"Really?"
Aron was not too surprised and even disbelieved what Jayden was saying. At the same time, he thought that this bastard must be boasting.
A pill that could cure all kinds of diseases and even bring back someone who was nearly dead to life—wasn't that just a treasure pill? If such a pill existed, shouldn't he have heard about it long ago?
Recalling the times he had repeatedly asked Jayden, but this bastard was harder to get to talk than to take off his underwear, Aron was half-believing and half-doubting what he said.
"Don't doubt what I'm saying," Jayden said a bit angrily upon seeing Aron's disdainful expression. "Let me tell you, besides our world changing now, the magical things that only existed in legends are indeed real. You, as an ordinary human, wouldn't know. So, if you want to learn about the state of this world, you can ask me anything for just 500 Marks. So—"
"Stop talking nonsense, explain to me about the Evergreen Pill and how I can get it?" Aron interrupted him angrily.
"Hehe…" Jayden chuckled softly and looked at Aron in silence. His meaning was clear—where's the money?
"Bastard!" Aron could only grit his teeth and once again added another 1,000 marks.
"Hehe, buddy, you really know me well!" As he spoke, Jayden happily pocketed Aron's money and smiled wider.
This was truly a big business!
"Since you're so sincere, I'll be honest with you. The Evergreen Pill does exist, and it's not a pill made by people of this era, but rather it was discovered by accident in some ruins. Don't doubt its efficacy; experts have examined it, and its effects are truly as I mentioned. It's just that…" Jayden paused, making Aron extremely angry.
"What?! Is the money I gave not enough? Tell me, how much do I have to pay to get that pill?"
"Hey…" Jayden suddenly sighed and looked at Aron with a completely different expression.
This time he said seriously, "Aron, you must know that the things in the academy cannot be freely disseminated to the outside world. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I truly can't do it. If you want to get it, you have to obtain it yourself."
"How am I supposed to get it?" There was a slight sense of relief when Aron finally heard Jayden's serious words.
After knowing the other party for quite a while, when he started talking about the Cloud Academy, this bastard wouldn't dare to lie. With the reality that the Evergreen Pill indeed existed, there was still a chance to obtain it.
However, Jayden immediately shook his head when he heard that Aron wanted to get it himself.
"For someone like you, that's truly impossible!"
"What do you mean!?" While asking, Aron placed his right arm on the table and showed his silvery skin to Jayden.
"You… You… Bastard!" Jayden was immediately shocked and even began to stand while pointing at Aron angrily. "Final Stage Skin-Purification Martial Artist? Bastard, since when did you awaken and gain your inheritance!?"
Without answering, Aron just looked at the shocked young man in front of him with a satisfied and slightly arrogant expression. After years of friendship and always being taken advantage of, Aron felt a bit proud seeing Jayden's disgusting face change several times.
"You, really…" Jayden took a deep breath and began to calm himself. He sat back down and looked at Aron with a complicated feeling before suddenly shaking his head.
"At first, I thought you would never awaken your inheritance; I didn't expect you to awaken now. Everything becomes easier, and something I've long wanted to do to you can finally be done." As he spoke, he began to look at Aron with a serious face and a different demeanor.
But Jayden didn't continue his speech, and Aron knew that this greedy bastard was probably just talking nonsense about doing something to him. His goal was nothing more than to reap more benefits.
Holding back his emotions, Aron once again pulled out 1,000 marks and, with a tone that was almost impossible not to shout, said, "Don't talk a lot of nonsense to me as if I don't know who you are. Tell me, is this money enough to get me into the Cloud Academy and obtain the Evergreen Pill?"
"Haha…" Jayden laughed happily and hurriedly grabbed the money in front of him with a beaming face. "Aron, you are indeed my best friend."
Of course, Aron could only glare at him with hatred and wait for what this bastard would say next.
"The time is right. I will take you to the Cloud Academy to register now."
"Are we going right now?" Aron was a bit surprised by Jayden's straightforwardness.
"Of course, it's because you are my best friend. If it were someone else, you would have to wait a while." As he answered, Jayden was already walking out of the house.
Meanwhile, Aron, following behind him, could only glare at him with hatred and continue to scoff.
Best friend? If it weren't for the 1,000 marks he had given earlier, this bastard wouldn't be working so hard right now.
But Aron finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because in the end, the money he borrowed from Uncle Kong was not in vain, and even the news of a possible medicine that could be used to heal Jiajia was clear.
Now, even though he had lost 6,000 marks to Jayden, he felt that his future looked brighter.
With himself becoming a martial artist, Aron had a little confidence to do many things in the future. Perhaps he could even change his fate and the lives of those around him. For now, his closest goal was to enter the academy, no matter what happened.
One hour later.
With Jayden's guidance, for the first time, Aron could enter the city center, where only people with special abilities could enter. And for the first time since he was alive, he finally saw what grandeur and luxury were.
It was truly hard to imagine that the difference between the city center and the outskirts was like heaven and earth. Whether it was the buildings, the roads, or even the air, Aron felt like he was in a completely different world.
Especially when he saw a building that looked like a huge and very luxurious castle standing atop a mountain.
With the cool and clean air around it, the large building that encompassed the entire mountain was surrounded by several green mountains full of trees, and it was always faintly shrouded by white clouds. In the air, several large white cranes flew back and forth with people riding on them.
Such a view truly looked like a fairy tale land from legends.
"Is this the Cloud Academy?" Aron unconsciously asked with a hint of admiration and astonishment in his voice.
"Are you surprised?"
Aron nodded, genuinely astonished by what he saw. He never expected the Cloud Academy to be like this. In his imagination, it might have been like a school building or a large ancient castle from the past. But this…
"Haha…" Jayden laughed happily upon seeing Aron's shock. "This is just the beginning; there are still many surprising things in there."
