33 Grand Army II

20 days ago Admiral Ford comes to the Grand Trading Corp. office in person together with Lisa to renegotiate with them, of course, Arc meets them in person. They negotiate back and forth, and in the end, after almost 4 hours of negotiations, they agreed on three terms.

1: Grand Trading Corp. will provide 1 million military-grade solutions and 100k military+ grade solutions, every 10 days to the HFA supply office.

Arc simply names the military solutions as SS and SSS grade because according to him, it's easy to understand and because he also plans to release it to the public

2: the price must be 20% less than the market price, and they have priority over the solutions in case they needed more, of course, any additional above the agreed number must be paid at the market price

3: the contract will last until the war is over or the defeat of HFA or HFA can no longer wage war.

In return, HFA will provide 5 kilometers of prime land in Liberty. Meaning, it's near the center of liberty itself.

5 kilometers may sound huge, but Liberty is almost twice the size of Earth, and it continues to expand

HFA owns hundreds of thousands of kilometers of prime land in Liberty as they are one of the founders of Liberty, even so, giving 5 kilometers pains them so.

In fact, Arc originally wants 10 km of prime land but eventually settled on five, he was not afraid to negotiate as he knows he holds all the cards.

HFA will also provide 100 tons of space beast meat every 10 days at 50% of the market price. Actually, this is not much to HFA as they don't have any use of Space beast meat except as fertilizer because according to the study, space beast meat can make an excellent fertilizer because its meat is packed with energy.

And HFA over the last hundreds of years was able to accumulate an uncountable number of space beast meat. Actually, every part of space beast is expensive except its meat, and if there's one thing a space beast has plenty of, it's meat... so they are more than happy to sell it to Grand Trading Corp. even at 50% market price since there's almost no market in it in Space.

And lastly, HFA will pay for the solutions in BGC, not in any earth currency. BGC stands for Bright Galaxy Credits because according to the aliens, our Galaxy is named Bright if translated into human language. BGC was a lower currency in the known universe, it was managed by one of the oldest races called Overseer, at least that's the closest word we have to translation, others call them guardian race as it guards the biggest and the oldest bank in the known universe.

But HFA called them Overseer, not much is known about the said alien race, only that they protect and manage the oldest bank in the known universe.

According to information humanity has gathered, the known universe has a single universally used currency, it's called Chaos stone. It was then converted into digital currency by the overseer, and they called it Chaos Stone Credit, in other words, 1 credit is equivalent to 1 chaos stone, of course, there are lower rank credits such us Bright Galaxy Credit, 1 BGC is equivalent to 1 bright stone and 100 bright stone is equivalent of 1 chaos stone or CSC and the overseer manages the exchange in credit to a physical one or vise versa…

And the HFA uses BGC as currency to trade with other alien species, the price of materials and exchange rate are all regulated by the overseer. That's why since the founding of Liberty the humans and all alien species who want to trade and be part of Liberty have been requesting the first bank to open a branch in Liberty and only 80 years ago this wish was granted.

And that propelled Liberty as a number one Trading hub within a million light-years, almost every friendly alien who step into space used Liberty as a Trading hub, and that turned the land of liberty, especially near the bank which is called prime land extremely expensive and HFA would not have agreed to give 5 kilometers of land to Arc if there's another way.

But the current war was too important for them, so they reluctantly agreed, of course, that's only if the Grand Trading Corp. can manage to deliver, if not they can forget about the prime land they wouldn't even be allowed to step into Liberty if HFA didn't allow them to go space since HFA own the only space elevator on earth. Of course, they didn't know that even without their help Grand Trading Corp. is more than capable of going there, it was only a matter of time.

According to the contract, Grand Trading Corp. has 100 days to develop SS and SSS grade solutions.

To receive the promised land in the Liberty, they have to deliver the solutions within 100 days, that's a very short time to develop a product that if they failed to do. And if Grand Trading Corp. failed to deliver, they have to pay a million S grade rank solutions to HFA as compensation. For the space beast meat, it's a very unfair deal, since the space beast meat was purchased by Grand Trading Corp.

But the HFA insists they are on a losing side since the space beast meat should be paid in BGC and not UGC, Arc didn't bother to argue about it. Since he knows he won't fail.

HFA must transfer the land within 24hrs upon receiving the 1st batch of solutions, failure to do so will entitle Arc to 10 km instead of 5, of course, the contract was signed and sealed by the first bank, the same with the title transfer documents, they must be notarized by the first bank to make the documents legal in space.

Otherwise, HFA can take the land back anytime they want. Only if it's sealed by the first bank will the documents be official. No one has the guts to break the first bank seal, not even HFA has the guts to do it...

Of course, anytime Arc can make an SS and SSS grade solutions, but he decided to wait for at least 45 days before he reveals it to HFA...

Eve discovered that space beast meat makes excellent beauty products, and health drinks, he also plans to make a health potion from space beast meat. According to Eve, space beast meat is an exceptional material for any health product. And to think HFA is using it for fertilizer. But that would have to wait until they are in Liberty, as it would be a waste to release it on Earth.

For now, Arc's plans to make money have turned to make Earth his personal factory. His plan is to place most of his factories on earth, turning earth into his manufacturing planet. But in order to do that he needs to completely control Earth, and in order to do so he needs an army and not just any army he needs a powerful army, he was not worried about the power in space since he knows they can't do anything in the open.

HFA and all human superpowers in space can't interfere with the issue on earth unless Earth did something illegal that affects them, otherwise, even if a war is started on earth they cannot interfere, that's part of the armistice they sign during the space exploration era. Otherwise, every human superpower in space will want a piece of Earth, of course, that doesn't stop them from influencing earth in the shadows.

Many powers on earth had a connection to a human superpower in space. Hunter association is an example according to Eve, hunter association has a human superpower from space backing them.

After Arc took a shower, he went to the kitchen and asked Jarvis to prepare food for him, all that training has made him hungry...
