The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts

"You're the ones who seem to be spies of The Reclaimers. You didn't come to stir up a conflict on purpose, did you?"

"Since Ms. Chamber is a female who can pacify males even across levels, she can't be lying to us, can she?"

"Getting abilities is the most important thing right now. I heard that one of the females in an alliance was also infected. After she drank the potion manufactured by Gideon, she also got an ability. I think I'll choose to trust Ms. Chamber and Gideon."

"Females can get abilities, too?"

"Yes. Females are therians who also have therian genes. Naturally, they would be able to integrate with natural elements in Stellar Ambers."

"Use your brains. If The Reclaimers' potion really can improve mind essence, why would it infect others?"

After reading the trending search terms and the comment sections, Analise began laughing out loud. "Isn't that just a typical case of a bad workman blaming his tools?"

"Yes. They're weak, and their genes cannot integrate with natural elements in Stellar Ambers. What does that have to do with me?"noveldrama

Gideon shook a test tube, and the transparent liquid inside sloshed around.

"The comments are divided roughly in half. Some people believe that it was our potion that neutralized the poison for them so they could get abilities. Some think that The Reclaimers' potion will give them abilities from the beginning, but it just has severe side effects."

Analise pinched her chin. "They all sound logical. It can be deceiving."

"I don't want brainless fools like them to appear in Shadowhawk Alliance."

Gideon put down the test tube.

"Tell our people that it's still free for now. If they're dumb enough to believe in what other people say, they won't be able to buy it in the future even if they beg me.

"As for other alliances, we'll maintain the usual supply for Stormclaw Alliance, and for the rest of them, it will depend on their needs. Whether or not they buy it is up to them.

"Put the extra potions in the icehouse for now.

"Post an announcement on the interstellar network later, and they can decide whether or not they want to buy it. When there aren't adequate supplies in the future, the price will increase. They'd better not complain about being poor when that happens."

Gideon's tone was casual, but it brooked no argument.

"Yes, Mr. Clarke."

"Also, investigate the spies and members of The Reclaimers in the alliance. When you've found them, tell me at once," Gideon saido casually as he washed his hands.

"Yes."

After Francis had left the laboratory, Analise walked over to Gideon. "It appears that I can get some extra nourishment for now. You probably won't be able to sell your potions for a while."

"Yes. I'll just have to take a break and laze around for a bit." Gideon nodded and

put an arm around her. "Ana, let's go and form a contract tomorrow."

"We're going back to Stormclaw Alliance now?" Analise asked, uncertain, as she looked around at the things that filled the laboratory.

"We don't have to go back. We can form a contract at Shadowhawk Alliance, too." Gideon chuckled.

"You said you'd join me." Analise rolled her eyes.

"It counts." Gideon pulled her over to a closet to get changed.

"If you want me to, I'll move Shadowhawk City to Stormclaw Alliance. In any case, there are still quite a few empty stars in Scott's Stormclaw Alliance anyway."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea. However, I still hope that you can do what you like to do and that you won't have to go through all the fuss of moving," Analise said as she changed out of the protective gear.

"Shadowhawk Alliance seems like a nice place. I'm sure that's all thanks to you," Gideon said.

Analise took Gideon's hand and walked out of the laboratory. "This is the result of everyone's hard work."

Gideon lowered his eyes. "If it really comes down to it, then you're the one who deserves the credit."

"What does it have to do with me?"

The two of them chatted as they walked along.
