~Huge Risk~

'Alright let's go down, she's waiting for you,' Luna said after about five minutes.

'No, I want to play with you,' Huno said, and the room became quiet.

A moment later, Luna held his nose and said, 'It's not good to keep your business partner waiting'. 'Fine, let's go,' Huno said and held her nose.

They got up and went down the stairs to the main hall. 'Sir Huno, madam,' Yu Chani greeted. 'Sir?' Huno asked. 'Madam said calling her senior places her over you and she doesn't like that,' Yu Chani replied.

'So you placed us equally? You are being too conscious and formal. Just call sister Luna,' Huno said. 'If senior sister permits it,' Yu Chani said. Huno couldn't help laughing. 'anything is fine, I will continue what I was doing,' Luna said and left immediately without waiting for a reply.

'Stop taking the title seriously. If not, I'll strictly treat you as a business partner. You are making her feel uncomfortable,' Huno said as soon as she was gone. 'I apologize, I didn't mean to,' Yu Chani said.

'I know you fear her, but she won't do anything if you did nothing wrong, so if you have a clean conscience, there's nothing to fear,' Huno said.

'Understood,' Yu Chani replied.

'I hope, please sit,' Huno said and sat down almost immediately before Kyra walked in and served tea.

'Brother Huno, yesterday's auction was a success but unfortunately we won't be able to auction in this city again,' Yu Chani said. Kyra left after serving the tea. 'I guess this is because of the great families,' Huno said. 'Yes, yesterday a high member of one of the great families was present and requested to know who auctioned the stones, fortunately our men realizing a great family member was present took the money and left immediately after the stones were auctioned, so if we want to auction again we can only go to the nearest big or medium-sized city,' Yu Chani explained.

'I see how far is the nearest city,' Huno asked. 'A big city back and forth is about two months journey away and medium-sized is about three weeks,' Yu Chani replied and continued, 'if we want to auction we'll have to make sure they are auction among the first and most big auction house may not agree,'.

'Ignore those who refuse it's their loss, not ours,' Huno said.

'Yes, the report is as followed, we planed on merging the ten into three groups but the auction house suggested merging them to two and raising the starting price to one hundred and fifty, the outcome was superb, one sold for three hundred and eight and the other for three hundred and fifteen, six hundred and twenty-three, the auction house took their percent, being the first deal and expecting to do more with us they have a fifty percent discount and charge only five percent, a big loss for them. Five percent, which amount to thirty-one, giving us a balance of five hundred and ninety-two thousand,' Yu Chani said. 'Two bad for them,' Huno said.

Yu Chani continued, 'yeah, thirty percent of that is one hundred and seventy-seven thousand, that leaves you a balance of four hundred and fifteen,'.

'That's lovely. Are you willing to do more like this two more times? After that we wrap it up to avoid being caught,' Huno said and took out a map.

'Of course,' Yu Chani smiled and said.

'Given the time a message should be sent back, we should pick two cities that's two months' journey away in two different directions, the great families may expect in the nearest cities we'll surprise them with the further one,' Huno said.

'You are really a business oriented person,' Yu Chani said.

'Thank you, since this is settled I'll give you four times the value of last time, if you will take the risk you can head in four different directions the choice is your family to make, deduct transportation cost from me,' Huno said.

'Absolutely not, brother brought food to my family. What is the little transportation cost?' Yu Chani said.

Huno looked at her and said nothing. He kept back the map.

'These are the five pairs of legendary realm artifacts you bought, all chosen to accord to Su Qing discretion,' she said and sent a ring to him. Huno nodded and placed it away so she continued, 'the array masters sent these blue print and the bill, according to them they can set the starlight array or the fallen angel array, the starlight array able to defend against a mid-rank legendary realm and also has an offensive that's equal to the low rank, it takes five months to set but if there are helpers of about fifty people of which our patriarch agreed to provide, it will take about a month with a cost of one hundred and fifty this include the ten percent you promised, while the falling angel array an ancient, it said that array is not from the Saint realm, it is also a defensive and offensive array able to block and attack a mid rank, this array is centered on four pillars as long as these four pillars are not damaged the array formation can be activated again no matter how many times as long as there is enough energy,' Yu Chani said.

'Interesting, tell me more about this,' Huno said.

'Yes, the four pillars draw energy from the environment to power it, the array has four shield layer each can take the full attack of two mid rank continuously for a day, it will take two mid rank four days to break, while a high rank will break it in less than two,'.

'Meaning it can stop a high rank for a day,' Huno said and added, 'really interesting,'.

'Yes, for offensive, as long as a shield layer is there it can send a lightning strike comparable to an average mid rank attack at an interval of Ten minutes, as the number of shield layer drop the interval increases, I asked what happens if there is a continuous flow of energy, I was told the shield after being broken can activate in two minutes, meaning if the first shield layer is broken and there's a great amount of energy in two minutes you can bring the shield back and anyone caught in between will be like meat in a sandwich, the person will be pressed and their movements will slow down making it easy to attack, another good thing about the array is the higher the set the higher the level it can block,' Yu Chani said.

'How much is a set?'.

'A set cost three hundred and ninety thousand,'

'How long does it take for a set be completed?'

'With that same amount of helpers, it takes about three months,'

'Can your family triple the helpers and raise that amount?' Huno asked.

'My family wants me to let you know we have raised the amount already just in case you decide that, concerning the workers, I'll have to get back to you,' Yu Chani said.

'I owe your family big time, it must have affected your business to do that, tell your patriarch I will pay back in full what I owe and with interest, concerning the auction we will increase it, instead of four, I'll give ten, head in ten different directions big or medium-sized cities, this a big show to the great families, it's going to be grand, so we have to pick cities that have auctions around the same time, we'll do it all in one make sure we leave no trail behind or it's going to be big trouble, for the risk and what I owe your family will take forty-five percent, and for making sure I don't get involved if everything goes south I'll add five percent,' Huno said. 'Please think it through. The risk is greater,' he added.

'Yes, the risk is huge, but that's because we are going in ten directions, if we compress to three or two and send them to the furthest big city, the risk will drop by a lot, while the greatest families are focusing on around we will hit their blind spot hard and fast, we make sure it's the first auction and once it's done we move immediately, the only problem is this requires a long time of about nine to twelve month,' Yu Chani said.

'What if we cause a distraction? While we send those two or three to big cities two months away, a month later we send people to the cities a month away with a little amount they will give the auction houses the small amount telling them to publicize the auction that on the day of the auction more will be delivered but in the end we abandon that amount,' Huno suggested and Yu Chani eyes widen. 'Don't worry, I'll provide both the bait and the main dish,' Huno said.

'Alright, I'll go plan everything. Once it's ready, I'll come back to get the goods to move,' Yu Chani said.

'Good, also ask the time it will take for two set with twice or thrice the workers,' Huno said.

'I will, I will go now,' Yu Chani stood up and then turned back and looked at him. 'What's wrong?' Huno asked.

'I'm seeing your face for the first time,' Yu Chani replied, and turned to leave.

'Oh,' Huno voiced as she left. He stood and went back to cultivate.
