------------------------------
( Meanwhile at the True Elites guild headquarters )
Orochimaru was tasked with gaining intel on the quantity of stock of potions that the Elites possesed. Wether or not they could generate a sizable income. Orochimaru began ' innocently' asking members , however Rudra had long seen through his scheme.
Rudra thought to himself , too bad for you snake, you met the ultimate schemer ' Shakuni ' himself. Rudra laughed inwardly at how he was going to play the child.
Then he approached Orochimaru and said ” Dont you want to buy some advanced mana potions? Guild members get a 90% discount”.
Orochimaru was stunned for a second, then realizing the great opportunity he had he said ” No sir , how can i reduce guild profits by taking a potion from the limited stocks we have .... And make it suffer losses”.
He intentionally used the word limited stocks to probe Rudra's answers , if Rudra said he need not worry about stocks , then they had a sizable stockpile , if he did not it meant the stock they had was very limited.
Rudra laughed ” well its a marketting stunt anyway , you dont need to worry about the stocks , i agree we could only produce a pitifully low amount of potions just a thousand or so , that too at 96 coins a bottle , this time its just a promotional event to try bring customers to the store , while silently increasing other commodities prices and gain an income ”.
” You go grab one now, it doesnt really matter much to the guild , id be more happy if its in our members hands ”. Rudra said.
Orochimaru's eyes shined ..... He had stumbled upon important intel here. He thanked Rudra and quickly bolted to contact his superior in the Ambani corporation.
Rudra laughed .... He wanted to see what organization was actually behind Orochimaru , and today from his reaction he knew that the fish had been hooked , lined and sinker!
In his report Orochimaru narrated his understanding of the incidence and that the shops should not have more than 50-100 stocks left.
The seniors in Ambani corporation immediately formulated a plan , and sent the Demolition boys vice guild master to buy all remaining stalk under the alliance's name .
They analysed that buying all stock should increase the reputation of the alliance , whereas remove the buzz around the Elites stores.
The vice guild master started streaming his feed live , with the title ' BUYING ADVANCED MANA POTION , FULL STOCK! '. As he approached the Elite store that was currently under FattyKalsh .
Rudra had long since told fatry to fleece an incoming ship , soo when an arrogant vice guild master came in there. Fatty naturally licked his lips to see the juicy target.
The stream currently had 25K watchers , it was rapidly gaining viewers.
” F****... Will he actually buy all stock? ”.
” This is insane isnt it? It costs 100 gold a bottle , not 100 bronze ..... They cant buy the entire stock can they? ”.
Speculation about the outcome was currently being made , when the vice guild master said
” I want all bottles of the advanced mana potion in your store ”.
