The Martial Unity

816 Counter-Op



"Huff…" Guildmaster Bradt heaved a sigh as he leaned back on his chair. Ever since he had forged an agreement and a partnership with Rui, he had been tremendously busy with diplomatic and management work. Although it was true that the Voider was the fundamental reason for the large sales that Esosale Suppliers had made, it was also true that the services that he and his company provided to Esosale Suppliers were considerable, they had almost become part of the company itself while still maintaining themselves as separate partners.

That was why Rui did not even try bargaining for more than fifty percent, it would be an insult to the Bradt Distribution Services, and more importantly, it would reveal that he didn't think highly of them.

However, that also meant that Guildmaster Bradt had received an abrupt increase in workload. He had quickly set up an entirely new department in his company dedicated to Esosale Suppliers. This was a privilege that only a limited number of companies had, these companies needed to be big enough and deeply partnered enough for the company to assign an entire division tasked to manage the affairs related to one company.

Guildmaster Bradt had actively put this company in that category immediately since he knew that this company had the same merits as the ones that had their own divisions as well. He quickly found competent staff and assigned an experienced manager who would be able to handle the rush hour that he knew would be coming to Esosale Suppliers soon enough.

And he was right, the moment he promoted Esosale Suppliers through the brand of his own Distribution Services, many customers immediately placed orders for supplies from Esosale Suppliers despite the fact that it was completely unknown and a clearly a shell company to anyone who had eyes and looked into it.

Yet people still flocked to it and placed orders for supplies of esoteric resources, even going as far as to pay advances. All of this came from the Bradt Distribution Services' credibility. People believed that the Bradt Distribution Services which had a truly stellar reputation for credibility and reliability would not aggressively promote a scam. That would ruin their reputation forever.

Of course, Guildmaster Bradt did not make promises that he could not be sure of, he may have had a working partnership with each other, however, neither side trusted the other, and both sides were aware of this.

Guildmaster Bradt only made single-sale transactions with customers and expressed refusal to sign any long-term supplier contracts on behalf of Esosale Suppliers. After all, how could he be sure that Rui would continue supplying at a steady rate regularly? He could not.

The Voider could very well abandon their partnership at any given time and vanish into thin air and Guildmaster Bradt most likely would not be able to do anything about it. After all, he neither knew his identity nor his location nor did he hold any major leverage over Rui barring perhaps his income. However, that was not much leverage since Guildmaster Bradt did not want to sully his reputation, which would affect the reputation of his company which was known for being credible and reliable.

Thus he could not leverage it by blatantly blackmailing Rui with money that he lawfully owned. If Rui decided to go public, everything that Guildmaster Bradt had spent his life building would collapse in a day.

The revenue that Esosale SUppliers was not worth that, not even close.

Thus he kept his distance and did not promise anything, all sales were made after Rui restocked the inventory by giving them the esoteric supplies that Rui had harvested, using the method that they discussed.

Still, even with the reduced capital, his work load had increased, a lot causing a lot of his days to grow even more densely packed with matter he needed to handle.

"Sir, there's an urgent report from the intelligence department," His secretary informed him.

"Hm?" Guildmaster Bradt turned to face her with narrowed eyes. "What is it?"

"It's related to Chairman Deacon and his recent measures, sir," She replied, placing the documents on the table.

Guildmaster Bradt immediately grabbed them and began reading through them, before making a preliminary analysis.

"So… he's already charted out an operation to gather information on the twelfth floor," Guildmaster Bradt mused. "Once the Voider gets past the twelfth floor, and moves onto a newer frontier, it will be a long time before Chairman Deacon gets a hold on his position because due to the fact that there is only one target left," Guildmaster Bradt mused. "Sixteen Martial Squires are not bad, but there is only one S-rank, fourteen A-ranks, and even a B-rank, who is no doubt going to be entirely useless to them."

He already had verified the sense of danger that the Voider gave off to his direct subordinate Martial Squires was correlated to the upper ends of what an S-rank martial Squire was capable of. That meant that only the sole S-rank hunter-class Martial Squire of the Voidhunters at the moment had a chance of defeating the Voider, the way he saw it.

And she probably didn't stand a real chance was his prediction.

Still, it was quite likely in his eyes that the Voider was unaware of these plans, and the two of them had decided that direct communication was to be used as sparingly as possible, Guildmaster Bradt could not simply choose to ignore this. He needed to find a way to ensure that this operation did not get the best of the Voider, therefore he could not avoid leaving this alone.

"Draft up a new operation," He ordered his secretary.

"Would you like me to register it in the books of the Bradt Distribution Services, sir?"

"No, keep it unofficial, I don't want word of this leaking out to that bastard Deacon."

"Yes sir, as for the operation…"

Guildmaster Bradt considered his words for a moment. "The objective will be to annihilate the Voidhunters before the predicted time of the Voider.
