Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 473 Laying Foundation

Chapter 473 Laying Foundation

"Eren, you… you woke up already?"

Agatha asked while getting up from the bed, rubbing her eyes. As soon as she got up, she could feel that her hips and legs were sore because of yesterday's prolonged session.

"Morning, Miss Manager. Care to join me for a drink?"

Looking at Agatha, Eren asked where he stood. The latter looked at the same brand of the bottle that had made her feel like she was drinking lava and decided to ignore the offer.

'I… I'm a mess.'

Agatha said to herself when she looked down at her body. Her hair had turned unkempt and her body could use a bath. Plus, the fatigue wasn't completely over for her.

So she channelled her mana throughout her body and relaxed her muscles. Then she cast her azure-water spell and let it gather around her, drawing life essence from the surroundings. Her sore body and fatigued state were curbed to some degree.

Agatha then freshened up by quickly immersing her body in the azure ma.s.s of water. Finally, she changed into an adventurer's outfit while her body was covered by the spell.

Agatha was ready to face the day within a few minutes of her waking up. Eren had to admit that she broke a huge stereotype with her day-to-day moves alone. Meanwhile, he still stood by the window naked and not caring about how he reeked or looked.

"Eren, wear some pants maybe. Altas.h.i.+a will come to meet us soon, you know."

Agatha said and pouted while looking at her master. But not before taking a sneak peek at his crotch. She then smiled to herself and contacted the inn and told them to bring some food overusing the array disk.

Eren nodded at Agatha and threw a rune-sealed doc.u.ment at her. He then retrieved his set of clothes and started wearing them while dictating the course of actions Agatha needed to take.

"This is another copy of the doc.u.ment that states the plot of land that I had talked to you about belongs to us, the White Raven Guild. Keep this to yourself."

Eren said while channelling his fire-element mana throughout his body. The butcher got clean even faster than Renita. If the latter had broken a stereotype with how fast she got ready, the former had strengthened it for his gender with his move.

Agatha imbued her mana into the doc.u.ment and realized that now it was bound to her mana signature. She quickly released the rune and started reading it while sitting at the edge of the bed.

Eren then threw another bunch of doc.u.ments and scrolls on the bed beside her while pulling his pants up. He added further as he buckled his pants.

"This would be our rough plans about the land. In these doc.u.ments. you'd find the references, the right person we can contact for the right job, and some other smaller plots of land we can obtain from other owners that are attached to the land we already have under our name."

Agatha looked at Eren suspiciously when she heard his intentions to buy more lots of land. The one that they had was already enough to establish a decent-sized city. For now, they didn't need to waste more money on buying more land. At least that was the first thought she had when she heard her thrifty master's diabolical decision to spend money extravagantly.

Eren smirked at her when he figured out what she was thinking. He clarified it for her.

"It won't be for our use. We'll buy those lands now and sell them after the entrance to Minerva's Utopia gets discovered. Kekekeke. We'll sell those lands for quadruple the amount of their current buying value and rankers would still buy them.

We don't have to wait for our guild's city to be built for this instant profit. Investing in this way will allow us to make a quick profit. We can then use that money on our big project."

Eren said while b.u.t.toning his s.h.i.+rt. Agatha realized what Eren's plan was when she heard Eren's plan. It made sense to her. But there was still one huge problem.

"Eren, we don't have that much money lying around. Sure, we can purchase a piece of land or two that is on the outskirts of our ground zero with what we have right now. But to buy the quant.i.ty you want us to buy…"

Eren sighed when Agatha addressed this problem. He shook his head before replying.

"I know what we have is a chump change for the plans we have hatched. But let's start slowly. Take one step at a time. Sell some of our a.s.sets in the Lionheart duchy if you have to.

Meet with people. Raise a legal query in any information guild, bribe the city officials, or arrange a recon using black-market channels. But try to find out about the owners of those lands. And use any means necessary to get those lands at the lowest rates possible. Target the weakest owners first.

Lie, beg, borrow, and steal. But get most of those lands under our wings."

Eren said and started wearing a dark brown runic jacket over his white-coloured s.h.i.+rt. He then groomed his hair using his fingers as a comb before adding more.

"The doc.u.ments and scrolls I have given you should be helpful to you in your task. The rest of the blanks you would have to fill in yourself.

I know it's not an easy task if you are the only one doing it. Plus, the scope of your share of work would only grow if our initial plan comes to fruition. Maybe we'll find somebody in the future who can help you. But for now, you have your hands full."

Then Eren walked towards the door after breakfast had been delivered outside their room. He brought the food trolley near the dining table and prepared Agatha's platter before handing it out to her. He didn't use any plate for himself and started eating the food straight from the vessels placed on the trolley.

"Eren, there's one more problem. Even if everything works out according to our plan for the future, we still have to live in the present. We don't have any substantial weight at the moment. All our plans are based on the fact that Minerva's Utopia would appear on the land we own.

I will never doubt you. But how will you convince the others?

And even if we manage to convince the parties, how will we stop them from taking us out of the picture entirely when they understand the land's true worth?

I'm sure that the Derringers would have plenty of ways to make an Ace ranker submit his land to them."
