The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Cough...I'll tell you about them in a way that you can understand easily," Ingeal spoke after a fake cough and smiled, "The first benefit is to help someone breakthrough to the last stage of the Evagon-realm. I won't go into detail about this one benefit since it's too far for the current you."

Ingeal then showed two fingers with a grin, "The second benefit is that this flower will upgrade your inner space like chaos region and give you chaotic space physique. This will make it easier for you to comprehend space order sets of Chaosverse. Once you absorb the benefits of this flower, it will upgrade your inner space such that you will be able to store things like storage rings and other high levels of things inside."

"Chaotic space physique?!" Theo exclaimed since this sounded powerful.

"Don't be mistaken. Although it's an innate physique, it doesn't do anything other than increase your affinity with chaotic space to make it easier for you to comprehend those order sets. Also, only people at Evagon-realm can absorb the power of Neo-vortex flower." Ingeal said.

"Anyway," Ingeal showed three fingers as he continued, "The third and last benefit is that eating this flower will...increase your chances a bit to break through from Evagon-realm and enter the next realm, Chaos Lord-realm."

Lady Fu looked at Athan as she picked up where Ingeal stopped, "And the third benefit is actually the most important one. If Dean Lenix were here, he would also buy the flower from you at any price."

Athan raised his eyebrows at that before he looked at Ingeal and chuckled, "Hahaha, these three benefits don't match the price you stated."

Ingeal laughed like a fox before he said, "If you accepted the deal in the heat of the moment, then I had a way to let you act upon your words forcefully even if you find the true value of the flowers later, but alas,"- Inheal shook his head with regret-, "You didn't take the bait."

"How is that possible?!" Sen was surprised.

Feina snorted and said, "Of course, it's possible. Father can do that with one of his Evagon order spells."

Lady Fu smiled wryly and nodded, "It's possible, so It's a good thing that Athan didn't take the bait."

"Oh? That's interesting. How about you use that so-called spell on me?" Athan said with a grin on his face while curiosity in his eyes.

Lady Fu's expression changed, "Athan, no! These flowers are too important. Don't take such risks."

"Humph, it's fine. Such mind spells won't work on Emperor," Arcued spoke with a snort.

"Emperor?" Lady Fu and others were dumbfounded.

"It's okay, just use it. I want to experience such a high level of power since it's not offensive-type, hehehe," Athan said with a grin.

'Frog in the well,' The staff lady, Hings, and Feina thought as they looked at Athan.

"No, Athan. Please, don't risk these flowers," Lady Fu almost spoke in a nearly pleading way since she also wanted to buy one flower from Athan, and she was willing to lose all of her wealth for that.

"Hahaha, alright. Here I go," Ingeal said as he grinned, "Young man, are you willing to sell those two flowers to me for four hundred thousand chaos-stones?"

Athan faintly smiled and said, "If your spell doesn't work on me, then you will have to give me those four-hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones for free. If you accept this condition, then I will give you my answer to your deal."

Hearing that, Ingeal was slightly stunned before he deeply looked at Athan, 'The aura he is exuding indicates that he is at the peak of orderic catastrophe but...I can't see through him like other ants here. Does he have some artifact on him for that? Never mind, even people at early-stage Evagon-realm can't resist my soul hex spell, so this young man definitely can't as well.'

"Hahaha, Alright. I accept these conditions," Ingeal spoke with a laugh while thinking, 'If he can resist my spell then, hehe, it means that I found one more interesting person that I can work with in the future. Four-hundred high-grade chaos stones is not a huge loss anyway compared to seeing something interesting like that.'

Athan smiled and nodded, "I am willing to sell these flowers to you for four hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones."

Lady Fu sighed and shook her head with disappointment, "The true value of these flowers is far, far higher than measly four hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones."

At this time, Athan felt an invisible force rushing to his mind and soul that overwhelmed him.

When he thought of rejecting the deal, he couldn't do that as he had an intense urge to give the flowers to Ingeal for the price he quoted.

'Master!...'

'it's fine. This spell, it's interesting. It manipulates my thinking and is forcefully making me complete the deal if I think about reneging it. Hehehe, well, but its mystical energy that is interfering with my soul and brain can not resist abyssal darkness.'

At this time, Ingeal started laughing as he took out a storage pouch and gave it to Athan, "Here, take this four-hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones and give me the flowers."

Athan faintly smiled as he took the storage pouch and put it inside his void region.

He then grabbed the two Neo-vortex flowers and stretched his hand towards Ingeal.

Ingeal wore a big smile while Hings and Feina looked at each other with excitement since they got such a legendary thing at a low price.

Lady Fu saw Ingeal stretching his hand to take the flower as they disappeared from Athan's hand.

Seeing that, she sighed and felt a heavy loss in her heart along with slight anger, 'How can he be so stupid? Sigh...what a big loss.'

But she soon noticed that the big smile on Ingeal's face was turning stiff before it became ugly.

Ingeal corrected his expression as he spoke with a grimace, "Young man, what do you mean by that?"

Athan faintly smiled and said, "Thanks for the free four hundred high-grade chaos stones. I will make sure that we splurge it for utmost enjoyment,"-Snapping his finger, Athan grinned-, "Now let's talk about the real deal for Neo-vortex flowers."
