Chapter 160: Now do you understand?

Adam smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law gave me permission to make a deal with you. She will give the exclusivity to sell her products through your channels but she is the manufacturer" Adam pulled out a sheet and said: "These are the prices per garment, If you want to sell it for double I don't know but the market in this region dictates it and you can't influence that. Outside the region you can demand the price you want. This deal will last 5 years in which both parties will see if it is renewed or not".

Hammer nodded and said goodbye quickly. He no longer wanted to be near an Elemental power. Now all he would do is report this matter to his grandfather as quickly as possible.

His grandfather was among those who participated in the mission and would meet him at the border of the Alba Kingdom. In two weeks so he had no time to lose.

As for Adam, he only saw those people leaving. The Alba family reached out to them, now all that was left was for them to close the deal. According to Alexander, more than 10 experts could come to the mission, half step Elementary.

People who even if they wore a War Array would be a piece of cake. Besides that his wife went into seclusion to penetrate the Elemental Realm into the cultivation tower, Besides that the third generation of his family used the tower regularly making their strength grow by leaps and bounds.

Adam couldn't expect much from them, nor could he expect them to go into long seclusion after all they were still hyperactive youths. Making the only one to go into long-term seclusion the first princess. Elise Alba.

Elise was her first granddaughter and the eldest of the third generation of the Alba family but she was not gifted with natural talents which made her feel inferior to the others.

Even Taylor and Nathaniel despised her for her talent, which made her feel bad. Making her childhood difficult since that day, Elise has always been committed to training, wanting to outdo her siblings. Elise had no bad feelings for Alexander and his younger siblings.

But when they talked about Taylor and Nathaniel her expression became cold, Elise always wanted to go and fight with them but she was never given the chance.

Of all his grandchildren, the most hard-working were Alexander and Elise. While the others were more lazy but at least not arrogant and obedient.

The only grandson who had disappointed him was Nathaniel. In spite of his warning he did not leave the Sea Palace but declared that he no longer wanted the surname Alba.

Nathaniel Dunham took his mother's surname.

It was because of this lack of respect that he was expelled from the family and never showed any intention of apologizing or repenting.

So the Alba family erased him from their family tree as if he didn't exist. Besides that he was forbidden to enter the Capital.

That grandson of his praises the old lady of the Sea Palace as if she were his grandmother while he despises his biological family.

Adam would understand if we had killed his mother or something like extinguishing his mother's family but they didn't and that bastard grandson treated him like that.

That was incredible. At this point even Lewis was disappointed in this son, many said it was wise to ask forgiveness but his son's ego and arrogance did not allow him to bow his head to anyone even if they were his biological relatives.

So Lewis spoke to Joanna about the matter: "Joanna I hope you can make Nathaniel think again, what he did was very unwise remember that my last name is Alba!”

Joanna could only force a smile and say: "What can I do, I haven't had much communication with him in years".

Lewis looked bad and said: "First your marriage and now this, Joanna I'm sorry but I can't tolerate this, Even if he's angry with my parents, my parents didn't do anything against him, What he's doing is not justified and he messed with my last name".

What he said was true.

Lewis in the matter of marriage was unhappy to be ignored in this matter but he let it go because his son's girlfriend was the princess of the Snow Kingdom. Sharing the same state with his son. In other words, he couldn't get a better girlfriend for his son.

But he couldn't do anything against the expulsion of the family. Even if it were not for his attachment to Alexander his parents hated to be treated like air and more in such important matters as the marriage of their grandchildren and their partners.

Perhaps if their grandparents were still weak they would not dare to make this move but the fact was that they were no longer weak.

A weak person suffers in silence but someone strong can shout freely. So Lewis could not let go of this matter and also had a serious expression on his face.

Saying: "What Nathaniel is doing is only sealing his future, The Alba family will become stronger and stronger but when he understands his mistake it will be too late".

Joanna was surprised and said, "Why do you say this? I know your parents became very strong but it's not that big a deal, right?"

Lewis shook his head and said, "Do you know what Britt's strength is?"

Joanna frowned and remembered the lazy little girl, the eighth concubine's daughter, but finally shook her head.

Lewis sighed and said, "She's in the fourth level Gathering Qi."

This left Joanna speechless and she didn't know what to say. In the end she could only say: "Excuse me, can you repeat it?"

"She's in the fourth level Gathering Qi"

When he heard this, he knew his ears were working properly and said, "Who told you this?"

Lewis showed a smile of Self-loathing and said: "My father, a few days ago I was discussing things with him, Apparently he wants to open academies all over the Kingdom and imitate the model of the Royal Academy of the Sail Empire. At that moment I told him that when he was with the concubines he felt different than when he was with you".

Joanna showed Eagle eyes as no woman liked to be compared in bed. But Lewis pretended not to see it and said: "That's when he told me that everyone besides you and me is at Gathering Qi, Only we are at Body Refining Peak".

Joanna was so surprised that she was incredulous. A few years ago most concubines were much weaker than she was. But now they were much stronger than the present one.

But she couldn't help but get discouraged and ask, "Why did this happen?"

Lewis also looked sadly at himself taking a pill out of his pocket and said: "This is a pill refined by Alexander, It's called "Qi sensing Pill" I don't know how difficult it is but it shouldn't be simple, This pill allows people with low perception capacity to grasp the existence of Qi, in other words it nullifies the bottleneck between Body Refining and Gathering Qi, All concubines except you have eaten this pill. ”

Joanna's hands trembled and she said in a broken voice, "Is there such a miraculous pill?"

Lewis didn't answer and said, "Now do you understand?"

Chapter 159: In business there is no term "Friends" or "Enemies" there are only benefits

A characteristic symbol of the people who had entered the mortal Realms was that they could manifest their Qi outside their body and the simplest way was to make balls of pure energy.

There were many people who did not have combat techniques so they only used pure energy balls to fight.

With combat techniques, you can turn your Qi into Fire, Lightning, Water, Ice, Darkness, Light and even Poison. But they were rare and it takes time to activate them and they are much heavier for the body to use them.

So for speed or death battles, pure energy balls were the best and there were different ways to use them.

It was said that an energy ball of an elementary expert could amputate a limb of a Gathering Qi expert easily even beheaded would not be a problem.

And if an expert Spirit formed a ball of energy a small house could easily disappear.

It was said that a high-caliber expert could disappear an entire city with just one energy ball the size of a pinky. but no one knew if that was true.

So it was not uncommon for shadows to be afraid of Adam. For only one ball of energy could easily kill them all.

And when they heard Adam's presentation they couldn't help but get stiff.

The Alba family had an Elemental Expert!

This matter had to be reported immediately to the top management of his family. Otherwise, 14 half step experts will go to their deaths in a few days!

Right now any ill-intentioned idea towards Anna disappeared and a man immediately removed his mask and said: "I am Hammer Brook, Grandson of the second Elder of the family, One powerhouse half step Elemental".

Adam smiled and said: "You are trying to use your state to persuade me not to kill you, aren't you? Hahaha quiet I don't want your life, I want you to be my messenger" Adam pointed to a chair and said: "Sit down".

Hammer dared not disobey and sat obediently.

Adam continued: "Before my family wanted to exterminate your family but unexpected events happened that made us change the value of the Brook family before our eyes".

When Hammer heard the first part of what Adam said, he couldn't help but startle his heart, but after the last part, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Adam continued, "I want to enter your Alliance."

