Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had everything already planned out.

First, purchase some weapon forging techniques from the humans with Immortal Stones.

Second, sell these weapon forging techniques to the beasts for ore and Law Comprehension Fruits.

Third, sell these ores and Law Comprehension Fruits to humans for Immortal Stones.

Then, everything would repeat itself from the beginning.

This plan required some initial capital, but after that, basically everything would pay for itself.

Gravis would only need to look on as Siral, Stella, and Liam sold the stuff.

Of course, his employees wouldn't do this for free. Every employee of his would get to keep 10% of any trade. The profit margin was far, far more than just a mere 10%, which was why Gravis could be so generous with his pay.

All of his employees would earn a ton of money by only talking to some people and beasts.

Of course, Gravis couldn't let Liam and Stella trade with the beasts. After all, they were humans.

Yet, it was something different with Siral.

Siral was also a human, but he was under the control of Gravis' Life Ring. As long as he let the beasts feel his mind, they would be able to see that he was fiercely loyal to Gravis, who basically counted as a beast in the beasts' minds.

Even better, the profit margin was so absolutely gigantic that, even when Gravis sold the wares for a multiple of their purchasing price, the beasts and humans would still feel like they would be making a bargain.

The beasts would see the effect that weapons and armor would have on their frontlines.

The humans would get supremely expensive ores for weapons.

The weapon was the most important thing for Weapon Cultivators, and there was never enough ore to go around.

Of course, explaining Gravis' business strategy was far easier than putting it into practice. There were a lot of minor details that could break one's back if one didn't know what they were doing.

However, who was Gravis, or more accurately, who were Gravis' parents?

The Opposer and the Economistress.

The Opposer definitely wouldn't be a help with running a business, but the Economistress...

Who could run a business better than her?

Gravis had learned a ton about how to run a business from his mother when he had originally created the Gravitas in Opposer City.

Gravis would have no problems with making the business flourish.

Gravis couldn't stop smirking as he saw that his plan was about to become a reality. 'Hah, I can already hear the inner thoughts of all the unaffiliated Cultivators.'

'Why would I run a business when I can just kill a Cultivator for all their wealth? Others work their asses off while I just take money.'

Gravis' smirk only widened as he imagined how these thoughts rushed through some random Cultivator's mind.
