Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1053

Kayan Alstreim inwardly sighed before he gestured his subordinate to speak up. There was no use hiding it since he knew that this must be taken care of as soon as possible.

The subordinate nodded his head, "Everyone! I just heard that Alchemist Davis had requested the Jaise Alstreim Inn to procure some resources from Jaise Alstreim's own mouth. Apparently, she is going to release this news to this list to the public and buy them so that she could collectively sell it to Alchemist Davis."

"What!? Is it true!?" Many people displayed the same reaction as they echoed.

The atmosphere became boisterous as they became dismayed. This ruined some of the initial plan they had in their minds.

"Yes! I felt that if we could obtain the list and get the resources instead, we could successfully gain the favor of Alchemist Davis!" The subordinate answered.

"How and where did you hear this?" Ravalat Alstreim's expression became suspicious. Following him, a few others also frowned.

After all, he was a person from the Burning Sea Brigade. It could be a scheme to make them disorderly, and as a result, lose the initiative to earn Alchemist Davis's favor.

"I... I was p-peek- eh... relaxing in the men's bath in the hot springs for fun, but then I heard the owner of the Inn, Jaise Alstreim, speak about what happened in A-Alchemist Davis's room from the other side. I heard her! There's no way I could be wrong!"

"Then what are we waiting for!? Quick! Stop them from going public! Bring Jaisi Alstreim here!" Kayale Alstreim waved her sleeves as she commanded.

"Yes!" One representative from each group quickly left the hall.

Everyone possessed a smile on their faces. After only a few minutes, they already got a lead on how to proceed with this matter.

Nevertheless, many women who were present cast a judgmental gaze at that subordinate.

"Good job!" Kayan Alstreim patted that person's shoulders, having a deep smile on his face. "You've truly done a great service to us by sacrificing your dignity!"

"Haha, this junior is honored, leader!"

However, Kayale Alstreim walked towards him and abruptly grabbed him by the collars.

"Didn't I tell you to be on the lookout on the ground floor? You used this time to enjoy at the hot springs... and ogle at naked women!?"

"Vice-leader! Please forgive this subordinate!!!" That person trembled as he didn't dare to lie.

"Hmph!" Kayale just snorted and let go of go as she no longer bothered.

'Men are all like this... Even he should be the same...' Kayale Alstreim narrowed her eyes in disdain.

Why does she have to earn his favor? Even go as far as to seduce him? She felt reluctant at her family elders words but felt tempted all the same at the thought of having an exceptional man like Alchemist Davis. Feeling conflicted and ridiculous, she looked around and saw that every beauty who had gathered here all thought that they possessed a chance.

A sneer hung on her lips.

With her here, would they dare to compete!?

A few minutes later, the door to the hall opened again. A blonde-haired woman wearing a fur coat above her robes entered the hall and arrived in front of them. She gracefully bowed a little and greeted, "Jaise Alstreim is pleased to be invited to the gathering of younger generational experts."

Her skin was fair and glossy, glistening, and a feast in the eyes of men and women alike.

Seeing this, Kayale Alstreim and the other women felt like they wanted to enjoy a hot spring! Since they had taken a break from cultivation, why not?

"However, I wonder for what reason I have been invited? Jaisi is not even a person of the younger generation."

Kayan Alstreim looked at Kayale Alstreim, urging her to speak since the other party was a woman.

Kayale Alstreim nodded and walked towards her before she calmly yet arrogantly demanded.

"Hand over the list."

Jaisi Alstreim's expression slightly changed, "What list?"

"Don't play dumb, you tongue-tied woman. We know that you already possess the list Alchemist Davis gave you to procure resources."

"What are you talking about? There's no such thing as that..." Jaisi Alstreim frowned.

"I won't force you, but I will warn you that offending the entire younger generation experts will not bore well for you or for this shabby inn." Kayale Alstreim's lips widened. Her deadly smile was laced with a threat that seemed to have greatly intimidated Jaisi Alstreim.

Jaisi Alstreim took a step back in reluctance before she sighed, "Fine..."

Everyone smiled.

How can a random nobody with no backing resist their commands?

"Everyone, please be understanding. I might possibly offend and incur A-Alchemist Davis's wrath by giving this to someone else. I need some sort of compensation. However... It seems that this list is crucial to you all...? I only have one list with me... So..."

Jaisi Alstreim looked worried, "To whom should I give it?"

"Give it to me!!!" Two people reached their hands out at the same time.

Kayan Alstreim and Ravalat Alstreim looked at each other as sparks flew atop their gazes.

"Ravalat! We obtained this information first, and naturally, it should belong to us!"

"First means nothing! Who decided that? The heavens!?" Ravalat Alstreim sneered before he looked at Jaisi Alstreim.

"Miss Jaisi, if you give me the list, I promise that my Brilliant Flame Corps will stand guard for the next fifty years. This will be a low-level mission my Brilliant Flame Corps would have our members take!"

Kayan Alstreim sneered at the unreasonable idiot and turned to look at Jaisi Alstreim.

"Hmph! Fifty years? I'll have my Burning Sea Brigade do the same, but for a hundred years! Moreover, I'll give you a hundred thousand High-Level Spirit Stones and ten Peak-Level Spirit Stones! You can trust me because it's from my Burning Sea Brigade's Treasury!" He exclaimed.

"Double that!" Ravalat Alstreim's expression became furious.

"Heh! My family also has a store that sells carcass of fresh King Beast Stage Magical Sea-Beasts! I could arrange and even give a better deal if you were to oblige and hand over the list to me this instant!"

Kayan Alstreim shouted as they fought back and forth.

Jaisi Alstreim's expression was pale as white-jade. However...

While they were fighting for the list, she cast a momentary glance at that foolish subordinate who thought he heard it coincidentally while peeking. He fell right into her trap.

Although Alchemist Davis just said to make this public to her at that time, she knew how to maximize her profits but also not go overboard by being greedy. Killing two birds with one stone was the best way as far as she knew, and with her years of experience as an innkeeper and a businesswoman, she knew how to measure their limits.

One might think that she was making enormous sums of wealth through this Inn, but it was not true. She was relatively making more wealth but not to a degree where she earned a huge profit. If a person were to look at her accounts, they would know that her profit was on the side of the low margin.

Just the ingredients, magical beast carcasses alone would cost a fortune, making her bleed in pain sometimes. She even spent a whole night crying and a month depressed a few years ago as she almost went broke from having little to no amount of patrons.

Fortunately, the heavens had blessed her, and she was able to find authentic and grand recipes in a random spatial ring that she bought from the street market.

That was the sole turning point in her life!

With these recipes that shook the Grand Alstreim City, she knew that it was just a matter of time before she owned an inn empire!
