62  Chapter 58 - Waves

Just two weeks after negotiations were done with Realm-Lore Elixirs, a shocking yet unbelievable news that turned all of Arcadia and the world over its head was released.

A potion with 99% efficacy was created.

Following this almost unbelievable info however, the potions themselves began to make their way into the market, completely shutting out all skepticism and disbeliefs about its creation.

The potion was released by a mid-sized company called Realm-Lore Elixirs, and as soon as the validity of the potion's effects were proven, their stocks skyrocketed to high heavens and soon enough, they gained ground among the biggest companies in the world.

Although Realm-Lore Elixirs maintained monopoly over the potions that had been created itself, they sold it at a price that was legitimately affordable for those who truly needed it.

Coming just after the previously known 90% healing potion, which had also been termed high-grade healing potions and was priced at 500AR per one, the 99% healing potion, now termed as advanced-grade healing potion and even 'elixirs' by some, was sold at 1000AR, exactly double the price of the previous one.

This pricing had people even more stupefied but unknown to them, one of major things Leopold had outlined when deciding on the profit-models for the potions with Realm-Lore Elixirs was that it must be fairly accessible to most people if they really needed it, especially Rankers.

The advanced-grade healing potions had also been found to have even more amazing effects asides just being capable of ultra-regenerative healing.

Several other incurable illnesses which had been plaguing the world for ages now were also found to be capable of being healed by it!

Genetic ailments however could not be healed and bringing a person back from the dead was also impossible.

But even then, just being able to regrow lost limbs from scratch without any drawbacks or even side-effect was just so groundbreaking to Arcadia and the rest of world.

Almost every media company however had been more interested in who it was that actually created the advanced-grade healing potions and soon enough, after just a single day, another shocking news was released to the world again.

The creators of the advanced-grade healing potions were Ivelia and Ivar Steelblade, two twins aged 16 years and the children of Isaac Steelblade, a disowned noble who despite not being known by a lot of people before, was now found out to have been the head researcher of The Tower and the main individual who had pioneered the production of the previous high-grade potion.

This bombshell of a news suddenly caused a huge surge of so many nobles to immediately begin to call the Steelblade Family who were still in a state of disarray themselves over this sudden revelation.

They however were super-elated that finally, their family was now gaining recognition similar to that of the three big families but just the day after, as if to pour cold icy water over their newfound joy, another popular media channel revealed another interesting article.

The article had detailed that Ivelia and Ivar Steelblade were actually backed, not by the Steelblades themselves but by one of the previously known big family in the past, the Belmonts.

Following this revelation, the Belmonts themselves were instantly put into a state of complete alertness and home lockdown.

Starting from that day, their residence had constantly been disturbed with every form of paparazzi who had now made the fronts of their gate a permanent residence.

Due to Ivelia, Ivar and the Belmont's themselves ever-growing and explosive popularity, their family also constantly had to deal with letters requesting for visitation on a daily basis.

From noble families, both from those they knew and those that they didn't that were trying to curry favors with them, down to media outlets who wanted an interview with them and the twins and eventually, various organizations who wanted to have a piece of the cake of Realm-Lore Elixir's exponential rise to the top in the form of the formula for the creation of the advanced-grade healing potion.

It also did not help that some dark guilds here and there even had the audacity to send a few assassination & stealth-based specialized mages to try and kidnap Ivar and Ivelia but all of them had been promptly dispatched by Butler Frank, The Duke and The Duchess who had pretty much been expecting this.

Leopold especially had expected all this and had promptly began preparing for it the moment Donovan, who was now the CEO of the company, had contacted him.

Following the instructions on the paper that Flynn had given him, Donovan did not even have to wait long before an arrest for Alex Manchester was issued from The Tower just a day after he had contacted them.

The third generation master had been found to be involved with a certain dark guild that was also found out to have being creating and smuggling extremely dangerous drugs and other substances upon further investigation.

These drugs and substances, which had been abolished in Arcadia, was being smuggled in and out its various countries for almost an entire year now.

Donovan had a moment of realization when this happened and realized that although Alex was a rich and spoilt brat, he never should've had so much money to constantly frolick around on a constant basis.

His wealthy mogul of a father had made sure to cut off his supply of funds and even the money from the company which he had been embezelling at intervals should have never given him so much.

Now, Donovan had come to understand that that had only been possible because of Alex's collusion with the Purple Haze dark guild.

Also, due to this sudden removal of the long-time thorn in his path, Donovan had promptly converted all of the company's assets that belonged to Alex into his without wasting time at all and now, he was the CEO and he was ready to lead his company to the very top.

Donovan after also sorting out all the legalities of his ascension to the CEO's position, had promptly began to mass produce the potions at their production branch.

After about a week and a half of continuous mass production, he had then called the Duke to inform him that they would release the potions to the market in the next few days.

Leopold upon hearing this had immediately requested for and took a one-month leave, something the Tower promptly granted him without fail due to his very efficient work ethic.

