=====

Veridia Company has been in existence for half a month now, and during this time, they have achieved significant results in strengthening their presence in the market and subsequently improving their financial condition. Among ordinary people, they have also become known as a luxury brand that offers products in standard configurations at reasonable prices without the brand markup. However, this has led to some problems.

Undoubtedly, the competition in the market was simply dreadful. In the absence of special laws on fair competition, there is sheer chaos here. There have been numerous attempts on Adam's life, but they all ended with the death of the assassins sent after him. The same applied to the four merchants.

"It's exhausting me. My bodyguards follow me everywhere I go. I can't even have a peaceful moment with a woman!" Avalon complained with a tired look. He had large bags under his eyes.

Adam, on the other hand, lounged casually in his chair. They were in Veridia Company's headquarters, on the top floor. This was the most secure place, as it was his office. In the room were Avalon, as mentioned, and Ricky. Two women were currently on trips to other countries to expand their business.

The situation was straightforward. For each merchant, Adam provided experienced bodyguards because he was afraid of losing valuable assets. Of course, not many people responded with joy because having bodyguards had both advantages and disadvantages. One of the problems was the inability to maintain personal space, and this issue was significant, considering there were women on the team.

For them, Adam had to work hard to find experienced and strong female bodyguards who would work honestly. After some headaches, he managed to find suitable personnel and provided them for Maria and Sabrina. In general, they solved one of the problems.

Ricky simply smiled contentedly in response to Avalon's complaint. Judging by his expression, everything was fine with him, and considering Adam's recent investment, the man was satisfied.

"Ricky, I can see that a satisfied grin hasn't left your face. Anything happened?" Avalon inquired as he got permission from Adam to retrieve alcohol from a drawer in the desk. While he bent over and unlocked the cabinet, Ricky responded.

"Mm? Ah, that... hehe. I recently came up with a few ideas for everyday people. It looks luxurious, but the price is very reasonable. The raw material costs will pay off in an instant!" he reported, giving a soft smile and thanking Adam, who pushed a glass toward him. "Thank you very much, Boss."

"You're welcome. In any case, today we've gathered to have a drink. It was a tough day, lots of demands, but we handled it well," Adam said, raising his index finger, signaling to Avalon that he'd had enough cognac, which had been poured for him. Turning to Avalon, who was pouring for Ricky, he asked, "Avalon, I heard there have been issues with supplying provisions to the Avalonia army. Does Queen Elizabeth have something in mind?"

Avalon didn't provide a straightforward answer because he looked puzzled and couldn't understand the reason for this woman's actions. However, Adam had a rough understanding of the situation, and given the recent rumors that tried to spread about him, this matter concerned Elizabeth directly.

Veronica's appearance in the middle of a seat worsened their relationship. Now he couldn't even get a meeting, as she had answers for everything: "Busy," "Not the right time," "Working." Of course, this somewhat upset him because he wanted to continue improving their relationship, both in terms of cooperation and love.

After all, what could be better than having an ally like Elizabeth, who ruled a large country and represented formidable firepower herself? Of course, Veronica was providing him with good assistance now, but there was a significant problem in the Chaos Empire. That was the absence of business and development opportunities there.

While nearly the entire world used Dragon Stones as currency, the Chaos Empire was distinct in that it used magical items or plants. In other words, anything of equal value could be exchanged for a different product. It was an extremely old-fashioned but still decent way of doing business.

When Adam asked her why they wouldn't use the regular financial system, Veronica looked puzzled and asked, "Why? Demons don't need currency; we exchange our possessions." This caught him off guard, but he didn't try to persuade her. There was no point in it, and he understood that it was better to leave things as they were rather than attempting to change a rule that had been established over the centuries.

During the conversation between Adam and the two merchants, the main topic shifted to the Branks Company.

"The CEO of Branks Company remains undisclosed until now. Does that raise some doubts, doesn't it? I feel like we know too little about our competitor," Avalon suddenly expressed concern, showing documents with brief information about Branks Company. "There's a collection of various information here, but we know absolutely nothing about the company's internals. Not about the number of employees, not about the top managers and directors. Moreover, the biggest secret is the CEO."

