Chapter 726 Lith’s Goals And The Minister Of Finance

Looking at the boy being frozen on spot, Lith could guess that he recognized him.

Smiling, Lith said, "come, have a seat."

Yuwen was in utter shock and for a second forgot how to even walk normally as he stumbled while taking a step ahead.

Collecting himself, he went ahead and stood in front of Lith, asking him in disbelief, "A-Are you sure I can sit?"

Sitting in front of him seemed like a luxury. Even the strong lady who brought him here didn't seem to be sitting and went to stand behind this man.

"Yes. Sit down." Lith said calmly.

Yuwen gulped in nervousness but sat down nonetheless.

"You've grown quite a lot and aren't the same boy who's vision is limited to revenge." Lith said with a small smile.

Yuwen was feeling anxious sitting in front of Lith and conversing. Just Lith's aura was enough to make him scared and p.i.s.s his pants. 

That, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere made things worse for him.

Still, he composed himself and tried to converse normally.

"I am honoured, good sir." Yuwen bowed slightly and said.

"My name is L—"

Luna came forward and put her hand on Lith's mouth, making him unable to finish his sentence.

She bent down and whispered in Lith's ears, "pardon my intrusion, Your Highness. But you must not reveal your ident.i.ty unnecessarily."

Lith nodded in understanding. 

Luna went back to her position after reminding him of this.

"It seems I cannot tell you my name. Well, there will come a time when you'll get to know me better. For that time to arrive sooner, you must work hard and earn it, Yuwen." Lith said in a gentle tone.

His tone made Yuwen feel comforted. It was as if he was listening to a divine melody and the words were so warm that Yuwen felt he would melt.

"I'll work hard and do my best." Yuwen didn't know why, but he bowed and said respectfully.

"You can call me Your Highness until then."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuwen felt this t.i.tle to be correct and got to terms with it immediately.

"Yuwen, I called you here to remind you that there's a place you need to be in. A place that needs your talents." 

Lith decided to be honest with Yuwen.

"To reach this place, you need to become the world's biggest merchant, and a strong immortal. Just brains isn't enough, you need brawns to back it up as well."

"I'll provide you with the tools, but you have to pave the path yourself."

Such profound words made Yuwen want to cry. He had never had someone support him like this and had always felt he was alone in this world after his mother's death.

 Now, there was someone who appreciated his talent and needed him. It really was something that ignited his will to live on.

Yuwen got up and did a deep bow. He said, "I hope I live up to your standards, Your Highness."

Lith nodded. "I'll be keeping an eye on you, Yuwen. Do your best. The first task of yours is to take over the World Merchant a.s.sociation. I don't know how you'll do it, but once you do, you can come and start working with me."

Yuwen agreed with this condition. Even he had no idea how to go about this thing, but at least he had a goal to look forward to.

"Is there any time limit?" 

Lith thought about it and didn't have any idea. He made Luna come closer and asked, "what's the average time for a person to become an Emperor Rank?"

"If we're talking about the average, it's half a million years. But if it's geniuses who have the potential to be a Supreme, around a hundred thousand years for them then." Luna answered.

Lith nodded. He then turned to Yuwen and said, "100,000 years is the time limit. If you somehow manage to control the entire a.s.sociation before this, bonus points for you."

"If I also need you before that, I'll call you."

Yuwen bowed and said, "As His Highness wishes."

Lith was happy with his performance and was glad that he had an eye for talented people.

Lith conversed with Yuwen for a bit more and then dismissed him.

He had found himself a potential minister of finance and there were many more such ministers that Lith was in need of.

The Royal Servants were good too and he had a few people in mind whom he could recruit from there.

Lith couldn't take every Royal Servant as they had to work in maintaining the clan.

Lith's goals were to have deep connections with the people in the cosmos so that he could get everything he wanted and cultivate faster, eventually being able to protect his loved ones.

Lith knew he could touch the G.o.d realm just by using the resources of this world and he was planning to do just that and then venture outside.

His goals were really simple.

It was to cultivate as hard as possible and also have his wives do the same thing.

