Vadena City
“Wow… look at that. Is that the new Borxton Max 3.0?”
“I heard that it costs at least 300 million mana stones! Heavens! If that’s converted to credits it could definitely feed ten generations of my family with no worries!”
“If I can ride such a luxurious car even once, I wouldn’t have any regrets even if I were to die after!”
The civilians that watched the long shiny black vehicle moving on the road can’t help but exclaim in admiration
Most things even if they are just your day-to-day objects once got a price tag that no normal people could afford would definitely gather everyone’s attention
The Borxton 3.0 is a luxury car that Daydream has developed. Most of the company’s projects all have to do with magic but they also create something like this
Their business is wide encompassing, they dipped their hands in almost all kinds of industries out there
Anything that they released would definitely attract people’s attention whether they are your average Joe or young masters from prestigious families
The luxury car ignored the comments thrown at it and just continued on its way. The car only stops when it arrived at a certain company building that has at least 50 floors
A steady stream of people go in and out of the company building and most of them can’t help but stare at the car that suddenly parked in front of the entrance
After parking, the driver’s door was pushed open and your average-looking guard went out to open the car door of the passenger seat
From it, a young man around 18 years of age walked out. He has dark hair and eyes with a facial feature that people would consider as handsome
However, he gave off a very unfriendly vibe. His eyes seem to hold a bottomless abyss of indescribable emotions in them. He was the type of person that people would choose not to approach if possible
Not to mention, whether it be his inner shirt, his long sleeve outer shirt that was open on the middle, pants, socks, and even shoes were completely black in color as if he just attended a funeral
“Sir Rezen, the Chairman is already waiting for you in his office” the driver politely said and guided Rezen inside the company building
Inside, more people wearing formal suits gathered around him as if they intend to block other people from trying to approach him
With that kind of display, the company employees naturally didn’t dare act badly. They stood on the side to give access to the apparent VIP that arrived
Instead of using the public elevator, Rezen used the private one that only those with a high enough position could use
He calmly walked inside and the elevator stops at the 48th floor. The 48th floor was where the office of the Chairman was located
The entire floor is dedicated to him and Rezen steps onto the shiny floor that looks as if they were created from glass
Along the way, he walked passed some office rooms, possibly the office of the Chairman’s secretaries
With how large the company and with the number of industries they dabbled in, it was normal for the chairman to have many secretaries under him
The office of the chairman was at the very end part of the floor. The people that guided him knocked on the door first before entering
Kacy’s office was your typical corporate office though it was large considering his position in the company
Some of the products that Daydreams sell were even displayed on a cabinet on the side. They were mostly pills considering that spirit plants that are not top-notch have to be processed first before they could be consumed
“Rezen, welcome” Kacy greeted with a smile. He acts perfectly normal but deep inside him, he was sighing
He naturally is aware of the unfortunate passing of Rezen’s parents and he even feels bad
As soon as his meeting with Rezen concluded, he immediately returned to Vedena City. As such, he was not present when the Twighlight Beast attacked
He can’t help but think that if he was still present back then, he might have been able to prevent the death of Rezen’s parents
However, he just feels a bit bad considering that the two of them aren’t really close
Rezen nodded his head and he sat on the chair prepared for him and he gave Kacy a signal
“You may withdraw” Kacy said to his men and they all went out of the office, standing guard outside
“So… how may I help you with?” He asks curiously
If it was as ridiculous as destroying the Twighlight Beast, Kacy would definitely refuse. The other side after all has its fair share of 7th rank mages
Beings at that level wouldn’t offend others just for the sake of the business that Rezen could provide to Daydream
“Are you willing to gamble for the sake of benefits that you could only get from me?” Rezen asks directly. He is in no mood for beating around the bush
“Oh, what kind of gamble?” Kacy asks in interest and Rezen waved his hand causing two objects to appear on the table
“Pepper? Carrots?” Kacy blinked his eyes repeatedly. He is aware of Rezen’s hobby of planting but what do peppers and carrots have to do with anything
“You’re probably already aware of what happened to your daughter when I first met her. These items could do the same to you. The carrots have time-limited effects while the pepper could prevent you from turning against me though it wouldn’t affect your life too much”
“Are you willing to gamble and consume these items for the sake of special benefits?”
Rezen is aware of the magic contract that Kacy couldn’t betray him. But he still felt insecure. He needs to show ‘power’ with the help of his mutated crops
At normal times, he would just slowly but steadily improve his power but right now, he is impatient. Despite not having enough strength yet, he is forced to offer another business deal with Kacy that is definitely way better than the ones they originally already has
“May I first know what the benefits are?” Kacy asks while narrowing his eyes. The pepper and carrot contain traces of mana on them but they clearly aren’t spirit plants
How could they do what Rezen claimed they could?
“My apologies but I can’t. All I can say is that it’s something that you definitely would want to have”
“Ohooo… don’t you think that this was a bit ridiculous? I don’t even know what these things could do yet I have to consume them before you tell me what exactly I could get?” Kacy mused
Who would actually eat these things with unknown origin and effects all for the sake of Rezen disclosing something that he could give?
“You’re a businessman. You have your intuition, what exactly is your intuition telling you?” Rezen replied
“Hahahahaha!” The chairman suddenly burst into a fit of loud laughter. His voice echoing in his office
After he finished laughing, he stared at Rezen with amusement all over his eyes
“Indeed, I’m a businessman. My instincts are telling me that I couldn’t let go of this opportunity but…”
Kacy suddenly stops talking as the pressure that comes from a 6th fusion rank mage was exuded by him
“Although I cannot do anything to you directly and indirectly but if these items are actually a bad thing and the 7th rank mages learned of what happened then although I would have to convince them to not act because of the contract, they wouldn’t listen to me. No funny actions, do you understand?”
No matter what, Kacy is still someone that is truly at the peak of the world. If he was fooled by Rezen then even if he has to help Rezen and prevent him from dying, the 7th rank mages would definitely not listen to someone like him
“Rest assured, these are simple precautions on my side”
Rezen is also apprehensive of the 7th rank mages especially after witnessing the kind of power that they have
That’s the reason why Rezen didn’t try to use his mutated pea. He doesn’t want to risk angering those legendary mages
Kacy grabbed the piece of carrot and peppers before swallowing them directly in a fearless manner
One of the reasons why he could be bold is because of his backing. He doesn’t believe that Rezen could do something that even his backing couldn’t solve
7th rank mages are just in an entirely different realm! They were like the gods of earth!
“Blind…” Rezen muttered and Kacy’s vision instantly turned dark
He knew that a similar thing happened to his daughter but he was still surprised to personally experience it
The loss of his vision was so abrupt. He can’t even understand the mechanism behind this phenomenon
“I can temporarily make you blind with the carrot. As for the pepper… if you try to betray me… I’m afraid that even the people behind you wouldn’t be able to save you”
