After Rio finished his potion and properly organised his thoughts, he felt satisfied. Pura Corpus didn't make him stronger nor did it break limits for his talent, but it had solidified his foundation, making his future journey easy to start, and for Rio that was enough.

Cause to grow stronger he has a lot of other opportunities waiting for him. 8 years till the plot starts, which simply meant chances which were written in the would be just waiting for him to take for 8 years. Though some of them were useless or some would only show up after certain events, but still there was enough stuff for him to take & feel safe.

Rio looked towards the herbs left and saw there were still enough left to make 3 more potions. He wanted to go out but decided to make one more potion for Amelia. As he thought - Why would you have her face Amelia?

'In the there weren't any character arts posted so I have no idea if it's just a coincidence or something to do with me.'

'I'm kinda missing hearing Ria's voice in my head now.'

Rio was lost in his thoughts as he made the potion. He didn't make any mistakes this time. So he decided to make more, not for anyone else, just to give them to Artemis, so she can do whatever she wants.

'I'm pretty sure, she already knows about its effects. Considering her guards who've been watching me all this time.'

After making those potions, Rio took one with himself and kept the rest on the table and started walking out, while saying - "You can give them to mother for testing."

There was no response in return, as the whole point of them being hidden was that so no one could identify them, even if they were standing in front of you. They were few chosen ones who've been following Blake's for generations and have learned to be in the shadows. They didn't need any credit, as loyalty ran in their blood.

I remember in the some of them were used as suicide bombers to blast the Royal Palace in bright daylight and put the blame on Evil's Scion. 'That was a nice idea the author used there.'

"I'm going to my room, call Asher to meet me there." Rio said and walked out, the door closed behind him automatically as the lights went out.

Rio walked straight and went to his room, he closed the doors and decided to take a bath.

'well I don't see any black liquid leaking like those cultivation s but why not'

He stood in front of the mirror, he wasn't narcissistic nor did it matter much how he looked, but he wanted to see the effects of the potion firsthand. It's not everyday you could just eat something and feel renewed/reformed.

There weren't many differences that he could see except his skin looked more cleaner & smoother. His height and body was the same but he felt like he lost some fat.

'I expected more changes but I guess it's all internal stuff huhh.'

The pura corpus was something magical for building a foundation. Now if he awakened, newly awakened him could easily beat someone who went through it before him.

Plus since his body was purer now, the effects of some other potions & pills he would take would be much better on him, as there were no impurities to obstruct their progress.

This was the second reason why Rio was determined to make this potion, after all he knew where he could find many gifts left or buried and knew many recipes for potions, and to use them to their full extent he needed pura corpus.

Since this potion was something so magical you would think it was made for the protagonist. But do you think a protagonist would share something this good with others. Nope, they don't even share anything with anyone, even their own loved ones, so why would he share this with the whole world.

Simple, cause he had no choice.

Leon, our protagonist was the same. He used this potion on himself but never shared it with anyone else. Until he told it to a girl to impress her and she shared it with the whole world. Leon got the full credit for it as she was honest, but he wasn't satisfied with it. So he acted angry saying she broke his trust, and as you could guess the fiasco soon ended when he got the girl too.

'Ukhhh fucking cliche route'

'Though I do wonder what would happen now hehehe'

After getting dressed Rio walked out and took out a paper and pen. He started writing all the chances he could remember, it didn't matter if they were for some hero or villain or side character, it didn't matter to him. If he could steal all the heavenly chances then why not. He decided to take everything which were useful for him now and easy to get.

'I can take other stuff later on myself.'

He was busy writing stuff when he heard a knock on the door and heard his voice -

"Young master, it's me Asher."

"Come in" Rio said and watched as Asher came in and bowed after he closed the door.

"Do you need something, young master?"

"Wait for me to finish." Rio said as he continued writing and Asher just stood there silently.

After some time Rio finished writing and passed the paper to Asher.

Asher was surprised as he continued reading through the list, he saw names of pills and potions that were very high grade, some which were lost in history. When he turned the page he was shocked as he saw about techniques and artifacts that were only known to a few and thought to be only rumors. He even saw some stuff that even he who ran a business for artifacts never heard of it.

Along with their names he saw locations where he would have to go to find them , Asher didn't know what to do with all this knowledge.

Artemis had told him that they were to follow Rio's order as he needed Alpha's to get some things, but never had he imagined that what he thought to be some random stuff would turn out to THIS.

Asher was lost in his thoughts when he heard Rio's voice - "I need you and your team to go there and get all these items for me."

Asher was thinking about where Rio even got the news about all this when he heard Rio continuing his words - "I don't need to tell you about taking only the people whom you can trust and keep the news to select few. The places written on the second page are secured with some traps and tests, so be extra careful in those areas."

Rio watched as Asher nodded his head and then continued as he stood up and came in front of him - "And the most important thing, be as discreet as you possibly can, make sure no one knows anything about the Blake family. If it's not possible abandon that item but do not take the risk of exposure. DO YOU UNDERSTAND."

"Yes, young master." Asher said as he could somewhat understand what would happen if news leaked about this. But he just thought it was because of some rivalry or competition but Rio was worried only about protagonist and his supporter camp learning this. As most of the stuff he wrote was from their camp.

Rio also gave Asher names about 2-3 bandit groups and one of the hidden gang locations for local criminals in Damascus , whom Alphas were tasked to kill, they were people who would be later used as face slapping tools by Leon to seduce Amelia and somehow Rio hated that.

"You have one month's time to finish everything and come back." Rio said and turned around , but then he remembered something and said - "Ohh, and if Amelia is free now, tell someone to prepare some snacks, we'll have a rest, I'm starved."

Asher nodded his head and put the list in his storage ring and went out, he needed to prepare his team for this mission.

'I wonder if she knows about it.' Asher thought as he walked towards Artemis's study room. He needed her permission to fully utilize Alphas as it would take some time for him to go to all these places and come back. Plus the killings of those people, without Artemis's approval he couldn't do that.

Artemis who was currently talking to her sister, discussing her punishment for spilling her secrets while thinking if she should ask her help to learn Rio's secrets, but she also didn't want to invade on her son's privacy, so she decided to give him a chance to explain everything first and cut the call. But that decision changed as soon as Asher came in and handed her the list.

'I should call her again.' She thought.
