Chapter 507: Mendy's Disbelief
"In addition to the business my town has to do with the Stokes family, what I offer is an opportunity," Minos said, looking at her and smiling.
Hearing this, this young woman looked at him even more seriously. "An opportunity? What are you talking about?"
"Hmm, I think you better get to know my town a little better before I talk about it, or you'll just think of it as an offense to your family or a joke."
"What?" She asked, even more curious. 'What kind of trading strategy is this? Just tell me soon, and I'll decide if it's worth it or not!'
"You intend to stay in my town for a few days, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, in that case, how about you get to know the city first? Then, after you've seen everything around here, I'll tell you what else your family can get from me. At this time, you will be able to make a decision based on many facts, and we will stop wasting time with doubts." He said as he released the pressure on that young woman's body.
'Are you that confident? Do you think your city is so good that it will be easier for me to accept your terms just because of that?' She pondered, at the same time, as she felt her body growing light.
Sensing this, Mendy immediately shifted to face Minos, still in his lap. "All right. As I already intended to spend a few days here and there is still this situation of aunt Mirya, we can do it this way."
"By the way, when will be able to see aunt Mirya? Will you accompany me to the location now?"
"No. As I said before, I sent someone to notify Viola of her arrival. So when she gets here, you can do this with her."
"Oh? All right." She then looked at him more closely, finally paying a little more attention to this young man than to the matters they had to deal with.
On the other hand, seeing this beautiful woman examining him without any shame, Minos couldn't help but do the same to her. After all, this young woman in his lap had moved up through the cultivation stage since the last time the two of them had seen each other. Consequently, she was even more beautiful.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Her skin was smoother, with fewer imperfections. Her eyes were more vivid than ever as if she had rested after a long stressful period. Anyway, her whole being seemed better than before.
But that doesn't mean she wasn't beautiful before. No, far from it, she was. But there would always be improvements during the stage promotion, things that would make those people's acquaintances compare the before and after.
And with such improvements, it would be hard not to think that the before was much worse than the after.
"He naturally must have his means..." Viola answered vaguely.
After talking about it, Mendy noticed something strange about her friend. "By the way, why are you wearing this outfit? It's like what the soldiers I saw at the entrance to this place wear."
Viola then sighed and said. "Well, no reason to hide about it. I'm wearing this uniform for the same reason the soldiers you saw on the local border wear theirs."
"What?" Mendy stopped walking and then took one of Viola's arms. "You can not be serious. Why would you do that?"
"Look at the opportunities this place has, Mendy. In this city, there is a library with Blue-grade techniques where any local citizen can learn any of them!"
"This factor alone makes this city very good for common people, who do not have strong family support. Just because of that, the citizens of this city, even the farmers, already have techniques as good as the subordinates of the great regional noble families!"
"And circumstances are even better for the soldiers of the Black Plain Army. I can't tell you everything, but just so you know, the techniques the soldiers learn are all Black-grade!" Viola said this seriously, looking into her friend's eyes.
"Is this...Is this true? Is he not afraid that the population will rebel?" Mendy asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"Fear? Minos has just reached level 49 and is already a lot stronger than level 54 cultivators. In fact, I think he could already fight someone at level 55, and he wouldn't lose!"
"And he's only 20!"
"Impossible! That cannot be true!"
"How could anyone achieve such high fighting proficiency?" She said it, almost thinking about it as she shook her head from side to side.
This young woman was very proud of her power after reaching level 50. But she didn't see herself capable of fighting someone at level 51!
In fact, if she were to attempt a life and death fight with someone of that level in the present moment, she wouldn't have the confidence to win...
Precisely because of that, she knew how absurd what Viola had just said was.
Also, even her father, the strongest person in the Stokes family, was only at level 56 and certainly wouldn't be able to fight someone at level 57. So, this young woman couldn't help finding it all very unbelievable!
'If so, in a year or two, will Minos already be stronger than my father? I do not believe it! That is nonsense that doesn't make any sense!' She refused to believe it.
