Chapter 47: Breaking Image, Vicious Belek

“But brother Dyson, you know that I am not a brave and cunning person. I’m just a wealthy man who’s afraid of death. If there’s a traitor beside me who wants to kill me at any moment, I really won’t be able to sleep or eat well. Look, I’ve lost so much weight because of this matter!”

“Therefore, I’m not a smart person. I can only use the stupidest method to solve the problem. I’ll get my trusted subordinates to capture all the people I suspect and eliminate them. This way, the traitor will naturally not be able to escape.”

Belek smiled.

Looking at Belek who was speaking with a terrifying expression, Mas was shocked.

At the thought of this, Mas looked deeply at Belek.

He originally thought that the other party was a cunning, unscrupulous, and bold person.

Now, he had to label the other party as ruthless.

In order to deal with the traitors around him, he had to get rid of all the suspects.

On this point, Belek was really ruthless.

However, on second thought, this was normal.

If Belek had not been ruthless, his assets would have probably been taken away in this battlefield-like business world.

“Brother Dyson, I wonder what made you come over?” Belek changed the subject and invited Mas to sit in the hall.

In the hall, Mas sat on a chair and looked at Belek with a smile. “I’m here on Master Mas’s orders to purchase a batch of alchemy materials from President Belek!”

“Didn’t Master Mas tell you before that he needs a large amount of alchemy materials, be it low-grade or high-grade alchemy materials?”

“In addition, I also brought 30 pieces of Master Mas’s newly refined Emerald Green Robes!”

Mas took out the 30 Emerald Green Robes from the alchemy space and smiled.

Looking at the Emerald Green Robes, Belek suddenly sighed.

“Brother Dyson, there’s something I don’t know if I should say!” Belek was a little hesitant.

“President Belek, you’re welcome. You’re Master Mas’s partner. What can’t you say?” Mas smiled.

“Brother Dyson, to be honest, an alchemist from the Alchemist Guild has also refined a batch of Emerald Green Robes and sold them for 100,000 gold coins per piece. The 29 Emerald Green Robes I have haven’t been sold yet!” Belek said helplessly.

“Alchemist Guild?” Mas frowned when he heard Belek.

In order to exchange for the formula for the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir, he had donated the Emerald Green Robe alchemy formula to the Alchemist Guild.

The alchemy master that Belek mentioned was either an internal member of the Alchemist Guild or an alchemy master who had bought the Emerald Green Robe formula.

Nevertheless, this was a problem, it meant that Emerald Green Robe was not easy to sell.

Seeing the worried look on Belek’s face, Mas knew that Belek must have had a really bad time recently.

Mas’s right index finger tapped the armrest as he wondered if he should sell the Red Crystal Gargoyle.

After all, the Emerald Green Robe was no longer valuable.

On the other hand, selling the Red Crystal Gargoyle would earn him a large amount of gold coins, and the ownership of the Red Crystal Gargoyle would be his. He would only give it to others for the time being. As long as there was a need, the Red Crystal Gargoyle could be summoned back.

However, selling the Red Crystal Gargoyle would also be troublesome as it might break the balance.

Why was it safe in the Storm Empire?

Because the royal family was the strongest.

Even though there were some great nobles who were slightly weaker than the royal family, they did not dare to openly go against the royal family.

However, if Mas sold the Red Crystal Gargoyles wantonly, some ambitious aristocrats would definitely choose to openly resist the royal family after buying a large number of Red Crystal Gargoyles. When that time came, the Storm Empire would start a civil war.

And at that time, the royal family of the Storm Empire would definitely see him as a thorn in their side.

With Mas’ current foundation, he could not openly go against a national power.

Therefore, Mas temporarily gave up the idea of turning against the Storm Empire. After all, there were only the Storm Empire and the Trun Kingdom near the Dark Forest.

He was currently enemies with the Mayan Kingdom. If he fell out with the Storm Empire again, not to mention alchemy materials, he would not be able to buy food in the future.

“My head hurts!” Mas rubbed his brows.

He suddenly realized that he had nothing to sell at all.

“Brother Dyson, I’ll buy these 30 Emerald Green Robes for 100,000 gold coins per piece!”

“But I have a request!” Belek looked at Mas and said nothing.

“What request?” Mas asked.

Belek smiled in embarrassment. After he got up and closed the door of the hall, he walked to Mas’s ear and said softly, “Brother Dyson, you should know that I have some relationship with the royal family!”

“Just yesterday, the royal family found me and asked me if I could get 10,000 alchemical soldiers. The price he offered was 600 gold coins per soldier. Brother Dyson, can you go back and tell Master Mas to take on this business?”

“Although the profit of this order is very low, I guarantee that I will give Master Mas something that will satisfy him.”

Upon hearing this, Mas looked at Belek in surprise and said, “10,000 alchemical soldiers?”

“Brother Dyson, I wanted to visit Master Mas personally to discuss this matter, but I didn’t expect you to come!”

“Brother Dyson, let me tell you the truth. This matter is really important to me. If I can get 10,000 alchemy soldiers for the royal family, I will be recognized by the royal family!”

“To me, this is really a chance to rise rapidly!” Belek looked at Mas and said in a almost pleading tone.

In Belek’s heart, as an alchemy master, Mas would definitely not accept such an order.

After all, the first alchemical creature that Master Mas had refined was a powerful glorious Gargoyle. How could he accept an order to refine an alchemical soldier? This was completely degrading.

However, in Belek’s eyes, when Master Mas heard this, his heart was beating wildly.

10,000 alchemical soldiers!

Although alchemical soldiers were only Level 1, once they were successfully refined, they could obtain some EXP.

10,000 alchemical soldiers, wouldn’t that mean 10,000 EXP? Then, wouldn’t his Creator’s Alchemy Platform be able to be upgraded?

Thinking that he could obtain so much EXP, Mas was overjoyed. His heart beat wildly but he still had to show a troubled expression on his face.

This was the time to test his acting skills as Mas wanted to maintain his mysterious image as a great alchemist.

The first-time alchemical creatures were all Red Crystal Gargoyles. How could a top alchemy master like him take the job of refining 10,000 alchemical soldiers?

However, he could not accept the job as Master Mas, but he could use his identity as Dyson to accept the job!

Mas looked at Belek and shook his head. He said regretfully, “President Belek, I’m really sorry!”

“With my understanding of Master Mas, he will definitely not accept such an order!”

After that, Mas paused for a moment and continued, “If you trust me, President Belek, I can refine 10,000 alchemy soldiers!”

Upon hearing this, Belek was stunned for a moment before a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face.
