To guarantee their plan wouldn't fail Resker entered seclusion immediately with the resources he gathered earlier after his family had moved out trying to break through to the mid-tier life knight.
Leaving Lucius responsible for managing the house, while Anna just took care of her baby.
A month later...
The Ranjit entered the city raising a ruckus as they rode the horses and carriages to the Rame's 'former' estate.
After they got themselves settled. Frista had his messenger pass on a message to all the families requesting their family heads for meeting the next day.
The next day...
Carriages were packed simultaneously across the 'new' Ranjit house as several persons headed for the meeting hall.
After they got settled in the meeting hall, since Frista hadn't shown up, the several family heads began talking in low voices.
"Johnson what do you think about this meeting." Akim Rankster asked
"What I think right? I think whoever doesn't show up for this meeting would be having his family raze down by the Ranjit knights. Now that I think of it where's Resker? He hasn't shown up yet right?" Johnson Caleb replied
"It seems they are finding trouble for themselves, even after leaving this place, they still got the guts to stay away from this meetin..."
...
...
"Ugh ugh ugh.." Frista coughed as he entered the hall making himself known to those having their small meeting there.
"Morning Sir Frista" greeted the several family heads.
Frista replied back morning to them then asked "who's not here?"
Immediately an awkward silence followed before Akim mentioned it was the Rame's family head that isn't present yet.
"I'm sorry, I was late, just got to city early this morning. " Resker rushed in with as he responded with a quick reply.
"Oh you're here , let's get started already " Frista said as he got himself sitted .
"I called for this meeting to settle the allocation of business in this city."
Frista straightforwardly said.
"Sir Frist..." One of the family head couldn't help but want to comment.
"I'm not done talking, you all know my Ranjit family just got to this city and there are many businesses we do that's gonna cause competition to rise, so as the head I want to destroy such competitions, it's better we have the consumers of our goods focus only on our products."
"I suggest you all should agree with me?" Frista concluded with a bit of threat
"Yes Sir Frista my Rame's House would support you unconditionally, I agree to your suggestion." Resker said.
"Hmph, cowardly bootlicker" muttered the several heads.
"Sir Frista can you us a moment to get through this a bit"?
"Yes Sir Frista, we would like to know what industries the Ranjit family does so we could conclude with out various family elders, some here might not be able to sustain their family." started Rankster family head, Akim.
"Enough all of you!!! This meeting is to tell you what my Ranjit family is up to, let me mention it to you guys, apart the businesses I'm going to list if we should find any other one in the city it would either be absorbed or destroyed and I don't care about how you feel here." Frista said overbearingly not caring about how they felt about this.
Frista took out a parchment paper and began reading away the list of businesses that the Ranjit family had under and also the list of businesses they wanted to start.
...
A few minutes later...
A group of middle-aged men walked out from the hall with distorted expression on their face as they boarded their carriages.
Resker who just wanted to get on his horse got a message from one of Ranjit servant that Frista wants to meet with him.
He was led back into the hall.
"Sir Frista" He said and gave a knight's bow to Frista.
"Resker I have received the deeds for the estate and the shops as well, I commend you well for that"
"It's nothing Sir Frista, rather warring out a battle I can't win or manage, it's better this way. I wouldn't fight a battle that would be detrimental to my family's wellbeing. "
"I see so you want to ally yourself with my Ranjit family right?"
"Em....Sir Frista as you can see.. it's like how you said" Resker scratch his head acting embarrassed.
"You should speak clearly when you're talking to me, anyway since you've given out something already I should give you some face. How about an alliance then?" Frista said
Acting stunned Resker responded immediately "Yes my Lord"
"You should go back now, since you just got into the city."
"Okay my Lord" Resker said as he bid bye and walked out.
At the 'new' Rame's place
"My dearest Anna" Resker shouted when he saw Anna walking at the entrance as soon as he got down from him horse.
Anna didn't even respond as she shoved Void into Resker arms before she snorted walking back into the the yard.
As for Void he gave Resker a dismissive glance as if he was look at his male slave.
"You snotty brat, why are you looking at me like that" Resker pinched Voids' small nose.
while Void couldn't be bothered with him because revenge was best eaten cold, he would seek revenge when he grew up!
"Resker are you stupid, why did you pinch his nose" Anna who just turned back caught Resker scolding Void
"Do you want to destroy his nose, what if he doesn't find a wife when he grows up because his nose is disfigured."
"But wifey I didn't disfigure anything."
"So you are telling me I'm blind right?" Anna shot him back.
Resker just shut his mouth so he wouldn't find trouble for himself while Void just glanced at the two comedians.
Resker quickly changed the topic since he knew he would be in hot sh*t if this continued "My dearest Anna I went to the meeting organised my the Ranjits and followed our plan"
"It's best to know the enemy and yourself so you wouldn't be at a disadvantage."
"Also I broke through to the mid-tier life knight, so the disadvantage wouldn't be all that big, I would just hide my warrior's base, then use the Ranjits resources to level myself up to the expert-tier life knight before our plan can fully commence as for now I need a battle to consolidate my warrior's base."
