Chapter 507 - Remuneration

"He actually turned a platinum-tier potion into a diamond-tier potion. Is he for real?"
Klein could not help but stroke his beard and exclaim as he watched Duke Piggy transform into a dragon.
"Don't you find that ability very familiar? It's just like what Young Master Watson usually does," Veronica said.
Usually, when Watson used the fusion system, he would instantly fuse the item and make it more advanced. Duke Piggy's ability was similar to Watson's, but it was not as fast and efficient as Watson's.
"I didn't know about Duke Piggy's ability to convert an item into something more advanced. No wonder Young Master Watson said that Duke Piggy's talent is higher than mine, and he even gave him a hundred times more than my salary."
Even Deena could not help but mutter to herself as she looked at the God-eating Dragon floating in front of her.
She had always thought that Duke Piggy could convert the things he ate into something else. That ability was powerful because as long as he kept eating, his achievements would not be lower than the average genius even if he did not work hard to cultivate.
However, such talent had a limit. Duke Piggy could only transform food; he could not do anything with non-edible or poisonous items. However, with Watson's help, Duke Piggy had become a dragon. He could do an external transformation, which was different.
An external transformation proved that Duke Piggy could create all kinds of high-tier potions and weapons out of thin air. Those things could be worth a lot of money if converted into gold coins if not used as weapons. It was not something Deena could do. She could only charm others.
"Miss Deena, I wonder if you still have any objections about me giving Duke Piggy a hundred times your salary after seeing his ability." At that point, Watson turned his head and spoke to Deena with a smile. During that process, Duke Piggy had returned to his human form.
After advancing to the diamond tier, Duke Piggy's appearance was somewhat different from before. First of all, even though he was still fat, one could say that he had muscles. His body looked ripped. However, he still held on to the drumstick in his hand.
After becoming the God-eating Dragon, he gained great strength, and the hunger that he often felt had disappeared as well.
"That is all thanks to Watson."
Duke Piggy looked excited. He usually felt a little inferior to others; he also felt like he might not be able to meet Watson's requirements. However, his inferiority complex was replaced by confidence. Since he could create something worth tens of millions of gold coins, he did not think much about Watson's reward for him.
With that thought in mind, he subconsciously picked up the Dragon Transformation Potion in his hand. It was exactly the same as the one he had taken. Since he had taken the potion, he could recreate it. However, making such a potion required a lot of his strength; he could only make ten in a day.
Deena's expression seemed complicated. She sighed and said, "Young Master Watson, you've won. Duke Piggy's talent is indeed better than mine. No, it is far better than mine."
She was convinced of that fact. Initially, she felt like her talent was stronger compared to Duke Piggy's. She had always treated Duke Piggy as her underling. However, that had changed. She realized that her underling's talent was stronger than hers. She was a little disappointed.
"I'm just proving my judgment to you, Miss Deena. My judgment will never be wrong, but Deena, you don't have to be so dejected. I also value your talent very much." Watson smiled.
A person who could enchant others with their voice and beauty was the best choice for conveying a message to the people.
He knew that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was undergoing many changes due to his plan.
If those changes were carried out at a normal rate, he would need to wait for a few years. Watson could not wait that long. Perhaps Deena could be of help to him.
"Yes, Deena, my talent is actually not as good as yours. You have always stood up to protect me when I was in trouble! Young Master Watson should have given you the Dragon Transformation Potion. I have another Dragon Transformation Potion if you want it."
Duke Piggy spoke before picking up the Dragon Transformation Potion in his hand. However, Deena said, "Forget it, Duke Piggy. Young Master Watson did not give me the Dragon Transformation Potion, which means that I am not qualified to take that potion for the time being! Even if you give it to me now, I will not accept it."
"I'm sorry, Young Master Watson. I forgot to ask if I can give that potion to Deena." Duke Piggy scratched his head foolishly.
"For the time being, I can't give that potion to Deena because that is my reward to you." Watson took the Dragon Transformation Potion from Duke Piggy's hand and found that it was almost the same as what he had created. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Now that the Abedor family has started to sell the Blessings of the Gods and Demons potion, there are many families who buy it. However, when those wealthy families bought most of our stock and when we get even more platinum-tier elites in the kingdom, that potion would be useless. Then, we would need to come up with something even stronger."
Watson narrowed his eyes. The noblemen in the Holy Dragon Kingdom had their own businesses. He needed to convert those businesses into gold coins and move them into his hands. It could weaken the wealth of the noblemen and increase their own strength—killing two birds with one stone.
"Duke Piggy, from now on, you have to make that Dragon Transformation Potion every day and put the completed potion at the Severed Fingers Gang's headquarters! Of course, if you make enough Dragon Transformation Potions, I'll allow you to keep some with you. If you want to give it to others, I won't care about that."
"Seriously? Don't worry, Young Master Watson, I'll work hard to make the potion."
Duke Piggy, who had been upset that he could not give the potion to Deena, became excited again after hearing Watson's words. He patted his chest with pride.
"You have your mission. From tomorrow onward, after class, the two of you can come and work with the Severed Fingers Gang!"
Watson waved his hand and motioned for Duke Piggy and Deena to go back and inform their families to pack their things. After Duke Piggy used his transformation ability to create ten portions of the Dragon Transformation Potion, Watson gave them their salary for that month and let them leave the Severed Fingers Gang's headquarters.
Then, a group of Severed Fingers Gang's higher-ups surrounded Watson.
"Young Master Watson, I wonder if you can give us that Dragon Transformation Potion. I'm willing to pay for it!" Veronica pointed at the potions in Watson's hand, not concealing the desire in her eyes at all.
"Idiot, why would Young Master Watson give such a precious potion away for free? Veronica, aren't you being too arrogant? I don't need such a precious potion." Klein said politely, his gaze remaining fixed on the Dragon Transformation Potion. Selling the potion was definitely not as tempting as consuming it directly, but it was still a big deal.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Klein, you're a bank boss, so why don't you leave that job to me?"
"No, leave it to me."
The higher-ups began to quarrel, causing Watson to have a headache.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Stop arguing. It depends on which of you performs the best this month.. That person will obtain the right to sell the potion."
