"The quality of the wheat is very good, but … Hmm … It would be great if it was ground into flour. There are many places where it can't be processed."
There were two or three boxes of wheat in front of the store, with price tags on them.
A merchant grabbed a handful of wheat from the box. He frowned and looked like he was having a headache, as if he really wanted to buy it, but didn't want to buy it.
However, his thoughts had long been seen through by a certain Demon King who was standing to the side with his arms crossed.
"That's a pity. I will consider processing some of the goods into flour in the future. When the time comes, I welcome your presence."
The Demon King said indifferently.
This made the merchant's expression turn bitter, but he quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "It's alright, it's just a bit troublesome. It's just that the price is a bit high, boss. How can the price of wheat be so high …"
"I'm sorry, this is already the lowest price. If you can find something lower, you're welcome to tell me."
The Demon King interrupted him. The merchant frowned. This person wasn't a businessman at all. He was quite angry.
He knew that this was impossible. In the current situation, being able to eat their fill was already good enough, not to mention being able to take out so much wheat. There was no third party in Stongu's market, and it was said that this boss was related to Count Arcath. Small merchants like them couldn't compete with him.
In the end, the merchant still compromised with this price.
"Alright, I'll buy five hundred catties."
The Demon King smiled and clapped his hands.
"Ah Ji, five hundred catties of wheat."
"Alright, boss."
At this moment, a person with slightly drooping shoulders walked out with a radiant face. He wore a dark green cotton coat and had a long towel on his shoulder. He carried bags of grain and placed them on the merchant's cart.
After the transaction was completed, the Demon King smiled and sent the merchant off. However, the merchant revealed an unhappy expression, as if he had lost money.
However, the Demon King knew that he wouldn't lose money. As long as they didn't meet any bandits on the road, this batch of goods would definitely be sold at an extremely high price. After all, there were many, many hungry people. Therefore, this was a win-win transaction. However, the merchants were all very strange. To them, the definition of a loss wasn't that they had less money, but that they didn't grasp the opportunity to earn more.
This was also the reason why the Demon King did not like this group of people.
"Ah Ji."
"Boss."
A 'Ji smiled as he walked over. Every time he saw the Demon King, he would smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's take a break. There won't be any business for the time being."
The Demon King said.
"Eh? Boss, how did you know? "
A 'Ji was puzzled.
The Demon King glanced at him and said with a smile, "Because all the cars in the city are filled with wheat."
In a short span of three days, the Demon King had sold a hundred thousand catties. Of course, if he wanted to sell all of them, those big merchants would sell them for a few hundred thousand catties.
However, the Demon King would not do that. They were enemies.
However, just as the Demon King was about to return to the shop, he suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Business is booming, boss."
At this moment, a voice came from behind. A woman in a long dress with fluffy hair and round glasses appeared in front of the shop with an old butler.
It was her!
The Demon King was stunned. Layle smiled and said, "We meet again."
"Mm, what a coincidence. But I'm guessing you're not here to buy anything."
"Not necessarily. But before that, I'm here to thank you."
The butler took out a small box. Layle took it and walked towards the Demon King.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
The Demon King glanced at it and smiled, "Thank you. Come in and have some tea."
Inside the room, the Mother Empress was sitting with her legs crossed. Her right hand was on the tea table. She propped up her face and observed a small bug on the wall.
She had been watching for a while. Myr did not know what she was doing, but she did not dare ask. This was because this woman who looked like a human was actually that demon's left and right hand. Her strength was unfathomable.
Meanwhile, Myr was in the room, sorting the gems. Because the warehouse was too stuffy and dark, and because she did not want to be with so many demons, she had come to this spacious place.
Thieves?
No, being surrounded by demons, she was not worried about thieves or robbers at all. On one hand, she was afraid of these demons, but at the same time, she felt at ease because of their existence.
"Please come in."
At this moment, the Demon King brought Layle in. When she saw the two unfamiliar people, Myr was stunned. She immediately recognized that the woman with eyes wearing a dress was the adventurer she had met outside the city!
"Pour a cup of tea for the guests."
The Demon King shouted to the Mother Empress.
The Mother Empress did not move and said indifferently, "I'm not free. Pour it yourself."
"No need, no need. You're too polite. We'll leave after sitting for a while."
Layle waved her hand and said.
The Demon King frowned. At this moment, Myr stood up and said, "I'll do it. What kind of tea would you two like to drink?"
"Anything is fine."
Layle said with a faint smile.
However, she muttered in her heart, Rich people are really surrounded by beautiful women. The one in white should be the main wife. Her beauty can be considered a national beauty. Moreover, he clearly has such a beautiful wife, yet he still wants a concubine. She's not bad looking and is quite diligent in her work.
Also, it's strange. This woman seems a little …
Layle stared at the Mother Empress. She could feel the strange feeling from the other party.
"What?"
The Mother Empress noticed her gaze and looked over with displeasure.
"Sorry, you're too beautiful. I can't help but take a second look even if you're of the same sex."
Layle said with a smile.
The Mother Empress rolled her eyes at her and continued to observe the little bugs on the wall. At this moment, Myr came over with tea.
"Thank you. Yes, it's delicious." Layle took a sip, then gently put down the teacup and said to the Demon King, "Mr. Richard is really lucky. Both of his wives are as beautiful as flowers."
Hearing this, Myr, who had just left, accidentally knocked over the teapot and repeatedly apologized.
"Wives? What do you mean? "
The Mother Empress at the side was puzzled.
The Demon King also raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Eh? Did I make a mistake? "
Layle blinked and asked.
"No, they're just my employees."
The Demon King replied indifferently.
"Hey, what does' wife 'mean?"
The Mother Empress was still asking. Seeing her confused expression, Layle felt that something was wrong. Did she really not know?
"It's a marriage ceremony when two people in love decide to spend the rest of their lives together. The woman is the man's wife, and the man is the woman's husband."
Layle expressed her point of view.
Hearing this, the Mother Empress was stunned. Her eyes widened.
Thinking about how she was bound to a contract, did she have to spend the rest of her life with this terrifying demon?
