Chapter 312 - Buying Trust
Chapter 312: Buying Trust
Yale had indeed guessed Sebe’s intentions and given his power; he didn’t have any opposition to that.
After all, Sebe was at the peak of the 9-star Grandmaster Rank, and with his bloodline, it was just a matter of time for him to reach the Sage Rank; that kind of ally was extremely useful for Yale.
Yale didn’t bother about if the Anpaes Kingdom would have problems for having the royal prince going with him because the same applied to the Revgen Empire since Nurvey was already on the Storage Space.
“It is alright. Is Shirk also coming?”
Shirk was already at the 8-star Expert Rank, and his power was superior to others in the group like George, so Yale didn’t plan to complain, but he wanted Shirk to agree to go by himself and not by obligation or any order.
“He is the one who asked to come with me to follow you in this journey.”
Sebe looked at Shirk who seemed to be waiting for Sebe’s signal before speaking.
“Indeed. It is just as Prince Sebe said, I want to go to the other continent following Sir Yale. I heard that there are different species on that continent and I hope to find people like me there.”
Shirk stopped being a half-beast after Yale modified his bloodline making that his level started to advance quickly and without barriers, but he was already of a different species than everyone else in the continent.
Given the aesthetic standard of humans and half-beasts, Shirk was doomed to be single for his whole life if he didn’t leave the continent. Moreover, being of different species, reproduction wouldn’t work even if he had the luck to find a girlfriend.
Although some species despite being different can have children with each other, if the lizardmen could do so, they wouldn’t have carried experiments to increase their population in the continental war.
Of course, Shirk wasn’t sure if there would be lizardmen on the other continent, but he was determined to go and try luck.
“Alright, you can come.”
At that moment, Yale counted, and if everyone, himself included, were to enter into the Storage space it would already be almost full, having only three vacant spaces.
“Yale, I…”
Julie started to speak, but Yale interrupted her.
“No. You are just at the Practitioner Rank, and you didn’t specialize in battle. You should remain here taking care of the company.”
Yale immediately guessed Julie’s intentions, but he couldn’t think of any valid reason for carrying her in the travel.
“You need me in this travel!”
Yale detected a tinge of anger in Julie’s voice, but she seemed to try to retain her composure.
“Why?”
Yale didn’t understand Julie’s motives for having such confidence.
“You have the ship, but do you know how to use it? That ship may seem like a classic one, which I already doubt you can use, but it has a lot of formations inside to power it up, so it could work even without wind. Are you confident in learning how to use it perfectly in a short time? I know how to use that ship, and I am confident in reaching the other continent with it.”
Yale was without words because he didn’t even think about that. In fact, he never thought that using the ship would be difficult, but he was clearly underestimating it too much.
“Moreover, once you reach the other continent what will you say to the natives there? Usually, they will think that you are there for invading them if you didn’t say a good reason. I am a merchant, and I will act as a merchant and exchange goods with them, officially this can be considered a merchant travel and the problems will diminish a lot. Moreover, we can take this chance to open a filial of the company in that continent.”
Yale and the others were without words after hearing Julie because they never thought about the travel like that. In fact, Sebe’s impression of Julie improved.
“I see, she wanted to conquer them using business instead of force. Given that we didn’t know the power of the other continent this is better than just charge in.”
Sebe only thought those words instead of speaking because Yale already said that he wasn’t interested. However, Sebe believed that Yale only said that because he still lacked power and the truth was that he wanted to take control of both continents and Sebe was ready to help him.
Without knowing the thoughts on Sebe’s head, Yale was pondering about Julie’s words. He still had room for three more people in the Storage Space, and although he wanted to have some spare, he could give one to Julie, but then there was another problem.
“I can agree, but I bet that some people in the group would disagree. You should try to convince them before I can agree formally.”
Julie was a woman and a beautiful one, so Yale could imagine how would some people inside the Storage Space react after seeing her.
“Oh, probably you have some pretty girls going with you.”
Julie didn’t fail to notice the meaning of Yale words. Yale didn’t think that Julie had any interest on him and that she only wanted to expand her business in the new continent. After all, Julie had never acted like Lar or Aizu before, but he believed that those girls were a bit paranoid and would still disagree to Julie’s presence.
