The Strongest Businessman: Becoming The Strongest Through Business - Chapter 8

“What did you say?” Purple Dragon was suddenly hit with a realization when he heard Purple Bear’s words.

“Umm, this is the true strength of King Hades?” Purple Bear was startled as he repeated what he just said earlier.

“That’s it! King Diablo is someone who always wants to test his limits! Wanting to test the newly ascended King Hades, he issued a challenge and they fought! King Diablo thought that Asura was related to Hades was because he recognized that they both practice the same martial arts!” Purple Dragon thought out loud as he expressed his disbelief.

“That’s…!” The entire team of purple ranked beasts looked at Purple Dragon and were flabbergasted by what he had just uttered. That might just be the very reason for King Diablo’s warning!

“King Diablo must not have anticipated that the two to be the same person. At best, he must have thought they were master and disciple…” Purple Ox surmised.

“So, that’s why Diablo sent you here.” A voice suddenly caused them to shift their attention. Their eyes were wide open as they saw that Dylan was actually heading to their direction!

Luckily for them, Dylan was stopped by two of the robots in the Robo-Prime Squad.

[Turbo Smash!] The two robots seemed to have morphed as their hands split into two, making them have four arms. The eight arms were in punching stance which soon changed as their fist seemed to have extended and retracted at sonic speed!

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Dylan was moving at an inhuman speed as he evaded from the attacks he could dodge and defended himself with those he could not. It seemed like he was facing a volley of cannonballs as each fist contained the power of fully swung sledgehammer!

‘Turbo Smash when paired with a supercomputer’s calculation could adjust the trajectory of their fist in just a milisecond! Splendid!’ Dylan evaluated as his eyes lit up.

But it was also at this moment that three more robots were approaching! Their heels seemed to have been attached with car wheels that was not there earlier. They all rollerscated towards Dylan as they attacked with Turbo Smash!

“These robots have specialized moves like that?!” The team of mercenaries were once again taken aback as they witnessed the prowess of advanced technology and robotics!

That attack alone could kill dozens of soldiers in the battlefield or flatten a tank within seconds! The rollerscate like feet solved their flaws of maneuverability! It was as if these robots were designed to be supersoldiers for war!

“Those robots are capable of such fast yet devastating attacks! But the scariest thing is that Dylan Ford could actually recieve those attacks without being pushed back!” Purple Serpent observed such shocking defense from Dylan every time he defended against an attack!

“Cloth capable of changing appearances. Enhanced physiological functions. Immunity against electricity, bullets, and power. Just what sort of technology is the Cloak of Death equipped with?!” Purple Lion could not believe that there was such a high-end technology in their age!

This question was also currently haunting Purple Dragon and the others, ‘ Just how many secrets does Omega and Dylan Ford have?’

…

‘Dealing with 5 of them is really exhausting. I should avoid destroying you all though. I guess I can just paralyze them for now!’ Dylan suddenly stopped moving as he met twenty fists head on.

It was akin to be hit by twenty sledgehammers at once! A normal human would already be squashed into meat paste after such an attack. However, Dylan was still as fine as he could get.

Dylan was motionless until he raised his right hand and snapped as he spoke, “E-Trans: Electro-wave!”

His snap generated a spark. Along with that spark, Dylan’s body soon exploded with electric sparks! The next instant, a rippling wave of electromagnetic wave was produced visibly to the point where it was actually visible in the eyes of Purple Dragon and the others!

“Electricity?!” The scene they just saw was ridiculous! It was as if they were stuck in a fantasy show because they actually saw someone produce electricity with just a snap of his finger like a magician. They wondered if this was still the the same Earth that they were living in!

The Robo-Squad Prime were the nearest to Dylan as they were all ordered to eliminate him. The electric wave bypassed the robots’ exterior amd caused the robots’ energy reserves to malfunction which caused a power drain and even forcefully shut down their systems. The robots got unto their knees and heads bowed as their eyes shut down.

The Electro-wave had lost most of its strength but it was still enough to knock a person into a coma. However, as the Purple Dragon Team had trained their resistance to electric shocks, they were only rendered immobile by the attack.

“What is happening?! Is he even human?!” Purple Serpent looked at Dylan with terror when he felt he was fully paralyzed. He thought that he was only participating a regular assassination mission but something unbelievable was unfolding in his eyes!

“What the fuck?! I What sorcery is this?!” Purple Bear was gobsmacked. Time and time again, he was shocked beyond belief that he felt he was going insane. He discovers Dylan is Hades and now Hades is actually a superhuman capable of superpowers?!

The rest all had the same sort of reactions. What they were experiencing right now was something straight out of fiction but it was truly happening! They all shared the same thought as they all sunk in despair when Dylan’s skull mask stared at them like the Grim Reaper.

‘Am I going to die?’

…

They were all too shocked that they could not even think straight. But, this was only understandable as Dylan just displayed something that was out of the scope of their understanding.

When Dylan became Hades, he discovered various researches by underworld scientists that was not yet touched upon by the real world’s science. This was primarily due to them being rejected by their superiors for unethical practice or unfeasiblie theories and some comitting crimes such as theft or murder.

