The villain's side of the novel

Chapter 49 Lionar Kingdom (1)

After a week

In the past few days, a lot of rumors about Iskar city and the Prada family have spread all over the continent and most of them were not positive rumors, high taxes, exorbitant prices, weird currency...etc. But the rumor that angered everyone who heard it was that the Prada family had a solution to the problem of food shortages that the continent suffers from, but instead of spreading the solution to the rest of humanity and saving countless lives, they decided to use it for their benefit and keep it a secret.

Meanwhile, in Prada Palace

"Sir, we have finally been able to cover the food shortages of the city, at this moment the price of all the food products has been reduced by more than half, which means that even the lower class of the population of Iskar city can obtain quality nutrition," said Anas Prada with a respectful expression as he stood in front of a huge wooden desk.

On the other side of the desk, Fray was sitting in a luxurious chair listening to Anas's report while reading several paper documents. According to this document, thanks to Giam's recent efforts, the fishing area in Iskar waters has been greatly expanded after the number of monsters in Iskar's waters has been reduced, although the fishing territory is still small compared to the huge sea of ??Iscar City, this is still a good start, As Fray still researches Don's body to re-apply his bloodline skill into runes. using this skill it will be easier for Iskar City to control the sea monsters to reduce their threat. As for the Organic fertilizer, it really exceeded all expectations, thanks to the energy in the air of this world it achieved even better results than the fertilizer in Yassine's world. Thus, the Agricultural productivity of Iskar city increased by 439 ? in this short period.

"Now, we have a surplus from the fertilizer in recent days, I think that it is time to start the export process. As we have already received many good offers from the interested cities," Anas.

"No, not yet," Fray said briefly and took another document and start examining it carefully

This document was a report from Idar. In fact, Idar still did not start extracting in large quantities, but he has already managed to extract a large amount of energy crystal over the past few days and by using Prada commercial hall he was able to sell the majority of the stock he extracted due to the huge demand and he was able to refill the treasury of the Commercial hall again and he already compensate the amount he spent on buying the mine.

After he finished reading the document he slowly put it on the desk and turned towards Anas and extended a heavy folder to him and said, "This is the fertilizer export business plan, you and Idar will be in charge of this project."

"Oh! Alright, sir." Anas took the folder from Fray's hand with a doubting expression. He didn't understand why the fertilizer export need a business plan so big. So, out of his curiosity, he decided to read the first chapter which is a summary of the business plan to get an idea about the project, as soon as his eyes fell on The summary he opened his eyes in surprise.

(This!?... He wants to control the food productivity of the Continent) Anas thought as he looked at Fray who had already ignored his presence and began to read another document in awe. Anas is the type of person who does not fear strength but intelligence. He has always believed that an intelligent person is far more dangerous than a strong one, and now when he looked at Fray he was really frightened at the idea that he was hostile to this man a month ago.

"Okay, you can leave," said Fray, without taking his eyes off the documents he was reading.

"Oh! Okay sir, goodbye," Anas said respectfully and then left the office quickly.

After Anas left, Fray plunged into his work again, because he had to complete many paper works before going to Lionar Kingdom, where a huge crisis would arise in the next few days. In the novel, this event will affect the entire human continent and will cause huge losses to humanity, although the protagonist intervened in the event, he was unable to prevent it, all he could do was make its impacts less dangerous. Fray originally did not want to interfere in the events of the novel. He had a way to deal with the effects of the accident, and he was planning to use it to protect Iskar City. But Fray's plans changed after he learned that Luke did not actually go to the Lionar kingdom as originally happened in the novel, but he instead came to Iskar city to deal with the dungeon, even Fray himself cannot predict what will happen to humanity if Luke does not mitigate the power of that disaster, it may even cause the extinction of humans. So Fray don't have a choice but to step in.

Knock Knock Knock

Suddenly Fray heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

"Sir, everyone is ready to go. Are you ready?" Montaser asked after entering the room

"Yes, I'm ready, let's go," said Fray, then put the documents on his desk, got up from his chair, and followed Montaser.

On the way, Fray and Montaser discuss several pending works that Montaser will take care of while Fray away. Until they reached the first floor of the palace where they met an unexpected person standing near the inner palace gate.

"Mother!?" said Fray briefly as he looked at a pretty-looking woman with dark black hair standing at the door with her maid behind her.

"I heard you're going out on another mission," Isabel said in a weak voice, looking at the ground and moving strangely

(What is happening?) Fray thought as he looked at Isabel's strange movements with an uncomfortable expression.

"Do you want to ask for Erma's release again?" Fray asked. As this is the only conclusion he comes to after seeing Isabel's actions.

"Oh! No, no, not really... I just wanted to say good luck in your mission," Isabel muttered, forcing herself to look into Fray's eyes.

"!!!" Fray and even Montaser were surprised by Isabel's words that they suspected they might be dreaming, but Fray quickly regained his composure after coming to a certain conclusion.

(It must be another strange strategy to make me release Erma) Fray thought, refusing to believe that Isabel's farewell to him was in good faith. As he still remembers the look his mother looked at him when he needed her the most. So Fray replied in an emotionless voice, "Thank you."

Then he ignored Isabel's presence and continued his way toward the outer door of the palace where Adam and the others were waiting for him in front of a large white Portal.

While Isabelle stayed there with her maid Nesrin for a long time looking at the sky with wet eyes.
