The Strongest Businessman

"Are you sure?" Dylan asked for guarantee because undergoing Contrast Polymerization could risk Barry's life in two different ways. One, if a mishap were to happen during the fusion, it might cause him to become a cripple or even a corpse. Two, even if he were successful on the fusion, it has a high possibility of inciting a Heavenly Tribulation.

Dylan even estimates that such a Heavenly Tribulation should be only slightly weaker or even equally poweful to his because if Barry succeeds, his Avatar would definitely reach Grade 8 or even Grade 9! This constitution evolution could turn his only heavenly talent into a supreme one. Such an act definitely goes against heaven's will.

Barry shot a resolute look to Dylan and stated,"I am sure. I have already prepared all the Earth Rank Herbs I need. I have already braced myself for the worst outcome which is my death. So, if that time really comes, I hope you could..."

"Nonsense! Didn't you say you're going to personally take vengeance for your clan?! How can you say something like dying now? You spent centuries just to find a way to heal yourself and avenge your clan! You owe it to your parents, sibling, rather, your entire clan, that you shall avenge them with your own hands! So, don't throw your responsibility to me. I have already more than enough to deal with." Dylan seriously retorted back at Barry.

"Haha, you're right. How could I think of dying when I haven't even killed those old bastards? There is no way I can face my clan when I die if I don't do it first. I'm sorry for acting so pitiful. Thank you for reminding me my life mission, bro." Barry exhaled a mouthful of air and smiled gratefully. He offered his right hand for a grapple.

"Hahaha, didn't you already say why? What are brothers for?" Dylan smiled back. He locked his thumb with Barry's and grappled the other's fists. They moved closed to each other and patted each other's backs with their free hand. Quickly after, they released their grips and returned to their original positions.

"Let's go inside. I'm starving already." Barry grabbed his stomach while Dylan lightly laughed and followed hims inside.

...

After eating, Dylan went to the Soaring Garden Enterprise. There he was greeted by his employees and his customers.

"Sir Dylan! Are you feeling well now?" The beautiful petite girl named Lily exclaimed as soon as Dylan entered the store.

"Whoa. Sir Dylan, is it really okay for you to be coming here already?" Mary was also one of the employees who had shift today. When she saw Dylan, she immeadiately went over and asked.

"Do not worry about me. A little bit of pain won't kill me." Dylan calmly smiled and even joked about his injuries.

"If it isn't Sir Dylan, I heard you suffered from overexhaustion after overexerting yourself from training. Although it is important to be hardworking in cultivation, it is also important to be aware of our bodies condition." An old man who wasa regular customer of Soaring Diner gave a thoughtful account.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mister Joseph. I shall keep it to mind." Dylan respectfully replied. This excuse was what Dylan told his employees to do if someone wants to meet or find him.

"Hohoho, there is no need to be so polite in fron of this old man. I told you several times alread, just call me Old Man Jo." Old Man Jo chortled mildly.

"If that is what you are comfortable with, Old Man Jo." Dylan smiled warmly.

"Hahaha, sounds a whole lot better if I say so myself." Old Man Jo laughed.

Suddenly, an overly handsome young man who wore very luxurious robes suddenly entered the store. His skin and face seemed to be so perfectly crafted that it could cause girls to envy his beauty. However, he was perfectly manly with his demeanor and style. He was none other than the owner of the Excellent Tailors, Steph Raider!

Following him, the beautiful glasses wearing beauty, Caira Dowell was seen. Her beautiful straight black hair left a nice fragrance whereever she went and her beautiful eyes which are covered by her transparent only added to her elegance.

When he arrived near Dylan, it was as if two hansome princes met each other for a battle to the death. It seemed as if this scene was a painting that could be posted in a National Arts Museum. Seeing such a rare encounter, the girls, young and old, turned wild from the excitement:

"Kyaaah! The Fashion Prince and the Mr. Perfect in one roof!"

"Oh my gosh! They are both so perfect! My heart is going to explode!"

"If only I had a Recording Mirror to treasure this moment!!"

"Oho, such handsome young men if only I were younger, I would definitely take one for myself."

"Stop dreaming, old lady. Even if you were younger, the Fashion Prince and Mr. Perfect

...

The words and screams of the woman within and even outside the store were deafeaning. Mr. Perfect was the nickname that was unknowingly attached on Dylan.

This was solely because of his impeccable looks, a calm and warm disposition, incomparably intelligent, talented in both business and cultivation, and a terrifying background that awarded him such a nickname. A fan's club for him was already created unbeknownst to him.

