I Become Baby Mafia Boss
Chapter 459 - "Something Isn't Right!"
The alchemists suspected the Sloan Family to be hiding an elf somewhere...or maybe they got a talented alchemist that had the same ability as the elves.
However, even when they're curious, they know that it's not their problem to inquire about the Sloan Family's secret.
Their problem now was to identify and test the potions.
"I have never seen these potions before, so I think the only one that can have the final say is the guild master." The senior alchemists pushed the final decision on Geraldine.
However, since Geraldine wasn't here, they could only try the potion themselves to know the effect.
"Find the potion slaves, and get them to try these potions." The vice head ordered the younger alchemist to find slaves to try the potions.
After all, there were cases where the potions they tested were fake.
Thus, they had to find people to try the potions for them...and they got the slaves to do that, called the potion slaves.
Many people who couldn't pay their debt to the Alchemist Guild become their slaves or just people who lost their homes because of the territorial war among the mafia families.
These people were sold as slaves, and the alchemist guild frequently used them to test the potions.
If the slaves got lucky and benefited from the potions they drank, they could choose either to work with the Alchemist Guild or claimed their freedom.
While the alchemist guild was trying to test the potions, at the same time, one of the 7 sacred families, the culprit behind Ainsley's package robbery, was also trying the potions.
"Are you sure that these are the sample potions? Those miraculous potions?" One of the higher-ups, who initiated the robbery, asked the robbers that they hired.
Indeed, the robbers were not only from the 7 sacred families, but they're from a well-known thief guild, an underground, illegal guild that the mafias often worked with.
It's the same as the assassin guild. It was an illegal guild that the government never approved, but such guilds were always there, just kept in the dark.
The robbers' captain nodded confidently. "Yes, boss. This is exactly the package that the Sloan Family brat is going to send to the capital."
The robber captain explained how they got the package and ensured that they intercepted the right package.
"Alright, good job, you people."
The higher-up nodded with a satisfied smile on his face. He then paid the robbers before bringing the potions to the other seniors in the family.
This old man was working for the Thana Family, one of the 7 sacred families protected by two mystical sacred beasts; a griffin and a chimera.
Alas, they're the bottom rank among the 7 sacred families because their chimera is still a baby and their gryphon is a moody sacred beast.
But now that they got the 6 miraculous potion samples for the Aretha Family...the Aretha Family would help them!
The old man immediately gathered with the others before contacting the Aretha Family.
"...hello?" The voice behind the phone sounded mature yet still youthful.
The old man and the others in the room instantly recognised the voice.
"Ah, young master Raphael!"
"Yeah, it's me. What is it? Have you guys intercepted the package?" Raphael spoke in a cold voice as he looked at the report he got from his personal spies.
'Someone saw Vallan's figure coming out of the Sloam Family's mansion...but he flew so fast that the spies couldn't catch up.'
Raphael's mind was already on the report, not on what the old man was talking about through the phone.
"Uh, young master, we managed to intercept the potion sample. It's in our hands now...should we send it to you?"
"Hm? Yeah, do it." Raphael replied absentmindedly as he recalled his spies' vague report.
'Why is Vallan flying out of the Sloan Family's mansion? What is he trying to do, and where is he going? That dumb horse must be under that baby's charm effect…'
Raphael rubbed his chin as he tried to guess what's going on.
'I have intercepted that baby's potion samples. Maybe right now, she's panicking...oh, right. She might use Vallan to trace down the stolen potion.'
Since Vallan could manipulate wind, he could also vaguely trace other people' traces through their smell….though not always accurate.
Alas, that's the only logical reason that Raphael could think of about Ainsley's weird action.
'Mmmm...in the end, it's better to keep the potion sample or test it first. If it's not a fake potion, we can consider sending a few assassins and thieves to the Sloan Family's mansion…'
Raphael rubbed his temple and sighed.
"Send the potion sample asap. I want them to arrive at my place tonight."
It took 6 hours by air vehicle to arrive at Raphael's current location. The old man and the higher-ups instantly nodded while replying in a shaky voice.
"Of course, young master. We will do as you wish!"
Even when they're a part of the 7 sacred families, they still act as if they're the Aretha Family's dog…
Ironic, indeed. But that's the hard reality.
The old man and the higher-ups finally cut off the call before sending the potion samples to Raphael's mansion.
That night, Raphael received the package and immediately got some slaves to test the potions.
"Drink this." Raphael didn't even look at the small potion bottle containing only a drop of potion as he threw it.
The slave instantly caught the potion and kowtowed.
"Y-yes, master. Right away!" The middle-aged man with an unkempt beard held the potion bottle with a shaky hand.
He slowly opened the bottle cap...and was about to gulp the potion when Raphael suddenly frowned.
Something...is not right!
