Chapter 370 - 370: The Manager of the Lavender Business Guild
“What’s with that look?” Su Wan reached out and pinched Bayion’s cheek.
Bayion didn’t huff and push her hand away like she usually did but continued to look at her in awe.
“Lord Su Wan, you have a halo skill?” asked Bayion.
Su Wan realized that the halo skill wasn’t something that everyone possessed. For example, there was the dragon’s might, the angel’s holy halo, and the supreme demon’s evil halo.
Ordinary Lords and other common people didn’t possess a halo. It was a power bestowed on someone by their ancient, dormant bloodline.
Tristana and Bayion were in disbelief. They couldn’t process the fact that a Lord would be from such a powerful and ancient bloodline. Even the most powerful elves didn’t have a halo.
Su Wan had obtained the halo with Xu Yuan’s help, but she couldn’t tell that to anyone.
“I guess I’m just lucky,” said Su Wan. She had used it so many times before that she didn’t feel like it was a big deal, but seeing Tristana and Bayion so surprised made her remember that having a halo skill was indeed rare.
“This is so unbelievable… Even my father. Who is at the legendary level, doesn’t have a halo!” said Bayion.
“I was right!” said Tristana. “Lord Su Wan is favored by the gods!”
Everything was surreal to Tristana. When she established a trade relationship with Su Wan, she hadn’t known that Su Wan was not just a Lord but the strongest among all other Lords. Her territory had blown Tristana’s mind away, and now she found out that Su Wan possessed skills that even legendary-level Lords didn’t have!
Tristana was baffled. Su Wan seemed so extraordinary that if someone came to her and told her that the Lord was a princess of some powerful and ancient empire, it wouldn’t be very difficult to believe it.
She didn’t think anyone in this world had the ability or the potential to surpass Su Wan.
“Lord Su Wan, you’re amazing! This is the first time in my life that I have seen a Lord with a halo!” said Bayion. “Lord Su Wan, would you like to follow the path of an ascetic? My father has never taken a pupil, but he would love to teach you. You’re outstanding!”
Su Wan laughed and pinched Bayion’s cheek again. The ascetics had to renounce their armor and weapons and strengthen their bare bodies. Who would want to live like that?
She could become stronger with Xu Yuan’s help anyway. She didn’t want to become an ascetic.
Bayion held Su Wan’s hand and asked her if she could teach her to develop a halo too.
Tristana couldn’t bear to look at Bayion’s childish behavior.
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh at both of them. Bayion only let her hand go when Su Wan agreed to teach her how to develop a halo.
The servants helped the Silver Goblins and the Feathermen to change into something decent. They gave them food and water and bandaged their wounds. Each group sent their respective messengers into the main hall to look for Su Wan.
The Silver Goblins liked to boast about their numbers, so they sent 12 people together, while the Feathermen only sent their leader.
“Great Lord, greetings!” bowed the Silver Goblins.
The Feathermen took a deep breath and bowed. “I greet you most humbly, My Lord.”
Su Wan smiled at them. Both races were indeed different. She briefly told them about the arrangements she had made for the Lavender Business Guild.
”1 never mistreat the people of my territory. Although you’re not qualified to join my territory right now, I’ll reward you generously if you show me loyalty and value,” said Su Wan. “I want both of your people to work in the Lavender Business Guild. The Silver Goblins have a strong foundation in commerce, so I want you to manage the buying and selling of the wares. You’ll have the freedom to display your talents as you see fit without many restrictions. As for the Feathermen, I want you to supervise everything that happens in the Lavender Business Guild. You will monitor how the guild operates and conduct checks on the staff every week. You’ll report to me.”
The Silver Goblins and the Featherman heaved a sigh of relief. They were glad that they were safe.
The arrangement was perfect. The Silver Goblins were very talented in business matters, but their greed was their greatest flaw. It made them reckless.
The Feathermen didn’t have much knowledge about trade and commerce, but they were good at supervising and managing people.
However, there was still a problem. Who would head the Lavender Business Guild?
The Silver Goblins and the Feathermen were staff who worked for the Lavender Business Guild, but they still needed a leader who would be in charge of the whole guild.
Su Wan thought about it. If she didn’t have someone in charge of the guild, the whole purpose of making a guild in the first place would be defeated. There would be chaos.
Su Wan gestured to Annie, her maid.
When she approached her, Su Wan whispered something in her ear and gave her a token. It was the token to retrieve her troops from the Space Gate, where she had stored them before entering the city.
Annie nodded and turned to leave. She ordered the servants to prepare a carriage to head out to the main gates of the city.
Annie returned the following evening.
There was someone beside her. Su Wan was happy to see her. Annie had a good eye for things, so Su Wan had asked her to bring along someone from her troops who would be most suitable to head the Lavender Business Guild. Su Wan was pleasantly surprised to see that Annie had chosen Mestre.
“I greet you most humbly, My Lord,” said Mestre and bowed.
Mestre was immensely grateful to Su Wan. If it hadn’t been for Su Wan, she would have died in the swamps.
After being taken into the territory and nurtured back to health, Mestre accepted the place as her home. She respected Xu Yuan even more..
