Day 15-16 Breaking People a little Part 2

"You prepared for me, I feel honored." Lin Bao said. He felt a sense of danger and decided to stop dry in place. "At first I was going to beat your men up and take out your man Biao, then get you a few days later."

"Tch!" Zhuo Tinhao was regretting not dealing with this rival over a year ago. now it was coming back to bite him in the ass a little. "Mr.Rexford, I will double your pay if you take care of this pest!"

"Hah!" Lin Bao barked loudly. "I trained desperately for over an entire year just for this! I have a strong master who put me through hell! I will have my revenge!"

"Alright, calm down young man." Rexford said calmly. His mouth opened as the violent energies were swept away. "Let's play a little. IF you impress me, I will let you live."

Realizing the danger came from the young man that just spoke, Lin Bao prepared himself to fight.

Rexford and Lin Bao exchanged a few moves in a matter of minutes. Rexford just using his body to fight. It was after all what he was used to. With each exchange, Rexford's eyes glowed more and more in power. Along with his smile becoming broader.

*Bang!* Lin Bao delivered a solid strike to Rexford's chest. With a small flex, he was sent backsliding across the dock. Half his body dangling over the side when he finally stopped. Several scratch marks with broken bloody nails.

"You are good. Really good. Your master... is not bad but you are wasted on him." Rexford was being honest. Lin Bao had reached this level in over a year. Comparing to his fight originally with Wei Guo who he completed dominated against, made one not to kill such a hard-working individual. "I have a proposition for you if you're listening."

"Ha.. hah.." Lin Bao struggled to stand up. He settled for just flipping over to face his opponent. "I won't betray my master!" That loyalty built from intense training was not something to part with easily. "Finish me off if you have the guts!"

"Hmm, ok dokey." Rexford stabbed him directly in the chest. A bit of gold mixed with regular his qi as he marked the young man's soul. He killed him but left the soul bound to the body as a type of anchor. "You will deliver a message for me, even if you are unwilling to."

"Gahh!" Lin Bao groaned like a zombie. His eyes barely containing any life left in them.

"Return to your master and tell him I want to speak with him for business." Rexford's voice came out in a drone. Words laced with qi as he instructed orders for the now breathing puppet of his. "Return as fast as you can."

The others had no idea what was going on but knew it couldn't be good. Biao felt a chill run through his stomach. Whatever Rexford was doing to the defeated Lin Bao left him with a bad feeling that continued to grow.

Implanting the orders left him a little winded but a better overall understanding on how to influence one's soul.

After helping Zhuo Tinhao, the money earned was going to be spent already. Zhuo Tinhao paid handsomely. Biao stood behind to communicate with his former boss. Rexford went for a walk around the harbor and would take the chance to run home for exercise and further control.

Thinking about the blackmail material to use on the Su family, he did what he did best. Exploit the business opportunity. Traveling to a few key people but only planting the ideas in the heads of those close to them.

This took up most of his time but was worth it. It wouldn't be until later that he would see results.

Next Day-

.

Rexford looked at the gems and pieces of metal created from the Black Gold Vortex once again.

The various metals were so dense.. he couldn't do anything with them. Even with his strength as a cultivator meant nothing to the high compact metal. Only a few pieces were able to be used in forging still.

Which would take a lot of effort to even make an engraving on them.

"Well... shit. What about these jewels?" Rexford tried to create a scratch on the jewels and came up really with nothing. "Extremely hard jewels. Well, guess take this with me to try and sell. Hey, mini.."

"I can not separate them. Next time put a little amount of the debris into the Vortex. Not like we can really control it yet."

"Ughh a bunch of high-quality jewels and metals that I can't use. This is beyond frustrating." Grabbing a few of them, and placing them to the side, he had a better idea to just trade them off. "That auction should work in our favor for some trades and those weird items can be used better after a little qi introduction."

"Hmm, you are thinking about those ghost gods in Japan as well as the Ghost Sect here." The mini floated over to silhouettes give them a look over. "Ji Xingyu.. maybe increase the speed at which he becomes a ghost expert?" A simple nod confirmed that might be the best choice for now. "As well as the one guy that gets spared. Should make for good disciples considering he is already on that path."

"Enough different cultivations are available, so we have that." Rexford left his Internal Space and took out some paper. Some of it was old and falling apart. But it would help make the sell that it was historic. "Just gonna write up a few techniques and create a weather effect on ink to help sell it."

As he worked away, Rina one of the swerving women came up to him. Seeing what he was doing she offered to help.

"I can help make them look really old as well as show a talisman method that is mean to preserve literature." She sat down after he gave approval. "At most, if is not a deity rank person checking, it should pass."

"How many years will the impression give off?" Rexford watched her work closely on the parchment. His methods were scienced base so there was the chance it would be discovered with a mistake. A more magical method should help hide it more. 'These women are something else. Each of them having something special about them. And they have all improved as cultivators in the last few days.'

Sini Dova was at the Internal Force Perfect (A) with quite a lot of power than someone at the realm would have. A good bit of power also came from her eyes he noticesd. Whatever weird power she had was dangerous but she never tried anything on him. Which was fine in his book.

All the others were at the Phenomenal Sucess (B). Not as before as her but more powerful than the typical cultivator around the city.

'They mention a curse once before but I do not have the time to check into that deeper. Once I the Su Family situation develops a little more than I will see about looking into that.' Focusing back on the work, Rexford was ready to take a trip and make some money.

.

Sometime later.

.

Everyone was currently training and enjoying themselves outside.

Rexford was currently stabilizing his cultivation. The Transcdenat Realm had a lot to understand. Giving key insights into the overall aspects of the human body.

Rexford found that his veins in the inside contained a floral-type green glow to it now. It was not temporary nor was he mistaken previously about it changing.

Wei Ziqin called him in regards to an auction taking place. Held in a private area mostly used to help expand one's social network and expanding one's influence. Something she knew Rexford defintely would be interested in.

"Oh sounds good. But also sounds like a date. Are you finally warming to have fun with me Ziqing?" Rexford teased.

"Not at all." He could not see her blush but she was defintely smiling on the other end. "If you were traditional that would be a different story."

"Not gonna happen just would cause problems. So just business then." Rexford moved to the fridge to get a drink. "Go ahead."

"What's more there will be mysterious equipment available." Wei Ziqing's smile vanished as she switched back to a business mode. "I am sure you can find a use for most of the stuff. Some that protect the household as well as bring good luck will be there."

"You are right, give me a chance to take them apart and see if I can duplicate them." Rexford rembered the items there. A few of them were definitely worth obtaining. Especially if you sold them to regular people to improve their overall living conditions. "I will check my finances and see what's up."

"Alright, I will pick you up tonight. How's that sound?"

"Sure. Sounds good to me." Rexford hung up, finished his drink, and went back to cultivation. "The Transdcent Realm.. is this the type of qi to creating people like those superhumans that exist here?"
