Chapter 318: 249. It is ok, he is only rude on the outside.

Dwayne smiled and spoke, "Thank you very much, your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

John nodded as he spoke, "It's okay. Investing in Blue Paradise is your personal decision and since you had an interest in it I only made it easier for you to get a stake in it. For now, You can leave and go to the party. I may call you in the future for further consultations if you don't mind."

"Yes, your majesty."

Dwayne almost made a fist pump when he heard John but he kept his calm as he nodded and left for the party.

He thought as he left, 'This time I can influence the trajectory and avoid the problems which Sky would have faced previously. This time I will also try to influence the bad M&As of Blue Paradise so that the expansion is good and efficient. However, I need to be careful and not offend Queen Diana, Queen Eva, Queen Sally, Queen Josephine and others. Especially Queen Maeen, I heard that she was quite ruthless at that event.'

After Dwayne left, Sarah spoke again inside John's mind as he called Quill, [After further analysis, It is highly advised that the host doesn't plagiarize the literature of your own world for your safety. Even though you translate the literature and change names, it still doesn't change the themes. So it is better to let literature rise by itself and hence avoid trouble.]

John thought and asked, 'Ok, I won't plagiarize from my World and rather buy the literature from the system. Happy? Anyway, why can't he be a reincarnator and why instead he is a Time-traveler.'

[Analysis failure, no information on reincarnation. He is definitely a time-traveler. At least his soul is definitely a time-traveler. This is proven by the fact his soul is mutated. Please provide more information on souls and magic so that the system can come to a better conclusion]

John sighed and muttered, "Anyway, let's call Plato and finish that the minutes of the previous deal."

Quill came inside John's office as he smiled and spoke, "That guy Dwayne must have given you very valuable information as you decided to give him 6% of the state's stake right now at this time."

John too smiled and spoke, "It's ok, I am just cultivating good citizens. A small reward is nothing in front of the long-term macro interests of Sky which may decide the future. Btw, We will be focusing more on food research. The focus of research will be to reengineer food so as to enhance the physical abilities of humans, demons and other species. So try investing more in this department. And also increase background checks on new entertainment companies. And yes, increase surveillance on Prince, it seems he may try to pull something in the future. Report to me about his movements all the time. And even his butler Aliaster's movements."

Quill nodded as he noted and spoke, "I guess the information provided by that Dwayne guy is related to Prince Hector and to put an increase in food research. Ok, I will personally monitor it. Are there any other things which we need to note your Majesty?"

John looked at his memo and spoke, "Try to find out about the movements of Prince Charlie as well. And yes, bring in Anin and then later Plato so that we can conclude our important talks. As for Baron Mendez, is he present for today's signing ceremony or not?"

Quill smiled as he took out the documents and spoke, "Ok, I will try to keep track of the movements of Prince Charlie. And Yes, Baron Mendez arrived just today. Lord Plato was quite bitter when he saw him and protested to us immediately via the embassy that he shouldn't be allowed as they didn't the Baron citing Mendez's current identity as a Baron of Aelius. In return for allowing him to attend the ceremony, he is requesting to meet General Endo before the meeting deal. Of course, I have quashed his request immediately. The important thing is that this time princess Rona has also arrived to meet you in Person to conclude the talks. She is the youngest sister of Queen Cecilia."

John thought as he nodded and spoke, "It's ok, she too can come as she would most probably have executive authority. I guess she is here for some benefits as well as the prisoners of her faction. Bring in Anin first."

Quill nodded and spoke with a serious expression, "What about those guests from far lands? Do you have any other instructions for Grey, Duex, Mad Berserker and others? They are currently keeping an eye on their movements with the binoculars and our spy merchants. Currently, they are near the square."

John smiled mysteriously and spoke, "No need to worry, Master Vlad will guide them and take care of those intruders appropriately. If we start a commotion already before the ceremony then it will affect us badly. Plus I want to see what are they up to right now. And Yes, try to get a stake in Power Capital for our state companies."

Quill nodded as he noted and left.

Meanwhile, after Dwayne arrived at the party with a contract to show his shareholders. He gave the contract of Blue Paradise's stake to his secretary and immediately went to meet Mist. This movement was noticed by Maeen as well.

Mist sighed and thought, 'Why is he so obvious when meeting me. And why does he trust me so much? Is there something wrong in his brain?'

Mist sighed and spoke to Dwayne, "Looking at your happy expression, it seems that the meeting was very fruitful."

Dwayne nodded and spoke, "Yes, I had informed Majesty John about the attack and he was quite calm so I guess he already knows about the attack."

Dwayne then narrated the whole conversation to Mist and Alison.

Mist thought quite thoroughly after he heard about the conversation between Dwayne and John and spoke, "You had such a long conversation with his Majesty John even during this important period, it seems he valued your opinion quite highly or else such amount of time would only be granted after today's signing ceremony as there is very little time today. One more thing, there are quite a lot of loopholes in your excuse when you told him about Merchant spies and your Uncle's connection with Radiant Church as Ghosts have far greater resources and I saw that a lot of new people came in only now after his Majesty concluded his meeting with Prince Bidder. See, even Dearil has come and is instructing people about today's arrangements. Well, he didn't dig, I guess he thinks that you didn't want to reveal your sources or he may be thinking something else. In any case, you are lucky even after lying on his face. I guess he could see your sincerity in saving people and hence ignored it."

Dwayne gasped as he heard Mist and thought, 'It seems, his majesty was quite benevolent. I better not answer those types of questions in the future which may raise his doubts.'

Mist then spoke, "Anyways, don't try to socialize with me so much in front of people or else people would start making suspicions knowing my nature of being unsociable. Make an appointment so I am prepared."

Dwayne nodded as he left and thought, 'It's ok, he is only rude on the outside. When it matters the most. He is the one who protects the people.'
