Chapter 486 Dennis Studios

As Lith finished speaking, Ruo Zi immediately knelt on the ground and bowing, she apologized, stating,

"I once again apologize for my subordinate's incompetence, Sir Ray. What has happened shall never repeat again and I do request you to let bygones be bygones."

She then side eyed the others and noticing the Chief's expression, everyone knelt and bowed as well.

Lith, looking at them, said calmly, "get up. I understand. Come sit, we still need to finish the discussions." 

This was getting dragged for longer than Lith hoped and there was no amusement in watching a few people apologize.

It was better to wind up the discussions and get things done.

Ruo Zi thanked Lith and sitting down opposite to him, she first stated,

"I'll be the one handling the affairs from now. Here's my number. Sir Ray can call anytime on it."

Mo's expression darkened as he saw this happen. Being kicked out from his job, Mo knew what it meant.

He had fucked up!

Mo couldn't say anything to Ruo Zi as well since she was at the top brass. He could only wait and see what else would happen with him for his mistakes.

Had he known Lith was some important person in front of whom even Ruo Zi needed to bow, he would've never doubted him or the two people with him.

But now it was too late and he couldn't only wait and see what would happen to him and what judgement the upper echelons would bring.

Lith nodded listening to Ruo Zi. He didn't care who it was that was handling his affairs as long as the rewards were given and the work was done.

Lith laidback and Ralph was the one who started discussing things with Ruo Zi.

Finally, after a long talk, Ruo Zi realized that the three people in front weren't offended by their mistakes and were really calm and easy going.

They were the ones who the beastkins seeked support from and it was the beastkins who weren't offering proper benefits for the work from the three.

Although Ruo Zi was angry with the idiots handling this affair, she knew she couldn't do much about it since they didn't know that the person they were dealing with was a Black Card Holder.

The three also appeared really young and easy going people which didn't align with the high and mighty prowess they held. The card was something that Ruo Zi imagined only someone at the top of a main race would hold and not some random person.

But then again, she didn't know who the three in front were and what their background was. So it was better to consider them powerful to be safe.

Ruo Zi also had to give it to Mo that he did indeed do a good job for coming across these three and finding them. Getting help from a Black Card Holder increased their chances of solving the disputes by many folds.

It was almost a guarantee that someone of this calibre could solve all their problems.

Ruo Zi thus offered the best benefits she could and closed the deal with Ralph.

The deal stated that the benefits would be given at three different times. 

First would be now, that is, before the work is done. Second would be when the dispute is solved slightly and third would be when the dispute is fully solved.

The rewards were hefty and the deal that they signed stated that these three won't take the final reward if the dispute wasn't solved fully. They'll only take the other two.

The rewards were also made in such a way that there were more benefits at the third stage rather than the first two. The first stage had the lowest benefit there was as compared to the other two.

But the rewards were far better than what Mo was going to offer.

Listening to their conversation made Mo dizzy as he couldn't believe how much the beastkins were offering.

Mo had gotten a limit for how much he could allow the three to take from the higher ups, but the same wasn't the case with Ruo Zi.

Ruo Zi was a big shot. She could make the decisions on her own as she was from one of the four great families. Not only that, her reputation in her own family was too high for anyone to oppose her and thus, she held great power.

Ruo Zi felt relieved after the deal was done. She immediately left, not wanting to stay with the three people for long and also because she was really angry with Mo. She was going to give Mo and everyone involved with Lith's incident a good beating to let them know what wrong they had done.

After the beastkins were gone, Lith looked at Ralph and said,

"Not bad, not bad. It was a good deal."

Ralph nodded. "Now we have a production house of our own."

According to the first deal, they were given ten best animators and artists from the Beast Kingdom. They could also open up a studio for free and hire anyone they wanted as long as their studio was based in the Beast Kingdom.

Dennis, after being silent for so long, chimed in asking, "What are we naming our studio?" 

