128 Chapter 128
Rezen waved his hand, retrieving a piece of paper from his void storage ring that he handed to Kacy
“Sir Kacy, these are my demands. If there’s something you cannot agree on, please tell me so we can discuss it” Rezen said respectfully, kind of nervous inside him
He normally has no power to negotiate with a 6th fusion rank mage and even has a list of demands
This was only possible because of the contract that Claude and Kacy had in which the latter cannot harm Rezen in any way
As a businessman, as soon as Kacy received the paper, his countenance immediately changes
He had his business mode on as he read the few demands that Rezen has and in just a few moments, a smile formed on his face
“You’re a cute little thing. I can see that you are quite smart but sadly, you still lack experience. If not for my contract with the Dark Saint, I would definitely bleed you dry” Kacy said with a chuckle. He clearly looks amused while he stared at Rezen that felt uncomfortable
“Is there something wrong?” Rezen asks
“Nothing is wrong. I was just thinking that your demands would be excessive but in reality, they are almost nothing. From what I can see, you don’t know how valuable even just the metal potatoes are and you are also not aware of how binding the magic contract is. Your lists of demands reek of cautiousness and the desire not to offend me” Kacy replied playfully shocking Rezen
In Rezen’s eyes, his demands are already a bit excessive. One of his demands is even 500 million mana stones!
That’s a terrifying sum even for mages at the 6th fusion rank. Those strong mages might have that much money but they certainly would feel their heart ache by parting with a large sum
“Seeing how much the Dark Saint gives you importance, helping you would be beneficial for me. How about I broaden your horizons?” Kacy suggested and Rezen’s ears perked up, completely willing to listen
Rezen grabbed his glass of juice and sip on it while indicating Kacy to speak with his eyes
“Rich Mage Clans and organizations definitely have 500 million mana stones though they wouldn’t easily part with that large sum. In fact, even forces backed by 6th fusion rank mages would also feel pain”
“However, the entity that you are negotiating with is Daydream. This is a company backed by 7th rank mages and has business not just in our Eastern Country but also in other countries”
“To Daydream, even 500 million mana stones is not a heavenly sum. But of course, we also wouldn’t give that sum for no reason. Daydream as a business must gain something by giving that much”
“From what I can see, you are not aware of how the world works and I’ll give you one of the core ideas; the stronger the person is, the more they don’t want to die!”
The stronger the person is, the more they don’t want to die!
That sentence rang inside Rezen’s mind
“Your metal potatoes can be turned into various types of equipment, especially mage robes that have the ability to withstand attacks at the 6th grade”
“Now, there are materials that could also do the same. There are mage robes in the market that has that feature”
“However, those mage robes in essence just wouldn’t be destroyed or at least not be completely destroyed after they received an attack of the 6th grade. The impact from those spells would still affect the intended target”
“Even 6th fusion rank mages would die after receiving such spells. However, the mage robes that Daydream can create using your materials are different. Even the shockwaves and impact would definitely be blocked!”
“This means that as long as the spell doesn’t cover a person’s whole body, they can withstand 6th-grade spells with no worries!”
If it was that point, Rezen is already aware and that’s the reason why he even demanded 500 million mana stones upfront to upgrade his farm
“Now, going back, the stronger a person is, the more they don’t want to die. With Daydream having a monopoly of such great defensive equipment, receiving mana stones is secondary”
p<ᴀɴᴅᴀ>-ɴ0ᴠᴇʟ、ᴄᴏᴍ “The biggest thing we would obtain was power! Almost all clans and forces have to please Daydream if they want to receive our mage robes. No matter what and where Daydream would have the dominance in negotiations!”
“Even forces at the same level as us has to bow their heads. If not, we might decide not to sell them the mage robes!”
“With the mage robes as our product, we can make it so that other 6th fusion rank mages would be forced to have an agreement with Daydream. We can make it so that we can ask those mages to help Daydream if ever the company was in danger!”
“Connection and power, with the mage robes, Daydream would be untouchable!”
Rezen can’t help but hiss inside him. He didn’t expect that being able to produce that kind of equipment would result in such a large thing
It seems like although Rezen is quite smart, he is still far from the shrewdness of Kacy. He even felt like what Kacy was telling was just the tip of the iceberg!
With that picture painted, asking for 500 million mana stones is indeed too lacking
“If the Dark Saint returns, you should thank him greatly. If not for the contract, you wouldn’t know what kind of loss you would be having”
With Rezen’s horizon broadened, he started to increase his demand and the two took quite a long time speaking about the details
——
Hours later, Rezen went out of Kacy’s mansion with a smile of satisfaction. He gained more than he expected!
“An 18 years old mage at the 4th fusion rank… he’s even more terrifying than the Dark Saint. If the Dark Saint already has the potential to reach the 7th rank, what more for Rezen? This little bit of help and not taking advantage in return for a possible friendly relationship with a 7th rank mage is truly a bargain” Kacy muttered before bursting into a loud fit of laughter
He has the magic contract with Claude but at the same time, Kacy is optimistic about Rezen’s future
He already investigated Rezen and he knew that Rezen is just 18 years old. And from what Kacy had seen, Rezen is already a 4th fusion rank mage
Even at that age, Claude hasn’t reached the 4th fusion rank yet
Since Claude and Rezen have the potential to exceed the peak of the mortal world, he was more than willing to form friendly connections with them
“But… isn’t his absorption talent at ungraded? Just how did he reach this far in such a short period of time? Is this related to the Blessed Land he accidentally stumbled upon? I thought it was merely an inheritance of the Tattoo Warriors…”
“Well, no matter what, I don’t want nor can I offend him. If he received an inheritance in the Blessed Land, that’s his own luck”
——
“Zero, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Keito! Come here with me! We’ll celebrate! I received a big paycheck today!”
Rezen called his subordinates one by one. Zero to Five along with Keito were working on the farm or capturing magic beasts while Six to Ten were studying in the Rising Sage Academy
The money Rezen obtained today is more than enough to upgrade his farm and have the ability to grow spirit plants at quality 5
As long as Rezen had his farm absorb enough mana stones and complete whatever the advancement mission would be, his situation would be for the better
Right now, Rezen is still apprehensive over 6th fusion rank mages. But once he has thousands of defensive spirit plants at quality 5, even a 6th fusion rank mage wouldn’t make him too fearful
He naturally is in a good mood and this calls for a celebration!
After informing his subordinates, Rezen was about to search for some fancy restaurants when he received a call from his father and he naturally answered the call
“Hey, dad!” Rezen greeted
“Rezen, surprise! We are back at Greenwood City! Hurry and come, we have tons of presents for you!”
His father’s merry voice entered Rezen’s ears and he cannot help but chuckle. His heart was filled with warm emotions
Finally, after months, he would reunite with his loving parents. He would definitely give them a big surprise!
He even prepared gifts for them. There are expensive gifts he bought and also gifts that are only possible with the help of Rezen’s farm
He can’t wait to see his parents’ reactions when they receive his gifts for them!
Rezen received the location of his parents and he forwarded it to his subordinates
Anyway, Zero and the others might be artificial humans but they are almost no different than humans
They have their own emotions, personality, and mind. They could be considered part of the family now and Rezen even planned on having some of them become permanent guards of his parents
