Upon hearing that, Mas walked up and closed the door of the Alchemy Tower. He looked at Sha You and the other three and asked with a faint smile, “What do you think of my character? Am I easy to get along with?”
“Hehe, of course you’re a good person, Boss. After all, aside from my parents and brothers, no one is willing to treat me to a full meal.” Harry was the first to smile.
“The boss gives me the feeling that he’s a very kind person. After all, not many people would buy high-level alchemical pills for their subordinates. Moreover, the boss is very confident in whatever he does.” Walter looked at Mas with admiration.
Sha You pursed her lips and said with a lost look, “Lord Dyson is my benefactor. He gives me the feeling that he’s my brother. He’s very considerate and warm.”
Sha You’s voice became softer and softer until her face turned red in embarrassment.
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn! I like brother Dyson the most. Apart from my sister, I like brother Dyson the most. Thank you so much for bringing my sister to meet Master Mas to treat my sister’s illness. To tell you the truth, actually, my sister…!” Leah spoke without thinking, completely oblivious to Sha You, who was looking worse and worse.
“Enough, Leah, how rude!”
“No, sister is going to hit me! Hehehe.” Leah hid behind Mas and made a cute face at the angry Sha You.
When Mas heard the heartfelt words from the four of them, he was in a good mood. After all, no one wanted to be belittled all the time. He smiled. “Does that mean I have a good image in your minds?”
Walter and the other three nodded in unison.
“In that case, you don’t have to worry about not being able to get along with Master Mas, because…” Mas pretended to be mysterious and did not finish his sentence.
When Walter and the other three heard that, they looked very confused. Because? Because what…? They did not understand what Mas meant at all.
Mas scratched the back of his head and pressed his palms together. “My four friends, I’m really sorry. Actually… I’m the Master Mas you mentioned. I couldn’t reveal my real name for various reasons on the way.”
“Lord Dyson! You… you’re Master Mas?” Sha You was so shocked that he could not speak properly.
Sha You was a Level 4 mage, and she had master-level magic rune engraving skills. Naturally, she had to deal with many alchemists on a daily basis. Due to her sister’s unrestrained nature, she usually took on jobs and business deals by herself.
Without exception, most of the alchemists she had come into contact with were basically elderly. Apart from Master Mas in front of her, the oldest alchemist she had come into contact with was also fifty years old!
Fifty years old was already considered the prime age for humans.
Alchemy relied on time and experience.
The older an alchemist was, the less powerful they might be, but the younger one was not even qualified to be strong!
If most people were asked to make judgments, whether 100 old alchemists were good or a young alchemist was good, 99% of the people would vote for the old alchemist, and only one percent of the people with bad brains would vote for the young alchemist.
After all, the profession of an alchemist was to win with experience. Therefore, Mas, who looked so young, directly refreshed the values of Sha You and the other three.
It was precisely because of this that none of them had thought about this when Mas was pretending to be mysterious. Not to mention them, even the sly old fox, Belek, who had been in the business for many years could not think of this aspect. Mas was really too young!
After all, Mas’s real age was around 18 years old.

Who would have thought that he could become a great alchemist at such a young age? No, let alone an alchemist, even an alchemist apprentice was only a dabbler!
As for alchemists, such considerations were basically thrown to the back of the mind and never thought about.
“That’s right. Just like what you heard just now, I am the Master Mas you spoke of. Regarding this, I hope you can help me keep it a secret.”
Mas himself knew that as time passed, this matter naturally could not be hidden from the four people who worked for him. If he kept pretending to be Dyson, the other four would not be able to see the rumored “Master Mas”. They would naturally be suspicious.
It was better to make things clear while everyone was present.
“Boss, don’t worry. I’ll keep this secret.” Walter looked at Mas respectfully.
His tone now was completely different from before, with a little more respect for his identity as an alchemist of Mas.
Sha You, Leah, Harry, and the others quickly expressed their stance, indicating that they would not reveal any information about Mas’ identity.
“You guys stay here for the time being. I still have some things to take care of.” Mas called out and walked towards the alchemy teleportation channel without looking back. He then teleported to the top floor.
Mas used the alchemy loudspeaker to change his voice and shouted, “President Belek, Dyson has shown me the gift you gave me. I’m very satisfied!”
Belek, who was waiting anxiously outside the Alchemy Tower, was afraid that Mas would not meet him.
When he heard this voice, it was as if he had been injected with a tranquilizer, calming his restless heart.
“As long as Mas likes such a treasure, it is my honor. Besides, who else is qualified to use such an alchemy material besides Master Mas?” Belek said respectfully.
“Alright, there’s no need to say any more pleasantries. Come in!” Mas replied indifferently before opening the door to the first floor of the Alchemy Tower!
