My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Just as Weiss was about to launch the park to salvage his almost zero reputation.

A slow, crisp applause suddenly rang out behind me.

"Clap-pop-pop-"

The applause echoed loudly in the empty warehouse area.

Weiss slowly turned his head.

A man with slicked-back black hair slowly emerged from the shadows deep within the warehouse.

The man was wearing a white overcoat with the collar open, and had a nearly burnt-out cigarette dangling from his mouth.

He was extremely robust, with broad shoulders and prominent chest muscles that stretched his white coat taut. At nearly two meters tall, he was even taller than Weiss, and exuded a powerful and imposing aura of authority.

He was accompanied by two guards, a man and a woman, both dressed in the golden uniform of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild.

"Vice President...?"

Zell's face turned deathly pale instantly.

The man with the black slicked-back hair slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, then looked at Zell, whose face was pale and bloodless, with a cold smile.

"Zel, you did a great job!"

"I genuinely thought those 11 bottles were your mistake, that you were just unlucky and got tricked. I never imagined—you were all in cahoots!!"

"How dare you? A full 49 drops of Tier 7 potion! How could you do that? Are you trying to kill me too?"

At this point, the black-haired man's eyes turned somewhat cold, and his voice suddenly rose a notch.

"Besides, you should at least have collected 50 bottles; that would sound a bit better..."

"I'm stuck on bottle 49! My OCD is killing me!!!"

"Vice-Vice President, no, it's not what you think, I..."

Faced with this barrage of questions, Zell was immediately drenched in sweat.

He stammered, his mouth agape, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

However, this was quite different from Zell's state of panic.

With a nonchalant expression, Weiss casually put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled.

"Sorry, I didn't quite understand."

"How was the calculation of 49 bottles of Tier 7 potions derived?"

The vice president narrowed his eyes but remained silent.

So Weiss continued calmly, explaining, "Those Tier 7 potions in Moonlit City were destroyed by the Sun Princess. What does that have to do with me? Of these 38 drops, 18 were purchased with my own money, and the other 20 were given to me by your Starry Night Merchant Guild under a written agreement with at least a one-year betting period."

Therefore—the final answer is 0.

"Is there a problem with this?"

The words fell.

The vice president's expression became subtle, and the two guards beside him also looked somewhat strange.

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly sneered, threw the cigarette butt in his hand directly on the ground, and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.

"Heh, not bad mental fortitude."

"Her tongue is also quite good..."

"However, do you think the Starry Sky Merchant Guild didn't investigate you? The only reason the Selenes family arranged a marriage with you was because of your Wind Addict sequence."

"Once we arrive in the royal city, let alone an ordinary weather master like you, our Starry Sky Merchant Guild can even find a female Storm as your personal maid, which means—"

"Even if I kill you here, the Selenes family won't make an enemy of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild for your sake. As for the Lunette family, they have absolutely no connection to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

His gaze finally fell on Zell, and he shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

"Zer, I really misjudged you. I personally brought you to this position back then, and in the end, besides betraying me, you even have such a bizarre eye for people? You were completely fooled by an ordinary commoner. Did you really think he had the potential to advance to the 7th rank?"

After hearing the vice president's reprimand, Zell lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.

He knew that once the matter was exposed, it was all over.

It seems I had underestimated the situation.

Having already lost trust, it was impossible for the vice president not to notice something amiss when he suddenly ordered 20 drops of Storm Potion from within the guild. The vice president was a figure of considerable influence; how could he possibly allow such a significant loss on top of the already 11 drops lost?!

but......

As for the vice president's last statement, Zell completely disagreed.

"Would an ordinary commoner dare to take 49 drops of Tier 7 potion from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild?"

Reflecting on what Weiss had done, he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

Upon hearing this, the vice president's eye twitched violently.

Seeing that Zell still dared to talk back, he was immediately furious.

"Kill them!"

As he angrily waved his hand, the female guard behind him immediately took a few steps forward.

Then, he stretched out his palm towards Weiss and Zell—

Suddenly, a tremendous suction force exploded in the air.

The rubble on the ground began to fly wildly, as if it had been seized by an invisible giant hand.