This surprised Hammer until he opened his eyes as wide as possible. The Alliance between the seven families has not yet been made public, and even if they do, the news would not reach a place like this.

So he involuntarily said, "How do you know?"

Adam smiled and relaxed and said: "My family has 4 experts half a step publicly that are rumors and your Brook family has five experts half a step, If we have a war, even if your family wins will suffer losses, Something that cannot be allowed and the only way to have absolute confidence in winning is by joining hands with others or am I wrong? Otherwise, they never sent that old man to my family's door."

This caused not only Hammer to swallow a breath of cold air but all the shadows beside him were equal. And they thought there was someone extremely astute in the Alba family!

Otherwise, they could not find any explanation for the matter.

Hammer recovered quickly and said: "But we are already enemies, how can we form an alliance?"

Adam showed an expression of disappointment and said: "Technically we are not enemies at least we are not mortal enemies, the only thing my family did was to kill an unimportant old man, as long as your family does not make noise for this everyone will forget the existence of that old man and his son. Also remember one thing in business there is no term "Friends" or "Enemies" there are only benefits and if your family can give me benefits they are my friends and if they harm my interests they are my enemies, are you really from a business family?”

Hearing those words hammer could not avoid hitting the face and place it on his forehead.

I had forgotten one of the rules in business: friends and enemies are relative.

So hammer felt much more comfortable and said, "How do you want to cooperate?"

Adam sighed and said, "There are two things I want to cooperate with your Alliance on: The first is medicines."

"Medicines?"

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, my family is collaborating with a very capable alchemist who can make high-grade and high-grade medications for martial artists.

He opened a drawer and took out two small jars of green liquid. And Adam went on to say, "This is a high-grade Body Refining potion and the other is higher-grade, my family can produce many of these potions but they don't have a channel to distribute them, you can take them to show your Elders".

Hammer examined the potions before passing them on to a masked man. On the outside he seemed calm but on the inside he was agitated. He never thought that the Alba family would have this quality of potions but if they could be made on a large scale they could bring many benefits.

He did not have the authority to decide anything and would only be a messenger. So quantities and prices would have to be agreed upon by someone from his grandfather's estate.

And now he could only ask: "And what is the second matter?"

Adam smiled and said: "My family has a great number of horses that are wild beasts and I would like to find a channel to sell them, I don't care if it is to Alliance people, noble families or even the army from other regions but I want to sell them".

Hammer frowned and thought slightly. Normally the horses were common animals that could only go as long as 10 miles before they got tired, something useless that will only serve to move within the cities.

But if they were wild beasts, it changed things. For these beasts it was not difficult to travel hundreds or thousands of miles in a day.

There were races of horses that were wild beasts but were very rare and without speaking faces. So much so that the current Brook family could not afford to buy one.

The Brook family did not lack wild beasts to pull their trading carts but they were not horses but substitutes for other races such as wolves, lions, rhinoceroses or any quadruped animal.

If the Alba family had these horses, they would undoubtedly be accepted in the market and devoured by several of the family's clients and even by the Brook family.

Hammer saw Adam with deep eyes because if the Brook family could do this business the Alba family would become a very rich family but could not help but ask: "What about Miss Anna's clothes? She will also need a distribution channel".

Chapter 158: Shadow friend

In these three months, many things had changed in the region.

But the most important thing was an event that happened two months ago when the Grey Clan broke off diplomatic relations with the Sea Palace and the James Clan through an official communiqué in which it harshly criticized the interference of those two powers in the marriage of two families among other things.

Not long after, the Iron Fortress and the Royal Academy did the same by harshly criticizing the Sea Palace and James Clan. For many people that meant only one thing: These people were looking to please the Alba family.

And they did it because a few days later the Alba family issued a statement saying that they would be happy to collaborate meaningfully with them commercially.

In other words, the Alba family was ready to compensate them.

Without waiting any longer. Two weeks later the Supreme Elders arrived in Ciudad Real o discuss the cooperation that remained in the following.

The Alba family would give them a special purchase price:

1 gold coin in exchange for a High-Grade Body Refining potion.

10 gold coins in exchange for a Body Refining Potion of higher Grade.

Until they liquidate the fifteen million that the Alba family will give him, After this the prices would double if the powers wanted to continue buying potions from the family.

The powers asked for 70% in potions of high superior and 30% High degree.

This was more than a million higher grade potions! and 4.5 million High-Grade potions.

As for transportation, they would be in charge of it. The family didn't want to be blamed if the supplies didn't arrive, so they were clear. After leaving Royal City it was not the Alba family's problem if they reached their destination.

The powers didn't know where they got the potions from but the Alba family told them they could pay off the debt according to their transportation capabilities. The family would give them 100,000 potions of a higher grade per month and 100,000 of a higher grade.

Only in this way the powers sighed and could forget the losses of before. Besides, there was another intention in doing this.

Let their own alchemists improve.

It was no secret that each power has its own alchemists but if you compare the number of Alchemists with the number of common disciples it was too overwhelming so these alchemists in order to meet the monthly supply will have to work hard and leave you little time to train your skills, let alone improve them.

Now with the full supply for a few years, the alchemists would have a sigh with which they could stay in power to train their skills, Go to the northern states where Alchemy was most flourishing or even recruit talents in Alchemy to train them patiently.

All this without worrying that the power lacks medicines. At the end of a few years, the level of alchemy would rise or even have relations with alchemical powers of the northern states without interrupting their development.

These supplies would last 10 years at most and 15 if they are stretched but these powers intend to buy for 25 years the medicines of the Alba family.

Hoping that their own Alchemy will improve and the accumulation of spiritual herbs in their gardens.

Many of them were thinking about how to earn money for the purchase of medicines after the "Free" medicines ran out.

So they decided to boost their countries' economies by investing in roads and business education in the hope that new traders will be born in the region that will attract wealth.

In fact, the Royal Sail family and the other two powers made gigantic investments buying different properties and land for agrarian production, hiring peasants for the work.

They needed to generate enough cash flow to buy the necessary amount of medicine without depending on their alchemists for a while. At this point, he really hated not being able to issue his own Gold. The only thing closer they could do was mine jewelry and minerals in exchange for continental currencies.

Gold mines were in piles on the continent but no one dared to issue a coin with that Gold. Because those who tried were exterminated by the central bank of the continent.

The only coin issuer on the continent. Nobody knew why, but this bank was the entity that regulated two things.

The number of coins issued per month and the number of spiritual stones mined per month.

If a power found a mine of spiritual stones no matter the degree they would have the mining rights to it but would have to report it to the central bank to know how many coins it could issue.

So the central bank would have to give a stable price for the exchange of gold for spiritual stones.

Many people hated that system but it was the system that the strong had decided to control the weak.

-----------------

Soon the shadows came to Anna's office and they saw a person working but this was not a woman, but a relaxed middle-aged man reading a few documents.

When he saw the shadows, the man looked up and said calmly, "Are the men of the Brook family?"

The shadows were surprised but the man left them no time to talk: "You are here because Ana killed that shitty old man with his son, didn't you? I have to admit that the Brook family has someone ready in their ranks, i.e. sacrifice a useless person for the sake of the family's interests, not bad at all."

Hearing this, the eyes of one of the shadows contracted. For he had not thought that his plans were seen in such a simple way.

