278- Jaraal's warning and Red VIP card

[On the third day, since Orochi met with Chand Roj]

.

A servant from the Golden Chamber of Commerce arrived at the entrance of Orochi’s house and was waiting for Orochi to appear.

Soon, Orochi appeared to meet the servant. He asked,

“I am Orochi. What is it?”

The servant replied,

“Sir, I was asked by Mr. Chand of our Golden Chamber of Commerce to bring you to see him.”

Orochi nodded and followed the servant back to the Golden Chamber of Commerce’s building.

After reaching, Orochi was once again led to a VIP waiting room and two people were already sitting inside the room and waiting for his appearance.

Between the two people, one was Chand Roj and the other was a young man who was about the same age as Orochi.

There is nothing to talk about when it comes to the aesthetics of humans in this world because it's an anime world, so ignore it.

The young man was dressed in blue robes, with short hair and a fair complexion. His build can be described in one simple word- Scrawny.

But there was a faint arrogance in his eyes and a trace of impatience on his face.

It looked like the young man was someone with a big background.

But the surprising fact was that the young man was someone who had reached the Super-Human Stage cultivation, same as Chand Roj’s level.

This somewhat startled Orochi, but soon his mood returned to normal. Because right now he has quite a confidence to face such as existence with his strength and magic attacks.

Seeing Orochi arrive, Chand Roj hurriedly greeted him and introduced the young man to Orochi,

“Mr. Orochi, this is Mr. Jaraal, who is sent by the client who issued the mission regarding ‘Stalactite Milk’, to verify the bottle of Stalactite milk and exchange equivalent money for it.”

“Mr. Jaraal this is Mr. Orochi, who has ‘Stalactite Milk’ with him.”

Just like how Orochi examined the young man- Jaraal, after entering the room; similarly, Jaraal was also observing Orochi.

So, when he felt Demi-Human stage fluctuations from Orochi, his gaze turned into contempt, and did not even bother to nod when Chand Roj introduced him to Orochi.

And as soon as Chand Roj finished speaking, he spoke in an arrogant tone,

“You are the one with Stalactite milk? Show me the bottle and let me verify it quickly. I don’t have all day.”

Orochi noticed Jaraal’s gaze which was filled with contempt but he chose to ignore it and simply took out the bottle containing Stalactite milk and placed it in front of Jaraal.

After examining it, Jaraal properly measured the quality and quantity of Stalactite milk and gave a small nod.

“Yes, this is properly stored and there are exactly 1000 drops of Stalactite milk in this bottle. There is no problem with it.”

He sealed the bottle of Stalactite milk and continued,

“As promised, the price for 1000 drops of stalactite milk is 1.5 billion gold coins.”

Although Jaraal said that, he did not take out any money or anything, instead he looked at Orochi and spoke,

“Orochi, was it? Give me the rest of Stalactite milk on you, I will pay the corresponding price for it.”

His tone was full of authority and overbearingness. He was speaking to Orochi as if he was ordering him to take out the remaining Stalactite milk, instead of requesting him.

Hearing this, Orochi shook his head and answered,

“Sorry, I only got little Stalactite milk with me. And I am already giving you the biggest portion of it. And the remaining one is left for my cultivation. So, I cannot give you.”

Orochi’s tone was plain, he neither sounded friendly nor scared. He straightaway rejected Jaraal’s words.

Hearing Orochi’s answer, Jaraal frowned and his voice turned slightly cold as he spoke,

“Who are you trying to fool? Any knowledgeable person knows that if in a place where the Stalactite milk is formed, then the quantity will surely exceed a dozen bottles. And you only gave me 1 bottle, so don’t bullsh!t with me.”

“Not to mention, you are just a peak Demi-Human stage cultivator, it is simply a waste for someone like you to use Stalactite milk for cultivation. So, it would be better to sell me the remaining Stalactite milk.”

Even after hearing this, Orochi’s answer did not change and he still rejected Jaraal.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting foul, Chand Roj hurriedly intervened and tried to calm both of them.

Listening to Chand Roj’s persuasion, Jaraal finally calmed slightly as he spoke.

