I Become a Landlady in the Game World

As for why Zorff targeted him specifically, he knew the reason.

But it was clear that his father had given the opportunity in the first place; it was the other party who didn’t know how to do business.

Simple-minded with brawn over brains, it was only after that his father gave the business to him.

Then feeling that his father was partial, the man kept troubling him, which was just outrageous.

If the other party disgusted him, he just reciprocated!

Who was afraid of whom?

Listening to Theodore’s words, Zorff’s face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Just you wait!"

Theodore appeared unconcerned.

Zorff: "..."

"I’m going to go back and sort out the merchandise; I’m a bit busy, no time to chat, goodbye!" With that said, Theodore led his team straight inside.

Back in his territory, shopkeepers from various stores greeted him, each showing a bit of urgency.

Initially, it was these stores that started the trend for Hope Village’s goods, which made them unique, and they set the price high, leaving them a substantial profit margin.

Even so, it attracted countless shoppers like moths to a flame.

They were all waiting for Theodore’s return to make another fortune, but these past few days with Hope Village’s goods flying off the shelves, they wanted to use this trend to push out those small stands from the Lovisa City market. However, Marquis Zorff stood up for these small vendors, and they could only watch as Hope Village’s goods went from premium goods in people’s eyes to high-quality, affordable products.

They didn’t know what to do now.

Thinking this way, one after another talked about their store’s situation, then they all blamed Zorff for it.

"Before you, Marquis Theodore, could return to take over the businesses of Hope Village, Marquis Zorff wanted to take over in advance, but luckily he was stopped by the Marquis."

"After being stopped, Marquis Zorff started to support the small stands outside."

"With those small stands now, our stores’ reputation isn’t so good."

"People say we are greedy, selling such cheap goods at such high prices."

"..."

Theodore, hearing all this, couldn’t help but frown, "Have you tried explaining?"

Now, Hope Village’s goods were cheap because the journey had become more manageable. On their shipping route, they faced countless Demon Beasts, and members of the team who got injured required healing Potions, leading to significant losses along the way.

In such circumstances, how could it be lumped together!

"Of course, we’ve explained, but we can’t suppress the voices inside the territory. It must be Marquis Zorff meddling behind the scenes. Without you here, we are weak and powerless; our people sent out in secret all got caught."

Theodore scrunched his brow and said directly, "Then send out more people right away, I’ll take responsibility for any issues."

"Yes." The shopkeepers were overjoyed, exactly what they had been waiting to hear.

Theodore was back, and so was their confidence.

Immediately they took the goods from Theodore’s hands and busied themselves.

With their backbone returned, they needed to showcase their capabilities.

Lowering prices, hosting promotions... The stores under Theodore quickly stocked the goods from Hope Village and reopened at relatively favorable prices, and they also launched a public opinion offensive to explain the reasons for the price changes.

With the efforts of the individual stores, customers eventually returned to Theodore’s shops in Lovisa City.

After all, compared to the uncertain stands outside, the territory’s stores offered more stability and a better shopping environment.

In reality, after lowering their prices and because of the increased foot traffic, Theodore still made a considerable profit.

With bustling stands and stores, quite a few merchant teams from Lovisa City began heading out to Hope Village.

With so many village merchant teams benefiting from Hope Village, these larger territories couldn’t afford to miss out!

Putting other matters aside, the Lovisa City market still needed to be secured!

Royal Capital, San Sebastian City.

As the largest city in the Human Race Kingdom, it’s always been the fastest in information exchange.

The latest buzz in the Royal Capital had been overtaken by various new and intriguing products.

These novelties were not valuable, most being edible or drinkable items.

Initially brought back by a Medal Award Team that had visited Hope Village, Hope Village’s merchandise swiftly swept across the entire market upon their return.
