“…” Right now, I really wanted these documents to be in hard copy so that I could throw them at Diana’s face.
It’s not like I didn’t accept a sly fox like Diana to fight back as I tried to subdue her. But what angered me most was how instead of fighting back, she borrowed cheap tricks to trap me. Did Diana think I was too dumb to understand what’s written in the contract and figured that I would walk into her trap like a helpless little lamb?
“Susan, you brought the silver milk water,” I chirped, seeing Susan bringing three glasses of silver milk water on a tray. I was pissed at Diana for trying to pull one over me. She had to be punished. Without punishment, how can I tame a dog that wanted to bite me?
“So, is this the rumored silver milk powder? It appears no different than powdered milk.” Commented Diana as she took the silver milk water from Susan.
“Go ahead, give it a try and give me your honest opinion.” Seeing the hesitant look on the trio, I urged them to drink the Silver milk water and then give me a comment.
“Do I have to?” Jaya asked, looking at the glass of silver milk water as if it were her enemy.
“Don’t get her wrong. She hates milk in general.” Cindy hurriedly stepped in to explain on behalf of Jaya before it affected our negotiations.
“I see. Silver milk powder is not milk, but if you feel uncomfortable, then you don’t have to drink it. Diana and Cindy’s opinion on it should be enough.” I gave Jaya a way out as it did not matter if she drank it or not. My target of interest here was Diana. As long as she got it, my work is half done.
“Jaya, it is not milk. Please don’t argue and just drink it.” Diana asked her little sister not to create a scene and drink the silver milk.
“Fine,” Jaya mumbled, caving into her sister’s stern gaze.
“….” My gaze stayed on Diana, Jaya, and Cindy as they each drank their glass of silver milk water. I witnessed their hesitant faces turn into astonishment as soon as the silver milk water touched their lips. Then I saw them empty their glasses in one gulp and close their eyes to feel the miraculous properties of the silver milk water at work.
Unlike Susan, who was in the Card Student realm, Diana, Jaya, and Cindy did not get many benefits from drinking silver milk water, but they did feel their soul get excited and active soul control become smoother. Even though the silver milk water was not much of a help to the trio, they thought they could absorb soul jade more efficiently under its influence. They felt with enough silver milk powder and soul jades, they could achieve wonders with regard to their realm.
“…” Even after the effect of Silver milk water had passed, opening their eyes, Diana, Jaya, and Cindy were savoring the aftertaste of it. They could believe their senses and could not help but wonder that something like this was too good to be true, even though they had just tasted it.
“How was it? Were the effects of the silver milk powder able to hold up to the rumors you have heard about it?” I asked Diana, with a satisfied smile, in response to her astonished face.
“No, the rumors do no justice to the effects of this silver milk powder. The product is really miraculous. If it can give this much boost to my card lord realm soul, I can’t imagine its effect on mortals. This powder is going to revolutionize the entire card world. With enough silver milk powder, the average card apprentice can compete with the genius and talented ones.” Having tasted and verified the effects of silver milk powder Diana’s worldview changed.
As a successful businesswoman, Diana knew not to trust rumors. That’s how she found it in herself to believe that silver milk powder was not a fraud when the world labeled it as such. But this also stopped her from assuming that the silver milk powder was a miraculous drug. She thought silver milk powder could help mortals with active soul control at best, and other than that, the rest was just baseless rumors. Even with just that, silver milk powder was a unique product in the market. With promising effects and zero computation, silver milk powder was bound to take off.
But the question remained whether there is enough silver milk powder for everybody and if everyone, including the poor, could afford it. Quality, Demand, Quantity, and Pricing all these accept are needed to be considered before releasing a product in the market. Silver milk powder passed in a vase of quality and demand, but quantity and pricing were still in question. Therefore Diana was not that enthusiastic about silver milk powder. Instead, she was using it as a reason to get under the umbrella of the southern emperor before the circle’s age-coming ceremony takes place. All Diana wanted was to get rid of Circle’s grip around her neck with a stronger backer. Therefore she did not think twice before laying a trap in the share transfer contract.
But now, having tasted the silver milk powder and having experienced its miraculous effects, Diana knew unknown to her she had stepped into a diamond mine. With such effects, the quantity and pricing of silver milk powder did not matter. People would be willing to wage war to get their hands on this stuff. Diana understood why the Southern Royal family had declared Siver milk powder under investigation for fraudulent claims. Silver milk powder was too miraculous. With enough of it, a family or organization can build an army of talented card apprentices in time.. With a miraculous product like silver milk powder, even the southern royal family, despite their prowess, will have to be cautious.
