Ainsley anxiously checked the ranking chart, and when she found her family name in the top 20, she slumped on her chair like a melting slime.
We did it! Top 20! The drugs sold to Jake got them a place in the top 20! Well, their actual ranking was #19, but it’s in the top 20, right?
This ranking could be considered good for a family that had never sold high-quality drugs.
Ainsley only did a transaction with Jake, but since all the drugs she sold were high-quality with around 10 conversion points per gram, she could snatch a place in the top 20.
After all, she sold tons of drugs and the points she got were numerous.
Actually, the difference between the one ranked tenth and the Sloan Family in the 19th wasn’t large– only a hundred points difference.
As for those in the top 5, the points difference with their Sloan Family was about a thousand points.
One would wonder just how many high-quality drugs they sold to non-mafia customers.
Well, getting 19th place is already good!
Ainsley was satisfied with the result, but she didn’t know that her family’s performance alarmed many other participants who already had deep connections in the drug business.
“Just how did the Sloan Family get the 19th place? Their family only sold low-quality drugs all these years, and recently, they had abolished their drug business too!”
“Yeah, yeah. How could they even have suppliers? This is weird. The Sloan Family is indeed worthy of being a dark horse.”
“We can’t underestimate the Sloan Family’s connection. I heard that they have a good relationship with the Billios Family…”
“Ah, did the Sloan Family sell their drugs to the Billios Family? That makes sense!”
“Which family is their supplier, though?”
These mid-ranked families usually got their drug supplies from the affiliated high-ranking families.
Almost all families in the top 20 of the drug relay ranking got their drugs to supply from their affiliated high-ranking families.
In other words, even before they became a high-ranking family, they already became the other party’s lap dog.
After all, it was hard for a new high-ranking family to survive in the circle without any backings.
Most often, the new high-ranking family would send their sons or daughters over to the older high-ranking families to be married off.
Some became concubines. Some became boy toys, and so on. Still, if that allowed the new high-ranking family to survive without being pushed out by the oldies, they could do anything!
Thus, the potential tournament winners already had a large backing behind them, ready to advance anytime.
But Ainsley’s family didn’t seem to have a good backing in terms of the drug business?
The other families were confused to the bone.
“The Sloan Family’s backing is the Walter Family, right? But the Walter Family doesn’t do drug business, ah!”
“Maybe they got help from the 7 sacred families. The Sloan Family was once a part of the 7 sacred families, after all.”
“That’s in the past, dummy. Didn’t you see how many conflicts that family has with the current 7 sacred families?! The Aretha vs Sloan War, the Roid Valley battle, and so on…”
“Uh…then, they have the Billios Family’s backing?”
“The Billios Family is the customer. Not the supplier.”
“…let’s dig out more information. Can you find the Sloan Family Head’s activities for the past months?”
“I found it! The Sloan Family Head attended the high-ranking family annual gathering party a few days ago. She must have hooked a backing in the party!”
“Heck– how did she even get an invitation??”
“Uh, the information said that she offered interesting benefits to the families…such as elves potions, rare monsters, and so on.”
“Damn it. The potions. The Sloan Family is really famous for their rare potion business as well as their unique monster-taming service, right?”
“Right. No wonder they can tempt those high-ranking families.”
“Hush. Not to mention those high-ranking families are in the seven great families’ camp…as the Walter Family’s sworn ally, the Sloan Family has the right to attend their gathering.”
“Sh*t. The Sloan Family is really cunning. I just don’t know how that baby can have so many backings.”
“Right, right. Even if her business is unique, the others can just threaten her rather than cooperate with her!”
“Uhhh, maybe the big shots fell for the baby’s unique charm ability? I heard that her charm ability is so powerful it can subdue sacred beasts.”
“…forget it. We really can’t afford to offend this budding family.”
By now, many participants realised that aside from having a super young yet powerful family head, the Sloan Family also had a wide networking connection.
Some said that thanks to their mausoleum business, the Sloan Family also got the Shaman Guild’s backing.
Thanks to their unique monster-taming business, both the monster tamer guild and the beast tamer guild also had a close relationship with the Sloan Family.
On top of that, ever since the Sloan Family resolved their problem with the Alchemist Guild, the Alchemist Guild has now become a friendly force behind the Sloan Family.
After all, the Sloan Family had the rare elven potions in their hands, and it seemed that they had an elven alchemist too!
Many greedy forces had tried to rob the Sloan Family’s alchemist, but the alchemist was like a ghost, always hidden somewhere in the mansion.
As for the other two benefits…the mausoleum was a sacred place for the shamans.
After the Sloan Family reformed the business, more and more shamans visited the place, and it became hard to forcefully take back the place.
As for the monster-taming service…it belonged to the family head, and it was so damn hard to kidnap her!
