Lightning Is the Only Way

"You can come in!" the Economistress said with a bright smile.

Master Linus' perception entered the Opposer's room again, and he saw the Economistress happily smiling at him.

"Thank you," he said before teleporting into the room.

Master Linus was quite nervous. Looking into the Opposer's room was one thing, but entering it was something completely different.

"Just ignore him!" the Economistress said with a bright smile. "Just treat him as some kind of ugly decoration."

Master Linus didn't dare to answer.

The Economistress pulled him over and served him some tea.

Gravis looked at his mother with a suspicious glance. His mother was a very social person, but she was acting a bit too nice right now.

"Are you happy that you have less competition?" Gravis asked.

"Of course!" the Economistress said with a bright smile. "With him gone, my forging company can expand even more!"

'Knew it,' Gravis thought.

Master Linus only chuckled a bit. "Sorry about that," he said.

"It's fine," the Economistress said. "If I could dominate everything without a fight, it would be boring. It's just a competition."

"I'm happy that you won't forge for the public anymore, but on the other hand, it's also a bit sad to lose such an opponent. Our ongoing fight about money and customers has given me some memorable experiences," she said.

Master Linus chuckled again. "Well, it wasn't fun for me. Finding companies willing to sell their ore to me was far too troublesome, and I had to pay them far too much for what they had given me. I'm glad that these days are behind me now."

"But honestly, I think I actually have to thank you," Master Linus said. "In a way, you have constantly put me under suppression with your offensive towards my business. Without that, the four Law Comprehension Life Fruits might not have been enough for me to comprehend the True Law of Suppression."

THWACK!

"Hands off! That tea isn't for you!" the Economistress suddenly shouted with an aggressive tone as she slapped a black hand away.

The Black Magnate only looked at the Economistress with a grimace. "Hey, am I not also a guest? Why don't I get some tea?"

"You? A guest? You might as well be a freeloader! You keep living here without paying rent! You should count yourself lucky that I haven't already thrown you out!" the Economistress angrily shouted.

The Black Magnate wanted to retort, but in the end, he decided against it.
