Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2599 1432: The Administrators' Surprise and Delight

With a casual wave of Leo Ray's arm, the Manager's Castle Hall was instantly flooded with a brilliant, shimmering light.

A vast collection of gleaming weapons, sturdy armor, and shields manifested before the administrators, piled high like several small mountains.

The administrators stood frozen, their gazes locked onto the sudden mountain of equipment in stunned silence.

Even though their full-cover battle helmets concealed their faces, the heavy silence that filled the room made it obvious that every single one of them was wide-eyed with shock.

Leo Ray remained calm and composed, quietly enjoying the absolute silence that had gripped the hall.

He hadn't revealed any Sixth-order Equipment; instead, he had brought out over a thousand pieces of high-quality Tier 5 gear. Nevertheless, the value of this haul was equal to the profits a Shadow Market would reap after successfully trading a hundred pieces of Sixth-order Equipment.

Based on his prior inquiries with his own administrators, this volume of equipment reached a height that most Shadow Markets overseeing Second-tier Powers would struggle to achieve within a single ranking cycle.

With the backing of these items, the rankings of the four managers standing before him would undoubtedly skyrocket!

The Shadow Market's ranking system didn't just calculate the quantity of equipment acquired; it also measured the depth of influence within a territory. This hoard clearly surpassed what any ordinary Third-class force could possibly provide.

"Naturally, given my current reserves, producing Sixth-order Equipment wouldn't be difficult. However, as our administrators suggested, this isn't the moment to be overly high-profile and attract unnecessary attention."

"At my current stage, I haven't yet reached the status of a Second-tier Power. As a Third-class force, I only need to display the foundation and heritage appropriate for such a level."

"While the amount of Tier 5 Equipment I've shown exceeds the typical limits of a Third-class force, it isn't enough to provoke the greed of Second-tier Powers or First-class forces. This was the strategy decided upon after consulting with the administrators."

"In any case, a thousand pieces of high-quality Tier 5 equipment are more than enough to make these managers submit."

At that moment, Leo Ray saw Manager K snap out of his daze. Forcing himself to remain calm, K remarked, "Your Majesty of the Humans, I must admit that the Human Clan's heritage far surpasses any lone Third-class force. However, Your Majesty must realize that the Desert Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance are both comprised of over ten Third-class forces that have been at war for years. Even the local Second-tier Power finds it difficult to interfere with them."

"That is true, Your Majesty. We are merely a neutral Shadow Market. Simply showing off your heritage holds no real importance for us."

Manager L cleared his throat before adding, "K and I were both forced out of the Second-tier Power circles, so we have seen great things. The true depth of those major forces is far beyond your imagination..."

Before L could finish his sentence, Leo Ray let out a soft chuckle. "Honorable Managers, who said I was just showing off my heritage? I am putting the very profits you have been desperately seeking right in front of you."

"Respected Your Majesty of the Humans, are you implying that all of this is meant to be our profit?!"

L’s voice, already sharp, cracked as it rose in pitch, his tone becoming noticeably more respectful as the words escaped him.

"Your Majesty, please do not toy with us. No force would ever reveal its entire heritage like this."

K’s voice was thick with disbelief as he added, "You must understand, even though these are Tier 5, the utility and value of high-quality Tier 5 equipment are leagues above standard Tier 5 gear!"

"Gentlemen, the matters I am dealing with involve the lives of my comrades and the very survival of the forces under my banner. Do you truly think I would joke about such things?"

Leo Ray’s smile vanished, replaced by a look of grim seriousness. "These thousand pieces of high-quality Tier 5 equipment are staying right here; they will be placed under N's care. This includes the advanced market. As long as you provide the proper assistance and make meaningful contributions, I will have N settle the accounts with you."

A slight smirk returned to Leo Ray’s face as he looked at the gathered managers. "Do you still believe that partnering with me only offers petty profits?"

"Respected Your Majesty of the Humans, certainly not! Aligning ourselves with a great Monarch such as yourself is the most enduring choice we could make!"

L scrambled forward to be the first to speak. "Normally, when we manage a standard market, we can barely secure mediocre Tier 4 Equipment and items. Even over a long period, those gains couldn't possibly compare to your magnificent generosity!"

"L speaks the absolute truth. To be able to partner with a Monarch as magnanimous as Your Majesty is truly our greatest honor!"

The usually stoic and composed K didn't hesitate to speak up, firmly declaring his loyalty.

It was clear why they were so eager; both he and L had been demoted to overseeing Third-class forces due to the internal politics and schemes of other managers, losing their high rankings in the process.

A drop in rank meant that the Market Elder Council would strip away a portion of the market's combat power and drastically cut their benefits. They even faced the risk of being targeted by higher-ranking markets, which could lead to their deaths.

After all, the Market Elder Council only cared about the amount of profit a Shadow Market could generate; everything else was irrelevant to them.
