Everything will be my way!

Chapter 432

«You’ve made a big mistake.» – Kyon said ominously, raising his hand.

As soon as the guards twitched, a monstrous pressure covered the entire room, the impact of which only Zosimos escaped. The training sessions with Eve and Leila were not in vain.

The guards and the servant froze, their faces contorted with horror.

Gusteau turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat, and his toad eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He gazed with fear at the two veiled girls. Previously, relying on spiritual sensations, he took them for ordinary people, but now these monsters emit pressure that is not inferior to patriarch Bazhen! They can kill him in the blink of an eye!

Of course, Kyon was bluffing. Eve and Leila don’t know how to use pure energy to attack. They are hardly different from those weak girls who met demons for the first time.

Lovr dropped his hand and the pressure was gone. He spoke in an icy tone, devoid of any respect: «I came with open arms, ready to cooperate, and in return you spat in my soul. Your approach is disgusting, Gusteau. I am not an ordinary person, but the messenger of the fucking goddess! I’m so fucking angry! Tell me, what will you choose: to die now or to try to make up for your critical mistake with action?»

«I… I’m very sorry, Mr. Kyon…» – the frightened man babbled.

«I need an answer!» – Lovr barked.

«I’ll try to make amends with deeds!» – the fat man rammed in a broken voice.

Such an authoritative person as the Sixth golden brother fawns over a practitioner at the superior phase. The servant and the guards could not believe what was happening. An unheard-of phenomenon.

«Good answer.» – Kyon nodded with satisfaction. – «First, let’s talk without unnecessary witnesses.»

Gusteau waved his hand, and the servant and the guards immediately disappeared from the room. He spoke in an obsequiously ingratiating tone, rubbing his palms together: «Mr. Kyon, I acted very rashly! Your anger is completely justified and fair! Ask me for anything! I will do everything in my power to redeem myself!»

Given the eccentric personality of the goddess’ messenger (he made such a conclusion based on the information he had collected), Baker could not help but believe in the threat of reprisal. For the first time in his life, he faced real danger, and under the pressure of the fear of death, he turned into an ordinary coward.

«Gusteau, I wasn’t the first to start it, so don’t think that I’m an extortionist villain. I am still interested in long-term cooperation, but it is unlikely that we will find a common language after I put my hand in your wallet.»

The extremely tense head of all the guilds of the G. P. in Rosarrio relaxed significantly.

Kyon said in a businesslike way: «In order to forget the offense, I only need one thing – information.»

«What information are you interested in?» – Gusteau asked, smiling nervously.

«I want to know everything you currently know about the demon empire and the beast kingdom. I’m only interested in verified data. In all the details.»

Kyon has already tried to collect information about demons and supreme beasts in order to thoroughly know how things are with Kara and Triana, but he did not succeed as expected. Information of this level is available only to the highest echelons of power. You can only buy it from the Golden Pig guild, but why pay if you can get it for free?

«Mr. Kyon, I am happy to inform you that we have sources of information in the demon empire, so in the coming days we will collect all the data and give them to you! As for the kingdom of beasts… I’m sorry, but it is almost impossible to spy on the supreme beasts. They have a keen sense of smell for harnessed congeners, and they smell foreigners a mile away.»

«Expected response.» – Kyon agreed. – «Among other things, I am interested in information about the invasion of the dark ones and the light ones. Any details will be helpful.»

Gusteau involuntarily coughed: how did he know about the invasion of the dark ones and the light ones?! Such information is available only to the highest elite! It looks like he hasn’t been sitting on his ass. Even the girls-monsters sitting quietly nearby.

Clearing his throat, the fat man nodded: «I’ll get information in the coming days. As a bonus, I can give you information about the reason for the appearance of the rainbow sun, as well as about the person who could actually rob the treasury of The Feruzs.»

«It would be great.» – Kyon agreed.

The fact that Gusteau had the opportunity to cajole the messenger of the goddess with information that can only be bought for colossal money was incredibly pleasing, because the guild would not suffer any losses from its disclosure.

As soon as the man exhaled with relief, the interlocutor said the following.

«And I also need information about the time and place of the underground auction.»

