《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 354: One Emperor (1)
Advertisement
"Okay... So we got to take over the territory of the other emperors. But how?" Yu Zhung asked Arnold.
Arnold, Yu Zhung, Talos, and Devon were inside a makeshift meeting room within the mansion Arnold had acquired from his generous uncle. Who for the rest of the world was a trip around the globe along with his son. When in reality they were the ones doing household stuff around the mansion under Yan's commands.
It had been a week since Arnold took his revenge on his uncle and cousin. However, not much had happened during the week. Except for the fact that Arnold and his summons were clearing every single dungeon that popped up within their territory like crazy. So far they had cleared more than 50 dungeons among which were 4 S ranked, 13 A ranked, 21 B ranked and 17 C ranked dungeons.
Surprisingly, Arnold wasn't doing it all just to replenish the Beast Crystals used to evolve his summons. Instead, he was busy collecting monster corpses along with their crystals for an entirely different purpose.
With the help of Yu Zhung, he had been selling half of those corpses to international buyers in the black market. While the rest of them were kept in the vault to become Yan's undead soldiers. Then he spent the money on buying essential resources that he and Devon required to make something to cause havoc all over China. Except for Shanghai and its surrounding area.
Moreover, The crystal he earned from the dungeons were used for a variety of purposes. One of which was to evolve Yan and Ogur, the chieftain of the Frost Giants he had killed back in Jotunheim or whatever that place was.
While there wasn't a significant increase in Yan's stats after his evolution, he still managed to evolve to Cosmic C rank from Cosmic D. Sadly, it still wasn't enough to raise the Giants as his undead. So Arnold asked Talos to just resurrect only the dungeon boss while leaving the remaining giants untouched. Arnold wasn't going to waste his precious slots on making elite summons out of 5 giants, apart from Ogur.

After being resurrected, Ogur went crazy like most of the resurrected beings did. Thankfully, Arnold managed to tame the beast in no time. the then erratic giant was now as docile as Cerberus.
However, unlike Yan, Ogur showed a significant increase in his stats just by evolving once. He was by far stronger than Talos and Grock, who shared the same rank with Ogur. The only summon stronger than Ogur was Tiamut. But evolving Ogur proved to be more demanding than all of his summons combined. After all, he used up more than half of Arnold's beast crystal reserves to evolve.

But the results were good hence Arnold wasn't going to complain about it. He could always replenish his stock of crystals. After all, there was no scarcity of dungeons in China and most of them had anywhere from 200 to 1500 beast crystals to offer. That considering the rate at which they were clearing dungeons, was already more than sufficient for Arnold to earn a ridiculous amount of crystals.
"Well, let's just say Devon and I are preparing a special gift for each of the emperors," Arnold replied to Yu Zhung, "But preparation for the gift is taking longer than predicted because even though we want to cause havoc to make the emperors submit, I don't want the innocents to lose their lives in the process."

"You people keep saying you'll use chaos and havoc to make the Emperors submit." Yu Zhung let out a heavy sigh, "But how are you planning to do that? All of the Emperors have absolute control over their territory. It won't be easy for anyone to cause unnecessary drama there."
"Who said I'll be the one to cause drama there?" Arnold smiled and so did Devon.
On the other hand, Yu Zhung was confused, "What do you mean? You'll have to be there to subdue them by force, won't you? But then I guess you could send your summons out as well."
"Well you're not completely wrong," Devon answered, "The summons would be going to the different regions, but they won't be the ones to cause havoc there. They'll only carry the key that would open the path to pandemonium."
Arnold could see that Zhung was getting a bit frustrated by then, so he decided to elaborate on what Devon said by a bit.
"What he's trying to say is, my summons won't even lift a finger against the Emperors. Instead, they'll cause a dungeon break. The monsters coming out of the dungeon would do the rest for us."
Yu Zhung was in disbelief. He had heard a fair amount of absurd claims, but this was way more absurd than anything else. It was the first time in his life Yu Zhung had heard about someone intentionally causing a dungeon break. He didn't even know it was possible in the first place.
"Is that even... possible?" Yu Zhung mumbled to himself.
"Believe me, if I had not seen it myself, I won't believe it either," Arnold assured the swordsman that what he was telling him was the truth, "You see, Tiamut came out from one such dungeon herself."
"Master is correct. It is completely possible to intentionally cause a dungeon break if you have the right tools for it." Even if Yu Zhung had doubts over Arnold's words, he could completely trust Talos, because he simply never lied. Although at that moment, Yu Zhung had his doubts even on Talos.
"But... how?"
"Please allow me to explain," Devon said with a smile on his face, "I assume you are aware of what Xenoic energy is?"
From then on, it took Devon an hour to explain the working of the device he was creating along with Arnold and Talos. But Yu Zhung didn't understand a word that came out of Devon's scientific mouth, as usual.

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
