Elisa looked at the glass vila on the table for a few seconds before looking at Alex, saying, "I'm going to call someone to appraise this potion, I hope you don't mind."
Alex shook his head, "It's alright, I don't mind."
"Thank you." Said Elisa.
Next, Elisa called a maid that was on standby just outside the garden and instructed her to call someone.
A few minutes after the maid left, an elegant young man wearing glasses entered.
The moment he came inside the garden, his eyes immediately focused on Elisa sitting in the pavilion with Alex.
With a gentle smile, he said, "Oh Elisa~, I have come to visit you again and express my feelings for you!~"
His voice attracted Elisa and Alex's attention and they turned to look at him.
When Elisa saw him, she unexpectedly smiled.
"Leo, you're here!"
Leo walked into the pavilion and noticed Alex.
A surprised look appeared on his face and said, "Oh, what a surprise that you have a visitor, Elisa!"
Then he smiled at Alex and greeted, "Hello, I'm Leo Carpo of the Carpo Family."
He politely extended his hand to Alex, initiating a handshake.
Alex nodded at him and responded, "I am Zero, nice meeting you."
When Alex mentioned his name, Leo froze for a moment.
Then hesitantly, he asked, "Zero… you mean the one that just cleared the Tier-1 trial in the Trial Tower?"
Before Alex even says anything, Elisa already answered for him.
"Yes, he's that one. I invited him here to ask him his secrets!"
Elisa said with a smile.
It seems like his words piqued Leo's interest and he said, "Oh, I also want to learn about it. You guys don't mind if I listen, right?"
Elisa smiled and said, "Unfortunately, Zero didn't have any secret weapon or anything."
"It seems like he cleared the Trial Tower all thanks to his high stats."
"Really?!"
Leo was once again surprised because of Elisa's words.
"To have enough stats to clear the Trial Tower… I wonder how high your stats have to be to do such a thing?"
Alex just smiled and didn't answer that question.
Realizing that he seemed to have said something unnecessary, Leo looked at Alex apologetically and said,
"Ah, I'm sorry, don't mind me, I was just talking to myself."
Alex waved his hand lightly and said, "It's alright, it's nothing big."
Leo thanked Alex for being considerate.
"What are you still doing, standing there? Come and sit down already." Elisa said to Leo.
With Elisa's words, Leo comfortably sat down on the chair beside her.
After sitting down, Leo turned his eyes to Elisa and asked, "So, what is the reason that you called me here?"
"Don't tell me, it's something related to Zero."
When he said that, he glanced at Alex for a moment before looking back at Elisa with questioning eyes.
Leo was the one Elisa asked the maid to call.
The Flores and Carpo Family have a great relationship with each other.
Because of that, Elisa and Leo became friends ever since they were younger.
The reason why Elisa asked Leo is because obviously, he has an appraisal skill and also, she trusts Leo very much.
Elisa nodded, "You guessed it right, it's actually something related to Zero."
Saying that, Elisa picked up the potion with Alex's permission and handed it to Leo.
"I want to ask you to use [Appraisal] on this, Leo."
"This is something that Alex showed me and… the effects that he mentioned makes me doubt its authenticity."
When Elisa said that, she took a glance at Alex to see his reaction.
After seeing that he didn't get mad because of her words, she quietly heaved a sigh in relief.
Leo received the glass vial from Elisa and curiously looked at it.
"Hmm, a potion, huh. Well, let's see what this is with my [Appraisal]."
After saying that, without hesitation, Leo used [Appraisal] on the potion.
[Strength Potion]
[Description: Permanently increase your strength attribute by 10 points after consumption.]
When Leo saw the description on his appraisal, he was stunned.
His reaction was seen by both Alex and Elisa.
Impatiently, Elisa asked, "Leo, what is it? Tell me!"
Elisa's voice seems to have woken Leo from his dazed and he slowly raised his head to look at Elisa, saying,
"This… Elisa, this is a precious item!"
Without caring for Elisa, he turned his head to Alex and said, "Zero, this item is yours, right?"
Alex calmly nodded, "Yes, why, is there something you want to ask?"
"Zero, I won't beat around the bushes. I want this item, just name a price and I will buy it!"
Leo suddenly with eyes full of seriousness.
When Elisa heard Leo's words, she was dumbfounded.
With a frown on her face, she said, "Hey Leo, what the hell are you doing?"
Noticing that Elisa got upset because of his words, Leo paused and said, "I'm sorry, Elisa. I got too excited for a moment."
"It's just that this potion is really too precious."
After saying that, Leo honestly told Elisa the description of the [Strength Potion] on his [Appraisal].
When she heard that, Elisa realized that Alex didn't lie to her.
So, she faced Alex and said, "Zero, I'm sorry I doubted your words earlier."
"It's just a bit unbelievable for me that such an item was actually in front of me."
Elisa expressed her sincere apology to Alex and even bowed her head a little.
For a noble, especially one of the four Great Families, doing such a thing is already a big deal.
Seeing that, Alex waved his hand dismissively and understandingly said, "It's alright, I get why you find it unbelievable."
"Anyway, now that you've confirmed that it's real, let's talk about the thing that I wanted to talk about with you."
When Alex said that, a big smile slowly crept up his lips.
Elisa's expression once again became serious.
She nodded and said, "Okay, tell me, Zero."
"What is it that you want?"