With a fake smile on his lips, he asked again: «The underground… auction? The one where all the criminal rabble gathers? Mr. Kyon, I don’t quite understand what we have to do with… Our guild is renowned for its crystal clear reputation! We would never engage in such dubious activity!» – the words of the fat man sounded so convincing that even a dead man would believe.

Kyon heard from Bernard that the black market is most likely organized by the Golden Pig guild, and if so, then the underground auction is also their work. Of course, this is done through dummy organizations, and if something happens, they will have nothing to do with it. However, the essence is the same. But the chance is not 100%.

«I want to sell something there.» – Kyon continued calmly. – «If you do not get the information, you will have to pay off the remnants of my resentment with money.»

At the mention of a possible loss of money, the fat man’s radiant smile immediately faded. The man thought for a while: does he risk losing a hidden source of income? The information says that the messenger of the goddess does not shy away from vile, almost illegal methods. For example, at the tournament of families, he and Xiao Bai arranged bets on the victory of The Stones at an insane coefficient with almost all the families of the Iron throne. In fact, Kyon ransacked the entire kingdom. And if so, it is unlikely that he pursues noble goals. He just wants to make money.

Having made a decision, Gusteau took a piece of paper, scribbled something on it and handed it to the interlocutor.

“What kind of product are we talking about?” – read the inscription.

«First, turn off all recording formations in the room. All of them.» – Kyon replied in an indifferent tone, nodding at the girls as if hinting that it would not be possible to cheat.

At Gusteau’s command, a servant entered the room and collected more than five formations, safely hidden in the most inconspicuous places, then he left.

Meanwhile, the jaw muscles on Leila’s perfectly smooth cheeks tensed. The ringing silence caused by the barrier in the headphones was annoying. Why did she ask only for three levels? She should have asked for four levels! And yet, what is dad talking about? She would like to be able to read lips…

Eve was much more curious than her sister. She tried to make out the essence of the conversation by the movement of the fat man’s lips, but she couldn’t do anything. She didn’t really understand anything except the name “Kyon”. It seems that the dwarfs at the factory also mentioned this name once, and the father said that Kyon was his best student. Who is Kyon really?

«I’m talking about a weapon that even an ordinary person can use and reload. Forty cartridges in the cylinder. A second delay between shots. No recoil. I’ll show you now.» – Kyon took out an impulse rifle and pointed at the frightened man.

«W-wait… You’re not…»

«The damage factor is limited to the lord phaser at the beginning stage, so you have nothing to worry about. Catch.» – while saying this, Lovr made three consecutive shots.

~WHOOSH~ ~WHOOSH~ ~WHOOSH~

Gusteau calmly caught all three shells with his fingers. His mouth fell open in surprise: this power… No doubt the shot will hit the lord phaser at the beginning stage! There are many types of crossbows all over the world that can shoot bolts with greater power, but reloading them will take a commensurate amount of effort, so ordinary people will not be able to use them. However, the impulse rifle does not seem to have this drawback!

«So far, the quantity of goods is limited to three hundred copies.» – Kyon explained. – «I plan to divide them into thirty lots and sell them to the shadow clans. I am sure that they, like no one else, are interested in buying them, because the weapons will allow them to significantly strengthen small gangs. Considering that the clans recently robbed The Stalbers – they have money. And I will thank you if you give them this information in advance.»

Lovr knew that after the recent raid of the security forces on their meeting, the heads of the clans would be cautious. Even though the underground auction has always been famous for its strict security measures, there is a high chance that not all leaders of the shadow world will visit it, which is unacceptable. In order to solve this problem, he demonstrated the weapon. This is the main reason.

Now Gusteau will definitely spread information about the amazing weapons to the heads of the shadow clans in order to earn more from the commission. It’s unlikely that Isaac, Diego and the rest of the bastards will ignore the message from a trusted source.

Meanwhile, the guild leader was nodding to his thoughts. As expected, the messenger of the goddess did not care about the laws and the well-being of anyone but himself. As the information collected about him said, he is extremely selfish and greedy for money.

