The Rich Cultivator-Chapter 36. A Bet

"Boss, the thing you asked about is in a nearby city. I already asked them to deliver it here." Manager Mei entered the room and said.

"Wow.. lucky. I hope it will work." Tyler said.

"Boss White, those merchants don’t dare to sell fake products to us." Manager Mei said confidentiality.

Tyler just nodded. But he didn’t explain.

Seeing that Manager Mei is not moving, Tyler looked at her.

"Is there anything else?" Tyler asked.

"About Zi Long, He might get executed tomorrow." Manager Mei said.

"Don’t worry. I have a plan. As the owner of White Auction Hall and also as disciple of Frozen Heart Sect I will appear on the execution ground. Meng Wuya has a face of course." Tyler said as he got everything under his palm.

The truth is Tyler totally forgot about Zi Long because of his new dragon Zuzia. Because of that most of his plan had to be skipped. In truth he himself didn’t know if everything was going according to plan.

Next day

Most of the people in the city are moving towards the city centre. Because today is the day of the execution of the Former Genius of the Zi Clan , Zi Long.

Meng Wuya, donned in golden robes, is standing near the tied up Zi Long. Weiwei is also standing near Zi Long. She is looking at the crowd as if she is waiting for someone.

Meng Wuya has only one thought in mind and that is to execute Zi Long. So he didn’t notice Weiwei’s abnormalities.

Soon the crowd filled. It was Mid afternoon. Meng Wuya ordered his men to execute Zi Long.

"Wait." A loud noise resonated. It was like someone is using sound amplification Talisman.

Tyler walked out the crowd calmly. But his expression changed when he saw that the executioner didn’t care about his voice. And still proceeding his job by raising his axe.

The executioner’s whole body turned into ice as he froze in place.

"I told you to wait, Bruh." Tyler said as he leaped on the platform.

Four Early Foundation Building Realm Cultivators jumped along with Tyler as his bodyguard. The last thing he lacks is money so he hired some guards just for today.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling with Meng clan business?" Meng Wuya asked with an angry expression on his face. A Qi Refining Realm cultivator with four Foundation Building Realm Bodyguards must be someone with a big background. He proceeded with caution.

"Master White." Zi Long looked at Tyler in surprise and his eyes became teary. Even though he sold Tyler out, he came to help him at his difficult time. This made Zi Long feel even guilty and regret.

"Master White?" Meng Wuya tilted his head.

"Zi Long is a servant disciple of my Frozen Heart Sect. And he works for me there. So obviously I have the right to intervene." Tyler said calmly.

"This is our personal vendetta. Please don’t stand in our way." Meng Wuya warned him. He is a little more cautious because of the name Frozen Heart Sect.

"But Zi Long owes me Hundred Thousand spirit stones. You can kill him. But remember to pay me back." Tyler simply said.

"Hundred thousand?" Even Zi Long is shocked.

"I don’t believe your nonsense. How could you have that much money? How could you simply lend that much money to a servant?" Meng Wuya gnashed his teeth.

"Answer for your first question is - The last thing I lack is money. I have another identity other than being a Frozen Heart Sect disciple. I am the owner of White Auction Hall." Tyler said.

Gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd. Weiwei’s eyes shined. But she quickly remembered how he rejected her. Her eyes became dull. She let out a sigh inwardly.

Meng Wuya is taken back by the answer.

"Second is - He borrowed a natural treasure from me which skyrocketed his realm from cripple to Fifth Stage of Qi Refining Realm." Tyler said.

Zi Long mouth twitched, the one who helped him fix his broken spiritual roots is Yu Meixue. But he didn’t say anything.

While Meng Wuya was in dilemma, Tyler opened his mouth again.

"Ok I will not make difficult for you. How about this? Suppress your realm into the Fifth Stage of Qi Refining Realm and fight Zi Long. If you win you can take his head and also 10% of my profit from my White Auction Hall for next ten years." Tyler said.