"I wonder what Fashion Prince Steph is doing on our store." Lily asked Mary who was just beside her. She could not help but blsuh just from the glimpse of this two man together

"I don't know." Mary shook his head. In front of them, the two handsome man seemed to be frozen in time as neither one of them moved.

The next moment shocked everyone present! Because Fashion Prince Steph Raider actually knelt before Mr. Perfect Dylan Ford! "WHAT?!"

His next words sent everyone flabbergasted as they stared at them with shocked eyes, "I am glad that you are safe, my lord. Your servant has been concerned of your welfare as soon as I recieved the news of your illness."

"This... this..." Everyone rubbed their eyes and thought that they were seeing things. Mary, Lily, Ronald and the entire crew were gobsmacked. It was not just them the females who adored the two handsome men and the males whose attention were caught because of the ladies' frantic cries, were all dumbfounded.

The only one who had the most minimal reaction was Caira, whose poker face turned into a frown and Dylan who was still smiling despite the shocking movement that Steph did in front of him.

Everyone present knew how respected and high Steph's status was as a person who owns a sect which has a ranking of 201 and owns over eleven branches scattered in the Thunder Clouds City! Aside from his astonishing talent as a Magical Tailor, he is known to be very aloof and proud! They never would have thought that someone like him would kneel in front of somebody else.

"Stand up, you're causing too much of a disturbance. Let's go upstairs and talk business." After saying those words, Dylan quickly turned around.

Steph stood up and bowed as he acknowledged Dylan's orders, "Yes, my lord." After which, he looked at Caira who was behind her and said, "Guard the building. Do not let anyone disturb my talk with the lord. Understood?"

"Yes, my lord." Caira quickly acknowledged.

Just like that the two dream-like princes left, leaving everyone on the ground floor dumbfounded.

...

After the auction, Dylan allocated some of his funds and created two more sturdy floors for the two main buildings of his business. His office was now located on the fourth floor of the building. Dylan was currently sitting while Steph was standing behind him.

"How is the production of the clothes that I asked you to design faring?" Dylan drank his cup of tea before asking.

"It is going as splendidly as planned. By next week, we can get the Ford's Clothing Line fully operational." Steph humbly spoke while he poured tea on his master's cup.

"Good." Dylan nodded satisifyingly. After sipping another cup of tea, he asked, "I presume your master is already aware of your servanthood. How did he react to it?"

"He did not take it quite well, my lord." Steph replied in a despodent manner.

"I guess he was thoroughly enraged after learning that his greatest student is now a servant of a mere Spirit Gathering Realm." Dylan calmly replied.

"Unfortunately, he truly was infuriated by this fact. However, my opinion of this matter is different than his since I know how capable my lord is. I think that my service to you is only just." Steph replied with loyalty.

"Is that so?" Dylan merely smirked as he continued drinking his tea.

He could still remember the time that Steph first appeared in front of him after the auction. Even Dylan was shocked by how obedient Steph was to his orders. Having lost the bet, the terms of the Soul Lock Contract was immediately in effect.

On the night of the due date, Steph's personality changed. To be more accurate, it was his soul that changed. A soul imprint from Dylan's soul was created on Steph's soul while he was in his slumber, There was no significant change in his overall personality and self aside from his complete submission and loyalty towards Dylan when he woke up.

On that day, Dylan immediately called upon the three Magical Tailors under Steph. After saying some words, he ordered Steph to take them to their dungeon and were to be slapped for 100 times by someone who was two realms above them. Just like how that feminine young man, slapped Loraine who was two realms lower than his.

Dylan kept his end of the bargain and made them pay a hundredfold for what they did to the members of his family. Of course, the three died miserably after the torture Dylan ordered.

After which, he learnt that Steph actually had a master named Oliver Guess who was from a sect that was in the Top 30 of the Sect Rankings. It was named the "Fabulous Tailors" and had an integral part within the city. The most troublesome thing was he was high ranking ranking elder with a Heavenly Connection Realm cultivation.

Although he was shocked by his status and cultivation, he thought that it only made sense that a talented person like Steph would have such powerful and capable master. He knew that this guy would soon come find trouble for him but he was already prepared for him.

But Dylan really gained a lot from this bet, he not only have a talented Magical Tailor, who was at the Palace Formation Realm, as a servant. He also had taken over big business like Excellent Tailors because of it. He even had the bonus of Caira Dowell, an archer beauty at the Palace Formatio,n who pledged her loyalty to Steph!

'With this, my overall strength has increased yet again. My plan has also been accelerated by a large margin takes to this bet. So my next course of action is...' Dylan thought calculatively with a confident smile on his face.
