Chapter 442 - "Anti-charm"
The alchemists seemed unaffected by Ainsley's charm ability. They kept their arrogant nature and cold face, until Ainsley couldn't help but notice their reaction.
The baby's face instantly darkened.
What is this? How come they show no reaction to my charm ability? Are they not affected at all?
But...my charm ability always works for everyone! Are they a special case, or?
No matter what the reason, Ainsley was sure that the alchemists didn't feel her charm ability effect at all.
Without her charm ability, she couldn't easily manipulate the alchemists to give her the potion business license.
Relying on her naturally cute face?
Even when she's naturally cute, the alchemists were all arrogant creatures, full of themselves.
The alchemists wouldn't easily submit to others just because someone is cute.
So what if this baby is cute and a prodigy? She's not an alchemist. She's beneath us, the alchemists. Hmph!
Seeing the alchemists and Harry didn't change their behaviour, Ainsley could only smile stiffly as she looked at Harry.
"Uncle Harry, as I've stated before in my message, I come here to register my potion business." Ainsley immediately changed the way she speaks.
She no longer used her baby language.
Why should she use a cutesy language when it won't work, anyway? That would only embarrass her.
Baby language is only for my fans! Hmph!
When Harry heard Ainsley's way of speaking, he was a bit taken aback by the sudden change.
The middle-aged man secretly knitted his eyebrows.
Why did she change her way of speaking? She sounded more mature and stern now…
Harry felt his heart thumping loudly inside his chest.
Despite his status, he still couldn't look down at Ainsley...because she's the current hot sensation in mafia society.
Don't underestimate her just because she's a baby.
Harry knew very well how strong the baby was from the battle videos...and that's why he brought five combat alchemists to accompany him!
Facing Ainsley's mature speaking style and her stern attitude, Harry could only keep his fake smile and nodded.
"Yes, Lady Sloan, I've heard about your request. But first, can you describe the potion business that you want to start?"
The middle-aged man tugged the collar of his robe before continuing.
"Also, please show me your potion sample."
"Oh, okay. Here's the details." Ainsley took out a stack of paper from her necklace and handed it to Harry. The papers contained the business proposal that the baby wanted to start.
"Oh, thank you. I'll read this first." Harry kept that fake smile on his face as he read the paper while occasionally snuck a glance at Ainsley.
Indeed, the baby was as cute as the rumour, even more adorable than in her videos or news.
Even someone narcissistic and cold-hearted like him had to admit that the baby is adorable.
If she used her charm ability...there's no way he could resist.
Thinking like that, Harry looked back for a moment to look for the five young alchemists behind him.
As expected, the alchemists also showed a sign of idolising the baby even when they're trying to keep their arrogant nature outside.
Seeing this, Harry sighed to himself.
'Thank God the guild master warned us about Ainsley Sloan's charm ability…'
And that's why the guild master imported a rare potion from outside the region…
What's the name of the potion?
Anti-charm potion!
Yeah, you heard it right. It was a potion made to especially neutralise charm ability directed at the target.
When one drank the potion, they would be immune to charm ability and would have a cold heart for several hours.
Such a potion was quite rare that it wasn't allowed to be sold outside of the Alchemist Guild's business.
No other families or forces could sell the potions, and one could only produce 10 potions a month due to the rare ingredients needed.
However, when the guild master heard that Ainsley was going to visit them, he didn't hesitate to order 6 potions for those who would meet the baby.
Why would he go that far? Simply because the Roane Alchemist Guild's backer was one of the 7 sacred families.
The alchemist guild had many backers, and the Roane Guild got the backing of both the 7 great families and the 7 sacred families.
However, the current guild master was closer to the 7 sacred families' side. He knew about Ainsley's dispute with the Aretha Family, one of the 7 sacred families.
Thus, how could he support a potential enemy? No matter what, he wouldn't let his people give what Ainsley wanted!
And that's how Harry was selected, along with the other 5 combat alchemists.
All of them drank the anti-charm potions and became immune to Ainsley's charm ability!
Ainsley knew nothing about the conspiracy. She only carefully watched Harry as the man read her business proposal.
After Harry skimmed through the proposal, the first thing he said to the baby was straight to the point.
"Lady Sloan...you want to open a potion auction business?" Harry asked with his eyes wide. He's clearly in disbelief.
Someone is trying to hold a potion auction? Don't they know that even the branch alchemist guild can't do that??
"Yes, uncle. The potions I have are too rare to be sold normally. So...I have to auction them." Ainsley smiled politely, ignoring Harry's astonished gaze.
"I'll be auctioning 6 types of potions. Here's the sample, if you may." Ainsley took out 6 bottles of potion in various colours and lined them up on the table.
She didn't forget to put a sticky note on each bottle to tell the name of the potion along with the effect.
When Harry saw the dazzling potions he had never seen before, his jaws dropped to the floor.
These...these potions–
