Fulen saw Kvedo's slightly parted lips and felt a bit strange, so he asked, "Kvedo, is something wrong?"
Kvedo's expression changed, then he seemed to make up his mind, and with a familiar smile, he replied to Fulen, "Nothing much, I just heard that the key to a potion isn't in mastering its power, but in its name."
Fulen was momentarily stunned by Kvedo's words, feeling that Kvedo wasn't as simple as he had thought. However, Fulen didn't intend to delve deeper, as Kvedo was still his friend and harbored no ill will towards him, Karl, or Erich.
When it came to interacting with friends, Fulen had never thought of fully understanding their true circumstances. Everyone has their private space, and even Fulen himself concealed many secrets, but this didn't mean they couldn't become good friends. Seeking common ground while reserving differences was the way of friendship.
Although Kvedo certainly had secrets he kept from Fulen and Erich, and Fulen estimated this secret was quite significant, Fulen didn't want to investigate unless Kvedo chose to tell him.
Erich paused, glanced at Kvedo, a knowing look on his face, which quickly returned to calm.
Karl, however, was completely bewildered. He looked at the serious Kvedo with some confusion but, considering Kvedo was a Beyonder who had been active in the Beyonder world for several years, he could only nod, indicating he had remembered that point.
Fulen, seeing that Karl was temporarily missing the point, also said to Karl, "Although I haven't experienced much in the Beyonder world, my father once told me that the key to a potion lies in its name, and only then in the Beyonder ability it grants."
Fulen knew that the acting method wasn't a rare thing. After all, even if the Abraham Family was in decline, it was still a fallen Angel Family. The basic acting method was common knowledge, and because they had declined, they hadn't established "Secrecy" oaths like the major Churches.
Karl, seeing Fulen, who was said to be a Beyonder long ago, emphasize this point, knew that this sentence was his biggest gain from attending this Extraordinary Gathering. So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I've remembered it."
While the four of them were talking, the Extraordinary Gathering was nearing its end. However, as Fulen and Kvedo chatted idly, they suddenly heard the host say, "...Next, is a task."
The Iron Mask host paused, then looked at the people below and said, "The reward for this task is very generous, so I'm making it the final transaction of this gathering."
After confirming that all participants in the room were no longer speaking, the host continued, "The task is to find a member of the Abraham Family. Clues are worth 10 pounds. If you find or capture a member of the Abraham Family, the reward is the Sequence 9 'Assassin' potion formula and Beyonder materials..."
Although the participants below were somewhat tempted, they weren't overly excited. After all, those who could attend the Extraordinary Gathering were either already Beyonders or were brought in by Beyonders, so a Sequence 9 potion and formula didn't cause much of a stir.
The host continued, "...And a Sequence 8 potion formula, and a deep secret about the Potion Sequence."
This, however, caused an uproar among the Beyonders below. After all, the Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 potion formulas combined were worth between 600 and 1000 pounds, and the Beyonder materials were also worth around 600 pounds. Of course, what was even more exciting was the deep secret of the Potion Sequence; in the mysterious world, knowledge is power.
One person asked, "Mr. Kadeluosi, have these things you mentioned been notarized by you?"
Kadeluosi said, "Naturally. This task I've accepted was commissioned by a long-standing member of our Extraordinary Gathering. She came here in advance and made this transaction with me. Rest assured, a Sequence 8 and 9 formula and a Sequence 9 potion will not make me lie. I also know that secret. It's very important to you, worth over 1000 pounds."
The participants of the Extraordinary Gathering began to converse in low voices, as the reward for this task was quite generous.
Kadeluosi looked at the paper with the commissioned task and continued, "Task hint: The Abraham Family's Beyonder Pathway is 'Apprentice.' Of course, they've long since gone into hiding. They are a group of rats, so my suggestion is that when you find a Beyonder of the 'Apprentice' Pathway, tell me; it counts as a clue. Once that person is indeed a member of the Abraham Family, then congratulations, you will receive all rewards except the Sequence 8 potion formula. So, everyone, good luck."
As soon as Fulen heard the task to search for the Abraham Family, he knew it was issued by the Demoness Sect. Hearing the final task hint sent a shiver down Fulen's spine. After all, this kind of task was simply oppression for all Beyonders of the 'Apprentice' Pathway. The task's target was no longer just the Abraham Family.
After Kvedo finished listening, he was initially quite excited, but then suddenly thought of something, like a goose whose neck was being choked. He widened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look at Fulen.
Karl and Erich, at the same time, turned their heads to look at Fulen, while Kvedo quickly reacted and said, "Hehe, everyone, this task really has generous rewards. Do any of you have any clues?"
Then he quickly gestured for those at their table to huddle together and converse in low voices. Erich and Karl followed suit, becoming identical to the people at other tables who were discussing.
And once the four huddled together, Kvedo asked in a low voice, "Fulen, are you from that Family?"
Fulen originally wanted to brush it off, but he hesitated, thinking that these friends could be trusted. Although Fulen had only been friends with them for a few days, Fulen's intuition told him that their natures were not the type to betray friends, and the Potion Sequence was already set.
So Fulen confessed, "That's right, my real name is Fulen Abraham."
Kvedo asked with great interest, "So that's it. Why is your Family wanted? And by whom?"
Fulen, however, said with a bitter smile, "I'm not sure. You might not know, but our Abraham Family, for special reasons, concealed our true surname and transformed it into other forms. After that, we lived in a scattered manner. So, why we are wanted, I'm not very clear either."
Kvedo said somewhat dejectedly, "Ah, so that's how you live." Then Kvedo continued, "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone your true Pathway."
