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

”Mm.” Dyon nodded. ”You're saying that the Network only has value because the people trust your clan. Except, you're wrong.

”I guarantee you that neither the Star Clan, the Sprite Clans, nor the Dragon Clans, trust your Sapientia Clan even the smallest bit. In fact, just listing 3 is a bit of an understatement, in my view. Yet, did they not also begin to use your Network?”

Aritzia began to feel like she was losing control of the conversation. It wasn't in her or her Clan's best interest that such things became public knowledge. They relied too much on laymen blindly believing in their integrity.

”Let's leave that alone for a moment. Let me ask you some questions instead.” Dyon smiled. Seeing Aritzia sigh in relief, he knew he had firmly gained the upper hand. ”Are you aware of what the celestial deer corner sells? Are you aware of the revenue it generates? Do you believe that we need it?”

Dyon's words struck Aritzia one after another, leaving her speechless.

”We only sell pills that Sapientia don't monopolize the market on. Do you really believe that I don't have superior recipes to pills you already sell? Or is it that you believe we are afraid of a Clan of Librarians?”

Those watching Dyon's mighty display couldn't help but intake a sharp breath. Afraid of the Sapientia Clan? How could a Clan capable of breeding a genius like Dyon be afraid of such a thing?

”If I so chose, the Sapientia wouldn't be able to sell a single pill, weapon, or array to anyone. I could suffocate you to the point of bankruptcy with a single thought.”

Dyon's words grew more imposing, a calm Presence wafting out from within him as the flickering lights of moon qi slowly rose into existence.

”But,” Dyon's imposing aura vanished in an instant, ”I have no d.e.s.i.r.e to do such a thing. The only reason I began selling pills in celestial corner to begin with was to reacc.u.mulate the Faith my Sacharro Clan has been sorely lacking.

”But now, you've come to me, asking for my knowledge. And yet, you have no concept of what that knowledge it worth.

”You tell me, Lady Aritzia Sapientia, how much is everything the Sapientia have built to now worth? How much are your alchemy, formation, and weapon's master guilds worth?

”Since you've decided to piss me off, how much do you think your Sapientia Clan's place in this martial world is worth?”