So he involuntarily said, "Did you know?"

The man nodded and said, "If you think about it, it's not hard to find out.”

Hearing this, the shadow could not comprehend it: "But then why did they fall into the trap?"

The man showed a smile and said: "Trap? That for me was not a trap but an opportunity".

The shadow became even more confused and couldn't understand him so the middle-aged man leaned back on the chair and said, "Do you want to see a trick that will leave you speechless?"

So the middle-aged man without waiting for the answer from the other side raised his hand making his hand shine until after a short time a perfect white sphere was formed.

But when the shadows saw that white sphere they could not prevent their faces from turning pale wanting to run from this office but their legs did not respond and one of them said, 'If you can form a sphere of energy it can only mean one thing, you are an Elemental Realm expert!”

The middle-aged man smiled and made his energy sphere disappear and said, 'Right my shadow friend, oh I almost forgot I didn't introduce myself, I am Adam Alba the old King of the Alba Kingdom and Anna's father-in-law, for now, I am in charge of the security of your business, and you what are you called?”

Chapter 157: You can only blame your weakness

Among all his brothers, the only one who hated Nathaniel never put his family in his eyes. He always did things as if he and for his mother didn't exist, a proof of this was his marriage to his cousin.

Even if these two were in love, it would have to be difficult to make a commitment, because this type of marriage affects the politics between the two countries.

Since it was the cousin of another prince making it affect the way to the throne of that prince. If things had been done the right way, the queen (His aunt) would oppose this marriage but it was all for The James Clan and The Sea Palace.

If Alexander were not had not reincarnated, the future for that Alexander would have been very black and without talking about the future of his mother. Because even if his grandparents supported Alexander, The Sea Palace and The James Clan would put pressure to crown his brother as King.

Alexander was tired of being meddled in his family's affairs and more than being treated like air. So he would make that two powers repent of their actions no matter if those two love each other.

That damn bitch cousin of hers turned her back on him even though it was her blood and helping his brother in the future. This would make him have a tragic life in the future knowing Nathaniel's personality, in the worst case he would end up dead and in the best case he would end up in exile.

So Alexander's hatred was justified against Nathaniel and his cousin. Those idiots for their stupid love had sealed Alexander's future!

The only thing Alexander was thankful for was that he had taken this body from birth and not at an advanced age.

Just thinking about it Alexander became more and angrier. If he took this body in his adolescence he would be in a pitiful state and with weak strength, perhaps not even in the fifth level Body refining. For before the bone marrow wash his innate talent was worse than garbage and that Alexander would have no way to improve his talent even if he wanted to.

Alexander would make them suffer and the people who would have a pitiful future will be them and not him.

With this in mind, he left the Alba Kingdom in his Elemental Half Step Falcon with his mother, Helena, and Audrey.

His mother left his three housekeepers in charge of their business and if Alexander had told them that people from the Brook family might come to cause trouble but had already warned his grandfather of this matter.

Now he had more important things to deal with than a business family. Now it would take him about three months to arrive at the Uri Republic. So he had a long way to go.

Alexander at the time had several reasons to go to mortal countries.

The first was to make wealth for the family.

The second was to obtain spiritual stones.

And the third was to get medicinal ingredients and Array flags impossible to get in the region's market.

As to why it went to the mortal countries and not to the northern states. The answer was simple. The guilds.

The guilds made life easier and made money much easier, having an internal market in which alchemists or any profession could sell their pills, the only bad thing is that they are 10% more expensive than elsewhere because they ensure the authenticity of the pills.

If you bought a pill in the alchemist's guild you were assured that it was authentic. and not only pills could also buy medicinal ingredients but this was only available to guild members and no money was used but guild points.

The only way to earn these points was to sell their pills through the guild or buy them with money but for a colossus like the guilds that had branches all over the continent could get you what you wanted as long as they had it, in fact for an extra cost they could even take it to your location.

Similar cases happened with the other guilds. Because they have similar systems.

This was very beneficial for many people but it also made guilds untouchable powers that no one wanted to offend, Because if someone offends one of these giants, he may not be able to advance the rest of his life.

Fortunately, it was not so easy to offend such a big power as this one, Since all power had internal conflicts and even if it offended a branch boss that branch boss may not get along with another branch boss.

In the world, it was impossible to please everyone, much less not have enemies. Because in a moment of life by the clash of interests you may have to offend someone.

That is to say if your interests harm mine interests. Should I let you get it?

Under this idea, there are always disputes between people, powers, clans and even countries. A Clan or Country fights for its interests and not for yours. If you get them you will have to fight for them.

Because of this as long as one does not kill someone important within the guilds one will be fine. Because in addition to guilds there were other smaller powers that sell ingredients and pills outside the guild.

But compared to the guild catalog of guilds these powers are much smaller.

Alexander did not know what the breadth of the guilds was but he thought that they were definitely powers that not even the powers of holy ground dare to offend easily. Except for his present self.

And so the three months of travel finally passed.

But in the region waves were rising and more than 12 shadows quickly approached Anna's building and one of them said: "Everything is going according to plan, By this time the tournament in this region should be over and everything is back to normal, We must go into that woman's office and demand compensation for killing the Fifth Elder and his son. Otherwise, we will kill her family in a week!"

But at that moment the other shadow said: "Why don't we kill them and steal their artifacts, is it necessary to do all this?"

"Hmph, what do you know? We're just an outpost, the real experts will be here in a week if they don't comply with our requests. Those experts will kill them!"

"But we're sure we can win, I've heard that the Alba family has 2 experts half a step!"

But soon a shadow proudly said: "Maybe you don't know, but the family made an alliance with 6 other commercial families, Forming the largest trade network within 40 regions, Now each of them will send two experts half step to deal with the Alba family!”

The man showed a malicious smile and said: "Even if all the experts join half a step from the region to stop us it would be useless, luckily the first Elder passed through this region to learn these miraculous clothes! while the family has this method it will not be impossible to have many benefits, they can only blame themselves for being weak.”

Chapter 156: Grand Array

The next day in the Royal Palace of Alba, an eleven-year-old boy was sitting next to an Elder and a middle-aged Man, These were the grandparents.

His grandfather yesterday was carried away by anger and his plans were abruptly terminated by Adam.

Adam only looked angry and did not repent, The Martial City had gone too far with its attitude towards the Alba family. They did not offend them in any way but chose to be on the side of the Sea Palace like the James Clan.

Now they were furious and everyone was silent until Alexander spoke: "Grandpa, you did well, you don't have to worry about anything, now that the Martial City offended us we don't owe them anything anymore".

From his perspective his grandfather did well, The Alba family could not take that humiliation from the Martial City.

Alexander assumed that Martial City did not want a scandal in his city. The two enemies of the Alba Family met in the City, and with the hatred that the Sea Palace had against the Alba family for or their mother was not small, making these two powers like water and fire.

Besides that it was no secret that the James Clan was very close to the sea palace and this was demonstrated by its stance of silence against the Alba family, and it was time to change. It was time for him to announce his stance on the disputes of his neighbors.

Beth knew her grandson wouldn't blame her husband for this, and she just said, "Now what do we do?"

Alexander showed a cold expression and said, "We have to isolate the Sea Palace so that they can't get up. We have to teach people that making enemies of the Alba family was the dumbest thing they could do in their lives.

Adam frowned and said, "But how do we do that?"

