Chapter 213 Liam x Amara
The spy was shocked and angry that he was only allowed to buy 100 spiritual plants despite purchasing the sky-high membership card.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, this is the rule of the shop."
"You can only buy a hundred plants of the same tier per year," the salesperson apologized sincerely.
"But you said earlier that I could buy an unlimited number," the spy insisted.
"This, gentlemen, we are sorry, but it's a misunderstanding," the salesperson apologized again without sincerely.
The earlier play of words was instructed by Lux.
Although this little money was nothing to the top firms, it can disgust the a little bit.
"Then how much is a tier 6 membership card?" The spy asked angrily.
Having already brought the membership card, there is nothing he can do.
Furthermore to buy rare resources, using money is already good enough.
"It would be 100 million."
"So expensive. Then, how much can I buy with that?"
"You can buy a thousand strands of tier 5 spiritual plants and a hundred strands of tier 6 spiritual plants."
"It's indeed a greedy shop," the spy thought gritting his teeth.
"Get me a tier 6 membership card and the corresponding plant," the spy said after thinking.
Although he needed to spend extra money, rare resources were still needed.
After all, even with the big firms behind them, rare resources are rare for a reason.
The other spies from other firms, also bought the membership card while loathing the greediness of the pavilion.
As for the tier 7 membership card, they didn't have the money to buy it.
It cost 10 billion for one, and there is not even a tier 7 rare spiritual plant for sale.
You could only get more quota for low-tier plants.
More importantly, they were only given a budget of a few billion; they couldn't afford it.
Soon the crowd began to calm down, as it seemed that the spiritual plant was inexhaustible.
With tens of thousands of spiritual plants already sold, it seemed that the rare spiritual plant was as common as vegetables.
To achieve this feat, Lux borrowed money to buy the spiritual plants from his cheap father with high interest.
This means all the spiritual plants sold not only earned him money but also cost him.
Fortunately, he could earn a lot for the membership fee and the raw resources.
More importantly, Lux could expand his business and make it more of a household name.
...
In the Shadow Hunter City, Aetherium Guild Headquarters:
The monitoring room was full of jovial energy.
Seeing the success of their operation, they couldn't help but celebrate.
"Guild leader, you should give us a bonus after this," a guild member teased.
"Of course, a bonus is indispensable," Lux nodded wryly, thinking that a bunch of money-grabbers were around him.
However, although Lux was stingy, he still gave all that needed to be given.
After all, if he wanted the horse to run, he needed to provide enough grass and water.
...
In the City of Arcana, Maximus Manor:
While Lux was busy earning money, Maximus and his wives were busy preparing for the wedding.
In only a few days, it would be Liam and Amara's wedding.
As for Nathan and Zoe, it would be next year when they are old enough.
Looking at the festive theme of the Manor Maximus, he couldn't help but smile.
Although it was only a home wedding, the design and theme would not lose to any wedding ceremony.
"Is this fine?" Erica asked, nervous about her son's wedding.
"Don't worry, isn't this much grander than our wedding?" Hazel couldn't help but joke.
Marrying Maximus when he was just a noble, certainly their wedding was not so grand.
"However, for me, it's the most grand wedding," Erica hurriedly refuted.
Being with her husband, there is nothing more she can ask.
"That's right, it's also the most grand for me," Hazel nodded in agreement.
"Weddings have nothing to do with these fancy things; the most important thing is that both partners love each other," Hazel explained.
"I'm just worried that my son won't do well," Erica expressed her concern.
"Don't worry too much; Liam is in our husband's good hands," Hazel comforted.
Looking at their husband teaching Liam the do's and don'ts, they couldn't help but smile.
Such a peaceful and happy family, they couldn't ask for more.
...
A few days later,
The Grand Wedding finally ensued.
All over the manor were their family members, from grandparents, aunties, and uncles to cousins.
There were also Liam's and Amara's friends and classmates.
Although they were not very close towards their classmates, they still talked from time to time.
Inviting them to the wedding was to enliven the event.
When the wedding ceremony was about to begin, Amara looked around anxiously, not seeing her brother.
