THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

" And who might this young man be?" He asked in a gentle tone despite his menacing appearance, trying to appeal as friendly as possible.

"They are my friends, I also just awakened!" Glen said while pointing at the screen above the pod he had used, the information of his awakening was still displayed on it

The Tower master turned to look at the screen that Glen was pointing at, he silently read all the details on the screen within a second.

'Oh, he's an A-level talent? That's a result to be proud about, just his luck to have two prodigies awaken at the same time as him" the Tower master of the Lance branch Tower thought to himself. He felt that Glen was just unlucky to have his spotlight stolen by his two friends but that did not mean that he was any less valuable.

" Oh, an impressive result as well. Birds of the same feathers flock together indeed. Allow me to introduce myself," the man stood up straight while placing one of his hands in front of his chest " My name is Adam Lance, the current Tower master of the seventh branch under the Lance family.

I want to formally invite you three to join our Tower so that you can get adequate training that is befitting of your talents as germs like yourselves would need the perfect refinement to glow.

Priorities would be given to your every needs for the duration of your training and a high-paying position in the Tower upon your graduation from training, along with these benefits will be land properties which are personal villas in the middle of San Pluto which will be given to each of you…of course, the cost of all these will be covered by the tower.

All we require is that you join the Lance Tower and sign a contract to work for the tower, don't worry about the Tower trying to take advantage of you because you will be provided with a copy of the contract each to study and negotiation is very well welcomed.

The Tower will only require you to go on a few missions each year which you can as well reject for other missions" The man who had now addressed himself as Adam Lance said with a genuine smile on his face, his words sounding so sincere that they left no room for people to doubt them.

Ivan and Ralph stared at Adam with stunned looks on their faces which soon turned into a frown. From everything Adam had said, everything seemed to benefit them while they only needed to do just one mission every year for the tower, the offer was just too good to be as simple as he had presented it.

Glen, on the other hand, was trembling from excitement upon hearing everything that Adam had said. He could not stop imagining all the wealth and fame he could get with such an offer, there was also a personal villa! He could bring his family over and they would never have to worry about anything ever again!

He would have rushed to accept the offer if not that Ralph was secretly holding his shirt from behind.

Adam looked at the three young men in front of him, he felt confident about recruiting these three future powerhouses before the representatives of the other big towers arrived. Glen's expression greatly boosted his confidence but Ralph's and Ivan's serious expressions did the exact opposite which made Adam want to say more.

'What are you thinking about so seriously? Everything I said is sincere, hurry up and accept before others arrive!' Adam urged inwardly while maintaining a calm expression to make the two believe that he wasn't nervous about rejection.

Unfortunately for him, a loud voice sounded from behind him which made him feel like someone had downed a bucket of cold water on him.

"Adam Lance, do you think it's funny to try tricking children just because they are inexperienced?" The voice said scornfully.

Adam froze for a bit before his face turned to one of annoyance as he turned back to face the person he had spoken to from behind him, Ivan and the rest also looked at the newcomer who had suddenly appeared without anyone noticing.

"James" Adam muttered in a low voice that was laced with fighting intent while his eyes looked like they would tear their newcomer to shreds.

This newcomer was a tall man in a suit, he looked like someone in his fifties but stood straight like an arrow with piercing green eyes which stared back at Adam as he confidently stepped toward him. He wasn't as buffed as Adam was but his appearance and presence weren't less intimidating.

The crowd of people immediately stepped back as it had turned into a competition between the top bosses, only people of similar standing as them would be able to compete with them.

The man who Adam had addressed as James stopped after reaching in front of Adam and stared at him right in the eyes.

"Adam" he called back in a low but contemptuous tone which made Adam grit his teeth in suppressed rage.

"What do you mean by tricking? Everything I said was sincere!" Adam retorted as veins bulged on his neck.

"Sincere you say? Oh please spare me that crap, priorities during training? Isn't that harming their level of talent?" James said with an amused expression before walking past Adam and approaching Ivan and the other two. Before he could take more than three steps, Adam's voice sounded from behind.

"Tks! Saying it like I was doing something wrong, aren't you here to compete for them on behalf of your Tower as well?"

These words made James stop on his track, his eyes slit till they were half closed and his green eyes seemed to be glowing with a dangerous light that made many amongst the crowd retreat even more when they saw it.

With his head half turned to the back, he gazed at Adam through the corner of his eyes.

" Compete? Do you think you are worthy of competing with me? Let me remind you," James' voice became cold suddenly" I am the Tower master of the headquarters of the Owen tower, which is located right here in San Pluto. The Lance Tower's headquarters on the other hand is NOT in this city and you, Adam, are just a Tower master of a side branch.

We aren't on the same level, know your place!" James' words were so piercing that a lot of people were already shivering from his aura. Adam's hands were tightly clenched as he stared at James with a murderous gaze. It took him a while to calm himself before saying

"Even if that is true, you can't force your idea on them too. The final decision is theirs to make so I'll wait for them to decide!" His words were firm, Indicating that he wasn't going to leave just because of James.

James did not respond and simply let out a small smirk that disappeared immediately after before turning to the three boys.

Ivan watched as James approached them, his actions just now would definitely serve as a bad point if he wanted to recruit them but for some reason, Ivan wanted to know what James had to say. Not like he could simply walk away anyway.

James stopped in front of them and looked down at them, he did not know who amongst them was the SS, S, or A-level talent. But he did not need to know as he was planning to take them all in.

Silently clearing his voice, James opened his mouth and said.

"You might already know this but I'll still take my time to introduce myself.

My name is James Owen, the Tower master of the headquarters of the Owen Tower. One of the strongest five towers in the world and our headquarters is located right here in San Pluto.

I want to invite you three to join the Owen Tower as trainees to undergo training, and unlike a certain someone he doesn't know how to nurture talents" James gave Adam a side glance as he said those words which made the man glare back at him.

" I believe that true germs can only shine through perfect tempering so do not expect any special treatment from the Tower during your training.

You will join other recruits and undergo similar training with them without any specific help from us, you will have to rise with your strength and only then will you be able to truly achieve your true potential; by competing against others who are as talented as you.

As I said earlier, our Tower is one of the strongest five left. We got that title for a reason so do not think that you are special just because you managed to get such impressive results. There are many like you in the Tower and even some who are more monstrous.

As for the benefits of joining, after you finish training, you'll have to start from the lowest level of the Towerand work your way up with your strength along with other people. So it doesn't look like we are not appreciative of your talents, the Tower can offer personal villas to each of you as well. These villas are located on the western side of San Pluto "