Alexander smiled and said: "We will organize a great annual tournament to Show our Wealth, Everyone will be able to participate except for people from Sea Palace, Martial City, and The James Clan".

"What?!" At such an idea they were surprised, Organizing tournaments was expensive and I had never thought of anything like that. They can only ask: "How are we going to pay for it? According to what I heard the Martial City stadium cost more than 90 million Gold! We can't afford anything like that! ”

Alexander sighed and said: "Desperate circumstances, desperate measures. I have a method with which you can make a lot of money in a short period of time but I will have to go to a deadly country. Tomorrow I will depart in a Falcon with my Mother and Audrey for the Uri Republic".

His grandparents, after some thought, smiled and nodded.

In addition, Alexander saved a map of the Kingdom that had a lot of red dots on them, One even close to the capital where they were Currently and said: "These are the places where the Alba Academy and its Branches will be built".

Beth saw the map and said, "Why these specific locations?"

Alexander smiled and said: "You know sometimes things must have two or three uses, The Alba Kingdom may be small but it still has a huge population and the Villages are countless, It has more than 10,000 small towns. 2000 Medium Cities and 18 Big Cities, In addition to Royal City”.

"Only the level of martial artists is too small. In the Villages is rare that even appears a Level one Body refining, Before even the greatest experts of this City were eighth or ninth level Body Refining, you know why?”

Adam and Beth already knew where things were going, Since Alexander had mentioned them before and forced a smile saying: "Because our climate is too bad to give birth to treasures and rare herbs.”

Alexander smiled and said: "You know in the interior of the continent there are family clans that have enough members to be able to fill cities, they could even form a small country perhaps not the magnitude of the Alba Kingdom but one could say that they would have their internal economy and exile without the need to depend on the outside".

Adam and Beth were surprised at such a statement and could not come to think that a single family could have so many offspring Since normally a family did not last more than 7 generations before it began to disappear or distance itself as a distant family. And Alexander did not bother to explain: "So these families have Great Arrays that can cover great distances, These Academies are these places because in the future a Grand Array gathering Qi can be configured to improve the density of Qi in the Kingdom".

"Is this possible?"

Alexander nodded and said, "It's possible, But for my current not, I'd have to get to Profound Realm Before I did, Since those Arrays are at least three-star Arrays."

This was a good surprise for Adam and Beth, they could not believe that there were such miraculous methods that went against nature.

But they knew too early to be happy because first Alexander would have to go into Deep Realm which was hundreds of folds to go into the Elemental Realm.

So it was not sure if Alexander would enter this Royal even if he had talent so they stopped talking about it but knew that if they achieve this goal, there will be a Before and After that day for the Kingdom.

So Alexander resolved other minor issues with his grandparents before leaving, He warned his grandparents about the Brook family issue, Now there was a year and a half left for the Hundred Regions tournament so their tournament can not be for these years, In addition they must raise enough money to be able to afford the expenses.

So they decided to do the tournament Four years later.

This would give a correct lapse between the First and Second Ascendancy tournament.

But Alexander smiled in his mind, In four years the Alba family would not be the same as Today, not to mention their wealth.

So Alexander said goodbye to his grandparents but Beth wanted to talk to them about one thing: "Alexander, it's okay to give Lewis a Qi sensing Pill".

Alexander reflected on the subject and said: "All right, but remember that the Alba family does not need him and that he is the one who needs the family. If my second brother comes to demand what is 'his' one day, he better not take the wrong side".

Without saying anything else, he left as he left his grandparents sighing. They knew that in the future there could be conflicts between their grandchildren but what could they do?

Alexander was a good person but not a magnanimous one, while Nathaniel was a closed-minded person since childhood, always thinking that since Taylor left he was the greatest talent in the family. Without putting anyone in front of his eyes.

Alexander would not bother to create problems for Nathaniel but if Nathaniel knocked on the door to create problems for Alexander, Alexander would certainly hire without hesitation and without pity.

As for Alexander, because he did not pay attention to Nathaniel, he always replied the same thing: "That idiot does not deserve my time, even if he allies with half the region to defeat me, his result will be the same; Death.”

Chapter 155: Old King's warning

The bad-tempered family climbed back up on the hawks and they quickly ascended into the sky, Adam saw with anger the panorama of the Martial City and shouted: "TO EVERY CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM ALBA, YOU HAVE TWO MONTHS TO LEAVE THE MARTIAL CITY, THE JAMES CLAN OR THE SEA PALACE, OTHERWISE I WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY, I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE PLEBEIAN, NOBLE OR MILITARY, IF YOU DON'T COME BACK IN TWO MONTHS, SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FAMILY, THAT INCLUDES YOU NATHANIEL, BESIDES THIS DECREED THAT ANY OLD MAN OR DISCIPLE OF THE MARTIAL CITY, CLAN JAMES OR PALACE IS FORBIDDEN TO STEP ON MY ROYAL CITY, IF ONE OF THOSE POWERS IS DISCOVERED, IT WILL BE EXECUTED WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS, YOU ARE WARNED".

This message shocked everyone who was in the Martial City and those who knew the old king knew one thing, this time he is angry.

Normally Adam was a kind and compassionate king, of all the countries in the Region, the Alba Kingdom is considered the best country to live in if you consider yourself a common person, since its king was a good king, there were low taxes and the land was very fertile so there were no famines.

He would never threaten anything as low as hostages so it could only mean one thing, this time these three powers angered the Alba royal family and wanted to demonstrate their authority at any cost. In addition to giving a message: "What does it matter if you joined a foreign power, you are still my vassal?

This also meant something else and to say that I was not afraid of the three previous powers. If they did not do the will of the royal family then they would really kill them.

Now they would just wait and gather information from all the people who have joined those powers in the last few years and if they don't come back they accuse their family of Treason.

So without waiting many people both young and old began to leave the Martial City, The tournament had already been cancelled and their families were in the Dawn Kingdom. There were even some disciples who began to pack their things and leave the city. The trip would take them two months, so if they did not leave Martial City today they would not arrive in time to save their families.

So they quickly returned their tokens and left the martial city, many people now realized that the number of people who came from the Alba Kingdom were many.

The people who were in the James Clan could arrive on time once they found out about this but those at the Sea Palace, to arrive on time, would have to run day and night if they wanted to get to the Alba Kingdom before the deadline.

For no one thought that the old King was lying and would not kill their families.

Right now the Alba family hated those three powers to the core and will no doubt awaken a war if those powers dare to raise their voices. With the force exhibited by the old king, no one doubted that he was in the elemental half step, and if we add the strength of his wife.

That alone made them terrible without counting the demonic talent of the family, Alexander Alba.

If a year ago he could kill a ninth level Qi gathering with a fifth level force, If the third prince reached the half step he would be invincible in the Region, so it was only a matter of time before the Alba family overtook the Royal Academy as the highest power in the region.

Because of those idiots they cancelled the tournament and made the powers lose a valuable opportunity to keep Sea Palace and the James clan happy.

There was one power that was very angry and that was the Grey Clan. Because of the ineptitude of the Martial City they had lost everything and left their genius without a chance to train in the Northern states.

So that same day, Sig Grey, the supreme Elder of the Grey Clan went to talk to Freddy. To know how the martial city will compensate them.

Freddy could only put a forced smile on his face and say to Sig: "Why don't you go to the Alba family to ask for this, it was all his fault".

