Chapter 856 Thank You Asong

　　Time- 05:57

　　Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

　　"Madam Asong, would you reconsider your decision if Master Wyatt were to decrease the profit margin such that the processed monster meat is affordable to mortals?" Cole asked Asong.

　　Hearing what Cole had to say, I shook my head and turned to head toward the card lab thinking that I had overestimated Cole. If he hasn't realized the real problem here then there was no point in wasting my time listening to him spout something stupid. 

　　Seeing the young card creationist leave before Asong could even answer, Cole panicked and immediately said, "Master Wyatt, please be patient. You may change your mind after hearing what Madam Asong has to say." 

　　"There is nothing to discuss here, don't waste my time." Saying that I walked but my words seemed to have irked Asong who went out of her way to compromise out of the respect for friendship, Annoyed Asong could not help but call out to me, "Wyatt, is this how it is going to be now? Is this what our friendship meant to you?" 

　　Hearing her classmate's words Anna looked in doubt thinking, 'It hasn't been even a day since you two met, bitch what friendship are you spouting about? At best you two can be considered acquaintances. These sluts in heat, you give them an inch and they take a foot. Sigh, I blame myself for having such a tempting lover, flies are bound to be attracted to him I should have known.' 

　　"..." I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at Asong in disbelief, friendship? Says the person who did not hesitate to lie to me for her convenience, she had no right to drag friendship into this, that was not taking the fact she wants to steal my work for her self-righteous agenda. 

　　"Yes, master Wyatt. Everybody here is a friend. Let us talk it out. Maybe there is a solution to this. We just need to be patient and calm." Seeing the young card creationist stop Cole felt like Asong's words had a positive effect on him and decided to strick will the iron was hot.

　　"Okay, let's talk. Since you guys are bound to waste my time. Let me make it quick by helping you people reach the end conclusion." Saying that I glanced over at Asong, Agatha, and Cole adding, "You guys are looking at it wrong. The problem here is not the Asong but Fair Pricing Act. I am rather thankful to Asong for pointing it out to me." 

　　"I did what?" Being thanked by the young card creationist Asong was dumbfounded. She felt with what she was going to do to him he should hate her deep in his bones. But contrary to her expectation the young card creationist not only did not hold any grudge towards her instead he thanked her. 

　　"What?" Agatha did not understand why the young card creationist wasn't blaming Asong and instead thanked her. If it was her she would have displayed her anger physically to the bitch who was plotting to steal her golden goose. 

　　"Sigh, you guys. What I mean by the problem being the fair pricing act and not Asong is that even if Asong were to let go of this matter, someone else will use the fair pricing act to get their hands on the multi-armed butcher card's recipe. My card is just that good. With the profits that it is bound to bring in, it will be coveted by various forces who will think of different ways to get their hands on the multi-armed butcher card recipe. And it will not be long before they realize they can use the fair pricing act to legally get their hands on the recipe of the multi-armed butcher card. So, yeah there is nothing to discuss here." This was one of the reasons I was calm despite all that was going on. 

　　Meanwhile, I could not help but reevaluate Asong as a politician because if it were me in her place I would have leaked the information about the multi-armed butcher card to other greedy politicians who would do the job for me, this way I would get what I wanted without having to break any strings in the process. But Asong did the total opposite, she not only straightforwardly told her plan but was willing to be the bad guy for her self-righteous idea of serving the people. I don't remember any politician as stupid as her. No wonder the Supreme leader was able to assassinate her- now I don't mean those words but that's me venting, I may be acting calm but I was indeed a bit taken aback by Asong's cold-hearted move.

　　"I see," hearing my explanation Cole and Agatha nodded in understanding. Anybody could see that the multi-armed butcher cards were gooses that laid golden eggs. So if not Asong then somebody else would use the fair pricing act to get the multi-armed butcher card recipe public. So there was no point in discussing this further or blaming Asong. 

　　"Does that mean we are good?" Asong asked the young card creationist. Even though the brilliant expression on her face clearly stated that she knew the answer.

　　"By good, if you mean you still owe me 10 A-rank rare and regulated card ingredients from the government treasury then yes," I said and then planned to leave.

　　Hearing the young card creationist Asong's expression froze and soon they become heavy understanding meaning behind his words, 'Except for the 10 A-rank rare and regulated card ingredients from the government treasury you owe me we have nothing between us.' 

　　The young card creationist couldn't be clearer, the friendship that she thought they had was no longer there and what was left was a mere business transaction. 

　　Looking at Asong's expression Anna felt an unknown satisfaction, she values their friendship but not enough to share her love with her friend. If her lover had not made their relationship clear to her friend, Anna was planning to visit the central capital to remind her friend to keep a distance from her man.
