The Deal

Entering the office of the district head with James walking in front of Jasmine and holding the door open for her to enter. Sitting on the chair across the table covered in piles of paper work was a short built man with short black hair and a pair of sharp dark brown eyes. He looked up as he heard the door open and pushed back his glasses to get a better look, you could see the confusion on his face from seeing people with masks. He stood up and proceeded to tell them to leave the room.

"I'm sorry but you are not allowed in here and I don't know how you got past our guard. So, leave now and you won't have any trouble." said while reaching for the communication crystal kept on his desk, communication crystals are very expensive communication tools which work very much like a cellphone but only for calls, video calls and storing data and only the aristocrats could afford them.

James lifted up his arm and a dagger flew out of his sleeve and hitting the table right between Mr. Silva's hand and the crystal. Robert sensing the danger near him releases his power and they could see the three crystals hovering above his head representing his 3rd level and the third crystal was full showing his advanced level, releasing crystals not only show your level but also his mana's flowing efficiency.

Jasmine raised her hand holding the letter that he had sent " We are here just for cooperation."

Moving towards the table, James pulls out the chair for her and remains standing besides her. Mr. Silva comes to his senses and pulls out his chair to sit down " So, I am assuming you are the head of the Bloody Rose organizations. And have come her for our cooperation."

"Yes, your assumption is correct and we are here for the cooperation, we would like you to keep all of this a secret."

"I've tested your potion, it works and its quite well brewed just a little mistake but we will take care of that. So how much for the recipe." leaning forward and gazing into Jasmine's eyes across the table to see what was it that she was afraid to show.

" Ha... Mr. Silva, I didn't know you knew how to joke I always presumed you as one of the stern types. We won't be giving you our recipe we want a cut in the profit. Or is it that you don't want to."

" Miss we can offer you up to 100 gold you can't be excepting more than that. And without us you won't be able to even sell it. And about the herbs you listed, which are usually cheap but have recently became unavailable." with his eyes saying I know you are the ones who took it.

"Fifty percent of the profit and you'll have to buy the lightening grass differently. Then you can have the recipe and Mr. Silva I am sure you know how to cherish a business client or a potential business client." Getting up from her chair and leaving the room with a smug smile on her face.

" Fine you have the fifty percent and also I'll buy the grass for 10 bronze for each stack. But I want assurance that you can bring us more potions. The Magic administration isn't that happy with us."

"Deal" walking out of the door.

Back at the tea house, walking in the nursery and seeing the stacks of lightening grass " We bought it at 5 bronze each right? James agreeing with a nod.

" Good, send them in tomorrow. I'll be busy for a few day as the university entrance test is coming up. So, James you'll have to handle the affairs here and you can also recruit anyone that you find is trust worthy but no one less than 2nd intermediate and make sure they are trust worthy I don't wanna hurt anyone but I can't risk it."

The next day the official letter from the Alchemy department came stating the condition for a smooth cooperation. Her income had already started to roll in as the potion had hit the street and was being highly promoted by the Alchemy department and the credit for making this amazing remedy was given to Mr. Robert Silva, he had offered Jasmine or the Bloody Rose from his point of view to make her a senior and let her take the credit but she declined. He was even honored by the king himself as the Third prince has been suffering from mana overload since an early age but was hanging on cause of the holy items provided by the church, that's why the church had exceptional power over the other department.

" I don't know what's gotten into her she is more clam and silent now a days. Do you think this is a good change? " Jasmine's mother taking with her husband, him caressing her hair while sitting on the bed and with her lying in his lap.

" I don't know but the change seems to sudden, do you think something happened that she isn't telling us. We know she does get bullied by the upper society children."

" And she hasn't been to any of the social events too after that day she fainted in her room."

" Normally she would go to any event she was invited. Does it seem like she is avoiding something."

" I don't know we'll have to ask her tomorrow."
