The Strongest Businessman 30 Chapter 30: Origin

"If you're all thinking whether it's true or not, it is indeed true." Dylan spoke calmly.

"????!!!!!" Ronald and everyone could not be any more speechless. They thought they were prepared but it was a different story when Dylan, himself, admitted the whole thing.

"I am indeed the bastard child of the king of the Six Mystical States." Dylan admitted wholeheartedly.

The crowd was left in total shock. Their mouths were opened and their thoughts were blank. They could not fathom what Dylan had to go through all this years as he was the bastard child of the king of the Six Mystical States!

"To clarify let me tell you a story..." Dylan narrated a story that would forever be etched into their minds.

"It was common knowledge the Mystical Clouds Country was split into six states. Each state had a king that governs it. Each king received the title of the power of the Mystical Clouds upon coronation of the thrown. Each state has a Royal Clan guarding the crown of the Mystical Clouds.

It was inscribed on the ancient scriptures that on the day of Harmonic Convergence, the 6 mystical clouds gather at the middle of the Mystical Clouds Country. In this area, the most strongest king is born and he is called the True King of the Six Mystical States! This occurrence only happens when a youth of kind heart and clean soul is able to live up to the age of 15. He would then unite the Six Mystical States under one banner. During the age of 15 at the hour of Harmonic Convergence, the child will gain all 6 powers of the Mystical Clouds and would reign invincible. There has been 5 True King of the Six Mystical States that has been born and all of which succeeded in their request.

But a child of such benevolence was almost difficult to be born as the middle of the Mystical Clouds Country is where all 6 countries commonly clash. In this type of environment, carnage and sin flourished as it was the only way for the people to survive. After the death of the fifth true king, the kings constantly mold it's environments for it to become a place of despair and abandonment. Thus, the people residing in this area gradually forgot the importance they have.

This was to prevent the permanent unification of all six states. The kings new that the True King could only be born at the middle of the Mystical Clouds Country. Thus, it was named Center of Birth but it was then named as the Center of Desolates due to the interference of the kings. The kings of this era wanted to be free from any type of restrictions so they were against the birth of the True King.

The kings of each state had come together and form an alliance in order to stop the birth and the dominance of the True King of the Six Mystical States which was against to the scriptures. The kings successfully stopped the birth of a true king ang it was assumed that the true king would never again come. There was an entire 500 years without the birth of a True King and the Mystical Clouds Country gradually forgot the legend of the True King of the Mystical Clouds.

But, 40 years ago, a Harmonic Convergence far different than any Harmonic Convergence that has ever occurred came to being. The clouds were more vibrant and more stronger than it has ever been. It all landed at the hands of a.... 15- year old boy. With that boy, the True King was finally reborned once more into this world.

He unified all 6 States under one flag. It was called the Mystical Clouds Alliance. Each king in this period were more supportive as they felt ashamed by the arrogance of their ancestors. This true king also made his own clan, The Ford Clan. The name of the true king was known as Derik Ford, my father.

Although he created his own clan, he was almost unable to have his own offspring. With the great power in his bloodline, it was utterly difficult for just any woman. So that was why the elders of the clan, searched for a woman who was able to contain this type of power, finally they were able to find a woman who was of peerless beauty and was in possession of the rare physique called Energy Devouring Vein. A type of physique in which the body develops an abnormal Spirit vein which could directly refine any type of energy be it natural or from another cultivator.

Derik Ford was betrothed to her and they bore a child. But although Derik was happy with his child, the one he married was not the one he truly loved. But, for the sake of the clan, he did.

18 years ago, the most shocking news was uncovered as the people were able to discover that Derik Ford had a concubine who was able to give birth to a child. The woman's name was Melissa Magma, the eldest princess of the Molten Rock Country, the enemy of the Mystical Clouds Country. Unfortunately she died of child birth. That was the day I was born into this world. My father incurred the wrath of both countries. All of the most mighty individuals gathered to kill my father. My father died after countless of times being chased by the two countries' most mightiest forces..." Dylan finished his narration of the story.

