Chapter 386: Was Left for Investigation

A moment later, Morris chuckled, as though he understood what Audrey meant.

“What are you laughing at? Could it be that you’ve understood something?” He noticed Morris’ expression, Kate asked with a slight frown. It was not a good feeling to have someone else understand while he was still confused. Furthermore, that person was Audrey. He felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

Morris nodded thoughtfully. He stroked his chin with one hand and said, “Audrey wants to stay here and take this opportunity to find out what secrets are hidden here. Only by completely resolving the crisis here can Spark City be safe.”

“I see. You’re smart to understand Audrey’s thoughts so quickly.” Cole acted as if he had suddenly realized something. He smiled and praised her, feeling relieved in his heart. “Good thinking, Audrey.”

With that, they did not have to rush out.

However, it did not seem normal for them to remain here calmly. Thus, they still pretended to look for a way out nearby. Unfortunately, they did not find it either, so it was only natural for them to stay.

From Audrey’s observation, this was an even more concealed basement. The surroundings were not connected to the outside world, so there was not any sunlight. There was only faint candlelight in the room.

Since she had already stayed behind, she might as well calm down and wait for the man to make his move.

It was useless to be anxious here.

Audrey’s only worry was whether the man would send wild beasts to attack the city at this moment. Since they were not around, the city might not be able to handle it.

Seeing that Audrey seemed to have something on her mind, Morris took the initiative to approach her and asked in a low voice, “Are you worried about Spark City?”

“Yes.” Audrey nodded and looked at Morris with a complicated look in her eyes.

Every time, he seemed to be able to see through her thoughts at once, which surprised and shocked her. However, this seemed to be a good thing.

“It’ll be fine. There are many experts in the city,” Morris comforted her. He was originally an insignificant person in Spark City. However, ever since he got to know Audrey and the others, he had also learned about the upper circles, the sense of responsibility on his shoulders grew stronger.

Hearing this, Audrey sighed softly and pursed her lips. “I hope so.”

A few of her teammates had also roughly heard the conversation between the two of them, so they said one after another, “Don’t worry. We’ve already contacted our families. Tell them to guard Spark City well.”

“Oh?” Audrey frowned. She was very puzzled.

“We all have methods that the family has given us to communicate through space,” Adrian explained casually.

“Although the five great families are usually competitors and have endless conflicts, Starfire city is in danger. They will definitely join forces to face the outside world. This way, it will also better reflect the strength and status of their families, right?”

“That’s right. As long as it involves strength and status, the five great families will not give in,” Kate said half-jokingly. His tone also revealed a hint of helplessness. This was also the pursuit of benefits by the family.

However, the pursuit of benefits had only injured so many people. Was Audrey not one of them?

As for himself, he was in the Davis family, but he was powerless.

Thinking of this, Kate felt extremely guilty.

“I understand,” Audrey said with a helpless smile as she listened to the chattering analysis of the few of them.

During the days they were locked in the basement, the few of them often discussed family and cultivation matters. Audrey would occasionally interrupt them, but most of the time, she would close her eyes to rest and think of ways to improve.

Two days later, the man found Audrey again and brought her to the laboratory.

“What do you want to do now?” Audrey looked at him coldly and said stiffly.

“Refine it according to this.” The man handed Audrey a piece of paper. On it was written a rough refining method. Audrey took a glance and understood it.

She had read about this formula in an ancient book. It was a type of medicine that could increase a person’s strength rapidly. It could last for about half an hour.

The man actually wanted to refine this.

“Since you already have the formula, why don’t you refine it yourself?” Audrey sneered and said sarcastically, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know anything and that this laboratory is just a decoration?”

These words seemed to have touched the man’s reverse scale. His eyes instantly darkened as he looked at Audrey with hatred. He angrily rebuked, “Shut up! I’m the strongest alchemist.”

Strongest?

Audrey felt disdain in her heart. Although the forbidden potions he wanted to refine were not something an ordinary person could refine, a high-level alchemist would definitely be able to do it.

Since the man could not refine them, he could not be considered a high-level alchemist, so what was there to talk about being the strongest.

“The potions you refined are all forbidden potions. There’s no formula at all. The records in the book are only a general one. If you make a mistake, it would be fatal,” Audrey said indifferently.

However, she was not exaggerating.

Alchemy was a dangerous thing, to begin with. Explosions often happened.

“I believe you can do it.” The man smiled playfully and looked at Audrey with a meaningful look. “If you make a mistake, you’ll be in danger. Your companions won’t have an easy time either.”

Another threat!

Audrey’s eyes darkened, and the aura around her turned cold. She glanced at the man from the corner of her eyes, displeased. Then, she smiled faintly. “Of course I won’t make a mistake.”

In her previous life, she had refined all kinds of potions, not to mention these.

“Then let’s begin,” the man said as he stared at Audrey from the side.

Audrey snorted coldly. She knew that the man was not very powerful from the few probing words she had said to him. If she did something, he probably would not be able to tell.

Audrey was on guard against the man as she refined the potion. From time to time, she would mix in some mistakes, but it would not affect the efficacy of the potion.
