Falko had a flummoxed look who had been long forgotten by everyone. His respect for Damien lessened as he felt that it was a totally unfair agreement he forced Valentina to agree.

How could love be forced upon an individual? And even if one should listen to their master, that did not mean they could dictate their disciple's love life.

However, he didn't say anything out loud and kept all his frustrations bottled up no matter how disgruntled he was.

However, the one who was most happy was obviously Roy Clive. He felt like kissing Alchemist Azrael's feet for giving him such a wonderful opportunity.

Heck, it seemed as if Alchemist Azrael was offering up his own disciple to him on a platter.

At first, he was quite frustrated that Valentina spurned him in front of everyone and chose Damien over him. He then thought of crushing Damien and then blackmail Valentina to get what he wanted.

But after this pleasant turn of events, he thought that he didn't even have to do it the hard way, and Valentina will soon be his.

He started looking at Alchemist Azrael in a new light and decided to do his best in the spar to impress him even though he felt there was not going to be much of a fight anyway. It would surely be a one-shot victory.

The only other person who didn't feel good was Dennisa Rivers. She didn't like where this was going. Now she was sure that Roy's father would persuade her father to tell her to let off Valentina without injuring her severely.

She grinded her teeth, thinking that she must find some other way to vent her anger on Valentina.

Herwin Clive let out a hearty laugh, "I can't agree more with you, Alchemist Azrael. A beautiful swan like your disciple doesn't deserve a frog. I can understand why an innocent maiden like her was taken in by his devious words. After all, he must have gotten closer to her just to hug your thighs, haha. But a young boy like him surely underestimates seniors like you and us as if we couldn't see through his schemes."

Herwin Clive smirked inwardly, thinking that such a heavenly beauty should not belong to his son only. He was now even ready to face his father-in-law's wrath even if his wife knew his intentions.

Valentina gave a side glare at Herwin Clive, whose smile stiffened when he felt her glare. She looked away and closed her eyes as if she couldn't stare at such a disgusting person any longer.

Harvey Rivers inwardly felt jealous of the Clive Family for being able to hog Valentina all to themselves.

In case Roy Clive and Valentina became a thing, then not only would they have an extremely beautiful prodigy join their family but also strengthen their relations with the eminent Alchemist Azrael.

He felt like he was the only one losing out here. But then he thought about how his daughter was at least going to gain a limited version of a Supreme Tier Pill and took satisfaction at that. At least he was only getting benefits out of this situation.

Damien cleared his throat and beckoned Roy and Dennisa towards him, "Come, Roy Clive and Dennisa Rivers, let me bestow you two with a gift."

Dennisa and Roy looked at each other and stepped forward with excitement sparkling in their eyes. They wondered if Damien was going to give them some breakthrough or healing pill as those were the ones cultivators mostly needed.

They bowed at Damien and said respectfully, "Senior Azrael, though we are not worthy to receive your favor, we won't insult your intentions and will gladly accept your gift."

'Hmph, at least you two know you ain't worthy.' Damien inwardly scoffed as he took out two pills.

One was light pink, and the other was light brown in color. He gave the pink one to Dennisa and the brown one to Roy.

Dennisa and Roy took the pill and curiously looked at it as they had never seen any pill of this color. They wondered if Damien came up with his own pills.

Herwin Clive and Harvey Rivers also thought the same thing as they knit their brows while looking at the pills.

However, Falko had a bit of an exaggerated reaction as he couldn't even recognize what those pills are for!

Even with his extensive knowledge of alchemy and being personally tutored by the most powerful alchemist, Leon Xeton, he still couldn't identify the pills Damien had given to Roy and Dennisa.

He couldn't even identify by the potent medicinal aura emanating from the pills except that those two were Supreme Tier Rank 4 Pills.

Then the only other explanation was...they were exclusive pills that were not in the market yet because it was only recently formulated by Damien himself.

And this meant that Damien came up with the pill's medical formulas on his own! That too, Rank 4 Pills!

Even creating a medical formula for a Rank 1 Pill was not a simple task for an expert alchemist. Even he couldn't yet come up with a good enough medical formula for a Rank 1 Pill.

The only one who he knew who could make splendid breakthroughs in medical formulas was his master, Leon Xeton.

Other than him, he had never come upon any prodigious alchemist who could come up with stellar medical formulas on their own. Falko could sense that those were not failed products but the best of the best in terms of quality and everything by just inspecting the pill.

He wondered if Damien would really outshine Leon Xeton in a couple of dozen years. Leon Xeton already told him that Damien's potential was way higher than his, and it was only a matter of time till he would no longer be the best alchemist in the world.

Falko now felt that his master's words seemed to become more and more true after seeing those two pills with his own eyes.

Meanwhile, everyone else was puzzled looking at those two pills as they had never heard or come upon such pills all these years. But then they remembered how Damien said that he would be giving pills that weren't even in the market yet.

They were astounded just like Falko when they realized that Damien could even formulate his own Rank 4 Pills.

Even though they didn't have a clear idea of how tremendously difficult it was like Falko, they still had the basic knowledge of what medical formulas were. It was something even expert alchemists had difficulty creating new ones on their own.

Before they could ask Damien, what those pills can do, he said in a proud tone, "These two pills are among my finest creations. The pink pill will increase your beauty and charm to the point that even men who hate women wouldn't take their eyes off you."

Dennisa River's eyes flashed as she heard Damien's astonishing explanation about the pink pill in her hand. She never expected Damien to give her a beauty pill that could augment her beauty to a new level.

Even though it was not what she expected, this was a pleasant surprise for her. She couldn't imagine the stupid expressions of men when they see her after taking this pill. She had never come upon such a pill and wondered if the effects would be permanent.

Damien saw through her and said, "No need to worry if it's temporary. The effects are permanent."

He then looked at Roy Clive, "The brown pill in your hand can increase your vitality and give you a bit longer lifespan than usual. It also means that your body would be a bit stronger than before and, of course, even your virility." Damien said in a straight tone without caring about the astounded and stupefied expressions on others' faces.

Increase beauty?...Increase life span?...Increase virility?...

How could such unbelievable pills exist? It seemed even more enticing than those breakthrough and healing pills.

Especially the two women were staring at the pink pill on Dennisa's hand. Even her own mother was jealous of her daughter for receiving such a gobsmacking pill.

Herwin and Harvey's feelings were no different when they fervently stared at the brown pill in Roy's hand. They could only imagine how valuable it was and especially the part where Damien said that even one's virility would be increased.

How could they not get enticed by such mind-blowing pills?

Damien derisively smiled as he observed their dignified and lofty expressions turning into one of greed and jealousy just like any other common people.
