Chapter 1667 - Celestial Doors (1) (1/2)

A cold wind seemed to blow following Dyon's words. The combination of the shock of the crowd and the Sapientia, and the deadpan expression of Dyon and the Demon Generals, only made the atmosphere all the more stifling.

By now, the Sapientia Network had grown into an absolute behemoth. Just based on the fees needed to take part in the second phase, the Network as a whole was bringing in the revenue a top 20 quadrant brought in, in a year, in just a single month!

In fact, it was still expanding wildly. It seemed like every other day, some business savvy individual would come up with a new idea. Now, there were forums for everything from typical auctions, to brothels, to even mercenary services.

The longer the Sapientia Network stayed active, the more trust people began to place into it, and thus the greater it became. It wouldn't be more than 10 years before the Sapientia Network's revenue matched a top 10 quadrant, and no more than a hundred before it made what the top 3 quadrants made in a year consistently.

[Author's Note: I worded this a bit oddly. Well, not oddly, but it is a bit confusing considering I noted what they made in a month before. Here, when I say they'll make what top 10 and top 3 quadrants make in a year, I'm referring to in a year time frame. The gap in wealth between a top 20 quadrant and a top 10 to 3 one is that large.]

It was no wonder Dyon was overflowing with more money than he knew what to do with. As things stood now, he only had to support a single universe. On top of that, the singular universe he was supporting wasn't even filled to capacity like much of the top tier quadrants experienced.

In addition to this, there were only about 8-9 more months before the Dark Ocean was completely sealed off, which would cause Dyon's wealth to reach an unimaginable level. And this was even before phase three was implemented!

Yet, he was asking for 30%!

This was shocking enough already, but Dyon and his Demon Generals knew something Aritzia and the Sapientia did not. While the Sapientia controlled 70% now, who was it that controlled 30%? Was it not Dyon's very own wife, Clara? If they signed over 30% to Dyon now, it would be the equivalent of handing 60% of the Sapientia Network to the Sacharro Clan! By then, their fates would be sealed.

”This… That's quite an ask.” Aritzia hollowly chuckled. In any other circ.u.mstance, she wouldn't have even flinched at such a high asking price. Instead, she would smile and laugh, maintaining proper decorum. But, unfortunately, Dyon had thrown her mind out of focus, forcing her into a state where she couldn't control her own emotions.

”Is it? I don't think so. I was actually planning on asking for 50% originally.” Dyon responded. ”The fact you feel this way only means that you definitely do not understand the value of my knowledge.”

Dyon shrugged. ”I don't blame you. You don't seem to have much knowledge of what it means to be a Moon Lord at my age.”

Aritzia's brows twitched, not liking what Dyon was insinuating. ”Are you aware of how much the Sapientia Network is worth? Are you aware of why it's called the Sapientia Network to begin with? Do you believe my clan to be so narcissistic that it would slap its name onto an invention created by Comet Lord Gallagher?”
