Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Arena 17

Jaya was frustrated, yes she was frustrated. ‘How dare that bitch embarrass me in front of everyone like that? Fuq! If only she was not Wyatt’s friend.’ These were Jaya’s thoughts whenever she thought about Anna and the incident back in the VIP box. She would feel humiliated every time she thought back to that moment, if not for her sister asking her to make up with Wyatt, She would have fought with that bitch despite her high odds of winning. She completely forgot the part of her provoking Anna by calling her out for bragging about killing her half-sister. She just kept venting her frustration and anger on imaginative Anna in her mind, refusing to accept the true feeling she felt towards Anna, Fear.

Thankfully she had to leave the VIP box to wait for her turn near arena 17. It saved her from enduring the weird gazes from the people in the VIP box. The incident in the VIP box almost made her forget another task her elder sister has assigned to her, throwing dirty water on Brown family name. She did not know how her sister made it happen but her first opponent was Ned Brown the Brown Family’s heir. Achieving this may be impossible for others but if it’s her sister anything was possible.

The Brown family’s main business is pharmaceuticals, they have 3-4 pharmaceutical plants across the southern region with the biggest one being located in Sky blossom city. And the transportation of ingredients and the products to and from Brown Pharmaceuticals is undertaken by Fine Gold Merchant Vessels for 2/3rd of the actual cost. Fine Gold is known for doing cut-throat business, it is unlike them to offer a discount price to any of its customers.

The reason they offered the discount to the Brown family is that the Brown pharmaceutical is not their customer but their prey. The pharmaceutical business is not an optimum business choice in this world where a medic card can get rid of any ailment. But not everyone is fortunate enough to use a medic card every time they get a cough or cold. So yes pharmaceuticals were preferred for their cheap remedies by low-income class people and low realm Card apprentices. Despite its lesser opportunities, Brown pharmaceutical made a decent gross profit every being the sole pharmaceuticals in the southern region.

Over the years Fine Gold has quietly acquired 47% shares of the Brown pharmaceuticals using different shell companies spread out in the southern region without alerting the Brown family. Within another year the Fine Gold would over through the Brown family as majority shareholder but they had to speed up the process of acquiring the majority of Brown pharmaceuticals shares within this week because of the major discovery of the Silver Milk Powder.

Most people think that Silver milk Powder is an item card considering that it helps in active soul control cultivation but only those who have gone through the original patent of the silver milk powder know that Silver milk powder has nothing to do with Cards instead, it is just dried up bacteria grown in a laboratory environment. When people know this, the only place with all the equipment to grow these bacteria in large quantities effectively would be worth 100 times its current price. And that place is none other than the only pharmaceutical company in the whole southern region, Brown Pharmaceuticals.

Diana Keith the Chairman of the Fine Gold would not miss such an obvious opportunity. But currently, she only had 47% of the Brown Pharmaceuticals which was not enough to fill her appetite. 53% of the rest of Brown Pharmaceutical was in the hands of the Brown family. But this 53% was split into small pieces between all the top members of the Brown family making it hard for Fine Gold to acquire the majority shares of Brown Pharmaceutical. Therefore Diana planned to play dirty to get what she wants before the Brown family realises the gold mine they are sitting on.

Every family had their Drunk, Gambler and prodigal family members collectively known as the black sheep of the family. Before Diana wanted to use them to gain the remaining shares she needed to become the major share owner but now she cannot follow that plan as she did not have time to execute such a long plan. So Diana thought of another ingenious plan that is to buy all the debts of the Brown family.

It was common for Big families and companies to have big debts to gather capital by mortgaging their assets. And the Brown family was no exception, they had an alarming rate of debt as Pharmaceuticals in this world was not a lucrative business which also meant that they did not have to watch out for predators. So, the Brown family did not shy away from taking loans. This provided an opportunity for Diana to gain all the shares in the hands of the Brown family.

Having acquired all the debts of the Brown family now all Diana had to do was make the value of Brown pharmaceuticals shares lower than the total amount of loan they took on the name of the company. This way she could claim the shares of Brown pharmaceuticals in the hands of the Brown family in the name of reclaiming debt.

How did Diana plan on decreasing the value of the shares of Brown pharmaceuticals,

1.Create an incident that would promote people into dumping Brown pharmaceuticals shares at a small price.

2.Since all the 47% market shares of the Brown pharmaceuticals were already in Fine Gold’s hands they would sell the shares at half the price to themselves but make it look like multiple people were dumping the shares for half price as a result of the false incident regarding Brown pharmaceuticals.

Overnight due to the domino effect the shares of Brown pharmaceuticals would be worth half of what it was yesterday. Giving Fine Gold enough reasons to cease all the shares in the hands of the Brown family to reclaim the debt they own. This way 100% shares of the Brown pharmaceutical will belong to Fine Gold.

Therefore Daina had to go out of her way to pull up some old connections to arrange a fight Between Jaya and the heir of the Brown family. Using this opportunity Jaya would slander Brown pharmaceuticals for conducting various illegal acts. Allowing the fine gold to dump Brown pharmaceuticals shares at half the price and buy them themselves without raising suspicions of the Brown family.

After acquiring the Brown pharmaceuticals Diana planned on exchanging the pharmaceuticals with the Southern emperor for a favour, she was not dumb to as for shares or something from the ruler of the south
