Chapter 941 A Showdown

As soon as the meeting began, the bottle of potion that had yet to be made already had its owner decided.

None of the people in the meeting room dared object to the President taking the potion.

"Alright, we'll take action after we lure that person into the room."

The Vice President looked at Bernie and said.

Suddenly, he looked at Bernie strangely. He felt that Bernie was acting weird today.

"Are you not satisfied with this result?"

Bernie hesitated momentarily and answered, "I helped the guild find an S-Level talent. I think I should be rewarded too."

Hearing this, the Vice President heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "No problem, that's for sure. You'll definitely be rewarded. Go and make the potion. Once everything is settled, there will definitely be a reward. This is a big deal, so don't worry about that."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Bernie with envy. They were all envious that he was lucky enough to find someone with S-Level talent!

Lu Yu continued to control Bernie and said, "By the way, I heard someone say that there's a person called Lu Yu who's our enemy. Is that true?"

The Vice President frowned. "I'm not sure either. There's such a person, but it's all handled by the core members of the Empire. It doesn't have much to do with us."

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean this person is very strong? After all, he's someone that the core members of the Empire needed to deal with!"

"Probably. It should be a difficult opponent, but we don't have to think too much. Just do your own thing. This matter doesn't have much to do with us."

He then looked at Bernie and urged, "Hurry up and make the potion. Don't waste time."

Bernie nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll get to it immediately."

"Right, I have another question."

The Vice President was getting impatient. "Where did you get so many questions?"

"Are all the core members of our guild present for today's meeting? This is the first time I've seen such a big lineup."

"You'll have plenty of chances to meet us in the future," the Vice President replied with annoyance. "As long as you make the potion, I'll let you advance to Rank 6. Understand?"

Bernie quickly nodded. "Thank you for your kindness, Vice President."

The Vice President stared at Bernie carefully.

"Weird. You don't seem very happy about your promotion."

"Is that so? Sorry, I wasn't thinking too much about it."

The Vice President narrowed his eyes and locked onto Bernie.

"Then what are you thinking about?"

Bernie coughed twice and replied, "I'm thinking about the potion making. I'm going out to make it, so you guys just wait here."

Hearing this, the Vice President nodded slightly. Although he felt that it was strange, he did not say anything. He also wanted to get this potion as soon as possible.

In that case, he would be greatly praised for giving the potion to the President first.

There was even a chance for him to enter the core circle of the Empire, where he would be at the peak of power!

He was basically the highest authority in this city at the fringe of the Empire.

Even so, there were still many people who could stand on equal footing with him. So, his desire for power was endless.

Therefore, he was especially anxious about this opportunity. He just wanted Bernie to make the potion as soon as possible.

Just as Bernie got up and was about to leave.

Bang!

Suddenly, a person barged into the meeting room. That person was wearing a gray robe and was panting heavily. His forehead was covered in a cold sweat!

"Everyone, something big has happened!"

The Vice President quickly turned to look at him and asked, "What's so important that you're in such a hurry? We're busy here!"

The man quickly explained, "When I went out to look for medicinal herbs, I saw a young man in ragged clothes. He was covered in blood. When he saw me, he turned around and ran away as if he had seen a ghost!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly realized what had happened.

This person seemed to have discovered the people he had just released from Bernie's house.

It seemed like he would be exposed here!

The Vice President immediately stood up with a serious and nervous expression.

"Are you serious?"

At this moment, the person dragged a figure behind him into the room.

"Look, I brought him here. This person is definitely a medicinal herb. Even a beggar wouldn't look like this!"

The Vice President lowered his head to look at the ground and saw a small boy squatting on the ground, shivering all over, completely ignoring the people around him.

Although dressed in rags, he looked very different from a beggar.

The biggest difference was that his body was covered in blood, and he acted nervous and afraid. A beggar, though dirty, shouldn't be covered in blood or be afraid of them.

The Vice President immediately recognized that this guy was a medicinal ingredient for their potion!

More importantly, if there had been one, more would have escaped!

If these medicinal herbs were to escape, then without a doubt, their dirty business would be exposed!

At that time, the entire city would be enraged. They were not sure if they could withstand that kind of anger!

Even though they were stronger than the civilians, they didn't dare confront them head-on.

In response, the Vice President took a deep breath. "Everyone, stand up and take a look. Who caught this one and who let it out?!"

Everyone stood up and looked over at the young boy.

After checking, they all shook their heads and denied it was them.

Bernie also shook his head.

"No one? Only the core members and quasi-core members here know about the Blood Origin Potion. There isn't anyone else who knows the recipe!"

"It can't be that the President's ingredients have sneaked out, right?"

He asked back, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the crowd.

He concluded that this medicinal herb was released by one of the people present in this meeting.

"Do you know how much damage this will cause to our union? Not only will it destroy our image, but it will also make it impossible for us to carry out our work in the future!"

"After being exposed, how are we going to catch more medicinal herbs in the future? Everyone will be wary of our guild and might even treat us as demons!"

"Who among you can bear the consequences?"

He roared and slammed his palm on the table!

He panted heavily as the anger in his heart continued to rise, causing his cheeks to turn red.

One of his hands smashed a big hole in the table, and the other clenched his fist so tightly that his joints cracked.

He looked at the people in front of him one by one.

"If we can't find out anything, don't even think about leaving. If this matter isn't handled properly, all of you will die here. How dare you treat the supreme Blood Origin Potion so simply? You bastards!"

He roared in anger.

At this moment, someone suddenly raised his hand and said nervously, "I think I know who this person belonged to; it's Bernie."
