Andrew said calmly, "We only have fewer than five alchemists in total, including myself. So, at this stage, fulfilling Iron Sword Sect's entire order would be impossible."

Franco froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded. Andrew had just admitted it outright, no excuses, no dodging, and no attempt to soften the blow.
