Chapter 1031 Coupon
The projection crowns had many levels, and each level had specific auras. Cleath, as a region manager for the Simple Life building, himself had a very high projection aura himself, and had been exposed to some of the highest auras in the land.
The local powers, whether it was the Torrin family or the Wood family, both were practically inconsequential beyond their own city. Cleath himself, in fact, had a Silver rank projection, which was one of the highest around. After all, it had to be known that no one could inherit a projection rank higher than Bronze-Gold. To go from Bronze-Gold to Rusted-Silver itself was an immense feat that many were not able to do during their entire lives.
To then go from Rusted-Silver to Silver, Cleath had proved himself to be an extraordinary warrior with immense foresight and courage. His cultivation level at the peak of the Foundation realm was nothing to scoff at. He was one of the strongest people in the city, though obviously, not quite the strongest.
But regardless, his position was enough to show that his background was extraordinarily deep. In fact, he had even once been to one of the three Primary cities of the sealed domain - each city requiring a minimum of Rusted-Silver projection just to enter. Although not one to show off, it was fair to say that Cleath had felt his fair share of powerful auras.
But even so, he had never felt an aura like the one Lex had let leak. He had no resistance in front of it at all. He instead felt like his entire life rested in the palm of Lex's hands, and instead of being afraid or terrified of that fact, he should feel honored.
His cultivation had thoroughly withdrawn itself, leaving him with no more strength than that of a mortal. This was a phenomenon that he was familiar with. Beasts did it in the face of those with very high projections. It was involuntary. But he'd never heard of someone with an aura level high enough to affect humans!
"Cleath, are you okay?" Lex asked after a few moments. The man had been completely unresponsive. He hoped he hadn't knocked him unconscious.
Cleath trembled and then fell back into his seat. His limbs had completely lost all strength, though they were quickly recovering.
He wondered if the chef would be good enough to work with ingredients Lex provided. He was looking forward to it. But first, he decided to change his clothes.
Although he enjoyed wearing a suit, it did not fit in well with the clothing style of the area. While Lex had no intention of making himself look like he had been injecting steroids to fit in, dressing the part was not an issue.
By now, he knew the city like the back of his hand, which is why he also knew the location of the best clothes designer in the area. Even though Torrinwood was nor particularly well known for its fashion, since most of its residents were workers and warriors, with only a few rich families, it was not like they were completely deprived of it either.
Lex walked into a rather well-designed building that looked like it had been carved out of a single, large slab of marble. The buildings sold more than just clothes, and was the closest thing to a mall he had found. His arrival drew a few curious stares, since he was so 'frail' and dressed oddly, but no one made any trouble for him. Yet.
Lex also wasn't interested in waiting for someone to make a fool of himself. Even without trying, he had already learnt a lot about how everything worked here, so there was no reason for him to act as if he knew nothing.
He walked up to one of the staff members, and showed his Simple Life registration token, which had his identity as a rank 5 member written on it.
"I'd like access to the top floor," Lex said with a smile. "Could you take me there?"
"Ye- yes! Immediately, sir! Follow me!" squeaked the girl when she saw his token. A rank 5 member? That was equal to the head of the two leading families! She couldn't even begin to imagine the identity of the strange man who had just walked up to her!