"Dennis Studios." Lith joked.

Ralph smiled hearing that whereas Dennis wrinkled his nose and said, "It would be nice to have a studio of my name but why does it sound so crap?"

"Just name it whatever. Afterall, once a name becomes famous, even if it's crap, it'll be revered and thought highly of." Lith said.

Dennis nodded. "Yeah, I know. Like the famous studio is simply called bones. I wonder what they were thinking to name it like that."

Lith shrugged and took a sip of tea. As he tasted it, he thought to himself while looking at it, 'the blood of my wives tastes better than tea.'

Suddenly, he became conscious of his thoughts and continued to think, 'I am having thoughts about blood. It seems I am fully assimilated into my vampire identity. Nice.'

Lith then looked at Dennis who was looking at him and waiting to hear a reply.

Lith simply said, "just name it what you want. Don't look at me, I am not going to do it."

Lith hadn't named anything yet and he was not sure how his naming sense was. It was better to not answer than to get made fun of by Dennis.

Dennis knitted his brows and went into deep thoughts. It seems nobody was going to name the studio and the responsibility fell on him.

'Tsk. So much work.' Dennis thought to himself. He then looked around in search of inspiration.

Lith and Ralph chatted together while Dennis searched for inspiration to name the studio. Finally, not getting anything, he gave up and looked at the two talking together.

But just as he looked at them, his gaze fell on Lith's amethyst eyes. That was the thing that caught his attention the most when the two talked.

'Found it!' Dennis thought happily.

He interrupted the two and said, "I found it! I know what the studio can be named."

Ralph looked at him and asked, "what is it?"

Dennis pointed towards Lith's eyes and exclaimed, 

"Studio Purple!"

Ralph turned to look at where Dennis was pointing and saw Lith's amethyst eyes.

Lith, noticing where Dennis's inspiration came from, said, "in case you're thinking my eyes are purple, they're amethyst purple and not simply purple."

Dennis rubbed his nose and said, "tomato potato, same thing, same thing, Your Highness."

Lith shook his head with a smile and didn't clarify further.

Ralph, looking at the two converse, was slightly surprised.

In case Dennis forgot, he was speaking to his prince and from what Ralph knew, the eye colour of the vampire royals was amethyst purple like what Lith just described.

Dennis calling it something else was simply offending all the vampire royals and he sure had the balls to do it right in front of the prince himself.

But oh well, looking at Lith, Ralph saw he didn't dwell much on it after correcting it once. It seems the prince didn't care what others thought or perhaps Lith just made an exception because it was Dennis.

In other places, the royalties wouldn't let things slide like this. If someone mismatched any features like how Dennis did, they would be beheaded for their insolence.

The vampire royalties sure were lax, Ralph thought and didn't ponder after anything regarding it.

Dennis then said, "Let's go create our studio. We should get everything done by today itself so that we don't need to work more."

Lith and Ralph nodded.

Lith then said, "You guys go make a studio, I'll go see what the dispute is all about. I am going to the border areas to see what's happening."

"Alright." The two said.

The three then parted ways and left the cafe.

Empress' Castle, Star Dragon City.

Mayzin and Lucifer were still together, sitting around a table and talking.

Suddenly, Mayzin said while looking at her tablet,

"He's alone! Lucifer, you should leave now."

"Now?"

"Yes! Go!"

Lucifer, looking at Mayzin being so excited, said, "Are you sure he's alone or are you just trying to make me leave?"

Mayzin knitted her brows. Did Lucifer think Mayzin didn't like her? 

"Tsk. You talk too much. Just go." Mayzin said and walked towards Lucifer.

She grabbed her shoulders and pushed her down on the chair she was on.

"WAIT. I AM NOT READY—"

Fuusssshhhhh

Lucifer fell into a vortex below her and was out of the castle.

Mayzin went back to her seat and chuckling, she looked at the screen and said to herself,

"It'll be a fun show."
