Chapter 102

"I am happy to hear that you are committed to the future of the Golden Finger Merchant Group. In the future if you are willing, I would like you to be responsible for your own branch one day. We are still a while off of even thinking about making a proper branch, but as long as you follow me and as long as I am still alive, you could rest assured that I will not not stop until you have your own branch that you are responsible for running."

"While I am gone, I also want you to do one other thing. Here are ten thousand gold pieces. If you see potential in some of the village guards, I want you to try to recruit them immediately. We will have a need for many experts in the future, and if we can keep things close to the chest as we continue recruiting, it will make it easier for our merchant company to expand in a shorter period of time. We will discuss many other issues that may come up once I return, but I do plan on leaving immediately. Here is roughly six months worth of food and liquid as well. I know that nothing is too high quality, but if the guards see that you all are also eating better, it may sway them into joining as employees which is ideal."

After disclosing his plans to Cole and passing him over everything that he may need while he was gone, Timothy began his journey and exited Fog Village. Not a single person chose to stop him, because he was considered to have a very high position now within the village and it seemed that if they wanted to speak to him, that they would have to speak to Cole first. This was also what Timothy had his employees spread around since he would rather leave such things to Cole in order to act as a warmup of sorts.

Timothy did not need to stop due to him having both energy and his battle Qi in his body at full capacity, so making it back to Tornado City did not take very long. Finally as he reached the city entrance, he flashed his verification badge and was let in ahead of everyone else. His first stop would be the coliseum because he needed to sell as many items he had on him as well as the technique and training manual scrolls. Not just that, but only the coliseum would be able to purchase these things even if it would cost them five million gold pieces.

The reason that they were able to handle such big purchases in the first place, was because the coliseum's total profit was roughly one million gold pieces every day. This was also why they were able to make such a big offer to Timothy concerning the items and demon beast corpses he sold to them previously the last time he was here. He showed the first attendant he came across his bronze badge that made him a VIP type individual and told her that he needed to see a manager to handle some selling business.

The female attendant quickly showed Timothy to a rather private and spacious room as she called for someone else to bring him a nice meal as he waited for a manager type figure to make their way over. Since he had a bronze badge, it could be said that Timothy had quite a number of items to sell the coliseum so even if she wanted to, she would not necessarily be able to handle such a thing. It would have been slightly different if he did not have the bronze badge, but either way the attendant would be given a bonus for simply serving him.

Timothy sat on a small couch in the room and felt like he was able to finally relax a bit. Not only did he not have to pay for the room he was in, but he would also be fed three meals per day and had access to viewing all of the tournaments so long as he stayed here in the coliseum. About ten minutes after his food arrived, a knock sounded from the door before an older looking man walked through the door and closed it from behind him. This man gave Timothy a similar impression as Michael once did the first time they met, so Timothy was sure to be respectful.

"The last time you were here, you sold us quite a few demon beast corpses as well as a bunch of low tier items. Thanks to your help delivering the demon beast corpses, our alchemists and blacksmiths were very excited and have been able to make quite a few good items that many of the top experts who would compete here chose to compete for. Due to this, our coliseum was able to make quite a large sum of wealth. So for that I thank you, but I have been told you have more things to sell to our coliseum?" the old man asked Timothy before continuing.

"First, before you respond let me tell you that due to the profits we obtained through our last negotiations, you automatically will be given a silver badge. Only true VIP members ever reach such a badge type and it is only second to the gold badge which is saved for the royal family of our Stone Kingdom as well as every royal family of each kingdom of our human race. So, shall we begin the negotiation process? I have been given permission by The Circle to handle this personally and I have their backing in whatever we do from here on out." the old man finished before handing Timothy a silver badge.

"Thank you senior, unfortunately I do not have any more demon beast corpses to sell to your coliseum this time, but rather I have roughly two hundred technique scrolls and one hundred twenty five training manual scrolls to sell instead. They are all at the minimum all at least of the mid tier level. I hope that we are able to do business." Timothy replied in a respectful tone before handing over a storage ring. The expression on the older man's face brightened with shock as if Timothy was somehow able to come across an ancient clan's library that held so many scrolls of this type!