"Can't find your brother?" Liam asked with a smile.
Looking at his beautiful bride, he didn't want to see her frowning.
"Yeah," Amara nodded.
"He's on the way here; furthermore, you don't have to worry, the wedding ceremony won't start without your brother," Liam comforted.
He was not in a hurry for the wedding; he had a lifetime to be with his wife.
What were a few minutes of waiting?
Soon, as Liam had said, Alistair was guided by the servant puppet inside.
"Brother!" Amara bloomed like a flower with a smile.
"S-sister," Alistair was a little stunned seeing Amara.
It's not that he was dazzled by her beauty, but because a vague figure popped up in his mind.
The Battle Goddess of Nature, Amara, one of the top apex sovereigns in the Nexus Continent.
"It can't be true," Alistair unconsciously thought.
A few years ago, Amara was still too little to show any resemblance.
Furthermore, his memories were still in chaos.
Now, seeing the girl in front of him, whether in physical appearance or name, he couldn't be wrong.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember that this was Amara's wedding.
A battle goddess from the Nexus Continent marrying someone from the Arcane Continent?
This is a humiliation!
Alistair thought of stopping the marriage immediately.
However, just when this thought popped up, a hint of crisis seemed to emerge, freezing him.
"Calm down; don't ruin my son's wedding." A transmission was sent into his mind.
Alistair also calmed down and assessed the situation.
The crisis he felt just now reminded him that he was still a weakling and can't act impulsively.
"Sister, congratulations on your wedding." Alistair smiled widely as if his previous thoughts were an illusion.
Anyway, Amara would be the one to suffer humiliation, not him, Alistair thought.
As for why marrying intercontinentally is considered humiliation?
It's just the mindset of people from the Nexus Continent.
They thought of being partners with people from other continents was a humiliation because they regarded others beside them as weaklings.
They are worried that their genes will pass on to a weak-willed individual, humiliating them in the future.
Such a wild tradition can only be born from the battle continent, the Nexus Continent.
"Then I thank my brother for taking the time for our wedding," Amara smiled, reminiscing about the past.
Thinking of her silly brother who only knew how to swing a sword, and seeing him now, Amara couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect that you would become so strong in just over a decade," Amara commented, sensing Alistair's 6th-tier aura.
By now, they had just reached tier 3.
This is thanks to suppressing their progress to build a deep foundation.
"You're not bad either, sister," Alistair said with a sigh.
Although Amara was only at tier 3, feeling such a deep foundation, Alistair couldn't help but get a little jealous.
This was probably the most solid foundation he had felt in all of his lives, both current and previous.
Such a foundation is what he had strived to have.
Unfortunately, he was dirt poor, unable to guarantee even his training.
Alistair even thought of joining the Origin Arcana Institute like in the old times to solve his urgent need for resources.
However, he stopped; he didn't want anyone to know about his rebirth for now.
The Origin Arcana Institute had a piece of his soul when he enrolled in the beginning of its existence.
Once he joined, it would only be a matter of seconds before the news of his rebirth reached the top figures of this world.
As for how Amara could join without revealing her existence, it's because she didn't study here previously.
Naturally, the institute didn't have a strand of her soul.
As for other identification like name and appearance?
It's not reliable.
Anyone can transmute into whomever they wanted.
Furthermore, with a vast number of population, same appearance and name is not very uncommon.
"By the way, sister, is this your groom?" Alistair shifted the topic.
"Oh, how rude of me. This is my future husband, Liam."
"Liam, you should know my brother, Alistair," Amara grabbed Liam's arm as she introduced him to her brother.
"Nice to meet you, brother-in-law. I'm Liam Shadowcrest." Liam introduced with a smile.
"Nice to meet you," Alistair also smiled as he eyed Liam.
Like Amara, Liam had a very solid foundation, perhaps even more solid.
Seeing this Alistair couldn't help but nod.
People in the Arcane Continent were indeed wealthy, even little children have such a solid foundation.
However, Shadowcrest, where could he have heard that before?
