chapter-671
After meeting the Istarin Empire, Felix did not immediately leave the Capital of the Azure City. Since this was his first time in the Capital of the Mighty Istarin Empire, Felix felt that he should use this chance to explore this beautiful city. The Capital had a ton of amazing things to offer.
Right now, Felix and Eloise are having lunch together.
"Congraulations, Felix. I won't lie, I am really happy that everyone went in your favor." Eloise said as he poured wine for Felix. His words were a mix of sincerity and flattery.
Felix knew that Eloise was constantly trying to flatter him. Felix did not mind. Flattery was the common thing in the upper society. Now Eloise was flattering Felix. But before Felix was flattering Aditya.
"Thank you," Felix said as he picked up the wine glass.Felix is very happy today. 190 Billion gold coins was a huge amount. If everything went according to his plan, then he was going to become super rich.
'This money is going to help me a lot in my future plans.' Felix thought while taking a sip of the red wine.
'I need to increase the production of weapons.'
"Felix, I have always admired you. In the world of merchant, you always have been my role model." Felix smiled hearing and said nothing else in response. He knew that Eloise was just flattering him.
But who doesn't like to hear sweet words about themselves?
"You're the best merchant in the whole Dying Isle Continent."
"I don't think that's true. Even though I really want to be at the top, there's someone else in the Dying Isle Continent who deserves that place more than I do." Felix has been a merchant for a long time. But that person hadn't been a merchant for no less than 15 years yet she stood at the very top. Her position at the very top was undeniable and unquestionable. It was a fact that everyone had to accept regardless of whether someone liked her or not."Who is this person?" Eloise asked curiously.
"You know this person."
"Everyone knows her."
"She is known by all as 'The Goddess of Wealth'."
"And as long as she is in this continent, I can never be at the top. The number one position would always belong to her and no one else." Felix really respected and even admired Alicia as a merchant.
Eloise could feel the respect that Felix had for Alicia in his voice.
"Although I don't know much about Her but I do know that She is engaged to the Emperor of the Istarin Empire," Eloise added. When he and others learned that she was engaged to Aditya, they were shocked to their cores.
For a long time, they were unable to believe it.
"I heard that when the Goddess of Wealth was just 7 years of age, she was so smart that she could calculate very complex mathematics within a very few seconds. It is widely believed that no one in this world is better at mathematics or calculations than her." Felix continued as he took another sip of wine.
"I don't know if it's true or not but I have heard that she has started her business Empire with just 10 gold coins. When she started, she did not use her identity as the Princess. Instead, she disguised her identity and built her business Empire with the identity of a commoner. And so she has so many businesses that her worth is unknown. But it is widely accepted that she is the richest merchant in the whole world. She has more wealth than any other Empire."
Scene Change_______
Achoo...!!!
"Who is talking about me?" Alicia asked out loud while rubbing the bottom of her nose.
"It must be Aditya...!!" Alicia said with a happy smile.
"What are you saying? Do you still believe in such nonsense?" Sylvie asked Alicia. She couldn't believe that despite growing up, her best friend still believed in superstition.
In this world, children are told by their parents, neighbors, relatives, and all adults that if you're sneezing it means someone is talking about you. This was one of the many superstitions of this world. Different cultures have different types of superstitions.
"Yeah.....Yeah.....whatever you say....!!" Alicia rolled her eyes at Sylvie and went back to work.
Sylvie was sitting opposite Alicia and was also doing some work.
"Honestly, sometimes, I ask myself, what is the purpose behind all of this work that we are doing right now?" Sylvie suddenly asked this question.
This question made Alicia also stop and ponder about it. "I mean, we are immortal beings. Sooner or later, you will also reach Peak 5th order. And one day, both of us will reach higher orders. What I am trying to say is that if we do everything now then in a few hundred years later, we won't have anything to do."
"I mean, look at you. You love making money. You love building new businesses and expanding them. You love challenges."
"Yeah, I love challenges. This is why, I am constantly moving from one field to another field and constantly expanding my business empire." Alicia excitedly said.
"You already have 100s of different kinds of companies. Some of which I don't even know about it." Sylvie said seriously. To which, Alicia just smiled and said nothing.
"Even though you're so young, you already have accomplished so much. If you keep working at this rate, in a few hundred years, all kinds of businesses in the six continents might be under your control. When that happens, what are you going to do then? At that time, you have already occupied all kinds of niches out there. What are you going to do then?" Sylvie asked Alicia a very complex and complicated question.
Alicia became silent for a few seconds before she looked out of the window and replied. "I have no plans of dominating all types of businesses in the future."
"With given time, I am confident that I could create a business Empire that is so strong and flexible that no Empire or Empires even if they come together would be able to do anything to my Business Empire. But if I reach the top, then what I am going to do next? Suddenly things will become very boring for me."
"So once I have accomplished my personal goals, I will focus on my relationship with Aditya." Before meeting Aditya, Alicia's goal was never to get married. Alicia wished to continue building her business empire. But meeting Aditya had changed her.
Alicia had a very bright smile on her face as she continued. "One day, we will get married." Hearing these words and seeing the bright, dazzling smile on her face, Sylvie felt a hint of envy and jealousy in her heart. She quickly buried that feeling.
"After that, we will have children. In the future, I am gonna become busy teaching my children. And once our children have grown up, I am planning on traveling the whole world with Aditya and everyone while pretending to be normal humans."
Hearing all of Alicia's plans, Sylvie felt a little bit jealous. "I wish I also could find someone and settle down already," Sylvie said out loud.
"Knowing you, even if you ever liked someone, I am sure you will never have the courage to confess to that person." Alicia mockingly said.
"That's not true," Sylvie replied slightly louder. She looked flustered.
"Yeah.....!! Yeah....!!" Alicia ignored her and sat down to continue with her work.
"The person that you're wishing to find is already in your heart. Just close your eyes and try to draw a picture of him in your mind." Alicia seriously said.
"As if...!!" Sylvie did not believe her words but she still decided to give it a try.
Sylvie closed her eyes and started imaging.
In Sylvie's mind, everything was shrouded in darkness. But then a bright image of a figure slowly started to walk up to her. As the figure came closer to her, his face became clearer.
Sylvie's cheeks grew slightly red as she stared at the person standing in front of her.
He was holding a black sword in his left arm. His upper body was naked. He had long blue hair that he had tied into a ponytail.
Alicia noticed Sylvie's cheeks had turned red.
"Well, whose face did you see?" Alicia asked. From her best friend's reaction, it was clear that she had seen someone's face.
"No...no one's...!!" Sylvie looked nervous. She ignored Alicia and tried to go back to work but she couldn't focus.
'Stupid....!! Why did I have to see his face?' Sylvie asked herself.
'Maybe, it's because I have been seeing him regularly these days.' Sylvie came to this conclusion.
"Did he have long blue hair?" A voice asked her.
"Yes.....!!" Sylvie was still in her thoughts. It was only after she replied that she realized the voice belonged to Alicia.
When she turned to her right, she found Alicia standing next to her. She was staring at her with a teasing smirk.
"Wait, let me explain." Sylvie became very embarrassed.
"Even though I said he had long blue hair and blue eyes, I never said it was Aditya. So please don't make any wrong conclusions." She hurriedly tried to explain herself.
"So it was Aditya...!!" Hearing this Sylvie realized that she had accidentally revealed the truth. Knowing this, she knew that there was no use in making excuses. She became silent and lowered her head.
"Please forget about this matter," Sylvie said in a low tone while lowering her head.
"Hmm.....!! Sure." Alicia was going to tease Sylvie about this later. For now, they had to finish their work.
