Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 303: Great Success of Instigation

Going to Feysac?

Alvin White frowned and was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Adele.

"Let me tell you the reason first." Adele gently turned the pipe made of unknown material in her hand and said slowly:
"First of all, the environment in Feysac is much more peaceful than that in the southern continent. You should know that the Rose School in the southern continent is currently at war with the Goddess Church and the Mother Goddess Church. In this case, the sales of your potions will be greatly affected."

"Isn't that right?" Erwin frowned. "Where there is war, there should be a huge demand for medicine."

He was actually somewhat aware of what Adele had told him before about the chaebols. This time he and his wife came to the Southern Continent with a similar intention, which was to open a subsidiary in the Southern Continent, taking into account the demand for medicine on the front line.

"It is indeed huge, but you have to consider why Mr. Fool asked you two to start a pharmaceutical company." Adele explained methodically, "Is it to make more money and save more people?"

Miss Justice had already told Adele in the previous Tarot Club the tasks that Mr. Fool gave to each member of the Tarot Club, so Adele decided to start from this aspect.

The best way to persuade the self-righteous immortals is to bring up the gods.

"He asked us to open a pharmaceutical company and spread His name." Elvin White asked doubtfully, "But what does this have to do with our development direction?"

"You have to think clearly. Is it so easy to expand your influence by acting as a drug supplier for the military?" Adele continued to persuade. "What drugs are you going to sell here and to whom? What drugs are you going to sell in Feysac and to whom?"

On the surface, Loen's expedition was to continue expanding its colonies, but in reality it was a mysterious war against the Rose School. The main participants were the "Nightwatchers" of the Goddess Church, some of the "Manufactured Punishers" of the Storm Church, and the "Gardeners" of the Mother Goddess Church. The only ordinary soldiers mobilized were the Southern Corps, totaling less than 10,000 people.

"The official Beyonders who suffered the most casualties naturally have a special supply of medicines. Without the church's connections, it would be difficult for you to get in. Even if you can squeeze in, would you publicize that person's name in the church team? I don't think that's realistic."

Adele took another puff of mandrake smoke, leaving Mr. and Mrs. White some time to recover, and continued, "As for the ordinary officers and soldiers, I'm afraid that even if your medicine is effective, it will be difficult to treat all the injuries they suffered in these battles, right?"

Furlong White nodded in agreement. Their potion sought a compromise between magical effects and cost, allowing the potion to have the highest efficacy within a reasonable cost range. However, after all, there is still a considerable gap between it and a magical potion. When a soldier is seriously injured, the improved efficacy is actually very limited.

In other words, this medicine can make minor injuries heal faster, but it cannot save the organic damage to major organs.

Although it is still very competitive compared to ordinary potions, Mr. Fool's goal is to maximize the impact, and doing so is too inefficient.

"But it's different in Feysac. It's also a big city. I have sorted out all the relationships both openly and secretly, so there won't be any problems with sales."

Adele picked up the table of White's main products and circled a few of them. "Accordingly, you must also make certain changes to your business direction."

The White family are all doctors, and they usually make mainly middle-class money. Although they do not go three years without opening a shop, they always start with at least 20 pounds each time they open a shop. Therefore, they have not yet changed their main product ideas. Most of them are drugs for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the prices are quite high.

"My suggestion is that the main products in Feysac should be anti-flu medicines. There are four distinct seasons there. The weather is cold in winter, and the flu in spring and autumn is fatal to the poor."

Adele continued her analysis, circling the chart with her pipe.

"Moreover, after the route is opened, a large number of Loen people will go to Feysac. They are also important targets for development as they are not used to the local climate."

On one side were the poor who could be stricken by a flu and the speculators who had to leave their homes because of the war, and on the other side were the elite soldiers carefully selected by the Loen government to fight overseas. It was obvious which side's beliefs were more likely to change.

What's more, the Church of the God of War had just lost the war. Compared with the Church of Night, whose believers were more difficult to win over? Even if Adele didn't say it, the Whites understood it.

"What you said does make sense, but we have already started planning for our project here, so what should we do?"

After listening to Adele's story, Alvin was completely convinced by the young lady's words, but when he thought about the fact that the field hospital he invested in had already begun construction and would officially open in a few days, it would be a pity to abandon it.

"You can keep some clinical physicians and pharmacists here. Except for those who treat tropical infectious diseases such as malaria, all of them can be transferred to Feysac. I will arrange for their reception."

Adele made the arrangements first, then said with some heartache: "Don't worry about the salary and expenses, we can talk about these in detail later."

Anyway, so far, he has no competitors in the coastal area. With Miss Audrey in charge, it is estimated that others will not interfere with the business in this area before seeing clear benefits. When the island veins are officially mined, the company should be able to break even in three months at most.

What? Where did you get the money for the past few months? What do you think the epaulettes on Adele's shoulders... ah, she's not wearing them now, what do you think her rank of lieutenant and her identity as a privateer captain are for?
Although the looted things can only be divided with the kingdom in a 40% and 60% ratio, even if only 40% is taken, it is still not a small amount.

In fact, Adele's management skills were not that high. It would not be difficult for any mature businessman to see through her plan. However, the bureaucratic structure and kingdom composition of the Feysac Empire were far less mature than the constitutional monarchy of the Loen Kingdom, and it was even more incomparable to the Intis Republic reformed by Emperor Roselle - of course, Roselle later became emperor, which was another matter.

In short, the situation in the Feysac Empire was still in the transitional stage between feudalism and capitalism. In order to promote the republic, Roselle had even written a book called "On Capital" to criticize the systems of other countries. However, after his death, the book was also banned by the Three Kingdoms.

However, as a former veteran Roselle fan, although she is now in a state of semi-quit being a fan due to the Witch Card incident, Adele had previously found some pages of "On Capital" through various means, and terms such as capitalism were also found by her in the book.

