In the Jewel Crown Pavilion...

"No, you should pay your debt first," Edward said without thinking.

"Ugh..." Desmond didn't know what to say for a while.

With no other choice, he could only call his family for money.

Desmond thought he could monopolize this rare resource for himself, garnering a huge amount of contribution points in the family.

Unfortunately, he was poor and without any other source of income. He could only give a part contribution points.

He quickly typed all the information regarding the shop and the quality of the potion, requesting that someone be sent quickly.

...

Donovan Ravenclaw, one of the family elders and a tier 6 mage, was dispatched this time due to the news of the appearance of a top-quality potion.

The mere 100 Mystic Potion was, of course, not what they were after, but the person behind it who created this top-quality potion.

Either recruiting them to their family or monopolizing their supply of top-quality potion was his task.

After 15 minutes, the autonomous vehicle stopped at a remote location in the outer city.

"Is that brat sure that this place can produce top-quality potion?" Donovan murmured.

With a bit of inquiry and doubt, he entered the Jewel Crown Pavilion.

"Elder, you're here!" Desmond said excitedly.

Many curious people entered the shop a few minutes after he reserved the high-quality Mystic Potion.

Fortunately, with only Soul Mending and Blood Rejuvenation in stock, the curious people were too lazy to ask if they had other types of potions.

As a result, others didn't know that there was a top-quality potion that was not on the shelves.

"Mind your manners," Donovan said coldly to Desmond

He then looked at Edward, who was obviously the shopkeeper.

"I heard you have top-quality Mystic Potion here?" Donovan asked straightforwardly.

"Hmm..." Edward nodded.

But inside, he was already brewing energy in case anything happened.

"I want it," Donovan said calmly.

Edward just waved for the alchemy puppet to take out the potion.

"Here are 100 top-quality Mystic Potions. The total is 100 million magic crystals," the puppet said emotionlessly.

Donovan was a bit dumbfounded by the turn of events.

He thought that the other party would put some conditions making it hard to buy all the potion.

"Are you the one who created the potion?" Donovan asked after he absentmindedly paid with his token.

"Yes," Edward nodded, still keeping his guard up.

"How is your success rate with top-quality potions?"

"I can provide 100 top-quality potions a month."

"I want it too. Name your condition," Donovan said arrogantly.

"Yes, as long as you advertise my shop," Edward said after a bit of calculation.

Since there was a free advertisement that came to their door, Edward welcomed it.

Anyway, they can't earn much from selling top-quality potions, as it was only to attract fish.

"Sure!" Donovan said excitedly.

Normally, thousands of top-quality tier 5 and 6 potions were supplied to their family every month.

Donovan is only a collateral branch that used his strength to become a tier 6 mage, so he isn't qualified for such rare resources.

But with this additional 100 top-quality potions that came out of nowhere, it wouldn't be too much to take 10 potions for himself, right?

Although tier 5 Mystic Potion is useless for his cultivation, it can still consolidate his foundation.

"Uh, would you like to join our family as a potioneering alchemist? You can name any conditions," Donovan solicited.

"No, I don't want to join any organization for the time being," Edward said.

"Is that so?" Donovan just sighed.

"In that case, I would like to buy all stock of your potions as a gift for our future transactions," Donovan said flatteringly, his cold attitude gone.

After all, the other party can produce top-quality potions, which means a bright future.

"Hmm..." Edward nodded and went back to taking care of his young masters.

"There are 30,000 Soul Mending and Blood Rejuvenation potions each, totaling 210 million magic crystals," the alchemy puppet, as if on cue, broke Donovan's stupor.

Donovan could only smile wryly at the eccentricity of this shop owner.

During this trip, Donovan paid 1.31 billion magic crystals, which almost broke their family's cash flow.

After bidding farewell to the shop owner, he took Desmond and reported in detail what had happened to the family.

...

"Grandpa, there are no more potions to sell. What do we do?" Max asked, looking at the empty shop.

