Chapter 2825 The Competition Begins

Jared did not persuade Gregory further, knowing the reason behind the latter's words.

After all, Mr. Stark is a Fifth Level Top Tier alchemist, so he should know if there's something wrong with his health.

Meanwhile, Roderick felt giddy inside when he noticed Gregory and the others looking disoriented and pallid.

However, the sight of Jared chatting merrily with a clear intellect left him perplexed.

Roderick stood up and shot Pearl a look.

The latter hurriedly followed him outside while Gregory was distracted.

Jared saw Pearl running after Roderick but decided not to voice it out.

“Did Jared take the drug, Pearl?” Roderick asked.

“Yes. At that time, I put it in the pot and witnessed Jared and my masters drinking the coffee with my own eyes. How can there be any mistake?” Pearl said with a firm expression.

“That's strange. Why is this guy not displaying any signs of poisoning?”

Roderick knitted his brows with a puzzled look on his face.

“Roderick, could it be that everyone's physique is different, so the effect of the drug is also different?” Pearl suggested.

“It's possible. Since he's taken the medicine, there's nothing to worry about. The first place in this competition will surely be mine.”

A smile tugged at Roderick's lips.

“Roderick, after you win first place this time, you must remember your promise to take me far, far away!” Pearl reminded as she held his hand.

“Don't worry. You're already mine. Who else will I take with me other than you?”

Roderick's tender caress of her face delighted her.

About an hour later, several melodious bells chimed, and everyone in the hall stood up.

“The competition is about to begin, Mr. Chance. Let's make our way to Alchemy Square,” Gregory said to Jared.

“After you, Mr. Stark,” responded Jared, extending his arm in a polite gesture.

The group of people left the hall and headed to Alchemy Square.

At that moment, the surroundings of the large square were already full of people, all of whom came to enjoy the show.

“The contestant waiting area is off to the side. If you would excuse me, Mr. Chance.”

As judges, Gregory and the others were required to go on stage, while Jared and his group needed to wait below.

Jared flashed him a smile. “Please, go ahead, Mr. Stark.”
