South-West area of Rukon District, this part was just as bustling as with people, similar to the areas when Kahn & Albestros ca from when they first ca here.
But Kahn was surprised after realizing that compared to other areas, this side of the district didn't have any big smithy or alchemy enterprise.
The comrce here was done mostly on agriculture & clothing. For a mont, he even felt like they traveled in a different city by mistake.
After enquiring about the location of the site for nearly 2 hours and changing three different modes of transportation, the duo finally reached in front of the previous headquarters of the Darvin Alchemy Enterprise. The 4 kiloters long and two kiloter wide company headquarter was currently sealed with magical arrays & formations.
Although the majority of them weren't as effective as before & the protection barriers had visible cracks in them, Kahn could feel that Prithvi had paid quite a sum to have this area sealed & had a deathly entrapnt formation protecting the building from invaders.
There were multiple rusted warning boards in all four sides of this vicinity. So unless soone knowingly wanted to die.. They wouldn't dare invade inside this private property.
The duo now stood in front of the old and rusted gate that was 20 ters wide.
Albestros took and the deed to the site and activated a seal placed on it in front of the gates.
The gates suddenly opened, their screeching noise already gave Kahn a hint on how he should be prepared just to renovate the building. As soon as the gate was fully opened and he saw what was inside.. Kahn felt a sudden pain in his chest.
"Given the sight.. I may have to spend a million just to make this place habitable." spoke Kahn.
The main company headquarters was a 3 stories building big enough to function as a manufacturing factory. Based on his assumption, it could easily house at least four thousand workers at once. And there were a lot of areas for storage & to even use as an open training ground for soldiers.
Just like the mansion, this area too was festered with weed and trees. And this was just the entrance, they hadn't even opened the main door of the building. Who knew what kind of plant life had marked it as their territory.
After spending two hours and inspecting the entire place, deciding what kind of renovations & rebuilding they'd require in order to start off their blacksmithing enterprise.
"This place isn't so bad. We can do well here as we're new. Don't you think?" asked Kahn.
"Yes. But I'm worried about the custor base we make here. Unlike the other areas, this part of the district doesn't have many weapon shops, not big enough to be enough threat to us.
But what I don't understand is why hasn't anyone created their own company here?" asked Albestros out of curiosity.
"It's called Market getting saturated. I think a majority of those people think that the main trading happens in a particular area and having a shop there is most profitable for them. And because of this assumption, majority of the shops have been opened in the sa part of the district since the entire market itself functions economically through the comrce happening in that area." replied Kahn.
"Wait, doesn't that an we are at a disadvantage here?"
"Not really. Here.. We don't have any big competitors to begin with. And we can peacefully start our company without much problem. Plus I think it's for the better." spoke Kahn and gave a slight grin.
"What do you an?" asked the old blacksmith.
"Rather than opening a shop where most of the wolves are fighting in a turf war.. I say we create our own turf instead.
Even though it doesn't have the economical advantage in terms of custors and comrce influx, it can be the exclusive thing for the people living in this area.
Plus, we don't want to start with a bang.. But with a whistle, until we are big enough to play with the big boys." he explained.
"Makes sense. Although the majority of the building will be used for manufacturing goods, the front side can be used for setting the managent team and conducting business." spoke Albestros.
"That's what I thought. It may not be the most idealistic location to start off a big business as per the consur base we require.. But it's also not a bad place to begin." nodded Kahn.
"Once we set up all the required facilities, we can register and get a license for our business. All of it will be in your na." he said.
"Kid.. Are you sure? You're the real owner after all. I will just be the face of it. Although my part will be no different than doing half of the work like crafting weapons, having my na on the company.. It's still too much for you to not own it on your na." replied Albestros.
"Trust , old man. I know what I'm doing. Besides, if I ever get into trouble that could drag down others with , this business won't be targeted and your life won't be put in jeopardy. I'd rather count the profits from behind the desk than have my face on the banner.
I can also act as your main bodyguard or the right-hand man for the public eyes and manage everything from the shadows. This way, no one would suspect of being the real owner." explained Kahn.
"Why? Do you trust that much?" asked Albestros.
"Oh.. Are you planning to betray or sothing?" asked Kahn mischievously.
Although he appeared too trustworthy to the Grandmaster Blacksmith.. Kahn had already learned his lesson of not trusting anyone blindly after his fight with Arkham and Solomon. So he was going to play the act of a partner in cri on the surface while having ans to keep an eye on the old man.
"Anyways. Are you finally ready.." asked Kahn as he spoke again in an exhilarated tone.
"To start the first chapter of our new life."
