The Strongest Businessman

On the backyard...

That night, Jack and the others trained for two more hours before finishing their training. They all thankfully bowed to Dennis and the other members of Ford Protection Squad, "Thank you for your guidance!"

Mary took a step forward afterwards and stated, "We are very sorry for the inconvenience we have caused. We made use of your precious time."

"It isn't a bid deal. We are doing this out of our gratitude for Young Master Dylan. We have not really wasted our time here since our mission is to monitor and guard the young master until his safety is guaranteed." Dennis waved his hands and said. "Besides, we have benefited from this training of yours as well. So, it is not an inconvenience."

"I'm glad to hear we were not bothering you in any way. Thank for answering our request, seniors." Scott also spoke up.

"Just continue to cultivate well. I believe you guys have potential to be true experts in the future. Well, since your training is finished, we shall now take our leave." Dennis bid his farewell and took off. The employees also waved their hands and said their goodbyes.

As soon as the Ford Protection Squad left, they all looked at the backyard despodently. The garden was in shambles, the ground had intersecting footprints, weapon scars, and small craters. The Jagger Wolves' houses were even damaged which caused the Jagger Wolves to look sad.

"We really got carried away, didn't we?" Jack wryly smiled as he looked around him. He took the initiative to get a rake and shovel and said, "I guess we need to start cleaning up right away. We still have to cultivate on Boss Barry's medicinal bath so we need to hurry."

"Let's go!" Everyone nodded as they each took different cleaning materials to clean the backyard and restore the damaged shelters of the Jagger Wolves. With their coordination and teamwork, the were able to get the task done in just thirty minutes.

...

In Dylan's Room, Dylan has been cultivating all this while. He trained his physique with his body strengthening method and practiced his foundational Spirit Techniques. Right now, he was sitting crosslegged and meditating on his Cosmic God Manual. Suddenly, a knocking sound was heard from his door.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"What is it, Barry?" Dylan opened his eyes and quickly identified the one behind the door through his aura. He stood up and walked towards the door to open it. He went to a table and prepared some tea.

Just as he said, Barry was indeed the one who knocked on his door. Barry entered the room and closed the door. He sat on the chair near the table and smiled, "You were just done cultivating, weren't you? Hahaha, you really are a cultivation madman."

Dylan rolled his eyes and comfortably crossed his arms. He did not beat around the bush and straightforwardly asked, "I know you did not come to my room just to joke around. What is it? If you're here to check on Rian, he is already sleeping. Apparently, going beyond his time limit was too much for his current body to endure. "

Barry seemed to anticipate Dylan saying those words. He unhurriedly explained his readon to find Dylan, "I heard your conversation with the kids earlier. It seems like they did not tell you about it yet. So, I will be the one to tell you instead..."

"Tell me what?" Dylan knitted his brows as he found Barry's behavior weird. At the same time, he placed a cup of tea in front of Barry for him to drink.

"Your employees are currently undergoing Bloodline Roots Awakening to increase the chances of having an Avatar of a higher grade than what they usually would have." Barry disclosed.

" Bloodline Roots Awakening?" Even with Dylan's current knowledge of this cultivation world, he was unfamilliar with the term that Barry just mentioned. He asserted another question, "What's that? It increases the chances of having a high grade Avatar?"

"It is normal you have not heard of it as this was created by my grandfather. My grandfather's research on herbs made him to discover that there is a possibilty of increasing the grade of a person's Avatar. This is through using the Vernon Bloodstone which is used to find roots or traces of heavenly bloodline in a human's body..." Barry was in the middle of speaking when he noticed Dylan's expression. He knew that with Dylan's intellect he would have caught on by now so he purposely stopped.

"So this Bloodline Roots Awakening... refines the bloodline with the trace of heavenly bloodline found using this Vernon Bloodstone into a complete heavenly bloodline?" Dylan's voice was peculiarly monotonous and low at this point.

"Indeed. The Vernon Bloodstone, a type of herbal treasure grandfather discovered, is able to detect traces of heavenly bloodlines within the human body no matter how faint. By creating a medicinal bath..." Before Barry could finish what he was saying, Dylan grabbed the collar of his shirt.

Dylan looked at him with hostile eyes, "Barry, I respect you as my brother but you should know that this method is dangerous! The pain of your bloodline being refined and replaced anew is excruciating! A small mishap might lead to death! How can you let the kids undergo such a dangerous method?"

"It was not up to me to decide. It was them who decided to continue with such a dangerous approach. I asked for confirmation yesterday and asked again today after telling them the specifics of this matter. But, they did not even hesitate upon hearing the danger and chose to continue. So, how could I reject them?" Barry elucidated his matter.

"Don't lie to me. You could have decided not to tell them and yet you did! How would they know about the Bloodline Roots Awakening if you had not told them!" Dylan was angered after confirming that Barring knowingky risked the life of his employees, his family.

