Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 284: The Dark Lord’s Quest

"Hehehe. Dark Lord, I’ve scouted the area but there were no signs of the secret realm." Eunuch Xin bowed to the Dark Lord and said.

The Dark Lord closed his eyes and nodded.

"Maybe my memories are finally failing me. It has been so long." He said and glanced up into the sky. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

His pale skin with his long black hair made him look like a statue instead of a man.

The Dark Lord glanced around and said, "Maybe it’s at the peak over there."

"Hehehe, I shall get it checked out." Eunuch Xin bowed to him and said.

He didn’t waste any time and his figure turned into a red shimmer, and he disappeared from where he was in an instant.

The Dark Lord stood up and walked towards a stream.

All around him were thick foliage and howling of beasts in the distance.

He and Eunuch Xin had been in the mountains searching for the secret realm for some time.

And even though they couldn’t find it after some effort, the Dark Lord wasn’t going to give it up, he needed what was inside to execute the next step of his plan.

Without it, his powers were locked and he would have difficulties facing the Qing Feng Sect and the cultivators from the other sects.

And so, they stayed in the mountains searching for the entrance to the secret realm.

...

Meanwhile, in the Lin Mansion.

Hun Xiong Kun and Liu Shao sat in the main hall while they waited for Lin Xuan Qi to arrive.

Servants poured them a cup of tea and they picked up the teacup to have a sip.

The warm tea warmed their body and they gave out a satisfying ah and smiled awkwardly at each other.

They didn’t know each other and they weren’t too sure what Lin Xuan Qi had for them.

"Sorry for the wait. Here, let me use this tea in place of wine." Lin Xuan Qi came to their rescue and rescued them from their awkward wait.

He sat down and gave them a toast with his teacup.

Hun Xiong Kun and Liu Shao returned his toast.

After the formalities were done, Lin Xuan Qi went straight to the point.

"I’ve invited you here to talk about the new business."

When Hun Xiong Kun and Liu Shao heard him, they were delighted.

"I’m willing to invest with all that I got." Hun Xiong Kun said with excitement.

His rice business had boomed after working with Lin Xuan Qi.

And he saw how Lin Xuan Qi had set up the soap business from nothing to a thriving business.

If he missed out on this opportunity, Hun Xiong Kun was sure that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"I’m listening with all ears." Liu Shao leaned forward but was much more reserved and didn’t show much of what he was feeling inside.

He was far more wealthier coming from a cultivation clan and was more used to making such deals.

After getting to know Lin Xuan Qi from Sima Long, he had also seen how capable Lin Xuan Qi was, helping Sima Long to gain more influence in the Sima Family.

He would be more than happy if he was able to achieve the same for this new venture with Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi gave them a smile and said, "It is about the new business venture that I’m planning but it will be different from what you think."

"Different?" Hun Xiong Kun and Liu Shao were sure and they asked.

"We can work together in what I call a sole dealership.

"I will split up the city into different areas, and you will be the sole dealers selling the product that I have in your designated area.

"The distribution, retail and sales shall be handled by you and you shall not intrude into the designated areas of the other sole dealers."

He explained what it was about and they went into silence, pondering on what it meant for them.

Lin Xuan Qi gave them time to think about it but added on and said, "The East and West area of the dealership shall be designated for both of you.

"As for the other areas, anyone interested would have to give me the best deal to clinch the dealership."

Hun Xiong Kun drummed his fingers on the table while Liu Shao had a sip of his tea.

Even though it was not investing into the business like what they thought, they weren’t going to reject what Lin Xuan Qi had said.

His proposal sounded like good news for them and it enticed them not to give up the opportunity to have the dealership.

They weren’t too sure how much less of a profit margin they would be able to get if they had to bid for it.

Liu Shao’s family had some inns where he was sure that the MSG would help boost their business and so he was pretty interested in it.

As for Hun Xiong Kun, he had stores where he thought would be suitable to sell something that enhanced the taste of food.

Everyone had a need for that and making it accessible sounded like a good fit.

After some deliberation, Hun Xiong Kun decided to take the gamble.

"I’m in as one of the sole dealers." He said and lifted his teacup.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded and gave him a smile, "Then, here’s a toast to our new venture."

They took a sip of the tea and Hun Xiong Kun’s face was full of smiles when he put down his teacup.

He already had a good feeling about it.

Lin Xuan Qi after his sip of the tea, turned around and glanced at Liu Shao.

And it didn’t take too long for Liu Shao to give him an answer.

"I’m in too as one of the sole dealers." He picked up his teacup and toasted at Lin Xuan Qi.

"Here’s to our prosperous future." Lin Xuan Qi said and returned the toast.

After he was done, it was time to talk about the details.

First, there was the naming for the MSG.

They can’t be going around and calling it MSG to the customers.

It didn’t sound enticing and appetizing for anyone.
