âWhy would he have such a precious pill?â
âCould he be an incomparably noble alchemist? But how could such a young, profound alchemist exist
in the world?â
Khloe Yggdrasill looked at Alex Rockefeller. âYou⦠Why do you have such a pill?â she asked.
âIs this pill enough to buy Doryâs freedom?â Alex Rockefeller asked.
âYou⦠You want to use this pill to purchase Doryâs freedom?â Khloe asked.
âWhatâs the matter? Do you think itâs too little?â Alex asked.
ââ¦â
How could it be too little? This was a limit-breaking pill!
Never mind Dory, it was more than enough to buy Khloe off too. Khloe didnât even look at Dory. She
immediately nodded. âAlright. Dory is yours.â
Alex waved his hand. âIn that case, leave. Without my permission as the owner, donât ever step into my
house.â
Khloe wanted to say something, but she stopped herself.
However, her mind was focused entirely on the limit-breaking pill in her hand. This was a significant
matter. She needed to return and inform her grandfather about it right away⦠Khloe looked deeply at
Alex. In the end, she didnât say anything. She turned around and departed from the house.
Long after Khloe had left, Dory finally recovered from the shock.
âDid⦠Did you really just buy me with a limit-breaking pill?â Dory asked.
âI didnât buy you. I bought your freedom!â Alex corrected. âI canât have a meal you cooked me for free,
can I? Though I havenât even taken more than a few bites, and before a few flies interrupt the mealâ¦
Well, are there any ingredients left? If there are, could you cook some more food?â Alex said.
Dory still felt a little fazed. After a long while, she finally jumped to her feet and went into the kitchen to
cook.
Alex frowned while he thought for a moment. Khloeâs words reminded him of something.
Starborn City was all about survival of the fittest. There were no laws to be spoken of.
Seeing how the Yggdrasill family treated Alex like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered just because of a
few pills, giving them a limit~breaking pill might only flame the Yggdrasill familyâs greed.
âHmph!â
âI hope you know when to stop!â Alex murmured.
While Dory was keeping herself busy in the kitchen, Alex went into the room. He silently set up a
formation that was both offensive and defensive. Using a spiritual tool as the foundation of the
formation, as well as his blood essence as its core, he blended everything in his ancient rune. It
merged with his mental strength. With a single thought, Alex could manipulate this formation as he
wished.

Meanwhile, Khloe quickly made it back to the Yggdrasill familyâs house. She took the limit-breaking pill
out for Shawn Yggdrasill to examine.
Right then, quite a few other people were also in the house. Apart from Shawn and Kavan Yggdrasill,
there was also Shawnâs eldest son, Dylan Yggdrasill, his eldest daughter-in-law, Lauren Hills, as well
as Dylanâs son and daughter.
âWhat is a limit-breaking pill?â
âIs it the kind of grade-six pill that the Usoro family had to spend half of their assets in exchange?â
âHow could it have come from an ordinary person?â
Everyone was shocked.
Shawn held the pill in his hand and looked at it. âAlthough Iâve never consumed a limit-breaking pill, this
looks exactly like the ones Iâve seen in ancient records. Itâs priceless, priceless! Khloe, well done.
Youâve accomplished quite a lot this time. I will hand over the stores in Freshwater Street to you as
well.â
Khloe was overjoyed when she heard this. âThank you, Grandpa!â
âDad, not only does that young man have a large number of major rejuvenation pills, but heâs even in
possession of such a godly medicine like the limit-breaking pill. Where do you think heâs from?â Dylan
asked.
âCould he be in possession of a treasure left behind by some expert elder?â Lauren asked.
As soon as Lauren said this, everyoneâs eyes turned red.
âIâll go and capture that young man immediately,â Kavan said.
