The Strongest Businessman

Chapter 115 115: The Second Phase 2

"Ohhh, I see. But I thought you weren't? interested in teaching him. What made you change your mind? Is it due to his achievement in the Noble Test the day before yesterday?" Azelmek calmly inquired.

"Partly yes but that is not all. I watched him from afar yesterday and saw his competence with regards to business by making a deal with four powers who are at the top 200 of the city's Sect Rankings." Dylan answered unperturbed. He felt a little bit embarrassed inside that he had to praise himself like that.

"Oh, that business deal truly surprised me. I would never had thought that he would make use of our Premier Hall's prestigious name to have some benefits. I must commend him though because he was able to make that deal without giving anything in exchange. He is humble and courteous but his cunning and wit is something you wouldn't normally see within a 18 year old boy. Hahaha!" Azelmek laughed while praising Dylan's performance yesterday. The information network of the Premier Hall is so formidable that he was able to receive the news of Dylan's public negotiation using the Premier Hall.

"I agree. But that isn't? all." Dylan responded.

"What redeeming quality does he have aside from his comprehension ability and competency in business?" Azelmek was slightly surprised. He did not know how this country bumpkin got the attention of such an overwhelmingly strong expert who has an unfathomable cultivation prowess and magnate strength.

"His potential as a Mystical Magnate!" Dylan uttered with a low voice.

"What do you mean by his potential? I can't seem to recall him having showed any potential within the city." The stern-looking old man asked.

"All I can say that the density of his Magnate Strength is almost comparable to a 4th tier Magnate without any training." Dylan spoke.

"Impossible! Such a genuis is even rare within the capital much less some bumbkin who came from a Middle Proximity City!" Azelmek was left astounded by Dylan's answer. He never expected that the brat would have such a talent. Having the density of a 4th tier without any proper guidance?! This can only mean that his talent was already at the A-Grade! He just couldn't believe it.

"Are you implying that my senses have gone wrong? I maybe old but I can surely crush you without even lifting my finger!" Dylan activated his Heavenly Eyes and emitted the supreme aura of a true tyrant!

"O-of course not, master! I would not even dare!" Azelmek screamed in panic.

'Wa..what is this?!' Azelmek could not believe his eyes. When he saw those radiant x-shaped pupils under the sahde of that black cloak, he felt that Dylan became 10 times as big as he was and the pressure he was feeling took away his ability to breathe.

'This pressure?! Could it be?! Has he completely mastered the Heavenly Eyes?! Just how terrifying is this man?!' Azelmek felt his body was carrying an entire mountain! He couldn't even move his fingers and could only grit his teeth while staring blankly at Dylan.

Heavenly Eyes were myths for most people so it was only understandable that Azelmek did not know how those eyes could be used. When he witnessed it being activated, he immediately thought that Dylan had already mastered it.

However, the truth of the matter is that Dylan was just recklessly using it's power by giving out such a suffocating pressure. Thankfully, Dylan's face was covered by the hood of the cloak or else Azelmek would have seen how much sweat was being excreted on his face.

"I'll spare you for now. Do it again or the consequences will be even more severe." Dylan coldly said as he closed his eyes to deactivate the Heavenly Eyes.

'Dammit, using the pressure of the Heavenly Eyes and the Supreme Core is too much for me to even maintain for 5 seconds!' Although Dylan may have appeared calm, he was really feeling the toll of using the Supreme Core and Heavenly Eyes so recklessly at the same time. Dylan had to release a large amount of pressure in a burst in order to intimidate someone as experienced as Azelmek. So, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to breathe normally like what he did was only natural.

"Thank you so much, sir." Azelmek stood up and bowed with a perfect 90 degree angle!

"Hmph, so will you accept this request of mine or not?" Dylan harrumphed coldly.

"It is my honor to do so." Azelmek was not foolish and he knew that he could not take any chances of being careless and let this opportunity slip away. So he did not hesitate and continued, "But could I presumptuously request something in exchange?"

"Trying to make a bargain for yourself, eh. Fine, what is your request?" Dylan quickly commented.

"After taking him as a disciple, can I ask Master Null to help me with my cultivation?" Azelmek straightforwardly requested while maintaining the bow.

"Hm, it depends on how well you will nurture the child. If you succeed, then I will teach you some pointers but if you could not even do something as simple as such, then I would not even bother." Dylan frankly spoke.

"Yes, sir." Azelmek understood the deal and gladly accepted.

'Second Phase, complete.' Dylan smiled under the shade of the hood. He knew that if he trained, with his talent, it would only take him half a year if fast and one year if slow to reach the peak of 9th tier of the Magna Magnate. By that time his strength would soar as he could use his Magnate Strength to supress his opponents from using their full strength.

After that, Dlan and Azelmek talked about business for a while. After 20 minutes, Sheldon walked in and respectfully greeted Dylan. Azelmek filled him in with the details which made the fatty jump from joy.

After an hour of discussion about? Business, Dylan was finally able to settle his end of the deal on the partnership with the four. He was also able to secure a food and herb supply from the Premier Hall because of his revisions and pointers on the implementation of the profit increasing method he gave to Azelmek.

