Chapter 49: Buying Fabric

Perseus POV

I didn't actually go to dismantle the group, I just got to the black market and hired some guys to escort the guy back with packages of 'gifts', if I did go to dismantle the group, I'll be proving myself guilty, but by sending the 'gifts', it would just means that they shouldn't mess with the lord of the blue rose.

I send them bombs, yep, they won't die since they got magic, but will definitely do a good deal to their base.

Anyway, I used my connections as a businessman back in the western continent in order to know the location of the black market since I plan to buy and sell things, of course, I placed a disguise on myself of course.

Ruka and Leilah(mostly Leilah since she was faster and did it while we were interrogating the guy) sorted through the items and there are equipments that we can melt and reforged into things we need and get it in the same high quality while some are just irrelevant so we're here to sell it, Sheela's family is surely here.

They will check for suspects by investigating the black market where anyone can sell anything, illegal and stolen goods which happened to include some of theirs. So I disguised myself as Sheela and wrapped myself in a hood, so that it'll be more convincing. She'll come off as the suspect instead due to her greedy nature and is now trying to hide herself.

I came alone and pawned all of them off before going into some alley way and disappear once I sense people following me, I turned invisible and let them run past me and run to other alleyways and reemerge as a random person disguise.

I then go around looking for textiles and fabrics, in this world, enchanted textiles are expensive. Armor and equipments are tiered the same way a mage does, the star system. But the difference between a 5 star armor and a 5 star robe is that a robe is more expensive and despite being a thin layer of fabric, this world fabric are tough can can withstand a sword or bullets.

So you would want to buy expensive enchanted fabrics since they are much lighter and heck, you can even put an armor over it, though it's hard to find them through legal channels, enchanters exists less than 30 in the world apparently, meaning certain monopolies and buying through the black market without it being cut into a fitted shirt or something is cheaper.

It took me a while but I finally come across a roll of a 4 star fabric being sold by a kid? Or a really short guy.

"100 million." they demanded once they say I check it out

"The whole thing?"

"White is the most expensive and you can get a lot with one roll, you can dye it and it will not ruin the texture."

"50."

"80"

"Alright, I'm going to that woman 2 blocks that way, she's cheaper and got more customers, meaning more credibility and a more standard pricing."

I just don't like long lines. I'd rather take a 20 min walk to an average restaurant with no lines rather than wait 20 just to get into my favorite restaurant, yes, I'm weird.

"Don't you dare, good sir." he grabbed my arm and pulled me back

He fell for it...with monopolies, you have lesser sellers, and so it would mean rivalry, I was just trying to trick him and it seems to have worked.

"I know there isn't a lot of laws here, but me coming here alone is a sign that I can defend myself, don't make me punch you, there are rules against beating customers."

"40 million and you can have my name card that will tell you where I'll be year round." he quickly replied "I travel through the 4 continents and I can tell by your confidence that you have a lot of money, just please don't support my teacher's rival's bitch."

"Deal. Why is she more famous than you?"

"Her master is more well known due to her previous famous partners during her younger days but I can assure you that our quality is the same despite the lack of fame...and customers, you're my first customer in 2 weeks."

"Is your master also an attractive woman?"

"No, an old man whose name shall never be revealed, let me pack this up for you." he replied as I handed him the money.

Damn. I was hoping to monopolize a beautiful woman who'll make me expensive stuff like that but as I asked further, it seems that these enchanters or whatever they call themselves are all mostly super old.

Anyway, his name is Zach Reefer...well, yeah(Search what Reefer means)…Zach Reefer. Short guy apparently in his 20s, about 149cm tall, has black hair and green eyes. He looks a bit feminine though with his super smooth skin.

He would get along with Rowan.

"Bye, you're selling at the Western continent next, right? Do you do requests? I want a 5 stars roll, white."

"I'll be waiting for you." That was his reply, which was assuring.

On his name card got his locations, like what continent's main black market will he be at and the stall number, well it seems like I got a guy to supply me some good quality things. Finding a person to process the cloth into what I want should be easy.

I'll leave here for now, I'll come back to meet that saint guy and go back to the moon later, I've got what I've wanted and I've been away from home for too long.

*****

After several days, we made our way to the teleportation array and teleported to the western continent where we then journeyed back to the tree of Paradis. It was already nightfall by the time we got home, so we were at least quick enough for dinner.

"Alright, I'll make extra since you arrived today, I hope you didn't trouble Ruka...or made anyone cry...or traumatize children and turned them into pessimists." mom Nyra seriously wants me to die from the inside, doesn't she?

Believe in me for once, I'm not that bad of a guy, you've already called me vain.

"Welcome to our, well I would say humble abode, but we're well off now, I'm Rylee, and this is my lovely wife, Nyra." Mom Rylee introduced herself

"I'm Leilah, nice to meet you." Leilah introduced herself
