Chapter 26 - Ambition

today is the first time arc stepped into Grand Trading Corp since he bought it, the reason for it was a certain big shot was asking for a meeting with him...

six hours ago Eve informs him of a certain Big shot asking for a meeting with him... Eve and Diana, of course, wanted to refuse the said meeting but they need Arc permission for that...

Diana repeatedly apologizes for leaks in his existence.. but Arc just dismissed it by saying it not her fault, that's indeed the truth, if the superpowers really want to investigate his existence it's easy for them to do that. one Diana and rest are living with him anyone can easily connect the dots...

no matter how careful Diana and rest including Eve it's only a matter of time before he's existence is exposed, so he wasn't surprised about someone asking about him.. so he agreed on the meeting...

but the employee of his Grand Trading Corp was a different story, they are surprised when the enigmatic leader comes to their office so suddenly.. at first they were puzzled who was the young man their super boss Diana and even the ever-charming Tiffa and the two master Biggs and Wedge was following from behind until they heard Tiffa said the word boss that they realize who that was...

Tiffa also realized her blunder and her complexion paled.. but Arc just laughed about it and said, just reminds them to keep it to themselves.

Tiffa immediately said, "sorry boss I'll be sure to remind them."

-Arc look at Tiffa paled face and smile don't worry too much about it. it's not something we can hide right now-

he was already prepared for this kind of thing to happen the moment he agrees on the meeting, on the Grand Trading office,

-he also said to Tiffa I was planning to let them know anyways to prevent any unnecessary gossip, so don't worry about it..-

he said this to Tiffa because he knows she will blame herself for it, he knows how loyal they are and mistakes are not acceptable for them.. so he tried to lighten the situations.

when he got to the conference room he saw a middle-aged man drinking tea.. he look at him as expected of the admiral, their aura is amazing.. as the same time he was checking the man, he was also checking him out, he saw a quick change of expression that quickly returns to normal when he saw him...

-hello admiral Ford, sorry for making you wait I'm Arc d. Grand founder and owner of Grand Trading Corp.. good to meet you-

Arc didn't show any expression except for faint smile on his face, he was not perturbed about the Aura of authority the admiral is emitting, he's no longer a regular human his status is already above regular human, not to mention Biggs and Wedge aura is hundred times More potent the admiral, if those two are not controlling their Aura the admiral might end up fainting right now...

even he when exposed to a true Aura of Biggs and Wedge almost fainted, he tried asking about it before to Biggs just for fun, and he ended up almost disgracing himself, heck he almost pissed himself.. good thing he managed to hold it in time, or he would have destroyed his godly reputation to them.. well maybe nothing would change even if he did piss himself but his ego would definitely take a nosedive, at least he only ended up with a slightly bruised ego.. he keeps telling himself someday I'll be as strong as them if not stronger, well it's not exactly an empty dream with the help of the system anything is possible...

he takes a sit in the chairman seat while Diana Tiffa and Biggs and Wedge stand behind him. proving his identity.

"Hello, Mr. Grand, you're younger than I expected it's amazing how someone's as young as you are capable of taming the monster behind you. no offense though said," admiral Ford.

Ford has been through a lot, him having a rank of 3rd class admiral proved that he can tell that the four people behind the young man is not ordinary people, no matter how much they control their aura he can feel the danger about them, in fact, the first time he met them, especially when he said he wanted to meet their true boss the lady Diana lost control of her aura for fraction of the moment, when that happens he felt like he was back when he was still a space cadet about to face an overwhelming power of the alien Force, and what surprised him, even more, is that the man behind her is 100 times more dangerous he can feel it in his bones,

that's why he was adamant in meeting the person behind them.. he was intrigued it's been a while since he was this intrigued about meeting someone.

-no, no none taken, I'll take that as a compliment- said Arc

"well let me introduce myself I'm 3rd rank admiral, Jackson K. Ford of the 18th space squadron of Human Federation Alliance, I'm responsible for logistics and support in the battlefront, my squadron is mainly responsible for delivering supply to the battlefront, and that's why I'm here."

"Normally I'll just ask someone to liaise with your company, but since I was on the planet for another business I decided to come and meet the one responsible for the 5star Supplements that everyone is talking about. in all honesty, I tried the S rank solutions your company produced and I'm very surprised the quality is top-notch, and it certainly delivered what was promised and more."

-I'm happy to hear that from someone like you admiral it certainly gave us a huge boost for our moral-

-well then let us not waste your time admiral, what do want from us?- ask Arc

"decisive, I like that. I want a priority on S, A, and B rank solutions from your company and if possible give us a discount you can take it as a favor from me."

-no problem we can give you 80% of the original price any lower and we'll be taking a loss but a favor from an admiral certainly worth it- said Arc with a smile.

80% even if he gives a price 10% of the retail price he was still in profit their profit margin in solutions is several times the production price.. but of course, he will say this.

and this is a huge opportunity for them, to have their products reach the Human Federation Alliance, is a huge step for them at this moment he didn't think they will get the attention of HFA this early in the game.. he was predicting maybe a year or so for them to get the attention of HFA, but now the admiral himself is on their doorstep and asking for a favor.. how huge is that?

he didn't reveal it in his face but he was over the mood right now.

"Great! said admiral Ford, I'll have someone liaise about the details, I won't stay long as I have a prior engagement, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Grand, let's continue to cooperate in the future."

-likewise admiral likewise- said Arc they shake hands, and he let Tiffa and Diana escort the admiral outside were his Entourage is waiting.

Arc stayed in the conference room waiting for Diana and Tiffa, he was conversing with Eve about the possible changes in their plan.. but Eve told him it's too early to change their plan right now.. building our own private army is still the priority at this moment.

moments later Diana and the rest arrived back in the conference room.. they sit at the chair next to him.

-so what do you guys think?- ask Arc

"I don't see any problem with this deal Right now if there's any it's all positive for us..." said Diana

Tiffa and the rest didn't join the conversation they just listened, waiting for a new order from their Boss.

a couple of days ago Arc already completed the current system mission he summoned the butler and the maids but left the others alone for now, he was tempted to summon the intelligence specialist but decided not to, for now, tomorrow was the day their hunters equipment products will be introduced to the market, he was looking forward to it as well.

-Agree I don't see any problem with it either, a connection with the HFA is a huge boon for us, it will certainly propel our company as one of the best in health and wellness industry.- said Arc

-our priority won't change for now except procuring more wasteland materials, I'll ask Eve on the alternative for the materials need for our solutions, but for now continue to do what you normally do, except for a boost in production nothing is change.-
