Chapter 590: Chapter 526 Consecution “Bidder
As the smoke from localized warfare over the Aphotic Sea gradually dispersed, amidst the ruins, a new chapter was silently unfolding.
The “Cyart East Sea Trading Company” descended upon this war-torn land like a colossal beast.
Though ostensibly a company engaged in trade and reconstruction, it harbored ambitions and purposes unknown to others.
Representatives of the company, dressed in crisp clothes and shiny shoes, sat down alongside the Aphotic Sea Overlord.
The meeting table was adorned with exquisite tea sets and a map of the Lightless Sea Islands, which the company’s representatives seemed to view as a new world ripe for conquest.
“Hello, what we’ve come here to do is not to conduct business,” they said, “but to help you rebuild, to bring the various convenient technologies of the continent to you.”
“The conditions I’m about to discuss total over seventy in number, and the details are all laid out in these contracts. It should take around twenty hours for you to review them all; it’s not very complicated.”
Their fluent speech painted a grand blueprint for post-war reconstruction, promising advanced technology, capital, and employment opportunities, as if the “Cyart East Sea Trading Company” was the sole savior for the rebirth of this land.
However, behind these polished promises lurked a covetous greed for local resources.
For decades, the Cyart East Sea Trading Company had wantonly seized indigenous lands, mineral resources, forests, and even water sources across the Nine Seas. They acquired these at rock-bottom prices, or even without compensation, only to convert them into their own sources of wealth.
They built factories, mined minerals, and cut down forests, turning the local people into a labor force and consumers.
All decisions made by the company were secretly manipulated by a boss behind the scenes.
Like an invisible hand, this boss ensured that the company’s interests were maximized at all times.
From a distant city on the Ouden Continent, he tightly controlled every detail of this offshore land via a complex chain of power, using political influence, economic means, and even threats of violence to ensure that the local indigenous people and lords could not effectively resist, forced to watch helplessly as their homeland was gradually eroded.
This man was one of the eight of noble blood within the Dawn Church, Colin.
Without the strong support of the Dawn Church, even a merchant as cunning as Colin would not have possessed the ability to grow the Cyart East Sea Trading Company to such an extent.
Today, the Cyart East Sea Trading Company shone brightly, its influence far-reaching. It was not merely a commercial enterprise but had become a colossal entity that spanned borders and dipped its toes in various industries. Its scale was staggering.
It could be said that the yearly main income of the Fischer family and the Dawn Church came from taxes of four countries, in addition to the Cyart East Sea Trading Company.
“Do I have the right to refuse?” the great overlord asked with a furrowed brow.
“If you do, you’ll be unable to repay the various expenses that have arisen after renting forces from our friendly business, the ‘Mo’er Security Company.'” he said. “The debt has now been transferred, and this way of repayment is beneficial for both of us.”
The company representative leaned forward, whispering like a demon,
“Why not take a closer look at the contract? You will find that your core powers will not change. You are still the ‘king’ here, so why would you refuse?”
From bustling cities to remote rural areas, from the deep azure seas to the vast expanse of land, the reach of the Cyart East Sea Trading Company was everywhere.
With the help of the Dawn Church, its business empire spanned energy, manufacturing, finance, information technology, real estate, agriculture, mining, and services, covering nearly every corner and boldly becoming the world’s largest monopoly company. Undoubtedly, its real influence was much greater than that of Mo’er Security Company.
Moreover, should any foolish Extraordinary Exponent dare to raid the Cyart East Sea Trading Company, its affiliate, Mo’er Security Company, would intervene for free, according to the regulations, and crush the opposition completely.
Mo’er Security Company and Cyart East Sea Trading Company, both could be said to be extremely important organizations under the Dawn Church, and by now, they were indispensable to one another.
Of course, their greatest enemy overseas was none other than the Lorne citizens!
To date, eighty percent of the losses suffered by both companies were due to the Lorne Empire, because the Emperor of Lorne knew very well who their boss behind the scenes was.

In a hidden corner of a small city in the Southern Cyart Emerald Lake Province, there lay an extravagant private club known as the “Shadow Abyss.”
This was a labyrinth where power and wealth intertwined, a sanctuary for the elite at the pinnacle seeking refuge and indulgence.
Deep within the club, a door carved out of ebony wood with golden bas-reliefs slowly opened, revealing a soft and mysterious light.
A middle-aged man with a stern face and profound gaze, dressed in a tailored coat, entered the hall. He was the elusive legend who controlled the offshores from afar, the boss behind the scenes of the Cyart East Sea Trading Company—Colin.
Colin walked leisurely toward the center of the club, towards a special bar made of pure silver, adorned with an assortment of rare drinks.
With a slight wave of his hand, a waiter in a tailcoat immediately approached and prepared him a tailor-made cocktail.
Colin took a sip, seemingly savoring the complexity of flavors in the drink while pondering profound issues.
Because the act of “doing business” itself accelerated the mastery of the Power of Consecution, he had now successfully ascended to the 6th Rank on the Path of Contract.
The Bidder.
In the Spirit Realm, it was depicted as a young man with his hand raised high, his face filled with excitement.
The enhancement of physical fitness and Spiritual Power was in a ratio of one to nine.