«Mr. Kyon», – Gusteau spoke up, deep in thought. – «I understand that you will keep the method and place of production of such a unique weapon a secret… But at least tell me, please, do you plan to sell it on an industrial scale in the future?»

«Time will tell.» – Kyon shrugged his shoulders. In fact, the answer is obvious – no. Information about impulse weapons, as well as about firearms, is strictly classified. That is why he demanded to turn off all recording nephrites. How many people will believe the greedy, cunning and insidious head of the Golden Pig guild?

Gusteau thought about something for another minute, then handed the messenger of the goddess a note that read: “In the next few days, an hour before the start, you will receive an address. When and where can you transfer the goods to my trusted people?”.

Kyon shook his head: «I won’t give the weapon to anyone. I’ll bring it myself, I’ll demonstrate it myself.»

«It is your right.» – Gusteau smiled, although he was a little disappointed.

«As soon as I get all the necessary information, we will forget about today’s misunderstanding. Then we will be able to continue our fruitful partnership. Let me remind you of the conditions I announced earlier: remote cooperation and half of the net profit. As mentioned earlier, they cannot be adjusted.»

«I have to think…» – the fat man hesitated.

«Okay. You have a few days. If you refuse, I will find another merchant guild.»

Although outwardly Gusteau tried to remain calm, in reality he felt completely confused. Kyon behaves as if he is making a deal not with the most reputable merchant guild in the world, but with a street vendor. The man did not even remember when customers communicated with him in this way.

«Okay, let’s not drag out this issue. My answer is yes.» – finally decided Gusteau. Why drag out the intrigue if nothing changes for the better? And only an idiot would refuse such a lucrative offer.

«Wonderful.» – Kyon smiled, taking out a pre-prepared contract.

Having concluded the deal with a signature and a handshake, Lovr immediately made an order consisting of three points. The first one is a bracelet that fakes the «sound» of the vibrations of the elements up to the imperial phase inclusive (now he has up to the royal phase). It will allow him to successfully hide his identity as the owner of the 9 elements even in front of the imperial phasers. The second one is a concealment bracelet up to the imperial phase inclusive (now he has up to the royal phase). It will allow him to disguise his soul as a weaker/stronger one.

By the way, only the best formacists in the world will be able to make such powerful items (formations on them). Considering how much resources and time it takes to create them, the price of one product can exceed a hundred million. And it is unlikely that formacists, who are in great demand from the whole world, will take up the order of some unknown client. Without Gusteau’s influence, Kyon would not have been able to order these items even through XiaoBai’s token.

The third one is to organize the purchase of keys from all over the world.

Kyon needs the most scarce product in order to enchant the soul (and therefore the body) to the highest level of strength. At the moment, he has accumulated only 12.5% of the required amount. The Feruzovs, the second wave of demons and the fact that he was blackmailing The Clintons helped him in this. Even if the third wave of demons appears, it wouldn’t be enough.

Given the constant demand for keys on the market, it is not so easy to buy a whole mountain of them at a fixed price. Demand is much higher than supply. If a rich man appears, buying everything, then the next day prices will jump significantly. By thoughtlessly buying all the keys on the market, in two weeks Kyon will waste all the money, but there will be little sense. Therefore, this process will have to be extended for many months. And even so, huge finances will be required. One billion won’t be enough.

«Mr. Kyon, I will personally take care of this.» – promised Gusteau.

«Thank you very much.» – Kyon thanked him and got up from the chair in sync with the girls.

«Wait!» – the man suddenly spoke up. – «Do you understand that in this world everyone should have patrons, right? You will be eaten alive by envious people and competitors! There are many creatures all over the world who wish you dead! If you become part of The Bakers, then…»

«I already have strong friends.» – Lovr nodded at his companions and headed for the exit.

«In this case, you should be extremely careful even with your disguise skills. The information says that the bloody empress is looking for a talented and independent alchemist. Considering the rumors we’ve spread about you, you are her number one target. If she finds you, then you will lose your precious freedom, and maybe even be enslaved… Given her eccentric nature, anything can happen!»

«Thanks for the advice. My master and I will be careful. Have a nice day.» – said Kyon with restraint.
