Chapter 366: Reactions
( Meanwhile the players )
It was not only the big business owners and the NPC’s in the world of Terra Nova who were shocked by the new product line of the White Tiger Group, but it was also the players who were.
A lot of viral posts on the global forums started a debate amongst the netizens regarding this new product line, as the name ‘Leo Skyshard’ came into the spot-light once again.
“The new theme for this year is ‘Legacy’, and while most players have still not figured out how they can create a lasting impact within the world of Terra Nova, the number two player ‘Leo Skyshard’ has already created the biggest disruption in the world of trade and commerce.
The new White Tiger Group product line is all designed and manufactured by him and he is probably earning millions of gold coins a day while also establishing his name as a household brand.
Forget about ‘TheBoss’, I think ‘Leo Skyshard’ is the true top player that everyone needs to look-out for”.
” The NPC’s are all buzzing over the new ‘Master’ Alchemist ‘Leo Skyshard’ and while I don’t know anything about the authenticity of this claim, as an alchemist myself, I must say that the path to reaching the realm of a ‘Master’ in any profession is next to impossible.
If true, Leo Skyshard is probably going to change the entire Empire with his products with even the Emperor begging for his help to cure ailments, as the Empire has not seen the birth of a ‘Master’ alchemist since its inception many centuries ago”
“No way! Don’t tell me that while I struggle to save a few dozen gold coins for my weapon, some random ***** is earning hundreds of thousands of gold coins a day? Partnering up with the biggest firm?”“Leo Skyshard is a tycoon! He is the richest player in the game without a doubt and is most likely going to become even richer as time goes on.
If I were a top player I’d probably fall on his knees and beg him to invest in me, as he is quite literally the ‘King Maker’ now–”
“All of ya’ll have lost your damn minds. The Leo Skyshard guy has most likely got his hands on a potion book and you fools are hyping him as the greatest player alive.
I’m pretty sure that nor is he a master alchemist, nor is he the richest man around as ‘TheBoss’ must surely be richer.
Also, the #1 player is ‘TheBoss’ and you can’t compare him to a fool like ‘Leo Skyshard’ ”
The forums were in a melt-down over Leo Skyshard’s new product range with everyone excited to try them.
While the discussions about Leo Skyshard and his wealth were wild, the report on his products was universally well accepted with the players that bought it reviewing it as a cheaper and superior alternative to products already available in the market.

( Meanwhile Leo )
While the entire world debated about ‘Leo Skyshard’ and his identity, Leo himself toured his factories and checked in on his laborers unaware that the White Tiger Group was holding a massive product launch today.
Detached from the world, he only focused on his own job, while all the major business tycoons searched for him desperately.
Not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine the waves that his product launch was going to create, as it opened countless unexpected avenues for him that he could never have anticipated.
While he toured his factory, there were 3 major factions who decided to get-in touch with him.
Firstly, it was Cervantez, who, surprised by Leo’s success, wanted to offer him a partnership deal, to discuss which he called Luke into his office first.
Knowing how impulsive Leo was, he decided to let Luke handle him since his elder brother knew him best, and Leo was less likely to snap at him versus Cervantez.
Secondly, it was one of the ‘Uprising’ guild recruitment chiefs, who decided to personally recruit ‘Leo Skyshard’ to their cause as he felt that a merchant of his stature could bring a lot of value to the guild.
Without consulting ‘ChaosBringer’ this guild member set-off for the Eastern Dukedom where Leo was currently rumored to be residing, with his goal being to recruit them under the guilds fold.
Finally, it was the Emperor ‘Julien D Evanus’ himself who took notice of Leo and his products, as he sent summons to both Shane and Leo to come meet him in person in a month’s time.
While Leo was unaware about all these developments and how the other major business owners were currently searching for him desperately, he was soon going to find out how his second identity was slowly gaining as much popularity as his first one.

( Meanwhile Jacob )
Jacob also glanced over the forums and felt a sense of pride well-up within him as he observed the current viral discussions about Leo’s success.
Currently, not only was that child of his second on the global leveling rankings, but was also a killer businessman who seemed to have taken the entire business world by storm and Jacob could not be any more proud.
Before his kids were born, Jacob always worried whether they would grow up to become cold blooded killers like him or would they be kind and calm like Elena, and this was a question that followed him throughout his various deployments as well, as he often wondered as to how his kids would turn out to be.
Now that he saw Leo having become a successful merchant, he breathed a sigh of relief as he felt slightly relieved that his son did not turn out like him and was intelligent and multi-talented like his mother instead.
“Elena raised them right…. I’m happy that my children are not ruthless killers like me–” he muttered to himself, before stalking his next prey, as he needed to kill a player today, to ensure that his level was not reset to 0.
