Chapter 37 37: Andrew's Insanity
Andrew was fuming with anger when he heard those words. He felt like Amanda was belittling him and praising Dylan instead. He could not help but feel extremely incensed when he thought of how Amanda regarded Dylan as her opponent.
"Is my standing in your eyes really that low that you would go as far as compare me to a country bumpkin, Amanda Cross?!" Andrew roared so hoarsely he sounded like a beast.
"I admit that you have decent talent and I believe in masters words that you can reach the 9th tier but that is everything you will ever amount to. You will never reach the rank of Lord much less a Duke because of your lustful nature of harassing your employees and malicious ways. So stop dreaming! However, this Dylan, is a Magna Magnate that is already comparable to the fourth tier which is very rare in the Mystic Red Cloud State. I have already seen enough and shall report your misdeeds to the tower I will now take my leave and return to the capital." Without delay, Amanda disappeared in sight after she ended her reply.
"What speed!" The three giants had their eyes glittering from the strength that Amanda possess because that was the strength of the next cultivation realm.
"Damn, that woman! Argh!!!" Andrew bellowed angrily.
"She is from the Cross Clan? The same as Rea." Dylan was somewhat at a loss. He never would have thought he would meet another "Cross" in this city. The Cross Clan are extremely popular not only in the Mystic Red Cloud State but in the entire Mystical Clouds Country. The reason for this was the Cross Clan's founder was the 18th True King of the Six Mystical States 1000 years ago! He was the last True King to ever exist in the Mystical Age, Jiro Cross! Jiro Cross was known to be the strongest practitioner of the dual swords. He is one of the five True Kings that were able to successfully establish a clan which are still able to steadily stay on their peaks without any signs of decline.
Dylan could not help but remember the very first customer he had who had so much overwhelming talent that she was able to reach the Pinnacle of the Spirit Gathering Realm at the age of 16!
'I wonder how she is doing.' Dylan wondered.
But as Dylan was reminiscing, Andrew sank even more to insanity as he was left by his secretary after an embarrassment like that. Andrew was boiling from rage and since Amanda, the one who lit the flames of fury in his heart was now gone, so he put all the blame to Dylan.
"It was because of you!!" Andrew was sinking to further depths as his eyes turned bloodshot from anger and his nerves started appearing on his face from the constricting of his face. He was filled with wrath and killing intent because if Amanda were to report the tower about his wrongdoings, he would die an untimely death.
"Surrender now, Andrew Vigor!" Guild Master Blood Wolf shouted.
"Shut up, you senile old fool! Don't you remember about the deal we made?! I gave you 10 soul stones each so that you would all be able to break through! Now, keep your end of the deal!!" Andrew loudly insulted Guild Master Blood Wolf as he reminded them of the contract.
Soul stones are similar to Spirit Stones because they are both cultivation resources for Cultivators and Mystical Magnate. Soul stones are materials which contains significant amounts of soul energy that will help aid the refinement of the Magnate Strength. That is the reason Mystical Magnates try to collect as many Soul Stones as possible in order to have a greater chance of ascending to the next realm of the Mystical Magnates.
"Now that you are dying the contract is now obselete, you disrespectful brat!!!" Guild Master Blood Wolf reprimanded Andrew.
"Do you remember this?! This is a Magnate Contract Seal you all signed! So if you want to betray me by attacking me, you will break the oath you promised on this contract and your souls would be severely damage leaving you to a life of a retard! Hahahaha!" Andrew mockingly laughed at Guild Master Blood Wolf's foolishness.
"What?! A Magnate Contract Seal?! You tricked us?!" Pavilion Head Galagher was shocked when he heard this.
"You told us that it would only be used as a form of document! How dare you trick us!" Garden Owner Elmer who is usually calm became angry because they were tricked into signing a Magnate Contract! They were ignorant about this because they thought what they signed was only a document.
A Magnate Contract is leaving behind your soul imprint that is made from Magnate Strength and leaving it onto a Soul Lock Scroll which was made from the leaves of the Soul Lock Tree. This is a contract Mystical Magnates sign in order to prevent miserly businessman or deceptive businessmen to commit any type of crime. It is a method to ensure that businessmen who would sign the contract would follow the deal they have made with one another. This is because if broken, it causes a backlash which is two times stronger than you in your soul and it would result to retardedness which would be the same as living a life worse than death.
