Chapter 72 72: Recording Mirror
When the mirror was revealed, it was not only Ritz, Igor and the other also, appeared as though they saw ghosts which terrified them enough to make them lose all of their colors. They all knew that their doom was inevitable because the thing that Allen Kindleheart was holding was a Recording Mirror.
"Oh, no! What will happen to use now?"
"Whyy!?! Why did this happen."
" I don't want to go to jail!"
The nobles were screaming in their minds as they thought of the things that might happen to them during imprisonment.
A Recording Mirror was an artifact used to record in images and events by facing the back of the mirror to the desired picture or occurrence to record. The back of the mirror has a small round crystal which captures the images through the reflection of light and the usage of spirit energy of origin energy.
The Recording Mirror is an artifact that is widely used in the business industry because of the versatility of the mirror. It commonly costs around 50 spirit stones but despite of such a price it is still being widely used by different types of businesses and Cultivation sects.
The old butler, Uncle Bardon, could only shake his head as he knew that his young maste has already lost this fight. He could only sigh in the end as he waited for his young master's decision.
The employees on the other was oblivious about the origins and the functions of the Recording Mirror but seeing the reactions of the nobles' group, they knew that this was an invaluable treasure. They rejoiced because they knew that their boss Dylan did not let them down. He was able to turn the tables around even when the odds were against him.
"I knew it! Sir Dylan can do it!"
"Of course he can!"
"Sir Dylan is really amazing!!"
Their sir Dylan did not even lose composure even with the arrival of the Thundercloud Guards. Even when Ritz gained the sympathy and support of most of the guards, he still remained as calm as the sea. They were exceedingly proud of the feats that their boss was able to do and they knew that their decision of following him was one of the biggest fortunes that they took in their lives.
The guards knew what the appearance of a Recording Mirror meant and it was the fact that there was existing evidence regarding the truth of the matter. The captains concluded that their course of action will be reliant on what the mirror contained.

Seeing the mixed expressions on the crowd, Dylan smiled..The reason for the appearance of Auction Co-coordinator Allen Kindleheart and why he brought a Recording Mirror was all according to Dylan's plot on exposing the true colors of the nobles' which bullied his employees.
A few minutes earlier, Dylan was dashing and was trying to get through the crowd. He immediately used the Spiritual Transmission Tablet which could enable a Spirit Veins cultivator to communicate even without Spiritual Transmission ability. that he gained from Sheldon which had the contact of Sheldon and Azelmek. He told them that Sir Null which was also himself, gave him their contacts and told him to contact this two people at times of need and crisis.
After saying that Sir Noull trusted them to this matter without fail, they immediately followed Dylan's request and brought a Recording Mirror. He also asked the contact of Allen Kindleheart in order to monitor his status and whereabouts.
Dylan wanted to fully repay the "favor" that Ritz and his group did to his new store and his employees. When someone respects him, he respects them back tenfold. If someone if kind and friendly to him, he would be even more so to that person.
But when a person harms or even just attempt to harm him and his family, he will pay them back a hundredfold! That was what Dylan realized during his stay on this cultivation world that the strong and the ruthless will always be the one in the top. Softheartedness and pity has no room for those cultivators who aim to reach the apex!
As such, while he was trying to dash to Allana's rescue, he already constructed a plan on how to make Ritz and his friends pay dearly for the crimes they have committed.
As Allen Kindleheart was flying towards them, Dylan told him to record everything that happened the moment he arrived. The moment he arrived, he immediately heeded Dylan's request and recorded everything. He, too, experienced shock when he saw a young man block a person who was 3 levels higher than him so casually and how a small group of youngsters were able to perform Synchro Skill!
Originally, he thought that this kid, Dylan, was only lucky to be able to have fortunate encounter with Sir Null and save him. Only then was he able to gain Sir Null's favor. Now, he felt that there was more to this kid that meets the eye.
Not only was he shocked by his level-skipping prowess, he was also stunned about his repeated verbal strikes to Ritz's and the other nobles' prides regarding business. Although what he said was only logical but not every man would be able to meticulously say these things without proper education and knowledge. His eloquence and clarity in his speech have Allen the feeling that he was listening to an advice from a veteran businessman's advocacy.
His employees were also extremely loyal to him and this implied how strong the bond between Dylan and his workers.
Being a talent in both cultivation and in business meant that their Hall has scored a great talent in their camp. He had a gut feeling that with this kid's talent he would be able to create a high level business and render great contributions to the hall which sheltered him. Allen's eyes brightened as he envisioned these things to happen.
