174 Chapter 174: Problems Popping Up (1/2)

Somewhere in the East Region of the Thunder Clouds City, three large and luxuriously architectured building with each having a label of ”Fabulous Tailors”, stood erect. Thousands of people could be seen coming and out of the building and the employees numbered to thousands.

In the second to the top floor, a black haired man with a perfect oval face without a speck of facial was anxiously tapping his four fingers consecutively as he wore a frustrated expression on his face. This man had a beauty comparably to women and smooth skin that is as white as milk. He is Oliver Guess, the third elder of the Fabulous Tailors.

After several seconds of continued action, he suddenly stood up and threw a tantrum, ”Damn that Dylan Ford! If I find him, I am going to crush him to pieces! How dare he use a Soul Lock Contract to bind my disciple and make him his own servant?! Arrrgh!”

Oliver was able to find out about this matter because of Steph's precarious arrangements. Although Steph was very confident that he could win, with his meticulous personality, he still left an order to one of his servants to report to his master if he was to be defeated on his bet with Dylan.

To Steph's surprise, he actually lost to Dylan. He wanted to report it to his master about the details and demand his release from the bet. However, before he could, the Soul Lock Contract already took effect and created that Master-Servant imprint to his soul. Due to this, he discarded his thoughts of ever betraying Dylan and went to report his allegiance.

Per his disciple's arrangements, Oliver did recieve the message that Steph left. When he received it, he was thoroughly enraged and immediately summoned Steph's presence in front of him. His demeanor and personality was still the same which relieved Oliver. However, when Oliver brought up a plan that involved his freedom and betrayal to Dylan, Steph quickly became hostile and remained adamant to stay by Dylan's side which was a big blow to Oliver.

Oliver pushed all the blame to Dylan and really wanted to dispatch some assassins to kill him off ever since he recieved the message three days ago. But, he was still caught up with an important assignment that the sect head left to him so he could not make a move against Dylan for the past few days.

A middle aged man with a rather peculiar beardwho sat in front of him suddenly said, ”Calm down, third elder. It is not right for you to fight against a junior like Dylan Ford.”

”But my disciple is being manipulated by that evil brat, fourth elder! How can I remain calm knowing that my cold and aloof disciple is actually seen bowing to someone who is barely at the peak of Spirit Gathering?!” Oliver angrily replied.

The fourth elder answered with understanding, ”I am angered about this news as well. Nephew Stephen was not only an excellent Tailor, he was also a cultivation talent. That's why it is only right for him to be free of the clutches of the Dylan Ford. However, we must first prioritize the task given by the sect head. If we are able to complete this transaction, both of us might recieve a very handsome reward and our sect might even rise in the rankings again. After which, you can focus on killing that brat. Let him have his fun but when he lowers his guard, that's when you strike him! Then, you can torture the fool, however you want.”

”Fourth elder is indeed wise. My judgement has been clouded by my rage and I was not able to think correctly. I will follow your suggestion and focus on our transactions first. After two weeks, I will grind his business to dust and kill him along with everyone he values!” Oliver smiled sinisterly as he started to plot his revenge against Dylan and how he is going to take his disciple back.

Dylan was now alone because he ordered Steph to return to his establishment and continue the production of his clothes line. Currently, he was managing his documents and sorting out the papers that were piled up on his desk because of his absence. After thirty minutes, he finally finished all of his paper works.

Dylan laid back to stretch and looked at the old fashioned clock on the corner of his room. He sighed, ”8:20... Those four is already running late. I still have to go to Premier Hall at 9. Where are they? We were supposed to have a meeting on the joint establishment at 8. Hmm, might as well cultivate.”

Several minutes later, a knocking sound was heard on his door. Dylan who was cultivating quickly opened his eyes and responded, ”Who is it?”

”Sir Dylan. This is Ronald. The four sect heads are her to see you.” Ronald introduced and reported.

”Okay, let them come inside. Thank you for informing me.” Dylan thanked Roland before letting him leave.

”You're welcome, sir. I am going back to work now.” Roland quickly replied. He turned around and faced those four familiar faces and opened the door for them before leaving, ”Esteemed Sect Heads, this way please.”

As the door opened, the four Sect Heads quickly greeted Dylan. Okemos was the first to speak, ”Good day, Young Master Dylan. How have you been? Have you already recovered from your sickness?”

”I have. Thank you for your concern. Please, have a seat.” Dylan faintly smiled and hospitably offered seats.

”Thank you.” The four sect heads sat at the four chairs which were arranged in pairs in the left and the right with a table in the middle in front of Dylan's desk.

”We are sorry for being late. Arman had some trouble on his sect which affected the procurement of the lot we have decided fot out joint establishment. That was why we had to help him and got delayed but we were still unable to resolve the matter.” Yander Cooper revealed. After he said that, Arman Heinze of the Quadra Fang Sect shot him with a glare.

”Oh? What happened?” Dylan's expression suddenly changed when he heard that the reason why they were unable to arrive in time was because they were settling the matters of their business.

The lot they decided to get was a location with the perfect amount of exposure to be seen and was easily accessible to. Thus, it would considerably affect Dylan's plans if they are unable to get this lot.

”It's nothing to worry about, Young Master Dylan. It was just a fight of the juniors of my sect which somehow drew the attention of both parties elders. That's all.” With the secret exposed, Arman no longer hid the matter and told Dylan the general gist of what happened.

”Is this fight you are talking about somehow related to the Eagle Sect?” Dylan cruiously asked.

”How did you know?” Arman looked at him with shock.

”I was merely guessing. It is not a secret that your Quadra Fang Sect and Eagle Sect are at war with each other. I suppose this is still related to your son trying to ask the hand of the heir of Eagle Sect in marriage?” Dylan asked.
