Chapter 3357
"Mattham mentioned earlier that he would follow the rules and wait till the test was over, only then he would ask Hafiz to take Fade away to cooperate with the investigation. However, Fade had passed the five star alchemist test and it would be too difficult for Hafiz to take him away even if it was over.
After all, a five star alchemist was quite a precious existence within the Alchemist Association.
As a five star alchemist, even if he did commit any crime, the City Guards wouldn't dare to arrest him most of the time.
In Wood Fragrance City, the Mayor Mansion wasn't the most powerful, but it was the Alchemist Association.
However, to make Mattham admit that in front of everyone, wouldn't it be like slapping him in the face? This was something that Mattham couldn't accept.
Therefore, he stayed silent and did not know what to say for a while.
For a moment, everyone looked at Mattham, waiting for him to make a decision.
However, Mattham's face looked gloomy and he did not speak after a long time.
Almost when everyone couldn't wait any longer, Mattham raised his head and looked at Fade, saying, "Mr. Chen, you're a five-star alchemist now, but even if you're part of the Alchemist Association, you're also a member of Wood Fragrance City." "In that case, we should still abide by the rules of Wood Fragrance City. Hence, Mr. Chen, you still have to leave with Mr. Huang." Fade's eyes darkened when he heard those words.
There was an uproar happening around. Devon couldn't sit still and said, "Mr. Chiang, Mr. Chen is a five-star alchemist, you..."
But before Devon could even finish his words, Mattham added, "Of course, you'll just be cooperating with the investigation. I believe that the City Guards and the Wood Fragrance Trading will handle this fairly."
"Mr. Chen, when you come back, I will personally welcome you."
What he meant was that he wanted Fade to cooperate to go to the City Guards and cooperate with the investigation.
As for Mr. Liang of the Wood Fragrance Trading, Mattham would handle it.
In that way, Mattham still kept his pride, and Fade's trouble was also solved. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Many of the people present were smart. After thinking for a while, they also understood the meaning in Mattham's words.
Even Devon kept his mouth shut at that moment.
Many other people began to whisper in surprise.
Junior Alchemy Master, Mattham's words were actually showing that he was taking a step back. There weren't many people in the Alchemist Association who could make him give in.
At that moment, many alchemists were amazed at this scene as a newcomer like Fade was able to make the Junior Alchemy Master back down.
Therefore, many alchemists looked at Fade, hinting that he agreed with Mattham's proposal to solve the problem.
If Fade was truly an ordinary alchemist who yearned to enter the Alchemist Association, he would probably nod his head and agree.
However, Fade wasn't interested in joining the Alchemist Association at all. Moreover, he was very disdainful of the fact that Mr. Liang of the Wood Fragrance Trading and Mattham were colluding with each other and taking advantage of others. Therefore, even though Fade understood what they meant, he did not agree.
Mattham frowned slightly and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Mr. Chen, don't you believe me?"
Hearing this, Fade showed a sarcastic smile, shook his head and said, "I only believe in myself."
"What do you mean?" Mattham looked at Fade with dissatisfaction.
Fade looked at the people around him and said with a smile, "Mr. Chiang, you've been talking so much since just now, but in the end, it's just because of my different identity."
"At first, they thought I was a nobody, so they just arrested me."
"After that, they came over and thought that I was a three star alchemist. However, the qualification was not considered very powerful and could just be abandoned. Therefore, they forcefully arrested me once again." "Later, after learning that I am a four- star alchemist, they began to hesitate."
"And now, when I become a five-star alchemist, the hesitation turned from an arrest to being a cooperation to the investigation."
"Speaking of which, I have always
been myself, and things have always been about the same issue. Just because my identity is different, your attitude has changed so much "if that's the case, why don't I go further and let some people keep their mouths shut?"
After hearing this, Mattham frowned and stared at Fade with dissatisfaction.
Many alchemists also shook their heads and sighed.
"He's still too young and daring!"
"The treatment changes when the status changes as well. This is a well-known hidden rule. There is no need to point it out."
"To be able to pass the five-star alchemist test at such a young age, it's inevitable for a young genius to be a little arrogant. After suffering a blow, he'll know to back down."
"However, by doing this, he's going against Mr. Chiang and it's going to cause him trouble."
In between all kinds of noisy
discussions, Mattham looked at Fade with dissatisfaction and unhappily, "What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Fade chuc I

and looked at the judges, "It's very simple. I want to participate in the six-star alchemist test."
His words made the crowd silent.
Then, almost everyone looked at Fade in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't hear wrongly, did I? You said that you want to participate in the six-star alchemist test?"
"Being a six-star alchemist is considered having a high position in our Alchemist Association. The difficulty is extraordinary!"
"The six-star test is far more dangerous than the five-star. Boy, don't be so irrational!"
Throughout the commotion, Fade looked indifferent, but his tone was particularly firm, "I'm sure!"
Seeing this, the few judges and alchemists stopped persuading him. Instead, they led Fade to the six-star alchemist examination room.
The onlookers also followed.
However, the test did not start immediately. Instead, they asked Fade to wait for a while.
Devon explained to Fade, "For ordinary alchemist examinations, those who are in charge of the examination like us basically end up just being five-star alchemists."
"With the addition of a few six-star alchemists on patrol, under normal circumstances, they will be in charge of the tests for those who are taking the one to five-star alchemist tests."
"Usually, this is more than enough. Most of the time, they would be completely eliminated even during the three-star alchemist test."
"But this time, since a weirdo like you appeared, there's not enough of us."
"The six-star alchemist test requires at least a seven-star alchemist to be the judge."
"As for the seven-star alchemists, they are all big shots within our Alchemist Association. They usually don't come to take charge of this kind of examination. Therefore, we have no choice but to invite them over at the last minute." After listening to the explanation, Fade nodded in understanding and thanked Devon.
Hafiz, who followed the crowd, felt that things were getting more and more tricky.
He had only been following the orders of the Mayor and was told to just come and arrest someone.
From his point of view, this should
have been an extremely simple matter, but who would have thought that things would become more and more complicated? The person who should be getting arrested had risen all the way from a three-star to a five-star alchemist and he was preparing to participate in the six-star alchemist test.
If he really managed to pass, Hafiz could never take him back by then.
At that time, it would be quite impossible to arrest him even if Mr. Liang had come to the Alchemist Association personally."
