"This is the prime minister of Red Hog Country. His name is Pritam Chaudary."

As she introduced him, Tyler’s eyebrows rose.

"He is a prime minister? Doesn’t that mean the entire country could be involved in this conflict?"

Daisy shook her head and said.

"Don’t forget he is only at the peak of the Soul Sublimation Realm. The reason why we need to be afraid of them is due to their large number of Soul Sublimation Realm cultivators."

Tyler nodded.

"I see! Their plan is quite interesting."

Daisy asked.

"Have you already figured it out?"

Tyler smirked.

"Of course! This is a classic short-term benefit formula. They had planned to acquire this mine for some time. It could be anywhere from three months to three years."

Daisy’s eyes lit up as she continued.

"Any more and the country will not allow, any less and they will benefit from this mine. After all, no matter how much this mine produces, its production will always be Yellowstone Ores."

Tyler nodded.

"Yes, unless they know more about this mine and its hidden resource, they simply plan to use this mine to acquire a large amount of ores."

"By selling those ores, they can increase the supply of Yellowstone Ore. An increase in supply means a decrease in cost."

"By the time they stop mining, it will take this mine a few years to recover, and so will the market. By the time this mine recovers, the Prime Minister can start producing ore at a normal rate."

"And, considering how effective this mine is, it can last for decades or even a century."

Hearing that, Daisy showed an angered expression as she pointed out their hidden plan.

"By creating conflict between humans and fishman, the prime minister can easily take control of this mine."

"Even if the conflict isn’t created by Coastal City, it is the nearest city to the Fishman race, so the conflict will reach this city first."

"The Grant Family will have no choice but to obey the Prime Minister in his acquisition of this land."

Tyler’s eyes were quite gloomy.

This was a vicious scheme because even if the Grant Family knew about those two families’ involvement, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.

After all, these two families weren’t participating in this conflict. They were only creating conflict, and nobody even knew they were creating conflict.

Even if other families realized this, they wouldn’t be able to do anything but watch these two families profit from this mine.

Considering this mine could produce one hundred thousand kilograms of Yellowstone ore a year with just eight working hours and five days a week of work using a thousand workers.

Those two families could produce at least over a million or two kilograms of Yellowstone ore in just a year.

They could go even further with their ruthless attitude towards their workers.

If they managed to produce even just five million kilograms of Yellowstone ores, that would help them earn at least five billion gold coins, which would be equivalent to fifty million spirit stones.

That was exactly the cost of Rank Three Yellow Cat and also enough to produce more than one Inner World Formation Realm cultivator.

Even in the entire Red Hog Country, there were fewer than ten Inner World Formation Realm cultivators, which was enough to prove just how difficult it would be to reach this realm.

If those families produce even a single Inner World Formation Realm cultivator, they could easily dominate the entire Red Hog Country.

Even the Prime Minister, the most influential person in this country, would have no choice but to bow his head.

Of course, this would happen if those families got this mine.

And, all of this was just his guess.

What if they weren’t planning something like this? What if their plan included the cooperation between three families?

After all, the Prime Minister came from a powerful family.

"Let’s ask for help from the Grant Family; otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to defend this city."

Daisy spoke.

Although she knew Tyler wasn’t planning on telling the family about this mine, she felt he no longer had that choice.

Unfortunately, she was wrong.

Tyler shook his head.

"No, we will strike first, but we will not target those two families. Daisy, I need to contact the leader of the Fishman Race."

Daisy’s face changed drastically.

"Impossible! They will not cooperate with humans."

Tyler shook his head and continued.

"Don’t make such an assumption without trying! Daisy, do you think it is possible for a strong person to accept being manipulated by others?"

Daisy paused while Tyler continued.

"They will not accept. They will rather reject the very reality than believe they are being manipulated by other people."

"So, imagine their anger if they knew how these two families were trying to incite a conflict between our races. Do you think they can swallow this anger?"

"No! Not only can they can’t swallow this anger, but they will also strike back with a stronger force. Of course, this will start a war between fishman and humans."

"But at least, we will be able to solve our current problem."

Daisy shook her head and said.

"But all of this is just an assumption. Humans have never cooperated with fishmen."

"Then, let me be the first one."

Tyler clenched his fist and said.

"Daisy, if we never try something, we will never know if it will succeed. Peace between races will not be easy, but we can try something, can’t we?"

"Trade is the best option. I just need you to contact the authoritative figure in fishman race."

Hearing his words, Daisy sighed.

"I will try my best, but don’t expect too much from me! But we still don’t know what’s inside this mine? We still don’t know why it is able to produce so many ores nonstop."

"We have checked the limits of this mine. It shouldn’t have so much ore. So, there must be a secret hidden underneath this mine."

"Without proper investigation, I can’t find its secret."

Tyler waved his hand, placing it around her shoulder.

"Don’t worry, I have recently acquired a Treasure Hunting Mouse. With Alfred’s help, we can hunt enough Monsters to raise his level to Rank Three."

"With that rank, he will be able to identify the truth behind this mine."

Daisy thought for a moment.

"If you want to speed this up, I can find a Rank Three Treasure Hunting Mouse, but it will cost a lot."

"No! I have already established a blood connection with Nezumi. By the way, a Rank Three Yellow Cat also started following me."

"He didn’t allow me to sign the contract. I have to reach the Soul Sublimation Realm for that, but he is quite loyal."

"Wow! You got a Yellow Cat? A Third Rank?"

Daisy screamed.

Her voice almost shook the entire room.

"Why are you so excited?"

Tyler couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"Do you even understand what that means? A Rank Three Monster Beast is fully capable of having his personal thoughts."

"Unless Rank One or Two, who are controlled by their instincts, Rank Three Monster Beast can communicate with any cultivator at the Soul Sublimation Realm, even if they didn’t understand the language."

"And Yellow Cats are known for their rarity, incredible lightning control, and ability to improve faster than other monster beasts just by passively absorbing spirit energy from the surroundings."

Daisy shook his shoulder as she excitedly explained.

"More importantly, it can be sold for more than fifty million spirit stones."

Tyler stopped her and replied.

"We will not talk about that here, understand?"

Daisy paused and nodded.

"I’m sorry. I almost forgot it belongs to you. But you are very lucky, Young Master."

Tyler didn’t care about her remarks; instead, he asked.

"Do they have control over more than one element?"

Daisy shook her head.

"No, unless they reach Fifth Rank, they only have one element. It’s lightning."

"Shibyo has lightning and flame control. At the same time, it also has the ability to sense malice. I am not completely about the malice part, but at least, it seems like a mutated one."

Tyler explained.

Hearing that, Daisy used her palm to support her head and said.

"I think it is a mutated one. Flame Control has never appeared among Yellow Cats. By the way, how powerful is its flame control?"

"His flame can devour others’ flames and use the same flame against others."

Tyler replied.

"Then, that’s mutation for sure. It’s similar to their lightning element. They can not only absorb lightning during the storm but also from their enemies."

"Since it is a mutated one, it doesn’t seem impossible for it to have the ability to sense malice. After all, a Third Rank Yellow Cat will never approach someone with malicious intent."

"They will not be fooled by melodies."

Daisy answered before a smirk appeared on her face.

"Then, Young Master! Would you like to devour the blood of the True Dragon or me?"