“Look, my teacher requires a huge amount of Stalactite milk. Even though it was mentioned in the mission that a minimum of 200 drops was required but my teacher still needs much more than that.”

“So, it would be better for you to sell me the remaining Stalactite milk and you can also get my friendship and also build a relationship with my teacher.”

“You can ask Mr. Chand who my teacher is and what identity he has, so you will know how advantageous it is for you.”

Chand Roj also spoke at this, but his voice was filled with some helplessness,

“Yes, Mr. Orochi. If you could sell the remaining Stalactite milk to Mr. Jaraal, then you won’t regret your decision because Mr. Jaraal’s teacher is a famous Pill Guru in the Saurastra Kingdom. And many Royalty realm experts come to his teacher to ask for refining pills.”

“So, if you could get a favor or build a relationship with Mr. Jaraal and his teacher, then you will not regret it.”

Hearing this, Orochi’s eyes shrank slightly with shock but he still refused.

“Sorry, but I still need Stalactite Milk for personal use. So, please pay for the 1000 drops of Stalactite milk.”

Seeing that, Orochi still refused to take out the remaining Stalactite milk, Jaraal’s face turned gloomy.

And Chand Roj also felt some frustration but he knew that he cannot force Orochi to take out another few bottles of Stalactite milk nor can he offend Jaraal.

Jaraal abruptly got up and looked directly into Orochi’s eyes,

“GOOD... GOOD, since you don’t want to sell it, then let me see how long you can hold on to that...”

He threw a Red Card to Chand Roj and walked out of the room after threatening Orochi.

Looking at the leaving Jaraal’s figure, Chand Roj smiled wryly,

“Mr. Orochi, you have to be careful because this Jaraal is quite arrogant because of his teacher’s identity and status. And from the looks of it, he may try to harm you.”

Orochi nodded but, in his heart, he was thinking about countermeasures,

‘This Jaraal is not a good thing. If I use up all the remaining Free stat points and increase my stats, then I am 60% sure to handle him. But his teacher’s background is what makes things tricky.’

.

Orochi followed Chand Roj to receive his money.

Chand Roj gave a Red Card to Orochi and spoke,

“Mr. Orochi, this is our organization's Red VIP Card, which is the upgraded version of Mortal Grade 3 VIP membership card or the gold card.”

“This Red VIP card is only issued to those with certain qualifications and status. Mainly wealth and cultivation are the required qualifications.”

“The basic requirement is to make a transaction of at least 10 million gold coins with our Golden Chamber of commerce and possess the cultivation of at least Human stage.”

“Although, your excellency’s cultivation is still in the Mortal Realm, the amount of transactions done with our organization is still an astounding number, so you qualify to get this Red VIP card.”

“In this Red Card, an amount of 1.5 billion gold coins is stored, and whenever you require you can draw the equivalent amount of money or buy things from our organization.”

“Actually, the amount inside the Red VIP card is more than enough to give you the VIP card that is of a higher level than the Red card, but our branch does not possess the authority and qualification to do so. And if you want to get a higher level of VIP card, then you have to go to the Kingdom and apply for one.”

Basically, the Red VIP card given by Chand Roj is like a Debit Card given by banks to the customers, commonly seen in Orochi’s previous life.

Chand Roj continued to introduce all the special features of possessing the Red VIP card. Like how much discount you can get, how the owner of ‘Red VIP card’ can get or exchange Low grade energy stones for the normal market price- 1000 gold coins, and not pay extra money. Or how they can enjoy extra perks- such as staying in the inns owned by Golden Chamber of commerce for low prices or sometimes free. Or dining discounts in the restaurants owned by them or partnered with them.

It took Chand Roj about 20 minutes to introduce all these features to Orochi.

Orochi was also getting impatient with this but to the specialty of Red VIP card, he was bearing it all.

But what made him angry and helpless as he couldn’t take out all the 1.5 billion gold coins because the branch doesn’t have that much money with them and they have to get it from a different branch.

But he knew that a branch established in a small place like the Windy country, cannot possess such wealth with them.

So, Orochi could only wait for a few more days and return to his home with 10,000 low grade energy stones and gold notes equivalent to 100 million gold coins.
