Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459 - 1444: Sky Wing Trading Company

Inside the Sky-reaching Trading Company, in a Silent Chamber where several layers of Spiritual Power Barrier were set up, Manager Yany Chi was still discussing with his brother-in-law Shopkeeper Ma, who looked on in utter shock.

"Think about it, if there is truly a brand new Little World, what magnitude of benefits does that represent? Even if we obtain only one or two percent of it, the profits would be tens of thousands of times better than what we gain in this trading company, right?"

"Tens of thousands of times..." At this moment, Shopkeeper Ma’s mind seemed a bit overwhelmed, and even his voice stuttered, "Brother-in-law, so what are you implying?"

Watching Shopkeeper Ma’s timid appearance, Manager Yany sighed silently. Frankly, if there were someone else he could completely trust, he definitely wouldn’t have disclosed this matter to his rather mediocre brother-in-law.

However, he had no choice. This brother-in-law of his hailed from a noble family on an island, had average skills, but was commanding a number of followers who responded to his directives seamlessly.

He, as the main manager of the Sky-reaching Trading Company, might seem imposing normally, but it was all due to the backing of the owners.

With the backing of the owners, he could act with impunity, but without it, he’d achieve nothing.

His position as the main manager, wielding considerable power in the Sky-reaching Trading Company, was due to his capability, but the owners were also quite wary of him.

Thus, for such a significant matter, he could only choose his brother-in-law to handle it.

"This matter involves significant interests. If I were to use the staff from the Sky-reaching Trading Company for upcoming actions, there’s an overwhelming chance the owners would find out.

If the owners become aware, then such enormous benefits would have nothing to do with us. So, I intend to utilize your family’s manpower!"

"No problem, just say how many people you need, brother-in-law!" Shopkeeper Ma patted his chest confidently.

"They must be trustworthy. The cultivation level must be at least at the Middle-Late Stage of Divine Communication, preferably at the Dark Palace Realm. Remember, this matter must not be publicized!

What I’ve just mentioned is known only by heaven, earth, you, and me!" Manager Yany pointed to the sky and ground with a mysterious look on his face, then his expression turned serious, "If you leak this, we won’t only miss a potential fortune; our lives might be..."

Shopkeeper Ma’s expression turned solemn as he said, "Rest assured, brother-in-law, not a word of this will escape me."

As Manager Yany and Shopkeeper Ma concluded their conversation in the Spiritual Power Barrier-enhanced Silent Chamber, at a corner of Chaotic Sky Island, Big Ears, who was in listening mode with his ears rapidly vibrating at a barely perceptible frequency, suddenly trembled with shock and his expression became exceptionally stunned.

However, soon afterward, Big Ears’ expression became extremely conflicted.

After standing conflicted for a while, Big Ears sighed deeply and smiled bitterly to himself, "What use is having Divine Skills and knowing so many secrets?"

"This kind of matter is absolutely not one I can get involved in! If I rashly involve myself, I might not even know how I would die! Even if I sell the intelligence to others, those receiving the intelligence might kill me to silence me..."

After heaving several long sighs, Big Ears shook his head and, with his rather large ears shaking, headed towards the inn where Ye Zhen was staying.

If Ye Zhen knew that Manager Yany, after a brief sounding out, had roughly inferred that he might have a brand new Little World behind him just from the goods flow he reported.

Then, even if beaten, Ye Zhen definitely wouldn’t have been wandering around Chaotic Sky Island like a headless fly trying to find a way to supply goods.

Unfortunately, Ye Zhen knew nothing of all this upon returning to the inn.

However, not long after Ye Zhen returned to the inn, Big Ears came once again to the inn and invited Ye Zhen out.

"Young Master, I found a supplier. Their prices should be quite favorable, and they are also very financially strong!" Big Ears, very straightforward upon entering, nonetheless looked at Ye Zhen with a slightly peculiar gaze, though this peculiar expression was quickly withdrawn, leaving Ye Zhen noticing nothing unusual.

"Oh, where are they?"

"Back to the Young Master, they are based at the docks. If you wish to make contact, I can take you there now!" Big Ears suggested.

"Lead the way then!"

Chaotic Sky Island sees countless ships passing by, not only from the Great Zhou Human Clan but also from the Demon Clan, notably thriving in the slave trade, drawing a sizable number of ships.

In this situation, the island also boasts a significant number of docks.

Originally, not every location was suitable for dock construction, but for Martial Artists of great capability, if it’s unsuitable, they transform it until it suits their needs.

This results in Chaotic Sky Island having a dock every hundred miles, filled with ships like clouds and massive vessels over a kilometer long, visible everywhere.

Without acquaintances, finding a spot here could be very challenging.

Along the way, Ye Zhen saw quite a few from the Demon Clan. Although the Demon Clan’s conduct was as domineering as ever, even when passing by Human Clan merchants here, they neither clashed nor dared to provoke.

