+13 Jeremy looked over at the sound and saw a graceful woman wearing a mask. Although he couldn’t tell her age, he could tell that she was quite young. Jeremy thought, ‘Is she the Owner of Arcanum House?‘

Jeremy was a bit hesitant and thought, “The Owner of Arcanum House I had imagined was an old man. How could it be a young woman?‘

It wasn’t surprising that he thought so. He had never met the Owner of Arcanum House before and had assumed that someone who was respected and had such skill in medicine must be an old man over fifty.

Moreover, almost all people greeted the Owner of Arcanum House “Arcanum Master“, which suggested that she must be of advanced age, right?

Noticing the doubt in his eyes, Elysia curved her lips slightly. “Jeremy, which drug do you come for?”

Jeremy finally came to his senses, quickly stood up, and spoke with respect, “Nice to see you...” The words “Arcanum Master”

got stuck in his throat. He really couldn’t call such a young girl “Arcanum Master.”

After a brief hesitation, he continued, “Nice to meet you–Owner of Arcanum House.”

Hearing this, Alyce coldly looked at Jeremy, who, among those coming to the Arcanum House for drugs, was the first one who didn’t greet the Boss “Arcanum Master.” In her opinion, this was a sign of disrespect. A hint of warning showed in her eyes.

But she didn’t know Elysia’s expression at the moment when she fixed her gaze on her as the mask covered her entire face.

However, she could sense the calm and peaceful aura emanating from her, indicating that the Boss didn’t mind the title. So she had to suppress her expression and lower her eyes as it seemed that Elysia indeed didn’t care about the title, at all. If she had to choose one, she preferred the title “Owner of Arcanum House“. Although “Arcanum Master” didn’t refer to age but to seniority, it was still easy to be misunderstood at first. In that case, “Owner of Arcanum House” was quite good.

At least, it wouldn’t lead to wild speculations.

Looking at Jeremy, she made a “please” gesture, emphasizing her respect to him.

After saying this, she took the main seat and Jeremy followed suit. Alyce stood beside Elysia, her body straight as a ramrod.

“Jeremy, you haven’t answered my question yet. Which drug do you come for?” said the Owner of Arcanum House.

Jeremy didn’t dare to delay and quickly replied, “Owner of Arcanum House, I am here to seek a life–prolonging drug for Grandfather.”

“Life–prolonging?” asked the Owner of Arcanum House.

“Yes, Grandfather had an operation not long ago, but the effect wasn’t good. Lately, he has been losing weight rapidly. I heard that you have a special life–prolonging drug and come especially for it today,” added Jeremy.

The Arcanum House was renowned for its rich variety of drugs, which were efficient for beautifying the skin and prolonging lifespan. It was said that even those on the brink of death could be revived by taking drugs of the Arcanum House.

Therefore, people were eager to buy drugs from the Arcanum House. However, the Arcanum House didn’t do business with just anyone. To put it bluntly, it all depended on whether they were pleasing to others.

+13 “It is ok to supply the drug for prolonging lifespan, but all drugs supplied by Arcanum House are non–refundable once sold out,”

said the Owner of Arcanum House.

Upon hearing this, Jeremy’s eyes lit up instantly. He had come today just to have a try, but it actually worked out.

As long as the Arcanum House agreed to sell the drug, that was enough. As for refunds or exchanges, that was absolutely impossible. He had full confidence in the drug of the Arcanum House.

Looking at his joyful face, Elysia signaled to Alyce behind her. “Go get the drug for Jeremy.”

“Yes, Boss.” Alyce nodded slightly and walked out.

Alyce thought, “This young man is so lucky that the Boss actually sells the drug to him so easily. After getting the drug from the Arcanum House, Alyce returned to the front hall and handed the drug box to Jeremy.

Once the transaction was completed, Jeremy got up to take his leave. But just as he was about to step out of the front hall, he pulled his foot back.

Turning to Elysia sitting in the main seat, looking as if he had made up his mind, with a pleading look in his eyes, he said, “Owner of Arcanum House, could you do me another favor?”

“What is it?” asked Elysia.

“I have long heard that the Owner of Arcanum House is not only good at making and using medicine, but also has profound medical skills. Could you please go with me to make a diagnosis for Grandfather?” asked Jeremy.

He was sincere, but Elysia did not give an immediate answer. She did know some medicine, which she had learned from Jack in her spare time when she was young.

But compared with Jack who was known as the “Medical Sage,” she was just a novice.

Unlike Elysia who was calm, Alyce was not that composed. Looking at Jeremy, she said in a displeased tone, “Jeremy, you are a bit too pushy.”

Hearing this, Jeremy still stood firmly without any sign of retreat. Only then did Elysia speak indifferently, “Alyce, do not be rude.”

“Yes, Boss. I’m sorry for that,” said Alyce.

Elysia fixed her gaze on Jeremy again. After a long while, she said, “Alright, since I am in a good mood today, I will grant your wish.”

Upon hearing this, a bit of joy finally showed on Jeremy’s tense face. “Thank you very much, Owner of Arcanum House.” Elysia did not respond, but looked at Alyce standing beside her and ordered, “Go get my set of silver needles.”

“Yes, Boss.” Alyce walked out and soon came back with a brocade box. She bent her body slightly and handed it to Elysia respectfully.

“Do you need me to keep you company?” asked Alyce.

“Stay here and take care of the Arcanum House,” said Elysia, rising to her feet and heading towards the door. Jeremy quickly followed.

About half an hour later, the car drove into the most prosperous area of Sivro and stopped in front of a solemn villa.

Elysia got out of the car and walked in side by side with Jeremy. The servants, upon seeing the two, all stopped in their tracks and bowed respectfully.

They made their way to the bedroom of Ott, where several people were seated inside, their expressions grave.

“Dad, Musk, and Judy, the Owner of Arcanum House is here,” Jeremy announced.

Upon hearing this, they all turned to Jeremy with looks of astonishment. Standing beside him was a woman wearing a mask and dressed in plain linen clothes. Her attire indeed matched the description of the Owner of Arcanum House.

They thought, ‘Could the Owner of Arcanum House be so young and invited so easily?‘

Judy was filled with doubts, with her brow furrowed slightly. But, since her elder brothers remained silent, she naturally didn’t dare to speak out of turn.

Judy thought, ‘If I said something wrong, wouldn’t it lose face for the Murphy Family and offend the Owner of Arcanum House?‘

Although she had never met the Owner of Arcanum House before, she was well aware of her status and position and knew better than to offend her lightly.

After a moment of hesitation, Baron finally recalled his scattered memories of the Owner of Arcanum House, who he had fortunate enough to meet once before, and had dressed exactly like this. There was no doubt about her identity.

It seemed that his son truly had some ability, managing to invite the Owner of Arcanum House, which had indeed brought honor to the Murphy Family.

But at the moment, he didn’t have time to think about that as the most pressing matter was to have the Owner of Arcanum House examine Ott. Perhaps there was still hope for his recovery.

With this in mind, he quickly got up and walked towards Elysia. “Arcanum Master, we were unaware of your arrival and failed to greet you properly. Our apologies.”
