Precise Preparations

Aeries sat with his legs crossed as he sensed the flow of Qi in his surrounding. In his mind, he envisioned the Mountains Lakes and Man technique, practicing it slowly. Regardless of how strong he got, there seem to be Masters better than him. “Sigh. No need to think too much. Just do your best and make sure to not have any regrets.” He got out of his coach and stretched his tired legs. “Good morning Young Master" A lady greeted. “En, Lauren, how far are we to the capital?” “According to the guide, less than a week.” “Too slow. Let them double our speed. The demon mounts can be fed at the capital. I need to be there before 3 days!” Aeries said solemnly. “Yes Young Master.” This was naturally Lauren, the slave turned maid he bought from the imperial hall. Aeries preparations had been laid in a very precise manner. Though it'll be easy to connect the dots, only someone who had been with him this whole whole would believe the renowned country's slick pants would be this calculative. That's right! Starting from the day he took flight on his Soaring Hummingbird, Aeries made different simulations of what would happen if he caught up with the chaos in the Kingdom's capital. Putting two things in mind... One; He would have to save his stubborn dad this new world 'blessed' him with. And two, that would be his depot to the new world. He knew this would be the last time he was ever going to trudge through this country for a long while. He chose to make his final preparations count. “Hey Lauren, get me a map. and some details of the city we're in. Don't do it yourself though, send someone else." “Wouldn't everyone's mind roam around with the way you treat me? Let alone now that you're making me the head.” “Don't think too much. What I need is someone capable, and one I can trust. You are both of them. don't forget that when everyone else lacked confidence in me, you were the only one that still stood strong” Lauren struggled to hide her blush with her glasses. The flutter in her heart did nothing but mask the thoughts her brain wired, ‘What are you thinking? you aren't a young lass in love again. Don't believe a cultivator would actually love a normal human like you.' "I understand. Is that every thing you need?” “En, make everyone stay prepared for departure at any time. I feel like I've miscalculated the strength and speed a Martial Flying Lord would possess, since I haven't seen one fight up close ” “Understood, Young Master Aeries.” Aeries eyes stayed looking through the window as she left. both in their own thoughts. Aeries conversation with Krush had went as such; “Impossible! how do you know about that, and even if you did, do you think you have what it takes to move any one of us?” “I believe this, would be enough?” Aeries slid a piece of paper towards Krush. Krush held it up and stiffened. Not because of the quality of the paper. It was what was written on it that got him hyped up. “Precious Resources that even you Flying Lords Lack” . “How should I believe you? Bring it out let me confirm the truth” “don't be unruly now. If I dare lie to you, won't it either be that I have the confidence to escape with my life, or that I might have hit my head real hard to become senile?” “Great! Good talk. I just hope you have the qualifications to back up your words!” Krush backed up. “Naturally. So are you prepared to lake a deal?” “I am, let me ask for a favor from that powerhouse,” “Two!” Aeries sipped his tea and brought out two fingers. “Excuse me? Do I look like am playing fun games to you?” “Sir Krush, don't misunderstanding. Am very certain your novel Enterprise has a total of three Flying Lords. One of which just happens to be right in front of me.” “Where did you get this information from?" J Krush grea angrier every second. To him, only he and the intelligence unit he carefully fostered could bring in information from north and south. He was greatly irritated to realize that someone else had such thorny level of information, and to worsen it, about his own Imperial Hall! “Its a trade secret. Naturally I won't let you have all sources of information can I?” Naturally, Aeries would never tell him that he almost died gleaning this information from two powerhouses, and up till now it had just been a calculative guess. “And what if I say they aren't such powerhouses here?" Krush made his final push, but Aeries could not back down at this moment. “Are you sure you want to give up such good deal to hide a secret that lots of people may already know? Your business sense can not be this low. More so, I am certain they are listening to this conversation right now. So, what do you say?” Krush mulled over his words for a long while, but his eyes never strayed from Aeries expression. After what would be the time for a tea to boil, a part of the room flickered with a scattering light, and a figure appeared from it. “Brat! do you think yourself a god? To act so blatantly in this King's vicinity, It looks like you have a death wish.” “Cut it out, Sao San. If you had remained where you are for a few minutes am sure he would've been convinced that his information is false. But there you go, deciding to show up like this. Annette, you can come out too.” Krush still had his eyes on Aeries when he said this. But this did nothing to deter Aeries smile... even when the third Flying Lord walked out from the darkness. “Brat. Where are the treasures you speak of? Talk and I would think of letting you off.” Sao San spoke with a huff. “ En, it seems Krush is still the best choice to make a deal with. ” Aeries spoke. “ I asked you a question and you dare ignore me? do you take this father for a mere fart? ” /“ Sao San, enough. Let's listen to his discourse first.” The third person, a girl said in a quiet tone. Aeries gleaned from their eyes that none of them believed he had a treasure