Sig only saw Freddy angry and said coldly: "His fault?, Because of your guilt and foolishness that none of us approached the Alba family all out of respect for the powers he already offended, all for unity and the Alliance to be able to develop us, Now my Clan Grey has no good relationship with them because of you, if I go there to demand things it wouldn't be weird if the old King beat me up, That old man is stronger than me!

Freddy was surprised and said, "How do you know he's stronger than you if you haven't fought him?"

Sig just said: "you're an idiot, I can't believe I saw you as an equal, didn't you see how the delegate treated Adam?, That man was a half step Elementary peak and yet he was on the low side starting the conversation, plus he had a fucking Elementary opening pill!"

"Apparently the resources the Alba family has far outnumber ours, I wouldn't be surprised if that Old Alba advances to Realm Elementary in a few years."

This surprised Freddy and did not think that Si was seeing from afar but did not dare intervene, Because of the delegate.

In addition the declaration was very serious for Freddy since if the Kingdom Alba had an Elemental Expert its force would be shot to another level without speaking that the resources that it would have available would be many greater.

So making enemies of this family was the dumbest thing they could do, Now Freddy was worried.

But the worst thing was what Sig told him afterwards: "My Clan Grey will Leave the Alliance".

"What, you can't do this! If we don't have an Alliance, how can we develop in peace?"

But Sig laughed coldly and said: "You think your Alliance is as solid as before, the James Clan and the sea palace are enemies of the Alba family, to be in the Alliance means to be on the side of those two. Now the Alba family promised benefits to the Royal Academy and the iron fortress but do you think the Alba family will compensate them if they remain in the Alliance? The answer is No, if they want something they must first publicly announce their side. No one of you three can compensate you for our losses but the Alba family can. Now I wouldn't be surprised if the James Clan and the Sea Palace are trying to persuade others not to be on the side of the Alba family, but to be compensated you would have to give more than 45 million Gold, Something impossible for you, Only an idiot would believe your empty promises".

Freddy was silent and shortly after said: "Then the Grey clan seeks compensation from the Alba family through high-grade potions for their disciples".

Sig nodded and said: "It's the best, If we can get a large number of high-grade or higher-grade potions from the Alba family no doubt the quality of my Clan's disciples will increase, The Alba family said they will give 30 million in medications to each one, while my Clan Grey publicly contends the Alba Family it would not be strange not to be offered the same treatment".

Freddy could only sigh and nodded in his heart. In this region, there were not many capable alchemists and rarely high-grade medications could be seen but a few years ago the Alba family traded them for the head of the Sea Palace Elders. In fact, those rewards are still in force but due to the Alliance that had the powers of the region, none did anything no matter how greedy they were.

Now it seemed that the Alliance was about to break up and two factions were to be formed, The Martial City, James Clan and Sea Palace, while in the other would be the Alba family, Royal Academy, Iron Fortress and Grey Clan.

Sig left and Freddy could only sigh, thinking, "I just hope I don't choose the losing faction."

Chapter 154: CANCELLED

Soon Naethel came to the city wall only to see a large hole in it and on the other side the Elder who had sent to send people away but in return was badly wounded barely breathing.

This angered him and he coldly saw Adam: "How dare you hurt one..."

"BOOOOOOOM"

Without being able to finish speaking Adam appeared in front of him and hit him in the stomach sending him flying and destroying the interior of the city.

After that without speaking he saw with murderous intent the Great Elders and upon seeing this Alexander was happy and said to his little fifth sister: "Cover your eyes".

Britt didn't know why and before she could respond her mother brought her in and kindly covered her eyes, Apparently his father-in-law was going to kill those elders.

In the meantime Lewis could only put on a solemn face and remembered that if he was not the son of that old man as much as possible he was already dead and saw Joanna with significant eyes.

Meanwhile Liese was playing with the Falcons and did not pay attention to her grandfather's fight. Evy, Elise and the others were watching the fight indifferently, from their point of view those elders sought his death.

Seriously they thought their grandfather was weak enough to be suppressed by so few people on the ninth level, After all it was no secret to them that he had passed through the Elemental Realm!

The only ones who were a bit frightened were Guy and Jakys as they had never seen a death.

Soon Adam began indiscriminately killing the elders by turning the street red. He was too fast and efficient killing so much that he surprised Alexander.

And his grandmother when she saw Alexander's press laughed and said: "Your grandfather is not an inexperienced man, when we were young we travelled across the continent until we got here and the people he killed on the way are not few".

So Adam was like a wolf in a henhouse, When he went through the old man number fifteen a penetrating voice sounded: "Please stop! ”

Soon out of nowhere came a skeletal Elder in the uniform of the Martial City, This Elder was the supreme Elder of the Martial City, Freddy.

In his eyes there was no anger so the Alba family, he could only see with anger the Great Elders, Seriously they thought that twenty people like them could with a power half step?

Even if it is a half step, it is a world of difference.

More to that stupid Naethel, Even if he wants to take the side of already established powers, he can't be so foolish as to think that an ascending power that has two half step powers is weak, Even if he fought against that couple of elders he doubted he could win, much less twenty people in the ninth level gathering Qi.

If his son were not his direct disciple, After today he would have expelled him from Martial City.

"Ahhh Mr. Alba please stop and face this old man, I made sure that the Alba family has the best residences in the Martial City."

Adam stopped while the five elders quickly fled and said coldly: "You must be the supreme elder of this city now I want to ask you a question, My family and your city have no hatred of each other, In fact when a disciple of your City comes to our Royal City it is always received with great hospitality but now I find out that our family is not well received in your City, is this perhaps a declaration of War?

"When my family arrived, none of your Elders were there to receive my family."

"We only come to see the tournament but apparently we are not welcome in your City, I demand an explanation to the contrary, My family will be enemy of City until one is extinguished and declare that if a Disciple of your martial City steps on my Royal City is executed without asking, In fact I will make all disciples who have their families in my Kingdom withdraw from your city or otherwise I will kill their families!

"This..." This left Freddy in a difficult position because if he did not respond, this was the same as letting the Alba family be his enemy but if I gave the explanation to the Alba family I would be offending the Sea Palace and the James Clan.

Now I didn't know how to respond and it took a few seconds until I heard Adam's voice again: "Well very well, Your silence is very good, You know sometimes they say that silence says more than a thousand words, Since you chose them, I hope you don't regret it".

He turned his head to see Krasic and said, "Brother Krasic, would you agree to cancel this tournament in exchange for a transcendent grade Elementary opening pill?"

"What?!" Upon hearing that, Krasic was incredulous and his beats began to accelerate, because if what Adam said was true, with a pill of that grade is a monkey could make way for the Elemental Realm and as the other part was in the Elemental Realm certainly would not lie to him.

If I had that pill I could elevate its state and turn the Prim state into a deadly Fifth Grade Country!

While Freddy was incredulous and confused by Adam's words. Apparently the Alba family is not simple.

Now he could only repent and hate Nathael. He only hoped that the Alba family would not be so hard on their vengeance.

Krasic smiled and said, "If you give me that pill, I will definitely cancel the tournament and go! ”

What a joke this was, If I returned to the state as an Elementary Expert, I would certainly not be punished for this, After all even if the contestants from this region will participate in the northern states tournament, That the winner this among these contestants was very small.