"I understand your concern, Avalon. But in my opinion, it's too early for you to get worked up over investigating a large company. Someone whispered to me that the Branks CEO has connections to the royal family," Ricky suddenly announced, greatly surprising both Adam and Avalon. Seeing their interested expressions, Ricky continued, "I'm not rushing to declare the truth, but please take note. If the Boss can somehow negotiate with the Queen, maybe we can start some kind of cooperation."

"Hmm..."

As for whether these rumors would turn out to be true, Adam didn't give it much thought. For him, anything lacking solid evidence, even just one, wasn't worth close attention. Regarding the topic of cooperation that Ricky brought up, he had no intention of discussing it.

"Cooperating with them is impossible," Adam stated.

And no one argued because each of them clearly understood one truth – it's impossible to collaborate with a competitor who holds a similar monopoly on goods. In such a position, they would be in a lower rank, which would only benefit Branks. Moreover...

Adam didn't want to have direct dealings with Branks. He felt that this company had a peculiar history. Most of the products were accessible and of high quality. They resembled what he had seen in his world from a Swedish company. This couldn't be just a coincidence.

"Another Earthling? Quite possible, I don't even doubt it. That little hero was from Earth, which means there's a chance for other individuals who arrived before me. It's not excluded," Adam pondered and yawned.

Taking a glass of cognac in his hands, he drew the attention of the two men.

lightsnοvεl.cοm "Anyway, we'll soon dominate the market. Let's drink to that. To your health!"

"To your health!"

"To your health!"

Entering his room, Adam undressed and flopped onto the bed. For now, none of his women were around as they were all occupied with work. The city of Elysium, which he built for safety and residence, was currently in a crucial planning stage. The main buildings were constructed, and the planning of the main estate had begun. This required direct involvement from Adam's family.

The process was laborious, involving many aspects, and the women made the architect sweat over every detail. Adam didn't interfere with this matter because he didn't want any extra headaches. Besides, there was Amarantha, someone he could trust with such matters.

"Bed, my dear bed... nothing is more beautiful than you," he mumbled, snuggling under the blanket.

It seemed like all the fatigue from today's work had dissipated. Adam smiled and suddenly felt something soft and warm under the blanket. His hands moved, and he found something round, and then...

"Hi-i-iya!"

He raised an eyebrow and lifted the blanket. His facial expression contorted with surprise when he saw her there.

"Mother-in-law... what are you doing here?"

"Nothing~! I just wanted to scare you!"

His hand rested on her soft and slender buttocks. At the same time, on her face, there was embarrassment, and her eyes glistened. Although she looked very innocent, Adam felt as if he was being stared at by a hungry lioness. It was a little eerie.

He didn't even know how to react to this but decided to make the most sensible choice – go to sleep. Ignoring the fact that his back was transmitting to his brain the presence of two soft aspects, he drifted off to sleep. And in the morning...

Adam looked suspiciously at his younger brother. For some reason, he felt tired, as if all his energy had been drained from him. Although he had some guesses, he didn't want to dwell on it deeply. Therefore, he chose to ignore it for the sake of the universe's balance.

***

Ekaterina and Adam sat at the same table, sorting documents into categories. The table was quiet, and none of them spoke, focusing on their work. Only the rustling of papers was heard, accompanied by sighs from the man when he saw the unfinished tasks.

This had become a routine job. Before sleep, they checked papers and tried to make decisions regarding their next steps. From morning until night, they worked diligently because they had many projects and subordinates under their supervision. Ekaterina managed a bank that had grown to incredible proportions. With the help of loans and microloans, they managed to establish a good reputation.

People didn't fully understand how it worked yet. When they received money, they were happy, but when the day of interest payments came, it led to a lot of problems. Most of them didn't anticipate having to make monthly contributions, which caused dissatisfaction. However, being dissatisfied is one thing, and paying the money is another. Therefore, the bank was very successful in helping businessmen with their finances.

To be continued...
