36 Chapter 36: Turning the Tables Around (1/2)
Andrew was now smiling confidently and the anger that was previously seen on his face has been burried by that proud smile of his. Andrew calmly clasped his fingers and rested them on top of his stomach and crossed his legs as he slowly sat like an aristocrat.
This sudden change in disposition of Andrew made Dylan feel uneasy. Dylan scanned his surroundings and he discovered that the three giants suddenly became more aloof and dignified with their auras. Even the savage looking Guild Master Blood Wolf was in sync with this sudden change of atmosphere. Dylan became more alert and on guard because he feared their might be a sudden ambush among the four others in this table. So instead of waiting, Dylan took the initiative to break the frozen atmosphere in this room.
” So what were the important matters that you spoke of earlier, Friend Andrew?” Dylan asked in a calm manner.
”Oh, it seems like Friend Dylan is eager to know those matters. Okay then, I shall not delay any longer.” Andrew spoke smilingly as his train of thought followed with the recitation of his statement
' Fool, since you are so eager to fall, let me help you by sending you on your way. Wahahaha.'
The three giants stood up and spoke in unison. ” Dylan Ford,the factions administered by us the three giants of the Soaring Cloud City hereby terminate any type of connection and relationship to you and now formally starts an alliance with Lord Andrew.”
The words of the three reverberated throughout the room. Andrew was smiling ever since the first down to the last word that the three giants articulated. Andrew was feeling as though he was already witnessing his victory over Dylan Ford and his Gardenford Restaurant. He was feeling blissful thinking that Dylan's downfall would imply the rise of his Vigor Hotel. He could not help but feel giddy when he thought of this. He turned to look to Dylan trying to get a sight of the expression he wanted Dylan to bear.
' Hahaha, now despair for me, Dylan Ford. This is where your story ends. Bwahaha.'Andrew's smile was reaching his eyes as his head tilted to Dylan's direction but his expectations were far from reality as he saw a fully warm and calm smiling face sitting on that seemingly lonely chair. Dylan's smile did not diminish one bit. Not even stiffness nor forced expressions could be seen on his handsome face. It was as though everything that the three giants announced were nothing but common gossip or topic by friends.
'Huh?! What is happening here?! Why isn't he showing the slightest bit of shock?!' Andrew was hysterically thinking because he could not understand why Dylan is still able to stay calm at such a moment. Dylan was losing three of his main suppliers. It seemed as though everything that occurred was already anticipated by Dylan.
'Maybe he's just trying to put up a brave front... Hahaha. Although I salute you with your acting skills that you are able to almost trick me into believing youbut this type of bluffing will not work on me. Hahahahaha.' Andrew consoled himself by speaking words like this on his mind. 'Let me add some more stress to you. I refuse to believe that you will not show your true emotions once you have been pushed to the very brink. Hahahahaha.'
”Not only that, I, Andrew Vigor, is accusing you of trickery and improper usage of the powers of aMystical Magnate. The three giants have already confessed of this usage when you used it against them. This is against the rules set by the Mystical Magnate Tower. Written on Article XI Paragraph 28, I quote, 'A conferred Mystical Magnate of the great tower shall not use the powers of Harmonized Soul and King of Souls for deception, adultery, massacre or any type of villainous acts. If violated, any Mystical Magnate of higher tier or equal tier shall be given sanction to carry outcapital punishment to the violator.' and I end my quote.” Andrew was smirking as he quoted the specific verse inscribed in the Tower Constitution Scrolls of Mystical Age.
Andrew, as a conferred Mystical Magnate of the Mystical Magnate Tower,learned these laws as it was mandated by the Council of Elders that every Mystical Magnate should learn of the rules and regulations inscribed within the ancient scrolls. Even Magnate Apprentices have to learn this as well, that is why the three giants were also aware of the rules. That was why he also assumed that Dylan knew as he felt that a businessman of his caliber would at least be a Tier 3 Mystical Magnate.
The three giants told him it might be because of his natural talent when it came to business and trade but Andrew suspected that Dylan was already a Mystical Magnate who was conferred by the Mystical Magnate Tower as he was able to beguile the three giants which even though, he was capable of doing so but cannot do it so easily like how the three giants described what Dylan only had to do in order for them to be hypnotized by Dylan's Harmonized Soul State. Andrew was assuming that Dylan was already at the peak of the Tier 3 Mystical Magnate who even have the potential to breakthrough already.
Andrew was smiling widely and was hoping to watch Dylan's expression to change but he did not know why and how Dylan could still be smiling calmly at this moment. Andrew felt that something was off when he saw Dylan smiling. He checked his soul state and he confirmed he was not beguiled by Dylan.Andrew has been using a secret technique that prevents anyone under Tier 4 to not be able to beguile anyone as long as that someone is within his proxemity.
”Why are you smiling fpr, vile villain?!” Andrew roared.
”Oh, nothing. It was just I find it funny.” Dylan merely smiled at him.
”You find your death funny?” Andrew sarcastically asked.
