After Frey's departure, Daru begins to prepare the necessary things for his meeting with the trading company. He went down to the lower second floor to pick up all the bottles of shampoo and perfume. He was sure that the two Trading Firms would not refuse after knowing the market interest in the two goods. He also ordered two counter tables from the Universal Online Shopping website to be placed on the top one floor.
"What else?" murmured Daru was confused.
"Since I don't have anything else to do, I'll visit Blue Star Restaurant and Bull's Horn's Bar." He went to the Blue Star Restaurant and Bull's Horn Bar.
As Daru passed the counter, he took out two counter tables from his dimension ring and placed them beside the counter table that already existed. The customers were wondering about the reason why Daru put down two additional tables.
"Mr Daru, are you going to add a queue at your shop?" ask one of the customers.
"Yes, from tomorrow there will be three lines of queue, so the long queue will decrease faster. I feel sorry for my dear customer who waited too long to buy things in my store. Haha." replied Daru jokingly.
The face of the shop customers who were there became full of excitement.
"Life Lord Daru!" The customer who had asked Daru started shouting and the other customers started shouting.
"Already, even if you praise me, I will not give a discount," said Daru while laughing softly.
The faces of the customers turned red due to Daru's prejudice.
"Mr Daru! Just make two queues for today!" shouted another customer.
"Yes, just today!" Other customers don't want to lose and shout.
Daru sighed before walking to the back of the counter.
"For two now, don't scramble" Daru said.
The customers became even more excited and immediately broke away into two queues.
Sylph just laughed softly at Daru who lost to his customer.
The two of them began to reduce the queue bit by bit. In just over an hour, that long queue finally ran out.
"There are no more customers, soon the sun will also set" murmured Daru.
"Boss, tomorrow is Daru's boss or Frey's boss at the third counter?" ask Sylph.
"Maybe Frey. I'll keep the availability of the goods. If tomorrow the situation is out of control, the new employee will fill the third counter. As for me and Frey who will supply the goods," Daru replied.
"What's tomorrow? And a new employee?" ask Sylph in astonishment.
"Oh, tomorrow I'm sure there will be a lot of customers. Prepare yourself, and ask Shera about the details for tomorrow. And as for the new employee, I told Shera to buy slaves from Ronald" Daru replied.
"Good Boss! By the way, it goes off all the time, what's that for, boss?" shera asked while pointing at the temperature detector above the door.
"It's a detection device for the existence of living things in the store. If there's a sound and you don't see anyone passing through the door, beware, it might be an intruder using stealth magic. Tell the others about the device, I forgot to tell them," Daru replied as he looked at the temperature detector.
Useful tools, thought Daru.
"Ready, Boss!" Sylph nodded slowly.
"I'll go to the construction site of Blue Star Restaurant and Bull's Horn Bar. Call me if a guest comes," Daru said as he walked away from Sylph.
Sylph simply nodded and began to tidy up the counter.
Daru leisurely walked towards the location of the two buildings. The Blue Star Restaurant was to the east not far from Daru's shop. Bar Bull's Horn is in front of the restaurant. Currently there are still many workers who work hard even though the sun is almost sunset. Daru saw that there were two people he recognized standing up while chatting. The two men were Klein and Lyd.
"Yes!" greet Daru while raising his right hand.
"Mr Daru, where have you been?" asked Klein who first saw Daru's figure.
Lyd just turned his head and smiled at Daru.
"Just a little business. Sorry for yesterday, the situation here is a little difficult so it's forced to make you two go back to Moon City."
"Haha, it's okay Mr. Daru. I can understand that there are things that are out of control. Then, where is Mr Xavier?" lyd said while demonstrating his intelligence power.
"Your restaurant is really great Miss Lyd. Is it dark red?" daru said referring to the clothes used by spies from the Blue Star Restaurant while posing as customers at Daru's store yesterday.
"You're flattering me too much, Mr. Daru. Mr. Daru is more powerful" said Lyd after a long sigh due to Daru's intelligence.
"If you may know, what are you two talking about, Mr Daru, Miss Lyd?" ask Klein.
"It's nothing Mr. Klein. By the way, how long is the building you two finished?" ask Daru.