Upon hearing this Freddy became nervous and wanted to dialogue: "Mr. Delegate..."

"Shut up" but it was quickly cut by Krasic. and Adam pretended to take something out of his pocket but actually took it out of his space ring and gave a bottle with a white pill to Krasic.

Krasic smiled and quickly examined it, confirming the quality of the pill he shouted: "UNDER THE AUTHORITY GIVEN BY THE ETERNAL RADIANCE PABELLON, I KRASIC DECLARED THIS TOURNAMENT AS CANCELLED,

This made everyone's expressions change and Krasic relaxed said goodbye to the Alba family and left.

Adam soon saw the two delegates and said to them: "I know your powers lost great things today, but my family has never lost a friend, Maybe my family doesn't have much gold but has many potions to fill a lake, You can send a delegate to Ciudad Real Alba and the Alba family will give you twice what you lost today, You have my word. Goodbye.

At least this time they would win a great Ally and double what they invested in the stadium made for the tournament.

The only one who had an ugly expression on his face was Freddy, this time the Martial City had lost too much, 15 Great Elders, 15 million Gold in a stadium that would not be used and finally had won a powerful enemy.

He could only see with anger towards the stupid lord of the City, This imbecile decided to pamper the wrong side.

Starting today will begin the difficult days for the Martial City. A good example of this was the Sea Palace.

Chapter 153: Is this a declaration of war?

Meanwhile, among the people of the Alba family, there was an angry person, This was Alexander.

The commotion of the hawks should be enough to make the high officials of the city be shocked and send people to see who was the guest mounted but there was no one and the best proof of this was that the delegate from the northern states was present.

Otherwise why he would be here alone?

Those bastards when they went to the Royal City were always received by the King even if they were internal disciples but those bastards did not even send an ordinary Elder from the city to receive them.

This could only mean one thing, They had chosen to put themselves favorably on the side of the Sea Palace. In fact he was not the only one angry, his grandmother also had a furious look after all the Alba family had always treated the citizens of the Martial City well.

This lack of hospitality had angered her. If it was the former Alba family she would not care but now they were equal to or stronger than the martial city, they deserved equal respect.

Now the Martial City had disappointed them.

"shhhh"

But soon the sound of the wind was heard and two people appeared out of nowhere.

They were four Elders, Two of them had the black and red uniform of the Iron Fortress, while the other two had a white uniform that had the word "Royal".

These were the delegates of the Royal Academy and the Iron Fortress.

Seeing them present Alexander's eyes shone and he thought revenge. This deal could not go unpunished.

He knew why the iron fortress delegates were present after all his mother was the provider of uniforms for them and that was publicly known. If he pissed off his mother they would not have another uniform supplier in millions of miles. So they were very polite to her.

As for the Sail family, she did not know but assumed that among the six powers only they were a ruling family so now with the arrival of another ruling family they would have a good ally. Also with this movement could be seen that they did not have a good relationship with the two powers that offends the Alba family.

After all their kingdoms were very far from each other so their interests almost never clashed with each other.

So both powers, unlike the martial city, wanted to have good relations with the Alba family.

Both delegates spoke very politely to their mother and grandparents as they escorted them to the entrance of the Martial City.

But just as they were about to enter a Martial City Elder with a Ninth level crop Gathering Qi appeared at the door.

When he saw the Alba family wanting to enter the City he quickly stopped them and said: "Excuse me, dear guests, but our city has no room for these dear guests so I will ask you to leave...".

But as soon as he said those words he felt a slap in the face sending him flying.

"BOOOM"

So his body crashed into the wall as soon as he breathed, only "Ahh" could be heard from the old man.

Soon everyone realized who had done this and it was the old King of the Alba family!

Adam Alba!

The old king of the Alba Kingdom had sent a Great Ancient of the Martial City to fly with only one slap.

Krasic smiled and the two delegates could not help but be surprised and satisfied, apparently, their high command was not mistaken.

Right now Adam was furious, The Alba family had always treated the Martial City courteously but that was how they were paid?

Did they think they were so easy to harass?

A few days ago he felt bad about stealing the tower of the martial city but now those sons of bitches no longer deserved such a good treasure.

So Adam cried out furiously, "IS YOUR MARTIAL CITY DECLARING THE WAR TO MY FAMILY OR WHAT? I DEMAND THE SUPREME FUCKING ELDER COME OR ELSE I'LL FLATTEN THIS FUCKING CITY."

With that scream, the earth rumbled and was heard throughout the City as Adam used a skill characteristic of a person who was in the Elemental or higher half step.

"The projection of Qi"

This worked by infusing qi into the sound waves produced by the person and in doing so the voice could sound miles away or even more depend on the person's culture.

So now everyone was focused on the entrance of the city, Apparently, the martial city had offended an elemental half step power.

On another side of the city, Ethel had a horrible face. He never thought that the Alba family would be so dominant. He had only asked them to leave, he didn't have to make so much noise about it.

These days it was important and he could not let a battle happen between the sea palace, the James clan, and the Alba family.

This would be disastrous for the Martial City and if it had to offend one party it would prefer to offend a new, weaker power among all the powers in the region.

The Alba family would be in the background, even if they were in the same classification as the six old powers. After all, the other powers had thousands of disciples and a foundation of more than a thousand years. in return, the Alba family had only less than a century of its foundation.

Among the six powers the first was the Royal Academy, followed by the Grey Clan after that was the Sea Palace but because of their losses in recent years fell to fourth, Leaving the martial city in third place then they were the James Clan and finally it was the Iron Fortress.

The strength among the supreme elders was so much the same that there would be no difference and they were tied every time they fought in a one-on-one battle. So most of the strength of the powers differed in three factors, Number of great Elders, Elders, and Disciples. In addition to the strength of each.

The Alba family had only 18 members and one of them was exiled while the other is unknown parallel. Leaving him with 16 members. Unless all His members were elite among the elite equaling His central disciples, His strength was far inferior to them.

So He could only go personally to escort visitors out of the martial city.

He had no other choice and if the other party did not understand Him, He did not mind exterminating them. So he quickly moved along with more than 20 great Elders toward the direction of the city gate.

Chapter 152: You're an idiot, make his friend not his enemy!

The distance between the capital of the Alba Kingdom and the Martial City was not as big as that of the Sea Palace to the capital. As its name said The Sea Palace had its headquarters on the coast of the Kingdom of Cesoria so they would have to cross the entire kingdom before reaching the Kingdom of Alba.

While the Martial City was at the juncture of three Kingdoms at the edge of the Region. If it were not for the mountainous territory and the ability to have a direct road, the distance could be made in a couple of days with fast beasts.

The Falcons quickly descended in an orderly manner until they fell softly on the ground and people began to descend from the backs of the Falcons.

Meanwhile, an Elder began to open his eyes in disbelief at the sight of the people who came down from the Falcons and quickly went to whisper a few words to Ethel and when he heard the Elder's words he could only see him in disbelief.

And whisper to himself: "It seems the Seventh Power has been born".

This was because the people who descended were the Alba family!

If the rumors were true, The Old King and Queen would both be in the Elemental half step, plus their terrifying grandson with the force of ninth level Qi gathering.

The only good thing was that it was said that the rest of the third generation of the Alba family were ordinary people without martial talent.

It was said that besides the first three princes no one else in the third generation had a great talent.

