Master Of None

Chapter 750: 750. Demonsʼ Awe

The demon manʼs face was staring in awe at the grandness of the Garnet family auction house. He had never seen such a building and could not contain himself. The smile and light in his eyes were enough to make Walker know he had just brought the demon man somewhere he had not even been able to dream of in his life thus far.

”Pretty impressive, I know. But you should see the inside. It is much better than the outside.” The demon followed Walker up the steps. He was looking at each of the smooth and polished marble steps as if they were a magnificent treasure.

”Sir hero, we do not have you listed for an appointment today. Are you here to schedule one or do you have other business?” The guard at the door recognized Walker. Every single staff member and the guards had been instructed to memorize the hero partysʼ faces so that they could be properly treated with respect when they arrived.

”I do not have an appointment. If I need one I can make one now. I was bringing my friend here to introduce him to someone that could teach him about being a merchant. He wants to be one in the future. Of course, the best place I thought of was the Garnet family. This is the main hub of trading in the kingdom.

The market may have some good items, but we both know the best comes through here first.” Walker knew that a little flattery would go a long way with the guards.

As soon as he explained his reasoning the guard was able to put on a friendly smile toward the demon, ”Please let me go inside and see if anyone is available. If I recall the young mistress is available currently due to a canceled appointment.” The guard rushed inside while still maintaining the professional air about him.

”They are a very refined daily due to their status in the city. But donʼt let that put you off. They are very kind and will teach you more than you ever thought you would need to know.” Walker was sure that the Garnet family would take this demon in and teach him. He was sure that they may ask for some payment but that was nothing compared to the demon having a proper education and home for now.

There was a slight creak as the door slowly opened again to reveal a smartly dressed woman with bright red hair and a sharp pair of eyes. ”Sir hero, my name is Jessica Garnet. Please address me as Jessie. What do I owe the pleasure today?”

”Well hello, I am sorry to surprise you. I hope that it did not cause any problems for you. I know how busy you must be with everything going on right now.” Walker first apologized, he knew that showing unannounced was always in poor taste.

”No, it is very nice to have you here. I had a meeting with a merchant but they canceled to rush to the dwarven kingdom. Apparently, there was a set of heroes that helped solve a few problems there. Now all the merchants are rushing there to gather new items to bring here and there for sale.” Jessie made a slight laugh.

”Oh, where are my manners, please come inside and have some of the elder fruit tea we just got in from across the desert. It is invigorating.”

Walker followed Jessie inside and guided the demon to come as well. It was hard to keep the demon man moving since the lavish interior was another unknown sight to him. Walker managed to stop the demon a few times from grasping at the silk fabrics or touching the lifelike paintings on the wall.

All of this was much to the humor of Jessie who laughed each time Walker was forced to catch the demonsʼ hand.

”Phew, now that we have made it here. I was hoping that I could introduce this demon to you. Iʼm not sure he has a name just yet but when I met him he was trying to learn about being a merchant from the owner of a fruit stall. I could only think of this auction house as the best possible place to learn.” Walker made sure to throw the compliment in.

It was true but he needed to make sure that he said it to improve the chances of the demon being able to earn here.

”I see, it was wise to bring him here. However, why would we benefit from taking in one of the demons as an apprentice merchant? We can recruit from every noble family and even from outside the kingdom when we desire.” Jessie was not going to just sit around. She was a huge fan of getting right in to the details of business and making progress.

She believed that those who sat idle would end up wasting away.

”I was expecting you to ask this. You see, I know that the Garnet family will be very interested in expanding to the Genesis city as it is built. To be honest, I expect there have already been moves to make this happen.” Walker noticed Jessiesʼ eyebrow twitch slightly telling him that they had indeed made their moves.

”I believe having a demon merchant will be very useful. The races will find the Genesis city as a place to come together equally. Having a demon as part of your family business before it becomes mainstream so to speak, would put you ahead. Not only this, But the demons that join you will be pioneers of their race. They had not delved in to the world of auctions and trading.

That means you will be at the forefront of this movement.” Walker knew that all of it was sounding very tempting. He only needed to wait for Jessiesʼ response.
