" What pest? What were the mages doing when the pest ate all the crops? You all are useless trash. First you guys couldn't properly kill the remaining Anderson clan members. Then you asshole couldn't find anything about my father's murderer. Now you say that our crops have been eaten by pest." Ivan roared in anger.
Ivan was currently in a meeting with other clan elders. There was 7 elders of Purcell clan. Each elder was responsible for a specific task. Every elder lowered their head and didn't speak back.
Especially the elder who was in charge of Ica plains. He himself didn't know what happened in the Ica plains. It's like a natural disaster came and went leaving everything destroyed.
" How are we going to feed the salves? Should we just let them die?" Ivan asked in anger.
" Patriarch, we have asked several merchants to lower the price but they refused." Another elder spoke.
" What about Ch'ang O? What did she say?" Ivan had a great impression of Ch'ang O.
" We are yet get our response from Ch'ang O." An Elder replied. " For now, let's wait for Ch'ang O response. In this crisis who ever merchant helps the Purcell clan will be given full authority to do business in Purcell territory. For now let's see which merchant is our friend." Iavn said.
" Worst cames to worst, we will just buy food from other old nobles." Ivan said with a sigh. These days is Iavn he have getting angry too much. He can't find the time to even properly rest. There was a frustration and anger built up inside.
" As for Anderson clan, I want to sent Xiaver to check the condition of Anderson clan. If there is any survivors left then directly end their life." Ivan wanted to release his build up frustration and anger on Anderson clan. Other elders also agreed with Ivan." I heard that Xavier is planning on exploring the Carrion Swamp, this is perfect opportunity to do both work at once."
....
" Grandpa, What do you think I should do now?" Ch'ang O asked while holding a letter from Purcell clan. The Purcell clan wanted Ch'ang O to not increase the price of the wheat.
" Other merchants will use this opportunity to increase the prices of food to another level. I fear lots of ordinary people will die or turned into salves if that happens." Anderson said.
" Grandpa, shouldn't we do the same thing to maximize our profits?" Ch'ang O asked.
" Ch'ang O in the business you must always go for long term investment. Even if we earn some extra golds using this crisis, after this crisis the Purcell clan will surely try to wipe us from their territory." Anderson said with a smile.
" But Grandpa, even we don't have that much food stock? Our food will only last for 1 day." Ch'ang O said with a frown. Now she was stuck between two sides. One side she didn't had enough foods and supplies to offer help to Purcell clan. Another side she cannot make Purcell clan her enemy.
" Miss, mister Sasuke have come to meet you. He is waiting outside." One of the maid of Ch'ang O said. Anderson and Ch'ang O looked surprised and looked at each other.
" Grandpa, how did Sasuke know where I live?" Ch'ang O was very confused. Anderson chuckled and replied. " Maybe through his shadows and don't forget he can use teleportation."
Ch'ang O looked at Anderson and asked. " Grandpa, do you really believe Sasuke had killed Sword Orgin?" Ch'ang O still couldn't believe that. Anderson smiled and said. "I am 90 percent sure. Let's go. It's not best to keep Sasuke waiting." Anderson and Ch'ang O walked out of the mansion of welcome Ash.
Ch'ang O saw Ash, his looks and height perfectly matched with the Zero of the Akatsuki. Ch'ang O shook her and walked in front of Ash." Welcome, mister Sasuke. I apologize for making you wait. Please come in." Ch'ang O noble aura along with a beautiful face made his heart beat quicken for a moment.
" Miss Ch'ang O is too polite. I apologize for sudden visiting you without any notice." Even Though Ash was a black mage he still had the Aura of a noble. Normally black mage have a frightening aura around them that keeps people away from them. But Ash was different in Ch'ang O's eyes. Ash was a rare genius who had reached 9th level at an very early age. To Ch'ang O Ash was the genius of Geniuses.
Before Ash teleport here, he already had changed his appearance to a ordinary boy. He was wearing the Orichimaru waist-covering and rope underneath it. Ash also had deactivated his Tenseigan.
" There is no need for Mister Sasuke to apologize. Please came in." Ash nodded and followed Ch'ang O into her mansion. Ch'ang O mansion was very luxurious. The mansion had a big living room where Ash was taken.
Ch'ang O personally gave Ash a cup of tea to show her respect for Ash." Thank you." Ash took the cup and sipped some tea. The tea was very refreshing and high quality. It had a unique taste.
" Actually, I was thinking of visiting you. I wanted to discuss our cooperation plan." Ch'ang O was also holding a cup of tea. Anderson didn't disturb them this time. After greeting Ash he went back to his room. Anderson was hoping to forge a connection between Ash and Ch'ang O.
" Please, I am listening." Ash said. Ch'ang O nodded." Mister Sasuke, all the items you have given us have been sold just within 2 to 3 days. Now people are demanding more of your products. Mister Sasuke, is it possible to sent another batch of magic radsih and lighting rabbit?"
Ash smiled as if he had expected his. After all, everything was alright predicted by Ash and Green way before. Ash knew that the products made in his space has a enhanced taste." Of course, please don't hesitate to ask for more products. I will let my shadows deliver everything to you."
Ch'ang O nodded and was relieved. Today more than 100 ordinary people was asking for magic radish or lighting rabbit. But Unfortunately everything was sold. One of Ch'ang O worries was finally solved.
" Miss, you should have heard about the pest Crisis in Ica plains?" Ash suddenly asked. Ch'ang O eyes light up and she asked in excitement. "I wanted to ask, does Mister Sasuke have enough grains for the Ica plains salves?"
Ash smiled and took out a corn. " Miss Ch'ang O, this is called corn. It's new products I developed after researching. The method of cooking corn is really simple." Ash gave a note to Ch'ang O. This note mentioned ways of cooking Corn in different ways.
Ch'ang O expression turned serious after reading the contents of the note." Mister Sasuke, how many corns you have? I need all of them. As long as the price is reasonable." Ch'ang O was planning to use her personal savings to buy all the corns from Ash and sell it to Purcell clan at very low price. Her main motivate was to establish a powerful connection with the Purcell clan.
Ash smiled and replied. " Right now, I have 10 million kg of corns. I will send them to you in 5 days. The corn needs to be processed so it will take few days. I can also supply half million bamboo rice each day. This is the method of cooking bamboo rice." Ch'ang O can barely contain her excitement.
" Mister Sasuke, at what price? As long as the price is reasonable." Ch'ang O said in excitement.
" Miss Ch'ang O seems to misunderstand. I do not plan on gaining profit by using this crisis. I am doing this for the innocent slaves of Ica plains."
Ch'ang O could feel Ash's sincerity. " Sometimes I find it very hard to believe that you are a black mage. A black mage is said to be murderous and cruel. But you are completely different. I really admire you." A sweet smile made Ash's heart beat rise. Ash can never forget this charming smile of her.
