Chapter 539 The dark shaman
When dronacharya and Dele Ali finally reached the door of the wooden hut , they were able to hear faint noises of metal being churned with an occassional clanging sound.
The duo looked at each other as they reconsidered knocking on the door , as it may disturb the dark shaman's practice , and they may be subjected to his curses , should he be displeased.
However before they could knock , the metal churning sound stopped as a gruffy and almost beast like voice said " Grrrr....who disturbes me.... ".
Both Dele Ali and Dronacharya take a step back at this point as Dronacharya instantly goes butter-up mode as he said " Oo great shaman , it is us the blood merchants , the humble servants of the devil Lucifer who have came on a mission , however if it displeases you , we will return at once and never bother you again ".
Dele Ali glared at Dronacharya for making such a spineless introduction , however dronacharya did not care , he valued his life over the wrath of Dele Ali , as he continued to silently back off from the huts entrance .
Dele Ali knew better than dronacharya , as for him the success of the mission was extremely important , hence even though he too was scared , he stood his ground and said boldly " The blood merchants demand an audience , we have came for a very important mission ."
There was silence for a moment , before the gruffy voice said " Grr....The blood merchants , the dogs of Lucifer on middle earth... hehehe, till i remember your leader is also a tier 4 is he not? ".
" Yes he is " , replied Dele Ali.
" Then if he wants there to be dialogue , tell him to bring his a** over to my humble hut or tell Lucifer to come himself.
I am not an employee of an organisation like you , not a lowly member either.
You want to talk with the boss , then THE BOSS COMES TO TALK HIMSELF! ".
BAM! , A strong wave of darkness blasted Dele Ali 30 yards away from the hut and slammed him onto a tree as the shaman had made his decision clear.
Either scar-face came personally to hold talks , or there would be no talks at all.
This was a slap in the face for Dele Ali who was a tier 4 existance himself , however he could only hang his head in shame and take out his anger on the coward dronacharya as for now , the mission was a failure , however not a complete failure.

( Meanwhile back at the True Elites Kingdom , Purplehaze city )
Rudra was doing administerial work for his kingdom , as he revised the tax structure and introduced many public welfare schemes.
The first job he did as king was to completely wipe out all presence of the previous imperial government from all corners of his country , and oust each and every rebel guild out of his nation.
He rewarded those who rebelled with him and swore fealty under his crown and punished those who chose to resist his rule.
He stabilized the streets of Whitecloud city , Greencloud city and the other revolt affected areas , as he opened many food kitchens and economic releif centres to de-escalate public aggression.
It worked perfectly as Rudra's reforms were extremely popular , as not only did Rudra distribute food and grain , but also employed people by the masses into his city redevelopment projects.
Alongside Ethan Grey Rudra had made grand plans for the privatization of the entire Nineclouds kingdom as the grey international had given him a comprehensive plan onto how to maximize the worth of land under him.
Grey's plan was to convert Whitecloud city into a tourist city in Omega with many tourist attractions and extremely rich culture.
He wanted pubs , fighting arenas , libraries, hotels , taverns , horses and mounts , exotic food , exquisite local industry , and 5-7 local speciality buildings to be built inside the city and turn it into one of the best places to visit in Omega , soo that every casual player of Omega would want to visit the city as their first tourist destination.
It was an ambitious plan , however if successful it would bring in unprecedented amounts of income , as the tourism industry was the best industry to be had by a government , as foreign nationals came to their city , spent a lot of money and went away without utilizing any state benefits.
However for a strong tourism industry , the roads must be safe and clean , and a lot of development must be done , which needed a lot of captial.
Currently , the elites did not have capital reserves enough to run not only the entire kingdom , but also support such massive amounts of development with their gold reserves . Hence Ethan suggested privatization.
He auctioned city parts in real life and generated incredible amounts of wealth for a 10 year lease on the land sold. In-Return the companies that bought the land got license to develop predetermined pubs , clubs etc etc but also had to mandatorily make proper roads and 3 goverment chosen buildings out of their own money.
This way Ethan sold bits of the city to foreign institutions and not only raised immense capital but also ensured an extremely fast development path and got government infrastructure built for free.
The economic upside for the city was also huge as unemployment rates dropped by a significant margin and soo did crime.
It was one of the case studies for the world on how to develop a city fast , and everyone paid close attention to it.
However not everyone had a massive corporation like grey international backing them logistically , who could manage thousands of small contracts and get them signed and sealed within a matter of days .
And even if one did have such a massive organization backing them , not many had absolute autonomy over a territory like the elites.
Most guilds were only managing territories under a crown and not the owners of a kingdom , hence they had their own restrictions.
Only the Elite + Grey combo had the power to achieve this incredible feat of buisness and power.
