The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 209 Aetherium Guild

Chapter 209 Aetherium Guild

After obtaining everything he needed from his father, Lux started to engage in business.

His first visit was to the leader of the Aetherium Pavilion.

In the Moonlight Empire, it could be said that, besides Maximus, the Aetherium Pavilion is the richest.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of the pavilion, Lux was greeted by Andre, the controller of the pavilion.

"It's nice to meet you, young master," Andre greeted respectfully.

He didn't know why this young master had come to him.

Prime Minister Doran had only told him that the son of His Majesty would discuss business with him.

However, seeing such a juvenile look, Andre couldn't help but doubt if he had heard Prime Minister Doran correctly.

Regardless, Andre put up a respectful attitude.

As the son of His Majesty, an order from him could get Andre kicked out of his position.

"Nice to meet you too, Andre. I've heard a lot about you," Lux said, not showing any timidity.

"Let's come inside and talk, young master."

"Sure, but just call me Lux. No need to be so respectful."

"Then let's talk inside,Young Master Lux." Andre repeated, still keeping a respectful attitude.

"Hmm."

Inside a magnificent office, silence hung in the air as two cunning business minds faced each other.

"Andre, I heard that you've managed the Aetherium Pavilion since the beginning." Lux started.

"Yes, I've been thankful for this opportunity presented by His Majesty all my life. "

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be what I am today," Andre said sincerely.

From a vegetable seller to the Empire's controller of wealth, it could be said that his journey was like heaven and hell.

Moreover, using all the resources he accumulated, he had reached the 5th tier in strength.

Making him one of the strongest in the empire.

"Then what are your thoughts on the Aetherium Pavilion? Are you planning to extend it beyond the continent?" Lux asked curiously.

As his future subordinate and possibly assistant, Lux had to be clear if Andre had the potential or was just a mediocre person.

"That's right. To be honest with you,Young Maste Lux, I have long planned to extend our business to the Arcane continent."

"However, just the Curse continent is already a challenge."

"Previously, we could do business with other islands, but now that there is a beast tide, we can barely move," Andre lamented.

With the unlimited support of Maximus, they were able to buy ships to do business with other kingdoms.

Little did they know that a few years later, a beast tide would sweep through the seas.

Now all these investments have gone down to drain.

A few months ago, Andre was a little sorry for a while, for disappointing His Majesty's trust in him.

At that time, he couldn't even sleep peacefully often having nightmares.

"What do you find difficult about doing business in the Arcane Continent?" Lux asked.

As for potential business in the Curse Continent, he didn't care about it for now.

In the ongoing Era of Imperial Domination, doing business here was too difficult and a waste of time.

Even if he earned huge war money if done right, it wasn't worth spending time in such a barren place.

There is not much value long term prospect in such a place.

Of course if his Father became the Holy Emperor everything would be different.

By then doing business, should be like picking money.

"Truthfully, I don't know much about the Arcane Continent," Andre admitted.

"But I just feel like the Aetherium Pavilion is not ready yet," he added without lies.

"Nice intuition but a lack of preparedness," Lux concluded.

Lux also knew that the Aetherium Pavilion was not ready.

Reading the information on the pavilion's personnel, this is the conclusion he came to.

Andre has such great business talent, being able to conclude what he can't.

However, all this inadequacy was not a problem now that Lux was in charge.

"Anyway, you're such a rough gem to be polished."

"How about it do you want to be my assistant?" Lux offered.

"Assistant?" Andre froze.

"What assistant? Aren't we here to talk about business? How can it seem like you're soliciting me?" Andre thought wildly

"Oh, right, I haven't told you my purpose, have I?" Lux laughed a little, forgetting why he came here.

"My father, the ruler of the Moonlight Empire, hereby grants me the authority to manage the Aetherium Pavilion."

"I thought I could just send you out to the farm. Who knew that you're also a great talent?" Lux spoke carelessly.

He didn't care what others thought.

With his father backing him, could they still disagree and refute him?

This news shocked Andre, and at the same time, a cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was nearly sent to a farm if it weren't for his ingenuity.

"How about it? Are you willing to be my assistant?" Lux asked with a smile.

"Of course. How can I disagree with being a subordinate of Young Master Lux?" Andre agreed immediately.

As for not being the manager of the Aetherium Pavilion, Andre didn't care anymore.

As long as he didn't get expelled from his position, everything was alright.

After all, this is what made him who he is today.

How can he just let it go in a fit of anger?

Andre thought that Lux was just playing and would sooner or later get bored.

After that, he could come back to his position as the manager of the Aetherium Pavilion.

After all, what does a kid know?

Anyway, His Majesty is rich; Lux can do whatever he wants.

"Then, nice working with you," Lux smiled.

"It's my pleasure, Young Master Lux."

"Oh~, then let's go; we still have a lot to do!" Lux stood up, not wasting any time.

"What are we doing, Young Master Lux?" Andre said, flattering.

"Of course, recruiting subordinates."

"You don't expect to use ordinary people to do business in the Arcane Continent, do you?"

"Doing business in the Arcane continent?" Andre fell into thought.

It seemed like the ambition of the young master in front of him was much bigger than he thought.

"Then who are we hiring?"

"Those pitiful graduate students; after all, they would have to venture outside for a while."

"It's just right to recruit them so they can have a little backing in the outside world."

Andre's mouth twitched at such a plan, and at the same time, he was somewhat envious.

Some time ago, he tried to hire students from the Moonlight Academy.

Who knew that they were so arrogant, treating money as if it were dung?

They would rather starve than get close to money.

...

A few hours later, Lux and Andre arrive at an open wasteland.

Now various higher-tier mages began constructing a recruitment station.

In just a few hours, a rough silhouette of a great city was built.

Since Lux decided to do good business, the first step is to create their main office.

Seeing expensive material just to build a recruitment station, Andre was a little dumbfounded.

It indeed the son of His Majesty, so willful doing whatever he wanted.

Soon, over a million students attended Lux's recruitment on such short notice.

All of these graduates were automatically accepted and divided into three categories.

First, the most important, the battle sector; the lifeblood of his great business plan.

In the Arcane continent, outside the boundaries of cities, it was a free-for-all.

All resources were yours as long as you acquired them—from spiritual plants and minerals to beasts, etc.

Unless it was private land, you were free to loot whatever you wanted.

Furthermore, the special feature of these wild lands was their enormous resources.

These resources were either artificially generated or planted for future generations to fight for.

You can get all these resources as long as you're willing to fight.

How can these newly graduated students resist such temptations?

They quickly sign up, fearing that the spots would be filled.

However, not all these newly graduated students are eager to fight.

Thus, another two sectors were given: the production sector and the service sector.

The production sector is for those like alchemists, mechanics, gastronomists, spiritual farmers, array masters, etc.

As long as they have a profession that produces value, they are welcome in the production sector.

Although it may not earn as much as the battle sector, safety is secured.

They just need to stay in a safe place and earn money; how can they still complain?

As for the service sector, they would be the managers of the Aetherium Guild.

That's right, a guild.

After getting permission from his father, Lux quickly set up a guild.

Although it's only a tier 1 guild, it gave Lux a lot of motivation.

This service sector cannot be joined by just anyone.

All of them need to pass different tests before undergoing an interview with Lux.

After all, it's the management team; how can Lux be sloppy?

Thus, a grueling recruitment and training ensued for a few months.

Looking at the millions of newly trained business soldiers, Lux smiled widely.

Now the first step is complete.

Lux is one step closer to emptying the pockets of the people in the Arcane Continent.

The people on the Arcane Continent also felt a little premonition.

They felt that a beast was staring at their hard-earned money.
