Chapter 470: 470: Backing? Don't Get Me Wrong

The destruction was brought forth without a warning. All of the onlookers trembled on their feet before their knees crashed against the ground. There was not a single thought that ran through their mind that the woman would eventually evaporate, not even destroy, but evaporated the whole thing in one single blast. The pain that they took from watching the bright light was nothing compared to what they were currently seeing.

"T-Treas's main branch is..."

"This is unreal! How can one cultivator destroy a mass of Ascending God realm cultivators in one single blow!"

"Imagine how much dedication one must take to be in that realm..."

"This is too cruel..."

The onlookers lamented their fate but one name struck their fear without a doubt. That wanted man's name loomed their heart. With his face being spread out just as they speak, more and more people took account of this young man from the latter generation. Especially his powerful backings that were unidentified.

A new force came with a bang and Treas couldn't sit still on their butt now. They wouldn't think that the situation could escalate to this point. His presence daunted more and more. Nothing ever creates such suspense for the most influential family in the mortal world. 

The huge spark finally incited those big organizations' interest. The sudden development was intriguing for the powerful cultivators that sat at the top of the hierarchy. Even with such a high bounty placed on him, the young man actually retaliated despite their expectations. They thought that no more than a day was needed to sweep this little problem under the rug. However, that was not the case. Even the main branch that hosted many expert cultivators ended up dead with the building.

-----------------

"Lyon Torga, Lyon Torga... who is he... the information only consisted that he came from a small kingdom in a lesser world not worth mentioning! But! How the hell did he have such backing?! Is he from Heaven?"

The skinny man walked back and forth whilst thinking inside his room. Rummaging his thought over and over but he couldn't find an answer. It won't be long before the head caught wind of him being placed in a bounty with a turd as a prize. However, he was also in a bind. Even if their resources were abundant, he couldn't take the risk of investing to attack Lyon's loved ones now.

(We got 'check' by him) thought the skinny man. They couldn't play dirty now since they themselves were in the process of annihilation. 

His narrow eyes suddenly snapped open, "Someone is here!"

Without wasting a single moment he burst through the walls and catching his subordinates by surprise and horror on their faces. But it didn't matter, his gaze was on the entrance before with his feet landing on the ground he looked at the figure that was standing right on the gate.

(There he is.. the one with the glasses... he didn't seem intimidating as I thought he would be but...*Gulp! something about him is off.... he dressed like a butler of a high noble... how odd) thought the skinny man.

"Are you here to destroy this building?" (I know it's a stupid question but this will buy them time and once he gave out an opening to strike, he is nothing but a corpse then!)

"Hmm?" he readjusted his glasses with a push before his sharp eyes were revealed through those lenses.

"Are you here to buy time?" asked the man with straight lips.

His eyebrows rose naturally despite the shock that he felt inside his mind (Looks like his appearance is not just for show, at least he noticed the somewhat vacant place)

"Please sir, do excuse me if you think it that way. However, it is not my intention to buy time."

"What's this, you change your attitude in a split second, do you think that lame and shameless act of yours could gain my favor? How pathetic, did you think that I'm your customer of some sort? There is nothing worthwhile items inside your warehouse and I thought that this is the main branch. Sigh, what a waste of breath this place is."

The barrage of insults that he never thought would come out of someone's mouth caught him glaring, however, the glare soon turned into disbelief as he digested his words (Did he just said... my warehouse... he had gone to my warehouse? But the place is at the farthest back! Are you telling me that he... ah! So that means! He is allowing his presence to be detected?!)

"Now now, your fear is showing," said the man as he casually walked forward.

(Hah, though he might be dangerous, he is an open target. The experts have been hiding in strategic places! Come closer then! Come closer now!) thought the skinny man as he unintentionally let out a smile.

"Hm... now you are smiling..."

"Hehehe, please excuse me, one couldn't help but be happy at this kind of moment. However, dear sir, may I ask something?"

"What is it?"

The man stood in front of the skinny manager with his chin slightly risen. (E-Eh? How come he got this close already? Aren't those experts watching this?! This is their chance?!)

"I-I..." his eyes could no longer narrow as he nervously looked left and right before continuing, "I- I wonder why would you become Lyon Torga's backing if you are this powerful... I've heard that his cultivati— AGH!!!"

His neck was strangled by his hand before his feet effortlessly stand above ground.

"How dare you casually say the emperor's name like that!" shouted the man before his mana burst out with a furrow of his eyebrows and blew away the bushes and the trees in their surroundings, even one of the pillars of the building cracked.

(W-W WHaT?!!) screamed the manager as he took a glance at the surrounding. Corpses upon corpses adorned his sight. Those were the experts of various legions, various sects, all of them had the Ascending God level. His eyes averted back to the man that was choking him with one hand. Swallowed by fear he could only open his ears.

"Also... don't get me wrong..." said the man as he readjusted his glasses with a push of his finger. 

"We are not his backing... on the contrary, the emperor is our backing, in fact, the whole mortal world used to have his backing! Ungrateful fucks! Die!"

He slightly threw him up in the air before pushing both of his palms forward to his stomach. The manager couldn't even scream before he turned into a bloody mist as the building behind him destroyed into a huge cloud of dust after a loud thump of the world crashed the onlookers' ears.