The Duke of the Belmont Family had also ensured to give his closest friend a breakdown of all that had happened and was probably going to happen, something Sebastian had promptly agreed with while supporting his partner's decision to take a long leave.

As a result, the Duke had been at home to protect his family from all the pests that seemingly thought they could lay their despicable hands on them.

He also made sure to reject every single request for visitation and interviews and soon enough, almost every noble family and a few media companies, stopped sending their requests for visitation.

Every noble family except the Steelblade family, who just like stubborn goats, seemed so intent on meeting Ivar and Ivelia, and as a result, consistently kept sending letters and requesting for visitations.

The Duke however continuously kept rejecting each and every single one of their request for visitation without a single care in the world.

Before doing this however, he had made sure to inform Ivelia and Ivar about his decision to do so.

Both twins had also being supportive of his decision to reject their visit.

They had both deemed it unnecessary to have anything to do with a family who was now only looking for them following their achievements.

Besides, the Belmont's were the only people they considered family asides Briar.

That being said, the Belmonts residence was now also bustling with maids, maidservants and various other workers that should've been maintaining the large mansion from the very beginning.

Considering the exponential increase in wealth he had predicted that they were going to have, the duke had deemed it necessary to employ them.

He even went as far as splurging a huge sum of money to begin building a large residence just for them, a fair distance away from the mansion itself, in just over a day after negotiations were made with the company.

It had ended up being the perfect move because in just over a week before all the avalanche and barrage of events had struck them, the residence had been completely built and the Belmont's with all the extra hands they now had, were very self-sustainable without having to leave their mansion even for a month.

This also greatly alleviated a lot of Butler Frank's duties but at the same time, added a whole new plethora of things to do and manage now that he had now being promoted to Head Butler.

The selection of the workers, maids and maidservants however had been done by the Duchess, just a few days too after Leopold had brought people to begin constructing the worker's residence.

Anna had made sure to mostly take in people who were in dire need of a job and money but yet, still very honorable and disciplined individuals.

She had decided on this move based on the fact that desperate people tended to be very loyal to their helpers and were more willing to conform to whatever conditions were given to them.

Leopold had also gone the extra mile by paying all of the workers separate yet magnanimous amounts of money asides from their already fat salaries to keep their mouths shut regarding anything that would be going on in their family for the foreseeable future.

The Duchess had also been the one who had asked for him to implement this despite being the one to have selected all the workers now presently in their mansion.

She had told her husband that although all the servants now present in their mansion were people who were quite disciplined and honorable, it would further cement their loyalty to them if they did that.

backyard, were now so completely immersed in the creation and mastering of their own unique spells 18:12

that even all the crazy changes that were happening around them was not even affecting them in Despite all that was going on however, Aiden and Flynn were doing something pretty interesting.

Something that had been completely consuming all of their time since a for more than a few weeks now.

Both youths were now creating new spells!

Flynn who had gotten a pretty interesting idea from reading through his telekinesis spell book along with something Julius Hargreaves had done when they had met him, and Aiden, who had fortunately stumbled upon his own idea for a new spell after watching Briar playing around in their mansion's backyard, were now so completely immersed in the creation and mastering of their own unique spells that even all the crazy changes that were happening around them was not even affecting them in the least.

Although both of them had originally decided to create new spells in preparation for the academy, what they had not expected however was how hard yet immensely… fun???… it was to actually master said created spells.

They had also begun to come up with the ideas for these spells, just a week before they had met with Realm-Lore Elixirs and they had done it with the prediction that in a month's time and a few weeks when they would receive their enrollment letters, they should've perfected the spell.

Now though, the enrollment letters were just a week and a few more days away from getting to them.

In just over a week and few days, just like the brothers had predicted, Arcana Academy began sending enrolment letters to various noble houses and youths as usual to invite them to join their new academic year.

Unknown to anyone though, a very big change was being implemented in this year's enrollment which was going to catch every single youth off-guard. Aiden and Flynn included.

A change that was definitely as a result of their actions, but even they, in their wildest dreams, would never be able to understand just what they had done that had caused such huge changes.

Finally, on the first day of a weekend, letters for enrollment to Arcana Academy finally reached the Belmonts.

The letters had come in standard fashion, in a sheet of paper and an ornately designed envelope with gold & red engravings, a stark contrast to the digitized mails and letters that usually popped up in a small projection on their smartwatches, like a slice of bread from a toaster, which they were now completely used to.

Ivelia and Ivar upon receiving their letters had been surprised and elated to see that they had been given a fully funded scholarship by the Academy for their achievements in creating the advanced-grade healing potion.

Flynn and Aiden on the other hand, upon opening their own letters and reading its content, had glanced and stared at each other in confusion.

'What the hell did we do?!'. That was seemingly the question their eyes carried after glancing at each other.

Perusing through the letter's contents once again to ensure they had seen it right, both youths had looked at each other again, and in unison, had let out a rare curse from both of their mouths simultaneously.

"Ah fuck!"

Flynn? Aiden? What did you do???
