Chapter 165: Shady Business (2)

~Jack POV~

"Thank you for coming personally President Nights!"

"No worries."

Casually talking to the CEO of the Mistral Trading Company I was talking to him discussing the deal with our Capsules to transport empty and essential supplies in the Capsules as well as giving them instructions on how to use them.

I followed what 2B told me what to do by word and what answer I should give in business talks to the president of the MTC confirming our contracts of what we give out.

Discussing more promising lands for expanding our business outside of Menagerie I replied to the CEO of the MTC we would in the future expanding more branches to the Kingdoms in the future.

However, since were still fresh into the business and low on funds for the current time but our potential use of Capsules is widespread and soon becomes an essential item on the markets.

With the free and easy-to-use items we have made traveling items a lot easier and bandits' life harder by keeping the goods intact.

Also, the Knightmare Model Gloucester provides transport and protection from Bandits and fights off against Grimm in place with the YoRHa combat units at the ready.

Hence our business is really becoming a prospering one.

Big names like the MTC are already trying to create shared contracts of the promise of what to give along with what is written on the agreement he hands me, "Hmm… while I would like to sign right away, I think I would need to confirm this with 2B my assistant on this matter. After all, something like this isn't something to be taken lightly right?"

CEO of the MTC agreed to nod his head but I used my <Telepathy> to get what he wants from thinking lowly of me trying to put a trick clause in the contract because of my age underestimating me.

Frankly, at times like these, I'm glad to have 2B look over these kinds of deals as these are really tricky deals trying to get me to comply.

Sending a picture of it to 2B to look over while I gave the CEO of the MTC her contact number to get a deal from it with me already supporting whatever decision she makes.

Leaving the area soon enough of the MTC I took this time to take a stroll around the City of Mistral glancing around the whole area of the upper class of this place for the time being.

Seeing everything around I have to admit it has this nice Japanese style here but also how there are little to no Faunus in the upper area of Mistral only a few here and there.

Sigh…

Guess helping Blake's goal would be a lot harder than it looks.

Shaking my head at this it was time I start doing what I came here to do.

Get the Relic of Knowledge and abuse the shit out of it.

~Jacques POV~

Sigh…

Taking a sip from my alcohol cup I got the report from Team SMMK of their findings of that little upstart enemy Jack Nights the CEO of The Future Foundation.

Tch.

Team SMMK managed to give me some info regarding what happened at their little mission at Mt. Glenn managing to help out that rebellious daughter of mine Weiss in supporting her when she's in possession of the Schnee Dust Company.

Quite frankly that little bastard is an annoying thorn in my side.

Since the Future Foundation first began to start up I managed to hear quite good things from them and their support of helping those filthy animals on that sad excuse of an island.

Sadly though it seems like something that every business of Remnant seems to have gotten their foot shot at when The Future Foundation first supported their cause to happen to find an active Dust Mine in their Desert area of that island.

And to make matters worse some of the Dust mined from there is high quality near the base of the temple that was uncovered by the Faunus but not only that it also held some importance of past items as well as treasures.

When it became first news of such a thing hidden in the deserts of Menagerie the Council of Mistral, and Atlas were first to react to such a finding.

Of course, they tried to see if they could mine the area for themselves but sadly though they couldn't even when Atlas Military tried to levy them for the 'greater good', and unfortunately for James that wouldn't come.

When people started to talk about the deals of the items procured from Menagerie that animal-infested place it was that damn Future Foundation supporting claims in law and masterful maneuver by their puppet head 2B destroying any claims of any Kingdom had to take from the Faunus.

All because of the claims of what happened in the Great War that allows having the valuable items that the Faunus collected because it was something, we gave to them for the help of assisting during the Great War aftermath.

Tch.

Because of that dammed Vytal Peace Accord.

That bitch puppet and master from the Future Foundation used that old piece of history to call the Kingdoms of Remnant to essentially fuck off entirely of Faunus goods trying to ask for them to pay up.

Following the Great War, efforts were made for everyone worldwide to reach compromise, in the hopes that the Kingdoms would never go to war again. One of these efforts involved giving Faunus equal rights and ownership of Menagerie.

Some saw the gift of Menagerie as fair and just, while many others saw it as a slap in the face.

More like it's a big slap to all of us of Atlas seeing how they wasted a valuable resource and no way those Faunus would like to make deals with the oldest Dust shipping Company of the SDC with no way to control those animals.

But if any other competitor were to do business with it now would be a big issue for me.

And the Future Foundation is that issue already has claims to a small part of the mines while daring to provide Dust to any Kingdoms but also villages thanks to their support of those dammed androids and Knightmare frames the people who called them dealing with any Grimm and bandits dead.

Thanks to them they are making good names for being friendly towards Faunus workers that work for them so long as they aren't racist towards them.

That alone made some good points to the Faunus workers.

And to make matters worse those YoRHa combat units guarding their goods when I sent over assassins to destroy their good name or mercenary, easily bested them as if they were nothing.

LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!!

What kind of mind does that brat have to create such machines to fight against assassins and Huntsman like it was nothing?

From the reports, they fight as if they were built towards that purpose which doesn't make it any better and all of them fight with one fighting style that makes them deadly to even go up against.

But if there is a silver lining to all of this though it's the fact that brat Jack Nights is interested in Weiss something, I need to take advantage of from what Sil said overhearing their words talking to each other.

And what's worse is the fact that he will only fully support her if she's the next heiress to the SDC making matters worse when they told me he isn't at all the least fearful even when White Fang attacking his HQ in Menagerie, they were all dealt with accordingly.

Brutal and efficient but only to those who anger or go against him but won't react unless attacked.

That useless team couldn't know what happened when he fell down because when they tried, they all felt an unfathomable pressure coming out forcing those cowards to stay and look above only to hear the WF somehow wanted to make a hole into the Kingdom walls of Vale.

I could certainly use that as more fuel for making Faunus in a bad light with their stunt and if the Future Foundation continues to support them despite this it would reflect negatively of the people wanting their goods.

Sadly, that wouldn't work because of efficient those Capsules are to every part of Remnant and useful supplying villages and cities to them with ease along with the fact provided protection themselves to send.

I was hoping for Whitely to take over since a good pawn and figurehead for me to use but with this upstart company of the Future Foundation, I might need to change my goals.

Maybe I can get him poison when Weiss and him, are engaged forging a will to leave everything and such like I did to Willow's father. Such an easy woman to fool all for her family riches and her father was none the wiser for noticing but for now I have to deal with this issue.

I managed to get where I am by being sneaky and clever, I need to deal with him soon.

For now, I need to collect more info regarding –

*SPLAT*

Suddenly I felt something stab through my throat losing blood badly while I turn around to see no!

Soon that same annoyance looked around with everything turning black before I heard him speak out, "Whoa. Neo Semblance <Overactive Imagination> really is handy to hide. Took me some time to take care of you scum bag. Not even Willow cameras will notice everything was tampered with."

What?

I was getting more confused the second when the boy in front of me is killing me in cold blood as he spoke out coldly, "Oh no worries scum bag. I can't let you die just yet I need to create your death by accident. You are just going to need a few things in your head to force you to comply and make your death seem like an accident. Can't have this too soon."

You… you…!

Before I could do anything, I soon blacked out with him entering something in my head forcing my very will to his nefarious deeds!

Da –

*Thud*