"Hahaha, it wasn't easy but during our meeting, I was secretly performing a beguiling technique but you were all too idiotic to notice it and followed my suggestions like mindless buffoons! When I told you to release your Magnate Strengths for me to assess the amount of soul stones that I would be giving you, that was when I manipulated your Magnate Strengths to create soul imprints of each and every one of you! Hahahahaha! Of course, if you were aware on what I was doing the creation of the soul imprints would backfire on me, but you were all stupid animals to fall for that!" Andrew laughed like a madman as he was relentlessly mocking the three giants.
"You!!!" The three giants were filled with intense regret and hatred because of Andrew's mockery.
"Now, I fully activate the contract! Hahahaha, I will now receive immunity from any type of harm you three are currently thinking of right now! Hahahaha!"
"And here I was thinking you were some principled person to accuse me of doing such evil acts but here you are acting like someone who is simple-mindedly blurting out his crimes. Just how hypocritical can you get?" Since Andrew was done with the display of formalities and was acting more hypocritical as each moment passes by, Dylan could no longer remain idle and showed his disdain openly.
"Shut the fuck up! You are the reason I am acting like this! You're the hypocrite! You're entire family are all hypocrites!' Andrew howled in madness.
"Since I am going to die anyway, I will have you die before me! Hahahahaha!" Andrew was like a psychopath as he continued to scream while laughing.
"Tell me, how to undo this type of contract, sir Galagher?" Dylan was willing to help the three giants even though they betrayed him, but he knew it was because of Andrew's deception. Although he was also able to get their support through beguiling, but Dylan was unaware on how to properly use his peerless Harmonized Soul State up until now. He arrived near the three and asked.
"Ugh, I truly am very thankful, sir Dylan. But, I only know of two ways to make the contract useless. The first is for an outsider to snatch the contract and destroy it with spirit energy but this is option is out of the option as he is stronger than you and you still have yet to reach the Awakened Spirit Realm. The second is to use "Se Battre Pour Un Client". This method means to "fight over a client". It is a method which you use your Magnate Strength to enter the Soul Lock Scroll and trigger the Soul of the Contract which will invoke "Se Battre Pour Un Client"." Pavilion Head Galagher discussed the options. Although he wasn't aware of what the Soul Lock Scroll looked like, but he was still able to read several books about it. Thus, giving him the knowledge of this matter.
"Galagher, are you serious? This may endanger Dylan's life!" Garden Owner Elmer spoke in shock.
"Yes, there is no other way." Galagher replied while he shook his head bitterly as he could not think of no other way.
"Okay." Dylan answered as he tried to control his Magnate Strength. When it manifested, it went slightly out of control as a huge ball of energy formed a giant blob. Dylan concentrated and focused on the scroll above Andrew who was fast approaching him.
"Hahaha a last minute struggle, Dylan Ford? What a disappointment you are! Hahahaha!" Andrew laughed madly when he saw Dylan generating his unstable and uncontrollable Magnate Strength. He rushed forward with the intent to kill! He produced a sword and started injecting spirit energy on it as an Avatar of a long sword appeared on his back while he dashed forward.
"Hahahaha, die!" Andrew yelled insanely.
Dylan was finally able to guide his Magnate Strength towards the Scroll and it shot forward as fast a bullet and entered the Soul Lock Scroll floating within Andrew's vicinity! The energy successfully entered as a human like persona started to appear on top of the scroll with its eyes closed and its arms were placed on his lap. Dylan knew he was successful on releasing the Soul of the Contract after his Magnate Strength entered the Soul Lock Scroll.
But unfortunately, Andrew's Avatar striked out and Dylan was hit as he was sent flying. He knew what he had to react but the blade was faster so Dylan was in for more pain. He was bleeding but he successfully released the Soul of the Contract which means he would finally be able to fight over the ownership of the Soul Lock Scroll.
"Hahahaha, you are still, alive, huh? Let me finish off your suffering for good. Hahaha!" Andrew laiughed in his madness as he tried to approach Dylan and try to kill.
"Let the negotiations begin... Soul of the Magnate Contract open the seal!" Dylan shouted.
