The Genius Mage

Chapter 387: Eavesdropping in the Corner

Based on her understanding of the man, he would definitely not try it first. Just like last time, he had found a lab rat first.

Thus, the first potion that Audrey refined was all correct. She gave the man a blue liquid.

“Come here!” The man took it and narrowed his eyes. Then, he beckoned to a person guarding the door not far away.

“Marshal, what are your orders?”

Marshal?

Audrey frowned. Could this person be one of the three great marshals of the Carol Association? With his ability to scheme against people, he seemed to be quite similar to the mysterious person dressed in royal blue.

“Drink this,” the marshal said firmly as he handed the potion that Audrey had just refined to that person.

That person hesitated for a moment before he immediately took it and drank it fearfully. Following that, he felt the energy in his body surging.

The marshal looked at the man in surprise. As if to test him, he threw a punch. At that moment, the man raised his hand to block it and grabbed the marshal’s fist, leaving him no room to attack.

The marshal used a lot of strength, but it was all in vain.

He was very satisfied with this test.

“Very good!” The marshal said with a smile. Even the man looked surprised as if he did not expect that he would become so strong one day.

“You’ve done very well. Continue refining.” The marshal looked at Audrey, a hint of joy in his eyes as he said excitedly.

Hearing this, Audrey snorted, a crafty look flashing in her eyes.

In the subsequent refining, Audrey had secretly done something. Although drinking this potion could increase a person’s strength for a short period of time, after the effects of the potion wore off, a person would slowly feel powerless. It was likely that they would not be able to recover in a few days.

If a person took it frequently, their strength would gradually decline, and they would not be as strong as before.

To Audrey, alchemy was a piece of cake. After a short while, she finished refining all the potions according to the marshal’s request.

Seeing those potions, the marshal’s eyes lit up. The desire in his eyes made Audrey feel afraid.

This person’s ambition was really too great.

“Men, bring her back.”

Two men in black walked over and were about to grab Audrey. Audrey immediately gave them a fierce glance. “I can walk on my own.”

As soon as she said that, she took the lead and walked out of the laboratory. The two men still followed closely behind. Audrey took a few quick steps before she suddenly turned around. With a wave of her hand, she sprinkled some powder.

When the two of them smelled it, they immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Audrey smiled playfully. She had kept this powder for a long time. She did not expect it to come in handy here.

She quickly escaped and returned to the entrance of the laboratory to observe every move inside.

The marshal was still staring at the potions just now. He looked very excited. He opened a bottle of potion and poured it into his mouth almost crazily. Then, he reached out his hand and mobilized the power in his body.

A powerful demonic aura attacked her. Audrey’s heart sank as she stared at the man, wanting to see what he was trying to do.

At this moment, another person appeared in the laboratory. However, he did not enter through the door. Instead, he came out from another room that was the same as the laboratory.

“Marshal, the development has failed again.” The person came out with a dejected look on his face. He frowned and said in a low voice.

“Trash!” Upon hearing this, the marshal was instantly enraged. He waved his hand and threw a slap. The man was slapped to the ground, his face red and swollen.

“With the soul-absorbing potion and the potion that has greatly increased my strength, we only need that potion. Our plan can begin.”

What was that potion? Audrey was puzzled.

“Why…why didn’t you let Audrey refine this potion as well?” The man on the ground asked with a trembling voice. With their standards, they could not refine such a potion.

“What do you think?” Hearing this, the marshal seemed to be even angrier. He bent down and stared at the man. He said angrily, “She cultivates battle Qi. How can she refine a potion of demonic Qi? Pig brain!”

“Yes…”

“I’ll give you two months. If you still can’t refine it, you’ll be swimming with the fishes!” The marshal snorted coldly and said with a ruthless look in his eyes.

The man immediately trembled, nodded repeatedly, and left in fear.

Audrey stood at the door, still confused. She did not understand what the marshal meant?

What kind of potion could only be refined by people who cultivated demonic Qi?

Even the forbidden soul capturing potion and the potion that could greatly increase one’s strength did not have such stringent requirements.

Audrey could not figure it out for a moment. Then, she vaguely heard a voice coming from afar. It seemed like the two had just woken up from her coma. Audrey hurriedly returned to the basement.

Following that, the two men in black went to the laboratory noisily. They shouted, “Commander, it’s bad. Audrey has escaped.”

“Escaped? Are the guards worthless!?” Upon hearing this, the marshal’s eyes were immediately filled with a layer of anger. He sent out a demonic aura and the two men fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

“She drugged us and then disappeared. She must have escaped. We were worried that she had run far away, so we immediately came to look for you.” The two men in black continued to explain, hoping that they could exchange their lives.

“I’ll settle the score with you guys later!” The marshal’s eyes tensed up as he left the laboratory in a hurry, heading toward the basement where Audrey and the others were being held.

If Audrey disappeared, her companions would not be able to leave alive either!

The marshal rushed into the basement angrily. He was originally looking for Audrey’s companions to force Audrey out, but he did not expect to see Audrey the moment he entered.