"Dylan, you don't understand..." Barry tried to convince Dylan but Dylan countered hastily, "What don't I understand? I know them better than you! They are trying to get stronger because of they don't want to be weak anymore, to not be bullied again, to meet Scarlet.."

Barry also interjected and also grabbed Dylan's collar , "You will never understand their plight! Do you know what it feels to not be talented enough? No, because you have two heavenly bloodlines within you, a heaven-defying Magna Magnate, and top-tier business talent! Although you are met with great misfortune, you are also gifted! As long as you are given time, you are bound to be a peak level expert not only in the country but even the entire world!"

"But the kids... despite having their own misfortunes, their gifts are not as ample as yours! Even if you gave them time to grow, their mediocre origins will limit their growth! They will never have the chance to even chase you when that time comes! The main reason why they want to be stronger is to stand by your side no matter what! That's why they are willing to risk their lives! That's why you will never understand!" Barry let go of Dylan's collar as Dylan did the same.

"I... It never occurred to me that way." Dylan was taken aback and laid back on his chair with a dismal expression. Barry's words shook him as he was far too focused with his own personal reasons.

"I was too selfish... They were trying to catch up to me and I was inhibiting them. I am only limiting their growths if this continues. I was just too afraid of losing one of them again like Leila and Frank that I became too protective to them. I was wrong." Dylan slowly stated in realization.

"You finally admitted it. Yes, you wanted to protect but you should know the limits of that protection. You should let them roam freely and discover themselves while you protect them from behind. If you're risking your life to protect them, let them do the same and watch each other's back because that is what a true bond entails." Barry wisely said.

"You're really wise, Barry. Your appearrance makes me forget how old you actually are. Thank you for telling me their side. I will leave them to your care, brother." Dylan smiled gratefully from the bottom of his heart.

"Hahaha, leave them to me. There is no need for thanks since we are brothers after all. So, just make sure you and Rian guard me well when I take the tribulation three days from now." Barry smirked and locked Dylan's neck with his right arm.

"Definitely." Dylan answered confidently. After a split second of thought, he inquired about the status of his employees worriedly. "Barry, how are they? Are they doing fine? I mean, will they be alright?"

Barry explained, "As for now, yes. Because I was certain of the medicinal effects of the medicinal fluid, I only put 30 percent of the true solution to their baths today and for the first week to give their bodies time to adapt. I will increase it by 20% on the second and let them feel the 80% and 100% of the solution on the third and fourth week respectively. According to the records, this should be enough for them to adapt to the medicine for the entire month."

Seeing Dylan's anxious expression, Barry spoke with reassurance, "I also examined their bodies so I am pretty sure they can handle it. In case of emergency, I also prepared some pain relieving herbal fruits for them to consume when I prepared the baths on their rooms ealier. To avoid disturbing the neighbors with their screams, I had them ate fifty year old Silencing Peppers just like you did."

After hearing his words, Dylan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he questioned Barry once more, "After the treatment, what do you think would be the grades of their avatars?"

"When I interviewed them of their heritages' Avatar quality, it was mostly around 3 or 4. Because of that, I have 90% assurance that they will at least have a Grade 5 Avatar. If things go really well, then I am 60% certain that some would even get Grade 6 Avatars." Barry smiled with certainity in his eyes.

"To increase the level of an Avatar's quality, this method is really revolutionary! If this is disseminated in the future. The future of our country will be boundless!" Dylan genuinely appraised the significance of the Bloodline Roots Awakeing!

"Yeah, it was really hard for him to find people to test the method with so he did it with caution. After several years of trial, he was finally able to come up with this method but it was still useless to the clan because it could only be used on those with Grade 4 Avatars and lower. Sadly, the research was not completed due to my grandfather's death." Barry spoke with bitterness on his tone.

Dylan stood up and said, "Then, how about doing it in your grandfather's stead?"

"What? That's impossible! It took grandfather nearly 7 seven years to create this method. Not to mention, that grandfather nearly memorized very single herbal book in our library..." Barry shook his head as he immediately rejected the idea.

"Didn't you tell me that you had a spatial ring which stored your entire library and heritage? You just need to become strong enough to open it. Once you do, you can use it to learn about your grand father's research and absorb the knowledge of your clan's heritage! In fact, just this current research is valuable enough to be called a national treasure! I am sure that if you complete it, your grandfather willl be endlessly proud of you as the future clan head of the Vernon Clan!" Dylan convincingly encouraged.

"Continuing grandpa's research? I never thought of it that way! Doing that would let me leave his name for centuries to come! I'll do it!" Barry excitedly said. He looked at Dylan and said laughingly, "You really know how to persuade and motivate, you cunning tycoon. Hahaha!"
