IT'S STRICTLY BUSINESS

Russell didn't mind though. He knew that the departed people hostile attitude towards him. But he also knew that they were not powerful enough to take him down. Even if they were powerful enough to kill him, they wouldn't do it unless they have the family background that surpasses his own family background.

And most importantly, Russell had seen people like them right from the waning of his life. If you are born in the Silver Wolf Sect, then the first thing they will evaluate about you is how good your skills in business is. The rest of the things are secondary.

They would never care even if you have very good cultivation attitude. For the people in the Silver Wolf Sect, the primary requirement is money. They had they believe that if you have more money, then the talents would come for you all on their own.

Of course, they proved their belief with their abilities. They have everything they need. They have the cultivation land with rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They have quality infrastructure and built a top notch spectacular city in all their branches.

As for money and Soul Stones for the development of the cultivation talent, there is no need to mention it. If anyone dared to say that the Silver Wolf Sect's wealth is decent, then the clans like the Sabretoorh Clan and the Trott Clan and the Silverwing Clan could call themselves a street beggars.

The higher ups of the Silver Wolf Sect always believed in nothing but money. So when they have a recruiting program, then the first thing they would check is how good your skills in the field of business! How good you are to bring profit for the sect is what they will check in you.

Even if you have average talent in cultivation, but you have very good talent in business communication, then, you will be given the top priority.

As for the likes of Bruce, he will be given the second priority category. You may be good in cultivation. But who asked you to have poor aptitude in the field of business dealings?

And it doesn't mean that the Silver Wolf Sect didn't have any people with high cultivation talent. They have people with good cultivation talent. And these people were okay with the secondary treatment they were receiving. As long is there were given enough cultivation resources to develop themselves, everything is okay for them.

Despite all this, Silver Wolf Sect still placed high hopes for the people who had talent in both business and cultivation. These people were given the special treatment and were raised by the Sect Master personally.

And Russell happened to come under such category. He is excellent in both business and cultivation. So he was regarded very highly.

Russell had dealt with many people. He had seen countless people like Drowny in his life. And as a person who maintains his professionalism in the field of merchandise, he doesn't mind such a minor issues.

"You are such a weirdo as always." ,As Russell was about to take his leave, he heard a voice.

Russell smiled. He didn't turn back and said, "I am strictly conducting a business transaction! What's wrong with that?"

"Business transaction?" ,The corner of that person's mouth twitched. He said, "Why does it looked like you forced those poor bastards submit to you?"

"I just merely used in my contract. I asked them to give me their past. Instead, I will give them the Soul Stones! They signed the contract and then refused to give me their pass! So as per the contract, I used my shadow to hunt them down. I didn't do anything out of the contract!" ,Russell turned back and looked at the person who came. He smiled and then said, "In your perspective, I was actually using the force. But in my perspective, it was nothing but strictly business! No hard feelings at all!"

"Whatever! I am sick of event trying to understand your people's character." ,That person said, "You people call it a strict business transaction. But what exactly do you gain from this transaction in the competition? All you people are doing is nothing but to throw Soul Stones in exchange for The pass from other participants. What I could see from this business transaction is nothing but loss. How exactly are you people profiting from this?"

Russell smiled and said, "In the art of business, reputation plays an important role. If our rank in the competition is poor, then it will damage our Sect's reputation. Then the rate of attraction of potential talents will drop. We don't want to afford such loss. Today we might be facing a loss in the business, but if we see in long term prospective, then we have so much to gain in the future. So maintaining our rank in top 10 will open so many options in the future. After all, our rank determines our future. It will decide our reputation level."

Russell looked the new person who came and said, "I know that with the presence of the likes of Bruce and Ellen, my chance to become champion is 0%. And I am not participating in this competition for the championship either. We from the Silver Wolf Sect are participating in this competition while taking the future development plans of our sect into account."

Russell's explanation did not give a single hint of meaning for the person who came here. And as always, he felt that Russell was nothing but a weirdo. So he didn't care.

"I am sure that you didn't come all the way here to discuss all this right?" ,Russell asked, "So why are you here esteemed guest Cohan?"

The person who came here was none other than Cohan. Cohan was also the name of the person whom Peter referred as "Big Brother" in the Communication Crystal. Cohan is very powerful who was at the initial stages of the fourth awakening stage. He was one of the three contestants in the who reached the fourth awakening stage cultivation.

Bruce was obviously one of them. The second one in the list who reached the fourth awakening stage in cultivation is none other than Theresa. And Cohan was the recent entry to the list.

Cohan's talent in the cultivation is decent. He is definitely the oldest person in the forest. He was 92 years old. He was just eight years away from reaching the 100 years. If that happened, then he will no longer have any qualification to participate in the competition.

But Cohan was one of the important figure in the Raven Sect from the younger generations. He was number two of a special team. While Bruce was the number one!

There is a reason why Bruce decided to participate in this competition alone though.
