Chapter 671 Meeting The Owner Of Scelestus

Chapter 671  Meeting The Owner Of Scelestus

Next day.

After another round of naughtiness, Lucifer went back home while Alea chose to rest as she was tired.

Lith was sipping tea and browsing through news when he got a call from Luna stating the things he wanted were ready.

Feeling amused, Lith sent her his location and within a few moments, Luna reached the hotel room's lounge.

Lith left the room after telling Alea he had work and asked her to rest well.

Reaching the lounge, he saw Luna in a black dress, rather than her maid outfit, sitting and eating a cheesecake.

"Sup, Luna." Lith waved at her while walking close to her.

"Greet—"

Lith gestured her to stay seated. "Let's save the formalities."

Luna nodded and went back to having her cake.

Sitting beside her, Lith asked, "the blood is ready?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Luna took out a suitcase from her ring and put it in front of Lith. Forking some cake and eating it, she said, "I was surprised with the early blooming and then the amount that was harvested."

Lith raised an eyebrow. "From your words it sounds like all went really well."

visible.

"It did. Please check it."

Lith opened the suitcase, only to see that it was dark and cold. There was mist covering the darkness and a bottomless hole was visible.

In the hole were what seemed like hundreds of wine barrels, hovering and covered by the mist.

Lith felt surprised. "That… indeed is a lot."

"Right?" Luna smiled and said. "What will you do about it, Your Highness?"

Lith closed the suitcase and said while getting up, "sell it, of course. Do you wanna join?"

"Sure." Luna finished the cake and tagged along.

Lith went to the 50th floor where trade took place and headed straight to the reception.

He showed the receptionist his card and well… it wasn't a surprise that she was shocked out of her wits and so were her colleagues.

Lith was immediately treated like a king and escorted to a more private and luxurious space.

Soon, a fat guy arrived in the room, and judging from his face, it was evident that he had to rush here.

This guy was Andreas and Lith had seen him before multiple times.

Andreas, when he saw Lith, immediately felt great pressure descend down on him.

Although Lith was wearing casual clothing and sitting leisurely, there was an air of authority around him and a look of superiority which couldn't be hidden.

Not to mention the lady sitting beside him, she was exuding a very dangerous aura, despite sitting calmly and not even looking anywhere.

"What can I help you with today, sir?" Andreas was in a butler's outfit and said after bowing.

"I have some stuff to sell." Lith said calmly.

"Right away." Andreas hurried to set up things so that Lith could see stuff immediately.

He was the only Black Card Holder in the world, delay of even a second meant Andreas wouldn't have his head over his body.

Once everything was set up, Lith took out a small vial from his ring and handed it to Andreas.

"Have a look."

Andreas took it and he felt another surprise for the day. "The Blood of the Konzak Tree?"

Lith nodded. "How much for a 100 ml vial?"

"Please wait a second." Andreas carefully took a small drop from the vial and put it on an artifact that looked like a badge.

The blood was evenly spread on it and soon, it glowed and started evaporating, eventually leaving nothing but a few specks of ashes.

Andreas examined the ashes and said, "the quality of this is very low. It seems that the blood was drawn from the tree a very long time ago. I am afraid, sir, that—"

"Check this one, then." Lith handed another vial to Andreas.

Andreas took it and examining it, saw that the blood was already a much brighter shade than the current sample.

Andreas repeated the process and when he was checking the ashes, he saw them to be bright red.

His eyes opened wide and he couldn't help but ask, "this… this is peak quality! It couldn't get any better than this!"

Lith smiled. "So, how much?"

Andreas did a rough calculation and said, "for a 100 ml of this quality, I could provide sir with one mid grade magic stone or some other thing of equivalent value."

This was Lith's time to be surprised now. 'One mid grade magic stone? That's ten billion dollars! Holy… I knew I'd be rich within nineteen years by selling this blood, but who would've thought that I'd hit a jackpot like this.'

Despite being surprised, Lith hid his emotions very well and said, giving a nod, "Alright, I accept it."

Andreas smiled and bowed. "I'll go get the magic stone then."

"Hold on." Lith stopped Andreas.

"Yes, sir?" Andreas asked.

Lith put his suitcase on the table. "I have a little more."

Andreas smiled. "No worries, sir. We'll take everything you have and give you a good price."

He then touched the suitcase and asked, "May I?"

Lith nodded.

Smiling, Andreas opened the suitcase, only to freeze on the spot and feel a chill down his spine.

'S-S-SO MUCH!!?!'

Andreas's face paled and he momentarily had no idea what to do.

He didn't have the authority to make such a big purchase and he knew buying so much blood would leave a hole in the organization's treasury.

Andreas carefully closed the suitcase and putting on a nervous smile, he said, "S-Sir, can you please give me a minute?"

Lith nodded. "Make it quick."

"Y-Y-Yes." Andreas ran away the moment he got an opportunity.

Once away from Lith and in a secluded room, he dialed a number and waited for the call to get connected.

*

Ring… Ring…

A green-haired lady's phone rang and being right beside it, she looked at the number and picked up the call.