Of course, Yale was mistaken because Julie was interested in him. Although she didn’t have any kind of crazy love for him, Yale was the only men that provoked her interest. Interest was still far from love, but Julie as a merchant she didn’t want to lose anything that she was interested in.
“You guessed right. I will call the ones that I think that can object to your presence and you can try to convince them.”
Yale didn’t plan to do that by himself because it was too problematic, and Julie was far better in social relationships that Yale.
Yale waved his hand and Nurvey, Lar and Aizu appeared. About Nurvey, Yale didn’t think that she would complain about Julie, but given how fan she was of the products of the company, at least she would be happy meeting Julie and could try to convince the other two to let Julie travel with them.
The three girls didn’t know why they were called outside and looked to the three unknown people sat with Yale.
“They want to travel with us. The handsome man is the crown prince of the Anpaes Kingdom, Sebe, and the guy beside him is his most loyal personal guard, Shirk. They are also good friends of mine.”
The three girls nodded, they didn’t mind about the presence of those two.
“This girl is Julie. She is a co-founder of the Thousand Frost Wolves Company together with another guy and me. She knows how to use the ship and will also be in charge of making business on the other continent.”
Aizu and Lar looked to Julie with wary eyes, but Nurvey was excited inside because she was a great fan of the products of the Thousand Frost Wolves Company, she even packed them all in her spatial artifact before leaving the Revgen Empire.
“The three girls starting by the left are Nurvey, the princess of the Revgen Empire and she has already been appointed to succeed Revgen in the future. Next to her is Aizu, she is my disciple. Finally, the other girl is Lar; she is a reincarnated expert, so don’t look down on her because she looks young.”
Sebe was surprised that someone like Nurvey was also following Yale.
“It seems that Yale has far more control over the continent than I thought he had.”
Owner of the greatest influence of the Zuatania Republic and having close relationships with the inheritors of the other two countries, for Sebe, Yale was very advanced in his plans to control the whole continent.
Sebe didn’t have any interest in power, but after discovering Yale’s true identity, he believed that Yale should control the whole world. After all, even if Yale controlled it, he wasn’t the type of guy to take advantage of that and wouldn’t implicate himself in politics.
Nurvey wanted to speak, but her social skills were too lacking, so she took out some plushies before storing it again. Nurvey continued until she showed them all to show Julie that she had bought all of them.
“Oh, you seem to be a loyal customer.”
Julie’s impression of Nurvey instantly increased after seeing that she was a great costumer of the company.
However, the faces of the other two girls changed when they saw the plushie based on Yale with Wyba on his head. They had barely considered Nurvey as an opponent since she was Wyba crazy and even after seeing the plushie they deduced that Nurvey only wanted the full collection of Wyba’s plushies. However, both of them were jealous because they wanted Yale’s plushie too badly.
Julie didn’t fail to notice the expressions of Lar and Aizu and smiled.
“Since you two seem interested in our products, I will give you a small gift since we will be traveling together from now on.”
Then, Julie took out two plushies of the limited collection based on Yale and gave them to Lar and Aizu. She had kept some of them in her personal storage artifact in case something like that happened. In fact, it was a limited edition to the outside, but the hidden stock was still quite huge. After all, saying that something was limited was just a marketing strategy.
The two girls instantly dispelled any wariness about Julie and looked her as a close friend. After all, they couldn’t believe that she would present plushies of the man she wants to her love rivals.
Of course, both underestimated Julie’s merchant’s soul, she didn’t care about something like that, or she wouldn’t have sold those plushies from the start.
Julie smiled after she had used those two plushies successfully to buy the trust of Aizu and Lar in an instant while getting rid of her major problems without difficulties.
“Moreover, I also have a new limited edition Wyba plushie that would start to sell next week. It is for you.”
Julie finally gave the last product of Wyba’s plushie collection to Nurvey, making her extremely happy.
However, Yale didn’t look happy and looked towards Julie as if he wanted to give her the same treatment as Oscro for her gifting the plushies to Lar and Aizu, but since he knew that Julie was someone needed for the travel, he restrained himself.
