Hearing the secretary's words, my face changed drastically!
I knew that Sarah Anderson was not an ordinary person, but I never expected that Miss Anderson would be the investor of the Anderson Family of the Sterling City!
"Sarah...Sarah Anderson..." I suddenly understood.
No wonder Sarah Anderson had such a powerful aura, no wonder my father said the Anderson family would take care of me, and no wonder Albert Turner was so afraid of Sarah Anderson....
"Now you know the difference between you and our Miss Anderson, right?" The secretary seemed quite satisfied with my reaction.
I was silent for a long time.
At this moment, I suddenly said, "So what! One day, I will be on an equal footing with the Anderson family!"
"Besides, Miss Anderson has never looked down on anyone because of her status!"
The secretary's face gradually turned cold.
"You really don't know what's good for you." The secretary said coldly.
"If you know what's good for you, stay away from our Miss Anderson!"
After dropping those words, the secretary turned around and got into the car, no longer paying attention to me.
Indeed, the Anderson family was a high and mighty existence, but the inheritance left by my father filled me with confidence!
The herbs were delivered to the courtyard.
After learning of Sarah Anderson's identity, the pressure in my heart inevitably increased a lot.
"If I can reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, even the Anderson family would have to treat me as an equal, right?" I thought to myself.
I wasted no time and immediately began refining the Qi Gathering Pill according to the method in my mind.
The refinement of the Qi Gathering Pill was extremely simple and could be made with a common iron pot.
However, due to my unfamiliarity with the technique, I failed seven or eight times before successfully refining a pill.
By evening, I had a total of five Qi Gathering Pills in my hand.
"These five Qi Gathering Pills are enough for me to reach the Second-Layer Qi Refining Stage." I thought to myself.
I didn't waste any time and immediately swallowed the five Qi Gathering Pills into my stomach.
The moment the Qi Gathering Pills entered my stomach, I suddenly felt a surge of heat erupting within my body!
Then, the energy traveled throughout my body before slowly sinking into my dantian!
I closed my eyes slightly, and every acupuncture point in my body was shimmering with a dark light.
An hour later, a crackling sound like popping beans came from my body!
Soon after, I opened my eyes with a "whoosh!"
At this moment, the timidity in my eyes vanished, replaced by indescribable confidence!
"The power of the Second-Layer Qi Refining Stage is so strong." I gently clenched my fist, feeling the unprecedented strength filling my body!
My body also became extremely light!
This strength allowed me to regain my lost confidence!
Before I could even enjoy this power, there was a sudden knock on the door.
I hurriedly got up and went towards the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw Sarah Anderson standing at the entrance.
Next to her was a tall, burly man.
Sarah Anderson blinked and asked, "Did you receive all the herbs?"
I gratefully said, "Miss Anderson, thank you so much."
Sarah Anderson exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Anderson? How did you know my last name is Anderson?"
I wryly smiled, "I'm just too stupid. I should have guessed earlier."
"Dummy, what does it matter if you guessed it or not?" Sarah Anderson stood on tiptoe, gently patting my head.
----
If others saw this endearing gesture, they would certainly be shocked.
----
I invited Sarah Anderson into the house, and they all sat down at the table in the courtyard.
"Let me introduce you." At that moment, Sarah Anderson pointed to the burly man standing behind her.
"This is my bodyguard. To prevent you from being bullied, I'll let him follow you from now on," Sarah Anderson laughed.
Hearing this, I hurriedly shook my head, "Miss Anderson, thank you for your kindness, but...I don't need anyone to protect me anymore."
Sarah Anderson rolled her eyes, "Albert Turner may not dare to bother you, but who can guarantee that others won't?"
"This bodyguard is a retired member of the Crestwood Training Division. He should be able to handle seven or eight people."
I glanced at the bodyguard and shook my head, "My current strength may not be inferior to his."
A look of surprise flashed across Sarah Anderson's face.
----
In Sarah Anderson's impression, Tyler Thomas had always been humble. What was going on today?
----
"Are you looking down on me?" The bodyguard's face also had a trace of coldness.
I hurriedly waved my hands, "You misunderstand. I didn't mean that. It's just...I don't need your protection anymore."
----
What was originally a humble statement sounded incredibly arrogant in the bodyguard's ears!
----
The bodyguard said angrily, "Miss, please allow me to teach me a lesson!"
"No way!" Sarah Anderson didn't even think about it before she directly refused.
----
The bodyguard seemed to understand Sarah Anderson's concerns. He immediately pleaded, "Miss, don't worry. I will control my strength and won't hurt him!"
----
Before Sarah Anderson could speak, I hurriedly waved my hand, "It's not necessary. My hands are still a bit heavy, and I might hurt you..."
