The hall was already full even before half past six. Instead of it being an industrial exchange, people here were more eager about
the fact that Dominic's secret apprentice would be present.
Dominic was the best in the world regarding his medicinal skills. He had no more than five apprentices, and rumor was that he was
extremely strict and demanding of them.
However, a few years ago, he suddenly took in another apprentice and declared that he would keep the identity of his new
apprentice a secret. Since then, he had stopped taking in apprentices.
The new, young person lucky enough to be Dominic's apprentice naturally aroused everyone's interest. They were curious to see
what kind of individual could have such an honor. The highlight was that everyone heard that the apprentice was young.
For Dominic to favor him must mean this person was no stranger to the outside world.
However, the people present today were acquaintances and knew each other. Naturally, none of them were Dominic's apprentices.

Lily had been here for a while. She had never enjoyed a buzzing crowd, so she found a quiet comer to sit in as she enjoyed the
food with contentment.
She would not have cif it were not because Alexander had insisted on her coming and that people from the research institute
would also be present. She wanted to hear the experts’ opinions and look for inspiration for her new project-Blossom.
If Lily did not have to attend the event, she would have been building blocks with Galen at home. She yawned at the thought of
that.
Maybe it was because of how quiet she was, or maybe it was the place where she sat, but no one seemed to notice her. Then she
heard footsteps walking toward her.
Just as Lily hesitated on whether to get up and change places, the footsteps stopped, and a woman's voice followed. “Mr. Langston,
tellthe truth. Is Mr. Fike's secret apprentice Austin Fike?"
Although the woman was trying to keep her voice low, the anxiety in her voice was unmistakable. It intrigued Lily, and she sat
down again to listen.
Then an older man's helpless laughter echoed. “Mrs. Moore, I've told you countless times. | honestly have no clue."
“All right, Mr. Langston. Everyone knows you and Mr. Fike have been friends for years. How can you not know about it? What is
there to be embarrassed about? | know Mr. Fike wants to keep a low profile and not make a fuss, but it's just that with my situation,
| must know who it is. | promise | won't tell anyone else if you tell me, okay?"
"It's not that | don't want to tell you. | genuinely have no idea who it is. Although Dorn and | have been friends for years, he hardly
left the house these past few years and refused to have any visitors. | have no clue who this secret apprentice of his is."
After a pause, he continued, "Mrs. Moore, why do you insist on finding out who this secret apprentice is? Medicine is so advanced
now, and even a general practitioner can cure Ms. Rollins’ illness. Besides, if the doctors couldn't do anything, Dorn has other
known apprentices.”
The woman smiled wryly. "Mr. Langston, what kind of joke are you cracking? Everyone knows two of Mr. Fike's apprentices had
passed away while another two were untraceable as they had left to travel the world.

"The last one standing went abroad and had been visiting war-torn countries all year round. This secret apprentice, | heard, is
young and intelligent. He has always stayed by Mr. Fike's side. On top of that, he's in Kingsland!"
She whispered, "Who knows if he'll even show up to our banquet today?"
“Even if he did, you won't know who it is." Sighing, the old man said, "I think you..."
"I think if he did, we would be able to spot him in a crowd,” the woman interjected, “Look, we're familiar with most of the guests
present. If there's someone we've never seen before, the possibility of him being Mr. Fike's secret apprentice is high."
Lily, who had been eavesdropping, wanted to laugh at the woman's logic. She wondered why the woman was so fixated on
someone new being Dominic's apprentice.
‘Why is she so sure Dominic has chosen none of her acquaintances to be his secret apprentice?’
Lily shook her head and sipped her drink. She had not seen anyone from the research institute. She had been in touch with them,
and they told her the representative was a young man with the surn“Fike.” She tried to contact him, but the other party never
replied.
