Chapter 273 – So sales have decreased?

"Okay, so let's go to his mansion, first I need to hide." Entering an alley and moving away from the main street, Larissa activated her invisibility magic and disappeared.

Then, activating her flight magic, she began flying over the city and reached the mansion where Ingutth lived.

Once there, she noticed that the structure of the mansion was smaller, as well as the entire structure of the city which was very small compared to the capital. She was even a bit smaller than Grenrok.

"Right, there aren't many guards, so I won't have much trouble. I could do it easily anyway."

Larissa flew to the second-floor window of the mansion that was open and went inside.

As soon as she entered, she found a large room with a bed, a dressing table full of makeup and perfumes, and also some things that looked quite expensive.

'Looks like I walked right into the main bedroom of the mansion.' Larissa walked around as she rummaged through something about the drugs. But of course, there would be nothing like that in the room, so she decided to leave.

Opening the door slowly, she found a small hallway, and just ahead was another room.

Opening the door, she found another room, but this time it had a single bed and some dolls and children's things.

'Surely it's his daughter's room or something.' Larissa closed the door after that.

She started to walk around the mansion and found nothing but a few maids and guards. She couldn't find Ingutth, her daughter, or his wife.

'Or I think he has a daughter...'

Larissa went downstairs and reached the living room.

There a maid was cleaning the floor looking quite tired. She was kneeling on the floor and cleaning with her hands.

'It seems to be hard to work as a maid here. The mansion is giant and the number of maids is quite low.'

Haaaa~~

Letting out a small sigh as she descended the last step, Larissa caught the maid's attention.

The maid looked up the stairs in fright, causing Larissa to stop walking.

Seeing the maid looking at her, Larissa waved, but the maid ignored her and went back to cleaning the floor.

'I thought she was seeing me... Okay, what do I do now? I haven't found a library where documents about the drug could be, I haven't found Ingutth's room either, and I haven't found any labs where they could be manufacturing a drug either...'

Crrrrr~~~

As Larissa walked through the room, she heard the front door creak.

Next, a smartly dressed man entered the mansion wearing a handsome white suit and a red butterfly tie.

The man had pale skin, was quite thin, had a large mustache below his nose, and also wore a top hat probably to hide his baldness.

Larissa looked at him for a while without reaction.

Until she finally realized who that was. And the first thing that came into her mind was.

'WHAT ARE THESE CLOTHES?' She shouted in her mind.

The man who had entered along with the guard of the mansion was followed by Larissa until they reached the second floor.

Then walking through the corridors of the mansion, they came to a room with a rather beautiful and eye-catching black door.

'I didn't come here before, did I? I would certainly remember..'

After the door was opened, Larissa also entered the room before the guard closed the door.

"Okay, stay outside, I have some things to take care of. Also, ask that idiot to come over here, I have to have a talk with him about our production and storage."

"Yes, sir."

After the guard left the room, the corners of Larissa's lips lifted.

'Looks like I'm in the right place and everything will be resolved faster than I thought. That schema will go down in the next few minutes.'

####

After less than 20 minutes had passed, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." After Ingutth allowed entry, the door opened and an unknown man entered the room.

He wore a casual outfit. A basic shirt, long pants, and basic leather shoes.

The man was a bit sweaty.

After entering, the man bowed his head and then stood in front of Ingutth's desk. Speaking of his desk, it was the only thing inside the room besides a bookcase just behind him.

"First start by talking about our storage, is it enough to supply the recent orders?"

"Yes, certainly. We are manufacturing about 30 vials a day, that's more than we need."

The man quickly replied.

"I see... Have more customers sought us out? It seems that sales are dropping."

"Unfortunately no, it seems that many of our customers are stopping buying the drug and I don't know why."

"That's bad... Can't you make one more propaganda to spread the drug among the nobles? But of course, without letting the other high-ranking nobles know."

"Sure, I'll do that. But about the lack of customers, maybe it's because of the school closing. The kids are on vacation."

"Maybe, but there's no way to be sure."

"..."

"Okay, get back to work, I need to do some accounting work. And keep me posted on the preparation and sorting of the batches."

"Yes, sir. Excuse me."

After bowing, the fat man left the room visibly nervous and altered.

"I see, so the sales of the drugs have decreased. I hope you are not experiencing financial problems, Mr. Duke."

And as soon as he left the room, Larissa made her appearance keeping an innocent smile on her face.