"That is all for today. Now that we have settled the deals. It's time for me to leave the city." Dylan said in his low deep voice.

"Master, is leaving?! For how long?!" Sheldon was shocked as he heard of this matter.

" For six months." Dylan answered directly.

"But, where are you going?" Sheldon asked once more.

Azelmek who was sipping his wine suddenly said, "Master, Are you going for the Immortal Saint Tomb found at the mountain range near Soaring Cloud City?"

"What Immortal Saint Tomb?" Sheldon curiously interrupted. He had not heard of such a news recently.

"The famous tomb that was rumoured to have a white mist that covered 1 km away from the tomb itself. It is rumored that anyone who enters go to attempt and reach the tomb will die the moment he comes into contact with the white mist!" Azelmek informed Sheldon.

"..." Dylan naturally heard all of this because he was within the room. He might have remained silent but in reality, he was shaken to his core.

'An immortal tomb near the Soaring Cloud City?!' Dylan could not believe what he heard. Being a former citizen of the city for 15 years, it would not be a shock that Dylan almost knew every single one of the tales of how the city came to be and this includes it's myths but never had he heard that there was a hidden tomb somewhere near the city.

"How come I haven't heard of it? The news of such a tomb would be a top secret information so I would have known right away." Sheldon asked with shock apparent in his face. He knew what an Immortal Tomb meant! It meant that Immortal Saint level treasures and techniques would be found within!

"This is because the news itself was only reported to me this morning and I was planning to also tell you this after I arrived at the office. The discovery of the tomb was only known yesterday." Azelmek explained.

"Then, what are we still waiting for, Hallmaster? Shouldn't we gather an elite force to infiltrate the Immortal Saint Tomb immediately? Surely, other competitions would have already started gathering theirs because of the price of such a tomb! We have to act fast!" Sheldon knew exactly what to do in this kinds of discoveries so he naturally told Azelmek what he had in mind.

"That was my first reaction as well but it is said that all of the leading forces and sects of each state has arrived and ready to take care of the rage. As early as now, we can already say that the treasures within the tomb is already as good as theirs." Azelmek told another piece of important information.

"No way?! Every super sect has gathered?! Then, there truly is no hope left for us... Wait a second... If they already found the tomb before us, how come they were not able to get a hold of the tomb yet? Is it because of the killing mist around it? How come we even recieved the information? With their strength, they could easily have easily shut the information out?" Sheldon said with a questioning look.

"Yes, it is because of the mysterious mist that completely surronds the tomb. Apparently, they are still unable to find anything that could penetrate the mist. Thus, they are inviting different types of top 10 powers from the Inner Cities all over the Mystic Red State. They are very eager to get into the tomb that they were able to disseminate information about it." Azelmek revealed.

"..." Sheldon fondled his moustache and said nothing.

"Anyways, is the Immortal Saint Tomb the place you would be going to, Master?" Azelmek turned to Dylan and calmly questioned.

Dylan simply shook his head to reply, implying that he has no plans in going there.

"So, that's what it was. So are we going or not?" Sheldon was left silent for a moment before saying what was on his mind.

"We will since there are 2000 slots per power. We can gather some of our elite trrops and have the move out in three days which will be the same date that the other powers from our city would be departing." Azelmek decided impromptu and quickly nade arrangements.

"Okay. I will make the preparations who knows we may even get some of the treasures on the entrances of the tomb." Sheldon grinned happily as he said.

"I suggest that you don't go." Dylan who has been silent for all this time, suddenly uttered something.

"Why so, Master?" Sheldon and Azelmek spoke at the same time.

"Because I think the super sects are only using the top powers of the Red State. Based on what you have said, they were gathering a 20,000 elites from each city, right? As far from what I know there are a total of 56 Inner Proximity Cities in the whole Red state. If it is a given that all the Top 10 powers will send 2000 disciples, that would amount to more than one million people, right?" Dylan asked them.

"Assuming that all 56 cities would do so. Yes, everything that you said is right." Azelmek nodded along with Sheldon.

"Being all elites from the top 10 powers, every single one of them would be at least at the Palace Foundation Realm. Think about it gathering a million people just for them to try out their own methods? That would be absurd! Wouldn't that mean that they are simply admitting that their methods are inferior to the Top 10 Powers of every city? I doubt it since those arrogant fools would think otherwise." Dylan continued with his line of thought.

"Uh..." Sheldon and Azelmek looked at each other with shock. Dylan's words suddenly woke them up. He was right. He was completely right! Now, everything about the news seemed questionable! Cold sweat dripped down their faces as they felt that they almost fell to a trap if it were not for Dylan saying anything.

"From your expressions, I guess you have realized it by now. The super sects or the Big 6 is using the allure of the tomb to gather a large amount of strong people! They are using the greed of human nature to get what they desire. I suspect that they already have thought of a method or methods that could potentially make the tomb open. I can think of two methods that they could use based on how many people they are trying to consolidate. Blood Sacrifice and Life Extraction!" Dylan coldly stated.
