Chapter 53: Baited

"Guards," Loo shouted and pointed at Kleid. "Escort him out of here fast! Don't let him in here again!"

Kleid didn't get to listen to them talking. His ears were still ringing when he was told to 'fuck off'. He couldn't understand why he got cursed at by the round man.

However, he was quickly brought back by Loo's shout.

The guards took him by the arms and walked towards the elevator. He squirmed and squirmed, but how could an Elite like him fight against guards like these.

"Uncle Loo, what did I do? Uncle Loo, you can't do this to me! Ahh, I'm telling my father about this!" Kleid kept shouting until the elevator door closed.

"I'm sorry for his behavior. I assure you that he won't be stepping in this building ever again." Loo apologized.

He didn't care about the relationship between their two families. They might be rich, but they are not part of the 5 big families of Estra.

"It's fine. No harm done. If you would please get all the items that we've asked for, that'd be great." Marcus waved his hand.

"Yes, right away." He excitedly nodded and went straight to a nearby door.

"Don't you think it would be bad if a lot of people find out we have a lot of money?" Eva asked.

"Who's going to tell them? Him? Trust me, he won't." Marcus looked at Eva.

Eva nodded and didn't talk about it anymore.

Nexus was silent on the side. He's currently using soul sense on Kleid.

"Mortals and immortals are truly the same. Asshats can never resist beauty. At least when I was like that, I had the decency to ask for a woman's consent." Nexus scoffed.

"Don't generalize. Not all mortals are like that. Sometimes, you just have to look at the good side of humanity." Eva smiled at Nexus.

"Good side of humanity huh?" Nexus chuckled.

"So you asked for women's consent in the past? How many were there?" Eva asked in a teasing way. She already knew about this but she just wanted to tease Nexus a bit.

Nexus froze. He stopped chuckling and shut his mouth.

Not long after, the round man came back with a couple of spatial rings.

He handed it to them and said "All the items that you've asked for are here."

Marcus extended his hand and received it. He checked every single one of them, and he then passed the one with the formation materials to Nexus for him to check if all the items he requested were there.

Nexus checked everything for a few seconds and then nodded.

"Ahem" The round man cleared his throat and took out a badge from his own spatial ring. "On behalf of Waypons, I would like to tell you that you'll have a 50% discount every time you buy in our stores. Just show them this."

Loo handed a small grey circular badge with an M in the middle to Marcus.

Marcus looked at Eva and Nexus as he happily said "With these, we can start our business!"

Eva was puzzled 'We needed this to start our business?'

Unlike Eva, Nexus knew what to do. "It's good to be away from our family for a while, and build something with our own hands."

"Mhm" Marcus nodded "All the people who want to curry favor from our parents would immediately try to boost us if we tried to build one there."

Eva finally figured it out so she went along and said in a sad tone. "Speaking of, they must be worried about you right now."

"Hahaha," Marcus laughed. "Worried? I don't think so. I'm sure dad sent a few experts to tail us so that even if dozens of peak Preparation Stage experts come, we'll still be safe."

Loo who was about to walk away stopped. He listened to their conversation. When they said they would start a business, he heard a 'cha ching' sound in his head. When he heard the second part of their conversation, he gulped and felt chills all over his body.

'Peak Preparation would not be able to defeat their guards?' Loo thought it was ridiculous at first. But then again, they were not afraid of buying all these things and revealing their wealth.

'Dad is going to be so proud of me.' Loo formulated a plan to befriend them and not let other families know.

"Ahem, I couldn't help but overhear you starting a business here in Estra. I'm looking to invest in new and upcoming businesses. I know you guys are rich but it's always good to have a strong backer am I right?" Loo hurriedly pitched in.

The three of them were silently laughing.

'Time to reel it in.' Marcus smiled and said. "Hmm, as you can see, we're already splitting the business in three. Also, we already agreed to hand the Xalia family a piece of the cake."

Marcus sounded like he wasn't that interested in making a deal with Loo.

Loo cursed. 'Fuck, the Xalia's are fast.'

Loo hurriedly said. "Don't, don't worry I'm not asking for something big. How about 10%? Sounds good right?"

Marcus wrinkled his brows.

Before Marcus could decline, Loo changed his offer "How about 5%?"

Marcus looked at Eva and Nexus who seemed to be deep thought.

Marcus sighed. "Alright 5%. How much will you be giving us?"

Marcus didn't want to accept the 10%. It was too big of a share. Other than that, he also doesn't like to accept right away. He holds all the cards, why be hasty?

Loo told them the amount. When Nexus and Eva heard it, they could hardly hold their laughter.

Loo didn't mind spending this much. He also thought it was worth it. His family plus the Xalia's, this business would easily grow and expand.

Marcus, however, only had a straight face. He extended his arm and said. "Deal."

Loo sighed in relief and he, too, extended his arm.

'Yes!' both of them thought in their minds.

Loo gave him his contact information and watched them leave.

Marcus, Nexus, and Eva stood outside of the building with bright smiles on their faces.

"He shoots, he scores." Eva praised as she stood to the left of Marcus.

"You play basketball?" Marcus asked. He has watched a few games himself but he wasn't that interested in playing it. He was more interested in football (soccer).

"I only watched a couple of times when my dad was alive." Eva smiled with a tinge of sadness.

"Hey, hey, we just made a killing. We almost got all our money back. We should be celebrating." Nexus didn't want to see Eva being sad.

Marcus shook his head "We can hold the celebration later. There are still a few places we need to go to."

Their ride arrived and they went to the place where they could buy their own rides. Eva bought a white colored car and Nexus bought a black one. Marcus chose a vermilion-colored sports car. Permits can be given in the store but they did have to wait for a while. The cars can drive by themselves, and you just need to input the destination, so there's really no hassle on driving permits and such.

Marcus asked the people to deliver the cars to their place since they still need to shop for food.

----

A few hours later, they finally arrived home.
