146 Chapter 146: Threa (1/2)

”CONGRATULATIONS!”

The auction has come to a close. Dylan was congratulated by all the participants for a very successful and a rather bountiful auction.

Though some may have left without buying an item, they acquired the coupon that Dylan distributed at the near end of the auction.They also found a businessman who has integrity and worthy of their trust due to the incident that happened for the auction of the last item.

” I will be sure to come by and buy from your store every now and then.”

”Through this auction, you have earned a fan, brother Dylan.”

”I will recommend your store to my friends, sir Dylan.”

”Hahahaha, if that is so, I would have to thank everybody for their support.” Dylan smiled as he received their cheers.

Dylan was also congratulated by the 19 Supersects that were present for this encounter. He assisted the sects one by one and even chatted with the, while escorting them.

”Well done, young lad. It has been nice doing business with you.” The exceedingly tall Vice Head Garet said to Dylan.

”Thank you for finding the time to come here, also, sir Garet.” Dylan replied respectfully.

”What an astounding auction that was. If I have the time, I will come by again.” Cobra said with a crisp smile.

”I would be honored to have you in one of our auctions once more.” Dylan articulated.

”I commend your for your bravery and ingenius you have showed, young friend. I was hoping to have a drink with you.” Nick Williams laughed heartily while being followed by his companions.

”I would not mind having a few drinks with sirm as well.” Dylan smiled.

”Do you wish to become my disciple, young lad? I find your intelligence and personality quite appealing to the eyes. I heard you also train in the Thundercloud Monarch Art. With my guidance, you will soar higher than any genius.” Romero Thunder directly offered with a laugh. He really liked Dylan after witnessing who he was and how he handles situations.

”I am very sorry, sir Romero. I am flattered that you have taken a liking to my personage but I have already accepted a master recently. It would be quite disrespectful to find another one immediately.” Dylan generously declined.

”Is that so? Well, I don't mind sharing a student with another person. But, if that is your choice, I will definitely respect it. But, if you wish, you can find me for some guidance in training the lightning arts. Just continue on your path and I am sure you will be a strong expert in the future.” Romero did not feel dejected despite being rejected,he even encouraged Dylan with his goals.

”Thank you very much, sir Romero.” Dylan gratefully thanked Romero for his encouragement. He found that Romero was a really nice person despite his appearance.

”You have performed splendidly, young one.” Partiro Vlad, the uncle of Veronica praised.

”Thank you for attending my humble event. I hope you enjoyed your stay.” Dylan answered courteously.

”As a matter of fact, I did. The food we ordered was unique and of high quality. The tea you serve is also to my liking.” Partiro had a favorable impression on Dylan after everything that has happened in this auction.

”Then, if sir finds the time to come by, I would gladly personally serve you the tea aforementioned.” Dylan smiled faintly.

”I would like that. Veronica, we're leaving.” Partiro remarked. He soared with a satisfied smile on his face.

”Yes, uncle.” Veronica answered. But before she left, she said to Dylan , ” Don't forget about the favor I owe you or I might forget it instead.”

”I will certainly keep that in mind.” Dylan spoke with a smile.

Dylan and his employees were tidying up the surroundings of the Soaring Garden Store. Having such a festive event, there was bound to be a lot of trash everywhere. After instructing and dividing the work, the cleaning up was done easily quickly and effeciciently.

Dylan went inside first to organize the serious deal of money he earned from the auction. He systematically organized the more than ten thousand spirit stones that he profitted with.

”What a bountiful profit.” Dylan said as he calculated that he currently has approximately twenty thousand spirit stones! With the auction' profit hitting nineteen thousand and the accomodation fees hitting several hundreds of spirit stones, Dylan earned a whole lot of money. Not to mention, the five thousand gold coins he got from the minor items and nearly ten thousand silver coins he earned from the toll!

”Hahahaha, with this, I just successfully defeated that Steph over three folds of his earnings! That said, all of this is just a little beyond than my expectations. I initially thought I would just earn about 15,000 to 16,000 spirit stones. To think, I would actually earn this much.”He was really happy how the auction turned out to be. It was really succesful overall.

”It seems like I have nothing to worry about anymore.” Azelmek moved closer to Dylan as he said.

”Do you mean about my business, master? It is still in it's budding stage but I believe I can move up to the Top 100 in two-three months.” Dylan replied thinking that what Azelmek said was about his business.

”Nope, not about that. I was worried about your lovelife. You are already 18 and you have yet to find a single wife! I was starting to think that you were gay. But it seems like it is because you are quite fickle to pick one of the Ten Fairues, the most beautiful women in Mystical Clouds. You are my disciple, indeed. It reminds me of my conquest for my first wife...” Azelmek rubbed his chin and laughed while he teased Dylan.

”What?!” Dylan was dumfounded by this topic. His master was actually referring to marriage.

In the Great Mystic World, polygamy is globally accepted except for extremely few countries that promotes monigamy in their culture. Polygyny and polyandry are both accepted in their culture as long as it is done in a legal manner. Stealing wives and adultery is looked down upon by its residents.

In their customs, a fifteen year old youth could already marry to his/her wife/husband. Bythe age of eighteen, a man or woman having two or three spouses are the norm.

Dylan, who came from Earth, was raised in a monogamous society. He had trouble accepting such traditions since he believed that marriage is a sacred union of two people birthed from consummate love and unwavering fidelity to one another.
