And without a doubt, I’ve brought over uarding tea orders on the peri, I have invited myself into a cozy caravan in thehis territory
“Sir, theyour audience” Malphite’s voice sounded by the caravan
I lifted the curtain and found Kirk standing by the City’shim over into my van” I replied, “And I prefer you talk in your way, don’t you think?”
“Sir, yes, sir” Malphite’s nodded and left
Kirk showed his courtesy to rinThe van drove straight into the city, waggled

I retrieved my vision then asked, “How many days now?”
“It’s been 2 days, sir” Kirk replied with a lowered voice
“Have you straightened things here already?”
“I haveWinper is where I start erial personnel” Kirk replied carefully, “A your next instruction”

“Sure he knows the conventional business operation here” I hinted Kirk to sit closer, “What he doesn’t know is that we have a co setup and the Aqua clan’s fleet here”
“As appealing as it sounds, I’” Said Kirk, “Our contraband business is not able to feed the cost of 2 provinces”
“Precisely the reason I’m hereI know it’s a dream to let that happen so I merely hope it could feed this war only” I proved Kirk’s ideas, “On the one hand, merchants in this city needs my carrot, and carrots don’t come without a stick; on the other hand, I have a few adjusthten me now, sir?
“Before that, I need to talk to Aather the most influential businessood ball so I’ll throw them a few”
