After getting the necessities we needed for the academy such as dorms, uniforms, schedules, etc. I immediately hopped in my AV and left the academy.
Since it's only the first day of school there were no classes and the students could do whatever they want but when we come back officially we will be stuck here and not allowed to leave or have any contact with the outside world, well...that is for normal students of course.
The academy is actually as big as a city so we will have everything we need that we would usually have in the real world with the only difference is that we won't be allowed to leave the academy grounds unless it is a field trip or something along those lines. So with those rules implemented where the crime of breaking rules is punishable by death, crippling of cultivation, or other punishments based on the rules you break most students took advantage of this time window to get some things done and set up some last-second preparations before going back and I was included.
Thinking back to the words of the empress I shook my head while becoming the disciple of the empress was an offer that even I was tempted to dive headfirst after I really wanted nothing to do with the royals. I'm only here to learn what I can, kill Zantar, and complete my mission.
They must be off the percs if they think I'm going to reveal my cards this early on all for a tournament that I don't really give two fucks about, what's the point anyway since I know I'm going to win. The other six of the Seven Blessed from Heaven can go fight amongst themselves for the disciple position but four of them will be revealing their identities if the process. I know Zantar won't dare to participate since becoming the empress's disciple is nothing more than a death sentence for him so my best guess is that the disciple position will most likely end up with one of the six.
A few minutes later the AV landed in front of a large building that had the words 'Fifth Ave' on it. There was a long line that stretched down about three blocks, showing how famous and successful the place was and who could blame them. It was one of the most famous stores of the federation after all.
Fifth Ave was a store I founded myself as my mother had gifted me this large ass property for no reason. I decided to make it just like the famous store back on earth. I also decided to bring in something that completely changed the Federation and made me one of the most connected and profitable people in probably all of Genesis...cryptocurrency. Due to its untraceable and very reliable nature, I was able to implement it very easily into the Federation's economy, and other than cultivation resources it became the most used currency in the Federation. Needless to say, there was a huge increase in contract killings, and backdoor deals and the underworld was basically booming due to crypto being untraceable but what did any of that have to do with me? In fact, as a show of goodwill, some of the top syndicates even gave me a share of the profits they made without me even asking.
I stepped into the store and walked straight into my office, I looked around at the comfortable and neat office that had wooden flooring and carpet exported from...I don't even know where and had a fireplace that kept the place warm.
I then looked at the mature and seductive woman looking and organizing the papers at my desk, she then looked up and gave me a smile that would put most men in heat but to me, I stayed calm and just smiled back.
"Young Master, you're back? How was school?" Calysto, my sky blue hair enchantress of a secretary asked me. Calysto has been my secretary ever since I opened Fifth Ave, she's tried to seduce me multiple times and I was annoyed at first but I decided to use it as a tempering for when I am being seduced by females, which will be a common occurrence in my life thanks to my looks and personality.
I thought I would be fine but after seeing the empress I knew it was nothing more than a foolish dream. If it wasn't for Calysto's attempts on me I would've most likely ended up like those other beta males stroking their meat to a woman who could exterminate their families with a finger snap. The empress...she was just too much, GOD forbid she puts her sights on me or I'm done for. But that is unlikely, there's no way I should be on her radar. Sure I may have massacred a bunch of people from the other clans but with that, she'll probably think I'm just a bloodthirsty kid just like all other Black Dragons.
"It was alright, nothing worth mentioning. But do you have the tickets? That is the only reason why I even left academy grounds after all." I said with a smile as I surveyed Calysto up and down and I had to say she was quite a woman who had a lot of suitors. She was one of the top 10 most desired women in the Federation despite her being from the mermaid clan, a mid-ranked clan in the Federation. A pity that most of those pursuers died from unknown causes.
"Of course I did." She giggled and brought out a ticket from her cleavage that could hold its own with the empress and made me swallow dryly as she tried to seduce me again but after seeing the empress and the effect she indirectly has on people with her presence alone, this was mere child play.
"A ticket to the Heaven and Hell auction house, the most exclusive and highest-ranked auction house in the Federation. I must say I am impressed young master that a force as big as them went out of their way to send you an invitation. Did you give them something young master?" She asked
"No, but I did bring in a new brand of currency that brought the economic power of the federation to new heights. But even I didn't think they would extend this invitation to me, looks like being the founder of cryptocurrency came with more benefits than I initially thought." I said as I took the ticket from her hand only for her to push her body up against me, pressing her soft breasts against my chest.
She traced her finger down from my face to my chest as she whispered "You need a plus one? Who knows how long it'll be before I get to see you again."
This woman really is thirsty, well looks like I have to be a good brother again. You fucking sellout you better not sell this time.
I grabbed her hand and slowly brought it down while still looking at her sea-blue eyes with a smile and said "We'll definitely see each other soon Calysto but if you want to be near me so bad then join the academy and say you are Rizen's maid, I'm sure he needs to relieve the stress he's going through dealing with the crown prince and the subtle inner conflict that is going on within his faction."
She froze and then stared at me and blinked a few times before she laughed and said with a suggestive tone "I just might. I heard that he is extremely handsome and while he might not be as addicting as you I know I won't be disappointed." she then kissed me on the cheek and left my office.
Looking at those tantalizing hips and ass swaying in an obvious attempt of giving me a show I smiled and nodded my head in pride at the alley-oop I just tossed to my brother.
Man, I really am a good brother. Rizen you pussy you better not fuck this up. Do your brother and Everen proud.
Standing there for a few minutes I walked out the store and hopped back in my AV and gave it instructions to take me to the auction house.
