    "You know what Asong, do what you gotta do," I said to Asong and decided to head to the cardb and focus on using the space copse ability soul pathways to create a card. The Fine Gold employees had already delivered the ingredients I asked for.


    "Wyatt, it doesn''t have to be like this…" Said Asong heartbroken over the fact that she once again put the people over herself. She lost a loyal friend for the sake of the people and this wasn''t the first time. So it was easier for her to move on and do what would be the best for the future generation. But deep down in her heart, she hoped that her friend understood where she wasing from and would not hold any hard feelings toward her. But she knew better than to hold her breath on it, she had already seen how her duty towards the people had turned the best of her friends into her enemies. Asong had already made peace with it believing that if that was the price she had to pay for her duty toward the people then she was willing to pay it. As for the regrets that came with it, it didn''tpare to the satisfaction to have done the right thing.


    "Wait, that''s it? How can guys leave like that? Let us talk about it," Agatha said seeing the young card creationist leave, though she gloated at his dilemma she did not want to give up on the opportunity to make money. Even with just 40 percent of the profit, she will be making a killing, by just investing a little money and time. She had nevere across such a good deal and wasn''t willing to let with a fight.


    As a card apprentice from a humble background, Agatha has worked the streets and knew how much money there was in the monster meat processing. Thanks to the dungeon, just in a single day card apprentices kill tens of thousands of low-rank monsters just in a third-grade city like Sky Blossom city. But only 1/20th of that monster corpse gets processed to harvest its meat. If she had enough multi-armed butcher cards, she could easily monopolize the remaining 19/20th of the monster corpse of arge bargain. Because card apprentices would be willing to make a little money over the monsters they killed rather than them being cleaned up in the dungeon reset. Even if she only gets the exclusive rights for a district then she could be said to be given a way to print money. That''s what the multi-armed butcher cards wee, they were fucking money printing machines. Even if she had to give up 60 percent of the profits she would still be making what she was making now.


    Agatha wasn''t the only one who was willing to let go of the golden goose that was right in front of them, Cole hurriedly backed up Agatha by adding, "Yes, Master Wyatt. Please don''t be hasty. I think there is a middle ground we all can agree on."


    As a ck merchant Cole knew how the government and politicians running it seemed to work faster when it was about racking up benefits for the organization supporting them. Cole had no doubt in his mind that the young card apprentice didn''t stand a chance in the hearing on whether the multi-armed card should fall under the necessity use of the fair pricing act. After that soon in no time the government and the royal families will vote to pass the motion. Even if the southern royal family did not support the passing of the motion out of respect for their rtionship with the young card creationist it wouldn''t make any difference as the majority vote would still be to pass the motion.


    Once the motion gets passed then all the big families and organizations will instantly get their personal army of card creationists to buy the multi-armed butcher card recipe for dirt cheap and start learning to create the multi-armed butcher card. Soon these organizations will begin to monopolize the processed meat market in the domain under their control. This way though processed monster meat prices decrease to a record low, the ones to reap the most profit from this will be the big organizations and not the genius young card creationist who came up with the recipe for the multi-armed butcher card. As for him, he would have be the innocent but poor bystander that had watched the golden goose get stolen right in front of his eyes. Cole''s cred as a ck merchant did not allow him to sit by as the golden goose gets stolen, he had to make waves and protect his gold.


    Therefore, Cole nned to persuade Madam Asong and the young card creationist to calm down and meet at a middle ground where both of them get what they want and no third party makes fortune at their expense. The only problem was that Asong had nothing to gain from thispromise, but Cole noticed the pain in Asong''s eyes as the young card creationist turned his back on her. As a ck merchant Cole had noints about ying with others'' feelings. Making his calction Cole finally set his n in motion.


    Hearing Cole, I paused. Because I too knew that I had nothing to gain from this matter reaching the central capital. So I wanted to hear what this fatty had to say.


    Seeing the young card creationist pause Cole sighed in relief and hurriedly monitored Asong''s micro-expressions, as expected she was willing to be reasonable to save her friendship with the young card creationist. Now that his n was off to a good start Cole decided to set up a field where the two of them could reason with each other. This was easy for Cole as this came with his job specification.