Harmony breeds wealth, and perhaps this is how it came about.

A constant stream of low-level demons, especially those demons known for their extreme beauty like the Kui Demon and Snake Demon, and those suited for rapid mining like the Earth Digger Demon, were driven up and sent in batches to the slave trading market.

A considerable number of slaves from various races, especially female human slaves, were herded onto ships, their vacant and lifeless eyes making Ye Zhen feel somewhat helpless.

"Young Master, we’ve arrived. The owner of this giant ship is here to purchase Red Yin Grass and Flowstone Vine, and you can directly negotiate with them.

However, Young Master, during the negotiation, it’s best to do so in the Silent Chamber opposite the pier. Do not board the ship! Those who can come here are no good kinds; on the island, there are at least rules to hold them in check, but once you’re on their ship, anything could happen!" Big Ears cautioned.

Nodding, Ye Zhen used a jade scroll to scribble an invitation and handed it to the guard of the big ship.

Having hit a wall on Chaotic Sky Island for so long, Ye Zhen had learned his lesson. In the invitation, Ye Zhen’s identity was simplified as the Second Shopkeeper of Sky Wing Trading Company, Di Kuohai, with a note on the back about Sky Wing Trading Company’s specialties - Red Yin Grass and Flowstone Vine!

The two guards at the bow of the giant ship were at the late stage of the Divine Communication Realm. Ye Zhen estimated that with guards at such a level, the Huayang must have a master of the Realm King Realm onboard.

Evidently, Ye Zhen was not a customer of this Huayang. In front of him, the two guards examined the invitation and, after just a glance, the left guard muttered, "Oh, so quickly? We just arrived an hour ago, and a merchant already..."

"Stop the chit-chat, hurry and report on the items the master needs!" the other guard urged.

This casual conversation between the two guards made Ye Zhen’s eyes flicker.

There is mystery in this transaction.

From this guard’s unintentional leak, it seemed this giant ship had only arrived at Chaotic Sky Island an hour ago, without starting any commercial activities, and its owner hadn’t even disembarked. How did Big Ears know Red Yin Grass and Flowstone Vine were on their purchase list?

Even if Big Ears remembered their ship, it wouldn’t work.

Although Ye Zhen wasn’t much versed in commerce, he knew that trade caravans’ goods varied frequently, often kept secretive.

How did Big Ears know in this case?

Before Ye Zhen could think it through, an elder who appeared to be a butler rushed down from the giant ship towards him, bowing with a beaming smile when he met Ye Zhen. "I am Hua Zhong, meeting Manager Di! Please forgive the delay. Our Young Master has had a long and tiring journey to Chaotic Sky Island, so he just rested for a while.

After freshening up, he will come to meet the Shopkeeper, and he specially sent me to invite you over for tea!"

Ye Zhen knew that this Housekeeper Hua’s politeness was mostly due to the Red Yin Grass and Flowstone Vine.

However, Ye Zhen also detected a few clues from Housekeeper Hua’s words.

The owner of this giant ship indeed hadn’t left it, and they had arrived only to rest, without starting any business yet. How did Big Ears know of their purchase list?

Despite his suspicion, Ye Zhen could only respond.

"In that case, Housekeeper Hua, I’ll wait for your Young Master at the teahouse on the pier." Ye Zhen recalled Big Ears’ advice, not to board the ship.

"I understand, but our Young Master instructed not to slight Manager Di at all, so please wait a moment while I arrange the entire teahouse and make some adjustments!"

With that, Housekeeper Hua motioned, leading a group of maids flying toward a teahouse opposite. Under Ye Zhen’s astonished gaze, the maids quickly began replacing the teahouse’s utensils and laying down fine-quality carpets, while the teahouse owner joyfully counted spirit stones at the door.

"They’re truly particular!"

With a sigh, Ye Zhen was ushered into the reserved teahouse by Housekeeper Hua.

"Manager Di, how much Red Yin Grass and Flowstone Vine can you supply? Are there 3,000 plants?" Housekeeper Hua inquired first.

"Three thousand plants?" Ye Zhen’s expression flickered, "Is the purchase amount only 3,000 plants?"

Hearing this, Housekeeper Hua’s eyes lit up, "So, do you have plenty of these spiritual medicines? If there are more, the specific amount depends on our Young Master..."

"No need to say, we’ll take as much Red Yin Grass as you have!" an appealing voice suddenly came from outside the door, as a white-clad woman entered the silent chamber, lifting the beaded curtain.

"Young Master, this is Manager Di from Sky Wing Trading Company! Manager Di, this is our Young Master, Hua..."

Before Housekeeper Hua could finish introductions, there was suddenly a commotion outside the teahouse door, "Get out, there’s no place on Chaotic Sky Island that I, Manager Yany of the Sky-reaching, cannot enter!"

Ye Zhen’s expression changed sharply; it was the voice of Manager Yany from the Sky-reaching!