"Yes, Andreas?" The lady asked in a calm tone.

"L-L-Lady Rain! There's trouble!" Andreas's panic-stricken voice answered.

Rain frowned. "What happened?"

Andreas carefully explained everything and once Rain realized the emergency, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

"Stop panicking. I'll have a chat with Madam and be there in a few minutes. Until then, make sure to give our guests whatever they need. By whatever, I mean WHATEVER. Entertain all their wishes and if they even go as far as to asking you to kill an entire race of people, do it without batting an eye, got it?"

Andreas sucked in a cold breath of air. He had no idea who these people really were… but such preferential treatment… this was totally out of bounds and not something anyone but this person holding the Black Card had.

"Understood, Lady Rain." Andreas cut the call after saying so.

Rain, putting her phone away, grinned and feeling giddy, said, "it'll be so fun to see the Prince's reaction when he finds out!"

Rain picked up her things and immediately left the room, being all smiles and shaking with excitement.

An hour later.

Andreas was sweating while being in the presence of Lith. Each second felt an eternity and he only wished that time passed soon.

Lith had done nothing to him and was just conversing with Luna the entire time.

Despite being told to wait, Lith was alright with it and whatever Andreas was imagining didn't happen. Lith didn't ask him to perform a genocide or made any weird request. He just asked for tea and cakes, and that was about it.

Andreas's wait was finally over as he heard a knock on the door. He immediately went there to get it and saw a lady in a red dress walk inside the room.

The lady did a deep bow to Lith and Luna and asked them to come with her.

Andreas thought he was finally left alone and sighed in relief, but the lady in red dress asked him to come as well, putting him in great despair.

Andreas could do nothing but bow his head down and follow them.

Walking for a while and taking an elevator, Lith soon reached the 100th floor, the topmost one.

He was told that whatever he was selling was of such a high amount that the owner wanted to have a chat with him before making a purchase.

This made Lith feel surprised and he started guessing who and how the owner of such a massive underworld organization was.

Did the owner look like a mafia smoking a cigar and having many scars? Or did he look like he ran a cartel and appeared very rough?

Lith's guesses were all leaning towards a muscular bearded man with a deep scar on his face, and with this in mind, he walked towards the meeting room.

Soon, Lith reached the designated place and saw two people sitting in a luxurious room.

Both were men with one appearing rugged while the other retained some feminine looks.

"Please have a seat." The lady in red dress instructed and went out of the room.

Finally, in the spacious and grand room, there were just four people.

"So you're the one selling us such a big consignment, yes?" The rough looking man stroked his beard and asked, without doing any introduction.

Lith was fine with no introduction and just said, "Yes."

"Hmm…" the man kept stroking his beard. He turned to look at his assistant and asked, "how much will it cost us again?"

The assistant took out some files and nudging his glasses, said seriously, "if our calculations are right with the amount this gentleman possesses, it's around a thousand peak-grade magic stones."

'!!?!!!?!' Lith's eyes widened in shock, just listening to that.

A thousand… peak-grade!?!?

A mid-grade magic stone was equivalent to ten billion dollars, a high grade was equivalent to a trillion dollars, and a peak-grade was equivalent to a hundred trillion dollars.

Doing the math, it meant 100,000 trillion dollars… a sum so astronomically high that even Lith couldn't fathom just what he could do with it.

This amount of money was enough to buy any tier 2 city from any continent!

Even though Lith was shocked, he hid it and keeping a calm look, waited to see what the owner of the organization had to say.

The owner stroked his beard and said, "hmm… that's a lot of money if I were to say." He then faced Lith and asked him to show the barrels.

Lith did and after a brief inspection, the owner said, "youngster, this'll be a massive purchase Scelestus has done in a while. I can't easily give you our money, I have some conditions."

"What conditions?" Lith was ready to fulfil any condition as long as it was within his scope.

The owner got up and walked towards Lith. He stood in front of him and put his hand on Lith's shoulders, grabbing him firmly.

Lith knitted his brows and looked at the man.

Luna was right beside him so he wasn't very afraid, but what the owner was doing was making him highly uncomfortable.

Lith put up his guard and looked at him.

The muscular and bearded owner peered into Lith's eyes and, putting on a serious expression, said, "Youngster, the condition is that…"

"…I want you to kiss me."

A/N: Hi guys, I am in good health and will be posting everyday without fail.

You can stockpile the chapters and wait... or you could always skip it if you want more by grabbing the bonuses from me.

I'll post three chapters for every magic castle, seven for every spacecraft, and a whopping fourteen for every gachapon!

This is promise and in case I fail to do it, I'll make privilege free for the next month ;)

PS: I don't have a stockpile and I write everyday, so for bonuses, you'd need to wait one day if it's three chapters, two days if it's seven, and four days if it's fourteen.

Also yes, I'll upload all bonus chapters in one go and it'll come together with the daily ones. This means, if you send a gachapon, I'll be posting fifteen chapters in one, single, day!

This is a lot of work, but this is my commitment and I guarantee that the quality of chapters won't go down despite the mass release.

I thank you for your understanding, have a good day and happy reading!
