Chapter 371
Natasha asked with uncertainty in her voice, “Darling, is this… some kind of miracle pill?”
Andrew replied calmly, “Indeed. It’s called the Blood Surge Pill, capable of temporarily boosting a fighter’s physical and mental strength, allowing them to surpass their normal limits.”
Dylan exclaimed with excitement, “Mr. Lloyd, aren’t these rare items usually only available to elite martial arts academies and old–money families?”
Andrew shrugged casually, “It’s not that dramatic. While the pills are difficult to create and their formulas are closely guarded by powerful organizations, there are more players in Holtrien than just the academies and old families.”
Natasha grabbed the small vial eagerly and admired it. “These medicines are practically impossible for regular people to get their hands on. I saw one at an auction once, and a basic one costs nearly a million dollars, with limited availability. Even with money, most people wouldn’t know where to buy one.”
Andrew answered straightforwardly, “I didn’t get it from anywhere. I made it myself.”
Natasha rolled her eyes and said playfully, “You made it yourself? I don’t believe that! Only miracle doctors or those legendary alchemists know how to create these elixirs. Don’t try to fool me!”
Andrew responded, “You’re right that only miracle doctors or alchemists can create these medicines. And I happen to be both a miracle doctor and an alchemist!”
Natasha laughed dismissively and said, “Whatever you say.”
In her mind, she could not believe Andrew could be an alchemist. If that were true, it would be ridiculously unfair–as if the universe had opened every door for this man without closing a single window.
How could anyone compete with that?
Dylan remained silent, not joining the conversation. He believed everything Andrew said and even things Andrew had not said.
Dylan was clear about his position now–he was completely content being Andrew’s loyal assistant.
Natasha’s eyes gleamed with curiosity as she probed further. “Darling, Mr. Yates and Mr. Thatcher personally came to your rescue today. You must have some serious connections. Tell me, what’s your relationship with these two Jayrodale powerhouses?”
Andrew smiled mysteriously, “Are you sure you want to know the truth?”
Natasha’s expression became uncertain. Indeed, even if Andrew were willing to tell her, she was unsure she wanted to know.

Both Mark and Marvin were major players she preferred to keep at a respectful distance. Sometimes, knowing too much could be dangerous.
She huffed, “Fine, if you don’t want to tell me, just say so. I was just making conversation anyway. I don’t really care about your business!”
Andrew’s expression turned serious. “Alright, I’ve helped you with what you needed here. You said you knew where to find the rare medicinal herb I’m looking for. It’s time to tell me.”
Natasha chuckled. “I knew you couldn’t wait. Well, I’ve already invited the person Andrew frowned. “Shouldn’t you be the one handing the herb over to me?”
who has it,”
Natasha explained apologetically, “The person insisted on knowing who wanted the herb. They won’t hand it over without meeting you in person.”
Andrew scoffed. “Are you telling me that even as the West End’s leader, you couldn’t purchase
this herb from them?”
