Free Web NovelChapter 62: Mission Accomplished: Astonishing Rewards! (2)
"Snowwell Family Head, I truly deserve death. Please do not worry, I shall have someone deliver the medicine to you as soon as I return," Harley said very gently and cautiously. Once he recalled his previous attitude towards Jordan, he could not control the rapid beating of his heart. He was scared half to death now.
Darius tapped one finger on the table and said, "Is it the Silvermanes family that had you do such a thing?"
Since it all came to the usual faceslapping scene, he might as well utilise every bit of it to score the best evaluation and maxmize his rewards. In the end, what truly mattered is his own foundation, Harley, Gabriel and Jordan were merely stepping stones. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
His Immortal Pavilion is what truly mattered and its backbone is him, and his backbone is the system. So in order to gain as much benefits as he could, he was all set to milk this alchemist dry. As the saying goes: Milk it till you like it!
"Hehe, Young Master Darius, I really didn’t know that Snowell Family Head was your friend, and so fell under the deception of the Silvermanes family. You must believe me!" Harley explained hurriedly.
Darius smiled and said, "I believe you."
Harley immediately felt elated, but then he heard Darius continue to speak, "You’re a greedy man. Going by your personality and character, how could you actually agree to help the Silvermanes family without sufficient benefits? Tell me then, what benefits have you received from the Silvermanes family?"
"This-" Harley stuttered, but once he saw Darius’s sharp gaze, he tensed up and hurriedly said, "Thirty thousand silver coins."
"The Silvermanes family is really generous!" Jordan snorted. As the head of a family, he had a deep understanding of the significance of thirty thousand silver coins.
The Silvermanes family and the Snowwell family were very similar in that they both had shockingly large incomes, yet their spending was also extremely large. A sum of thirty thousand silver coins could only be painstakingly saved up over two to three years. That the Silvermanes family was willing to use such an astronomical sum to hire Harley meant they were completely serious in their attempt to utterly cut off the Snowells’ lifeblood.
Just as Darius said, Harley was a greedy man. To let him once again supply Snowwell with medicine, they would have to offer him a reward that exceeded thirty thousand silver coins. But the problem was that after the Snowell family had been hit twice, they had practically expended all the money they had available, so where would they be able to find thirty thousand silver coins to bribe Harley with?
This move may have been only a little wound to the Silvermanes family, but for the Snowwell family, it would definitely be a fatal injury.
Thank goodness he decided to lower himself and seek help from this mysterious young man with the pavilion!
Jordan could not help smiling. The Silvermanes family would never have thought that the thirty thousand silver coins they had handed over were practically wasted.
"Thirty thousand coins, that’s quite a lot," Darius looked at Harley with a faint smile, "Alchemists really are quite expensive. They had to spend such an amount to be able to bribe you."
"Young Master Darius, you jest," Harley wiped away the cold sweat beading on his forehead. He was not an idiot, so naturally, he could tell that Darius was being sarcastic.
"Because of you, my friend’s Snowwell family really have suffered a huge loss these few days," Darius said serenely.
Harley immediately shivered, but a flash of inspiration passed through his brain, and he hurriedly said, "Although the mastermind is the Silvermanes family, it is undeniable that I too am responsible to some extent. Thus, allow me to hand over these thirty thousand silver coins to the Snowwell family to compensate for the losses the family has suffered."
Jordan was astounded. A man as greedy as Harley would actually hand over the monetary bribe that he had long received? Just how terrified was he of his son!
Darius nodded and said, "This isn’t a problem for you, right?"
"How could it be?" Although he felt as if his heart was bleeding, Harley was all smiles and said in embarrassment, "This is something I ought to do, and it is a small token of my feelings."
"All right then!" Darius nodded, "I need you to do something for me."
"Young Master Darius, say it and it shall be done," Harley pandered to him.
"From tomorrow onwards, have the portion of pills usually given to the Silvermanes family be supplied to my friend’s Snowwell family for resale," Darius said.
When Jordan heard this, he immediately felt ecstatic. Alchemical pills were one of the two largest sources of income for the Snowell family. If they could get double the amount of their supplies, then their profits would also double accordingly. At the same time, the income of the Silvermanes family would be halved.
Should this last for a few years, then the overall power of the Silvermanes family would soon fall very far from the power of the Snowwell family, while the Snowwell family... would be able to completely defeat the Silvermanes family and become the most important clan in the little city neighboring Dragon City, and also become the only Ruling Family in the city!
"Yes, of course," Harley replied quickly. After all, all he needed to do was to issue the necessary commands...he would suffer no personal loss on his part.
"I don’t need to give you some kind of benefits in exchange?" Darius said with a smile.
"Hoho, Young Master Darius, you’re really such a joker," Harley said with a dry laugh.
"All right, there’s nothing else that I need you for, so you can go on and do your job." Darius nodded, sending Harley off.
"Why not have dinner first before leaving?" Jordan said politely. After all, Harley was going to do something for them.
Harley naturally dared not stay. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No need, no need. I should go ahead and get to work," he raised his clasped hands towards Darius and then towards Jordan while stepping backwards at the same time till he left the room.
