The next day.

In the backyard of a luxurious mansion inside the capital of the Alba Kingdom, There was an old man downed in golden clothes sitting at a table drinking tea, One would think that it is only silk dyed in golden color but in reality, his clothes were made from weaving golden treads! he was none other than the richest man within the Alba Kingdom Walter Dunham father of the third concubine and grandfather to the second prince. Behind him were a couple of middle-aged men they were the managers in charge of many of the businesses owned by Walter's from legitimate businesses to the shady deals they oversaw everything.

Walter was known to be cruel to his compet.i.tion, many of the small-scale merchants were only able to run their business from the crumbs left behind by Walter's businesses at least that was the way before the purge but ever since the purge a few years ago, the Alba Kingdom market situation became very compet.i.tive, Walter lost many of his partners as well as n.o.bles who were brought by him in the purge this caused him to lose much of the power he had acc.u.mulated throughout his time, many of the small-scale merchants united and managed to resist him successfully, This instability gave the opportunity for the neighboring merchants to enter their territory, one could say that n.o.body had a fixed market share anymore it changed every month. This could be the dream for consumers but for businessmen, it was a nightmare, they had no room for maneuver, One mistake and they can lose everything.

These last few years had been a headache for Walter, he knew that if it was not for his daughter he would also have died during the purge so he can only accept the situation and wait as eventually there would be many opportunities to recover, after all now that his grandson was a disciple of the Sea Palace that to a direct disciple to the Supreme Elder as long as he grows up, with his support he could make his business return to the former glory but also grow to new heights, until then he only had to endure bidding his time.

"How's the plot going so far?" Walter asked one of the middle-aged men, That man replies "Everything gone according to our plan, the p.a.w.n has sold the property to the ninth concubine, she does not suspect anything, we'll act today at midnight and proceed to the next step."

"Very good, we can not be involved directly so we can only do this, after all, it is normal for a business to fail to hire the right security, now continue with your work" After that Walter stopped talking, the two men bowed and left in silence.

In the palace, the ninth concubine was excited and could not wait until tomorrow for the grand opening of her store, also Anna had just received a gift from a mysterious person who she supposed was the same person who gave her the book because when she opened it she felt just as Mystical as with the book, This was a black metal box of cubic meter in size, According to the instructions on the note, one had to place the clothes inside the metal box for two minutes then remove it, by doing this the cloth would become very strong as metal but still as flexible as cloth, besides it did not matter how much you wash it will never lose its color and it will remain brand new. Anna at first hesitated but after trying it once following the instructions the fabric of the clothes gained incredible strength and when she washes it over and over again even using bleaches the fabric still remained brand new, seeing this Anna got even more excited and could not wait for the wealth the store gonna bring in.

For her part Audrey was shocked, but if Miss Anna knew what Alexander did to her store she would be slack-jawed. reviving the scene from the last night Audrey could not believe what she saw, but when she asked Alexander was it not very extravagant? he answered that it was a very normal sight in the mortal countries, in other words, it was common for the stores to be this extravagant in mortal grade countries. When she asked him about the clothes he said something similar, That box could be considered something tradable in the mortal countries of grade Two, It only reinforced the clothes through arrays it was nothing out of the ordinary but for a desolate land, it was something miraculous. when Audrey saw Alexander out of the corner of her eye he wore an expression of proudness on his face and said: "haha, this young master is very handsome is he not?"

When she saw that face Audrey just wanted to hit him until he was half dead but it was not the right moment. so she just held herself.

Meanwhile in the peripheral neighborhoods of the Capital City

At the base of one of the biggest gangs in the criminal underworld which was known for their greed, never shrinks from doing anything as long as the pay is good even their name explicates their personality, they called themselves "Greedy Wolves Gang"

But what many did not know was that they were founded through the funds of Walter Dunham, They were working for him and they are in charge of the dirty jobs he does to his compet.i.tors, Walter founded them to compete against other big bands which were controlled by great n.o.bles or merchants, so you could say that it was a hidden battle in the darkness. This was how they put obstacles between themselves.

Greedy Wolves Gang base

Inside a room there was a middle-aged man who was immersed in his pa.s.sion with a couple of beautiful women, These women were ladies of the night who only satisfy the n.o.bles or rich people, and the man who's with them is the current leader of the Greedy Wolves Gang, Tiberius, Being the leader of such a large criminal gang obviously he did not lack money. Therefore he could enjoy such luxuries. but when he was in the midst of his battle he was interrupted by a middle-aged man, he was one of the men who was with Walter this morning.

"WHO DARES TO DISRUPT ME? I WILL CUTOFF THE HEAD OF THAT MOTHERf.u.c.kER", Tiberius was angry when he was interrupted in the middle of his battle, so he jumped out of his bed with red eyes, ready to kill the first one he saw.

"Ohhh really, you cut off my head, I wonder if you have the b.a.l.l.s to do it," the middle-aged man said calmly.

When he heard that voice Tiberius instead of being angry he became pale and confused, This person always forewarns him before coming, but now he came without any prior notice, he did not understand why.