Meng Wuya’s eyes shined. White Auction Hall is already famous in many cities. It is even popular In his city. So getting 10% for the next 10 years is a good bargain.

"But If you lose, I want 10% from every mined Wind Crystals from the deposit for the next 10 years." Tyler said.

Both of them agreed for the match.

Tyler then brought a small contract and both of them signed it. He then went to Zi Long and his servant from the crowd entered and United Zi Long.

Zi Long was grateful to Tyler so he kept thanking him. They left the city centre. According to agreement, the fight will take place in a few hours in the same place. Meng Wuya didn’t doubt that Zi Long would run away.

Tyler and Zi Long left , the people in the square are looking forward to the confrontation. Some people in the crowd who are from the Zi family were confused. They decided to ambush Meng Wuya but things turned differently, so they silently left to meet with Zi Long.

After entering his White Auction Hall, Tyler ordered the Manager to arrange a medical checkup for Zi Long.

Manager Mei informed Tyler that the item he is looking for has arrived from the nearby city. Tyler then meets a man who is covered with dust who is here to deliver his package.

Tyler took the package from him before commenting, "It looks like you almost got robbed."

The man replied, "Oh no, in fact, just now I walked many miles over rugged terrain as I climbed over rocks and trees. I also waded along the edges of a lake, pushing my way through tall thistles, and even slid down sandy slopes while getting sand in my eyes."

Tyler was confused and asked "Well, you like adventuring? I mean there is a normal path connected between this city and the neighbouring city, right?"

The man scratched his head in embarrassment and replied, "Not really, I just get lost easily."

Tyler, "..."

"But don’t worry. I only get lost on the way to my destination, not the destination itself. I always arrive at my destination faster." He smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Tyler received the package and paid him some money. The delivery man smiled before jumping out of the window. He jumped out of the top floor. Tyler looked outside the window in shock.

The man who fell stood up and looked at Tyler and said, "Hehehe, I just got lost and forgot that there is a door. But it doesn’t matter. I am ok." He smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Well there are many different characters in the world." Tyler just mumbled and closed his doors and activated the formation.

Then he opened the package. Inside the package is a small brochure. This brochure is a shape shifting brochure used for disguising. He activated the brochure and he looked like a Priscilla. But people above his realm are able to easily notice him. He didn’t care, he just wanted to test something.

Tyler released Zuzia and activated the brochure. The light shined and it turned into a cat, but the brochure broke in a second. Zuzia tilted her head in confusion.

"As expected it didn’t work." Tyler studied some things about mythical beasts before. According to the information, it is difficult to use normal disguise techniques to disguise a beast.

"Looks like you have to stay inside the ring." He stroked Zuzia’s head and she affectionately rubbed his hand. Then he stored her inside his ring.

Manager Mei gave Zi Long A low grade Spear and a low grade armour. It will be very helpful for the upcoming battle.

Zi Long looked at Manager Mei and said , "Can I Ask you something?"

Tyler then entered the room and looked at Zi Long who was hugging the Manager Mei.

"What the-" Tyler suddenly shouted. But looking at the teary eyes of both Tyler understood.

"No wonder Manager Mei was so attentive in Zi Long’s matter. You are Zi Long’s mom. Madam Zi, right? " Tyler said.

"As expected, Boss White. You noticed." Manager Mei smiled and bowed to Tyler, "Thank you for taking care of Little Long."

"I am more surprised that the Meng Family failed to notice you." Tyler couldn’t help but ask.

"Those idiots have no idea how Madam Zi looks. I used to cover my face in a veil everytime when I was Madam Zi." Manager Mei replied.

Tyler just nodded. He doesn’t know what to say. Tyler took a small bracelet embodied with formation and gave it to Zi Long. This is a type of artefact that will boost his power a little.

Zi long thanked him again and left for the training room.

Tyler then looked at the Manager Mei and said, " If I help you get the city back. Can I get 20% of the mined Wind Crystal?"