This placed the Martial City in a difficult position because if they formed friendly ties with the Alba family they would be offending the Sea Palace and the James Clan, After all, it was not private that the Alba family was in bad terms with the sea palace and that they did not face the James Clan.

But if it did not form ties with a nascent power like the Alba family it could be a loss to the Martial City, since geographically this was the closest power and would be a great ally in times of crisis.

Ethel didn't know what to do but still raised his hands, Without saying a word he and the elders of the Martial City disappeared while the supervisor dressed in black didn't move a bit.

But when he saw the strength of the Elders who had come down from the Falcons his eyes shone and he thought: "The Elder has a force half a step like me but I am not sure if I could overcome it but that Elder has a force that I cannot measure! If I can measure it only means one thing, Elemental Realm!"

This caused him to secretly measure the power of others, and his eyes were opened in disbelief.

Apart from a middle-aged man and woman, they were all in Gathering Qi!

Even the youngest and their levels were not small, all have at least the strength of Fourth level Gathering Qi!

That Man remembered that the best talents in the region should be 16-17 years old and are in first level Gathering Qi but if compared to these young people, they were trash!

Right now I was watching a 9-year-old girl in the Fifth Level Gathering Qi, Apparently, this family was hiding its strength. They also had an Elemental expert.

When he saw around him he realized that everyone in Martial City had left!

The man could not believe what he saw, That old man a few feet away was an Elemental expert but the Martial City treated him with such discourtesy, were they, idiots, did they want to die?

With the strength of those people, they would even be placed in the northern states would be a force of half-category! In addition to the fact that his younger generation was full of talents and with an Elemental expert guarding the family, it would be rare if that family in a few decades did not become a power similar to his pavilion. Also, the most shocking thing was that a family could develop at that level in land as desert as this one. This is definitely a miracle.

Those individuals could be few but what good is it to have a pile of garbage and just a couple of geniuses. In that family, everyone is a genius.

These people were worth being friends with.

So the man approached the Elder without hesitation and said: "Welcome to the tournament, I wonder what is the name of the esteemed guest".

So the old man smiled and said, "Adam Alba and you, what's your name?"

The man noticed that the old man did not have an arrogant attitude so he feels more comfortable.

"Krasic, I'm the delegate in charge of the tournament."

The old man smiled and said, "Hahaha, so you're the one in charge of seeing the most exalted geniuses in the region."

Krasic read between words and realized that the words of that old man seemed to be praising the geniuses of the powers but among his words, there was a touch of ridicule and when he saw the young people behind Adam he could not help but nod in his heart.

As far as he knew, the powers of this region had emptied innumerable of their resources into six genii, that is, one by power, but in this family, there were seven young men who surpassed them by great margins.

Honestly, Krasic was not given any prize for bringing the best possible genius to the Prim State tournament so he didn't care about the outcome of this tournament. He was only here to escort the winners to Prim State to train in the state for the remainder of the time until the northern states tournament begins.

But if the winner of this tournament won his state's tournament he wouldn't get anything. After all, there were hundreds of other people like him in his pavilion. Only now had they deployed more than 25 to verify tournaments held in these regions.

So since Adam's family wanted to have a low profile, there was no reason for him to reveal his affairs to the world.

So Krasic personally escorted the Alba family to Martial City. He did not know why this inept lord of the city treated the Alba family like this, but what he did know is that he will regret this in the future.

Meanwhile, two elderly women were drinking tea in a courtyard in the center of the city.

These looked like old friends and were the supreme elders of Sea Palace and Clan James.

While on the other side of the courtyard you could see a young couple training in between, it was a quite handsome young man along with a beautiful lady wielding her swords at great speed.

These were Nathaniel and Sybilla.

In recent years the Sea Palace seemed to be staggering but it was thanks to the help of the James Clan that they were able to stabilize. These two powers have a good relationship and due to the same, the other powers did not approach the Alba family.

Soon a voice came from the corridors along with a few footsteps running at maximum speed: "Lady, Lady, Something happened!"

This caused the young men to stop training and see the middle-aged man who had just entered with confused eyes. They did not believe that such important news would pass to interrupt them while they were training.

The Supreme Elder was going to reprimand the man but he didn't even give her a chance to speak when the exhausted man said: "The Alba family has arrived in the Martial City!"!

"Boom”

Hearing those words Sybilla involuntarily broke his sword and cold sweat was seen on his forehead. For if the Alba family had arrived it could only mean one thing.

Their cousin had arrived.

Chapter 151: I also want to see the tournament

The next day five hawks the size of a small room carrying all of the Alba family, plus Frey and other close friends.

As for the Kingdom, they left it to the prime minister and the two deputy ministers. if these idiots tried to make a coup d'etat they would only kill them.

Meanwhile Lewis and Joanna who were in a Hawk have expressions difficult to describe. These were Elementary Half Step Falcons!

And they were Five!

It was known that the great powers had only 2 flying beasts each and the only people who could use them at will were Sect master and the great Elder but now his ex-wife had almost half of those on her own,

If this didn't show how strong Anna had become, what would she do?

While Joanna could only resign herself, Apparently her husband was wise to tell her to stop the war with Anna, If she followed her she would only end up dead.

In fact she had asked her father to refrain from doing anything to Anna's business and even went to the Snow Kingdom to ask the ex queen for forgiveness. Accepting defeat.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go on but the loss of a warehouse in addition to the money stored there hit her hard.

Many did not know it but Walter had saved for several decades in order to buy a fleet of Great Waves Dynasty iron ships in order to expand his business along the sea coast of 25 countries and even go to the small islands surrounding the mainland. If he could do this, his benefits would have been monumental.

Walter normally wouldn't have that much gold with him, in fact neither would the chambers of commerce in the Northern states have that liquid money.

So commercial families did not live together and had a great variety of branches with a small part of their total wealth, making it impossible to steal all their wealth or annihilate them in one fell swoop.

If they hit the family or headquarters, the branches took their share of wealth and hid in safe houses for a couple of decades until they could slowly appear.

Because of this, Walter divided his wealth into five, leaving a large part of the wealth in his house in case one day something happens in his house. No doubt he would flee through tunnels made by himself with part of the wealth.

If an enemy attacks him he will have to divide his labor into five which will make him have enough time to escape, the commercial families were not foolish and did what merchants do best. Copy the competitor.

No one knows who made this system but no doubt they thought it was a business family to prevent others from having bad intentions with their money, Because by doing this, Even if they stole the wealth the labor involved to do so would make the profits small compared to the effort.

If you really wanted to destroy a commercial family you would have to launch a simultaneous attack on the headquarters and all its branches, something that would only be done by a madman with many resources to waste or someone very powerful who could kill them just by seeing them.

Now Walter had been robbed of a fifth of his wealth which was the same as taking an arm, this would delay several years in his plans. He had no energy to waste in the shower of the throne and worse knowing that the enemy was so strong.

To match it he would have to hire strong experts but without their own strength these experts could get out of control betraying him, because of this at best he smuggled experts in the first level Gathering Qi.

So the best thing was to surrender with your strength you couldn't help your grandson even if he wanted to and knew that the power of money was limited. Deciding that now he would only spend his life doing business avoiding politics.

Since the third prince killed two Great Elders of the Sea Palace, he was no fool and realized that his grandson was very inferior to that monster, only waiting for that grandson of his to realize this and choose to live in the shadow of his brother. It didn't sound pretty but it was better than dying. Besides, with the third prince in command it seemed that the uprising of the Alba family was only a matter of time.

