Chapter 1009: Mardhan (1/2)

Mardhan.

The name of the low self-esteemed brother of the triplets.

The next day after the meeting in the inn.

Mardhan is walking towards the most luxurious bar in the city. He doesn't look anywhere near like a person of his status should. He looked ragged and his eyes are clearly screaming that he is a drunkard.

He went to the bar and sat at his special reserved table as he drank one drink after another. Soon, a woman walked in and sat beside him. Mardhan placed his hand around her as both of them flirted with each other.

”Who do you want to take today, Young Master?”

She is the owner of the largest brothel in the city. The brothel has a specialty. None of the women that worked there are being forced to work there. They all took the job as a prostitute willingly.

And it was known that the owner of the brothel never sleeps with anyone, except for Mardhan of course.

While they are talking like that, a middle-aged-looking man with a large frame and a refined look walked into the bar. A waitress welcomed him and the middle-aged man asked.

”Is there any regular customer of your bar present at the moment?”

The Waitress felt confused for a bit on why he is asking but still showed Mardhan sitting in the corner.

”Bring one of everything on your menu to that table. Including the Side dishes.”

With that, the middle-aged man walked to that table and asked the flirting couple politely.

”Hello Sir, if you don't mind. May I sit with you?”

Mardhan was surprised and confused which was apparent on his face.

”I am a merchant and I need to know a few things about the alcohol in this bar. The waiter said that you are a regular customer here. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you for a few minutes.”

Mardhan thought for a moment and gestured him to sit. From the looks of it, the other party clearly doesn't know who he is. If he does, he wouldn't come and talk to him like this. Everyone who knows his identity wouldn't respect him that much.

”Are you new to this city?”

”I am new to this realm actually. I used to do business in another realm and I want to break into a new market. And I heard that the Ash Demon realm has a large chunk of consumers.”

”That depends on your product actually.”

”My product is alcohol. At least, the one that I want to use now. That is why I came to this bar. I heard this bar has the widest variety of liquors in the whole city. I want the opinion of a regular customer to break into the market with a proper liquor.”

”Alcohol? That is actually a tough market to break into in this realm. Ash Demons are really fond of liquor and they drink a lot. For that reason, many races already brought many varieties of liquor. If I must say, the market is stable than ever. You might get disappointed.”

”I hope you would say the same again after you drink my liquor.”

By now the waitress brought all the drinks and snacks.

The middle-aged man looked through the drinks and took out different jars from his storage and matched one with every drink.

”These are the drinks that are somewhat similar to the ones that are available here. Taste both of them and give me your opinion.”

Mardhan was surprised, but he obliged. Anyway, all he does is drink and whore around. Since someone is paying for it, he is even more satisfied.

But as he drunk one liquor after another, his facial expression kept on changing.

”How is this possible?” He muttered as he looked at the middle-aged man.

”Just who are you?”

”I am sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ranki. As I said, I am a merchant that deals with different businesses.”

”Your alcohol is the best that I tasted. How do you proceed with this business? Are you going to open bars?”

”Not really. As I said, alcohol is only one of my many businesses and it is not even the main one. There are a lot more businesses I handle. I am just using this to break into the market of the Ash Demon realm. So, I would be selling recipes.”

”Oh? What is the price?” Mardhan's eyes lit up.”

”That depends on the size of the Ash Demon realm's market. As much as it would benefit the buyer if they have a fixed price, I didn't get these things for a cheap price. I need a considerable profit. But I am sure no matter who buys it they would make a dozen times of what they paid for me if they utilize them properly.

Don't you think so?”

”Yes, they definitely would.”
