THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Chapter 14 - 14: Choices

The crowd that had been silent all these while erupted in an uproar when they heard James's words, even Adam could not help but stare at James in shock.

While his previous offer of giving them villas in the center of San Pluto could be counted as generous, James' offer was outright startling.

One had to know that the center of San Pluto was the most flourishing part of the city with all the big companies and wealthy people living in it, affording a simple apartment in this location was as hard as shaving one's hair with their toes.

When compared to the western side of San Pluto on the other hand, everyone had to admit that that location held a significant importance to the people of San Pluto. The western side wasn't as bustling or as populated as the center of San Pluto, it rather had few people and was mostly a quiet neighborhood. The reason for this was that…

Getting a place on the western side of San Pluto was close to impossible! Only those at the Pinnacle of Power were able to afford to stay in that part of San Pluto, people spent billions upon billions but still got turned down at times even when their request was a simple duplex or bungalow.

Yet, James was promising these three young men three villas in that place? Even Adam did not have the right to stay there!

Ralph and Ivan carefully observed everyone's expressions and could easily figure out that the location of the villas that James was offering was of a higher status compared to Adam's, but that wasn't what attracted them the most about everything that the man had said.

To Ivan, all he could hear was having the chance to train with others who were as talented or even more talented than himself. Getting the chance to compete against such geniuses was the most attractive offer for someone who had sworn to gain strength. Why would he want to receive special treatment when he could fight and increase his strength against other prodigies?

"I accept" Ivan's voice broke through the sea of murmurs, causing everyone to temporarily turn quiet and look at him.

James' eyes flashed over as he gazed at the white-haired kid, nothing looked special about this young man at first glance but who would imagine that he was actually an SS-level talent Nexulyte?

Ralph and Glen turned to look at Ivan in surprise as this was the first time Ivan had decided to make a decision for himself, he would usually leave the decision-making to Ralph and just follow with it as long as it was alright.

Seeing that Ivan had decided to join the Owen Tower, Ralph knew that he must have thought it through before accepting because he had done the same. So without wasting anyone's time, he accepted James' offer as well.

James wore a slight smile on his face as he looked at the two future powerhouses of his Tower. He really did not care much about what Glen decided to do as he was as valuable as these two.

Though slightly reluctant, Glen still decided to accept James' offer. After all, his two friends were going there, why should he be the one to go another way?

Having secured what he came here for, James turned to look at Adam and shot him a provocative smile.

"There, you have their answers. Are you still planning to follow them to our Tower?" He asked.

Adam did not respond and only gave all of them hateful glares before leaving, the rest of the crowd also began to disperse slowly in

His arm was caught in midair by a powerful grip. The man turned back to see who it was that had grabbed his arm and was met by a pair of sharp green eyes.

It was James!

Glen's face showed one of excitement upon seeing James, Ralph equally sighed in relief.

"Now now, who might you be trying to harm a trainee of the Owen Tower?" James asked with a cold smile that sent shivers down the spines of the four men.

" T-tower master?" The man whose arm was grabbed by James stuttered fearfully.

"Hmm, you know me?" James asked with raised eyebrows while releasing the man's arm from his grip.

The four of them quickly moved to the side and bowed to James while introducing themselves.

"We are Nexulytes of the Owen Tower, I and my squad have been tasked with guarding one of the outskirts around San Pluto for years now," The leader said.

" Yet you choose to bully those weaker than you? Looks like the discipline of the Tower is lacking, the four of you are coming with me" James said before strolling past them while the faces of the four men turned pale. They looked at Glen's group one last time with disbelieving gazes before hastily following James.

Ralph saw that Ivan was still standing with his head lowered even after James had left with the four men, he approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It's alright now, they will most likely never bother you again, let's go," He said as they left for the parking space.
