I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Chapter 263 - The Earth Federation's Ultimatum

"Big Sister could have chosen to dodge!" 

Fenriri talked back before Fenrira rolled her eyes and reprimanded her, "You're just an Early-stage Aura Lord. Don't you know it's dangerous falling out of the sky like that?" 

"Hehe, that's where you are wrong, Big Sister!" Fenriri shot to her feet with a smug look before pointing a thumb to herself and said proudly, "Your little sister is now a Late-stage Aura Lord like you, Big Sister! Besides, don't you know the phrase; young and dangerous?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? You were just a…" Fenrira slowly stopped talking midway before she sensed Fenriri's aura and widened her eyes in surprise.

 "Impossible! How can you suddenly be a Late-stage Aura Lord? What kind of trick is this?" 

"It's not a trick!" Fenriri argued before rummaging through her leather bag and taking out the pill bottle with enthusiasm. 

Shortly after taking out a single High-rank Grade-3 Resplendent Snow Pill, Fenriri offered it to her big sister, "Eat this, Big Sister! Master made it! It is very good stuff!"

"Is this candy? Chocolate?" Fenrira accepted the pill and studied it curiously before she snorted, "Hmph, are you trying to bribe your sister because you know you were wrong?!"

Despite saying that, Fenrira popped the pill into her mouth and swallowed it anyway since it was made by her master and offered by her cute little sister.

"Don't think I will forgive you easily just because—hm?"

Fenrira suddenly noticed the surge of spiritual energy gushing out of the pill before she immediately sat down in a meditative position to absorb the pill's medical efficacy efficiently. 

Rumble…!

A few moments later, an invisible pressure surged from Fenrira's body as she exuded the aura of a Peak-stage Aura Lord, just a single step short from the Aura King Realm.

Fenrira's eyes gradually opened with a bright look before she shot to her feet and held her sister's hands excitedly.

"Just what did you give me, Riri? How can it be so miraculous?" Fenrira inquired eagerly.

"Hehehe, it's a medicine refined specifically for increasing the cultivation of Aura Lords," Fenriri answered with a grin before she stuttered, "Master call it… ugh, Master calls it the Resplendent Cold Candy!"

Smack!

Albion gave her a sudden soft smack on the back of the head before he chided casually, "It's called the Resplendent Snow Pill, you gluttonous little brat. Even cultivation pills have been turned into food by you."

"Hehe, I meant Respendent Snow Pill," Fenriri giggled as she rubbed her head with an innocent smile and made an excuse, "I just remembered wrong."

"Oh right, there's still one left, Big Sister. I will give it to you," Fenriri passed the pill bottle to Fenrira before rummaging through her leather bag further, "Also, also, there is a lot of good stuff here as well, Big Sister!"

Fenriri began taking out food from Blue Wyvern City one by one before placing them in Fenrira's arms. 

Stunned as she was, Fenrira accepted them all as the aroma coming from the smoked meat whetted her appetite. 

As Fenriri and Fenrira interacted, Roderick Patrick shortly arrived and greeted Albion, "Boss, it's great that you're back! There are several matters I need to discuss with you." 

"Alright," Albion nodded. 

The two moved to a more private and quiet location, away from the ongoing battle with the bugs, before Albion turned to Roderick Patrick and casually asked, "What's the matter?"

"Boss, our food supplies are quickly diminishing due to the large influx of wolf-people. Although we don't have any problem feeding everyone in the next three months, it's not sustainable."

"If we cannot increase our food production, we will have to rely heavily on imports to sustain ourselves, which isn't a good solution either. The expenses would not be small, Boss."

"This is what you are worried about?" Albion questioned with a calm look before he assuring Roderick Patrick, "Don't worry, I'll get you connected with Damocles. There, you can request the necessary supplies and tech to implement agricultural development in this region."

"Agricultural development… in this environment, Boss?" Roderick Patrick's lips twitched. 

He was ready to propose fishing and hunting solutions that required the boss's permission before he implemented them, but instead, the boss suggested that the food problem be resolved through growing crops?

"Can crops even grow in this environment, Boss?"

"Obviously, it can't. That's why you will build a suitable environment first," Albion stated before saying, "Just send the word to Damocles, and they will provide all the technology and equipment to build the crop plantation."

"You do not need to worry about whether it is possible or not. After all, if Damocles can grow crops in space, then I am pretty certain they can grow crops here as well."

"Understood, Boss."

Roderick Patrick bowed in compliance without another word after getting reassurance from the boss. 

Emperor Polemos was the leading figure in almost every field of technology development. No one would doubt his capabilities.

"Food matters aside, Boss, there are also a few diplomatic issues that require your attention," Roderick Patrick shortly brought up another matter, "While you were away, we were contacted by the Earth Federation." 

"They have recognized your sovereignty over the six strongholds and its surrounding lands. However, they want you to pay for it before they grant you the right of ownership legally."

As Roderick Patrick spoke to this point, he began to hesitate and said, "But… the price they laid down is almost five times the value of these lands. That is because they want you to also buy the lives of every wolf-person as well."

"In return, they will recognize the wolf-people as legitimate and legal immigrants of Earth and not pursue the matter of them killing humans on the Glacia continent."

"Personally, I feel the price they laid down is unfair, but it's a good resolution if we want to avoid confrontation with the world government."

"They want me to buy the lives of the wolf-people, who already belongs to me?" Albion narrowed his eyes dangerously with a frown.
