Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family - Chapter 1129 Amazing ice cream

Chapter 1129  Amazing ice cream

The fiery eagle slash travelled through the air like an apex predator, hunting its target with absolute viciousness. The bully swordsman felt the heat coming down onto him. But this was impossible! Fenix was supposed to be a cripple. His Aubility Power should only be limited to the 4th stage of the Body Formation realm. Yet, that slash was definitely in the same realm as the 7th stage!

“Kyaaa!” the bully screamed, dodging out of the way.

But it seemed that his actions weren’t that much needed at all. The eagle was never intended to target him. It was intended to target the straw dummy in front of him.

The eagle crashed into the straw target, completely disintegrating it into white dust that scattered into the air.

And in that moment, everything stopped.

That power was unlike anything that Fenix had ever produced before. In short, it was powerful. Its intensity was even comparable to that of the Knights like Sir Arthur and the others!

This was evidenced by the fact that Fenix gathered all attention to him. Each and every one of their Sword Hearts were beating wildly, with their intuition telling them that Fenix was not an opponent that they should take lightly.

Of course, there was only one conclusion people could take from this.

Fenix was cured of his long-lasting injury.

“How is his Sword Heart functional? I thought there was no cure for that?!”

“That’s what everyone thought too. But clearly, they were wrong.”

“Has he been hiding this power all along?”

“Unlikely. If he wanted to surprise others, then he would have revealed this power tomorrow.”

Immediately, the Conglomerates and the Upper Echelons began a frantic discussion about Fenix.

This show of power was enough to take their attention. Which meant that now, Fenix was a worthy Knight to sponsor.

After all, Fenix was a proper genius before he had his accident. He was being discussed on the same level as Sir Arthur. And if his Sword Heart truly was cured, then that meant that Fenix was now an unmistakable treasure. He was a diamond in the rough.

The Zentmeister Patriarch whispered to his employee. “Do everything you can to get Fenix into our sponsor program. I have a feeling that he’s going to be big in the competition tomorrow.”

And after a few minutes, his employee came back to him with some bad news.

“Sir. He’s already sponsored.”

The Zentmeister Patriarch frowned. “Who?”

That question was soon answered when Fenix began eating spoonfuls of chocolate ice cream from the take-out bag.

“The Reborn company…”

The other Conglomerates and Upper Echelons were flabbergasted when they discovered this.

Why was the Reborn Company so lucky every time? They happened upon a new technological discovery many times before, and now they seemed to discover about Fenix’s fixed Sword Heart before anyone else! How were they doing it?

…

…

…

Fenix felt good as he swung his sword. The movements that he felt awkward doing before were now nothing more than a simple, fluid swing. He felt free.

“Yo Fenix!”

He turned around and saw his friends approach him. They were Knights too. But unlike most who abandoned him when he had his accident, this small group of friends were the only ones who stayed by his side. They were loyal to him even when he was at his lowest. They trained with him even when it seemed that he was untrainable.

“You look great, Fenix. What happened?”

“Is your Sword Heart really fixed? How can you use Aubility Power that well?”

“You better have not sold your soul to a devil to do this.”

Fenix laughed at his friends’ insinuation. He did meet a devil, but he didn’t have to sell his soul to fix his Sword Heart.

“You want to know how I fixed my Sword Heart? It’s thanks to this.”

He showed them the cone of chocolate ice cream. They looked at him as if he had completely lost his mind.

“That’s… is that food?”

“I saw that before. That’s a dessert from the McTony’s restaurant!”

“Fenix. You can’t be serious. Why are you crediting a dessert for your recovery? Are you trying to hide some experimental medicine panacea that you can’t discuss anywhere else?”

Of course, the best way for them to truly understand the truth was to experience it themselves.

“Try it out. You’ll see,” he said.

Now, if these weren’t Fenix’s friends, he wouldn’t have told them about this cheat code. After all, just consuming this chocolate ice cream would immediately boost someone’s Aubility Power by almost a single level!

He gave them each a cone, and they looked at the dessert with doubt and confusion.

It wasn’t until one of them finally took the leap and ate a spoonful did he finally understand what Fenix meant.

The Knight felt his entire body heating up, with Aubility Power coursing through his body with so much power and intensity.

“WHAT?!”

His outburst caught everyone’s attention. He didn’t mind that. He quickly brought out his sword and swung it forwards, a great gale of wind suddenly manifesting into a dragon.

The dragon roared until it hit the straw dummy, which quickly burst and sent millions of straw strands everywhere.

“Woah!” exclaimed the spectators. “Who is he?!”

“Why is a random Knight suddenly manifesting a power equal to that of the tournament favorites?!”

Then, it was at that moment when another Knight suddenly burst out with a new power slash, destroying a nearby straw dummy by turning it into stone and crumbling under the wind.

“What?! Another one?”

The next Knight began eating chocolate ice cream. And he too exhibited the same symptoms.

“This is absolutely crazy! What is happening over there?!”

It wasn’t just one, or two, or three. Five seemingly normal Knights have now exhibited strength that was way beyond that of what they were known to produce!

It was at this point when people realized that something must have caused this sudden change in power.

And some of the sharp-eyed spectators were able to realize that whenever a Knight exploded with unprecedented power, it was always preceded by him eating that swirly dessert that they kept on eating.

“Could it be that? Is it because of this… ice cream?”

“What? No way. You’re crazy.”

“No, no, look! They keep on eating that ice cream. Isn’t it weird that they’re doing that while training? They wouldn’t do that unless they know that it benefits their session!”

As much of a fantastical guess that was, some people couldn’t help but see the connection between power and the dessert.

And as the time passed, and these groups of Knights alongside Fenix kept on producing extraordinary power, people began to believe the story.

“That ice cream must be the reason why they became stronger!”

“Where did they get that from?”

“That’s from the McTony’s restaurant. Hey, can you reserve my seat? I gotta order that for myself now!”

Even if the chocolate ice cream didn’t work, the fact that these Knights were eating it so publicly meant that the spectators were going to correlate the two whether they wanted to or not.

That was just how human psychology worked. If their favorite athlete used a certain product, they would think that product was a part of the reason why they became so good at their sport.

That’s what the Conglomerates and the Upper Echelon companies depended on. That’s how they sold their products.

But there was one stark difference between their products and the Reborn company products.

It’s that Michael’s products worked.

As the hours passed, Michael found a huge uptick of people ordering chocolate ice cream from their kiosks.

It was also very conducive to their plan that there was a kiosk conveniently near the Knightly Court where people could order their food.

Reborn Delivery Drivers went into overdrive as they had to deliver thousands upon thousands of ice cream cones to these curious spectators.

At one point, ice cream cones even surpassed the sales of McTony’s chicken!

As the day wound down, a large portion of people watching the practice area had an ice cream cone in their hands. They found the dessert to be very refreshing, especially during this hot summer day.

And of course, this earned the ire of the Anti-Automobile faction among the Upper Echelons.

Now, it probably had to be renamed as the Anti-Reborn faction since they knew they had lost the automobile war long ago.

“This is supposed to be our time to take back customers! How is the Reborn company gathering more tokens than us?!”

“It’s all because of those Knights. Now, the spectators were deluded into thinking that the ice cream could somehow give them power.”

“… it does.”

The group of Upper Echelon Patriarchs turned to the person who just spoke.

“What?”

“It works. I tried it out myself. The chocolate ice cream increases Aubility Power.”

Immediately, the old men in the room turned silent. And a few seconds later, they commanded their employees to verify this information.

It wasn’t long before they all had ice cream in their hands.
