Chapter 24: Consumables
If he wanted to contact Lucan Veyrath, he had to go to a hotel.Ethan Gray had already been sleeping in the restaurant he had opened for two days. Apart from the unbearable heat and mosquitoes that could bite a person to death, the biggest problem was that there was no internet.Garrick Horven's rule had turned Sylvarok into a primitive forest.However, Garrick Horven was still polite toward the Eldorians because, at present, only Eldorian people were willing to come and buy timber, and selling timber was Garrick's only source of income.The military was supported by aid from Avernia, but the money from selling timber went directly into Garrick's own pockets. Therefore, even if the timber was sold as cheaply as possible, Garrick could still make at least several million dollars a year.Ethan had heard all this through casual conversation while eating. After the meal, he did not need to make any excuse and naturally followed the bosses to the hotel.The hotel was less than a hundred me
Chapter 23: Identification
The General was coming.Everyone who frequently came to Sylvarok to do business knew that when the General came, it meant one thing: everyone else had to leave.Everyone wore a pained expression. Although no one dared to say anything, their faces still betrayed how they felt.Ethan Gray was even more distressed.The target had appeared on his own initiative, but he had come far too early.Ethan had no way to make a move. First of all, there were too many people here. There were seven Eldorian people. If he made a move, none of them would be able to escape.Besides, Ethan was not prepared yet. He had not had time to notify Lucan Veyrath. Even if he succeeded, he would have no way to leave Sylvarok.Old Vale was already preparing to leave. He showed no displeasure and said only, helplessly, "The General is coming, so we'll leave first.""No."The extremely burly Black man smiled and said, "Wait a little longer before leaving."As they were talking, the sound of a car came from outside.
Chapter 22: Efficiency Comes First
Time is life, and efficiency is money.Always a man of action, Ethan Gray found the biggest small supermarket in Sylvarok that very day. Inside the supermarket, he found the only Eldorian owner still living in the area and settled everything within five minutes.Three thousand dollars a year. The supermarket owner was extremely happy to rent the restaurant to Ethan Gray, and he even gave Ethan three boxes of instant noodles, each worth ten dollars, for free.After returning to the hotel, Ethan first went to find several of the bosses staying there and asked them to help him exchange some cash.Ethan had brought too little cash with him. To open the restaurant, he first needed to pay one thousand dollars in rent, so Ethan exchanged two thousand dollars in cash from several timber merchants.Ethan would transfer the money from the bank into the timber merchants' accounts, and they would simply give him the cash.At first, several of the bosses were unwilling to make the exchange, but af
Chapter 21: The Man at the Top of the Contempt Chain
On his very first day, Ethan Gray had already completed most of what needed to be done. He had finished his reconnaissance, formulated a revised plan, and immediately put it into action.The first step of the plan was to test the food.Little Black came to the hotel and wandered around several times a day to find work, while the people staying there did not have many other options.Ethan Gray got into Little Black's car and went to the famous Eldoria Restaurant. He had to find out exactly what level of food could attract Garrick Horven.At this point, he could no longer pretend to be a destitute beggar with nowhere to turn. He had to pretend to be someone who had a little money in his hands.Only someone who was desperately poor would need to sneak into a restaurant to work for a Black man. If someone had some savings, they could open a restaurant themselves. That was the normal logic.They could not wait until dark. There was no electricity, and once it became dark, they would not be
Chapter 20: Open My Own
There were two single beds in the room. The white sheets had several stains that could not be washed clean. There were also two chairs and a small round table with an ashtray on it. Most importantly, there was a very old window-mounted air conditioner, as well as a separate bathroom.The hotel had no front desk, only a fat owner who was very enthusiastic. He could also speak Eldorian, but the words that came out of his mouth were cold and merciless.“Four hundred dollars a day.”The conditions were worse than even the most basic cheap hotels back home, yet the price was more expensive than that of a five-star hotel.Ethan Gray sucked in a cold breath. Afraid that he had heard wrong, he confirmed again, “Four hundred a day, not four hundred a month?”There was no change in expression on the owner's dark face. He continued smiling enthusiastically, but his answer was firm.“A day. Four hundred. No bargaining. This is the only place with air conditioning, the only place with Wi-Fi, and t
Chapter 19: Fellow Traders
There had to be other restaurants. There had to be other Eldorian restaurants. There had to be. There simply had to be.Otherwise, they were completely screwed.Ethan Gray looked at Little Black with a pleading expression. After thinking for a moment, he deliberately spoke in a dissatisfied tone. “There aren't any other restaurants?”“There are, boss, but this is the only Eldorian restaurant.”This was troublesome.If this was really what the restaurant looked like, then all of Ethan's plans would have to be scrapped. There wasn't even a wall, and everything inside the restaurant could be seen clearly from outside. How was he supposed to make a move?Ethan didn't dare show too much eagerness. He put on a look of disdain and thought for a moment before finally saying helplessly, “Fine. Let's eat here.”Little Black smiled without saying anything. Ethan was just about to get out of the car when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.The restaurant owner didn't look eager to attract
