"Maybe." Rake thought and carefully weighed the veracity of the system's words. After a few breaths, he decided to think about later. There was a much pressing matter before him at the moment.
"Give me fries, burger and soft drinks! All of them extra-large!" Rake instructed.
"Affirmative, host." the system responded and within a half breath, delivered on its word. The items hovered in the air before Rake.
"THUD!" he sat where he stood and did not mind any impropriety in his appearance nor did he release the sorry captives in his midst.
His three food items followed his position and he grabbed and ate without finesse.
"Look at him! I bet he's purposely doing that so that we'll beg for food later on. He'll ask some shady equivalent payment for each piece of rice we'd eat. That's what i bet!"
"I hope not. But i can still last a few months without food at least. I won't bow and grovel at that man's feet no matter what!"
Rake finished eating in no time and after he was sated and had fed his immediate needs, that was when he realized how unseemly he had been.
He stood up in a blink and connected with a few grudging eyes of his summoned women. Are they also hungry? Rake thought and felt guilty about it.
"Give them the same food I've had." he ordered once again and without further ado, three identical nourishments were given unto every woman in his care.
"Don't eat it! I bet its laced with aphrodisiac!"
"What a horrible horrible man!"
"A petty trick! Do you think we can be fooled that easily?!"
"A dickhead indeed. Pfft!" The women all had their own ideas and never even reached for the items that levitated enticingly before them.
"CRUNCH!" a soft bite was heard even over the dim of the lunatic man who had continued to shout his threats after all this time.
The level 5 cultivators perceived the lovely chews and licks that occurred and it was further nailed in by the positive appraisal afterwards.
"It tastes soooooooooo goooooooooood!"
"Why did you eat it?!"
"It's poisoned!"
"Spit it out! Quickly!" The women said no words but only sent their spiritual senses on the woman in question.
"You can't know that! And even if it was really poisoned, then let me be the first victim on that man's slimy clutches. I love you all! Don't forget my sacrifice to the cause!"
the woman responded with a wordless message of her own and continued on eating all the stuff up.
With how fast and strong a cultivator could eat, everything was over before the 20th breath had even elapsed.
"She's doomed! I bet she'd go begging and crawling for his cock right now."
"SOFIA! YOU FOODIE! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?!" someone who was close with the girl cried inside.
Though she had wanted to race towards her friend and perhaps take the poisonous things by hand if she had to but with the early directives of their master, she could not even budge an inch from her spot.
All she could do was smile and stand there like a delicate flower to enliven up the scene.
But her eyes threw deadly daggers towards the man who took comfort in other people's demise.
"Now then, time for the fun to finally begin." she heard her master's words and all her fears redoubled with Rake's bared evil.
Hateful! she cussed within.
Rake looked at the throng of fallen peoples and decided on his next move. Business. But before that he had to check something first.
"Are those seven still there?"
"Affirmative, host."
"What are they doing?"
"Just watching your every movement, host. Do you want me to ban them from seeing the inside of your domain?"
"Don't. Let them be for now." Rake concluded. Those top tiers of existences were not his enemies and he also did not want to make them one. He did not forget his purpose in this world.
"Release them." he ordered as he addressed the defeated crowd before him.
"Affirmative, host." The men and women all stood up while some of them hesitated to act rashly. But this was certainly not true to one person.
"I'll fucking kill you!"
BOOM! the scene turned chaotic with the forces unleashed by the raving man.
His body appeared golden yet his eyes became dark moons that eclipsed whatever radiance that exuded from any part of his physique.
This was a result of the cultivation technique he practiced that numbed his rational mind down to accommodate the rage that was within him.
This extreme anger fueled his tenacity and it had even added more potency to the might that he was currently exuding.
"Throw him out." Rake instructed.
BANG! The devil torn man halted in midair for a breath before the doors of the exit spat him out of the place.
"Was he killed?"
"I don't think so."
"Was his cultivation attainments abolished?"
"Not that I've seen."
"He's been forgiven just like that? Curious." People around had their own thoughts.
"As i've said before, i am here to do business. You. Come." Rake pointed at a random old man and started showcasing what he had to offer with his magical peanuts.
Above the clouds, seven mythical beings chatted with each other.
"Did you see that?"
"Hmmm…"
"An item that could restart time."
"Interesting."
"I'd love to have my hands on one to research its roots."
"They have a strong woman amongst them. Finally, I've found a worthy bride for myself!"
"....."
"So it is indeed real!"
"My sect will monopolize this treasure!"
"Fascinating!" The gathered experts were surprised at the miracle that laid before their eyes.
Although most could not fully gauge its effectiveness on the oldest sages of their kind where the best magical elixirs and longevity potions only bring a few days of more life into them, but some of the select few has had an edge towards the others.
