The Ultimate Internet Power

New Rule

Daru pulled out his smartphone and contacted Zoref to confirm the development was previously delayed. Daru also asked Zoref to build cobbled streets connecting his shop and a place that would serve as merchant stalls in the future.

"Enough," murmured Daru after disconnecting the call with Zoref.

Daru then activated his stealth magic as he sensed the presence of three people approaching the second floor room. As Shera predicted, the two were Ronald and Zed, while the other was Frey.

The prediction is really powerful, Daru thought.

The three of them sat on the sofa, while Daru stood up and observed the course of the transaction. After the three of them sat down, Ronald opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry if my question offends Miss Frey, is Mr. Daru really ...." Ronald hesitates to continue his words after seeing Frey's expression turn bad.

"Yes, he's not around. I still remember when he talked about his ambition to create a shop" Frey said blankly.

"I'm sorry, we're both so sorry for what happened. If I may know, how can a great man like Mr. Daru be .. dead?" ronald asked doubtfully.

"A contract killer, he infiltrated the store and beheaded Daru. I can only bury a headless body, hiks." Tears poured from both eyes.

Daru who saw the amazing acting from Frey was surprised, his acting was really smooth.

Her acting might beat Maria Oziwi's acting, thought Daru amazed.

"Sorry, Miss Frey. Not that I mean remind you of that bitter incident. Again, forgive me" Ronald said, bowing his body.

"It's okay, Mr. Ronald. Let's start the business, Daru's last wish is to continue the Bukit Sarren business no matter what." Frey then took out all the bottles of shampoo and perfume from her dimension ring while wiping her eyes.

Reluctantly, Ronald and Zed put the bottles into his dimension ring. After all, Daru was the most important business partner to them. Thanks to Daru anyway, they can leave their illegal business.

"Be assured Miss Frey, the two of us will always help bring Mr. Daru's last wishes to life. If Sarren Hill needs help, we are both ready to help, whatever it is" Ronald said, handing over a bag of gold and silver coins.

"Thank you, Mr. Ronald, Mr. Zed. I'm sure Daru will be happy" said Frey.

After completing the transaction, Ronald and Zed left the upper second floor room for the teleportation portal.

"Your acting is good" Daru said before taking off his stealth magic.

"I almost laughed because I knew you were standing there" Frey replied with a sweet smile.

Daru then sat down next to Frey and leaned his body against the back of the sofa.

"good job. Supposedly, there will be no more guests" Daru said.

Daru recalled the words he had recovered from Julius' book, saying, "Frey, explain to me what happened 100 years ago."

"What happened to the Dark Plain monster?" ask Frey.

"Yes, there's something stuck in my mind."

"Past, Demon King ...." Frey explains what he knows about the events of 100 years ago from history books and the tales of older people.

A long time ago, the Demon King led monsters to attack all human settlements on the Isla Continent. Due to the increasingly terrifying chaos, the six Kings of the six kingdoms of the Isla Continent decided to send one of the greatest magicians, Julius, to deal with the chaos in various places. The chaos ended after Julius and his student, Xavier, repelled the monsters and built a wall that separated the monsters from the humans. The area within the walls was called the Dark Plain.

After that for no apparent reason, Julius disappears from the public, giving a big question mark to everyone he has saved. Until one day, six kingdoms announced that Julius was dead.

"That's all I know about the history of 100 years ago from old people's stories and history books." Frey ended his explanation.

Daru's brows furrowed as he realized that Frey had not mentioned about the elves at all.

"Yes, it's one kind of monster. Coming from mana-contaminated humans," Frey replied.

So, elves are monsters .... What does Julius regret? thought Daru while closing his eyes.

"Hahh, I don't know anymore. Go back to the upper first floor, I'll stay here" Daru said.

Frey nodded and left for the lower first floor, leaving Daru there alone.

Stuck in the truth, are you? said Daru in heart.

The day went dark, the customers began to leave Sarren Hill because the deadline for the visit was almost over. After no more customers roamed the Sarren Hill, all Daru employees gathered on the top first floor of the store. They all knew there would be an important thing their boss would say after his meeting with the king and queen of the two kingdoms.

Sure enough, Daru got down from the upper second floor and started talking.

"Good night, good work for today" Daru said.

"Good night, Boss!" yell at all employees simultaneously.

Daru smiled seeing the spirit of his employees. He said, "There are some important points that I have to pass on to all of you."

Daru's employees simply kept quiet to let Daru continue his explanation.

"The Hill of Sarren will be the place of transaction between two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Saria and the Kingdom of Resia. Therefore, I will build a warehouse that serves as a storage area for goods from both kingdoms. I want one person to make sure the two kingdoms don't cheat each other's transactions. I will appoint Shera as the person in charge of the transaction" Daru said.

"Ready, Boss! With that, I can observe the economy of both Kingdoms at once," Shera said in response to Daru's orders.

Daru nodded and continued.

"From tomorrow, sell all the goods for half the price. I will also set a purchase limit for each customer. You think, Shera, what's the limit that the store has to set?" said Daru while looking at Shera.

"Price a pack of cigarettes, Boss," Shera replied after a brief silence.

"Well, starting tomorrow, each customer can only spend five silver coins per day in this store. For those of you who work in the store, I hope you can remember the customers who have spent their daily rations. You give a sign or whatever it is, it's up to you" Daru said.

"Boss," said one of Daru's new employees who Ged brought in a few days ago, Diana.

"Yes?" reply Daru while looking at the woman.

"I can mark where someone is, Boss. If I tag people who spend their daily rations, will that be possible?" ask Diana.

"Yes, it can. How many circles are you and how many people can you mark until where you've run out?"

"Circle where I am is 55, Boss. I can tag around 220 people without a break" Diana replied.

"In case, ask Grandma Neia a few bottles of mana every day. I'm counting on you" said Daru.

"Ready, Boss!" diana shouted excitedly.

"Paste a piece of paper containing the new provisions of the Bukit Sarren store on the door of the store. If anyone protests, it's your duty, Rena" Daru said as he looked at Rena.

"Ready!" scream Rena while bowing.

"That's it, get some rest. Don't forget to eat dinner before bed." Daru then exits the store to wait for Zoref to arrive.
