Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 The Purple Ginseng 

Ivy Media Group and Four Seas Corporation were rivals. In the second round, Four Seas Corporation won by a wide margin. It caused Ivy Media’s reputation to take a massive slide, leading to a severe financial loss. 

At the same time, many advertisers refused to complete their payments, causing Ivy Media to sustain ever more loss. 

However, they had the backing of Penguin Group. Even though Ivy Media suffered a severe loss in the second round, it made them even more determined to dominate the Southwest Region and defeat Four Seas Corporation. 

However, Four Seas Corporation was now a company worth hundreds of billions. It would cost at least seven to eight hundred billion to acquire it. Therefore, Stuart believed he needed to bring it down by destroying its reputation, causing it to suffer a severe financial loss. Then, he could buy over the company. 

Although the failure of Ivy Media Group’s Starry Girls was unpleasant news to Stuart, it did not bother him because his legs had fully recovered. He had no problem walking, so this was tremendously good 

news. 

Stuart had never doubted Tyrael Skyworth’s medical skills. 

Therefore, he bought many gifts to be sent to Tyrael. 

Although he had recovered from his injuries, Stuart did not forget the grudge between him and Alex. 

He was the heir of the Nixon family and came to the insignificant Nebula City. Therefore, it was a tremendous humiliation when a loser like Alex broke his legs. 

Of course, he could not let the matter go. 

He had called a large team of bodyguards from Summerbank. These bodyguards were mercenaries his family hired from Brecknock. They had towering figures and were skilled in combat. 

Stuart was confident that he could break all of Alex’s limbs the next time they met. 

Furthermore, he also planned to cuckold Alex. 

Heather was a beautiful woman. Even though she was now a mother, her beauty was still unrivaled. Therefore, he planned to have some fun with her. 

While Stuart was planning his revenge, Alex taught Auriel to make elixirs. 

All this while, regardless it was combat skills training or learning about medicine, Auriel worked hard on all of them. Therefore, Alex changed his mind and decided to teach her how to make elixirs. 

He did not have many rare herbs, as he had used them up for his Alchemy training. Still, he had quite a lot of common herbs. Thus, Auriel could use them for her practice. 

Although Auriel was talented, making elixirs required practice. She attempted more than ten times under Alex’s guidance, but none of her attempts were successful. 

Auriel had a good understanding of the functions and properties of medicine. However, she was not familiar with using Mortal Force to control fire temperature. Her flames were either too strong or too weak. She practiced more than ten times and failed more than ninety percent of the time. Most of the time, she could not control the intensity of her flame and burned the elixir. In the few times when she did 

not burn the elixir, it turned into an unusable paste. 

Still, Alex was impressed to see that Auriel remained eager to learn despite a series of failures. She was not discouraged. 

As Auriel burned another batch of elixir, Alex received a call from Maggie. 

He pressed to answer it, and instantly, Maggie’s clear and melodious voice appeared “Mr. Jefferson, we have purple ginseng of the highest grade for auction tonight. It has been certified to be a thousand years old. Initially, I planned to purchase it directly from the owner to gift you. However, the owner refused and insisted on auctioning it. Do you want to come here to have a look at it?”
