Tower Ascension - Chapter 73

Hearing his words, Peter clenched his fist. At this moment, his stone heart directly acted and stopped all of his rages. Unlike his Mind of a Hero, his Stone Heart focuses more on strength. If Peter is capable of defeating his opponent, he doesn’t control Peter’s emotions instead adds some into it.

Stone Heart was the reason why Peter was dead set on killing Morgan otherwise he could’ve simply ignored it after the warning from Council. But, his Stone Heart forced him to take action by increasing the killing intent in his mind.

He found he can’t control his Mind of a Hero or Stone Heart but he can bring a balance in these two. Of course, only when one of another tries to fight back. In the previous case, his Mind of a Hero didn’t show up. And, so his mind was completely overwhelmed by the killing intent.

He took a deep breath and stared at the chairman. He knew the chairman must want something from him. And, his guess was the potion. Because this is the only thing that could possibly attract the supreme like chairman to discuss the terms with him.

After all, the council is the top powerhouse of the world and the chairman was the man controlling the council.

“Then, I wondered what does chairman wants from me,” Peter asked as he stared at the chairman for a moment. He didn’t want to be rude but he was trying to pry deeper into the chairman’s intention.

The chairman looked at him and smiled “This shouldn’t be something hard for you especially when you can already do it. It’s just that you need to improve and make a better product. Yes, I am talking about potions. We need potions that can affect even supreme.”

“We have already tested your other potions and from all the research, we have found there one of hundred chances that a person can advance to the higher rank. With the proper amount of potions, we can push Half-Supreme to Supreme, raising the number of Supremes.”

“And, once we have that lead, we can lead the Supremes to the Divine Rank. If we produce nearly a thousand Supremes, we could make at least one to ten Divine Rank. That’s why we need your help. If you can provide us with such potions, we will keep your family safe while providing other benefits such as a higher level of shares of the council, full support from the council, and even the promotions for your potions.”

“There are more than a billion people living in this world. Not more than a million have bought your potions. But if we promote your potions, more than hundreds of millions of people will buy your potions. We can also add other benefits while making the contract but before that, I want to know your answers.”

“Can you or will you make such potions for the council?”

Faced with such a question, Peter hesitated. Camellia stared at Peter’s as well. She was wondering if Peter will cooperate with the council. And, she doesn’t even know whether he is capable of producing such a potion.

For her, even to reach the Supreme is already stunning, surpassing it is nothing she could think of. That’s why she wasn’t sure whether to trust the council or not. Besides, she has never heard about the Divine Rank.

The chairman also saw that look on her face and smiled “Anyone except for the Supreme knows nothing about this. This matter is something that has been kept to the secret for a reason.”

Hearing his words, Camellia was slightly startled but she quickly nodded her head. If it is something that no one except Supreme knows then how could she learn about it when her family is simply good because of its wealth?

Peter also thought for a moment. He found this matter confusing. If there was a divine rank in the cultivator, why didn’t he enslave or do anything bad to the humans? Was it because he was compassionate?

Peter doesn’t believe it. If he was compassionate, he would’ve helped other humans. But, he didn’t. So, why can’t he come out for two more years? Adding it to the previous eighteen years, it would be twenty years.

So for twenty years, he can’t come out. There are only two reasons that Peter could think of. There is a rank beyond Divine which is not impossible since he has seen the tower itself. So, that man could’ve found a powerful inheritance and tried to reach a higher realm.

This could possible. As for the second reason, he must be injured during the battle. And, it could take him twenty years to recover. Although why exactly twenty years? Was it just a coincidence or is it something even worse?

No matter what it might be, his reasons only made things worst. He deeply considered both reasons. But, mid-way, he gave up. He has no reason to give more thoughts on this. After all, if he reaches the third or fourth, or even fifth floor, he would get stronger than them.

And, that’s all he needs to think of. Because thinking deeper into this matter will only make him depressed. Instead, he must look at things with positivity. At least, this is what he told himself before calming down

After a long staring match with the chairman, he took a deep breath and spoke “Chairman, I can agree to improve the potion. In fact, I always wanted to improve it. But, there is one thing that I must carefully warn you.”

“Don’t mess with my family! They are everything to me. If you think they are my weakness, then, believe me, you are hundred percent wrong. After all, we have come to a certain term and now we are allies. So, I don’t want to kill my allies.”

As he spoke, Peter sneered at his heart. Confidence, yes now he was confident. Because if the chairman also agrees, this man will be his allies. And once his allies betray him, his powers will multiply by five times.

He doesn’t believe he can’t kill Supreme with that much strength. Of course, the more times he gets, the easier it will be for him. After all, he can improve faster than others with the help of the tower. That’s why he wasn’t worried too much either.

Hearing his words, the chairman narrowed his eyes. He felt the threat from Peter’s words but he felt something deeper meaning in it. It was probably something only a few people can understand. Peter was trying to make conflict.

‘Is he testing me? Or, does he have another trump card? But, Nolan should have appeared in the life-threatening moment. Or, did Nolan make a mistake? I guess, it can be possible considering Peter is his disciple.’

The chairman thought for a long time and answered “Peter, you have forgotten one thing. Unless you truly touch our reserve scale, we won’t make a move. We are Supreme. We have our own pride.”

He didn’t continue with that but he didn’t hide his pride. As a supreme, unless he is forced to, he won’t take such a path. Every supreme has arrogance but their arrogance is still backed by their strength.

Peter nodded his head and suddenly a figure opened the door and walked in. When Peter turned his head, he found it was none other than Nolan. But, he had a few scars around his body and a few bruises.

“It seems he is going to sprint in the Divine Realm soon.” Nolan opened his mouth and delivered the words that nobody in this room wanted to hear. As soon as he heard that, the chairman had an ugly expression on his face.

But, Nolan turned his head at Peter and smiled “It seems you are growing too fast. Hahaha! I am waiting for the day when you surpass me.”

Hearing his words, Peter rolled his eyes. Of course, he can surpass Nolan but does Nolan really wants that? He doesn’t think so. How could he let anyone else surpass him? But, even so, he would be proud of Peter surpasses himself.

After all, Peter is his disciple. Peter sighed and took out two healing potions. He didn’t give the healing potions to Anne because her injuries were due to the deprivation of her blood. And, it couldn’t be healed with the healing potion.

Nolan took the healing potion and looked at it with curiosity. While he looked there, Peter explained “I found a new monster beast that can heal himself. Taking its talent, I was able to create a potion that can heal others.”

“I still haven’t found a replaceable alternative for the other ingredients so I can’t mass produce this. But, once I succeed, I will add this to my company.”

Hearing his words, Nolan and the chairman, and even Camellia looked at the potion with wide eyes. They knew about Peter’s talent. If he could produce things like this, then there would be fewer casualties in any battle.

Nolan and the chairman’s eyes sparkled as they stared at Peter.
