”My family governs 4 first-tier cities, 11 second-tier cities, and 54 third-tier cities. My grandfather plans to use some of the 4 million VR-Slime cards to reward the loyal members and subordinates of the family that have helped us govern these cities to prosperity. Then use some of these cards to strengthen our armed forces,” Aria explained but paused midway waiting to see my reaction, mostly to avoid speaking the complete truth. 

Seeing through her little thoughts I asked, ”What about the remaining cards?” 

”As for the remaining cards, the family plans to use them to attract talents from reputed universities, different cities, and regions,” Aria finally spoke about the real intention of her family with my VR-Slime card. 

What if they could not resell the cards, they wanted to use these cards as a bargaining chip to attract talents from reputed universities, big cities, and other regions. Ariaʼs family wasnʼt the only one to have thought of this, Agathaʼs friends did too. 

They planned to give away my cards to friends and families of those who would help them later in their life however I had made sure to add a clause in the soul contract that stopped them from practicing such malpractice. 

However, I did not have to worry about something like this with world leaders, royal families, and Noble families as they were at the top of the world economic chain, they did not need VR-Slime cards to gain favors. The only reason they needed VR-Slime cards was to enhance the strength of their armies. 

”Nope, I cannot make a concession to my conditions for such reasons. However, you do not need to order 4 million VR-Slime Cards, you can just order the cards your family could use. I donʼt mind taking small orders from someone I know,” I rejected Ariaʼs request and offered to take on a small order of VR-Slime cards for her family. 

”Thank you,” Aria did not argue but thanked me for doing her a solid and then added, ”Still, I would like to place an order for 4 million VR-Slime cards.” 

Listening to Ariaʼs order I frowned and did not take the storage card containing 69 devil-grade ingredients that she was handing me, instead asked her, ”Are you sure you wanted to order 4 million VR-Slime cards?” 

”Master Wyatt, donʼt worry. My family will follow your two conditions to the dot. We have another plan to use the cards in case you did not agree to our request,” Seeing my expression get dark Aria immediately explained. 

”And what would that be?” I said implying that if I donʼt like her familyʼs second plan to use the cards, I will not be taking their order. 

”We plan to reward these cards to the loyal, brave, outstanding, and overachieving citizens of the cities under our governance. Our cities might be prosperous now but at the start, they werenʼt. If not for the citizens we would have achieved what we have today so we plan to use this opportunity to give back to the citizens,” Aria explained the second plan her family came up with to use all of the 4 million VR-Slime cards they will be buying from me. 

Listening to Aria, I could not help but nod in approval of her familyʼs plan to reward its citizens with VR-Slime cards. Though it looked like they appreciated their citizens, it was a way for Ariaʼs family to ensure that their capable citizens do not get touched by other cities or regions. 

”Fine, here are the 4 million VR-Slime cards,” Taking the storage card from Aria I handed her another storage card containing 4 million VR-Slime cards. Then Aria shared a soul contract which was pre-signed by her father, grandfather, and family elders. Making sure it was legit, I signed it. 

Out of the 10 million VR-Slime cards I made, I gave three million to Agatha and the other three million to Ann, as for the remaining four million cards I was saving them to give to Jill but she left in a hurry saying that she will contact me after she arranged the devil-grade ingredients need to buy the cards. 

While I was busy in the Royal familyʼs treasury Aria used that opportunity to inform her family about VR-Slime cards, reach a decision, and bring the 60 devil-grade ingredients that she just paid for the four million VR-Slime cards. 

Agatha who was watching the deal between Aria and the boy from the sidelines, suddenly up, ”Wyatt, how much for 127 VR-Slime cards.” 

Since the boy was willing to take small orders of VR-Slime cards for Aria, Agatha believed he would do the same for her too. So she blatantly asked him the cost of 127 VR-Slime cards. 

”127 cards? What for? Did I already give you 1000 cards? Did you sell all of them already?” I asked Agatha in surprise. 

”I need 127 VR-Slime cards for the children that became card apprentices in the orphanage I am sponsoring in my native. And no, I did not sell the 1000 VR-Slime yet,” Agatha answered. 

”Then just give the kids VR-Slime cards you have in your hand,” I pointed out. 

”No way, you have permitted me to sell these thousand VR-Slime cards. I do not want to just give them away as I plan to sell them when the market value of the cards is at its peak. Instead, I will buy new cards from you and give them away,” Agatha explained her predicament to me.

The VR-Slime cards I gave Agatha and her friends as payment for helping me move 3 million VR-Slime cards across the world can be resold as my two conditions do not apply to them compared to the other VR-Slime cards in the market. So their value was greater than other VR-Slime cards. 

This was why Agatha was reluctant to give away those cards to card apprentices of the orphanage sponsored by her. Instead, she plans to buy new cards from me and give the cards away to the kids.
