Pavilion Chief Maxwell and Elder Rudolph stood before each other, excitement visible on their faces as they read the stream of information contained within the jadeslip that a spy that they sent towards the Mirthful Fairies Association.
"And so it begins, the Association of that silver-haired woman is crumbling, it's really laughable thinking that they completely opposed us just a few days ago and now, look at what's happening to their Association..." Rudolph couldn't suppress the smirk on his face and Pavilion Chief Maxwell had the same relief on his face.
"Now that they are crumbling, it's time for us to step in and offer them a hand while they're drowning," Pavilion Chief Maxwell said with a smile, Elder Rudolph turned towards him in confusion, "Why would we do that, Pavilion Chief? Isn't our goal is to see their destruction?"
Maxwell's disappointment towards his subordinate surfaced. Regaining his composure, he patiently explained, "I want to see them destroyed but if we can keep them as our loyal subordinate, that would be much better, after all, they have the Garden of Eden and once we knew how a Garden of Eden is made, we can just throw them away..."
"I see, Pavilion Chief's knowledge and wisdom really is boundless as the ocean! To think that the Pavilion Chief could think of such a measure, this Elder's eyes have opened..." Elder Rudolph humbled himself down and praised, Pavilion Chief Maxwell rolled his eyes, "Enough with the pleasantries, let's observe them for now and when we see that they're on the brink of despair, we'll hand them a stick to hold on..."
Elder Rudolph nodded his head and the two Elders continued their discussion.
Meanwhile, back at the Garden of Eden, the employees that pledged their loyalty towards the Mirthful Fairies Association could be seen with knitted eyebrows. After realizing that they would stand against the gigantic influence known as the Medicine Pavilion, they became uncertain about their future and asked for their backing.
The loyalty of these men was stable, but a single spark of fire fueled by the fear of the unknown could easily raze it to the ground. The spy that the Medicine Pavilion sent to work for the Mirthful Fairies Association several years ago could finally do his job.
The spy's name was Altobar, his gentle countenance and the pure light within his eyes along with his timid attitude made him a likable person that quickly became trusted among the ranks of the employees. When Kevin and Conner tasked them to harvest these low-leveled Spiritual Plants that couldn't even be used in pill concoction, he frowned in confusion but still reported these events to his superiors.
Afterward, he ignited the doubts within his fellow employees' heart and sparked an outrage that would clarify everything regarding the backing of the Association. Altobar thought that he was quite wise but little did he knew that this was what Dan wanted to happen all along.
Arriving with Grace, Kevin and Conner revealed relieved expressions on their faces as they hurriedly silenced the crowd. Amidst the doubtful gazes of the employees, Dan walked above the podium and Grace bowed her head in a respectful gesture.
"To clear the doubts within your hearts, I shall announce my true identity so that the fear and uncertainty within your hearts will be cleared. I do hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation, together..." Dan stepped forward before taking an unassuming token from his Spatial Ring.
Inserting his Spiritual Qi inside the token, it shone as brightly as the sun and illuminated the entire Garden as a strong surge of oppressive aura descended upon the bodies of the employees. The aura from the token flew towards the skies and formed two words that reeked of dominance.
"Honorary Disciple..."
Everyone's eyes widened and focused on those two words. Particularly, Altobar whose knees couldn't help but tremble in fear and apprehension towards his future if his status as a spy was found out.
Honorary Disciples possessed absolute authority within the Paradyne Academy. And indeed, with the backing of such a disciple, they had the hope of standing against the Medicine Pavilion. Under the beacon of hope known as Dan, the doubts within the employees' hearts were cleared and they worked in fervor and anticipation towards their future.
Dan's eyes narrowed and with the help of the System and his strong perception, he sharpened his senses and found an employee that injected a stream of information into a jadeslip. However, he didn't reveal that spy's identity to the public, instead, he told Grace about it and the latter appropriately handled the case by delegating unimportant tasks towards the spy.
Dan needed the spy's existence to struck fear towards the Medicine Pavilion's hearts regarding their plans. If those bastards became increasingly anxious and attacked them directly. Dan would have an excuse in demolishing them down.
After reassuring the hearts of the employees, Dan discussed the issue regarding mass producing the salt crystals within the Spring Yang Bamboo and Kevin along with Conner swiftly addressed the issue using the knowledge that they gathered from medicinal essence extraction.
Dan felt relieved that the two possessed such knowledge and now that the issue about mass producing those items was completed, it was the time to wait for the Medicine Pavilion's response.
"By the way, Grace, Since this Association is using my identity as a backing, I should have a share of the overall profits..." Dan interjected and the two 'men' turned towards his direction. Their expressions were calm but one could see the apprehension within their eyes.
They knew that they had to appease Dan's appetite or else, once they lost his backing, everything will fail and their dreams would crumble. It was something that they didn't want to witness no matter what.
"Ermm, we don't have an issue about that sir, but can you please give us more time to procure your share?" Kevin's countenance looked pale under the immense pressure and Dan chuckled in response, "You do not need to be that anxious, trust me that I won't go away, after all, my companion is working here and I can't just abandon her, can I?"
Hearing his words, Kevin heaved a sigh of relief and the color on his face returned.
"Though I said that I wanted a share, I'll just take thirty percent of the share along with a single condition..." Dan's lips lifted a mysterious smile and Kevin mumbled, "A single condition? As long as we are capable, we will do our best in satisfying your condition..."
Dan nodded his head in approval before saying, "It's just a simple condition, I want you to change the name of this Association and rename it as the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company..."
"A change name, is it? Then that's completely fine, we don't really care that much regarding names, we will do as you say and offer you thirty percent of the net profits after we're done selling the first wave of the products that you invented..." Kevin's expression brightened, such a simple condition could easily be accomplished.
"Young master, since you're the one that discovered those two items, can you give us your logo so that we can place them on the jade bottles containing those items?" Conner interjected at the side and Dan thought for a moment before taking a pen and paper and drawing the logo that he wished for.
Witnessing Dan's finesse in sketching his personal logo, Grace couldn't help but smile. Conner took the sketch of the logo from Dan's hands while Kevin made a decree, effective starting today.
"In this day, the fifth day of the tenth month of the year, the Mirthful Fairies Association shall change its company name into the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company..."
Pavilion Chief Maxwell and Elder Rudolph stood before each other, excitement visible on their faces as they read the stream of information contained within the jadeslip that a spy that they sent towards the Mirthful Fairies Association.
"And so it begins, the Association of that silver-haired woman is crumbling, it's really laughable thinking that they completely opposed us just a few days ago and now, look at what's happening to their Association..."
