"Master, has someone discovered what's going on here?" Stills asked immediately upon returning to the secret chamber.

"I don't know, but something just broke through the barrier. As for what's inside the other two secret chambers, I don't know whether that's been discovered too," the old man said uncertainly, his expression grim.

"Then what should we do?" Stills grew somewhat flustered and said anxiously, "If the Saint Family finds out we've been doing these things behind their backs, we'll never escape their pursuit!"

"What are you panicking for?" the old man snapped. He slowly sat down, thought for a moment, and ordered, "Move everything incriminating out of here immediately. I'll have to lie low for a while too! Don't worry. Even if the Saint Family caused that disturbance just now, I believe they won't act recklessly without evidence. But I don't think whoever came was from the Saint Family. Otherwise, they couldn't possibly have withdrawn. Given how their family has always operated in Shadow City, if it really were them, they would already have attacked while the evidence was still here."

"You're right, Master. I'll go make preparations immediately." The old man's analysis let Stills breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go. Move everything incriminating out of those secret chambers as quickly as possible. Don't alert the pharmacists who came for the exchange." The old man nodded.

Knowing the situation was urgent, Stills immediately left the secret chamber and hurried off to deal with the other chambers.

Guli from Phantom City was clutching her hair in frustration. She tossed another thick book on alchemy aside and cursed loudly, "That brat must have been talking nonsense! Those potion names don't exist at all. He must have made them up! A fraud, that damned fraud! I'm going to demand an explanation!"
