106 Huge Transaction
After Ryk proved his identity, the guards decided to give him face and they all left the scene.
“Sir Aethelwolf, we ca here to see you. I hope that we didn’t disturb you.” Verson smiled in embarrassnt as he looked at Leric who was still on the balcony.
Leric shook his head and chuckled. “I’m not doing anything at the mont so you’re good. Give a second. I’ll open the door for the two of you.”
He then went downstairs and opened the door of the clinic. “Co inside.”
“Sorry for the intrusion.” Verson said.
“It’s fine. Let’s go to my room on the third floor.” Leric brought them to his room.
“Sir Aethelwolf, this is my brother, Ryk Misa. He is the Vice Leader of the Hunter Association. We are here to talk business with you.” Verson said as he pointed at his brother.
The old man smiled at Leric and took the initiative to extend his hand for a handshake. “It’s nice to see you, Sir Aethelwolf.”
“Likewise, Sir Ryk.” Leric smiled and shook hands with the old man. He knew what they were here for and he already expected this to happen after he t Verson earlier.
.....
Ryk’s expression suddenly turned serious as he said. “I won’t beat around the bush, Sir Aethelwolf. On behalf of the Hunter Association, I would like to suggest a collaboration between us. To be specific, we hope that you can supply the Hunter Association with your Recovery Pellet. I know that it’s precious so we won’t be asking for an absurd number of the pill. What do you think about this, Sir Aethelwolf?”
Leric pondered for a mont. His Recovery Pellets are sold at the price of five thousand gold coins and the clinic can sell about a thousand pieces per day. Even if he subtracted the cost of ingredients, he would still earn a few million gold coins from selling a thousand Recovery Pellets! That is how popular the pill is after only opening the clinic recently.
“How many Recovery Pellets does the Hunter Association want?” Leric asked with a smile.
Ryk was silent for a few seconds before he answered. “We won’t make things difficult for you. How about ten thousand pills every month?”
Ten thousand Recovery Pellets are worth fifty million gold coins!
The amount of pills he asked for is doable so Leric nodded his head. “Alright. That sounds good to . We have a deal!”
“Great! I’ll send you the paynt and the contract tomorrow. Can I ask when the pills will be ready?” Ryk and Verson were both ecstatic when Aethelwolf accepted the offer.
“Actually, you can get them now. I trust that the Hunter Association won’t cheat of my money.” Leric said as grabbed ten thousand Recovery Pellets from his storage space. His supply was slowly decreasing so he has to refine more pills later.
When Ryk and Verson saw Aethelwolf taking out the pills, they could no longer hide the smiles on their faces.
“It’s my pleasure to do business with you, Sir Aethelwolf!” Ryk eagerly shook hands with the young man. He was now one step closer to achieving his plan of making the Hunter Association independent from the rchant Association.
Leric grinned at the enthusiastic old man.
After keeping the Recovery Pellets inside his storage ring, Ryk stood up and said. “We won’t stay for long, Sir Aethelwolf. I still have the prepare the contract and the paynt for these pills.”
“Alright. I’ll see you off.” Leric walked them out of the clinic and bid farewell to the two.
When they left, Leric suddenly laughed as he muttered. “Fifty million gold coins... That’s not too bad...”

Inside a small house, sowhere in Dominion District.
“Mom, you’re finally here! I managed to advance to the next round and I’m now part of the remaining fifty participants! Even if I end up being eliminated tomorrow, it is guaranteed that I’ll get a high position in the army once the competition is over!” A young girl excitedly ran toward her mother.
This young lady is Janrose Yanez, the girl that grabbed the attention of Lord Julius during the competition.
Her mother is Janeth Yanez, she was one of Leric’s newly hired employees.
Seeing her daughter smiling foolishly, Janeth hugged her and said. “Good job, my daughter! Your mother is also hired by a big shot and I’m now a cashier in his clinic!”
“Really?” Janrose was happy for her mother.
Janeth nodded her head. “Of course! Let tell you sothing even more shocking. My salary is five thousand gold coins and the boss also allowed us to live in his mansion for free!”
Janrose was stunned when she heard that. “Five thousand gold coins?!” It was not a small amount and only Espers and skilled professionals received that amount of money as their salaries. It felt a bit suspicious to her and she didn’t believe that soone could be so generous to commoners like them. They had already experienced their fair share of bullying from the nobles.
“Mom, I think your boss has ulterior motives for giving you such a high salary.” Janrose muttered in a serious tone.
Janeth smiled and shook her head. “Don’t speak ill of Sir Aethelwolf. He is not that kind of person. He is a Level 4 Alchemist and I don’t think he wants sothing from an ordinary mother like . Help pack our things. We will go to the mansion right away and I’ll let you judge him yourself.”
Janrose was surprised by this, but she still nodded her head. “Alright. Let see what kind of person this Sir Aethelwolf is! Since he’s a Level 4 Alchemist, he should be an old man above the age of seventy or eighty, right? Hmph!” She stomped away like an angry kitten.
Janeth chuckled as she stared at her daughter. “I wonder how you will react after you see him... Even your mother is almost chard by that young man...” She mumbled when she recalled Aethelwolf’s handso face.
