As Scholar Jacob's words rang in their ears, each person present within the group had their own ideas about it. Lady Amelia immediately thought of notifying her father. Mr. Cuber decided to keep an even closer eye on Isaiah on his future endeavors to not miss the chance to invest early. Scholar Jacob was mostly curious about the methods he had used in the decryption of the formation, and last but not least, Miss Lermina's resolve for backing up Terry Incendino in the succession race was further strengthened, but knowing her big brother had Isaiah as a backing made her heart at ease.

Isaiah simply smiled at their reactions and didn't talk much about it; there was nothing to boast about, as it was all evident already. He did, however, without even asking if they were going to back the project up, simply asked, "So how many members are you buying the service for, and what will your contributions be?" He took out a small notebook and a pen, his gaze on them as he waited for their response.

Mr. Cuber was the first to speak, "I'm going to buy it for my family and business, also I will help you with the acquisition of the property in Chasm District. In total, I need 120 formation cards."

He gave a low estimate, as he obviously employed a lot more people, but these were the ones who he thought would need the most.

Currently, Isaiah couldn't really give out signal to the Chasm District, which was the main business area of the empire, so Cuber decided to pull his connections to help him out. His main reasoning beyond just the discount was more so to get acquainted with Isaiah for future business opportunities.

Surprisingly, Scholar Jacob spoke second, "I will need it for 20 people. I will opt to pay the full price." He also had a group of employees and students under him which the technology would be useful for, since his area already received signal, he decided to simply pay the full price.

Then spoke Miss Lermina with newfound confidence, "We will be buying 130 accounts. I'm sure we should be counting as having already made a contribution, right?" Hearing her, Isaiah nodded.

Terry had indeed helped him in the fight with The Masked Duke, so he would obviously receive the discount. Isaiah wasn't a sleazy businessman, especially when it came to business; he was an honest man. He valued the trust his customers had for him more than the little gains he would receive from scamming them and losing that trust.

Miss Lermina was buying these 130 for only Terry's supporters, hence giving him an edge in the competition. Obviously, it was still a question if Isaiah would also sell it to his competition, as there was no agreement saying he couldn't.

Lady Amelia, despite being previously the most outspoken among the group, was seeming a bit hesitant. "I would love to give you a number right now, but I will have to speak to my father directly before I can do so." Her concerns didn't originate from the money they would have to pay for the subscription but more so that there was no connection going to the Noble District as of right now, and it would be hard to pull strings for Isaiah to affordably buy properties as there were no cheap options, so she would first ask her father whether he had connections available.

Isaiah, sensing her concerns, simply chuckled with a tint of desire in his eyes, "Lady Amelia, you can speak to your father, do keep in mind that I'm willing to pay large sums." He really wanted the network to extend all the way into the Noble District.

Just today, he had gained a monthly income of 1,200,000 GC, an immense increase in his total earning. However, after counting in his maintenance expenses, it would end out to be roughly 749,680 GC. His maintenance cost per formation was 2k a month; he had 52 in total as of right now, which equaled 450,320 a month.

It was a highly profitable business, especially considering 749,680 wasn't even all the service he could provide with 52 formations. They would soon make even more money for him as his network of connections expanded.

Isaiah couldn't help but break out a laugh as he took the notes down, which no one within the group paid much attention to. "With this much, I can hoard the entirety of the auctions' light items," he had been stuck at Rank 1 Initial for far too long, nearly a month by now.

Which for a normal Rank 1 wasn't too long, but Isaiah was no average man; he wanted more and faster, hence he was pretty excited about the prospects of this auction now that he had cash to burn. He desperately wanted to enter Rank 1 Middle, as it would help him a lot in every way possible. Ranks were the fundamental aspect of each being in this universe, even just a single Minor Realm boost was immense, especially in the hands of someone like Isaiah.

He also wished to collect more metals if possible; he wanted to build himself something cool for the future. But for now, it was in the drafts until he had all the needed materials.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for your time. I wish to speak with each of you in private as well if you have time in the future." With that, Isaiah concluded the meeting. Most of the group left, being busy people by nature, but being a Scholar, Jacob had a lot of free time in his hands. He inquired, "Mr. Isaiah, once again, it was a pleasure to meet a revolutionary formation mind like yours." He coughed awkwardly while caressing his beard, "Would you mind giving me a few hints regarding your decryption technique?"

Isaiah laughed hearing the man in front of him, "Well, Scholar Jacob, if you agree to pay me 1B GC, I will directly give you the entire blueprint." His laughter got louder, knowing his ask was unreasonable. Jacob wasn't bummed; instead, he joined him in his laughter. Then, after a bit of small talk about formations, he also left.

Now it was just Isaiah and his uncle Louie, who had been relatively silent during the meeting due to not really being a part of it. Isaiah turned to look at the man with a smug grin, "Seems like the business genius title of the Dominus Family is shifting to me, he he." Hearing his nephew's boasting joke and seeing his competitive spirit made Louie chuckle, "Well, I, at least, am married with a beautiful woman and have a happy family." This was a deep cut joke.

Isaiah chuckled but didn't answer. "I had more wives than you have seen women," he thought to himself, as he watched the sunset on the horizon. His mind did wander to his wives, especially his first wife and second wife; they were both women who had a large impact on his mind. One had taught him how to love, while the other taught him how to love when he felt like he had no more love within him anymore, both forever decorating his mind even after he changed universes and had been reborn.
