The crowd looked at Tyrion’s four bottles of serum. The appearance of the serum looked exactly like a high-grade serum. It was hard to believe that Tyrion owned such a high grade serum, as he was only a mere commoner.
The high-grade serum was a symbol of status. Those who could afford to purchase the high grade serum must be rich or noble in status.
“Hmm, the evidence all points to you, yet you are still denying everything. Arrest him, Enforcers.” General Manager Briston snorted.
“Wait!” Tyrion snorted and gave a sarcastic look. He then said, “These four bottles of enhanced Atomic Serum are my own creation and have twice the efficacy of a normal grade Atomic Serum. There is no else in this world who can refine it. What’s more, I would like to ask these two enforcer Enforcers, has anyone reported the theft of any enhanced Atomic Serum?”
Tyrion looked at the two Enforcers, not blinking. Enforcer Smith’s and Enforcer Noston’s facial expressions changed. Truly, they had not received any such report.
“Just because there was no report of theft does not imply that no theft was committed. Maybe the owner has yet to discover that their items are missing, or perhaps the owner was just about to make a report!” sputtered one of the Enforcers in defense.
Nicole suddenly said, “Just because you claim that it’s an enhanced Atomic Serum doesn’t mean that it is true! You mean to tell us that you created this new grade of serum all by yourself? Even an experienced Chemist can’t guarantee that he can create a new grade of serum!”
Everyone at the scene sneered and felt that Tyrion was a fool, as it was uncommon for someone to be able to create a new grade of serum. Even if an experienced Chemist was to spend a lifetime on research, he might not necessarily be successful in his attempts. Hence, any Chemist that could accomplish such a feat would surely become instantly famous.
Such a famous Chemist would then be considered a VIP. Yet, no matter how they looked at Tyrion, he did not look at all like a VIP! Thus, they concluded that all that Tyrion had said earlier was a lie.
“Once you have tried it, you will see!” said Tyrion coldly.
Groode did not believe Tyrion either. He frowned as he looked at the four bottles of enhanced Atomic Serum. He could not tell if they were authentic, as he had never seen such a high grade of serum before.
“Show me those serums,” said Groode coldly.
Levlyn said in an awkward tone, “Mr. Groode, the goods have been consigned and cannot be tried unless they are first purchased.”
Groode raised one eyebrow and laughed. “What if the goods on sale are fake?”
“If it is a fake, the consignor will be blacklisted by the Chamber of Commerce Union, thus no longer being able to sell or purchase any items. At the same time, we will call the enforcer, who will then give due punishment and impose additional compensation fees,” Nicole responded immediately.
“Young lad, listen carefully. If you turn yourself in now, you will only face charges for impersonating a Chemist and theft. The consequences will be much worse if you keep insisting on having your way,” Enforcer Smith warned.
However, Tyrion looked calm and relaxed.
“I would like to see if this bottle of serum is really as magical as you claim.” Groode paid 50,000 death points, without battling his eyelids.
“Mr. Groode, here’s your serum.” Levlyn politely took it out and gave it to Groode. At the same time, Tyrion was prompted to collect the money.
“Your consignment at Tronic mall was successful. The sales total is 50,000 death points. After deduction of the handling fee of 5,000, the remaining 45,000 has been wired to your account. Your account is now successfully credited with 45,000 death points…”
Tronic mall charged a 10% handling fee for consigned goods. However, the remaining 45,000 death points was a huge sum to Tyrion! Plus, these were his first earnings from the sale of the serum!
At this point, the crowd looked at Tyrion with sarcasm and pity. Before the deal was done, Tyrion would still have one more chance to turn himself in and plead for leniency.
“Young lad, now it’s too late for you to regret your refusing to deal with me,” Nicole whispered sarcastically to Tyrion. His voice was only loud enough to be heard between themselves.
At this point, Groode picked up the enhanced Atomic Serum and drank it in one gulp. After a while, he still showed no response.
In normal circumstances, one would be able to absorb the Cosmic force around him after taking in the Atomic Serum. However, it had no such effect on him. This suggested to him that the serum was fake.
“Ha ha ha, now that the evidence is conclusive, how can you deny it?” Nicole asked, as he laughed with pride.
“Stealing serum, impersonating as a pharmacist, selling counterfeit drugs and fraud. Mr. Tyrion, please come with us to the enforcer station,” Enforcer Smith said in a harsh tone.
“How dare you sell stolen goods and counterfeit medicines at Tronic mall. You have been blacklisted by the Chamber of Commerce Union. At the same time, Tronic mall will seek compensation for damaging our reputation,” General Manager Briston said coldly.
Levlyn sighed empathetically. Paying the fine was not a big deal. What mattered more was that Tyrion would probably be spending the best years of his life in jail now. The Enforcer stepped forward and picked up his handcuffs, ready to arrest Tyrion.
“So hungry!” Just then, with a sudden loud cry, Groode threw out a compressed capsule. A piece of roasted Dimensional Beast’s meat appeared in front of the crowd. Groode immediately picked up the piece of meat and gnawed at it, not caring what he looked like.
Tyrion observed the energy that was being emitted by that piece of meat. He predicted that it was likely a piece of Dimensional Beast’s meat with a level of 100% cell activation.
Soon, Groode finished eating the whole piece of meat. Then, he ignored the reactions of the people and began to practice the energy absorption method.
Groode’s energy absorption method was much more advanced than Tyrion’s fundamental practices of energy absorption. It was at least an intermediate level.
