Connections

After i returned home, I thought maybe having some connections maybe useful. With the thought I decide to use start with a business. Its about potions, and medical accessories, the plan i had recently but i had no way of acting on it , but with great sage i could make it possible but still it would be quite a waste for me to just start making such things myself . Then i remember that there was an quite a skilled doctor named Gustav who had retired early from creating potions cause he lacked proper .So, i searched for his family and went to his door to knock.

Gustav> Umm? and who are you?

Me> wont you let me in, i want to talk you about business

Gustav let me in.

Me> Haven't you heard of me? I am the son of the flame hero who lives in this area.

Gustav> Oh, so you're rich kid of that guy..So, what does the flame hero want from me?

Me> Its not father but i want from you. I heard you left creating potions quite early due to lacking investment , how about you work for me ,I'll sponsor your project and you can even hire potential talented people to help you.

Gustav> You are treating medical part like a business . I won't work with some kid who just wants to earn money.

Me> Oh, what if i gave you a potion you haven't seen ?

Gustav doesn't believe me and i saw him a full potion that i created with the help of great sage. Then he agrees to work for me.

I then make Gustav chief head of a medical store i created. With Gustav's talent for potions, medicines and me helping him from time to time . The business started selling hugely in just a week. 

Meanwhile

*Notice: Master has awakened into a greater demon

So, succesful evolution into a greater demon .I think i might even evolve into a archdemon sooner .

As, I return to workshop of Gustav and talk to him, seeing him enjoy his work with huis subbordinates

Gustav> Hey reed, try some of these potions which will increase your mana.

Me> That won't work for me , I have evolved into a Greater demon.

Gustav spits the tea he was drinking

Gustav: You what? Greater demons are legendary beings who are at least around 100 years . even the demoninc human who evolved into a greater demon was in his 50's so how?

Me> I am just built better, anyway i came to tell you that i might be investing more in the shop to expand it into a company.So, you should probably hire more people .

He agrees and i leave.

The territory of Assriya was quite a large area, which was one of the few areas which wasn't officially ruled by any nation or demon lords. My Reed family does have influence but its not that great cause father is busy doing his hero duties . The territory usually contains many families which are either humanoid monsters, or hybrid like the oni , and a forest in which elves live. First i go the place of the oni head benimaru . 

I knew him personally but now he doesn't treat me like a child now that my potions and other things are on the rise .

Benimaru: So, what brings the son of the flame hero and the rising medical merchant reed to my place.

Me: I would like to form a partnership with you're family.

Benimaru: what kind of partnership?

Me: I know you're family has quite a good culture including clothing that is quite good. I want you to join partnership with me so i could help you promote and start a new business to promote such things with me to other territories and nations.

Benimaru was shocked by my such a huge deal that i point to him , he knew that i wasn't an kid which childish dreams but he had to think before extending his culture to such a large scale and trusting someone.

Benimaru: can you give me time to think about it.

Me: Ofcourse, there is no rush by the way where is you're sister shuna

Benimaru : Oh she is sick so she couldn't attend this meeting.

Me: Sick? didn't any of my products worked on her.

Benimaru: It's not traditional sickness that can be treated with potions, it's a rare condition for our race.

*Notice: If it's a rare case for oni , it might be due to her magic core and body not maintaining balance, it is a rare disease which takes life of many oni with powerful body and potential but a weak heart.

>But do you have a way to cure it.

*Answer: with masters predator , it if possible to pour heart with youre magic and making it stronger making the condition be cured .

I was slightly amazed that it was easy to cure such a serious condition.

Benimaru sees me lost in thought and ask me if there is a problem.

Me> oh nothing i was just wondering if the condition you're sister has it the imbalance of core with her heart.

Benimaru> How did you know?...Yeah it's the same condition.

Me> Then i might be able to cure her.

Benimaru in an shocking voice raised his voice thinking that i was making fun of his sister but then realises the miracle i achieved with the medical potions .So, it might be possible.

Benimaru > I apolozise for raising my voice,If you really can cure my sister . I will be under you're debt , no i will be there for you and serve you as long as i can.

I was kinda confused by his declaration but i told him to take me to his sister.

I saw an oni doctor sitting near her and checking her pulse.

?> who is the boy sir benimaru

bemimaru> He is the mastermind behind the magic potion's rise in the area

?>Oh he is that person.My apologies for calling you a kid , Sir.

benimaru> He said he could cure her.

?>Oh really, i sincerely hope you can.

Then i used the predator with great sage to take excessive mana from her core and merge with her heart curing her.

Benimaru thanked me and pledged his loyalty to me, which did seemed quite wierd.

Since he was already a business partner and pledged to work for me , i told him that i plan on creating a large international trade center in this region under me.

I slowly and slowly helped and started getting support from the families in the area and before the official establishment of my trade center. There occured a pandemic in the area . But i took care of it with help of great sage and Gustav. 

Then after the establishment of the trade center , all of the families started interacting with each other. I could tell that i had gotten quite famous and started having huge influence.
