As Tom and the Army is busy cleaning up Enigma City, Shadow Unit is also busy looking for Big Budda,
Arc was on a meeting with Lisa and Vice-admiral Sheila Jones as well as Admiral Jackson Ford.
The three arrive unannounced and immediately ask for a meeting with Arc. When Arc found out about it, he stops his training sessions as he knows it is important if the three of them are here together.
"What you're asking is impossible Admiral." Said Arc.
They have been like this for the past 2 hours, it turns out that the big guys of GALACTIC FORCE ALLIANCE or GFA found out about his special Food Solutions and also want a supply of it.
Arc was pissed as he rushes to the meeting believing some kind of important events happens for those three to come to him together, it turns out it was just them asking for more supply of special solutions.
The three can only smile wryly as they can tell Arc was pissed by their sudden arrival. They can tell what is on his mind, but they were also powerless in the matter.
It turns out Commander Markos Deacon got drunk on one of the parties with his colleagues and blurted his secret on his youthful appearance. And ever since he got the solutions from Arc his Old and weak Appearance has greatly changed and become an enigma to his colleagues but commander Markos Deacon remains tight lip about his miraculous recovery until he got drunk and accidentally blurted it out.
So now here they are, the top officials immediately ask Vice-admiral Sheila Jones, and Lisa, even Admiral Markos get caught in affairs when the top found out he has a good relationship with Arc.
"Admiral, if I agree to your demand I will have to reduce my family consumption as well we took back all your shares in the solutions, but even if I did that it's not enough to supply what you're demanding."
Ford knows what they are asking is too much. And the three of them don't want to lose their share of the miraculous Solutions, so they can only curse Commander Markos for his blunder.
"Is there no other way?" Ask Admiral Ford helplessly.
"It's not like there isn't. But the cost is just too much." Said Arc.
Admiral Ford sigh, "well I'm pretty sure the higher-ups are willing to pay for it..."
Admiral Ford silently opens the connection for the higher up to listen to their conversation. Of course, Admiral Ford informs Arc about it in secret, as he didn't want his relationship with Arc to be damaged because of it. So they agree to talk first before letting the higher-ups join in.
Arc. "Good to see you again." Admiral Ford repeats his Greetings as they discussed before.
"You too Admiral, there must be an emergency if even you are here to see me, Admiral. Good to see both of you again Lisa, Vice Admiral Shiela." Said Arc playing along.
Both Lisa And Sheila Smile and greeted back.
"So what's the big news that you have come in person announce Admiral?"
Ford, pickup the annoyed tone of Arc, and think for himself "look like he is still pissed, did we interrupt him having sex or something?" Admiral ford smiles back and said, "not really an emergency but it comes directly from the top."
"Oh, that's something lets hear it then," said Arc. Smiling back at Admiral Ford. Of course, he didn't forget to add a little bit of annoyed tone into it.
Well, in fact, he was annoyed at first but after thinking about it, he saw it as an opportunity to scam those top officials of GFA.
So he Asks Eve about it and started thinking about what will he ask in return.
As Admiral Ford, began to tell him again about the reason for their visit, he was pretending to listen but in reality, he was talking with Eve regarding what to ask GFA in return for his special solutions.
Of course, in order for the top to not find out about this play of theirs, he is acting his part well.
"But admiral what your asking is impossibleā¦."
They repeated their conversation, of course, he didn't say anything about the share of Admiral and the two girls with him, making them sigh in relief as if the higher up found out about it it would be a miracle if they were able to keep it for themselves. Even Admiral Ford is no exception to that, for he was just one of the lowest rank Admiral in the newly Formed GFA.
Soon they finished their acting and comes to the point where their negotiation stop earlier.
"It's not exactly impossible but the cost is too much for us..."
"I'm sure we can talk about it," said Admiral Ford.
"Well to produce more of that special solutions we have to dedicate all our production of solutions to making it cutting off more than 50% of our regular solution output that includes military-grade. We're supplying you. Not only that we will be using 100 times more resources to just produce an additional 100 of it a month. So tell me is it still worth it? Said Arc.
Admiral Ford frown, not just him everyone listening has a frown on their face. Even Markos didn't expect the cost of producing it would be that much. At first, he still thinks Arc gets the better of him if only by a little, now he thinks he won the lottery. As the deal he has with Arc is under The first Bank and can't be changed.
"Can't you just increase the production facility? Ask Admiral Ford.
"It's not that easy, as each solution are being produced by different machine the higher the grade of the solutions the more sophisticated it is.
So in order to produce more special solutions we have to convert 2 of our 5 military grade production facilities. To produce 100 more special solutions. It took us many years to develop the facility so it won't be easy to produce it, not to mention the amount of high-grade materials needed to create it. Why do you think we ask for a place in Liberty in the first place?" Arc look at Admiral Ford for a bit and smile.
"Materials" said Admiral Markos.
"thats right, to get more materials and thats not for just any regular solutions. think about it if its easy to produce why would I not put it on the market? with its effect even if we ask for a very high price no one would complain. the problem is its just cost too much to produce. and thats the reality." said Arc.
