A pack of bottles appeared in my hand\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a dense mist came off from the core, entering the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filling it with beautiful colors that I wanted it to continue, but unfortunately, it could not. It stopped after a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment after that, the color begins to drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, all the color got drained from it. Leaving it just as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand, and twelve bottles came flying. Unlike before, they are not empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the mist inside them. It looked at such, that they are the building blocks of the world. Some say they are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's so dense that it feels like liquid, but it's still a mist. It would turn to liquid in Grade IV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, and everything disappeared, including the twelve bottles as I appeared in my office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled and resumed the work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a new store-floors policy. Now that the whole tower had turned to the legacy. I have to make changes in the policy of operating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There hadn't been even a full day since the legacy started, and we have already seen stone owners increasing the prices exorbitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We put a stop to that immediately and closed two stores. They had crossed the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's clear that the existing policy wouldn't work anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, I know what I have to do. I have nearly finished with the proposal. It is a basic one; it will work till I create a comprehensive one by the opening day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Master Silver, they have arrived,' informed Lola. Hearing that, I had stopped and got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was out of the door a second later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lola, standing in front of the conference room opened it for me. I nodded my thanks and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Silver,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They greeted and bowed; the only one who didn't was Lady Blackwell. I nodded at her, before turning to the rest of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is there, Valentina Amellus, Miss Rolgath, Miss Ulaxasyn, and our construction partners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't a long ago; I had told you all that I would like to see you all under my legacy's roof once again. I thought it would take a few years for that to happen, but it happened in less than forty days,\" I said, and all of them laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I for one glad for that,\" said Lady Blackwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations on the advancement of your legacy, Lord Silver,\" she congratulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Lady Blackwell,\" I thanked, before making my expressions serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, will you all be able to do it by the founding day?\" I asked the question directly instead of ordering them to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they say, it's not possible. Then I will postpone the opening. I want the changes to be perfect I don't want the rushed work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be challenging, but the interiors will be done by the timeline,\" replied Miss Rolgath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So will be the plants,\" added Miss Ulaxasys. I turned to Amellus and the construction partners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be done,\" he said finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" I replied. \"You will begin the work immediately and will have ten more days to tell me. If it could be finished within a time,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I plan to send the invitation for the founding day\u002Flegacy celebration in ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it did not, then I will postpone it,\" I added after a moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stayed there forty-five minutes more; telling them about the new requirements, before walking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Eva wants to meet you,\" informed Lola. It surprised me, but I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am busy, but I could make a few minutes for a friend. Despite knowing what she wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that hard to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I reached my office and a few minutes later, Eva walked in as beautiful as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord,\" she greeted. \"Eva,\" I said, offered her a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" she thanked as she sat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I do for you, Eva?\" I asked directly, and she smiled. \"I am sure you already know, but I will say it. I want another floor for my store,\" she requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had already given you an answer to that,\" I replied. Refusing her request once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not the first time, she had asked for this. She had asked for it not long ago and I have declined her request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, why do you want it?\" I asked, \"With the legacy advancing, the space of your store has already doubled; it should be more than enough for you,\" I added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To that, she smiled, with a hint of seductiveness appearing in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but the workshop is going to take a space. We need a space, to complete the big order you have given us,\" she replied, looking at me with those beautiful blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today we have given her an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be wrong to say; that the order had already been given a few weeks ago. The timeline of it is just expedited; she will need to finish them by the end of the month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixty-thousand square feet isn't a small space. Many legacies don't even have that much,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half floor? Even Quarter will do in the underground?\" she asked, making her eyes pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" I refused firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to give her more space, I truly do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing what she is doing is going to put the city on the radar of people, I wanted to be attracted to the city, but I couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, but when the legacy advances next time. I want two more floors,\" she said, with her boring into me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" I replied, and a surprise appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the legacy really did advance to Grade 4, one day, and expansion skill worked like it usually does on other legacies. Then, giving her two floors wouldn't be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will hold you on your word when the time comes,\" she said and got up before walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched her leave, before focusing back on my work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilden Kingdom\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, you have called me?\" asked a man with silvery blond hair as she stepped into the parlor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard about the news from Harsoth?\" asked the woman sitting in a leather chair slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grade III, within a year. That man is really something,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in the casino when he heard that. He didn't want to believe it. It was too hard to believe, but his grandfather confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, about this,\" she replied and threw the note at him. The young man caught before reading and his eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five extra floors and he wants to open a casino in it,\" he said, with his voice shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the legacy had covered twenty-one floors of the tower, but now there are even five floors. The domain of it shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood well how much the size of the legacy matters. They have the second biggest legacy under Grade II and the twelfth biggest in all the legacies of the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't say anything reading it, but the ring on his finger lit up as he contacted his contacts and information came soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He digested it, before turning to his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want to do with the information mother?\" he asked slowly. He knew the answer, but he wanted to hear it from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want us to apply for that space,\" she replied. I expected it, but it still shook me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have a legacy, and we open many branches of our business. Accumulating a lot of wealth and influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been any other place. I wouldn't have been surprised, much less shocked, but it is a legacy and one with a bright future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning grandfather had that as long as Silver didn't die in the next few decades. Its ascendant into the throne is all but guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This offer is only for the merchant state and empire. I don't think, Silver will not want to bear their wrath choosing us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wouldn't choose us, with conflict in vision for our legacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is also a reason being Ilden allied with Geim, and they are attacking Harsoth. Not to mention, the undead, that could capture the city at any moment,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most importantly, I don't think it is wise. We are critical time, we should focus on grandfather and getting our hands on the most lucrative branches,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncles have already good, many of the good branches,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandfather is dying. So is legacy; the moment he dies, the legacy will disappear as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought is terrifying. The that brought us so much wealth and influence going to disappear, so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think, this is the right time, my son,\" she said and sighed with her head filled with worries. It had been for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hope, that our efforts will succeed, and some throne will agree to make our legacy a pawn. It failed, just as it failed to make any of them its heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The legacy is our shield. It's going to disappear and with it most of our influence,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is what protected us. Once the shield disappears, no one will protect us; the vultures will eat our flesh bit by bit, till nothing remains,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood well what would happen to them. It had already started happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had been a merciless businessman. He had made a lot of enemies, not just of merchant houses, but also of noble, powerful nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will not let us live in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her son, who was deep in thought. She too is having hundreds of thoughts, but she is clear about one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilden isn't safe for them. They won't die; the king will make sure of that at least. Not because he cares, but because he will need to for the other legacies in the kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They won't be able to do the business as they had been and many other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's better to start a new one. Use Velvet Garden as the springboard to enter the new market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won't be easy and there will be danger to life, but it won't be as much restrictive as it will be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They won't die a slow death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too risky Mom. There are undead and I don't think it is viable, even if Grandfather somehow accepts it. The kingdom won't, nor would Harsoth or merchant's states,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Silver won't accept it,\" he said, and I smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He might, because there is something only, we could offer to him,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confused for a moment before the understanding dawned on his face and his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap onto read 20 Advanced Chapters.
