Chapter 302 - Kelly’s Worries
Mike stood up and came in front of Kelly.
Kelly said to Mike, "As your teacher, I haven't taught you as much as the Dark High Priest has taught you. This makes me feel a little bad. While you stay in Dragon Castle, I can teach you more."
Mike nodded.
Kelly said, "Go and meet Little Jerry and the others first. He's been doing logistics for the front line."
When Mike heard Little Jerry's name, memories surfaced in his heart. He immediately bid farewell to Kelly and went to Little Jerry's residence.
...
Mike stood in Little Jerry's territory and was extremely surprised. When he flew over the Dragon Castle previously, he thought that this building was a temporary palace. He did not expect that it was actually Little Jerry's residence!
During this period of time, the Dark Continent was falling while Little Jerry continued to thrive. The Little Jerry had classified this entire place as his business territory, and that included the Dark Continent, the Northern Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, the Misty Forest, and the entire foreign world. In other words, Little Jerry, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was much more imposing than a king.
Little Jerry had done all of this in a short period of time. Considering what Little Jerry had achieved, it was amazing.
Mike really admired this brother of his. Mike, was a genius in recovery, while Little Jerry was a genius in business and a divine-tier expert.
Mike could not help but give little Jerry a big thumbs up.
Mike turned around and walked into the Little Lucky Star Chamber of Commerce, quietly looking at the furnishings around him.
Although it was not as imposing as the one in the Northern Kingdom, the furnishings inside were very impressive.
Mike looked around and saw that everything was used for war, from the hinges on the armor set to the main cannon of Sky Fortress.
Mike was very happy with little Jerry's ability.
A waitress walked over. She looked at Mike and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"
Mike shook his head and said, "I don't need anything. I have an appointment. I'm waiting for someone."
She did not say anything more, but she did not leave. Instead, she stood beside Mike and poured him a cup of coffee.
A moment later, Little Jerry walked out. The waitress had a shocked expression on her face.
When Little Jerry saw Mike, the fake coldness in his eyes immediately disappeared, turning into the warm tears of reunion of old friends.
The waitress was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. She had never seen her boss like this. She looked like she had seen a ghost and did not know what to do.
Little Jerry turned his head and motioned for her to leave.
She immediately left.
Mike looked at Little Jerry and said, "Little Jerry, you have become more generous after all this time."
Little Jerry smiled. "I'm ashamed to say this, but I just made some money off the war."
Mike smiled and said, "I heard that you donated a lot of things. That's amazing."
Little Jerry smiled and immediately changed the topic. The two of them started chatting excitedly.
Little Jerry asked, "Mike, are you going to leave again after this?"
Mike nodded and said, "I will definitely leave. There are still a group of students in the Dark Continent. I can't leave them behind."
Little Jerry nodded and said, "In that case, I will prepare some small gifts. You can take them with you."
"How can I take your gifts..."
"Hey, you and I are brothers. This is nothing."
Mike could only accept it with a bitter smile.
The two chatted for a while more. Little Jerry suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "How could I forget? Nota is also in the Dragon Castle. I'll call him over now."
Mike nodded and smiled. "Very good."
A moment later, Nota rushed into the hall in a hurry. He walked into the room where Mike and Little Jerry were.
Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce looked at that room in surprise, wondering what kind of identity Mike had and why he could invite two of the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce at the same time.
Mike sized up Nota, and the surprise in his eyes grew stronger.
In Mike's memory, Nota's face was very handsome, with sharp edges and corners. His appearance was bright and beautiful, and he had the demeanor of a high-level powerhouse. However, at this moment, Nota's appearance had changed greatly. His face was thin and red, there were stains and dark eye sockets that came from god knows where.
He looked very tired, his hair was messy like a bird's nest. He was wearing clothes that looked like torn sacks. Mike could vaguely see Nota's ribs. There was also a stench on his body as if he had not showered in years.
Mike could not help but ask, "Little Jerry, is this how your chamber of Commerce treats Nota? How long has it been since he took a shower?"
Little Jerry smiled bitterly. "Please don't blame me. I had nothing to do with this. How would I dare to mistreat Nota? Mike, you don't know that the magic crystal cannon in the hall is Nota's masterpiece. Its performance is 40% better than the main cannon of the Dark Continent's Royal Sky Fortress. In order to make this cannon, Nota had been blown up countless times. He's the same as you. He's clearly not from the Dark Continent, but he has contributed too much to the Dark Continent. Even I, a person from the Dark Continent, had not contributed much."
Nota looked at Little Jerry and said, "Why are you talking about those useless things? It's a waste of time."
He grabbed the fine wine on the table and drank it in one gulp. Then, he looked at Mike and asked, "Mike, you came back from the Dark Continent. Is my teacher doing well?"
Mike said, "I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen Gao Da and his students in the Dark Continent. Actually, I've seen the Dark High Priest."
The light in Nota's eyes quickly dimmed as he asked, "How's The Frost Dragon?"
Mike said, "Pretty good. There's nothing to worry about. It's pretty good."
Nota muttered, "That's good, that's good."
Nota suddenly stood up and bowed to Little Jerry.
Little Jerry was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up from his seat and hurriedly said to Nota, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Nota said, "Brother, I might have to go back to the Dark Continent. I miss my teacher."
Little Jerry smiled bitterly and said, "So be it. How about this, I'll get the warehouse to distribute half of the rarest materials. You take them and give them to our teacher as a show of filial piety. Don't decline, I'll be upset with you if you decline."
Nota laughed, "Alright, since you insist, I'll accept it for my teacher."
The three of them chatted for a long time. They told each other about what they had seen and heard over the years. They were all amazed by each other's stories.
Mike walked under the starry sky and looked at the bright galaxy. He asked, "Eve, how many more years do you think I need to struggle before I can reach heaven-tier?"
Eve said, "That will require time. If the time is not right, it will be difficult to reach heaven-tier in ten thousand years."
Mike lowered his head and grumbled to himself.
