"Jill Norley, don't act ignorant. You and I both know that your buyers would not be willing to pay a fortune for my patent and shares related to silver milk powder if they were really worthless," I snapped at Jill for continuing to try and take advantage of me.

"Fine, don't sell those worthless patents and shares, when they actually become worthless don't come running to me crying. I warned you, my part is done here. And thank you for informing me that your people will not be coming, there is nothing left to talk so hang up the call," Jill did not agree that she was trying to take advantage of me instead she continued to act as if she was looking out for me.

"Wait, what did you mean by that 'when they actually become worthless,' Jill speak, what do you know?" I asked feeling that the wording that Jill used sounded suspicious.

"Well, I did not tell you this, but a few sound mind world leaders who do not want to monopolize silver milk powder have decided that when the silver beach gate dungeon is retrieved from freedom fighters, they will confiscate it for the greater good of the humanity and make silver milk powder available for everyone at the cheapest possible rate," Jill was not lying she spoke the truth.

"Wait, how do you know that? Impossible, the southern royal family will not agree to this," The secret information that Jill revealed came as a huge shock to me. If what she said really were to happen then not only my shares but the southern royal family's shares would be worthless in the future like Jill said.

"Umm, give me a second to encrypt this call," hearing Jill say that I asked in concern, "Wait, are my calls being monitored?"

"I don't know, you can never be sure. After all, the freedom fighter incident has pushed you into the spotlight. So it is better to be safe than sorry," Jill was not sure but she could not risk revealing what she was going to say next.

Due to the actions of the freedom fighters now the world knew that silver milk powder was real, turning my reputation as a fraudster into that of a genius.

Once the call was encrypted Jill put forward the truth as she knew, "I heard that from my father, believe me, if he says something will happen then it will happen. As for the southern royal family, if they had not lost the silver beach gate dungeon, they could have kept their exclusive right to produce and supply the silver milk powder at the price agreed upon by all the world leaders however they did not, showing that they are not up to such a task, leaving no room for themselves to fight against this.

Right now allied forces think that they will be able to monopolize the silver milk powder after they retrieved the silver beach gate dungeon, that is because the card apprentices at the top with the real decision-making power want them to believe that and spare no effort in retrieving silver beach gate dungeon from the rebels, the freedom fighters.

Believe me, the reason humanity can enjoy the current long peace, progress, and development is because of the powerful people with the greater picture in mind stepping in when things seem dark. Otherwise, the five regions would be plagued with civil wars one after another, not to forget the nefarious Empire.

Once the allied forces retrieve the silver beach gate dungeon, soon silver milk powder will become the right of every human walking this world, including those in the Empire, and you will be awarded a medal for your merit in discovering how to create silver milk powder and willingly donating it for the greater good of the humanity. This is happening, forget the southern royal family, even the group of greedy world leaders in the allied forces who want to buy your patent and shares will not be able to stop it."

"Who the heck is your father?" I asked Jill as what she revealed to me was the top secret of the highest order, even the world leaders of the allied forces were not aware of this. And to think that 'For the greater good of Humanity' was going to screw me again. It already has become an obstacle for my meat processing project and now it was about to claim the silver milk powder, I can't believe this.

This was unfair but I was used to this, as the same thing happened back on earth when my project to help my aircraft or drones explore the terrain for resources without being detected by my competitor's satellites showed some progress, the army, backed by the government, confiscated my project and I could do nothing. They wanted me to help them complete the project but I did not agree, considering my project's possible military applications. However, as a cost, I had to give up on that project.

"My father would like to introduce himself as a sinner trying to atone for his sins, but I like to introduce him as the best dad in the world," when it came to speaking about her father Jill spoke proudly, showing that she was a daddy's girl.

"..." I cannot understand how Jill was able to find in herself the strength to overcome the fact that her mom died due to her father experimenting on her and forgiving him. It must be because her father was really a changed person as Jill advertised.

"So, now you know what I know, what do you plan to do with the patent and shares related to silver milk powder in your hand?" Jill asked.

"I don't know yet," I felt that Jill was not lying to me but one can never be certain, so I decided to talk to Anna and Ann about this before making a decision.

"Come on, what can I say or do so that you will trust me?" Jill asked in irritation, now she was regretting trying to take advantage of the boy earlier seeing how he could not bring herself to trust her when she told the whole truth.

"Nothing, I trust you, that is why I promise you that if I ever think of selling the patent and shares related to silver milk powder then it will be through you, but this promise is not free you will have to fork something out," Regardless of my doubts, the information Jill shared with me alone was worth me promising her to use her as the broker if I ever planned to sell the patent and shares related to silver milk powder.

"Great, I will take your word for it. In return, I help admit you into the Morningstar university using my privileges and when your people can, I will help them move and settle into the central academic region. Are you satisfied?" Having figured out where I needed her help Jill used it to negotiate with me.

"Deal," I enthusiastically agreed to Jill's offer being offered what I wanted. I could apply for the morningstar university like regular students but considering my disagreements with the southern royal family, I figured that ship has sailed. I don't know if the southern royal family would stoop so low but I was not willing to risk a year of my life to see if they were.

Seeing how Jill did not try to screw me over and stepped up when it actually mattered I said, "Jill Norley, today you have made the wisest choice of your life. One day you will understand why."
