Chapter 389: Chapter 366: Divine rit (Three more updates, please subscribe) Chapter 389: Chapter 366: Divine rit (Three more updates, please subscribe) Inside Tianji Star, when the assassination bureau began a city-wide arrest, Lin Rui was setting up his own trading company.
He brought out twenty or so literate and nurate youngsters from Yeting Palace.
Just as his master had said, by signing a slave contract and a death pact, and implanting a Heart Control Jade Token in their bodies, he could ensure nothing would go wrong.
Lin Rui himself was a ritualist, and among the top in the fifth realm at that, capable of all kinds of Illusion Array talismans without needing to seek help from others.
This was of course very inhumane, but this concerned Lin Rui himself and many around him, he could not afford to be careless or rciful.
Moreover, it was better for these sons of criminal officials to be working for him rather than staying in Yeting Palace being tornted by eunuchs and eventually becoming one of them.
At least in terms of treatnt, Lin Rui would certainly provide well for them.
...
These children were definitely not reliable workers nor did they know how to do business, but the trading companies that Lin Rui was forming were just a bunch of shell companies engaged in arbitrage, requiring only inventory managent, bookkeeping, and reselling, without complicated business processes.
Their upstream partners wouldn’t cheat him either.
Without a special reason, who would risk offending the mighty commander of the assassination bureau over a little money?
Did they not know how to spell ‘death’?
In fact, the so-called ‘trade’ was essentially offering him protection money, asking him to act as a guarantor.
Before Lin Rui could finish setting up his company, Zhou Yunfei sent him a ssage saying that East Asia had raised the prices of various bulk goods, and they currently needed three types of goods, including ‘Divine Heart Tea,’ ‘Dream Grass,’ and ‘Star Sand,’ as there was a particular shortage in the Federation and he hoped Lin Rui could help organize so.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): The purchase price has risen by 50% again, what’s going on?
These items aren’t exactly in short supply.
Aren’t there plenty of these goods within the Great Song regions?
How could the prices have increased so suddenly?
After reading Lin Rui’s reply, Zhou Yunfei thought to himself, don’t you know why yourself?
But he still replied: Currently, more than a dozen businesses around Luo Capital have been sealed, and the remaining major firms have suspended their smuggling operations out of caution.
Now, the supply of goods across Great Song has decreased by nearly two-thirds.
Lin Rui was stunned for a mont, suddenly realizing the imnse utility of power.
But if this deal was completed, would he be abusing his power for personal gain?
Lin Rui found the Federal Exotic Act online, just opened it to check, and then gave up again.
It’s said that one’s own family knows one’s affairs best, and he had committed too many illegal and rule-breaking acts.
Instead of thinking about how to avoid being prosecuted and held accountable, it would be better to advance to the ninth realm as soon as possible and beco an honorary mber of the congress.
By then, as long as he did not commit cris against humanity, he could wash away all cases.
The Earth Federation’s indulgence of ninth realm divine Martial Cultivators had indeed saved the federal structure from civil war, but it also caused part of the federation’s laws to lose their proper authority and effectiveness, exactly what Confucius described as ‘rituals collapse and music disintegrates.’
Since then, many ard Martial Artists realized that power could decide everything, and with sufficient power, even federal laws could be ignored.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Alright, I’ll try to increase the supply based on the existing basis, but is this appropriate?
Will it violate any rules?
Lin Rui figured that now, he was the only buyer those business families could sell to.
He calculated the accounts, with goods worth 20 million magic silver initially, when resold to the Earth Federation, they fetched 32 million.
Just flipping hands once, with no need for any transportation, labor, or facilitation of any kind.
Now with a price increase of 50%, that beca 48 million magic silver—scarily, in these few days, he could try to organize more sources of supply, further pressing down the purchasing price.
Lin Rui’s scalp tingled, feeling that this easy money was making him both anxious and flustered, earning over 30 million magic silver just by flipping hands.
Zhou Yunfei: What’s inappropriate about it?
Now 14 base cities are raising prices together, so East Asia won’t lose out, they just need to ship out the goods via starships and can make a big profit, and you don’t need to worry about breaking the law.
According to the special agent supplentary clause of the Exotic Act, all acts within your authority are exempted, and to encourage exotic agents to develop on Tianji Star and to gather various resources from Tianji Star, the current law encourages agents to operate various legal businesses there.
