The Strongest Businessman

After finishing his business in the Premier Hall, Dylan went straight to the Soaring Garden Herbal Store. By the time, Dylan exited the Premier Hall, it was already late at night.

After confirming that he was in a distance that was far away from the Premier Hall, Dylan went to an alley and took off his disguise which he then placed on his storage ring. Dylan straightened his body and his aura went back to its former state. When Dylan passed through the alley, he was able to submerge within the crowd without causing too much attention. At least that was what he thought.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment he came out of the alley, countless girls, be they young or old, was shocked at his sudden appearance that seemed like the entrance of a prince and could only pause to intently stare at his handsomeness. Recovering from the shock, they continued walking while occasionally trying to get a glimpse of him.

Although Dylan sensed these gazes, he thought that they were merely gazes of shock and curiousity so he treated it as nothing as he continued walking.

Dylan was walking in the street where his Soaring Garden Herbal Store was. He was only about 2 kilometer away when he saw twenty odd people in front of the store. Instantly using his Heavenly Eyes, he saw his 16 employees of the first shift, with Jack and Allana standing in front, was arguing with the man who was in front. The group of people was clearly trying to cause trouble to them.

" Who are those people? Are they customers? It seems like they are arguing. What are they arguing about?" Though Dylan mumbled these words, he did not feel alarmed and did not hasten his steps because he thought that having this kinds of conflicts will also enhance his employees' ability to solve problems and interact with different types of customers.

Even though that was the case, he still kept a close eye on what was happening outside of the store. He also did not want to rush over just because of a certain conflict and because he also had other reasons for doing so.

One, he did not want to rush over because it would be making a big mess out of a small conflict. Two, because rushing over would cause a scene and he might have to bump into someone or trip someone in the crowd by rushing over because he was moving against the flow of the leaving crowd who just finished shopping.

Three, rushing over might give his employees the dependent mentality in which they would always depend for him to solve every problem at hand. And, he did not want that to occur since he is trying to mold the best employees that his employees could be. That is why they would need to be independent and competent enough to deal with every situation that may occur.

Dylan wants them to grow and to be able to rise to the challenge as they spread their wings to bring his, rather, their business to the apex of the business in the Mystical Clouds Country and even the whole world. So, he only continued to watch the argument between his employees and the "customers" while calmly walking towards Lighting Buolevard.

.....

Lightning Boulevard is the 10 kilometers squared commercial area of the Thunder Clouds City. Usually, people would come in abundance at late morning around 9-10 a.m and similarly leave in unison by late night 9-10 p.m. In this time of day, the amount of customers are significantly reduced to 5% of its original number.

Outside the Soaring Garden Herbal Store, there were no customers left and only two groups of people could be seen arguing.

From their clothes and the crest on their chests, the group of twenty were all nobles of the sixth rank. There were 12 men and 8 women. The men wore Noble robes while the women wore extravagant dresses, clearly to show off their status to other people. They all had furious and condescending gazes to Jack and the others. They were blaming them for the lack of customers that went to their area during the day and the absence of customers at night.

"I told you all to leave! What Soaring Garden Herbal Store? Bah, it's nothing but trash." A noble kicked one of the signs in front of the store entrance. The sign was destroyed by the force that the kick contained. Clearly, the male noble in front was provoking them.

"Are you retarded? We bought this slot fair and square? Who are you to make us leave?!" Jack shouted in anger.

"Heh, your second-rate store is ruining the face of our stores! As store owners, we must maintain a good image in our area but your store is ruining the prestige of the third street of the Lighting Boulevard! Our shopping area's consumers have drop because of your unsightly store!" A female noble berated them and the Soaring Garden Herbal Store.

"What kind of twisted reasoning is that? You're clearly just making up reasons to evict us from this shopping area!" An employee named Peter spoke in defense as he raised his voice.

"Hahaha, so what if we are? What are you going to do about it? We're nobles and you're just plebeians. We're strong and you guys are weak! Oh, what are these signs? Hahah what garbage!!" Another male store owner continuously berated them as he destroyed all the signs in outside the store by similarly kicking all of them like the first speaker.

But what he said was true. In terms of strength, they wouldn't be able to hold a candle in front of their strengths of Awakened Spirit Realm! In terms of numbers, they were also lacking four members. In terms of status, they were still plebeians because Dylan has still yet to take the test now while they were nobles which were formal citizens in this city.

"Bastards​! Christine and I spent all day doing those!" Allana could not hold it any longer as she shouted. Christine was a timid and shy girl but could always deliver what was expected from her sometimes it was even greater than what was asked of her.

