions or delivered daily necessities, it was only Norman who visited.
Newton had already planned for this kind of situation like being under house arrest. After all, for these people on the road, this method is too common. It's just that he has two people, Rona, which is just right. Without others, Newton can't Able to teach Rona something. As for whether Norman will install some surveillance equipment here, compared to Newton, Norman is still far behind. Even if Newton counter-controlled his equipment, he wouldn't be able to find anything. But in this case, the purpose of Newton coming here will not be achieved. You must know that Newton came here not for long-term development and then use fake medicine to destroy the empire, but to inquire about Makarov. So how to break the situation has become a key. But if we calculate the time, according to the increasing demand for drugs, it seems that Norman is not far away from unifying this sewer, right? But this is also a game set by Newton. You must know that the appearance of so many strange potions cannot just stay in such a sewer. The greater the movement here, the more likely it is that others will notice these potions. The bigger it is, the more likely it is that someone will come to find you. No matter who comes to see me for what purpose, at least he has changed the environment. As for leaving on your own, this is also a way, but after all, it is a bit of a waste of time to start from scratch compared to directly breaking into someone else's company and starting from the middle or upper level. You must know that when Newton came out, he would only be out for three months, but now it is almost half a month, and he has not made any progress yet. "GoldAlchemy." But the opportunity came faster than Newton imagined. About two or three days after Norman got the medicine, he came to Newton's house again, and this time he looked like However, it was a bit dirty and messy, and there was even blood seeping out in some places. His energy level was quite poor, and he felt as if he was about to collapse. "Is there any more powerful medicine?" At this time, Norman's eyes were red and he seemed to be on the verge of madness. "Yes." Newton nodded. "Give it to me!" Norman grabbed Newton's body tightly, but was pushed away by Newton.
"Are you sure you want this?"
Newton smiled, his happiness radiating brightly.