Zhou Yunfei: Don’t worry!
Your uncle Zhou is also a doctorate in law, listening to your uncle Zhou, you can’t go wrong,
Zhou Yunfei: Let’s talk business.
Hayden Smith has already arrived at the Sky Extre Star, and from the information I obtained, he mobilized a significant force, possibly more than 200 people.
Can you handle it?
Lin Rui’s gaze sharpened, followed by a snicker.
In the ninth base city, he was just a small fry; however, at the Sky Extre Star, in the Great Song Dynasty, he was a big shot; this was his turf.
Lin Rui: No big issue, wait for the good news.
Imdiately, Lin Rui used his official seal to contact his master.
Luo Wangshu’s voice, clear like a spring, soon ca through: “Little HaoHao, your operation this ti is indeed massive, no wonder you had to apply for the Imperial Guard and the Royal Guards’ Tiger Talisman from the Divine Envoy.”
Her words contained relief and joy: “From the current situation, the information from your Heavenly Demon insider is very accurate; you’ve caught a big nest.
I have so good news for you, the Divine Palace Priests have also noticed the recent movents of the Treason Bureau, and they are very satisfied with the work you’ve done since taking office.
Once the cases at the Treason Bureau conclude, the Divine Palace Priests should bestow a comndation decree and a Divine rit Token.”
What Luo Wangshu left unsaid was that the Divine Palace Priests also praised her highly, for recomnding such a person.
Lin Rui’s spirits were uplifted upon hearing this.
The ‘Divine rit Token’ was no trivial matter; it not only enhanced the divine might of the Protective Country and the Calming Dragon projections, but it was also a ticket for a candidate Divine Envoy, equivalently a life-saving gold dal.
All Martial Cultivators who obtained a ‘Divine rit Token’ were people under the gods’ watch; their status even surpassed that of the princes within the court.
Even if they committed a cri, the ‘Divine Envoy’s Office’ had no jurisdiction to deal with them; they needed to consult the deities!
The issue was that the deities and their priests, aside from the cri of blasphemy, didn’t pay much attention to any other offenses.
Lin Rui thought that had he known this earlier, he would not have built so many firms; just building one firm under his own na would have sufficed, as others could not investigate the accounts and various businesses of his firms without Divine Palace approval.
“By the way, what made you contact at this ti?” Luo Wangshu asked with a light chuckle.
“It surely isn’t because you want to take a leave, is it?”
Lin Rui’s expression turned solemn: “Master, I just received another piece of intelligence involving a large number of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, but I’m currently short on manpower.
The Treason Bureau is investigating several major cases simultaneously, and we’re stretched thin, so I was hoping to borrow so more people from you.”
This ti, he didn’t plan on involving anyone from his entourage or Xue Lingxue and the others.
“A large number of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons?” Luo Wangshu asked skeptically.
“How large a number?”
Lin Rui imdiately replied: “More than 200 people, possibly 8 to 12 Transford Dragon Martial Cultivators.”
At that mont at Divine Scenery Mountain, Luo Wangshu narrowed her eyes.
8 to 12 Transford Dragon Martial Cultivators?
This was undoubtedly another major Heavenly Demon case!
Luo Wangshu then let out a bitter laugh.
Her disciple was truly zealous in his hatred for demons!
The sa was true for devious demons as for Heavenly Demons.
None of the past commanders of the Treason Bureau in the history of the Great Song Dynasty had ever initiated such stormy assaults on extraterritorial Heavenly Demons upon taking office.
In just a few short days, he was about to cause the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons the loss of several Transford Dragon Martial Cultivators.
The child was perhaps too honest, taking his duties so earnestly that Luo Wangshu herself felt uneasy—
Luo Wangshu nibbled her lips, wanting to advise Lin Hao to take things slowly.
Fighting Heavenly Demons benefited the Great Song Dynasty and the deities, but once the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons began retaliating, the consequences would have to be borne by Lin Hao alone.
Luo Wangshu sighed, thinking it would be better to remind him when he ca to do his howork.
“Alright, I’ll allocate my Dragon Guards to you later.
After this mission, rember to co here and do your howork; I have sothing to tell you.”