"A-allana. Y-you don't have to g-get mad. We can always r-redo it." Christine was trembling as she spoke. The eyes of the noble were then focused to Christine the moment she spoke. She was not really comfortable with the concept of being the center of attention. She could only hid herself from the gazes of these people.

"I never expect to see such fine ladies in this sorry establishment. Hahaha, how about ditching this waste of a store and come with me? Why not apply in my store? You surely would not just be a saleslady. Even better, my concubine! Plus, you will Hahaha. This store surely won't flourish due to herb-selling not being an ideal business for large profits and income within the city. Hahaha." Another noble with a lewd expression laughed loudly. His obscene gaze could not be hidden as he wet his lips as he looked at the bodies of Allana and the other girls.

"Tsk, despicable!"

"Pervert!"

"Shameless bastard!"

The female employees outside the store could not help but curse when faced with such arrogance and lewdness. They felt chills just from the stares of this profane man as he scanned their bodies from head to toe.

"Hahaha, excuse my brother for being too vulgar, if you come with me instead, I will make your lives beter than your current owner. Making beauties work in this type of second-rate business, he must truly be a useless man. If you follow me on the other hand, I will not treat you as poorly as this. You will also be able to accompany an overly handsome young lord such as myself." Another good-looking black-haired noble who was narcissistic spoke proudly with a wide smile.

"Hmph, I bet your boss is not as handsome as our big bro Ritz. Bleh!" A female noble, that was enclosed in one of the narcissistic male nobles arms, showed her tongue and made a childish gesture.

"Hahahaha, that is true." Laughing out loud, 'Big bro Ritz' nodded approvingly.

"You.. You're not even as half, no, not even a tenth as handsome as our sir Dylan!" A female named Alisha screamed in anger. She was one of those females who had deep feelings for Dylan. She could not imagine a man who would be as handsome and as kind as Dylan. Thus, she could not help but feel furious when the narcissistic Ritz claimed that he was more handsome than Dylan.

"You bitch! How dare you say that in front of my hand some face!" Ritz felt absolutely furious when he heard those words. He was very prideful when it came to his appearance because he was always chased and sought for by countless girls. He would love to compare himself with other men and look down on them for their ugliness but never the other way around.

"Hahaha, you dumb girl. Now you've done it. Big bro Ritz is thoroughly angered now. Hahahahaha. Big bro Ritz, don't kill her. I want to bed her tonight. Hahaha!" The lewd store owner said. He knew that Ritz despised being compared in appearance and being called ugly in comparison.

"Fine. But I'll have to slap her ten times in the face for insulting my handsome face." Despite being extremely angry, he never failed to maintain his narcissistic nature.

"You, petty narcissistic spoiled bastard, becoming angry just because of being ugly in comparison to our boss! What a petty man, you are!" Allana also could not contain his rage as she relentlessly insulted Ritz which momentarily stunned him. She felt that she already held herself back too much. Now that she exploded, she did not care what happened next. She threw a slap to his face which dumbfounded everyone. The men could only sigh as they thought , 'Women are really scary creatures.'

However, it was stopped by Ritz which was accompanied by the twisting of his face. He was extremely enranged now because of the repeated insults of Allana and her attempt to slap him. He never met a woman who was this insolent in front of him.

"Hahahaha, idiotic woman! You just made things worst! You clearly dug your own grave!" A woman wearing revealing clothes laughed and mocked Allana.

"I will kill you! No, that would be letting you off easy. I'll kill you by raping you and robbing you of your yin essence!" Ritz cruelly whispered as he tightened his grip on her slender arms. His cultivation of 13th level of Awakened Spirit Realm burst forth.

"Argh, y-you devil! Let go of me, you perverted devil!" Allana was pale white as she protested

"Tsk, I'll have to slap you 20 times to shut off your fucking mouth which continuously sullied my face!" Ritz raised his hands and poured his entire strength to slap Allana. He did not show mercy even to a woman.

"Stop, you bastard!"

"Nooo!

"Allana!"

"Don't hurt, Allana!"

The employees shouted in Allana's defense. Being unable to break free from the hands of Ritz, Allana, then, closed her eyes tightly as she braced herself for the moment of impact the corresponding pain.

"Sir, I advise you to refrain from hurting my employee or else, the consequences will be dire." A figure suddenly appeared and easily stopped Ritz's hand from slapping Allana while maintaining his usual faint smile in his face. Who else could this be, other than Dylan Ford.
