Chapter 513 - Back to Kuvosie (Part-2) (1/2)

Ryuu sent a stink eye towards Yu Wu who was desperately trying not to laugh at him, as he had a disgruntled expression on his face while trying hard to finish his paperwork.

”Here boss, this is the last stack for the day then you would be free.”

Ryuu huffed as he spoke, ”It better be, and what is this nonsense, why do I have to deal with so much paperwork.”

Yamamoto chuckled as he spoke, ”Large organizations tend to create a lot.”

”Yes, yes I understand, but are there not people in the chain of command who filter out the paperwork so that the one sitting about them has not to do everything.”

”Your Highness they filter out the majority of the thing, but you are to be kept informed of various dealings by those under you and then you have to deal with major stuff yourself, think about your sister how much she has to deal with paperwork because of all this.”

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, ”Why can it not be like a fairy tale where the King or the Prince does not have to do any paperwork, just spend their days being lazy.”

”Well you answered your own question they are fairy tales after all, but in reality, a Monarch who is not involved with the workings of his kingdom is a poor one or just a puppet of someone.”

Ryuu deadpanned at him as he spoke, ”If I were an evil puppeteer I would have dropped all my paperwork on my puppets ŀȧps and be gloriously free.”

Yamamoto simply snorted at his words as he spoke with a shake of his head, ”It is so like you My Prince.”

Ryuu turned towards Yu Wu as he spoke, ”If there is anything else you may take your leave for the day.”

Yu Wu gave a small bow but before she was about to leave she suddenly remembered something as she quickly spoke, ”Ah boss, new shipments came in and they have been already been checked.”

Ryuu gave her undivided attention as he spoke, ”Really so are those items good.”

Yu Wu gave a nod as she spoke, ”They are top-notch quality boss, though do you wish to check them.”

Ryuu waved off his hand as he spoke in a tired tone, ”No I trust my people and if they say it is good quality then it is good quality I do not wish to doubt the judgment of my people.”

Yu Wu gave a bow as she spoke, ”Then boss I will take my leave.”, and with that, she left.

As Yu Wu left the room Ryuu's face changed drastically as it morphed into a scowl.

”Is something wrong Your Highness?”

Ryuu looked towards the door as he gave a nod before he touched his temples, and Yamamoto did not hesitate to connect with him through telepathic means as Ryuu began to reply back, 'I do not know their auction is going to be held tomorrow and both ours and their shipments had arrived today and for some reason, I feel a bit of unease, I think I should check the stock discreetly as soon as possible.'

'I remember you saying to Junior Yu Wu that you trust their judgment.'

'I do trust them, but is it so bad that I should not double-check it myself after all I might sound arrogant but there are various instances where my knowledge far outstrips any of them.'

'So true, so when will you go to check them?'

Ryuu growled as he replied back, 'As soon as I decimate this blasted paperwork.'

A few hours later, Ryuu made his way to the storage area, while greeting the newcomers after a shift change, since his arrival Ryuu had reinforced the storage runes with various esoteric arrays which he and a few senior members were linked with the bulk of them as well as the right to rework them only belonged to him.

Ryuu found a secluded spot as he tweaked the array before stepping into the shadows and disappearing, and less than a second later he found himself inside the storage room while the array inside the storeroom was down for the time being as such none were informed of his visit.

The storeroom was heavily reinforced with separate spaces kept for various items, from weapons, sutras to medicinal pills to precious herbs and ores were stored in here, not to mention various food items were placed which were catered to various guests of Kuvosie branch of Shangri-la.

Ryuu moved through each of them as he reached the dėsɨrėd destination, the storage food for fresh food, herbs and wines, the food items that were used to make spirit food for the many guests who came to feat in Shangri-la, the quality of Shangri-la's spirit food was top notch as because of its vast area of influence more often than not various extremely exotic items would appear.

'The only reason that people prefer Shangri-la to others is because of the quality of the products even though the spirit food produced is priced astronomically higher than any other places the quality eclipses the difference and now they are trying to compete with us by selling products at dirt cheap price, not to mention they had invited some famous Spirit Food Chef from around this parts, hmm, I would not be surprised if they will try to pull some underhanded tricks.'

Ryuu stood in midst of the resources as he closed his eyes letting his senses do the work as the various Dao he had enlightenment in helped him check them, a few seconds later a pulse of killing intent appeared as it disappeared as soon as it came.
