The Strongest Businessman

In the 2nd floor of Soaring Garden Main Building...

While Dyian and Rian were fighting with the low ranking sect alliance, his employees could not help but worry when they saw Dylan leave with Rian. They gathered there as it was there lunch break. The room had a heavy atmosphere because of everyone's anxiousness.

"What should we do? It has already been an hour since sir Dylan and Rian left. They still haven't returned... My cousin is still missing... *sobs*" Marie cried helplessly, covering her face with her hands.

She was anxious and deppressed knowing that her cousin who she treated like a sister was missing with no clue on her whereabouts. They grew up together and because of their similar appearance, they treated each other like twins and did everything together. Now that she went missing, she felt as if half of her world was gone.

The same goes for Dylan who went to find her without considering the dangers that it entails. She and Mary initially applied for the job for the sake of getting close to Dylan because of his handsomeness. But as time went on, she fell in love with who he was in the inside as well.

It was also similar to her job and her friends. The happy and fun times they spent, the stressful yet fulfilling work they did, the several life and death situation they overcame together with the others and many more. This brought forth the true sense of belonging and bond that was similar to her family.

This was also the reason why she and the others decided to follow Dylan instead of going with their families after knowing that their families were safely migrating to another city.

"Marie, it's alright. Sir Dylan will somehow find Mary and bringnher back to this city." Scott tried to console her.

"Really...?" When she heard Scott's words, she stopped sobbing and tried her best to wipe the tears off her face. Marie's eyes were still red and teary when she looked at Scott. Accompanied with her sweet breaking voice, she looked really cute.

"Uh... yeah." Scott was somewhat flustered. He looked opwards to avert her gaze and embarassingly answered her question. He looked at her again and though, 'She's still that pretty when she cries.."

"He's wrong, Marie" Ron suddenly spoke. His sudden interference darkened the mood even more.

*Sobs* Marie could not help but cry when her hope was quickly extinguished by Ron's statement.

"You fat jerk! How am I wrong?! This is not the right time to tease someone!" Scott quickly refuted.

"Correction: It is plump jerk, not fat jerk! Hmph!" Ron corrected Scott's words! After which, he continued, "Also, you haven't even let me finish my words! What I was trying to say was! He's wrong because Sir Dylan will not just SOMEHOW find Mary, he will DEFINITELY find her!"

Jack also approached Mary and warmly smiled," Ron is right. Sir Dylan promised to protect us just like how we promised to protect him. He will definitely find Mary. So, cheer up Marie."

"That's right! You wouldn't want Mary to see a frowning face when we welcome her back! We must wear our warmest and happiest smile when he comes back!" Ronald added enthusiastically.

"I..." Marie cried even more after hearing their encouragement and guarantee. It was just what she needed the most right now.

Tesa hugged Marie as she spoke comforting words, "Have faith in Sir Dylan. Nothing is going to happen to Mary with him personally doing the search. Plus, didn't you hear what he said when he left? Rian found her and he followed Rian without delay to find her as quick as possible."

The other girls also moved closer and hugged Marie one by one. Each hug warmed Marie's heart. 'This is my family' Eventually, her tears were replaced by a beautiful smile.

Amidst their heartwarming moment, they suddenly heard rushed footsteps. A man emerged from the staircase. It was Larry. He looked at everyone with an excited and a happy expression, "A member Protection Squad that Hallmaster Azelmek assigned to Sir Dylan came back! According to him, they were able to follow sir Dylan and Rian to Dreamy Forest!"

"Really?!" Everyone was elated to hear such great news!

...

A few minutes earlier....

The member of the Ford Protection Squad naturally informed Azelmek first about what happenned. Despite being at the Origin Foundation realm, their spiritual awareness can't communicate more than 5 kilometers. That was why when they were able to ascertain Dylan's destination. Their squad decided to send him back in order to inform Azelmek.

They started to tail him the moment they saw Dylan jump off the window. 'Amazing!', They inwardly praised Dylan for the astounding speed he displayed when he used Zooming Thunder to follow Dylan. They evaluated that this speed of his was at the very least comparable to a 18th level Origin Transmutation Realm! They even thought that Dylan's forte was speed and that it already was his top speed.

That was why they were flabbergasted when they saw how fast Dylan and Rian went at full speed! They decided to go top speed once they saw this shocking display of speed! They actually exceeded their top speed by at least two hundred percent! This shocked all of them since there were 4 of them at the Peak 25th level Origin Foundation!

He naturally informed this to Azelmek as soon as he returned and to his surprise, Azelmek actually shouted, "What?! His body continuously flickered with streaks of lightning?! His top speed is at least at the Palace Formation Realm?!"

"Yes, Hallmaster." The messenger answered with awkwardness.

"Incredible!" Azelmek cried out in surprise. There was only one thing that he knew could pull off this amazing feat! 'He must have already grasped how to use the Zooming Thunder technique of the Cheetah Monarch! But it was only two weeks after he obtained the Thundercloud Monarch Art? Just how amazing is his comprehension to be able to quickly use it in such a small frame of time?! More importantly, how is his body able to support a Heaven Rank technique??!!'