"My Bar Bull's Horn will be done in about a week. The building I built wasn't very complicated" Klein replied.
"Lumayan fast. That you, Miss Lyd?" Daru turned his gaze to Lyd.
"About three weeks. I planned to build a one-story building, and it consisted of several rooms" Lyd replied.
"I can get your building done in just one night, interested?" ask Daru.
"Yes I know, because when we both got here, there was a pretty big new building up North of your store. I didn't know that Mr. Daru was willing to help us" Klein said.
"Give me back my money, Mr. Klein, and I'll make sure your bar finishes tomorrow."
"I'll return Mr. Daru's money tomorrow. I don't bring money at the moment. Hehe," Klein said as he laughed softly.
"It's okay, Mr. Klein," Daru said before turning his eyes to Lyd.
"I give you ten thousand gold coins. I hope Mr. Daru can also help with the construction of my Restaurant" Lyd said.
"Of course Miss Lyd. In that case, please pull back your two workers and let the building materials remain here."
Klein and Lyd begin to order their workers to stop work and return to Moon City. After saying goodbye to Daru, the two of them also left Sarren Hill.
"Today the store's income is more than two billion, a total of about three billion dollars. Then there will be 3.6 billion from trading companies. Well, quite a lot," murmured Daru before going towards his shop.
On the way, Daru saw a woman running towards him. As the woman got closer, Daru began to recognize the woman.
"What's Sylph? the trading company has arrived?" ask Daru.
"No, Boss. Boss Frey has returned and King Vanir and Princess Rennesia are with him. There were also some Royal guards coming. Currently, the three of them were on the upper second floor. While the Royal Guards are on the first floor," Sylph said gasping.
Daru frowned curiously at the reason King Vanir had come.
"I'll see him" said Daru.
Daru ran towards his shop and went up to the second floor.
"Please don't call me that. You are a close friend of the Royal Family" replied King Vanir.
"Then I will call you Uncle Vanir, please call me by my name." Daru asked.
"Haha, Uncle is also good, as long as you don't call me Grandpa" King Vanir said heartily.
"Hahaha, then I will also call Miss Rennesia by her name. Is it okay?" ask Daru to Princess Rennesia.
"Of course it's okay, Daru," replied Princess Rennesia.
Daru was sitting next to Frey who was holding his head because he was really dizzy with Daru's attitude in front of a King and his daughter.
"I'm sure Uncle Vanir didn't come just to visit right? It's too strange to visit when it gets dark. What's up, Uncle?" ask Daru.
The expressions of King Vanir and Princess Rennesia became solemn.
"I'm asking you to use your source of information. I want hard evidence of my brother's attempted coup, Verza Lionness, and I also want evidence of the involvement of the five Noble Core Families" King Vanir told his request.
Daru thought for a moment then said, "I have conditions."
"What's that?" ask Vanir.
"Before that, I asked Rennesia to leave this room for a bit, I wanted to have a one-on-one talk with Uncle Vanir," Daru replied.
King Vanir looked at Princess Rennesia and nodded his head. Dropped the mark on Princess Rennesia to follow Daru's words. Frey also came out because Daru said, "Four eyes."
"Then we start" Daru said after seeing Frey and Rennesia leave the room.
"First condition, I want Uncle Vanir not to touch the five Royal Families no matter what. Even if they have anything to do with your sister's coup plot, let them go. I guarantee they will obey your words, even I can guarantee they will abandon their illegal activities" Daru said.
"Why are you protecting them? Aren't they hostile to you?" ask King Vanir.
"Yes, they were hostile towards me, but now, the higher-ups of each family are my slaves" Daru said as he issued a stack of blood contracts.
King Vanir's eyes widened in shock. "How can they be your slaves?" asked King Vanir while checking the authenticity of the Blood Contract.
"Yesterday they sent Xavier, Julius' disciple, to kill me. But it ended with Frey and I dying. Then this morning, they kidnapped Frey. I was angry, and I came to them. For how I made them mark the sign, it was a secret. I just gave them a new life, Uncle," Daru replied with a big smile.
"What are you planning to do with all this?" asked King Vanir suspiciously.
