Daniel hesitated for a mont.
His original plan had been straightforward: clear all 100 Hell Mode underground labyrinths in one go. But circumstances had changed.
The Multiracial Comrce League had managed to collect the Griffin’s Eye ahead of schedule, and at the sa ti, the Human Emperor was now seeking a personal eting.
Given the situation, it made sense to return to Castle Mington—it wouldn’t cost much ti anyway.
With that in mind, Daniel activated [Flashback].
In the blink of an eye, his figure reappeared at the gates of the Multiracial Comrce League.
Since acquiring [Flashback], Daniel had adopted an entirely new approach to dungeon grinding: instead of progressing sequentially from one labyrinth to the next, he first traveled to all the labyrinths he planned to clear and used [Flashback] to mark each entrance.
Then, after completing one, he would teleport directly to the next entrance using Flashback again. This eliminated nearly all travel ti between labyrinths, allowing him to grind at maximum efficiency.
As for visiting the Multiracial Comrce League, it took even less effort. After all, it was one of his most frequented locations.
The light from the skill faded, and Daniel appeared inside the familiar grand lobby of the League.
Upon seeing him, Manager Harry was barely surprised. He simply blinked, then stepped forward and handed over a sealed crystal case containing the Griffin’s Eye.
Daniel glanced at it and confird its authenticity. Then, without any hesitation, he casually tossed out a mountain of equipnt from his dinsional backpack—right onto the floor.
Harry’s eyes went wide, shimring as though he were staring into a treasure vault.
But instead of gushing with greed, he respectfully spoke up:
"Lord Daniel, we’ve heard about the Southern calamity. It was thanks to your efforts that so many of our people survived. Our head has decided—this batch is on the house."
Daniel paused.
He hadn’t expected the Multiracial Comrce League to be this generous.
"Waiving the fee?" he asked, surprised. "Wouldn’t that cause losses for your League?"
Harry smiled, but then responded with rare honesty.
"Truthfully... we spent nearly two billion extra gold coins rushing the procurent of these Griffin’s Eyes within such a tight window. That doesn’t even include the material’s base value. If we were to tally everything..."
He trailed off, but Daniel already understood.
The League had taken a serious financial hit to deliver the order.
While the gesture was touching, Daniel wasn’t the kind of person to accept favors he hadn’t earned—not when he had the power to stand on equal footing.
"I appreciate your head’s kindness," Daniel said calmly, "but business is business, and friendship is friendship. I don’t want the two to be confused."
"Give a fair quote. Otherwise, I’ll have to end my partnership with the League."
Harry was briefly stunned—but the look he gave Daniel afterward was one of deep admiration.
In a world dominated by power, few strong individuals cared about fairness—yet Daniel insisted on principle. This wasn’t just strength—it was character.
"Please wait two minutes, Lord Daniel. I’ll report to the head right away."
Daniel nodded.
Two minutes later, Harry returned, this ti holding a thick folder.
He handed the docunt to Daniel and explained as he flipped through the contents:
"Your Highness, our head agrees with your decision. This is a complete cost breakdown of our procurent for the Griffin’s Eye batch. Please take a look."
"So items were acquired from competing rchant guilds, so the price may be slightly marked up."
Daniel scanned the contents. The prices were reasonable—if anything, the League had already discounted heavily to ease the burden on him.
He closed the folder and nodded.
"I understand. I’m happy to continue our partnership. Just deduct the paynt from the equipnt I’ve deposited with you."
Daniel was well aware that the Multiracial Comrce League was no charity. Every gold coin spent on him now would need to be repaid eventually—and he had no intention of owing anyone a favor he didn’t choose.
He then continued:
"From now on, I’ll supply your League with batches of equipnt at regular intervals. You can resell them and give a reasonable share of the profits. As for future material requests, I expect the fastest possible delivery. Price is not my concern."
He wasn’t bluffing.
His backpack contained thousands of high-tier items, including hundreds of orange-tier gear that most Awakeners would never see in a lifeti.
With a wave of his hand, Daniel deposited a portion of his inventory into the League’s warehouse.
He added one last instruction:
"Once you sell through these, let know. I’ll restock imdiately."
Manager Harry stood there, utterly stunned.
The gear Daniel had just provided—especially the orange-tier items—were treasures. Even for a 2-star Awakener, obtaining two or three a year would be considered extraordinarily lucky.
Yet Daniel... had just casually dumped hundreds.
It was beyond absurd. It was apocalyptic generosity.
Harry knew one thing for certain: for clients like Daniel, he would do anything—everything—to serve him well.
The amount of commission he had already earned from Daniel easily exceeded tens of millions of gold coins, not to ntion the rise in his status within the League’s internal hierarchy.
In short, Daniel had changed his life.
Vacation? Ti off?
What a joke.
He loved his job more than ever.
With everything settled, Daniel wasted no ti.
He left the League and headed straight to the next underground labyrinth on his list.
To others, it might have made sense to stay and wait for the Human Emperor, who would arrive soon.
But not for Daniel.
Every second counted. He had no ti to waste.
Thanks to [Flashback], he could appear at Castle Mington the instant he needed to. No delays.
Inside the labyrinth, Daniel opened his skill synthesis interface.
He combined the components necessary to unlock his next God Rank Skill:
[Eye of Insight]
The mont the skill ford in his mind, Daniel felt his perception shift.
And then the effects were revealed:
[God Rank Skill: Eye of Insight]
Effect 1: Converts your Mind Power into a sensory field that extends outward. The higher your Mind Power, the larger the field. Within this field, you can perceive everything in absolute clarity. Beings beneath god-level cannot detect your scan.
Effect 2: Instantly pierce all disguises and see the target’s true form.
Effect 3: Gain 99% ntal resistance, making your mind nearly invulnerable to spiritual attacks.
Daniel’s eyes glead with satisfaction.
This was the kind of skill he needed.
It wasn’t flashy or destructive—but it was fundantal, tactical, and almost omniscient.
It gave him absolute awareness in combat, made him immune to illusion and trickery, and nearly impervious to mind-based manipulation.
Now that he possessed [Flashback], [Forceful Convergence], and [Eye of Insight], Daniel was no longer just a powerhouse...
He was becoming a living legend.
