Chapter 119: Game Of Damand and Supply
The morning on the resting platform dawned with its usual serene, twilight glow.
Daniel, feeling remarkably refreshed despite the... eventful... night spent, negotiating terms with Olenna, watched as the elegant woman meticulously prepared for their expedition.
Ayra and Lia were still deeply unconscious back in their shared section of the luxurious tent, the double dose of Olenna’s special Palm Wine ensuring they wouldn’t be interrupting any delicate business transactions for quite some time.
"They’ll wake up thinking they had a particularly wild night of celebratory drinking," Olenna had assured him with a wry smile, adjusting the collar of her impeccable business suit.
"The Palm Wine has a delightful, if somewhat exaggerated, reputation for inducing profound and lengthy hangovers, especially on the unprepared.
It’s quite convenient for... delicate operations."
Daniel just shook his head, a reluctant grin playing on his lips.
Olenna, bound by their soul contract, was now his agent, his eyes and ears in the intricate underbelly of this platform.
Her first task: liquidate their mountain of surplus Yin and Yang cards.
He had entrusted her with the bulk of their haul, keeping only a small emergency reserve in his S-Grade [Elementary Storage Ring].
The risk was minimal; the soul contract ensured her absolute loyalty, a fact that both relieved and subtly unnerved him.
