The Survivor and the System
Chapter 67: The Problem!
"At that time, I was in danger! If I'm not lucky. Maybe I won't be here right now!."
At the Collin Clan market, Edward sat down with a group of mercenaries. He seems focused on listening to the story of one of the mercenaries who tells his journey on a special mission in a dangerous land.
less than three weeks after the release of the Blood Freezing Pill, the Collin Clan won seventy percent of the Javes City healing medicine market. The great advantage filled the Collin Clan with joy. The courtyards and doors, which were rarely used recently, are now in constant use and now the Collin Clan market is becoming more crowded than in previous years.
Compared to the Collin Clan, the Murphy Clan was filled with gloom. Due to their recent profiteering manner, they had aroused the dislike of the majority of the mercenaries. Moreover, the Blood Freezing Pill of the Collin Clan was more potent than the Spring Pill. Therefore, the Murphy Clan's medicinal medicine business continued to be suppressed by the Collin Clan's business. Had it not been for the Collin Clan's daily limit on the sale of their healing medicine, the Collin Clan would have no business at all.
While their market share in the healing medicine industry has shrunk, there are still neat gains to be made. The main headache for the Murphy Clan was the large supply of medicinal ingredients needed to make their medicines.
The city's largest resource warehouse, the Primary Trading House, has rejected any further cooperation with them. Facing a stalemate in obtaining medical materials, the Murphy Clan was filled with anger. Despite being angry, they did not dare to use any power against the Primary Trading House. The supporters of the Primer Trading House were a force that could become the most powerful in the entire Jia Empire. A small family clan in Javes City like them did not have the ability to provoke the House of Commerce.
Cannot buy goods from the Trade House, The desperate Murphy Clan could only purchase all the supplies at the medical materials store in Javes City at a price several times higher than their market value. However, this is only a temporary measure. Medical supply stores do not have the ability to meet the huge demand in the long run.
More importantly, everyone in Javes City had known of the conflict and killing intent between the Collin clan and the Murphy Clan. Helping the Murphy clan now would definitely offend the Collin clan who was getting stronger every day, therefore. After the first sale of their medicinal ingredients to the Murphy Clan, many drugstores did not dare to sell to them en masse anymore. These restrictions also made the state of the Murphy Clan worse.
With this, the source of the Murphy Clan's medicinal ingredients in Javes City was cut by nearly eighty percent. The remaining resources were not enough to meet the demand from the manufacture of their healing medicine. Because of this, the completely powerless Murphy Clan could only use high prices to purchase medicinal ingredients from other cities, as well, it was hardly worth the profit they got from the results of selling healing medicine and also it did not address the crisis caused by the lack of medicinal ingredients. By doing this, however, the Murphy Clan's profit once again shrank. If not for the benefits of the healing medicine, the Murphy Clan would already be facing bankruptcy.
Currently in Wu Javes City, the position of the Collin Clan increased with the help of their healing medicine and even showed a slight momentum to surpass the other two great clans.
……
In the market, Edward walked slowly down the street in a rowdy market. Behind him, seven to eight tall and burly men, the big men were wearing Collin Clan guard uniforms. On the chests of these large men, there would be four or more bronze lines. Clearly, all of these great men possessed the strength of at least a Peak Stage or Perfect Elite Fighter.
On the road where the flow of those people was rather large, the many formidable and powerful mercenaries who exuded the scent of blood gave a friendly smile when they saw a young man walking lazily with his hands behind his head. Sometimes, those who were more familiar would laugh asking."Young Master, have you come to patrol the market again?."
Whenever he was faced with such a form of address, Edward would helplessly pull his mouth before sighing gently. Half a week ago, John Collin suddenly gave him responsibility as the head of the market on the grounds of training him. Regarding John Collin's actions, many of the clan's higher-ups had a fight. Being someone managing the market in his teens was unheard of in the Collin Clan. However, after considering Edward's much higher position in the clan, some eventually agreed. Thus, Edward who had originally rested at home, was placed in this market.
Although the market is huge, the management is not too tiring. It was something entertaining for Edward. Edward set out other matters concerning the division of the street and the rental prices of the shops at major locations to the old housekeeper whom his father had specially assigned to him. Every day, he occasionally brought a large group of men to patrol the streets and manage security issues in the market, spending his days quietly, yet uncontrollably.
On the surface, Edwsrd seemed light and indifferent. However, he was happy to gather with the mercenaries and discuss the stimulating and dangerous experiences they had during the missions, the strange monsters and the Spirit Methods left behind in the cave. These discussions increased Edwatd's desire for risk and adventure takers. He wanted to break into a remote mountain range that had almost no trace of people to search for those secret Secret Techniques and Spirit Techniques.
Although he already had countless experiences and adventures while exploring the universe, Edward was still curious about this new world. A world without inner-Qi magic and other magical things.
Whatever is in this world, it will be related to spirit or something.
Recalling the events over the past half month, Edward smiled emotionally. Those days were very memorable, because after he got a message from the system saying that his mission was complete. Edward would go on adventures to be strong.
Because, after living long enough in Javes City. Edward realized that the system rarely gave him special missions, perhaps it was because the environmental conditions he was in were too peaceful.
Throwing away his emotional feelings, Edward raised his head. A skinny young man figure from the crowd came rushing at him.
Pausing his steps and seeing the little man before him, Edward's brows furrowed as he spoke indifferently."Gavin, why are you here and not out there looking for your luck?."
A scary-looking little guy named Gavin, he is a famous pickpocket in the market by the nickname golden finger. When faced with this kind of despicable work, Edward did not unreally seek to eliminate it. He knew very well that if there was a bright side, there would be a dark side. Although such jobs were looked down upon, they had many connections. Regardless of what happens in Javes City, they will have some information about him.
"Hehe, young master."Looking at Edward with a flattering smile, the thin little man called Gavin said with a smile."This lowly fellow is here to tell you that I have information from my subordinates saying that Miss Violet was verbally insulted by a man of unknown origin outside the market. I came here after hearing it."
"Oh yeah, Mickael Murphy of the Murphy clan was also among them. It seemed like she was familiar with the man wearing funeral attire and was talking to Miss Violet. Some people also accompany them."
Narrowing his eyes, Edward's indifferent face gradually grew cold. A little tilted his head, he softly said."Rayen Collin, call the others. As long as they're alive, they should be here."
"Understand!"A large man respectfully replied before hurriedly turning around and running towards the inside of the market.
"Lead the way!."Edward said indifferently as he turned around and raised his chin.
Seeing Edward's suddenly cold face, Gavin hurriedly nodded. Not daring to utter any unnecessary words, he immediately began to take the lead.
"This bastard dared to come to the Collin Clan's territory to persecute a member of the Collin Clan. If I, Edward, let you leave the market unscathed, I will leave my post as head of the market!."Staring sharply, Edward's terrifying voice caused Gavin who was in front to lead the way, to tremble as he stepped his feet.
