When Zion has reached the restaurant, everyone was waiting for him anxiously. Zion walked towards them and took a seat. "So, I guess we were up to date on the schedule. What about the registration of the company, is everything smooth?" Zion was eager to know the progress in the opening of the company.

"No, it was not smooth, but I called Blake and our company has been officially established and can start the operation at any time. I also brought a few factories you recommended. The patents were registered and all we had to do is market the product. The launch is important and we couldn't risk any sort of derailment on it." Vincent let everyone know the situation the company currently in.

"I have also registered Zion enterprise which would control the research and development of the entire firm while owning a seventy percent stockholder rights in Eternal Inc. where we each will get a ten percent each."

Greely was the first one to voice the opinion after listening to the explanation of Vincent. "We haven't seen any of the prototypes you mentioned Zion, are you sure this won't be a joke? I have pawned everything I have to invest in you don't forget that."

"Trust me alright, I have discussed with my mother and she was willing to give a hand. We would be conducting an expo of few of our products and the business magnate in the silver city would be there." Zion replied to Greely and comforted him. Zion also asked Vincent to arrange few assistants for him to manage his tasks. After all, he cannot expect Vincent to do everything.

The meeting of this four people continued for a while as they laid down the things that have to do for the smooth operation of Eternal Inc. After a few hours, they reached a consensus and decided to separate for the day. Zion invited Blake and started to talk with him in extreme secrecy.

"How are things going? If there are any problems contact me."

"You cannot expect to have these things done with a snap of the fingers, Zion. It takes time and why do you need the underground fighters in the first place?" Blake was advising the risk of the nature of work he has been doing and why it would be a waste with no sense of profitability.

"You cannot view everything in a short-term eyes Blake, the influence we would be having over the underworld may be what saves our life next time. Respect and wealth don't matter if your words do not have the power it needed." Zion looked in the eyes to see the thoughts of Blake and to let him devoid of any weakness Zion said, "We need them Blake and they must be loyal to us while we uphold our trust over them."

Zion knew that he alone was not enough to achieve what he desires. However, he knew that to move forward with the aspiration to be an Emperor is a treacherous path. What he has ever built would be the shackles that would trap him in the eternal damnation. 'Sometimes you don't realize the weight of a burden you've been carrying until you feel the weight of its release.'

Zion walked down without any thoughts on what to do with a deep contemplation on the worth of existence. Without any answers, he sighed and looked around; it was now that he realized he had walked for a long time and reached the beach. The sun was going to rest and a wind started to breeze around him. I had a cold and rejuvenated feeling and decided to let this feeling overwhelm him.

"So kid you were enjoying yourself huh!" An immature sound resounded in his mind.

"Ha… Vivus is that you?"

A form appeared before the Zion and it started to move around him and then stared at him. "You have been fooling around, Zion. I thought you would be working hard to make yourself stronger, but you did forget that when the time comes people follow the strongest."

"Wow, that was a wonderful quote and I thought you would be gone for a long time. You didn't explain much about the pendant and inheritance." Zion told Vivus begrudgingly.

"You see, I was in a deep sleep before meeting you and it was when you used explosive that I realized my fate with you is vanishing. Therefore, I took you with me as fate decreed. Do you still remember about fate and destiny? I realized that it would take me years to get into peak shape and mold a vessel capable of holding me. For now, it seems I could only communicate with you. So, I decided to be a wise and generous teacher for you."

Zion who was listening carefully until now was laughing maniacally at the predicament Vivus was in, as much as he hated to be watched over by Vivus, he was happy that there was at least a person with whom he could discuss his dilemma.

"So, you are stuck with me huh! Tell me about that pendant."

"There was nothing much to know, the inheritance was very much real, only your luck was bad. The spirit of the Pendant dissipated a few days before you claimed it. So the pendant was very much real and you could have operated it if a new spirit was born." Vivus shrugged and let him know about his past obsessiveness was futile to a certain degree. 'The greed can indeed blind your eyes'.

"Sometimes we just have to let things go, it's hard, but holding on to it would be harder." Vivus comforted Zion and continued, "This time we would be there in time. We also need to find that goddamn shop!"

"I never thought that merchant shop was a big deal," Zion said with a discontent voice.

"What do you know about them Zion, That was a God tier magical instrument and will only exist in this plane for a few years. You could purchase a lot from them with enough credit. But to get those credits it would be difficult, I don't need to tell you about the rare things from those shop."

Zion and Vivus talked most of the time and let the night over. Zion was now asleep on the beach sand while Vivus was trying to calculate something. It was bizarre, but no one has seen anything.

Vivus sat and started meditation, he was concentrating on something and it was painful. Every time he struggled, he was awfully sweating and heavily breathing. He sighed and looked at the Zion who was sleeping and muttered, 'I don't know what fate has kept for us, but I choose to trust you please don't disappoint me'.