"Calm Uncle, I will not harm your Government. Wouldn't that be an advantage to you too if you could control the five Nobles Families through me?"
"Alright, I agree to your first terms. I will not touch or punish the five Royal Families" King Vanir agreed.
"Second, I want Uncle Vanir to keep everything Uncle Vanir knows about me a secret. Everything, including the fact that I am the master of the Five Elders of the Nobles Family."
"Can."
"The third condition, Uncle Vanir certainly remembered about the third request I had not made after saving Rennesia. I want to add one request. So, Uncle Vanir owes me two things" Daru said as he held up his index and middle fingers.
"Hahh, does your hobby make a king owe you? Alright. I agree to it," said King Vanir with a sigh.
Daru laughed softly and got up from his seat. He then opened the door and said, "Rennesia, you and Frey can go in now."
Princess Rennesia and Frey re-entered the room and sat down in their respective places.
"How, Daru?" ask Princess Rennesia.
"Uncle Vanir has agreed to my terms" Daru replied.
"And what are your terms?" asked Princess Rennesia increasingly curious.
"That's just a trivial condition. I want you to marry me, and Uncle Vanir agrees!" daru said full of lies while laughing.
Frey immediately looked at Daru who was beside him and pinched his stomach. The Princess of Rennesia also reacted so and pinched the stomach of King Vanir.
"sick! Come on!! I'm just kidding!" yell Daru to Frey.
Frey and Princess Rennesia pulled their hands while King Vanir and Daru began rubbing the pinch.
"A woman's pinching is more painful than a swordsman's punch" Vanir said.
"Uncle Vanir, the woman beside me can also be called a swordsman. You can imagine the pain in my stomach" Daru said.
The four of them laughed together, the serious atmosphere disappeared.
"Seriously Daru, what are your terms?" asked Princess Rennesia once again.
"You can ask Uncle Vanir. And Uncle Vanir, please tell me the basics." Daru looked at King Vanir as if hinting at something.
King Vanir knew the meaning of the words "basic things." He also nodded.
"Tomorrow come here, Uncle Vanir. I will bring in the higher-ups of the five Noble Families" Daru said.
Princess Rennesia was confused by the situation and chose to be quiet.
Daru recalled something and looked at King Vanir coldly. He also wore a terrifying expression that made King Vanir and Princess Rennesia swallow his saliva. Even Frey who knew Daru well shivered in fear.
"Oh, make sure that if you two or the other Royal Families come here, don't bring those who wear war gear with the Royal emblem. I hate the military, if one day someone sets foot on Sarren Hill with war gear and a Royal insignia, I will kill him on the spot immediately" Daru said, maintaining his expression.
Princess Rennesia was increasingly frightened because she remembered the sight of the corpses in front of Daru while saving him first.
Daru smilingly let go of his hideous expression and said, "If you need a bodyguard, make sure your bodyguards don't wear the Royal emblem. And I will always welcome you with pleasure. Please tell the bodyguards guarding the portal in Moon City to ban the military with the Royal emblem from entering."
"Well, I'm sorry, but why did you ban it?" ask King Vanir
"To be honest with Uncle Vanir, I want to plant a teleportation portal in the seven Kingdoms of the Isla Continent. I want to make Sarren Hill a place of international trade, and if any military from your Kingdom appears here, the people from the Vradarian Kingdom will be frightened and choose not to return, considering that you have just been at war with the Vradarian Kingdom," Daru replied.
"What if an undercover intruder broke into the Moon City Capital? It's too dangerous" said King Vanir.
"I can arrange anything a teleportation portal can do. I will make all the teleportation portals I planted only usable for the journey to Sarren Hill. I've planted teleportation portals in five big cities belonging to the Nobles family. And I make sure that everyone who comes from a teleportation portal in one city will not be able to teleport to another city through Sarren Hill. You can try it, Uncle," said Daru confidently.
"Well, after everything you did to my family, I have no reason not to trust you. But make sure it doesn't happen." King Vanir agreed to Daru's plan.
"Of course, I always hold my word. Then Rennesia, when do we get married?" said Daru trying to melt the atmosphere.
The four of them laughed again after the tense atmosphere began to melt.
