Heavenly Opposers-Chapter 280 - 279-The Merchant Side Is Back

Time seemed to pass as fast as it came, the situation that should be settled around in the Ai family being settled quickly, the city being placed safely, Azrail making sure to deploy everything around that would be of use while making sure his family would be able to deal and use the things to safeguard issues around them.

’A lot of issues exist within the neighbouring cities’

Even now, assassins would come out as targets, but they would be quickly dealt with as they came, the different types of attacks trying to weaken the family, too, not taking root. Poor bastards don’t know that everything they do is being seen, which means no matter what they do, it will be quickly dealt with before it can bloom.

The things that had to be set for his family were set as it went forth, and now the safety of my family in the material world was set, which meant it was time for Azrail to get back to All-Realm and start his plans on building his empire there. Right now, he wasn’t moving as DeathMark; he was now moving as the merchant Dreadcloaks.

{A/N: In the beginning, it was written as Azrail meeting the guy as DeathMark, but I had made changes to it, and now made it such that he visits the place with his name called Dreadcloaks.}

Azrail’s body formed shape within a white room, this time as himself, his small body floating around as a child, his true self on display, but he didn’t do anything. A small covering came over him as a cloak with dark and red mixing, his stance now as the merchant Dreadcloaks as Azrail also adjusted his voice a bit to sound more mature.

The height thing isn’t much of an issue due to the very fact that many different species walk the cosmos. The last time, Azrail went with his persona as DeathMark, but with all the changes happening around, Azrail now has to take the lead with his current self, and that’s for the better because once he sets his merchant empire here, he would have his own mother lead it, she is the best at it.

’I have a lot of money currently…’

Azrail mused, the things a good merchant would need are the load of connections he gets, the connections that help him build his power around, and Azrail now has the money, but he lacks the true connections he needs, and it’s that which he has to build from the ground up, which he has a way to doing too.

’All-Seer, tell me the marked list I can use’

Soon, a list of information appeared in front of Azrail, who started to read it, the info itself the rare things that he could use in the future that would be very useful for him. It ranges from the wars he can take advantage of to the drought in certain resources that would cause a lot of issues everywhere, which in all sense would only be good for him.

’How are the purchases for those mines coming along?’

[It’s going smoothly, but it will take some more patience to be run before the full agreement can be signed]

All-Seer replied, to which Azrail asked,

’What about the stocking of those natural resources?’

[With the money you have in hand, I have tried to secure the most resources possible; after all, I need to keep it in line such that no doubts arise.]

’Good, you can keep at it. After all, it will take some time for those droughts to hit anyway, so purchase and store them all on the down-low.’

With that reply, Azrail focused on what he can currently do right now. Most merchants would have to sell a large amount of their possessions or put forth a large amount of their own money to travel between the realms, or to shift their products or even enter the market, with lots of tax and money being taken from them.

As stated before, this won’t be an issue for Azrail, thanks to All-Seer playing some tricks to confuse the system, and no one will be able to track it at all. Sure, All-Seer can’t simply produce the money since it’s the most looked after, but it sure as hell can cover up some things to make life much easier for Azrail.

’How’s the situation coming along in the Ironroot Forest?’

[A blight has ravaged the Ironroot trees, causing the forest to wither. The nature spirits are powerless to stop it, just as you know.]

’Good.’

Azrail’s eyes narrowed at those words, the Ironroot forest, in a sense, being a powerful place in a powerful realm that is governed by some of the most powerful pantheons ever. The place is a reason for supplying some of the most well-needed wooden materials that are required in certain production methods.

The realm comes under a certain organisation run by the elves, while the realm itself is being taken care of by some of the high wood elves, making them a powerful bunch under a very powerful protection, but right now, they will all be going mad with the issue they are facing now, the issue where their roots are dying out, taking with them their most precious trees.

A whole vast forest that can span the area of continents is what this so-called ’forest’ can be dictated as, a resource that was found and taken control of by this organisation after a war of the realms, which has made them a lot of money and in a sense is a bit important too, though once the trees die out, so will the use of that realm to that organisation.

The realms in question are being protected by their specific organisations or pantheons. If they are under a good one, then it’s good for them, but if they fall into the hands of dark powers, then only a pitiful life awaits the residents of that realm, and right now, the realm having the Ironheart trees is doing well.

But the moment they run out of use to their organisation, they would be thrown away, and then the realm itself might fall into the hands of darker powers, which would end up with the whole realm itself suffering in a never-ending pain they won’t be able to deal with. This is why it’s extremely important for that realm that this issue can be solved as fast as possible.

’Of course, they are trying their best to hide it for now, but that won’t last for long.’

Azrail’s eyes narrowed at that thought. It’s the truth; they are hiding it pretty well for now, taking into account the fact that it’s a vast place and reaching all trees would take time, but sadly, within this time range, the rate of spread will increase 100-fold, making the situation completely hopeless, and the realm itself will fall.

It’s only some time after that the true situation will be found, and the solution to it was so simple that the story itself got a lot of views, making that organisation feel a sense of defeat, they being the butt of the joke for some time. That’s the reason why Azrail remembers what happened, the story from the past he had heard about.

And now Azrail will be using it to his advantage, the 100-fold hit would have happened by now, and they would be at their highest peak of panic, which means it’s the right time for him to act now.
