Sam didn't even see his friends for the next few days. But according to the shadow mice, they are not far. They are not together and they are taking some alone time and seemed to be reflecting on what Sam said.
He didn't meet them either. Since they are taking their time to really think without blindly and stubbornly rejecting the idea, he is good with it.
Sam is currently watching the everyday progress of the wine business in this second month.
The sales are increasing and after the first week in this second month, the other towns started approaching Sam for the wine supply and obviously, Sam didn't reject them. The other bars might not be increasing the taxes to Raunak but the tax Sam paid would be increased due to him earning more by selling to these bars.
Faction 2 is going more and more restless and by the end of the second week, they sent messages through people asking when he would be conducting the auction.