Due to Feysac's backward political system and the strong suppression of the Ares Church, there are almost no large financial groups in Feysac. This is one of the important reasons why the gangs in Indogang grew bigger but were not suppressed by the financial groups.

——In Loen, the chaebols are strong but the individuals are weak; in Feysac, the chaebols are weak but the individuals are strong.

There were no competitors or obstructing forces. The official Beyonders and the Witch Cult were all backing him up, as well as the mysterious Tarot Club. Under such circumstances, he took over the already powerful Indogang gang...

I, Adele, have never fought such a rich battle in my life...

Seeing that the Whites were still hesitating, the instigator's talent told Adele that it was time to use her trump card.

"If your actions here don't go smoothly, then Emlyn will be in trouble. He is a new member of the church, and his position in both the church and the military is not very stable."

Adele paused for a moment and quietly observed the expressions of the White couple. Sure enough, when it came to their son, the two vampires were originally quibbling, but now they suddenly perked up.

"What I'm going to say next is a military secret, so don't spread it." Seeing that her words had an effect, Adele hurriedly continued to fan the flames. "The star that rose from the sea two days ago not only caused a tsunami, but also caused heavy losses to the kingdom's armored fleet. Although this incident was something that Emlyn could not prevent, the expeditionary force still needs someone to take responsibility."

"Perhaps because of his chosen status, his personal safety will definitely not be a problem, but the logistics director of the expeditionary force... this is a lucrative position, and there are many people competing with him."

Adele said meaningfully. The loss of the ironclad ship was obviously a piece of news that could not be concealed. It would not be a serious mistake to tell it now. On the contrary, it could impact the mental defenses of the two vampires.

"How could it be..." Flouron White's face suddenly turned pale, much paler than before.

"Then, will Emlyn be dismissed?" Elvin White wanted to take off his gold-framed glasses, but he was so nervous that he didn't take them off for a long time and even broke the legs of the glasses.

"I came here from the Northern Continent for a reason." Adele answered vaguely, "I can only say that there is still room for maneuver, and I will try my best. However, if he leaves any evidence behind because of helping White Pharmaceuticals develop in the Southern Continent, it will be difficult for me to resolve it."

What she said was indeed true, but the reason she came here was not to clean up Emlyn's mess as the Whites thought.

Hearing that there was still hope, the two vampires breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although Emlyn's hobby had indeed given them a headache for a long time, this child was their pride after all.

"Please rest assured, we will not make it difficult for Emlyn in this regard in the future."

"In fact, promotion in worldly official positions is secondary. They don't care who will be in charge."

Seeing that the Whites had relaxed a little, Adele pushed again, fearing that the effect would not be good.

Adele said solemnly, "You also know that he and I were both chosen by Mr. Fool and the Mother Goddess. Therefore, I know the progress of the other people's tasks. If we wait until that person wakes up, Emlyn's task progress will be the slowest..."

In front of the two vampires who were already sweating with fear, Adele leisurely said the words that Mr. Hanged Man had warned her:

"Believe in the power of the gods, not their mercy!"

Elvin White and Furlong White swallowed, looked at each other, stood up from their seats, and saluted Adele together. Then, Furlong White shook Adele's hand sincerely and said to her:
"We are all clear about this. I have to thank you on behalf of Emlyn. This child has always been unstable in his work. Now that you are by his side, we feel relieved."

Wait a minute, Mrs. White, this attitude is not right. Have you not yet come to the state of choosing a daughter-in-law?
Adele's mouth corners twitched stiffly, forcing a smile.

"We'll do as you say with White Company. Once shipping with the Northern Continent is restored, we'll find a way to transfer some of the pharmacists here back. As for those of our clansmen who haven't left yet, I'll use a special method among vampires to get them to go directly to Indo."

Elvin White also agreed, "Don't worry about the employees' salary expenses. We will help you advance the money in the early stage. Emlyn will need your help in the future."

It seems that this persuasion was a great success...

Adele nodded in satisfaction. Although she exaggerated her role in the persuasion just now, it was not groundless. Emlyn's position was indeed not stable, and he lacked experience in handling affairs, so it was difficult for him to compete with those nobles who played political games.

Adele estimated that if she could not make any progress, Emlyn would not be able to stay in his position for long. It was an unwritten consensus among the upper class of Loen that military logistics could make money.

Demigods also have to earn money to support their families. In fact, there are many demigods who cannot make ends meet due to the huge expenses. Which military member would not be jealous of a position like logistics that would not cause any major problems and make a lot of money?

Now that such a big problem has occurred under Emlyn's rule, no matter if it is his fault or not, it is definitely not his credit. Adele estimated that the military officials who wanted to bring him down in the country were probably already opening champagne to celebrate.

It was at this time that the Whites arrived. According to Emlyn's character, he would definitely support his family's company secretly; but how many people were watching him now, waiting for him to make another mistake?
Adele didn't know either, but she knew that at this time, even the smallest mistake would be magnified infinitely.

Although Emlyn was rather reserved at the banquet, he was actually very proud in his heart. Although Adele was the Fool and the Mother Goddess's Chosen, like him, Adele's sequence qualifications were not as good as his, and he had no idea how much he would listen to. It would be better to give the Whites a warning and solve the problem from the root.

After all, the White family has a pretty good relationship, and it’s always more respectable to be a relative than to be an outsider…

Adele thought to herself, but she said, "Emlyn has been keeping these things from you, but I'm worried that if you don't know, he might not be able to control himself if he really opens the door. You who watched him buy dolls should know best how strong his self-control is. If Emlyn asks, you must keep it a secret for me."

"Okay, don't worry Miss Circe, we know our limits!"
