Chapter 149 Why Work When You Can Be

”Next customer” Said Daniel with his usual smile present on his face

After four hours spent waiting in line, it was finally the Illusory Maiden and her coain” Said the Illusory Maiden with a plain, and slightly cold tone

Daniel's s ”Indeed we do What can I help you with?”

”We are not here for business We are here to talk to you about your relationshi+p with that kid, if you don't mind” Said the man that accompanied the Illusory Maiden

”Of course I don'tnow” Responded Daniel politely

The hest ranking disciples within the Sect of the Illusory Edge, but despite the smile alked around with, he was an extremely vicious person, and didn't share her co Daniel's dismissive words, he immediately became hostile to hih to cally at hih level cultivators that aiting for their turn to conduct business with Daniel

As of now, Daniel was untouchable within the marketplace

”We appreciate your disponibility, ait for you to close shop” Said the Illusory Maiden with a polite tone

Ever since Daniel had left her stuck within the illusion, a certain level of respect for him had formed within the woman's mind Especially since illusions were thefarewell, the two left the marketplace

-----

Despite the meteoric increase in fame, Daniel alone was only able to do so much This had caused their stall to make less money in the second day, than in the first day

So else that contributed to this situation, were the numerous problems that had appeared periodically

For exa essence treasures had tried to profit from Daniel's job, and had increased the prices of their product by doubled the price of their merchandise

Daniel didn't like that for a very simple reason He was the one thatat an increased rate, as most of the customer that came to his stall already had their own treasures prepared, and only a feere stupid enough to buy theart and Roley just so that they could convince these merchants to keep their prices at a certain level

Ligart would use his sympathy and charm, and if that didn't work, Roley would quickly ree venue the next day, and take away the majority of the daily flux of customers from this specific marketplace

Another probleroups that had come to propose a partnershi+p with Daniel

He had to politely refuse each and every proposition individually, as these representatives did not schedule an appointment to talk to hiside other legitied to hty percent of what they had made the previous day, and had to spend ten percent more for all of the essence treasures they purchased in the area

”This won't work for rim tone He had threatened the various shopkeepers all day, and yet, he had still only her price than before He knew that these people wouldn't agree to his demands for ever

”I know We have to open a marketplace ourselves, and only invite theto keep a reasonable price for their merchandise” Responded Daniel

”And how do you plan to do that? They could simply open a stall in the closest o to them to purchase items and come to us to have them turned into spheres” Pointed out Roley

Daniel became pensive for a few seconds, then he said ”The stick and the carrot”

”What do you mean?” Asked Roley with confusion

”We threaten to leave someone to each and every marketplace that can keep an eye to their shops, and write dohoever buys treasures from them We won't deal with those people That's the stick” Responded Daniel casually

”What about the carrot?”

A faint smirk appeared on Daniel's face, as he said ”We promise that we'll buy each and every essence treasure that the merchants have left at the end of the day if they open shop at our marketplace”

It was now sunset, and Daniel, Alesia and the rest were preparing to leave, when the Illusory Maide and the man that accompanied her appeared in front of them

Daniel's stall was the last one to pack and leave, so, the square was relatively eh to have a turn at Daniel's stall and a few guards were left

Daniel took four chairs and a small table out of his pocket dimension On this table, was a teapot, and four tea cups He then invited the two to sit, and sat on a third chair

The fourth chair remained empty, until Daniel turned to look at Zack, and said ”Come, join us for a cup of tea”

Daniel observed the face of the two e On the face of the Illusory Maide, no change could be seen It was al to seat with them On the other hand, the face of the er

”So, what can I help you tith?” Asked Daniel with a polite tone Behind hi their calculations about their daily earnings, dividing the ite theto leave
