The Strongest Businessman 182 Chapter 182: Barry Does Business

Dylan and the four sect heads went back to his office at Soaring Garden Main Building. Right now, Arman and the others all had pale white complexions due to the Clear Silver Poison that Adalus served with his tea. Dylan had Barry come to his office to check the conditions of the four sect heads.

Dylan approached Barry and asked him of the four sect head's condition, "So, how are their conditions? Can you help them?"

Just a moment ago, Barry just finished with his diagnosis. He looked at the sect heads and said, "From what you have described and what I have collected from the diagnosis, it is certain that you four have been poisoned by the Clear Silver Poison."

"Clear Silver Poison?" The four sect heads were shocked yet depressed at the same time because they never have heard of this Clear Silver Poison before. What they were afraid was the possibility of having no antidote for this sort of poison. Thus, Okemos quickly asked, " What sort of poison is it? Is there a cure for it, Young n.o.ble?"

"Hahahaha..." Instead of answering Okemos' question, Barry strangely started laughing out of nowhere. To others, it might not be funny but for Barry who had lived for five centuries, it was hilarious. He sarcastically thought to himself, "Me, a young n.o.ble? Looking at your ages, I might even be old enough to be your grandfather!'

Barry's abrupt laugh caused the four sect heads' expressions to darken. They thought that this young man was laughing at them for not knowing what the Clear Silver Poison which they found excessively arrogant. Steven's hot temper started acting up again, "Are you mocking for not knowing something you know?! I know that ignorant is bliss but don't think we are easy to bully just because we're poisoned!"

With Steven exploding in anger, the other three did not stop their friend's outburst this time like they have always did because they thought that Steven's anger was with reason. Even if Barry was the brother of their business partner, they really could not tolerate such arrogant behavior.

Barry realized that his actions were somewhat inappropriate. As such, he quickly offered an explanation to appease Steven and the others. "Wait, you guys have misunderstood me. I actually have some emnity with some n.o.ble clans and have hated them ever since. So, when I heard you adressing me as Young n.o.ble, I could not help but laugh in sarcasm. I apologize for causing such a misunderstanding."

Hearing the murderous tone in Barry's voice, they knew that this 'emnity' is something to scoff off. Even Steven was taken aback when he felt that murderous vibe on Barry's voice. Arman was the one who stepped in and said, "Oh, we did not know that Friend Barton actually has such deep grudges. We did not mean any ill intentions. Please do understand."

"Don't worry. Similarly, I had no bad intentions to you guys as well. Thank you for understanding." Barry smiled and quickly moved on, "To answer you question earlier, the Clear Silver Poison is Tier 4 Great Poison which is rare especially around this state. It got it's name from being colorless and odorless and also from the heavy duty blockage it does to the spirit veins of the body. After which, it corrodes the entire spirit veins system until it is crippled. However, even if it is rare and has problematic effects, I still know of a way or two to cure it."

"Really? Then, please kindly treat us." Yander was elated when he heard that Barry could cure them. After learning that there was a cure for this acursed poison, how could he not grop a hold of it? He even respectfully cupped his fist towards Barry while he spoke

"Please treat us, Friend Barton." Barry's description of the poison scared all of them and the pain they felt from the poison was becoming unbearable as time pa.s.ses. Turning into a cripple who can't cultivate was worse than dying for any cultivator.

But, Barry actually rejected them by saying, "I'm sorry but no can do."

"What?! Weren't you brought here to heal us? Since you know how to concoct the antidote, why won't you make it for us, Friend Barton?" Okemos was stunned by Barry's actions. He thought that Dylan brought him here to heal us so why was he not helping them?

"Firstly, I was not brought here to heal you but to check on you. Secondly, I won't make one for you guys because it's value is incomparable to what you think. It might not even be something you would be able to afford with ease. Thirdly, why should I make it for you when I have no relations to you at all? You are my brother's business partner's and not mine. Lastly, I am not a saint who will benevolently give you something for free. If you want something, pay for it." Barry enumerated his reason for not doing so.

"..." The four sect heads was dumbfounded by Barry's barage of reasons. They could not retaliate at all and could only speechlessly listen because all of his reasons were sound and was not unjust. They could not help but feel deja vu in this sort of situation because they felt that they were also in a similar situation before.

This odd feeling prompted them to stare at Dylan's directions and they could not help but think helplessly, 'No wonder these two are brothers, they are almost exactly alike...'

When Dylan sensed the gazes of the four, he thought that they were trying to plead to him and help them discuss things with Barry. Dylan calmly apologized, "I am sorry, Sect Heads, but even I cannot bare to stop my brother because his reasons are justifiable. I cannot help you with this matter anymore. Please, forgive me."

"So, what are your decisions? I forgot to tell you that even for people at the Origin Palace Realm, they might not even last a day in putting resistance against the poison. Think wisely." Barry smirked when he saw that Dylan had no intention of speaking up for those four.

'These two are actually taking advantage of our misfortunes!' The four sect heads were actually helpless in front of a 18-year old young adult and a 24 year old man. They thought that Dylan planned this from the very beginning and that he only brought Barry here to fork out some money from them. These two brothers were actually conning them right now and they could not even do a thing!

"I am willing to buy from you. How much is the antidote?" Arman shook his head and conceded. He secretly commended this two in his heart and sighed, 'Life is more important than money... These brothers are really amazing. They are bound to reach the top in the future.'

"Sect Head Arman is truly wise. Since you are the first to avail the antidote, I'will give a ten percent off. Now, you only need to pay 40,500 gold coins." Barry smiled and quickly told Arman the price of his antidote. He amiably gave him a discount like a cunning businessman would.

