At the headquarters of the Heggar Family, the Family Head Haimans felt somewhat distressed these days. The five elders of the family had been in the Alchemy Room for over a week, leaving all the family matters on his shoulders alone.
Ordinarily, he felt restrained by the five elders, unable to act freely on many occasions. But now, with all five elders simultaneously shirking their duties, Haimans felt an unprecedented level of pressure.
"They haven't come out in over a week. Didn't they say they would just watch that boy refine a few batches of Elixir Medicine and come out, taking at most a day or two? Can it be that boy hasn't succeeded in his refining yet?" Haimans looked at the list of pending matters on his watch and felt somewhat overwhelmed.
In the Alchemy Room, the five elders hadn't come out at all, not because they forgot about time, but because they were reluctant to leave.
