The Ultimate Internet Power

Gathering

"Today is the day of the meeting between Uncle Vanir and Mr. Gustave, I have to prepare it" Daru murmured after Frey left.

Daru then took out his smartphone and opened the Universal Online Shopping web.

He bought two fairly large scrolls of paper, it contained something that could keep the Resia Kingdom residents in possession of more money.

Not long after, Veux also came with Daru's package.

"Punten, package," Veux said right after he showed up.

"Welcome, Mas Veux," Daru replied greeting Veux.

"A few days ago, why was it so hard to contact, Mom? Mas Zoref could not be reached either" asked Daru.

"Oh, fifteen world liaison servers are down, Mas. Jin who was in another world could not go home at that time," Veux replied as he handed Daru the package.

"Just the first time I heard the server down there, what's the problem?" daru asked curiously while signing the receipt letter.

"There is no problem whatsoever, just the tool is old. It used to be down, even taking months to produce," replied Veux.

"Well, it's bad, yeah, too" Daru said.

"Yes that's it. Yes already, Mas, I went back first, afraid that down again can not even go home to see his wife," said Veux before disappearing just like that.

Daru then looked at the two large paper scrolls in his hand and opened them. A smile was engraved on his face when he saw the contents of the paper scroll.

"Ntabs," murmured Daru before going towards the upper first floor to take a bath.

In the afternoon, Daru was sitting on the upper second floor, waiting for his important guest to come.

Suddenly, Frey enters, followed by two men and two women in striking clothes, King Vanir, Queen Fiona, King Gustave, and Queen Mary. Daru immediately stood up when he saw the four important guests appear.

"Welcome, Uncle Vanir, Mr. Gustave," Daru said.

King Vanir smiled and replied, "I know, a shitty person like you won't die that easily."

"What do you mean, King Vanir?" asked King Gustave in curiosity.

"Ah, just a small rumor regarding the death of this foolish boy, King Gustave," replied King Vanir politely.

"Haha, that's not going to happen." King Gustave laughed out loud.

"I can finally meet you, Daru," said King Vanir's wife, Queen Fiona. He had always wanted to meet with his daughter's savior long ago, but because of the condition of the kingdom that there was always a problem, making him unable to do so.

"It's nice to meet Aunt Fiona, now that I know that Uncle Vanir is really lucky to have a wife as beautiful as Auntie," Daru replied with a small chuckle.

King Vanir puffed his chest with great pride, as if he were saying, "This man who conquered a woman as beautiful as him."

Daru smiled slightly and looked at a woman who was next to King Gustave, Queen Maria Edelgard.

"You must be the Queen of the Kingdom of Saria, Lady Mary Edelgard. I am Daru, the owner of Sarren Hill." Daru introduced himself politely.

"It's nice to meet you. I heard from my Husband, you are a great man" Queen Maria replied with a smile.

"Haha, I'm just a small business man. Please sit down, everyone," said Daru.

Daru then looked at Frey and said, "Frey, give Ged an order to take food and drinks from the restaurant and bar. Entertaining guests is an obligation."

Frey nodded and walked towards the lower first floor.

They chatted for a while before three people entered the room along with some bottles of "young people" wine typical of Bar Bull's Horn and food from Blue Star Restaurant. The three people were Frey and the two new employees of Daru.

"Then you can all start a discussion, Frey and I will leave the room" Daru told the four people who were there before moving out of his seat.

"Wait" said King Vanir and King Gustave simultaneously.

"Stay here, this discussion will involve you as the owner of Sarren Hill" said King Vanir.

Daru smiled slightly then said, "Alright, I'll listen, Uncle."

Frey and Daru sat back in place and the discussion began.

The essence of the discussion was the economic cooperation relationship between the two kingdoms with Sarren Hill as an intermediary, according to Daru's guess.

King Gustave asked for basic things such as agricultural products in the form of wheat, fruits that are durable, livestock, and others. He also asked for other items such as cloth, paper, natural minerals. King Vanir approved of it as long as the weight of gold the Kingdom of Saria offered had a price comparable to what the Kingdom of Resia provided.

When they had reached an agreement, they both looked at Daru with gazes that seemed to say, "You know what you have to do."

"Yes, yes, I will allow both kingdoms to do that here" Daru said with a flat expression.

"Hahaha, how much do you want?" king Vanir asked referring to his taxes.

"Let's just say, as long as the tax is not excessive, we will approve it" said King Gustave.

Daru was silent for a moment and thought before a sly smile was engraved on his face.

"In addition to one request for both parties, then Uncle Vanir and Mr. Gustave can do it without taxes" said Daru.

King Vanir gave a slightly bad expression and said, "You want to add to my debt to you again?"

"About? King Vanir, do you also owe Daru a request?" ask King Gustave.

"Also? You owe Daru one request as well?" King Vanir was surprised to learn that it was not just him who was treated like that by Daru.

They both looked at Daru who was wearing a calm expression.

Daru took a deep breath, then said, "Calm down, I will not ask the two of you to surrender your thrones to me or ask you to fight with other kingdoms. Just two trivial requests, that's all."

The two Kings remained silent long enough to think, until King Vanir opened his mouth again.

"Alright, I can be sure that you will not use a king, after all" said King Vanir.

"I also agree" said King Gustave.

Suddenly,

"Pff." The voice of someone holding back a laugh was heard by the two Kings and Queens along with Daru. They looked at the source of the voice, Frey, who was covering her mouth with her right hand.

"What's up, Frey?" asked King Vanir in astonishment.

"Nothing, Your Majesty," replied Frey who was trying with all her might to hold back her laughter.

With you agreeing to Daru's terms, that means you've been taken advantage of by him. Ah, I'm falling more and more in love with this guy, Frey thought.

"Oh, King Vanir, I have a question for you. Why did you agree to cooperate with my Kingdom even though it only offered gold as its medium of exchange?" asked King Gustave in curiosity.

King Vanir paused for a moment and replied, "Why, the gold coins in my Kingdom have suddenly diminished so much. While very few gold mines are available in the Kingdom of Resia. That's the reason why I'm cooperating with your Kingdom that has an enormous source of gold."

"Pff." Frey held back his laughter.

"Frey?" king Vanir was getting confused.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, there is a frog in my throat" Frey replied curiously.

It was all Daru! I want to marry a great man like him! thought Frey.

Daru who saw Frey's behavior also knew the big picture of his mind, Daru could only stroke his forehead in response to Frey.