Once everyone's cultivation was raised to the G.o.d realm, aka the Legendary Rank, he would venture outside with the ministers he had gathered and make a big web that captures everything.

Lith had such big goals but it would take quite some time to reach there.

He first had a birthday celebration to attend to and only then would his real cultivation chapter begin.

Lith looked forward to the great things that were about to come and busied himself with work.

A week later.

The Dracula Castle, Milano.

"Dennis, sweetie, are you ready?" Fiora knocked on the door and asked.

"Two minutes, mom!" Dennis answered.

"We're getting late, what are you even doing?" Fiora asked in a hurried tone.

This was an important day since there was gonna be the Queen herself in the celebration.

Fiora didn't know what to feel knowing her son was friends with the Prince himself, but whatever was the case, she was happy her son had friends.

Fiora was in a good mood today and called Dennis as sweetie, otherwise she would just judge him and call him a disappointment for the most part, which he really was, given how much he played games.

"I'm dressing up, mom. Give me a minute." Dennis yelled from the inside.

"Tsk. How long?" Fiora couldn't help but think. She slammed the door open to see what was he even wearing, only to turn speechless.

In front of her, Mu Mu was trying his best to tie a tie on Dennis with his hooves that provided no ability to even hold the tie properly while Dennis just stood there and watched him.

"What the…" Fiora was utterly speechless.

"M-Mom!?"

"M-Moo!?" 

Dennis and Mu Mu both were shocked.

"Wait, I can explain—"

"Dennis, I am not even surprised anymore..." Fiora sighed and shook her head. "…just too… disappointed."

"…"

"…"

Dennis and Mu Mu were both speechless now.

"Moo!" Mu Mu harrumphed and scolded Dennis for being so stupid.

"Hey! It's your fault for not even being able to tie a tie!" Dennis shifted the blame.

"Moo? Moo moomoo moo!" That's right, he was a cow, he didn't even have fingers to hold the tie properly, how could even tie it? Was Dennis stupid or something!?

"You—"

"Shut it, you two." Fiora walked towards the two and said.

She held Dennis's tie and said with a stern face, "you better learn how to tie a tie, mister. Otherwise I'm gonna whoop your a.s.s. Mu Mu is exempted from this because he's a cow."

"Why!? Why the discrimination against me?" Dennis protested.

Moo made a smug expression and flexed his biceps, happy to see Dennis suffer.

Fiora did a head chop on both the two and said, "we're getting late, stop your shenanigans."

The two stood quietly and Fiora tied the two's tie and got them ready for the party.

Dennis and Mu Mu both wore suits.

Fiora helped Dennis prepare better and once they were done, they left for the Mermaid Islands.

On Ralph's side, in the l.u.s.t Castle…

"Ralph-chwaaan~~" A happy Avelyn popped up in Ralph's room unannounced and hugged him from behind as he was wearing his pants.

She kissed his cheek and slithering her hands around his body, said seductively, "do you want to have a quickie before the long celebrations, honey? Mommy is all ready for it!~"

Ralph sighed and shook his head. "We're getting late, mother. And after the celebrations, there's gonna be quite some time."

"Hehehe~, so you didn't deny my advances and just delayed it. Oh how my sweet Ralph had grown up." Avelyn giggled and kissed Ralph's cheek again.

Ralph didn't bother to comment on this as whatever shouldn't have happened, had already happened between him and his mother.

There was no going back now.

He somehow managed to keep his mother off of him during dressing up and when he was done, left with her and others for the Mermaid Islands.

Meanwhile on Lith's side…

…..

A/N: Just a few hours until the Powerstones reset happens.

It's at 747/900. 

Finish this goal and get +1 bonus.

If by any chance you end up doing 1k Powerstones, I'll publish the above bonus and additional two chapters alongside normal chapters.

Meaning, there's one bonus remaining for 600/600 Powerstones, and if you complete 900/900 and 1000/1000 too, I'll do a ma.s.s release of 5 chapters.

You can make it six chapters if you finish the 300/300 golden ticket goal too.

Good luck everyone!