The only thing that puzzled Walter was that the third prince was so talented because none of the six powers had established cordial relations with him?

Of the six powers, only three will be able to have good relations with the third prince they were: The iron fortress, Clan Grey and the Martial City.

But none of them had.

Meanwhile, the third generation of the Alba family is happy riding the falcon this was the first time they left the Kingdom capital!

Among them only the first princess went out to train while members under the age of 14 were forbidden to leave the Royal Palace unsupervised and could not leave the capital.

Among them were two people with a bad face.

The first one was the second princess, I couldn't believe that Alexander hid such amazing and beautiful animals from her. 

the second was the third princess.

She didn't like the outdoors and preferred to spend time reading in her room outside the outside world but now she was being bathed in the rays of the sun, making her feel uncomfortable. She didn't want to come but seeing that the whole family including the concubines would go to the Martial City she had no choice but to go with them.

While Jackys, Guy, Britt and Elise were in a good mood. Everyone wanted to sightsee in their own way. and Elise was excited to see the competition.

They soon spent hours and half a day in Martial City. Five huge Falcons could be seen on the horizon. Alarming everyone.

Because the beasts of that size were at least half step Elemental beasts!

Apparently they were in V formation making the experts realize that they were being controlled by Someone, This reassured them but they also thought, Who comes in those mounts.

Soon in front of the martial city was the Lord of the City to welcome the distinguished guests.

Apart from him, there was also a middle-aged man in a black uniform and on his back was written "Eternal radiance".

This was the man in charge of watching over the competition of this region! and belonged to one of the most powerful forces of the Prim State!

The pavilion of the Eternal Radiance!

This was a force where Elemental half step cultivators could be counted as hundreds!  If only one of them took the final step they could become a mortal country!

In the eyes one could see the Arrogance of man as he thought: "Who in this desert land could have so many mounts half an Elemental step?"

Chapter 150: there will always be better resources.

The Brook family would not dare to make any move until the tournament in the region is over, because the tournament was supervised by a delegate from the northern states and their record will not be weak.

It was 4 days before the start of the tournament and all the forces of the region will be present. In fact not only the powers like the Sea Palace sent their best talents and for Alexander, it was an opportunity to recruit some talents.

The talents would go where the best resources are and the powers would nurture them to one day expand their power, reaching new heights.

So all powers needed geniuses and Alexander now needed them too. These were plans for the future.

In other words, if you wanted to open a branch in a city where the greatest experts are Qi Gathering, you needed the branch manager to have the same or greater force as the heads of the local powers.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to do business, as the local authorities also have their own businesses to generate wealth and the market shares were already defined making the arrival of new competition unwelcome. So much so that local powers could force them out if they didn't have enough strength to defend themselves.

Now Alexander was determined to go to the tournament to recruit talent, since in this region he could arrogantly declare that he had the best resources, even surpassing the six governing powers.

Alexander had enough resources for Body Refining Realm that would make even a pig enter the Body Refining Peak easily but could improve even more.

The great powers in the mortal Countries of great degrees use specialized medicine. In other words, one pill focused on the bones and tendons, another for the blood, another for the muscles, another for the internal organs and another for the bone marrow.

These pills have great benefits for the base of the body and this will give many more chances to the person to enter the Qi Gathering Realm, This by adding the Qi sensing pill.

Because of this false cultivators were very common, so much so that they could be seen everywhere easily.

Besides this they also had a better pill than the pure Qi pill, called "Qi Spirit pill".

With these pills it was very easy to pass the Qi gathering making that if the quality of the pills was high to enter the Elemental Realm be a thing of two or three years, even less if consumed in parallel with spiritual stones.

The only bad thing is that the ingredients for these pills are not available in these desert areas, in fact it could be that even in the weakest fifth-degree mortal countries like the Uri Republic.

In the area of Fifth Grade mortal Countries, only those who are in the middle or at the peak of these countries were found these pills. Excluding the Qi Sensing Pill. But only the rest of the pills would make the strength of those countries much stronger than others.

Now Alexander had the pink peaches ocuri, a spiritual fruit that would have effects even on the Elemental Experts, Each of these fruits would make an expert half step into the real Elemental Realm.

This made it clear how much Qi it could have, which made Alexander think to dilute it and create a potion suitable to nurture experts in the Qi Gathering Realm.

Now he was an expert in the Elemental half step so this level of alchemy had become much simpler compared to when he was in Body Refining, If you have this added the almost magical cauldron, this level of pills was very easy for him.

Thinking about this the only problem will be to melt the spiritual fruit with a common fire. That would take some effort.

For true ingredients of a star was needed flame of mana. This was a fire that had transcended into the common fire with which common food like rice was cooked.

And it was special for the cultivators, this was because with this flame were made the pills of high grade, as their ingredients were resistant to those fires.

For the Burui alchemists who could easily form a manna flame through their own manna but for the Ibra alchemists, it was more difficult as they had to get specialized cauldrons as well as mana crystals.

So Alexander discarded the idea of making a potion on the basis of the pink peach Ocuri. Now he didn't have what it took.

His present cauldron had a space for a ninth-grade manna crystal but in this area, it is impossible to get one. Perhaps only in mortal countries are they obtained and will not be cheap at all.

So Alexander discarded that idea for now and could only push it to the bottom of his head. Now all he would do is consume the spiritual fruits. This will help you get into the Realm Elemental soon.

Now he had several thousand spiritual Fruits so there was no shortage, in fact Alexander was surprised that in this year his family only ate a few but soon realized that even if they wanted they could not consume too many, Since their weak crops would not allow it, Just as his brothers who were only in the beginning of Gathering Qi could only consume one per year, Making them refine the medicinal effect for a whole year.

 Because of this his sisters who were in the first Gathering Qi kingdom a year ago had jumped to the Fifth in a single year!

An Ocuri Peach was just like hundreds of pills of pure Qi!

Now all she would do is set off for the tournament in Martial City along with her family.

Before they could have stayed in the Martial City but there was a problem, If people investigated you can easily discover that they had been in the city for a year but that was not the real problem, but they had been doing for a year without saying anything at all!

This was very suspicious and people started asking questions.

Besides that there was another obvious reason and that was theft. Now the family plans needed a lot of money, not only for the chamber of commerce but also for the academy and any gold coin was valuable.

Alexander's plan was simple, to make it look like the Alba family is in the martial city while Audrey's robbery was taking place. At this time no one other than her grandparents knew she was at the Elemental Realm. They did assume that he was in the middle of nowhere.

Alexander had Hundreds of Falcons that he had raised from common animals to wild beasts thanks to the Crystal Berserk. And now the elite among them was with a similar strength to ninth level Gathering Qi so Alexander gave them a few dozen spiritual fruits to help them advance to the Elemental half step.

So Adam wouldn't have to be pulling the carriage at full speed like a horse. Plus the ride would be more comfortable.

For humans with fragile bodies eating this amount of simultaneous fruit would only end up exploding but for wild beasts with hard flesh, it was no problem to eat this.

"Crac"

"Crac."

"Crac."

"Crac..."

Thus sounds of bones breaking sounded from the bodies of falcons, Growing slowly to the size of a small room, These falcons could easily carry five people on their backs.
