After stumbling to his feet, an ominous glint appeared in Mason's eyes. He raised the magic staff in his hand, and the gem at the top emitted fierce mana fluctuations.
"You can try." Lin Yun had already walked over. Although he had a smile on his face, the mana fluctuations in the surroundings let everyone know that if Mason dared to make a move, this young mage definitely wouldn't be polite.
"Merlin, you came at the right time!" Seeing Lin Yun come over, Mason didn't dare to make a move against the old butler, but his attitude was still overbearing. "I originally saw your Gilded Rose opening, so I kindly brought my friend over to take care of your business, but I hadn't expected you to sell fake goods. Now that my friend drank your potion, there's something wrong with it. Tell me how you should compensate me!"
"I know that this Dragon's Eye is pretty good, but you don't need to raise it so high for me to see …" After Lin Yun came over, he first pushed aside Mason's magic staff before slowly asking, "Which potion did your friend drink that caused the problem?"
"It's that Health Potion!" Mason answered without hesitation, because he had asked around before coming. Health Potions were truly first-rate potions, and the number of Alchemists that could compound Health Potions in Thousand Sails City could be counted on one hand. Their status was so high that the current Gilded Rose couldn't afford to hire them.
Moreover, he had just seen that Health Potion, and it was dark red …
Only failed Health Potions would be dark red.
"Take a look yourself, you've already drunk more than half a bottle, but your injury hasn't improved at all, and the wound that had already healed has started bleeding again!" Mason said as he had his subordinates bring a stretcher over.
Lying on the stretcher was a young man in his late twenties. He was injured on his right arm, and after the bandage was removed, a long and deep wound could be seen. From the bloodstains around the wound, it could be seen that it had indeed healed before splitting open again.
"I know you don't have much money right now, you can't even pay your uncle's debt, but can't you just say that you don't have any money? For the sake of our past friendship, I'll go back and ask my father to help you out, won't it be fine? Is there a need to use fake potions to deceive people? " Mason had a pained expression on his face, but he was inwardly rejoicing. Didn't you dare to make me lose face in the Sage Tower? Today, not only will I smash your broken store, I'll also make you lose face in front of everyone.
That's right, I spent a few hundred gold coins to find this so-called friend. I was also the one who helped him open up the wound on his right arm. As for that so-called Health Potion of yours, I've already gotten someone to pour away more than half of it. The remaining half should be enough as evidence. When the time comes, with both witnesses and material evidence, you're definitely going to be the scapegoat!
What? You're saying that your Health Potion is real?
'What a joke, deceiving others is fine, but deceiving me is just a dream. The Twin Moons chamber of commerce has a Great Alchemist, and he patted his chest and guaranteed that the dark red Health Potion is definitely a failed product.
"Then what do you want?"
"I don't have anything, but my friend suffered such a huge loss. Shouldn't your Gilded Rose show some expression? My suggestion is very simple. First, compensate my friend with a sum of money. I think ten thousand gold should be fine. You can't take out more than that, and if it's less, it'll seem insincere. Second, publicly apologize to him, admit that your Gilded Rose's fake potion caused him harm, and guarantee that the same thing will never happen again. "
Even Mason himself felt that these two conditions were too harsh. The entire Thousand Sails City knew that the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce had gone bankrupt, and Locke Merlin's son couldn't even pay back his uncle's debt of three thousand gold. How could he take out ten thousand gold as compensation? Not to mention, he still had to publicly apologize and admit that he had sold a fake potion. That would be a huge loss of face. In the future, Mafa Merlin wouldn't be able to raise his head in Thousand Sails City.
Naturally, Mason was already prepared to haggle when he put forward these two conditions. When the time came, it would be fine as long as he stuck to the second condition. As for the compensation of ten thousand gold, it didn't matter. In any case, he didn't lack that bit of money. The most important thing was to make that kid thoroughly lose face.
"Sure, our Gilded Rose opened our doors to do business. If there was a problem with that Health Potion, then compensation and an apology is something that should be done." Who would have thought that Lin Yun would be so straightforward and agree without even thinking about it.
"Ah?" Even Mason, who always wanted to embarrass Lin Li, could not help but be stunned at this moment. He thought to himself, It can't be. I have prepared a lot of things that I haven't said yet. Why did this kid agree to it just like that?
'But forget it, it's better to save some energy.'
"Since that's the case, hurry up and take care of this matter. Compensate what needs to be compensated, apologize what needs to be apologized. I still have things to do, so I won't be long-winded with you."
"Hey, Mage Mason, did you not hear me clearly? What I said was, if there is a problem with that Health Potion … You should understand what I mean, right? That is, if … "
"What do you mean?" Mason's expression turned gloomy.
"It looks like you really don't understand …" Lin Yun regretfully shook his head, silently criticizing Noscent's compulsory education standards. He then patiently explained to Mason, "What I mean is, if there is a problem with that Health Potion, we will definitely have to compensate and apologize. But if there is no problem with that Health Potion, I wonder what Mage Mason plans to do?"
"No problem?" Mason lowered his head and looked at the remaining half of the Health Potion. That dazzling dark red color once again strengthened his resolve. "If there is no problem with this Health Potion, I'll eat the whole bottle!"
"Good …" Lin Yun nodded and waved at an employee who was hiding the furthest away. "Hey, can I trouble you to come over?"
"Ah?" That employee seemed to be in his twenties, and his body was emitting faint mana fluctuations. He was probably a Magic Apprentice who had just started. Nothing could be done about it, as learning magic was very costly. If an ordinary person didn't have a family like Mafa Merlin or Mason, they simply wouldn't be able to handle that huge expenditure. Thus, most Magic Apprentices would find a job to reduce their burden.
"Oh, right, what's your name?"
"Boss, I'm Remy."
"Very good, Remy. Are you willing to increase your salary by a hundred gold coins starting next month? If you are willing, roll up your sleeves … "
"Ah?" Although the young Magic Apprentice rolled up his sleeves, his mind was a mess. His current salary was only a hundred gold coins. How could he double it just by rolling up his sleeves? Wasn't that too illogical?
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right hand, which he had rolled up his sleeve.
"Hiss …" Remy sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked down and discovered that the boss had used a knife to cut open a deep wound on his right arm.
'Damn, I knew it wouldn't be that easy to double my salary …'
"Okay, now help me taste this Health Potion …" Lin Yun said as he handed over the remaining half of the Health Potion. "Don't look, drink it while it's hot. I still have something to do."
