The Strongest Businessman

Ritz was shocked that​ a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and defended an attack which contained his entire strength! What's more the man who stopped it was someone only at the Pinnacle of the Spirit Veins Realm.

Allana, who was preparing for the occurrence of the slap, however, it did not happen and instead, she heard a very familiar voice that the moment she opened her eyes, the person she had in mind after hearing the voice was the same as the one she saw right before her eyes.

""S-sir Dylan..." Allana got misty eyed as she softly called out Dylan's​ name.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with this noble's affairs!" Ritz angrily barked.

" My name is Dylan Ford, the owner of the second-rate store you were referring to .Lower your voice. I'm not deaf. Also, kindly remove your hands from my employee, please. It is essentially inappropriate and could be considered as harassment." Dylan calmly answered. Though his words were courteous, his tone was calm and indifferent as though he was talking with someone without any nobility whatsoever.

"Youu!" Ritz pointed at him while glaring at him with killing intent.

"Can you kindly refrain from pointing figures at someone? It is an extremely disrespectful to do so. If someone did not know any better, they might start thinking​ that you're an uncultured swine. Do you not think so?" Dylan maintained his calm expression which held his trademark faint smile.

"Argh!!" Ritz could only lower his hands.

"Now, that's a good noble. Unfortunately, sir Ritz and his company has already destroyed the properties of my Soaring Garden Herbal Store, harmed my employees, insulted my humble self and falsely accused us of matters that we did not have any relation with. Truthfully​, I have never seen anyone be this nefarious and evil. I wonder what would the Thundercloud Guards will say when they heard of such matters?" Dylan calmly asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, do you really think that they would learn of this matter? I will silence you all before that happens and the very least that will happen to us is compensate the damage we have done. But if they do, so what? My Panther Family is one of the Top 5 families in the whole Thunder Cloud City! What could they do to touch me?! Hahahaha, nothing!" Ritz merely laughed​ as he tightly held both arms of Allana in one of his arms.

"Oh is that so? Then, does that mean you don't take the Thundercloud Guards to your eyes and consider them as a strict and uptight organization of justice?" Dylan inquired once more as his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Allana's pained expression.

"Hahaha, what strict and upright organization of justice? Hahaha in the face of the might of my family, they are nothing!! Hahahahaha!" Ritz laughed hysterically once more.

"Then, you, all have truly broadened my horizons. I never thought that there would be someone who is as conceited and evil as you all are! First, blaming my employees for the lack of employees that you had today? Then, why don't you take a look at yourselves first?! If your presentation of goods and customer service were better, then your sales and number of customers would be maintained and would have even soared! But, instead of doing this, your manner of management in your business is substandard as you try to buy luxurious materials yet completely forgot improving presentation and service! This would only imply one thing and that is you all don't have enough foresight to consider these things!! " Dylan righteously defended.

"Next, you harm and insult other people for insulting you yet you insult other people without a sense of self-restraint? How absurd can you be?! You are merely labelling us below you because of your conceited and narcissistic nature! That is another reason why your daily consumers have dropped! Just from your attitude alone, I can say that you act high and mighty even when facing your own customers! This creates a dissociated​ atmosphere between you and your customers as your self-centeredness makes your customers feel very uncomfortable and even have a negative view of you! In business, there must be mutual respect between parties because through respect you are able to form a bond and this bind will make your customers come back to your establishment!"

"I'm very certain that this not only applies to you but to all of you to some extent. Thus, don't blame others for your lack of skill because people of this kind are incomparably detestable!" Dylan ended his defense with a sneer as he could not contain his self any longer in front of this arrogant lot of nobles.

Ritz was momentarily rendered speechless when he heard those things.

...

This incident even shocked the crowd. The group of store owners were shocked by the fact that a 10th level Spirit Veins Realm practitioner was able to block Ritz who was at the 13th level Awakened Spirit Realm. But there was another fact which shocked the 8 ladies of this group was that this man was outstandingly handsome. The scene that happened before them was like a scene from a fairy tale stories they read when they were kids; a prince saving a damsel in distress.