"We didn't help at all. You're a liar, Grandpa," Sam said, who was nearly two years old, imitating his outspoken older brother, Max.

"Uh..." Edward didn't know what to do for a while.

"Shut up, you two!" Lily, the eldest sister, said.

"But we were only-" Before Max could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him.

"Enough, Max. You're already so old, yet you're still playful."

"Uh, I'm sorry, Grandpa," Max immediately admitted his fault upon seeing that both his eldest brother and sister were against him.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa," Sam also said, imitating his brother.

"It's alright. Grandpa has nothing to do now that the shop is out of products to sell. How about we play outside?" Edward suggested.

He could also take this time to investigate the surroundings since it would be the host's money farm.

"Yay!" The little kids celebrated.

"You should tell your mothers first," Edward said with a smile.

...

On the second floor of Jewel Crown Pavilion...

Maximus' wives were busy studying various knowledge related to their professions.

Isabella, looking at them, didn't know what to do for a while. After all, she was an outsider.

Erica noticed Isabella's discomfort and thought about the task assigned by her husband.

She noticed that her husband was infatuated with Isabella's beauty but couldn't be straightforward with her.

Her husband had mentioned something about it being hard to get or something that she didn't understand.

"Didn't their husband married them like picking vegetables? Why the hesitation?" Erica thought in puzzlement.

"Isabella, what do you think of our husband?" Erica asked.

This caught the attention of the other women in the room who were originally busy with their own things.

"This..." Isabella was speechless.

"Do you have to ask such an embarrassing question?" Isabella thought fiercely in her heart.

"He's alright," Isabella replied, pretending to be ignorant.

"Then why don't you marry him?" Erica, without hesitation, promoted her husband.

Isabella just blushed and didn't say anything.

She also developed feelings for Maximus, especially during this time.

Maximus was often flirtatious and ambiguous with her.

If she didn't notice these hints, then she could just smash a brick on her head.

But being at her age, she was self-conscious and sensitive about relationships between men and women.

Seeing that Isabella didn't answer her question, Erica just regarded it as silent confirmation.

"Also, these are battle videos that my husband left for you. He said you were quite talented in the ways of battle," Erica said as she handed Isabella a photo stone that recorded the videos.

"Thank you." Isabella didn't say anything more and just accept it sincerely.

Isabella also felt that she was quite talented in battling.

In the Battle Colosseum previously, she ranked in the top 10 on the first day.

If they hadn't left, she felt that she could have climbed even higher in the rankings.

The reason she was only given the battle videos now was because Maximus told Isabella that she should focus more on refining her body before the academy test.

After all, strength is king. What more do you need when you can just crush your opponents?

However, knowing that he would be away for a few days, he left the photo stone with Erica at night.

...

While they were immersed in their own worlds, a knocking sound came from the door.

"Mother!"

"Mom!"

"Mommy!"

"What happened?" Erica asked, not knowing what had happened.

"Grandpa Edward said to take us to play!" Max said excitedly.

"Play? Is it safe?" Hazel asked worriedly.

"It should be safe," Erica said confidently.

Erica then began to explain the protection measures of the Arcane Continent.

The women in the room sighed in relief after knowing that it was safe.

"Do you want to join in?" Erica asked, looking at them.

"No, you should go. I want to read more about array formation," Rose said.

"I'm also going to read more about music composing," Luna said.

The others also didn't go, hoping to study more before the test so as not to be a burden to their husbands.

"Then you should go. Be sure to be safe." Erica gave them a hug, confident in their safety.

They noticed that their husband's teacher was quite fond of children, so they weren't that worried about the other party.

They also trusted their husbands very much.

If their husbands said that jumping into a pit was safe, then they would jump without hesitation.

This was also the hidden benefit of the system.

Slowly but surely, unless Maximus did anything to betray their trust, they would remain forever loyal to him, despite all the trials and tribulations.
