Weapon seller in the world of magic

After a long silence, Mark gave his reply to Tang Yifan, who seemed to be prepared for anything, "Alright, I'll accept your offer."

Tang Yifan clenched his fist once again, but this time, it wasn't because of frustration, but due to his excitement about winning.

On the other hand, Fu Shen sighed in relief in his heart, "Thank goodness. If this young master of our clan took it as an insult and become reckless, it would have been troublesome."

Meanwhile, the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty let out a victory smirk, "It is good that you took the wise decision, Lu Zhen. Anyway, I'm returning to the palace. Until you leave, you will be the guest of the Empire. So, feel free to spend as much time as you want, for the last time."

Once he said whatever he wanted, the young emperor took out a scroll from his sleeves and poured his ether energy into it.

As it lit up, he then looked at Mark once again, "Goodbye, Lu Zhen. I hope we will never meet again."

He turned into specks of light and disappeared from the place. Mark, on the other hand, continued to stare at that place in calmness.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Mark was still in deep thought, Fu Sheng interrupted him, "Young Master… young master…"

"Yes?"

"Are you having second thoughts about your decision?" He asked.

Mark didn't give him the answer. Instead, he asked a question in return, "What do you think?"

"I think you made the right decision," Fu Sheng replied in a serious tone. "Even if I made a breakthrough, I still couldn't compare to the likes of my master. Due to a curse, which constantly leaks his aura, he imprisoned himself in a dimension he created. But, that won't stop him from shielding Emperor Tang. His range of attack also extends to a thousand kilometers.

So, it would have been impossible for us to escape his wrath. Furthermore, Void Temple's Patriarch is another one to worry about. He is the founder's brother and is involved in the matters of the imperial family too.

I guess the young master probably thought the same and came to the conclusion that it is not worth making an enemy out of the Tang Dynasty for no reason."

"Heh, do you really I'm afraid of killing him?" Mark's eyes changed all of a sudden. Coldness replaced his calmness.

Fu Sheng couldn't help but furrow his brows, "What do you mean?"

Mark replied, "Tang Yifan is nothing more than a disposable puppet. Kill him, then, someone else will replace him. I think he knows that too. It is why he dared to challenge me even after knowing of your betrayal. Killing him will not solve the issue.

And Killing the Empire's founder and destroying the Void Temple will only make this world more vulnerable to extraterrestrial attacks and invasion of beasts. He needs to be destroyed on a cellular level."

"Cellular level? Extraterrestrial attacks?" Fu Sheng never heard of such terms in his life. At the same time, he was quite surprised by the sheer level of overconfidence in Mark, as if everything was in his grasp. "What are you planning on doing?" He asked.

Mark didn't explain it and merely said, "You are following me to Lunaris City, right? You will soon understand."

Fu Sheng was once again slightly taken aback, sensing something when his eyes met Mark's eyes, "His face might resemble Brother Gengxin but they are poles apart. He might look harmless but when observed closely, this Lu Zhen has too much darkness. I can see it."

Several hours passed away.

During this time, the citizens were informed of the death of the Emperor and the ascendance of the new Emperor who had the acknowledgment from the Celestial Dragon spirit.

The guests who came for the auction were also invited to attend the coronation ceremony, three days later.

The Imperial Palace also sent an invitation to Mark with the intention of slightly mocking him but the latter sent a befitting response of sending back Dong Bao with a letter.

The letter stated that Dong Bao had already revealed the truth to him and was sent back with his head intact as a present for his coronation.

Mark didn't forget to inform him that he won't be attending the ceremony as he had many more important things to do, elsewhere.

Meanwhile, he and Qing Jie discussed the terms for their new business. It will be operated under Qing Jie's name on the outside but the firearms section will be entirely managed by Mark and his staff members, at least until Qing Jie and his staff members understand the firearms and everything about them.

Once Qing Jie understands everything about firearms and its business, he will take over the firearms section too and manage it on his own, getting a 10% commission at first, eventually acquiring the full rights to sell the firearms in Baize Empire, once he shows enough profits.

Fu Sheng was then given the task of escorting Qing Jie safely to his home. James and Eol joined them, under Mark's orders, one to keep an eye on Fu Sheng and the other as his representative to decide on a few nice locations for the joint business in Baize Empire.

As for Mark, he was on his way to Lunaris City with his ladies and his son from the future.

While they are busy chatting with each other, mostly, Song Yue asks Sylvandria about the elven world, James is taking a nap, and Mark is discussing his evil plans with Steve, the son who probably listens to his orders better than the righteous James. They were also talking in English so that his plans remained a secret from Song Yue and Shen Ling.

"But, you said that the Crown Prince is in hiding. Rather than searching for him and wasting a long time, isn't it better to kill Shang Jun and create a civil war? Shang Zexi will come out to claim the throne." Steve voiced his opinion after hearing the plan.

Mark shook his head, "If he dies that way, how would he suffer for his actions?"

Steve grabbed his chin and looked down, engrossing in thoughts.

After a while, he asked, "Hmm… why not abducting him? I can just go to the palace and grab him in a second."

"Nope, there is a troublesome demigod in the palace," Mark shook his head, rejecting his idea. "She might not be interested in supporting Shang Jun but she will definitely confront you before you get to the palace."

"Indeed, Grandma is the type to attack and then listen. Who knows what would happen if she learns my secret," As the 14-year-old agreed with his dad's assessment, Mark developed a frown on his face, "How are you familiar with her? Does in the future, we'll get along or something?"

"Well, actually, Grandma is…" Steve was about to say something but Mark interrupted him quickly, "Wait, don't tell. I don't want to hear what happens in the future. I don't know what kind of consequences it will have. Just letting you stay here for such a long time is already troubling enough. But, don't worry, I will find a way to send you back once I am done with my plans."

"I'm not talking about the future, Dad. I was just trying to say that Grandma is at the Dragon Empire, isn't she? If you abduct him before she and Grandpa gets back home, won't it be easier to abduct Shang Jun?"

"Eh?"