How could Azelmek have imagined that Dylan was immediately able to use a technique of the Thundercloud Monarch Art several hours after acquiring it or the fact that Dylan had the never before seen Supreme Core?!

The true reason why Dylan was able to quickly comprehend how to use it was because of his self derivation technique of the Thundercloud Monarch Art, the Tyrranical Thunderbolt Clouds Art. Although his techniques were different from the original skills, he did not make any essential changes pertaining the structure of the skill.

Dylan may have changed the application and function of the techniques but there were no fundamental difference. This helped him quickly master the techniques of the inheritance of the four Thundercloud Kings.

With no way of doing this, Azelmek formulated his own theories about how Dylan was able to gain initial mastery of the technique and how his body was able to support the technique, 'He must have trained quite rigorously in order to attain Novice Mastery of the technique for the past two weeks. During which, he must have unknowingly entered a state of enlightenment. His body must have an innate mutation with him! Something which allows him to store large amounts of energy that exceeds the capacity of normal people!'

Continuing down this thought, Azelmek laughed heartily, 'If he is trained well, he might just be a talent capable of contending with the Mythical 10!' Immersed with his thoughts, he actually forgot that he was on call with his subordinate.

"Sir, are you stil there?" The question of the messenger of the Ford Protection Squad jolted Azelmek awake from his thoughts.

"Ah, yes. You have done well reporting this to me. I will award you and your teammates a handsome reward. You must prioritize Dylan's safety! " Azelmek was in a great mood after learning this good news.

"I cannot express my gratitude in words, Hallmaster!" The emissary was overjoyed when he heard about the handsome reward. Their salary was already handsome enough for them. Who would have thought that they would actually have a bonus just like that?

"Let him suffer a bit. This will serve as his experience and refine him even more. But if you deem, that the situation has already went out of hand, you must save him at all cost! Are we clear?" Azelmek strictly instructed.

"Crystal clear, Hallmaster!" The messenger replied immediately.

"Ah, that's right. Kindly inform one of Dylan's employees of his status. I know that he does not want them to worry about him as he considers them his family." Azelmek suddenly thought of how Dylan would always remember to communicate with his employees through his Spiritual Transmission Tablet and check on them.

"Yes, Hallmaster." The messenger nodded as Azelmek ended the call. Quickly, he made his way to the Soaring Garden Enterprise and do what Azelmek told him to do.

...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the middle of the Dreamy Forest...

"Damn it!" Rian gritted his teeth while blood flowed from his mouth. His whole body was aching from the attack that he just dealt with. He had several wounds on his body that came from the slashes of the demon warriors.

When he was just going to stand up earlier, the third demon warrior actually shot another barrage of slashes at him. Rian tried to dodge the attacks of the third demon warrior but he could not because the other two demon warriors has already blocked his exits by embeding their swords deep to the ground to create a semicircle around him.

After being hit twice by the slashes of the third demon warrior he tried to jump over the swords after succesfully evading the other two slahes. But when he reached the top of the swords, he was bashed back down by the hands of the demon warriors!

Fortunately, he was able to burrow the ground after he crashed on the ground and created a small crater. He was able to temporarily escape the grasp of the demon warriors.

He hated retreating because he had an innate arrogance written on his bones that enabled him to look down upon all creatures but there was nothing he can do right now. He knew beforehand that he cannot fight all three demon warriors at the same time.

Although the attack power of the demon warriors were at the pinnacle of the Palace Formation Ream, its defense actually could compare to the defense of a 37th level Palace Establishment Realm. While, Rian only had the strength equal to a 36th level Palace Establishment Realm as of now.

"If only I had just one more week..." It was precisely as he said if only he had just one more week to accumulate strength he could have at least reached the 40th level! Then, he could easily crush his opponents with a single swat!

Hiding on a tree Rian cursed as he closely monitored the movements of the three demon warriors which were still vigilant of his surprise attacks.

"Fuck! The little demon actually escaped from our grasp!" A brown haired one-eyed sect leader cursed out loud.

"Don't worry, brother. He must have not gone far. I'm certain he is still within the forest because of his friend. But he would likely not appear any time soon due to the injuries that he sustained." The scholarly sect leader analyzed the situation.

"Indeed. But we should not let him escape. Letting him escape is the same as our plans being foiled. Not to mention, how terrifyingly fast and powerful that little demon is! He could take any of us one on one." Angus warned his colleagues.

His words caused all of them to shudder because they all personally witnessed how intrepid Rian was.

"But we can still kill him as long as we use the demon warrior! We are invincible as long as we are together!" Another sect leader rebutted.

"Invincible? That only applies if we could maintain it indefinitely but sadly we can't. Our demon warriors generally only have 4 arms now . Each arm is vital for a demon warrior. Taking three arms could dispel the entire formation! It is the same as killing one of the controllers of the formation. Remember we need 6 people to maintain the formation!" One of the formation masters explained.

"..." The sect leader who just spoke could only shut his kouth after hearing that.

"Yes, that is why I suggest. We force the little demon out by killing Dylan Ford!" Angus coldly uttered.
