Lightning Is the Only Way

Stella and Liam inspected the building with curious eyes.

"It looks professional," Stella said.

Liam nodded. When Gravis was around, he didn't talk much.

Gravis smiled widely. "10% of every trade goes to you," he says.

Liam frowned. "Only 10%?" he asked.

"We will be dealing with big customers," Gravis said as he smiled at Liam. "Every trade will go into the tens of millions Immortal Stones. Just by talking a little bit, you can earn a couple million Immortal Stones, and that's it. You don't even need to do anything else. We don't even need multiple people on one side. You can simply decide amongst yourself who is going to deal with the customers while the other one does whatever they want."

Liam still wasn't happy. "But you will be earning much more," he said.

Gravis rolled his eyes. "You are only officially an employee. You are still basically my brother-in-law, so I will obviously give you money when you need it."

Liam looked at Stella and saw that she didn't even react when Gravis called Liam brother-in-law.

This meant that Stella was all-in on Gravis, and Liam had to sigh.

"Fine," he said.

"Oh, wait a sec," Gravis said.

SHING!

Gravis suddenly took out Arc's emblem and broke it, vanishing instantly.

Stella and Liam furrowed their brows.

SHING!

However, Gravis returned in just a couple of seconds.

"Mortis just arrived in Arc's clearing, and I had to give him my Life Ring so that he could get your last colleague, Siral," Gravis said.

Stella and Liam had heard about Mortis and Siral, but they hadn't met them yet.

They didn't really care about Siral since he was basically just Gravis' slave, but they wanted to meet Mortis.

However, it would take a while for Mortis to arrive with Siral, so Gravis decided to begin teaching Stella and Liam about how to conduct business.

Liam and Stella knew some of the concepts, but they had never truly traded with anyone. Why would they? The Nine Elements Sect had always given them everything they needed.

Gravis showed them around and quickly transmitted a ton of concepts about how to conduct business into their minds.

The Spirits of Immortal Kings were supremely powerful, and learning something like this was easy for them.

How could learning a bit about trade compare to high-level Laws?

Business was complex to mortals but easy to Immortals.

It only took two hours until Liam and Stella basically knew everything there was to know about running a business and dealing with customers.

"I will do the initial trade," Gravis said. "After all, we need to use my remaining hundred million Immortal Stones well to give the Gravitas a good start."

Liam huffed. Did Gravis think that Liam couldn't deal with customers?
