The council members had not held Han Cai in high regard, as they believed he was just a young, talented kid who had gotten lucky in conquering a country. But now, their opinion of him had changed. None of them could sense when Han Cai had moved behind the leader.
Even the leader, who was not yet a Law Immortal, was shocked. He had felt fluctuations in the laws of the world that he himself could not manipulate, yet Han Cai, at such a low cultivation level, was able to manipulate them.
Han Cai walked back to his chair from behind the leader's seat, sat down, and said, "But I am lazy. I have already given the organization a country. I don't think I need to contribute more for now. However, I am conflicted. I know if the struggle between the Aurelian Dragons and Crimson Serpents ends, the Crimson Serpent will come for my Yin. So honestly, I am looking for motivation."
After seeing Han Cai manipulate the laws, the leader's authoritative voice became gentler, "You are now part of our organization. Don't think of yourself as an outsider. How about this: the resources that our organization is receiving from Yin, fifty percent of these resources will be allocated to you alone, and our organization will make do with the remaining fifty percent."
Han Cai responded with a smile, "I feel motivated now."
Two months later.
Han Cai, the Wang and Cui young masters, and Han Cai's father approached the majestic gates of the royal capital of the Mystic Sky Kingdom, Jadesky City. They had used their transformation skills to alter their appearances, seamlessly blending in as wealthy merchants from the far-off Jianyu Islands.
Jadesky City was awe-inspiring, with magnificent architecture that reached to the heavens. Massive skyscrapers adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering gemstones stood proudly alongside lush, sprawling gardens, reflecting the Mystic Sky Kingdom's immense wealth and power. Merchants from across the continent gathered in the city to trade rare and exotic goods, while cultivators honed their skills in prestigious academies.
Han Cai meticulously planned their arrival to leave an indelible impression on the people of Jadesky City. To announce their arrival, they had planned a grand procession complete with fanfare and colourful banners. A luxurious caravan, a breathtaking spectacle of luxury, was at the heart of the procession. Magnificent horses with ornate harnesses pulled magnificent carriages. Their gleaming metal inlays and polished wood inlays reflected the sunlight. The caravan was loaded with exotic goods from the Jianyu Islands, enhancing the team's reputation as powerful merchants.
The bustling streets came to a halt as the luxurious parade entered the city, and whispers about the wealthy newcomers spread among the awestruck crowd. People from all walks of life stopped to watch the procession and speculate about the reason for their visit.
The procession moved through Jadesky City's streets, displaying the newcomers' wealth and power to the city's residents. As they passed, onlookers gazed in awe at the caravan, cementing the team's reputation as powerful merchants from the Jianyu Islands.
When the team arrived in Jadesky City, they went straight to their first destination: a luxurious mansion purchased by Yongnian ahead of their arrival. This magnificent residence, known as the "Jade Serenity Mansion," was located in a prestigious district, surrounded by influential figures' homes and bustling markets. The mansion itself was an architectural masterpiece, with elegant designs and opulent furnishings that reflected the occupants' wealth and status.
The mansion's entrance hall featured marble floors, intricate carvings, and a magnificent crystal chandelier that cast a warm, golden glow throughout the space. The walls were adorned with exquisite paintings and tapestries, and the plush furnishings displayed the highest level of craftsmanship. The mansion also had a tranquil courtyard garden with a koi pond and vibrant, fragrant flowers, providing a peaceful oasis in the midst of the bustling city.
Once settled in the Jade Serenity Mansion, Han Cai called for a meeting with his team in a private, lavishly decorated chamber. He outlined their objectives and assigned tasks to each member, emphasizing the importance of establishing a strong foothold within Jadesky City.
Han Cai directed his team to acquire prime real estate in strategic locations throughout Jadesky City, such as commercial buildings, residential properties, and entertainment venues. These acquisitions would not only serve as a foundation for their various businesses, but would also strengthen their position as influential merchants.
Yongnian, who had arrived in Jadesky City earlier, was given the crucial responsibility of recruiting skilled and loyal workers for their various enterprises. He was to seek out individuals who not only possessed the necessary expertise but also demonstrated unwavering loyalty and discretion. This would ensure that their cover remained intact and that their mission could proceed smoothly.
With their tasks assigned, the team members dispersed throughout Jadesky City to carry out their plans. They were ever mindful of the importance of maintaining their cover and gathering vital information about the royal family and the political landscape of the Mystic Sky Kingdom as they worked diligently to acquire properties and establish businesses
Han Cai and his father, Han Dai, decided to take a leisurely ride through the city in an opulent carriage to further solidify their image as wealthy merchants. Six magnificent horses pulled the carriage, their coats glossy and well-kept, their manes and tails braided with silk ribbons and gem-encrusted ornaments.
The sight of the extravagantly dressed father and son duo leisurely perched in their luxurious carriage drew the attention of both commoners and the city's elite. People came to a halt, casting curious glances and whispering amongst themselves about the identity of these wealthy newcomers.
As they made their way through the city, Han Cai and Han Dai arrived at Jadesky City's most prestigious inn, the Haven Inn.
This magnificent establishment was nestled in the heart of the city's most affluent district, catering to its wealthy patrons' whims and desires.
