297 Evil Rises in the Air (2/2)

Li Wuchen clenched his fists. The veins in his eyes were blood red. He swallowed his fury after a long, difficult moment. Then, clenching his teeth, he charged out of the hotel. He glared at the enormous battle-axe, his breathing rapid.

Wang Baole, you want me to lower my head and negotiate with you? In your dreams!Li Wuchen snorted and left.

At present, Wang Baole was in his cruiser speeding towards the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, extremely pleased with himself. The Battle-axe Hotel was a great asset. The murderous air exuding from the battle-axe was something that surprised and delighted Wang Baole. He thought of how Li Wuchen had viewed him with disdain initially and how his look of condescension had morphed into one of rage. It cheered him up immensely.

Baldy Chen, you dare to fight with me? If you had lowered your head and submitted yourself before me, seeing how we come from the same college, I wouldn't have made trouble for you. But you choose to be stubborn. You can't blame me for what happens next!Wang Baole snorted. He returned to the academy in a good mood and began his enhancements of his Numinous Treasures.

Three days passed in a blur. In an attempt to prove himself, Xu Zhenjing personally supervised the production of the new axes. Ten spanking new battle-axes soon arrived, and all eleven enormous battle-axes were lined outside the hotel, radiating violence and ill intent. Their blades were brandished at the Fire Spirit Academy, and everyone in the academy was taken aback.

”My god, the Battle-axe Hotel owner has gone mad…”

”One battle-axe would have ended the vice dean's career. With eleven axes now, I think the vice dean's going to be slaughtered…”

”Does the owner of the hotel have some grudge against Dean Li?”

The commotion wasn't only stirred in Fire Spirit Academy. The few neighboring zones heard of what happened as well and were stunned. Many came to take a look, the crowd endless, and the Battle-axe Hotel saw a spike in business.

Many students from the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, the Fire Spirit Academy's competitor, also heard about this. They started discussing the matter furiously. All of them were excited about what was going on and couldn't stop talking about it.

The youth from the Trilunaris Corporation who had sold the hotel to Wang Baole was shocked. The hotel had been a recent gift from his father, so the administrative matters hadn't been managed by him. He had heard of the urban legend, but as a student, he hadn't paid it much attention. This was until he transferred ownership of the hotel and heard that Wang Baole had gotten someone to build ten more battle-axes. He suddenly realized how brave and extraordinary Wang Baole was.

”I heard it's because he holds a grudge against Dean Li of the Fire Spirit Academy…”

”He's trying to push him over the edge.”

Wang Baole's Dharmic Armament classes continued as excited discussions carried on amongst the student body. He was due to have the second lesson with his first class. When he arrived at the classroom, the students clearly looked more attentive.

Their attention wasn't on the knowledge Wang Baole was imparting though; they were simply drawn towards Wang Baole as a person of extreme interest.

There was another reason for their interest… the puppet that the youth from the Trilunaris Corporation had gotten had gained extreme fame throughout the campus during the past few days. It was largely due to the youth's love for bragging. No matter where he went, he would bring along the beautiful and well-endowed female puppet. The puppet was also extremely useful. It not only helped him with note taking, but it could also help him do his homework.

It was like a real person. It massaged his shoulders and back, and it followed him around and protected him; it took care of his every need.

The other students were green with envy. They longed to have one of their own. The starting price for the puppet was too high, however. They couldn't afford it despite how much they wanted one…

The youth from the Trilunaris Corporation who had gotten the puppet for the price of a hotel was extremely pleased. He felt that he had handled the matter extremely well and had been very clever.

Humph, everyone says I'm a prodigal son. They don't know I intentionally exchanged the puppet with a hotel and jacked up the price of the puppet. This means other people won't be able to afford it as easily. It'll make my puppet a limited edition, one that I can get it off my hands anytime because there'll be plenty of buyers. I believe Wang Baole would keep the price high as well and won't sell his puppets for cheap.

And that was indeed the case. After having gained a hotel for a puppet, Wang Baole naturally wouldn't sell his puppets at a lower price, nor did he have the chance to do so. A few other prodigal sons of the Trilunaris Corporation and the Five Generation Sky Clan approached him. Fiercely competitive and not lacking in money, they offered similar terms of exchange. Wang Baole managed to sell a few more puppets and soon had two hotels and three stores under his name on Mars…

He was completely blown away by the extent of their wealth.

The minds of rich people are beyond my comprehension. To think of the puppets I had wasted in the past. They're all money! But I'm here to govern, not to accumulate wealth… if I continue doing this, will the Colony Disciplinary Order come knocking on my door…