....
The Captain named Ran stepped forward and respectfully asked with a bow, " Sir Allen, does this mean that you were observing this matter all along?"
"Indeed." Allen Kindleheart answered with a smile.
"May I ask what is Sir Allen's reason for not interfering with the matters beforehand?" Ran asked once more as he faced Allen's gaze.
"Hahahaha, the reason is simple because as a senior, it is inappropriate for me to interfere with the matters of these juniors." Allen laughed valiantly.
"Then, may I ask how much of the event have Sir Allen recorded?" Captain Ran persisted in his interview.
This question gave a strand of hope to Ritz he hoped that this old geezer did not arrive during his blabber with Dylan or else he would truly be doomed. He had spoken some unpleasant things and insults to the Thundercloud Guards if that was included in what the mirror recorded then it would be without a doubt his doom
"From the moment that Young Dylan arrived." Allen replied honestly.
This reply made Ritz's soul flew away from his body. Because that was the moment, he said those horrible things because of his conceitedness. He never would have thought that he was already being recorded as he spoke those curses. If he knew, then he would without a doubt, redo everything from the very start.
This statement also shocked Dylan because it only took him a minute to travel the distance of 2 kilometer while running but this old geezer was able to cover over 20 kilometers in the same amount of time!! Dylan's eyes glistened as his imagination ran wild while dreaming of such speed and the power of flight.
Although he was a bit shocked, but such speed was already within his expectations. His determination to become stronger was fueled even more.
"Captain Ran, you should know that the youth are hot-blooded and act at the moment on impulse but this matter was a level higher than this. This is a clip about the true faces of these nobles and how they truly looked down on others." Allen's tone was light but the message it carried caused the nobles to tremble nonstop.
"I presume that sir Allen will provide us with accurate evidence to support this claim." Captain Ran replied.
"Hahaha, of course, now behold, their true colors." Allen presented the mirror as it replayed everything that happened ever since his arrival.
In the mirror, it could be seen how Dylan easily blocked Ritz's full strength attack. The next scene was the verbal fight that Dylan did and the guards heard everything that followed.
____
""S-sir Dylan..."
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with this noble's affairs!"
" 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."
"Youu!"
...
"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?"
"Argh!!"
...
"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.
...
"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.
___
The scenes kept flashing one by one as the crowd carefully watched the recording until the very last second of it.
The words of Ritz incurred both the fury and the wrath of all the experts of the Thundercloud Guards present. They felt angry because most of them even believed his lies! They wanted to rip him to shreds and kill him on the spot but they restrained themselves because the decision will still be decided by the Battalion Captain Ran.
Battalion Captain Ran had seemingly arrived at the decision yet before he announced his verdict. He wanted to ask one last thing to Auction Co-coordinator Allen.
"Sir Allen, before I announce my verdict, may I ask one more thing?"
"And, what would it it be?" Allen replied.
"What was the reason for someone like you to come to a place like this? I'm pretty sure it wasn't some coincidence that sir Allen came here while coincidentally bringing a Recording Mirror." Ran asked.
"The truth is it was because of Dylan Ford. He is valued by our Hallmaster and our Chief Coordinator. He asked for our help and also asked to bring a Recording Mirror to record regardless of what will happen their. I merely did what was asked of me." Allen replied smilingly.
The Guards and the Capstone were suddenly caught off guard when they heard what Allen said. Because if what he said was true, then wouldn't that mean that the young man named Dylan was the one who schemes against a Young Master from the Panther Family.
Not only that, to be able to perform such a trick that meant that he knew the Premier Hall enough that they would at least someone at the Origin Palace Realm to assist and would easily arrive outside the store in no time. 'What a clever and cunning brat he is', this was the thoughts of the Thundercloud Guards!
"The guilty in this matter is Ritz Panther. He committed heinous crimes accompanied with slanderous lies and vicious crimes! The nobles who followed him will be labeled as accomplices and will be apprehended immediately! Criminals, Surrender or face punishment!" Battalion Captain Ran announced.
The employees rejoiced while the nobles' countenance were all pale white. Ritz was feeling lost as he knew that he would lose everything he has now. He will expelled by his clan for the crimes that he committed. He was already a man who had nowhere to go.
Dylan merely smiled as his scheme was able to be done without a hitch and left some words to the lost Ritz as walked passed him.
"This is what you get for messing with my employees and my business."
