The guy who had been selling before behind the counter walked ahead. He couldn't even imagine what this situation really looked like.
Kai followed and laughed to himself, he was in anticipation of Diso's face.
- Look, I really haven't heard about your alliance, can you tell me more about it? - Kai asked lazily.
- Can you move around without opening your mouth? - Irritatedly replied the guy.
- Come on, we can't walk in silence. I see you are very loyal to your chapter, so why not tell me a little about you? - Kai said smiling.
It was obvious that the guy was not happy, but when Kai asked about their head, he changed his face a little.
- Hm. - The guy snorted, but he started to tell, "Our Trade and Research Union was founded by ten people. But in fact, the head of Diso is the most important. With the help of his fortunate decisions and incredible merchant's flair, we are developing very fast! In just a year and a half, we were able to enter the Glory Ranking! - The guy seemed to be very proud of his affiliation with the alliance.
''Fatty, you're really good! I can see you're my mate, hehe." - Thought Kai.
- Why then are you not just a trade alliance but also an exploratory alliance? - Kai asked with interest.
The guy who was leading Kai to Diso seemed to be slowly starting to be drawn into the conversation. He became more and more enthusiastic as he talked about the alliance.
- Because our alliance is mainly focused on traders and artisans rather than combat power. We also often go on expeditions, which brings us a lot of profit. But don't underestimate us! With our funds, we have hired many strong craftsmen. We also have many good artisans working for us, which makes our Trade and Research Union very influential. Many others hire us, for various tasks. - The boy did not shut up.
- But how did you lure so many craftsmen to you? Is money the only thing that decides everything? - Kai asked with a smile, pulling out a little bit of information.
- Pfft! - The merchant snorted unhappily, "What do you take us for? The head of Diso made very good terms for all members of the alliance, especially they are mutually beneficial. - The boy said proudly.
- Now I understand. Thank you for telling me. - Kai smilingly replied, -But why do you only talk about your head. You said about the ten founders, who are they? - Kai asked casually.
- They are very important people for the alliance! They are all members of the board of leaders that governs all our decisions. Their names are Councillors Kai, Fabian, Roga, Gontas, Solina, Hika, Alisud, Verik and the young lady Kashi. - With incredible deference, the boy said.
"Even I wasn't forgotten." - Kai even wanted to laugh at this turn of events. He was even voiced first....
- I've heard a little about all of these people except for one. Who is Kai? - Pretending to be interested, Kai asked.
- Hmm, that's a hard question... Actually, he's already dead, and no one but the Councillors knew him... But at every Union gathering, the Head and all the Councillors raise a glass to him, reminding everyone that without him, our organisation wouldn't exist! Even though he is no longer alive, there is always his empty seat, next to the Head of Diso, with a glass of poured alcohol... - The boy said with reverence, but somehow sadly.
- Wow, he must have been a good bloke! Hehehe. - Kai said with a laugh.
- That's for sure! Although none of the members of the Trade and Research Union knew him, but everyone honours him on par with the Head of Diso! Although only the memory of him is honoured...'' The boy said with a complicated face. He had always wanted to meet Councillor Kai, it was impossible for him to do so.
- All right, all right, don't worry about it. I might be able to cheer you up! Hahaha. - Laughing, Kai said.
- And how would you do that? Tz. - Clicking his tongue, the boy said unhappily. He was beginning to regret agreeing to this argument. But when he remembered the fruit that the strange guy had offered, he fell silent.
- When I meet Fatty, you will see something incredible! He might even cry! Won't that be hilarious? Hahaha. - Laughing said Kai.
- Everyone, shut the fuck up! I won't listen to any more of your nonsense! From now on we will walk in silence. - The merchant said angrily and quickened his step, moving a little ahead of Kai.
Kai laughed and quickened his pace.
"And I'm turning out to be in great esteem here. Hahaha." - Laughing in his thoughts Kai laughed.
"But I'm glad to be remembered in this way... I do seem to have a knack for making good friends. But with my secrets, they'll only know one side of me anyway. Most likely my ambitions are far beyond their comprehension... Border Beast City, just the starting point for my martial arts journey. But having the support of such an alliance is already very good." - With warmth in his heart, Kai thought.
Kai didn't fool himself with naive ideas. He knew very well that he already had things in place that boded him for a difficult and long journey. And he couldn't drag everyone along with him... In fact, many didn't need to.
"We'll go together for as long as we can. Until then, there's no need to think about it." - Kai laughed and began to look forward to seeing his friends again.
Half an hour later, they began to approach almost to the Tower of Truth itself.
- Is your headquarters in the Tower of Truth? - Kai asked with a strange look on his face.
- Of course not. Although the Head of Diso is in 98th place, but his private quarters in the Tower of Truth are not suitable for headquarters. We are very wealthy, but to rent such a large room inside the Tower to house an entire alliance... Only the leaders of the Glory Ranking can do that! - Looking at Kai as if he was stupid, the guy replied.
- Oh, I see. - Kai replied calmly.
- But that doesn't mean we can't rent a big headquarters in the centre of the city! Here it is! - Said the guy as they came round the corner.
In front of them stood a huge and ornate building that stood out from the grey surroundings of the Border Beast City. It was located on the next ring of buildings from the administrative buildings. The Tower of Truth was surrounded by administrative buildings, and right behind them were the most expensive houses outside the Tower of Truth. One of these houses, was the headquarters of the Trade and Research Union!
The entire building was covered in beautiful red silks that were embroidered with gilding. And on the huge signboard, the name of their union was written in large golden hieroglyphics. On either side of the signboard hung two large cloths. On them were written the names of all the Councillors, including Kai. At the top of one cloth was Diso's name, and the top of the other was occupied by Kai's name.
- How majestic! This is definitely Fatty's style! Hehehe. - Laughing said Kai.
- Let's go! - Angrily said the guy and started walking into the building. It seemed to piss him off when Kai talked about Diso.
Once inside, Kai wasn't surprised. The furnishings inside were about the same as the front of the building. Everything here spoke of wealth, and the building itself was huge.
They walked slowly through the whole building, walking down the corridor to the big beautiful doors.
- Del, where are you going? There's a meeting of the Councillors and the Head of Diso going on right now. Do you have something important? - Stopping them, the guard asked good-naturedly.
- No," said the merchant, who turned out to be Del, and turned to Kai, "You'll have to wait here! - He said in an orderly tone to Kai.
- Oh, you don't have to bother! Hahaha. - When Kai said this, he released his energy and Astral Sacrifice Fire.
From this turn of events and suppression, the merchant and guard became numb. They couldn't even move, finding themselves completely terrified!
- What the fuck, guys?! You're not holding a meeting in full force!!! - Shouting this loudly, Kai kicked the doors to the meeting room with his foot! For some reason, he thought that such an appearance would be very funny.....
- Who dare!!! - At this moment, all nine people at the table in the hall suddenly stood up. Taking out their weapons, they stared at the entrance, from where slivers of doors were flying. But as soon as they saw who was standing there, they immediately turned to stone. No one could utter a word, they understood nothing. Is this real, or is it an illusion?!
- What are you guys doing? What's wrong with your face? Hahaha. - Seeing their expressions, Kai started laughing out loud from the bottom of his heart.
"Their faces, it's just a masterpiece of art! Hahaha." - Almost crying from laughing, Kai thought in his head.
Kai had a rather wicked sense of humour....