The employees were shocked about what they have just learned. The child the world condemned was the one who was standing in front of them!?! Who would not be shocked?! What was more shocking was that her mother was the eldest princess of the Molten Rock Country the archenemy of the Mystical Clouds Country?! The eldest princess was known to be the greatest beauty that the Molten Rock Country has ever seen. Her talent was also vastly superior to most geniuses​ and was known as the Magma Phoenix of the Molten Rock Country. They never would have thought that she would be their boss' mother.

They were completely speechless for some time before a person gathered the courage to ask another question.

"Sir Dylan... How were you able to... I mean... How did you end up in this place?" Jack Hale gritted his teeth and asked awkwardly.

"From the day, I was born. I was bound to be condemned by the world that was why my father left me in this city before he died." Dylan replied

"How old were you when you were left by the True King?" Diane asked next as she tried to calm herself down.

"I was only 3. My father fought continuously for 3 years just to protect me " Dylan answered.

"Can... sir Dylan... still remember his father?" Leila asked trembling.

"Uh... I remember my father's last words when he left me by this store.. 'Son, Father committed a great crime.. to his... country, clan and family... But father did not regret! Do you know why? Father has loved your mother ever since we were little... From the moment Father laid his eyes upon mother... Father knew she was the one when mother went to Father's home when she was only little... Father and mother would secretly meet and talk at night for a whole month... But mother had to go home and warned father not to go to her unless he was strong enough...

So father waited until he was strong enough to go to mother... The days that father​ and mother spent was the greatest time father has ever had...The day you were born was the most greatest day of our lives...So son, live your life well and remember to never let the one you love go...'" Dylan spoke while faint tears dropped from his eyes.

Every single one of Dylan's employees' heart melted when they saw their boss crying. No one could imagine the pain he had to go through in order to proceed with his life. Most girls have already cried. Scarlet run to his big brother and embraced him tightly while she cried "BROTHER!!!" because of how tragic Dylan's life was.

Dylan was shocked and cried as well the first time he learnt of this when he searched through his memories. He cried because the pain the past Dylan felt when his father felt was so real. The pain of being unable to do anything and the pain of being helpless was heart-rending. His employees could only feel the sadness and pain that he exuded at this moment that made them feel sympathy and pity for this young man. The burden he carried on his shoulders was too much for him but he still persevered.

But they did not know that Dylan has already lived two lives which were both heartbreakingly tragic. The first he died because of the betrayal of his only Brother while the second he died while training to try to prove the world his worth. Now, Dylan is already living his third life and he won't waste it anymore as he will prove everybody his worth and become a legend that will shake the world.

"Why have you told us this story, sir Dylan?" Jack asked once more. He was beginning to idlize Dylan more and more.

"Because you all deserve to know. If​ you want to go, you may go. I won't stop you. I have already prepared your salaries. For those who want to leave, it's okay. I understand." Dylan said while hugging the crying little Scarlet.

"I won't leave." Jack said.

"Me too." Frank spoke.

"I won't leave sir Dylan too." Diane said.

"Urrr... Me three." Leila squeaked .

"WE WON'T LEAVE YOU SIR DYLAN!" All of his employees said

The debt they had with Dylan was too much. Dylan helped them with so much in this past week. They would never be able to repay Dylan in their lifetime. They discovered that every time they would return from work , their homes would have improved significantly. Their families told them it was because of workers of the three giants. But they knew that this workers only answered to Dylan.

Not only have their families life improved because of him but they also improved as individual in both skills and character. That was why they stood ardently with Dylan and be with him until the very end.

"You guys... Thank you..." Dylan felt touched by their display of loyalty.

"I will not disappoint your loyalty and belief in me. I, Dylan Ford, promise that I will become strong enough to protect you and never let any of you fall into harm. If I were to break this oath may heaven punish me." Dylan swore an oath to them.

"We swear to stay loyal to Sir Dylan, no matter what happens, until our last breath. If we were to break this oath may heaven punish us!" The employees did the same as well.

On that day, a new found bond between boss and staff was forged. An oath that will never be broken by any type of danger or harm.
