Luther Carden said with a faint smile, “That’s the reason.” “Leave this matter to me.
I’ll handle the specifics with the Virtual Spirit Association.
The resources needed for just a few tens of millions of people won’t even make a dent in the daily transactions between the Cosmos Bank and the Virtual Spirit Association!” Atreus Burnett was very confident. As the head of the Cosmos Bank, he had access to all the core information. The Cosmos Bank was spread across 10,008 realms of the human race, with each stellar realm containing tens of thousands to millions of galaxies. There were countless life planets and cultivators.
The Cosmos Bank had a presence in every corner of the human race’s territory. Given this, the daily trading volume of the Virtual Spirit Association and the Cosmos Bank’s funds were incredibly vast. Ordinary people had no idea of the scale.
Atreus was confident that the resources needed for tens of millions of cultivators would barely affect the Cosmos Bank’s daily operations.
“Brother,” Atreus said to Braydon Neal, “not just 50 million people, but even the resources for 500 million or 5 billion wouldn’t cause a stir in the Cosmos Bank’s daily bills.
The scale is enormous!” Luther agreed, adding, “The Northern Stellar Realm alone has 36,000 galaxies.
Countless cultivators use the Cosmos Bank, making the daily activity incredibly high.” “This is a simple task for you, but remember to notify Hristo Lore within a month to take out the black-robed ancestor and the peak experts close to him.” Braydon’s eyes flashed with killing intent. The people of the Northern Army were not surprised; this was typical of his ruthless nature.
“If we launch an attack, Zachary…” Atreus began to say anxiously.
“Don’t underestimate the demons or overestimate Zachary.
Since the demons are making a move, they won’t just target Zachary alone.
They won’t suspect only one or two people.” As he spoke, Braydon tossed something to Atreus.
Atreus didn’t have time to examine it. He said thoughtfully, “Zachary isn’t the only person the demons are investigating.
There are other targets as well?” “Zachary is just the beginning.
The real trouble will come later.
When it comes to dirty work, this guy is the best.” Hendrix Bailey made a face, signaling Luther.
“This is all thanks to Big Brother,” Luther said with a shrug.
Westley Hader and the others smiled upon hearing this. If Braydon’s ruthlessness wasn’t kept in check, even they would sometimes be afraid.
They recalled that when they were young and the Northern Army was gaining power, Braydon had asked someone to deliver a secret letter from the commander to the capital. He had insisted that only one person could see it.
That person was his teacher, Martial Emperor Yanagi.
After Martial Emperor Yanagi read the letter, he broke into a cold sweat and urgently summoned the Northern King to the capital. Braydon didn’t go to the capital himself; he simply said, “If Teacher doesn’t agree, then forget it.” Even this brief statement caused the capital to be on edge for half a year.
When Westley and the others learned about the letter, they were shocked. The letter detailed how the Northern Army had grown strong and how the eight countries of the northern territory had been invading their borders, resulting in countless deaths. It was time to collect on those debts.
Braydon, though young, was bold. He proposed a plan to the capital: the Northern Army would cross the border and destroy the eight countries. Regardless of morality, conscience, or the future, the current goal was to eliminate every citizen of the eight countries.
He wiped out the eight nations in a single battle, resolving the border issue entirely.
In the end, the capital summoned the Northern King to the capital overnight, but he didn’t dare to act. There were over a hundred million people in the eight countries. Killing them all would be an immense atrocity, drawing severe condemnation.
Later, Luther told Braydon that if there was no more war in the northern territory, there would be no need for the Northern Army. With the eight countries gone, the Northern Army would be secure. Conversely, the Northern Army might not last long.
With the foreign threats eliminated, there was no need for the northern territory to maintain millions of elite troops. The people in the capital would likely try to find ways to weaken the Northern Army. With Braydon’s prestige, he could hold them off for a while, but it was tough to fend off those constantly scheming to break it apart.
As a result, the matter remained unresolved. However, the Northern Army sons had all seen their eldest brother’s sole battle report to the capital—the secret letter. If Braydon had followed the instructions, there was a 90% chance of annihilating the eight countries and ensuring their citizens could not escape death. Braydon had been ruthlessly decisive back then, and that nature was only hidden now.
Braydon’s ruthless streak was apparent only to Luther. The growth of the Northern Army sons was deeply influenced by their brother; in fact, much of their personality came from him. The only exception was Little Fool.
Before Atreus left, he opened the item Braydon had given him. It turned out to be an ancient book with the title “Nine Prefectures Record” written in large characters. Everyone turned to look at it in unison.
“This…” Atreus was stunned.
“Only those at the peak can truly master this.
I don’t have anything special, so I’m giving this to you.
If you reach the peak, I’ll offer you a great opportunity,” Braydon had said.
Atreus’s eyes filled with tears. He hadn’t expected such a generous gift. The Nine Prefectures Record was the essence of Braydon’s cultivation, containing all his path knowledge. Mastering it would mean reaching Braydon’s level.
Colton Jansky, hands in his pockets, said nonchalantly, “Don’t get too excited.
This thing is extremely difficult to cultivate.
In my previous life, I taught my brothers step by step, but each of us only managed to learn 20-30%.” That was a bucket of cold water. But Atreus wasn’t discouraged; he understood that mastering the Nine Prefectures Record was not something to be rushed.
Otherwise, how could Atreus be confident about mastering everything when even the five lords had only grasped twenty to thirty percent of it back then? This was a clear reminder that understanding the Nine Prefectures Record had to be done gradually.
Atreus carefully put away the Nine Prefectures Record, bowed, cupped his hands, and then left. After departing from Planet 003, he returned to Planet 008, the headquarters of the Cosmos Bank. Normally, the people who frequented the headquarters were high-ranking officials, but today, many prominent figures were gathered there—more than ten peak experts—all waiting for Atreus to arrive.
As soon as he returned, Chadwick Neal stood up and asked, “Atreus, what’s going on?” “Let’s make a deal!” Atreus replied, turning his attention to a person in the room. The young man in a white robe, with an ancient look in his eyes and the Virtual Spirit Association’s emblem prominently displayed, was someone Atreus had a very close relationship with. He was also the president of the Virtual Spirit Association.
“What deal?” asked the chief of the Foreman lineage.
“Taarank, I need your help to transfer a batch of items to the Northern Army.
I’ll send you the detailed list later,” Atreus said, bypassing the chiefs and addressing the young man in the robe directly.
