He hasn't yet thought about the potential repercussion that might arise due to that; but he trusted in one asset that ruled above all, strength.
Strength could twist reality and could cause the most vicious man to behave like the most piteous priest. That confidence alone made the possibility of changing the lives of the citizens achievable, and although he wasn't sure if it could genuinely make their lives better. He couldn't just leave things like they were.
With that thought confirmed in his mind, he regained the main venue with calm but steady steps that contained his decision and resolve.
Inside of another place in the mansion, somewhere in the many floors of the grand building.
A group of individuals composed of dozens in number was sitting around a large table. Contrary to the tables in the ballroom, there was no silver plate; not a speck of the delicacies down there were here. Only a cubic shaped wooden box was sitting in the middle of the table.
It was widely opened, and its content laid quietly for the individual to gaze upon. Small round pellets colored in crimson red hue were in the middle of the tablet.
One of the men sitting in a dark spot spoke with a loud voice, grating, and filled with power.
"The goods are here, now tell me, my good sir. Do you take them or not?", his voice contained apparent disdain. Far superior, and sharper than the one held in the nobles' tone. As if it wasn't just his standing or social class that was superior to the men he was talking, but his whole being as a different species.
Four of the individuals there couldn't help but have a change in their expression when they saw how the man treated them, but they managed to contain themselves as they knew that they weren't capable of facing any retaliation. Those four chiefs were the esteemed elders of the leading noble families, and the man who was speaking with them was a merchant from outer space.
The goods he was offering them were things they had been searching for years, and it was only due to the guests at their sides that they managed to come in contact with the merchant.
"My good sirs, although this isn't exactly what you have been looking for. The effect isn't that different, and the little side effect that you will experience can even turn into a fortuitous experience under the right use.", he spoke calmly and succinctly. At the same time, his hand fiddled with one of the round pills he grabbed.
The soft light on the ceiling reflected on its surface, and a glossy crimson color appeared on its cover. Silence permeated the setting, and it was only when the merchant gazed for a long minute that he left a long sigh escape from his lips.
"You peasant are quite difficult to deal with… Final offer, half of the price we have agreed on!"
"One more bargain, and I'll take my shit and leave this piss poor planet without any hesitation.", his tone showed the seriousness of his offer.
The ugliness on the elders' faces intensified, but they didn't dare to say a single word of fear of the man raising the price. Or even worse, leaving them without any of the pills they needed.
Their eyes met in the darkness, and they shared the hesitation that delved in their hearts. The fact was that the price agreed upon with the man beforehand was something they had to scrape every corner of their mansion to gather.
The offer given to them was beyond decent. The product itself had changed, causing the elders to hesitate heavily.
Then, they thought about the punk who was eating their food and bullying their seedling. A flash of anger passed through the mind of the golden family elder, and he decisively exclaimed in a loud bark.
"Of course, we will take!", the three other elders felt a pain in their pocket. But they could only nod in agreement with their brother.
A burst of long laughter resounded from the throat of the merchant-Akin to several burps released in a row- before he slapped the table with a swift palm. The table nearly broke from the movement, but he couldn't care any less, his lips parched open, and he sealed the deal with one last sentence.
"A pleasure to do business with the bunch of you.", his eyes glowed with pleasure. Although he had been calling them piss-poor and peasant, the transaction he had just done was worth a lot more than the travel fees he had done. He couldn't help but sigh at the thought of finding other trades like these.
His hand swiped at the void, and three boxes similar to the one on the table appeared. He nodded toward the individuals that were here; his nod was not toward the nobles, but the guests that were at the tables, only individuals like them, had the necessary contacts to meet him.
With one last move, he faded in the void, and the noble finally drew a lengthy tiring expiration. The eccentric antics of the merchant had wracked their nerves.
"Fucking bastard!", one of the cursed as his voice boomed through the room. His arm was tightly clenched around the wooden armrest of his chair, armrest that turned into splintered wood after a few instants.
"Calm down, Brother Merendinis… The deal had been struck, and the money had already been transferred!", his voice also contained a tinge of regret that didn't fade away.
"Our loss was great.", exclaimed the Golden family elder with a matter of fact tone. "Going as far as to say the foundation of our families are at danger after this deal is an understatement. But the potential gains we can do after breaking through can help us gain back everything in less than a year!"
"But now we have a more pressing matter to deal with.", his hand grabbed one of the pills in the opened wooden box. "A filthy little monkey had dared to threaten us, and had even gone as far as to want what is ours."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