that could move any of them. ‘Although it'll be hard to explain how I got this, it's better than nothing.' A slab of meat was slapped on the table unceremoniously, the meat looked as normal as that of a pig, and was so little it could be swallowed in one mouth full. less than 40 grams. “Are you joking with me! bare your right hand now! When you lose it you'll understand how to—” “Sao San, get back here immediately if you don't want to be backed to a corner by two Flying Lords” The woman said. Krush even added, “Do know that I'll be sending a message to our Supreme Head. Your attitude is more than I can Stomach. Did you really believe I won't figure out what you have been doing to those female slaves? You'll be lucky if you can even keep your cultivation after The Head Office calls you in.” “H-how could you!” Sao San choked on his words before turning pale. Whatever was in the Head Office that would make a Martial Flying Lord behave in such a manner was something Aeries with his measly cultivation could not imagine. “Eh!? Where did you get this?" Krush choked on his words. His face even turned pale as he so carefully poked the meat with his bare hands. This slab of meat was naturally the Time monster's meat. When Aeries had killed this monster, he did so only with the help of the Human Temple, and he had to recuperate for several weeks, up till now his Soul still had some unhealed damaged. And he couldn't even take out the Human Temple from his Sea of Consciousness. . Even the Female cultivator became frantic and asked, “Where did you get this? Is it still there?” “Em... I brought everything I saw with me. Which isn't much, like ten times the one on the table ” A surprised gasp came from both Flying Lords, Krush lost himself and asked for a price. “What I want isn't money. Just in exchange for some small job.” “What do you want?” “ En, I need two things. One, I need some one to make a trip with some random stuff. Move it as fast as you can go. The Second, I want Imperial Trade Hall to both openly and secretly protect my family for 5 years...” “As much as I want to accept these proposals, don't you think the chips on the table are too small?” ‘f**k this cunning Ape! still want to drain me dry before he would be satisfied.’ Now that he had already said the Meat wasn't much, going back on his word would mean he lied... and that much more still remains. After several minutes he gritted his teeth and made his decision, “I'll add in a technique.” “You...What do you mean a technique?> Just one? to put this bluntly, no technique you practice would be worth a dime in our eyes.” Krush said embarrassingly. “Hmmph! Have you finished boasting, Brat!” Sao San used the small leeway he had to mock Aeries. “Naturally, I understand. Just that... How do I put this, although there's a need to appraise it, you know a Cultivator's technique is his life's work. I can't bring it out on the table like that. But please be certain that this technique is not a low ranked one at all. You see, The Technique, and the Meat were both given to me by my Master. Their value alone is enough to buy a House. Especially when talking about the Technique ” This was true. In the end, Krush was left in a rock and hard spot. Although he believed Aeries 'master ' could be someone great, since they have no idea of who he is, it means that he was either a Hermit, or some Martial Great General who could not be put in their eyes. “ Sigh, Young Aeries, We can't just —” “I accept!” The female cultivator spoke fluently. Causing everyone to stare at her in shock. “If it doesn't have any requirements to learn then I want it. Rest assured I will be the one personally delivering this random stuff you talked about .” Even Aeries was not sure if the technique he wanted to give was alright for her... after a minute contemplation, he decided to bring out the second best technique he had. “How are we going to transfer it?” “Relax your mind, and try to create a bridge between our Sea of Consciousness. Then you can easily send the technique after that. “Right” With a master guiding him, it was easy for Aeries to learn about it and before three minutes, he had done it. The technique he sent was The Soaring Body technique, but it may have been his guilty conscience or the fact that the Woman looked unsatisfied, he made a compromised and also transfered the notes to the Blood Shattering Arts — first and second forms. It wasn't until he noticed her giving him a sweet smile before a sinking feeling of defeat crashed upon him... 'I've been had!’ “Boy, am sure your master did not tell you what rank of the techniques you gave me.” She leaned in and whispered. “He did not. What are their ranks?” Even he was curious about this. These Techniques were the ones he used his innate Skill 'fusion ' to create, so naturally he did not know how high they'll rank. “Both of them are at the Peak of Mortal Rank. Even for Flying Lords, such technique can self only be gotten. Even if you have the money, it'll be impossible.” “What! You tricked me!” Aeries did not mind her image at all, such vicious woman! He was always one to gain treasures like the MC in every story. To be dubbed this way... Unreconciled! “Boy what are you saying? I was trying to grasp a hidden meaning behind the one you gave me, I had no idea you would be charmed by my beauty and suddenly beg to give out the other one. Luck truly comes in pairs!” Aeries bit his tongue until he saw blood. Due to her status, every curse he wanted to spell out was stuck on his mouth. “I've been had!” “Remember boy, A man might be innocent, but his treasure can make him guilty. Don't say I never warned you.” Even a fool would be able to discern one thing or two from her words... ‘That Sao San... I must be careful of him. No, it's already late! I plan how to out run him or stake it all out with him if all fails.’
