A Decision

Alex and Wang Yanwei walked out of the Moonlight Alchemy store.

"What did you do in there?" she asked.

"A trade to hopefully not lose our suppliers," Alex said.

"What sort of trade?" 

Alex smiled. "There was a reason I sent you out. You'll know about this one day, but that day is not today."

Yanwei frowned but didn't argue. "There is still a chance that we will lose them then," she said.

"Yes, my plan wasn't foolproof."

"What if we lose them?"

Alex shrugged. "Then we go searching for another one."

Yanwei grunted in some level of anger. "This is what happened to me as well. I go from one store to another to another, and soon everyone stops working with me. It took me less than 10 years to run out of stores to help me."

"I barely survived thanks to the guild sending me ingredients. We might have to start doing that soon too," she said.

"Will that work?" Alex asked.
