The Strongest Businessman-62 Chapter 62: Dylan's Plan 3
Azelmek was so shocked when he saw the bright x-shaped pupils of the elder because those were the legendary Heavenly Eyes?
Legend has it only those who have talents that far surpassed the Supreme Grade or S-Grade Magnate are gifted with such ability.
There are only four grades known to be achieved in the whole Mystical Clouds Country. These are the Conqueror Grade (C-grade), Autocrat Grade (A-grade), Supreme Grade (S-Grade) and Superior Supreme (SS-Grade). The C-grade Magna Magnates are twice as superior than normal Mystical Magnate easily conquering them. The A-grade have all fundamental abilities of a fourth tier Mystical Magnate has. These two grades focus more on leaping levels and crushing foes of higher cultivation realm.
But the latter two are different, they don't increase the strength of a Magnate Magnate but instead paves way to make their journey to the Mystical Duke or Mystical Lord to be smoother than average Magnates. When a Magna has an S-Grade talent, it means that his Magnate Strength is more purer and more abundant than an A-Grade Magna which makes the materialization of a Magnate Soul to be a lot more easier.
For an SS-grade Magna, he/she is given the legendary Heavenly Eyes. These are eyes that allows a person to view everything twice as slow in reality when it is activated. It also enables the person to see energy of humans, beasts and animals. It is said that if these legendary eyes are trained properly to a certain extent, the Magnate will be able to influence his or her surroundings and make it obey his every will and command.
Indirectly, it allows the body of its owner to heighten all 5 of his/her senses. Acquiring the Heavenly Eyes will grant easier evolution of the Soul Lord from the Magnate and the easier usage of Soul Fusion due to its user being able to view energy in its most fundamental state that it makes evolution and fusion to be easier because of the easier manipulation of energy.
But these eyes' abilities are limited without proper guidance and right training. Though even without proper training and guidance, the user's five senses is significantly enhanced and is still able to see things 50% slower than normal people could.
That's the ability that many people wish to have but couldn't attain, the Heavenly Eyes!
Azelmek was so shocked by this client's strength because as soon as he opened his eyes the spirit energy around them distorted. This meant that this man has already mastered the Heavenly Eyes!
But what really bothered him was that he sensed this client's energy was too vibrant and too alive for an expert with such strength. Normally, when a person gets older, his energy also matures with him but this wasn't the case for this elder because his energy was overflowing with wildness and dominance, something that youths would commonly have.
Although this elder was keeping his energy at bay , a Mystical Lord like Azelmek was able to tell these details because of his experience and knowledge that he gained through battles and business transactions.
"Sheldon, are you sure this man is an elder?" Azelmek telepathized using Spiritual Transmission.
"Why do you ask, Hallmaster?" Sheldon replied via Spiritual Transmission as well.
"Because you may not have noticed but this man's energy is too wild and overbearing which youths commonly have. Also, if he were a true expert, then there would be no need for hiding his face except if he is an enemy of the state and if he was truly powerful, then there would be no need for him to hide in a cultivation of 10th level Spirit Veins Realm. Why couldn't it be any higher so he could earn more desirable respect that a true powerful expert deserve?" Azelmek shared his insights with the client that Sheldon just made.
This caused a great shock to Sheldon, he never really expected what the Hallmaster's perspective was but he knew that Azelmek would always base his opinion on logic and reason. It made him doubt the identity he acknowledged this man with. Azelmek's opinions really caused his beliefs to sway.
Suddenly, Dylan stood up and calmly said, "Since you are secretly talking about me in front of me, it appears that the Hallmaster does not want my presence in his Premier Hall. Thus, I shall now take my leave and sir Sheldon, if you're wondering what to do about the herb, I'll just give it to you as a gift. It would be too shameless of me to get the herb back from you after you went all the trouble of setting it up as the surprise item for this auction. Just treat as me giving a gift to the Premier Hall. Farewell."
That sudden ice breaker brought disbelief to the eyes of Sheldon and Azelmek because wasn't he just pretending to be an elder with great power? Did he tap on their communication without them knowing? But that could only be done by someone stronger than them.
'How did he know...' The same thought passed through their minds as they looked at Dylan in bafflement
This especially shocked Azelmek because he was the one who was accusing Dylan to be something similar to a con artist. From what this man said, it seemed like he knew what he transmitted to Sheldon. What was even more terrifying was that he did it without him knowing! This meant that this man was vastly stronger than him.
How did Dylan know about setting his herb as the surprise auction item for tonight? Sheldon was sure he did not tell anyone to inform Dylan yet and he knew that only those of the higher ranks would only know of this matter. Although this man told him to auction it, he did not specifically state that it must be done on today's auction. Sheldon also remembered every word he said and was sure that he did not say that he would do it right away . So how did he know?
Azelmek and Sheldon racked their brains but they couldn't find a reason why.
Dylan merely smiled under the cover of that hood as he saw the shocked expressions on both men's faces. This was the reaction that Dylan was aiming for.
"All according to plan." Dylan smirked as he turned around and left as he continues to exude the cold haughtiness of his disguise.
Dylan did not really want to act arrogantly and make the Hallmaster of the Premier Hall to personally approach him because he never liked anyone who was too overbearing. This is because he knew all too well that being too overbearing makes a person think that he is more superior than the rest and look down on everyone by treating them like insects.
But, Dylan had no choice but to do so because it was part of the persona he was using right now. He knew that the strong views the weak as insects as he has read. So, he spoke in this manner from the beginning until now that he was facing the shocked expressions of these two.
But, the truth of the matter was that Dylan did not tap the Spiritual Transmission or even heard what Azelmek transmitted to Sheldon!
Dylan just knew what attitude a strict businessman like Azelmek would have because of his rich experience of encountering and interacting as well as dealing with countless famous businessmen and celebrities. Due to this, he is able to make quick yet accurate judgements about a person's personality.
Dylan knew that Azelmek was telling Sheldon something that he found amiss from Dylan's disguise because he knew knew that someone as strict and uptight as Azelmek would be critical and meticulous down to every detail. He was also very sure that it was something pertaining about his lack of strength as a cultivator because it was one of the most apparent flaw in his disguise. So, he decided to play mind games on Azelmek by insinuating that he would leave because of Azelmek's unwelcoming behavior towards him.
Dylan knew this would cause a great disruption on their line of thoughts which would eventually lead to doubt and believe him or to be more precise the elder he was disguised as.
The reason why Dylan was able to find out about Sheldon's arrangements for the Solarburst Chrysanthemum was because he heard the gossips that the employees from the higher floor were talking about while he was waiting for Sheldon's reply about the date of the auction.
He estimated it to be somewhere in the range for the next three days but Sheldon made it easier for Dylan to sell his goods. But his true purpose was to gain the backing of the Premier Hall!
Now, his plan has reached its checkpoint. Because this was the point where he would surely gain the backing of the Hall and it was made it into reality the moment he heard, Sheldon and Azelmek call him.
"Sir, wait!" Azelmek tried to halt Dylan because he was afraid of the possibility of letting a potential huge investor of their Premier Hall!
"Elder, please, wait!" Sheldon did the same as well as he dragged his fat body and approached Dylan.
'First Checkpoint, cleared!' Dylan thought to himself proudly.
