"So, what should we do now?" The young man asked Noah.


"You would need an opponent." She replied.


The young man looked at one of the guards standing at the entrance of the door and called him. He made him stand at a distance and looked at Noah in askance.


"Inject your spiritual energy into the mark on the marble and throw it at it from where you are standing."


The young man did as he was told and as soon as it hit the guard who tried to block the attack, a vine started breaking out of the marble, and in the blink of an eye, it became big enough to envelop the guard completely and coiled around him.


The guard fell on the ground as the vines slowly increased in tightness like a python. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn"t come out of it, and soon as the vine sucked the energy, it grew thorns all over it as they slowly stabbed into his skin.


At this moment, she walked to the guard and used her wood elemental energy to free him.


The guard had faint stabs all over his body with slight bleeding from every hole that appeared on him. He stood up slowly and took a healing pill. The young man threw a spatial ring to him and said.


"This is for your troubles. Now get out there. Don"t tell anyone what you saw here."


His tone of voice completely changed. He has a serious expression on his face and his l.u.s.tful look over Noah was gone and was replaced by a look of vigilance and cautiousness.


"Now, can I meet the a.s.sistant manager?" She asked him calmly, she didn"t show a single reaction for his vigilant expression.


He looked at her once again and wanted to ask something, but he controlled his impulse and led her into the building and two minutes later, they are sitting inside an office room and on the other side of the table, an old man is sitting while looking at the recording of the demonstration.


It seems like the demonstration grounds are rigged with these devices previously to record every single demonstration.


After looking at it, the a.s.sistant manager looked at Noah and asked.


"What kind of product is this? How does the production process work?"


"A special genetic mutation in the seed and the artificial solidification of the energy. The marble is the crystallization of energy, at least the outer layer while the growth of the seed inside is suppressed indefinitely until it was used. At first, it only worked with wood elemental energy, but a friend of mine made a little tinkering. As long as the spiritual energy is concentrated enough, the marble will work.


As for the exact production process, I am not really ready to share it with you, before discussing the deal."


"You are not from this realm." The a.s.sistant manager asked.


"No."


"With this, you can make a lot of money, yourself why did you come here."


"We tried to go for the business in our home realm, but some people can"t keep their hands to themselves, so we don"t have a choice but to leave that place."


"We?"


The a.s.sistant manager asked curiously, but Noah didn"t answer. She looked at the young man that escorted her inside.


Looking at this, the a.s.sistant manager gave him a look from which that guy took the hint and left the place.


After he left, Noah took a deep breath and said.


"Me and my twin sister. She is currently acting as the mercenary for the Fiend tribe. I don"t know if you heard it, but she is one of the three people that killed the core disciple, took down the mountain city and the farm town of the Myriad Beast sect."


The a.s.sistant manager widened his eyes in disbelief. He looked at Noah who had a gloomy expression on her face as she continued with the explanation.


"She stole all my inventions and as soon as we escaped and arrived in this realm, we wanted to go directly to the nearest Blackwood branch, but she betrayed me and escaped with all the trinkets I made.


She used them to do what she did until now."


The a.s.sistant manager stayed silent for a moment and asked.


"So, what can we help you with? If it is just to sell this product, I think we can reach a partnership that is fair for both of us. We at the Blackwood don"t steal the inventions, we value the work behind the things than the things themselves and we invest in your capabilities."


"I know. I have enquired about your reputation and I know I wouldn"t be short-changed here. But I have one condition in this business deal.


The first product would be these marbles and we need to establish a manufacturing plant and I need some wood elemental energy users to train first. You get eighty percent since you would arrange the raw materials, the location, and the workers, I will only take ten percent."


"What about the ten percent?"


"I want you to use that ten percent to join the bridge between me and the Myriad Beast sect. Even though it is not public yet, I know that the war is going on and my sister is fighting on the other side. I want the Myriad beast sect"s help in capturing her. I want to take revenge for betraying me like this."


"So, you will give that percent for them?"


"Yes. Whether it is the form of a discount or straight up paying that sum. I want them to find my sister and bring her alive. If you do that, I will give you eighty percent in this product, seventy in the next one and sixty in the third one, and from then on, you can get sixty in every product.


That is my deal. I don"t want to negotiate, I don"t want to bargain back and forth. If you can do it, it is okay or I will go for Red Rock."


The a.s.sistant manager just smiled and said.


"Do you happen to have a few more to perform some tests? I would like to show it to our manager, he would be the one making the decision. But I am pretty sure, he would agree."


Noah nodded and gave three more marbles to him.


"I advise you to not try to a.n.a.lyze the structure so that you can replicate it, it wouldn"t end well for the person who tries to do that.


I will come by tomorrow at noon."


With that, she left and went out of the city, after reaching a certain distance she disappeared leaving some of the people that belonged to the Blackwood merchant group that are trying to tail her.


After losing her, they went back to how she disappeared and asked him what they should do next.


The a.s.sistant manager sat there as he looked at the marbles and heard what Noah said to him.


He looked at the form she filled. The name she left behind is Rona. After looking at the form for a while, he decided to go and meet the manager.


The shadow mouse followed him to his house. But when they came out, the shadow mouse is following a soldier instead of the a.s.sistant manager.


The soldier went back to the outer regions of the city and entered a fairly mediocre house. He spoke with the neighbors amicably while he was on the street as if he belonged here.


After entering the house, he removed a slab on the floor and went down. The shadow mouse followed him all the way and soon they reached a long pa.s.sageway through which the soldier walked.


Soon, he reached a large room in which an old man tinkering with a formation plate.


There are a lot of things around him thrown all over the place.


The soldier waved his hand and his outfit and the face disappeared revealing the a.s.sistant manager.


"h.e.l.lo, Manager.


I would like your opinion on something."


The old man didn"t even bother looking at him and said.


"It better be something important. I already told you many times not to disturb my research. You wouldn"t have a good ending if it is not worth my time."


"I wouldn"t dare to waste your time if it is a normal issue, but I think this is an opportunity knocking on our doors."


With that, he took out the marble and showed it to the old man while explaining the deal Noah proposed to him.


"A deal with Myriad Beast sect? This is definitely a great deal for us. Currently, the news on those three mercenaries is unknown to even us, so if there is anyone who can get to them, that would be a myriad beast sect since they would come across in the war.


And she only needs ten percent for this.


This is indeed a great deal. But why do I feel like it is too good to be true."


"That is why I came for you. This is indeed a good product, but for someone to give up that much profits just for revenge, they are either stupid and don"t have the business ac.u.men or they are trying to screw us over."


"Then let us hope it is former. Talk to her tomorrow and probe around a bit. I will talk to our contact in the Myriad Beast sect. He would be coming here in two days."
