Lukav entered John's room and sat on the chair without any formalities meanwhile his Butler Duncan greeted John and stood on the side,

John didn't mind it as he already knew about Lukav's personality . Taylor prepared some snacks for Lukav .

Lukav sat leisurely and commented, "Looking at that scumface Robert leaving and your grave face right now, I guess he pulled a fast one over you from the way both of you are reacting . Well, I won't talk about others and since everyone has left now so we can chat in leisure without any headaches . This town of yours has surprised me quite a lot, unlike other domains that I know of . This city of yours is cleaner than the imperial city as I can say this with experience . I wanted to know if you are interested in making a deal with me . "

John seriously said, "May I know what kind of deal would it be before giving my word . However, you can be rest assured that I won't have biases when dealing with anyone, I only make judgments based on my interactions . As for you guess about Bishop Robert you were quite right . I am only going to confirm his news with my men later on . "

Lukav signaled Duncan to bring some documents and spoke about Bishop Robert, "Well, if it is to break up your alliance with Royal Family then you can trust him because he only breaks up alliance via using facts and multiple investigations that help him instilling doubts regarding their partners . Duncan, bring in those documents and brief him on our deal . "

"Well, after watching your papers that were circulating among the academicians at your institute . I guess you have a pretty good source of making them so I hoped to buy those papers and sell them at a premium in the Western part of Aelius kingdom in the Black Market . Although Duke Blackwolf has a lot of power . He can't control the black market that we run . Would you be interested in selling us those papers? From our rumors, A lot of nobles were interested in those smooth white papers so I guess it can pretty much become a luxury item among the upper class, and as we saw an opportunity to raise more funds we hoped to make this deal with you that would also help you cover the western market . And when it comes to the workings of the Black Market in Aelius, no one would claim to be better than us . "

John nodded, "Well that won't be a problem, and as Duke Blackwolf isn't allowing me to penetrate the western market, I might as well take your help since he is already killing our men in the seas via his pirates . "

Duncan only asked him now after completing the previous deal as he thought it would be quite rude if he laid his eyes on the Ballista's straight away, "We are also very much interested in those Ballista's that we saw earlier . So we also wanted to buy those Ballista's I don't know if it is possible?"

John thought a bit as he laid out his conditions, "Hmm . . . If I can get access to more information about Duke Blackwolf and Prince Hector then I won't take anything off the table . "

Duncan looked at Lukav before confirming anything,

Lukav laughed as he saw Duncan, "hahaha, What are you looking at, does this even need my approval . Go on and agree to the deal . I just want to arrive at Hector's banquet and see his face later on . It would be quite amusing to watch his face after this debacle at North-frontier city . "

Lukav then amusingly asked John, "John, previously I heard one of your Slaves killed Evan's Knight Captain Marcus just a few days ago, is it right or these are just some rumors spread by people?"

John smiled as he asked Lukav, "Do you really not know about this incident? Well, he is not my slave but my first knight so I intended to protect even if you or the king wanted to kill him if he was guilty on baseless charges . "
