Autumn had chosen to let her long, black hair down. She was dressed in an eggshell yellow dress and had on some light makeup that made her seem extra girly.

She was dragging a big box with her as she looked at Alex shyly.

"Mr. J-Jefferson, I'm Autumn. I'm not sure if you still remember me," Autumn said nervously.

After the conversation she had with her father last night, she hadn't been able to sleep.

All she had kept thinking about was Alex.

After all, she was at the age where most girls started to become obsessed with romance.

Was there such a thing as a girl who didn't want to look for a rich, handsome and powerful husband?

There was no one else who could ever compare to Alex.

He was the best candidate for a husband.

Even if Stefan hadn't talked about how he had wished for Alex and Autumn to improve their relationship, Autumn would still have fallen for Alex anyway. Alex didn't know why Autumn was so anxious. She had been pretty standoffish and aloof the last time they had met.

Why did she suddenly become so different?

Alex asked curiously, "What's gotten into you? You seem pretty different from the last time we met."

Autumn was even more embarrassed. Mr. Jefferson is purposely laughing at me!

As for Flynn and Lexa, they were left speechless.

It was obvious to anyone with a working pair of eyes that Autumn liked Alex. In fact, even a blind man could sense the passion radiating from her eyes for him. Despite that, Alex was still acting all oblivious.

"Mr. Jefferson, I apologize for any rudeness on my part. I didn't know any better back then," Autumn said abashedly.

She honestly didn't think she'd done anything rude before. Maybe when she suspected his integrity while Damian was helping their family, but that was it. "Wow, you really did change a lot. Just place the herbs over there."

Alex smiled. He could definitely spot the passion and admiration Autumn had for him in her eyes.

He could only pretend as if he couldn't see a thing,

He was a married man, but even if he were single, he couldn't help the girl's reputation. He didn't want to waste her youth.

Even Maggie's gaze toward him had started becoming rather ambiguous, let alone Ginny and Jessica's.

He wasn't cocky, but as a man, he was still pretty confident about that kind of thing.

All he could do was continue to act clueless in front of these three people, and now Autumn, too.

"Mr. Jefferson, are you making a pill?" Autumn asked, placing the box down.

"Yep." Alex nodded as he started to light the stove.

"M-may I watch you?" Autumn äsked, looking at Alex excitedly.

Alex glanced at her before chuckling. "If you really don't have anything better to do, you can help me arrange the herbs with the two of them over there."

Autumn

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Jefferson!" Autumn's heart leaped at the chance. Her true goal was never to watch him brew the pill. It was to simply spend more time with him so they could

get

closer.

Autumn started asking Flynn how to arrange the herbs.

Flynn felt like laughing, but he still taught Autumn how to arrange everything properly.

Once she roughly understood what was needed, she opened the case that was filled to the brim with top-tier herbs.

Flynn caught sight of them and said in surprise, "Does your family own a herbal pharmacy? These are all top-tier herbs."

Autumn laughed lightly. "Nope! My dad got these herbs through some connections he had. My dad got to know some people in the medicinal herb business who had quite the collection. They sold all these to my dad."

Alex nodded as he added, "Mr. Jones has pretty good connections in the industry. I asked him to get me these herbs because I was aware that he knows a few owners of herbal pharmacies."

"I see."

Autumn said, "Actually, my grandfather owns the largest herbal pharmacy. Most of these came from his

store."

"Who is this grandfather you're speaking of?" Alex asked curiously.

Chapter 460 The Best Of The Best

Alex double-checked the herbs that Autumn had brought and directed her to sort them out on their designated shelves before returning to watch over the Alchemy Pot.

The Alchemy Pot was already at the perfect temperature, so he placed the Wild Thousand-Year Ginseng into the pot.

The main ingredient of the Pill of Longevity was the Wild Thousand-Year Ginseng. It had to be over a hundred degrees before he could add in any side ingredients or add-ons, and only after that could he begin to raise the temperature to combine them.

"Master, I got the herbs you sent me to get."

Right then, Auriel's chirpy voice rang out from outside.

Alex glanced in her direction, only to see Auriel carrying a case into the room.

She was dressed in her school pinafore and looked young and cheerful, resembling a bright oriole.

"What kind of herbs?" Alex asked, taken aback.

He hadn't asked Tyrael for any herbs.

"My grandfather heard that you needed herbs to create some pills, so he asked for them from Lumenopolis. Here, you can check if it's what you need," Auriel said with a smile, passing the case to Alex. There were only three herbs in the case, but Alex was already shocked by the very first glance at them.

All three of them were the best of the best quality.

Lotus Plumule, Procris, and Mountain Herb - all of them a thousand years old!

All of these were the absolute finest divine medicine available on the market right now. Any of them would sell for about a hundred million.

Tyrael is pretty generous too.

"How are they, Master? These are all from my grandfather's collection. Pretty good, huh?" Auriel exclaimed gleefully.

"They're not bad. Place them over there first. Later on, I'll create some more pills for you and your family," Alex said, patting Auriel's shoulders.

"Thank you, Master! You're the best," Auriel said with a happy nod. She carried the case over to where Alex had pointed.

"Master, what are you making?" Auriel asked.

"The Pill of Longevity," Alex replied.

"Is it for Richard?" Auriel asked.

"Yep." Alex nodded.

Master, I want to learn how to make pills too," Auriel stated with a face full of excitement.
