Daniel spent the following few days directing the expansion of the company to a regional level. He sent his group members to most cities, where they purchased multiple shops in several location, and confirmed their position in the area.

"Who are those people?" Asked a middle aged woman from near the entrance of the restaurant, with a worried tone.

"I guess that this answers the question about whether you are disappointed or not in my group’s performance. Or am I wrong?" Daniel asked with a smug grin on his face. The green-robed man and a couple of other company heads turned to look at Daniel, and after getting rid of their shocked expressions, one of them said "There is no need to rub it in our faces Mr. Hiel.. no one likes a petty winner."

"Mr. Hiel. How do you think your people will do now?" Asked one of the company leaders to Daniel. Daniel seemed a bit distracted. Only half of his attention was directed at what was happening around him, while the remaining half, was focused on what had happened earlier that morning. "They will do fine.." Responded Daniel casually, while feigning a faint smile. The test of lightning essence was identical to those conducted for the various other elements. They would be asked to produce a…

"Mr Hiel, please wait a moment." Said a voice that came from behind him. Daniel turned around, and standing behind him, he saw the nine-fingered man smiling politely at him. "The event’s host.

The people that had bet with Daniel showed dispirited faces, as they slowly came to peace with the fact that there was a fifty percent chance that they would end up losing a lot of money. The…

"It’s just luck.. Just luck." Responded Daniel while turning towards the administratives of the ’Heart’s Warmth’ company, and smiling politely. "Oh, don’t say that.. I cannot even imagine the enormous amount of effort that those two young men have put to reach that level." Said another old man from behind the leader of their group.
