The woman contemplated things for a moment before retrieving her aura and trying a different approach.
“Maybe I was rushing to a conclusion, please calm your anger and tell me what happened young man, if you are right then I will seek justice for you”.
Aster proceeded to tell in a loud voice the situation with the drinks, he even brought the cups containing the tea so that the old woman could judge by herself if he was lying, as the story progressed the old woman’s face turned black judging by what she heard and saw, an employee of her restaurant actually poisoned the drinks of a client, before she could say anything Kail shouted.
“I’m not related with that imaginary story; senior don’t believe him he is just trying to frame me I don’t have any poison on me!! If you don’t believe me, you can look in my spatial ring, I don’t have anything to hide”.
Aster heard him and he turned to see the clients that were on the restaurant before asking.
Is there an alchemist here?
After a second the old man that Aster met at the Ghale materials store approached.
I’m an alchemist what is the problem young man?
Aster smiled.
“Well, this piece of trash is trying to deny that he added poison my drinks, the herb used to poison the tea is the black thorned mulberry can senior confirm this?”.
The old man smelled the tea and nodded.
“Yes there is definitely some of that added to this tea”.
Aster turned to see the old woman.
“Just to confirm, the black thorned mulberry is not an ingredient of this tea, right?”.
The woman immediately replied.
“Of course not!!”.
Aster nodded and then he asked the old man, “as an alchemist senior surely knows that the black thorned mulberry leaves a mark that is only visible under the light of a candle when it’s juices touch something right?”.
The old man nodded again.
“Yes, even though it is not a common thing to know, someone that works with runes can also confirm that black thorned mulberry is an ingredient used on the fabrication of certain kinds of ink due to that property”.
Aster took a candle from a table near him and approached it to Kail hands, and then a stain became visible on his left hand, Aster looked at Kail and with a sarcastic voice said.
“Well, third young master of the Rein family just because you are an idiot you shouldn’t believe that everyone else is the same”.
Kail panicked and started throwing a tantrum.
“This is a farse!!!, you are all inventing all this just to frame me I bet that old fart is lying I know he is from the Ghale family just like that blue haired woman that was with you so of course he will agree to whatever you say”.
Aster had grin on his face, this idiot fell into his trap.
“Well, if you believe that what I told is all a lie then drink this tea, we will wait 5 minutes and if nothing happens, I will let you go, not only that but I will apologize for accusing you, what do you think?”.
Aster saw him doubting and added.
“Is that or you die right here right now, I’m fine with either of the options so what would it be?”.
The old woman saw that things were getting out of hand so she tried to mediate, even if she was not afraid of the Rein family dealing with the aftermath of what was about to happen will be a pain in the ass, in her mind she was cursing the waiter that involved her restaurant in all this situation.
“Young man, how about how about you leave this guy in my custody while I call a representative of the Rein clan to negotiate a compensation?”.
Aster turned to see the old woman and he replied in a ridiculing tone.
“You can try to stop me if you want, I wouldn’t mind destroying this place together with this idiot”.
The old woman was speechless it’s been a long time since someone dared to speak to her like that, but hearing this kid’s way to speak he didn’t put her nor the Rein family in his eyes, she a Star Axys realm cultivator was being treated like air!!!.
Aster wasn’t bragging, the coat he was wearing was reinforced with protection talismans that Lilia had made, and in any case he still had Pollux’s invincibility effect, 10 seconds was enough time to kill Kail Rein and deal with whatever will happen after that.
Tsk, i’m still depending too much on mom, the next time i will use my own strenght to solve things he thought, Aster was not stubborn enough to not use the resources that he had at hand, but always depending on external things is a bad habit that can lead to death so he decided to only use the things that Lilia gave him if the situation demanded it.
The old woman sighed and shook her head.
“The new generations will surpass the old ones, I will no longer interfere, do what you want young man”.
For a moment only silence remained on the restaurant.
