The Grocery Store of Solace is situated in a bustling area, its architecture quite grand. The entire establishment spans three floors, with the first floor covering an impressive area of one thousand square meters, spacious and bright. The second floor is slightly smaller, yet still boasts an area of eight square meters. As for the third floor, it is somewhat unique; it cannot be entirely classified as a third floor, as it consists of a mere two square meters of living space.
According to the previous owner, this place used to serve as the office for the President of the Chamber of Commerce. The interior not only featured a comfortable bed but also included independent bathing facilities.
After John took over the grocery store, he made minimal changes to its internal structure. Currently, he has transformed the first floor into a warehouse and a storefront. Here, he primarily sells two types of goods: one is a special production enhancer from Salty Fish Village, a miraculous potion that significantly boosts crop yields; the other consists of various high-quality Wu Lan products from Salty Fish Village.
Additionally, the store displays a wide array of salted fish products meticulously crafted from catches brought in by Salty Fish Village. Indeed, Salty Fish Village has earned its reputation for mastering the art of producing delicious salted fish.
A series of crisp footsteps echoed down from the third floor; it was John slowly descending the somewhat worn wooden staircase. Luni, who was standing nearby, heard the sound and quickly looked up. Upon seeing his Lord appear, he hurriedly approached without delay.
"My Lord, what brings you down here personally?" Luni asked with an ingratiating smile.
However, John seemed uninterested in responding to Luni's question. He expressionlessly walked around the first floor before stopping and turning to Luni to ask, "Luni, how has business been these past few days? Has anyone come here to cause trouble?"
"Not at all, my Lord! Business has been booming lately! Especially those Plate Armors; they are flying off the shelves! Every Knight Lord who tries them raves about their quality!"
"I've already sent someone back to the territory for urgent restocking. It will take some time for them to return, and we currently have many customers waiting eagerly in line."
Luni animatedly reported on the business situation before shifting gears to discuss recent troubles.
"My Lord, it's those local gangsters again; they keep trying to stir up trouble. Thankfully, with your five loyal guards and Master overseeing things here, they are truly formidable! Whenever those gangsters show their faces, they get dealt with swiftly—left crippled and then sold off to slave traders for cash."
At this point, a proud smile spread across Luni's face.
John nodded slightly in approval. After all, he had left behind five loyal guards along with a powerful Master stationed here. One of them was a Transcendent-level warrior alongside five half-step Super-Vanguards; such high-end combat power was more than sufficient for this place.
Moreover, there were thirty well-trained soldiers on standby outside. Defending such a small Chamber of Commerce was hardly a challenge!
"That's good. I'm just here to inspect things. You need to manage this place well and ensure nothing goes wrong."
Luni's face was plastered with an obsequious smile as he hurriedly expressed his unwavering loyalty. However, deep down, he wasn't entirely willing to be so subservient; after all, true management of the Chamber of Commerce rested with Master Stephen, an Transcendent Knight.
This individual possessed unfathomable strength and commanded great respect; not only was he unmatched in Martial Power but also had considerable expertise in managing the daily operations of the Chamber of Commerce. Faced with such an impressive figure, even if Luni had thoughts of engaging in some underhanded dealings or cooking the books, it would be nothing more than wishful thinking.
Reflecting on his initial ambitions when John first took command—Luni had hoped to swindle money from this boss and make a quick getaway—he found that reality had turned out quite differently than expected. John's business was thriving beyond imagination. Moreover, Luni felt his bulging pockets filled with a generous monthly salary of five gold coins; he simply couldn't bear to give up this lucrative position!