"Isn't forty thousand five hundred a bit too expensive? Wait, does that mean it costs forty five thousand gold coins?" Arman currently understood why Barry told him that the price was not something that they could afford with ease. It was not just him, the others also realized this because it was actually this expensive!

"You mean forty thousand five hundred gold coins is more valuable than your cultivation?" Barry gave him a sarcatic remark which made Arman's face to twitch. He quickly took his joke back and expounded, "I'm just kidding. The reason why it is expensive because the price of the antidote is proportional to the grade of the poison. The Clear Silver Poison is a Tier 4 Great Poison that Intermiediate Poison Kings concoct so this price is only reasonable. Also, I only do jobs where the payments are given beforehand."

"Fine, I get it. Here is forty thousand five hundred gold coins." Arman gave two large bags which seemed to contain twenty thousand gold each and a small one that contained five hundred. He felt his heart ache when he handed that much money over. He was depressed as this cause his originally one hundred fifty thousand gold coins was reduced to only a hundred thousand due to this transaction.

"We will buy one too." The other three also handed over two bags which contained twenty thousand gold coins and another small bag that contained five hundred. They could only deeply sigh as they surrendered the bags to Barry.

"Wait a second, you three, your payment is lacking." Barry made the three halt and look at him with confusion. He quickly cleared up the matter by saying, "I only allowed Sect Head Heinze to pay forty thousand and five hundred gold because he was the first to avail it among four of you. Now, the discount is no longer available and you have to pay the full forty five thousand bill."

"You!! This is not fair!" The other three voiced out their frustration as they shouted while Arman who finished paying let out a sigh of relief. He was celebrating inwardly for being the first to speak out at least he was able to slightly reduce his losses.

"I'm sorry. That's my policy. First come first serve." Barry shook his head with no intention to bargain at all. Sensing this, the three sect could only unwillingly surrender another four thousand five hundred gold coins to Barry with defeated expressions, "Here."

"Glad to do business with you." Barry victoriously smiled as he turned around and went to another room to concoct. When he left the room, the sect heads truned to Dylan and said, "You two are really similar."

"Indeed, we are." Dylan chuckled as he served tea for the three and sat on his recliner while the four also sat on the chairs in front of his desk. While waiting for Barry, they discussed matters regarding the joint establishment they had.

The three were surprised to know that Dylan actually found another lot that was very similar to the lot that they wanted from the Eagle Sect. Although it was not as perfect as the original lot, it was still a great spot to establish at. They also discovered the reason why Dylan wanted the small lot from Adalus. It was because it was only a few blocks away from Dylan's Soaring Garden. The discussion went real smotth along with tye delegation of tasks among the five of them

An hour later...

"I'm done. Here are the antidotes, you've ordered." Barry entered the room and presented four vials of the antudote. After waiting for an hour, the antidote was finished and the four sect heads took thirty minutes to expel the poison from their bodies.

"Amazing! We actually broke though!" The medicine that Barry prepared actually helped them to breakthrough a stage which really surprised them! The grade of the medicine Barry prepared was really exceptional. In the end, they felt that their payment was not spent in vain.

"Thank you for the medicine, you have given us, Friend Barton. Young Master Dylan, Friend Barton, we shall now take our leave." The four sect heads gratefully bid their farewells and descended from the Soaring Garden Main Building happily.

After saying goodbye to Yander and the other three, Dylan and Barry eent inside the office again. Dylan then raised a question to Barry, "So how much did you profit?"

"Hehehe, exactly sixty two thousand gold coins." Barry smirled happily and calculated his profits from this transaction. Barry returned the question, "How about you? How much did you gain from that Adalus?"

"The same as you. Sixty thousand as well." Dylan replied with a smile but Barry remembered sometjing and said "Wait? How could that be? I thought that you paid thirty six thousand for the down payment and reservation of the lot? Also, why didn't you spilt the twenty five thousand among you, guys?"

"Nope, since I am the one responsible for the materials and the production of the wine, we agreed that they would be the ones to pay for the lot and the construction of the store. The reason why we didn't split the twenty five thousand was because we also had the agreement that we are only allowed to split the money that we have all contributed in getting. Since they did not contribute when I baragained with Adalus, all of this belonged to me." Dylan explicated calmly.

"Then, I guess, it's my win. I have sixty two while you only have sixty." Barry smirked. But Dylan quickly interjected, "You're mistaken, the lot I got was forty one thousand adding the twenty five thousand gift, I got sixty six. It's your loss, Barry."

"d.a.m.n it, you annoying and crafty tyc.o.o.n!" Barry cursed in his loss.

"Hahaha, whose annoying and crafty? Weren't you the one who dressed in brown cloaked in vehemently fought to annoy Brock Stone of Stone Edge Manor because you wanted to increase my profits during the auction?" Dylan laughed.

"You knew?!" Barry exclaimed he thought he brilliantly disguised himself during the auction but Dylan actually saw through his disguise.

"Of course. I found it weird you disappeared that day and the only ones I knew had those cloaks were Arnold and four more employees because I asked them to raise the bid by one if the bids started to slow down to keep the bids rising and only stop when the desried price was reached. Anyways, the only one who knows that plan other than the employees was you." Dylan smiled.

"Haayst, it seems like you are better than business than me after all." Barry sighed. He really could not match Dylan in both business and psychology at all.

"You're way more knowledgeable than me and have excellent medicinal skills. And, once you've crossed your tribulation the day after tomorrow, who knows, you might even become stronger and more talented than me in cultivation." Dylan cheered his brother up.

"You're right. Two days from now, evolving my Avatar will be my first step for revenge!" Barry clenched his fist as killing intent appeared in his eyes!