"Who is he?"

"He said that girl is his employee, so does that mean.."

".. He's the boss they were talking about..?"

When they heard Dylan's statements, they were all angry at first but after being backed up with persuasive arguments, they started doubting themselves in a second.

"Were we really that arrogant and concurred?"

...

On the other hand, Dylan's employees were only momentarily shocked but it was then replaced by joy and excitement as they saw Dylan who was currently confronting the incomparably narcissistic Ritz.

"Sir Dylan is here!" The employees rejoiced the moment they saw Dylan.

...

"Stop, with your nonsense! Or else, I will kill this girl!!" Ritz roared violently!

"Urrr, let me go!" Allana suddenly realized that she was being held more tightly by each passing second. Although her hands may be held by Ritz's hand, she immediately used her feet and swung her right foot at full force and aimed at Ritz groin. Her actions caused everyone's jaw to nearly drop to the ground!

"What the fuck! Ugggggghhhh! @#$_!" Ritz felt an indescribable pain as he was forced to kneel down from the overwhelming pain that came from his third leg. He was trembling as he experienced a seizure and foam even started to bubble outside his mouth. Clearly, the violent force of a 9th level Spirit Veins Realm expert who aimed directly at the groin was devastating. But the true horror of the matter was that this showed the horrifying side of women. One kick could make any men tremble to their knees as even a 13th level of Awakened Spirit Realm was similarly powerless against Allana's 'deadly attack'.

Even Dylan felt chills from seeing that scene happen. He subconsciously covered his groin with his hands and could not help but momentarily shiver from the pain he imagined Ritz was going through right now. He spoke in his thoughts, 'I should never anger a woman. They truly are terrifying creatures.'

It was not only him but the male employees had similar thoughts when they saw Allana kicking Ritz's genitals. Even the male store owners subconsciously took a step back from fright. They even looked at the shocked women by their sides and moved a step away from them.

"You bitch! How dare you hurt big bro Ritz!" The girl which Ritz held in his arm rushed to him and gave him medicinal pill. The medicine was apparently a high class recovery pill. It abruptly caused Ritz's countenance to redden and recover it's colors.

Ritz stopped having a seizure and weakly brushed off the foam from the side of his face but the pain on the middle of his legs was stinging. His desire to kill Allana and Dylan soared even more as his eyes turned increasingly bloodshot!

"I will have you all killed right away! Uncle Bardon, kill these two for me!!!" Ritz raored so loud as he summoned the presence of his 'Uncle Bardon'.

"Yes, young master." A shadow leaped from a distance and immediately attacked Dylan and Allana. The old man with a black short beard wore a conventional butler's clothes: a black vest paired with white long sleeves and dark blue slacks. His hair was a combination of black and white hairs. He used a sword to attack Dylan and launched a horizontal slash in an attempt to instantly kill Dylan and Allana.

Dylan materialized his Shield of Dusk which was already restored and was without any type of damage due to the nourishing immortal energy of the Cosmic God Mansion. He was able to block the attack after receiving 30% of the attack. His eyes narrowed as he did his best against the attacks of this 1st level Origin Transmutation Realm expert.

"The rest of you. Pin the rest of them down to the ground!" Ritz commanded the other 18 nobles to suppress the other 15 employees. All of them were 12th or 11th level of Awakened Spirit Realm so it would be an easy task for them to surpress a group of 9th level Spirit Veins Realm practitioners.

"Uh... Are you sure? What if we get in trouble?" The first noble to destroy a sign outside hesitatingly said. This was what the other nobles feared as well.

"What the hell are you hesitating for?! Our families are big shots in the city especially my Panther Family! So, stop fooling around and do as I say!" Ritz reprimanded his peers as the girl beside him served as his cushion.

"O-okay." The nobles could only obey his command because his family is the most powerful family out of the 20 of them. They faced the employees to start pinning them down one by one as they launched mid-range attacks.

