Me! The Strongest Alchemist Novel! - Chapter 94

Chapter 94: The Relaxed Belek

In the main hall of the headquarters of the Sith Chamber of Commerce, as the Chairman of the Sith Chamber of Commerce, Belek had been performing extremely well recently.

It was because he had told Emperor Harold that Master Mas was a normal human. He had finally become a direct descendant of the Pine family.

One had to know that the capital city of an empire never lacked aristocrats. Instead, it lacked aristocrats of the royal family.

Belek, who had now become a member of the royal family, relied on this identity to suppress the other two major Chambers of Commerces in the empire.

He had already dreamed of letting the Sith Chamber of Commerce become the largest Chamber of Commerce in the Storm Empire after annexing the other two Chambers of Commerce.

Because of this, he had been busy suppressing the other two Chambers of Commerce every day recently. He did not pay much attention to what had happened to Mas.

Today, Belek was at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, enjoying wine and snacks until Mage Anthony’s arrival.

Mage Anthony’s arrival was not conveyed to any servants. He directly entered the hall through the main door.

When Mage Anthony saw Belek’s face, he was furious.

“Belek, you are living such a leisurely life!” Anthony shouted coldly when he saw Belek!

Upon hearing this and seeing Mage Anthony standing at the door, Belek immediately stood up to walk over. He said respectfully, “Third Grandfather, you… Why are you here?”

“You’ve had a good time, Belek!”

“Have you heard of the other two great Chambers of Commerce in the Storm Empire that are about to be annexed by you?” Mage Anthony snapped.

With a bitter smile, Belek replied, “Third grandfather, this is like a battlefield. Even if I don’t annex them, they will annex me! You really can’t blame me for this!”

Mage Anthony snorted and swayed his sleeve before walking to the main seat in the hall and sitting down.

Belek rubbed the back of his head, looking confused. He did not know what was wrong with Mage Anthony.

He thought about what he had been doing recently and realized that he had done nothing wrong.

However, in terms of seniority, Mage Anthony was three levels higher than him. In terms of status, Mage Anthony was an empire’s mage and his status was not something he could compare with.

Therefore, Belek only walked to the side and sat down. He looked at Mage Anthony and said respectfully, “Third Grandfather, what are you here for today?”

Mage Anthony glanced at Belek and said coldly, “Belek, looks like you are full of yourself!”

Belek looked terrified when he heard that. “Third grandfather, I didn’t…”

“Did I do something wrong recently? Please tell me, I am a stupid grandson.”

Mage Anthony shook his head helplessly at the sight of Belek. “What you have done wrong is that you haven’t done anything recently. Do you understand?”

Belek looked puzzled when he heard this. He thought for a moment but could not understand what Mage Anthony meant.

“Third Grandfather, I don’t understand what you mean. What I have done wrong is that I haven’t done anything recently. I really don’t understand,” Belek said blankly.

“Belek, do you still remember how you managed to become a directly related member of the Pine faction?” Mage Anthony asked.

“Of course I do. His Majesty Harold asked me to inquire about Master Mas’s race. After I told His Majesty the information that Master Mas is a human, I obtained the identity of a direct member of Pine family!” Belek replied.

“Since you know, what have you been doing lately?”

“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re on good terms with Master Mas’s disciple, Dyson, I really wouldn’t have come to see you!”

“Do you know something big happened recently?”

“You actually used your status as a member of the royal family to busy yourself with suppressing the other two major chambers of commerce. Are gold coins really that important to you?” Mage Anthony said, looking at Belek with exasperation.

Belek froze at that.

‘Something big?’

He racked his brains but did not know what had happened recently.

Also, he felt that he was not being lazy.

Apart from suppressing the other two Chambers of Commerce, he also sent a large number of people to help Mas search for seven-colored stones.

“Have you heard of the Spider Church, Belek?” Mage Anthony asked.

“The Spider Church?”

“Third Grandfather, could it be that the Spider Church you’re talking about was established by the royal family members of the Spider God Empire who fled hundreds of years ago after the Holy Light Empire wiped out their country?” Belek asked.

“I see, so you do know!” Mage Anthony snorted.

This time, Belek was even more stunned.

“Why did you mention the Spider Church, Third Grandfather?” Belek wondered.

“Master Mas destroyed the Spider Church by himself a few days ago. According to some rumors, Master Mas has three Legendary alchemical creatures, but that’s not the most important!”

“The most important thing is that Mage Mas is also a Legendary water-type mage. He’s the best kind, do you understand?” Mage Anthony said in a deep voice.

Now, Belek understood.

As a person who relied on fawning on Mas to become a direct member of the Pine family, he had recently neglected to fawn on Mas because he was busy suppressing his competitor. This made the royal family dissatisfied.

That was why the royal family had sent Belek, who was somewhat related to him, to knock him down.

There was only one thought in Belek’s mind, and that was regret!

He was filled with regret.

He really wanted to give himself two tight slaps. Because he had obtained the status of a member of the royal family, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to annex the other two Chambers of Commerce. In the end, he ignored the most important thing.

He had never even heard that Mas had wiped out the Spider Church.

It was a big mistake.

“His Majesty has already sent someone to contact Master Mas, but Master Mas is completely refusing to meet guests. Furthermore, he said that unless someone bring him Seven-Colored Stones, Space Stones, or Dimensional Stones to meet him, he will not meet anyone.

“The royal family has recently obtained a Space Stone. I’m here to give you the Space Stone. Then, go and meet Master Mas’s disciple, Dyson. Ask him for help and invite Master Mas to the palace for a gathering!”

“If this mission succeeds, you won’t have to worry about the rest of your life!”

“If you fail this time, Belek, I won’t say much about what will happen to your Chamber of Commerce. Think about it carefully!” Anthony said and took out a dazzling white stone from a pocket he carried with him and placed it on the table.

This was a Space Stone.

Belek did not look good when he saw the Space Stone on the table.

‘Invite Master Mas to the palace?’

Belek felt that there was little hope for this.

However, he looked into Mage Anthony’s eyes and dared not refuse. He could only brace himself and accept this task.

“Belek, don’t disappoint me and the royal family!” Mage Anthony glanced at Belek before he stood up and walked out of the hall slowly.
