Sam doesn't know that he is in the eyes of someone at the top. An existence he didn't even know of.

He knew that he would attract some attention from the higher-ups since he made them take so much money out of them. But he didn't expect that there would be attention from Raunak's side and he didn't even know that he already grabbed that attention.

Currently, he is sitting with his friends and all four of them have crystal glasses filled with rum in front of them.

They are silent and occasionally taking a sip and savoring the alcohol.

Sam soon broke the silence.

"Let's put your journey on hold until the next Palace of inheritance.

There is around two years for the next Palace of inheritance and from the looks of things we might find ourselves staying in this place for a significant part of time.

We can think of it after that."

All three of them looked at him for a second and exchanged glances in confusion.

Sam chuckled and said.

"I am not changing my mind. I am still extremely adamant on you going on a trip. But I know what you are afraid of. The world is too vast. There is a significant chance that we might drift apart. So, I would think of a way for us to find each other easily in the future and then we can discuss it.

For now, let us focus on what you want to do for the next few days. You seemed to have had a significant experiences travelling all over the planet."

"I noticed a lot of interesting things. The whole area I travelled is full of fields. Particularly this one area full of cotton fields. There is also cotton ginning factory and yarn making factory. Many men and women work there and even some children work for it.

The cotton is being made to yarn, then fabric and then clothes that could be used normally instead a normal armor. The cotton is also extremely flexible and with the right influence during its growth, it can develop the attributes of different elements.

They are mostly using for the attachments of the armors though. After all the hides are not always aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Particularly these elves and they use this cotton fabric to pad the insides of the metal armor which makes it comfortable for the wearers."

Watt started explaining about his journey. Jack and Philip are surprised a bit. They didn't know how to break the ice with Sam, but Watt helped them do it.

So, they also started talking about all their experiences. Sam just sipped his rum and listened to them talking.

He learned about so many things about this planet.

These guys just went to every corner and met all kinds of people. They noticed all kinds of agriculture that is going all over the planet.

Sam thought that they are mostly focused on normal crops that are mostly related to food. But there are commercial crops as well.

There is an equivalent to turmeric here that is extremely useful in making inscription ink that are useful for wooden elemental inscriptions and also in form of a spice that could add some value to the cooked food and finally it can also be used as an ingredient in medicine.

In some places there is another thing similar to potato, sweet potato and some more bulb and starchy vegetables.

This is extremely surprising to him. This uncanny resemblance is making him feel a bit curious about the origin of this world.

The resemblance is extremely uncanny to the point that it is almost scary.

While he is talking to them, Raunak sent the resource list of the whole planet and it is almost unnecessary at this point.

When he went through the list he couldn't help but sigh.

"I think we are not going to part from the liquor business anytime soon. But this might be a bit troublesome."

"Why? Last time it worked well. We also raked in more than we expected."

"And that is the problem. There must be several eyes on us by now and some people might even be plotting against us to get our money. I am sure that if we are alone in the forest now, we would be done for. If I am not right, there are at least ten people trying to kill us and take everything that we have on us."

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Let's put on a show and find out. I would try to mess with the alcohol business once again and see to what lengths they would go to maintain their balance.

Our next project will be related to the rice again."

This time, Sam didn't want to start another brewery though. He would just inform the other parties about the product in his hands.

He went to meet with the ape to make the rice wine after giving enough instructions while he started preparing vodka from the potatoes that are available in this place.

This time, the resources extended a bit and he managed to get everything he wanted easily and with the help of the extra time the divine dimension provided, the products are ready within a week.

Sam informed Ragad and Ananya.

But to his surprise Ragad didn't agree to the auction. He didn't want to bid for the alcohol recipes and this gave Ananya to have a bit more leverage to ask for a lower price.

"Your good days are over Mr.Sam. It seems like someone felt like you are overreaching a bit and decided to put a stop to your advances. You cannot be as rampant as before." Ananya said with a smile as she sat on the chair with her arms crossed."

Sam opened the bottle of Vodka and poured some for her before pouring some for him and said.

"Stopping my advances?"

"We can talk about that later. We can discuss the business first."

"Sure thing. Please have a taste and tell me what you want to offer."

She nodded and was about to take a sip, but Sam gestured her to stop and said.

"I think you would feel the real taste of it, if you drank it in one gulp."

"Sure."

She did as he told and her eyes widened in disbelief. The Vodka is one of the hardest liquors on normal earth, one must wonder what kind of experience it is giving when it was made with potatoes full of spiritual energy.

She immediately shook her head and covered her surprise as that would be a disadvantageous thing to do in a business negotiation.

She then went to the rice wine which is far milder compared to Vodka and the familiar and enriching after taste of the rice along with the feeling of the alcohol is fascinating to her.

"Five hundred million for both of them combined." She spoke immediately as she tried to control her emotions.

"One billion for each of them." Sam gave a counter.

As he did that, he took out a jar of fruit juice that has similar taste to that of a ripe mango and poured it into a glass and mixed it with Vodka before creating a small ice cube in his hand and placing it in the glass.

He them pushed the glass to her.

Ananya reluctantly took the glass over and drank it. Her eyes widened once again and she pursed her lips in contemplation.

"One billion for both of them. The deal is off if I have to go more than that."

"Really? Don't threaten men with that Ms. Ananya."

"I am not threatening. You are being a bit too greedy. Don't you think it is weird that no one from the faction 1 came here for such a good alcohol? Why do you think that? You have no idea what kind of position you are in and what kind of people are involved in this."

"Oh really? Then why did you not think why I didn't proceed with another brewery and take the same strategy as before. Do you think anything is stopping me from doing that? As far as I know, if I take Raunak's special permit, I don't even need to go through the regular administrative procedures and here I am talking a deal with you.

If I did that, you guys will be knocking on my door for the recipe all by yourselves. At least that is what you and the rest of your peers would do, if you don't know the people involved in this and if you don't know what kind of people are interrupting your advances.

But I didn't do any of that, do you not wonder why?"

When he said those words, suddenly Ananya thought of some possibilities which made her open her mouth wide open.

"No, I don't know who they are. I am not that resourceful. But I am not stupid either. This is what I don't understand. Just how narcissist are the elves to assume that everyone is dumber than them?

Anyway, just leave that for later. I would like you to offer another number. If not, in two days, every paddy farmer will get a copy of the rice wine and every potato farmer will get a copy of the recipe of the vodka. All with no cost. What do you think will happen by then?"

And these words almost choked Ananya of her breath.