There were researches that were unprecedented and their only flaws were lack of funds. Others would logically distance themselves from such dangerous researches but Dylan was different. He saw many possibilities in those researches that could hasten the improvement of Omega and improve its foundation to an unimaginable level.

At that point, he had access to both the underworld’s and the real world’s body of knowledge. As opportunistic as Dylan was, there was no way he would let such an opportunity of leading the world’s technological advancement slip past his hands.

He used both braches of knowledge to strengthen and improve each other. Sometimes, one would mend the flaw of the other. Other times, it would expand the scope of another research. There were also events where two or more ideas were consolidated to perfect a research! This caused one scientific breakthrough after the other.

This led to Dylan’s Omega Tech Company’s development to skyrocket and become the world’s leading figure in engineering, robotics and technology!

However, Dylan did not reveal all of those secrets as he hid the most valuable ones to the world. There were three research that he kept to his own and perfected by his own. Those three were: Android Project, Nanobot Project and E-Trans Project!

The prototypes of the Android Project was the Robo-Squad Prime that Dylan had deployed and even fought. This project was the result of the Cyborg research that Dylan chanced upon and an advanced artificial intellegence ddeveloped by another researcher.

The findings of both research eventually led Dylan to conclude that the creation of humanoid super soldiers which he called Androids were possible! Thus, he carried out this research on his own.

After years of trial and error, he was finally able to produce 60 of them aside from the Robo-Squad Prime. All of which were standing on guard in all of his favorite underground research facilities that was built under all five of the continental main branches of Omega! This was to safeguard all of his research papers and experimental data.

The second project was Dylan’s nanobot technology that he used on his Cloak of Death. This stemmed from a medical research that he had chanced upon which dealt with microscopic parasites in order to potentially kill viruses while at its infancy.

Using all of his power to enhance this research, Dylan was successfully able to upgrade it to the nano level and even connected it with his brain using an AI Chip which even surpasses supercomputer when it comes to calculation and deduction skills.

The AI Chip which he named Daedalus allows him to manipulate the nanobots to transform into almost any shape. The AI Chip was flawlessly integrated to Dylan’s brain that when it is activated he could also weild the terrifying calculation abilities of the super AI.

He even reinforced his nano bots with carbon fibers that would be as durable as gold! This lead to the creation of the Cloak of Death.

The last and the most terrifying secret that Dylan had was the E-Trans Project or the Energy Transmutation System. It was a technology that allows instantaneous transmutation of energy into another form of element!

This technology was something that dumbfounded him when he discovered it. Dylan had come up with himself when he found about a theory of a mobile energy transmutation system. However, this was trashed after 5 years of fruitless experimentation.

But when Dylan found this research, he felt that it would be such a waste to not pursue such an amazing research. He even somewhat felt that this was a research that was meant for him. Thus, Dylan studied and improved it to the point that he actually suceeded.

After some refinements, Dylan was able to reduce the time needed to a nanosecond! After incorporating the generator with piezoelectric and thermoelectric technology, Dylan completed the E-Trans System!

This was shown earlier when Dylan was able to convert the mechanical stress of the punches of the robotic soldiers into the Electro-wave he used to shut down their systems. Or when he had transform the electricity from the electric charge of the bullets into overwhelming physical strength!

Dylan even hypothesized that if he could perfect the E-Trans System, he could convert mechanical force into nuclear energy! That would mean that at that point, with every fist he issued, he could create power equal to that of nuclear bomb!

In that point in time, he would essentially be a one-man army that no nation could provoke!

…

Dylan approached the now immobile purple beast rankers. He looked down on them like fish on a cutting board while he was the cook who will ruthlessly yet elegantly take their lives.

“My patience is already at its thinnest! Tell where Rose is and die painlessly or do I need to force it out of you. Just so you know, I’m in a seriously foul mood.” Dylan glared at them like the God of Death ready to pass on his judgement.

‘No matter which we choose, he’s still going to kill us. We know his most precious secret so he will eliminate to keep it that way. If we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die as warriors!’ Purple Dragon was gritting his teeth.

He could already move his body well enough to deliver a strike but he was being oppressed by Dylan’s killing intent and lordly aura. He could only lower his head and dare not to look at Dylan’s eyes.

But he steeled his resolve to fight back because he believed that as long as your spirit is unbroken, you still have a chance to live! Upon his decision, he soon found what seemed to be a flaw in Dylan’s Cloak of Death.

He devised a plan, ‘His neck is exposed if I could deliver a blow fast enough to kill him. We could get out of here alive. With my strength, I just need to wait for him to get close enough just one meter is enough!’

His confidence stemmed from his mastery of martial arts reaching Martial Renassence Realm, the realm in which martial arts techniques is integrated to every movement with the maximum power you possess!

The ability to use the Limit Breaking strength of a human to execute martial arts is so strong that dealing with a squad of highly-trained armed soldiers or even yellow masked beasts is possible!

The second that Dylan got closer, Purple Dragon moved and attacked from behind!