But, they were shocked to see that the 15 employees, no they were 16 of them now, were already in front of them and directly attacked them in that moment of shock. The attacks of the nobkes deviated from their original trajectory due to the sudden attack of the opposing side. Some hit the store and some hit the road.

"What?!" The nobles were shocked as they received the attack.

"Take this, you arrogant nobles!" Tom and Jack said in unison as he led the employees and attacked in unison. It is true that they are 2-3 levels weaker compared to the nobles but their ability to coordinate and to act unitedly vastly surpasses the latter. They grouped themselves into four groups of four and attacked.

Having trained for nearly two months together, they were able to get to know each other better from their personality down to their habits. Because of this, they were able to coordinate more better with each other compared to the past and be able to fully bring out the true strength of teamwork. Driven by the desire to become stronger in order to repay Dylan's kindness, they thought of ways on how to agglomerate a strength that will help Dylan when it came to battles as battles are inevitable in the world of cultivation.

One of the methods that they thought of was a joint attack comprised of four members that practiced the same Battle Techniques which they called Synchronized Battle Skill. After practicing for 8 hours every night for two weeks​, the employees were finally able to master this move after successfully executing the skill with the same amount of power, timing and trajectory.

The Synchronized Battle Skill quadruples the attack power and the size of the original Battle Technique! The downside of this skill is that it depletes one-third of the energy reserves of the users so it could only be used thrice in a battle.

Still, this type of skill amazed Dylan. He was shocked at his employees to be able to develop such a skill! This skill would enable them to fight 2 to 3 levels higher than them although they would only be able to use this skill for 3 times every battle. He praised them greatly for creating such a skill because he knew to be able to execute such a skill it requires the group to be one in both mind and heart to execute such a powerful skill.

"[Synchronized Battle Skill- Wind Wolf Blade]" The first group roared.

"[Synchronized Battle Skill- Scroching Salamander Breath]" The second group bellowed

"[Synchronized Battle Skill- Golden Carp Water Blast]" The third group shouted

" [Synchronized Battle Skill- Earth Boar Rock Spire]" The last group followed

Each group shouted their Synchronized Battle Skill!

The nobles were all knocked off balance and pushed back three meters away because there were unable to react in time and defend themselves.

"Another!" Jack rallied as his group prepared for another attack.

They were then pushed back once more by another Synchronized Battle Skill as they crashed few meters from where they stood earlier. They did not understand what just happened to them and was still trying to comprehend what happened but the employees did give them time to think as they made their moves against them once more.

The brain for the sudden surprise attack executed by the employees was Dylan. When Dylan saw that the nobles were hesitating to attack, he ordered Allana to retreat and inform everyone to launch a surprise attack while the nobles were still hesitating. Fortunately, they were able to successfully launch their attacks while evading the attacks of the nobles.

"How could these plebeians possess such power?!" The nobles were shocked as they tried their bests to defend.

"Impossible!"

Uncle Bardon was shocked when he saw that the nobles were at a disadvantage! The same goes for Ritz and the girl who was attending to his injuries. They could not understand how a group of travellers contain such a powerful skill.

"Looking away at the middle of the battle will lead to your downfall! Crescent Moon Slash!!"Dylan, on the other hand, smiled as he took advantage and threw a Crescent Moon Slash two consecutive times at Uncle Bardon with his Waning Moon Sword.

Uncle Bardon was still able to block the first attack but could only endure the second. He was still able to reduce the damage caused by the Crescent Moon Slash due to the superiority of his origin energy.

"You, damn brat!" Uncle Bardon cursed and he launched another series of attacks which was being forcefully endured by the Shield of Dusk as it burned more than half of the attacks of Uncle Bardon.

"Halt! Stop this fighting this instant!"

A loud voice interrupted the battle as a battalion of men arrived. They wore valiant armors and held fierce weapons. The crest on their chest plates signified and represented one thing: The Thundercloud Guards has come!