Several carriages parked around the warehouse were suddenly pulled to their sides by this terrifying suction force, the carriages rolling on the ground, wood chips and nails flying everywhere, making a deafening noise.

It's almost immediately obvious that he's an extravagant sorcerer.

However......

Zell stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Surprisingly, nothing happened to him and Weiss.

The surroundings were turned upside down, with debris flying everywhere. The carriages flipped in mid-air, and the entire storage area trembled under the terrifying suction force.

But the two of them stood motionless, as if they were standing right in the eye of the storm.

Weiss always maintained a relaxed and carefree demeanor, with his hands in his pockets and a nonchalant attitude.

Upon seeing this, the extravagant sorcerer immediately showed anger, clenched his fists, and suddenly increased the intensity of his spell.

But the result remained the same.

Despite the raging storm and towering waves around them, only the area within three meters of this silver-haired boy remained completely unaffected.

The sorceress's expression gradually changed from annoyance to some surprise.

Then, Weiss casually glanced at the vice president of the chamber of commerce opposite him.

You just said—

"Is there any possibility that I will advance to become a level 7 transcendent?"

"Dude, you've triggered my rebellious streak."

"This time, I'm going to make sure you see me advance in the next level..."

The voice just fell.

Weiss then took out the black medicine test tube that he had been holding in his pocket, and with lightning speed, unscrewed the cap and poured it down his throat.

While the three people opposite him were stunned, he had already chug down five drops from the bottle.

The vice president's previously calm expression instantly twitched.

"What are you waiting for? Stop him!!!"

Upon hearing the vice president's roar, the female sorceress immediately spread her arms and unleashed a superhuman power several times greater than before. A terrifying, world-destroying suction force swept outwards from her center.

"Splash—"

A sound.

The whole scene was truly earth-shattering.

Several towering trees that had been rooted for decades were uprooted out of thin air, flying through the air with large amounts of soil and gravel. A large part of the warehouse roof was blown off, and beams and tiles were scattered in the air.

Even the empty carriages and horses that Weiss brought were swept up dozens of meters into the air.

however--

Strangely, it was still completely futile for Weiss and Zell.

Layers of invisible wind enveloped the two of them tightly, preventing the opponent's extravagant spells from penetrating.

Weiss, oblivious to everyone else, proceeded to gulp down the contents of the bottle.

In just over ten seconds, he had already drunk a full 10 drops.

Not only the vice president on the other side had a drastic change in expression.

Even Zell, standing to the side, was shocked, his pupils dilated, his expression changed drastically, and his knees buckled, almost causing him to kneel down.

"Weiss! Stop drinking! You'll die!!!"

"You madman, stop!!"

The vice president gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

This guy actually wants to ruin all the guild's potions before he dies?

Here comes someone who's purely seeking revenge on society!!

Amid his furious roar, another male guard who had been holding back finally moved.

"Zheng—"

The long sword was drawn, and a faint, otherworldly halo emanated from its blade.

The male guard rushed forward like lightning.

His speed was so fast that he was like a blur, covering a distance of more than ten meters in an instant.

Long sword slashed diagonally—

"boom!!"

However, it is unknown what invisible thing it struck.

His longsword shattered into countless fragments the moment it touched the whirlwind surrounding Weiss.

His hand was split open, and blood splattered everywhere.

The male guard remained frozen in his dashing pose after wielding his sword, his expression blank, at a loss for what to do.

Meanwhile—

Weiss had already drunk a full 15 drops.

Faced with the full-force attacks of two level 8 guards, he didn't even bother to move.

What version is it now? Do we still need to dodge level 8 attacks?

It's not like it's One Piece...

After drinking 16 drops in one go, Weiss vaguely sensed signs and omens of advancement.

An unprecedented power was surging and boiling within his body, violently impacting every inch of bone, flesh, and supernatural strength in his right arm.

There are 2 drops left; whether you drink them or not makes no difference.

But since you've already said it, it wouldn't be polite to back down.

Weiss simply drank down the last two drops as well.

Adding more extraordinary power to the extraordinary power that is about to undergo a mutation would be like icing on the cake.

Upon witnessing this scene, the vice president's eyes widened in fury, and his pupils trembled violently.

The male guard, whose long sword had shattered, stood there dumbfounded.

What kind of monster is this?!
