Chapter 93 93 Conference
Bruce still didn't say everything that was on his mind. In fact he had a lot of trust in Zach but didn't want Diana to be angrier than she already was after finding out that her brother had become a lot like those fanatics. Inwardly Bruce felt that Zach would never take over his position because he didn't seem like such a person who would backstab his friends.
Thanks to Bruce's timely fire fighting and apt situational reading, Diana's earlier anger vanished as if it had never been there in the first place. What replaced it was just frustration; pure unadulterated frustration that made her want to pull her hair out. It wasn't that she was against Zach in any way. She too felt grateful to him but the fact that their family had started to seem like his from some time ago made her somewhat unsettled and even slightly agitated.
While all this fiasco with Bruce, Diana and the servants was going on, Zach was close to dying. He felt that his life had become so hectic that he barely had any time for himself. He had never been so busy even in the previous world where there were means to keep him busy. But even though this world had no such thing, Zach still felt like his schedule was planned down to the last minute. For the first time in his life, he felt like he could stand alongside those rich billionaires who think of their time as money and act all cool about it in dramas and movies.
The primary duty that Zach needed to perform every day had never changed since his time in the forest. And that was feeding his lovely Luna every day. Zach knew how Luna felt about him and knew about her mood swings that came every time he delayed their sessions. Therefore, in order to lead a happier and peaceful lifestyle, Zach never denied her.
But these days, Zach was doing it for an entirely different reason. He was even being more proactive than necessary but Luna was thoroughly enjoying it. He had even had to miss a few lectures just so he could roll around in bed with her a few times more.
The reason was that he needed to unlock new equipment in the Weapons Arsenal. This time he was in dire need of trucks that had a low unlocking rate. Therefore, he was putting in more effort than normal and was absorbing the energy from Luna at an increased pace.
Countless notifications popped up during this time but he was only able to unlock a few of the trucks that he needed. For his vision regarding the establishment of a transport chain in this new world, Zach needed a lot more of those.
Thankfully, he had planned out everything in advance and had given himself more than enough time to arrange everything. For now things were going in the right direction. He just needed to confine himself to the room with Luna for a few more weeks during which the technical expertise of the servants would increase even more.
Not to mention, the pleasure of playing with an overly affectionate Luna was pulling at his heart strings and was making him submit to the bliss of the little pink world that the two had established in their room.
…
A whole month passed during which many events took place that further shaped Zach's vision for the future. The servants became somewhat capable of handling the technical and scientific aspects of their duties and understood the logic and importance behind their tasks.
Meanwhile, Bruce sent out invitations to all the noteworthy families of the Elizabeth city whether they be big shots or budding and rising families. The reason for this huge gathering planned by the Luther family was none other than the launch of their new product.
Knowing the need for marketing a new product, Zach asked Bruce to not hold back and to bring out the big guns this time because their product was bound to make waves. Zach knew the worth of his products and he wanted the whole city to know about it as well.
Therefore, Zach had also given some instructions as to how to publicize the news and the ways to promote their product.
Since the main customers for the product were the elite families of the city, Zach had asked Bruce to insist that the product was going to revolutionize the lifestyle of these elites. This approach was the best because where there is an abundance of wealth, material things and the lifestyle determined one's worth. For example, a wealthy man driving a Volkswagen and a common man are no different. To satisfy his vanity, the wealthy man must have an eye catching style or an eye catching ride like a Ferrari to cause eyes to turn towards him.
This was a product akin to Ferrari since Zach was planning to revolutionize the transportation industry from animal driven to mechanical. The word 'luxury' was going to be redefined.
Therefore, even the invitations said,
"You are cordially invited to our estate for the launch of our new product that will revolutionize your current lifestyle and will change it in ways that you haven't even imagined yet.
For the first time ever, magic will cross over to the mundane and will be available for those who cannot wield magic. Please be our witness as we the 'Luther family' take the first step towards progress in the name of mankind as a whole."
The invitation made so many families unable to contain their curiosity as various among the invited sent over their people under the veil of the darkness to get a look at the activities of the Luther family. But thanks to the security measures taken by Zach, none of them were able to even get close to the Luther family estate.
Rumors spread that the new dark mage had spread a death trap around the Luther family and anyone who stepped into it without prior permission from the household would die an untimely death. Thanks to the rumors, no new attempts at espionage and information gathering took place near the Luther family home and their activities continued in peace and the preparations for the product launch neared completion.
The top families that had been unable to gather any information were frustrated. They too had their own businesses and were wondering whether this new product would end up rendering any of their own businesses obsolete.
Other than that, there was also curiosity that wouldn't let them rest at ease. Up to that point, Zach had only pulled off feats that were close to miracles and these top families knew that. The fact that this new product was being promoted on such a grand scale told them the actual worth of the product and they both wanted to be a part of it if possible.
The product launch had become a popular topic amongst the rich as the rising Luther family had created a huge hype regarding the topic from as early as three weeks before the actual launch date.
The families even tried to approach the members of the household in an attempt to find someone who was willing to be a mole or someone who would leak the information to them. But to their misfortune, some of the servants didn't know anything at all and the others who were in the know were so tight lipped that even bribes as high as the sky were unable to shake off their fanatical loyalty.
When underhanded means failed and no family was able to acquire any kind of information regarding the project, they could only resort to using friendly means.
Therefore both the families sent their special envoys in order to extend their congratulations on what seemed to be a successful venture. And at the same time both showed their interest in investing in their product on the pretense that they were worried that the product wouldn't be able to see the light due to the pressure of the other families. After all the Luther family had spent too much on promotion and thought that they might be lacking in funds now. On the same pretext, the families wanted to preview the item so that they could invest more if the Luther family could convince them that the product had true business value.
Of course their feeble attempt was seen through by Bruce in a second. Because the Luther family not only did not need any funds but also wouldn't lack investment once the product was unveiled. The reason was that Bruce knew the effect that this product would have on the world and was therefore confident of attracting investment after the product launch. In fact he was sure that families and businessmen would soon be dying to invest in their product.
Bruce didn't entertain the envoys for very long and after a delicious supper, he excused himself and asked the guards to escort out the esteemed guests with respect.
Of course the envoys had been tasked with getting as much information as possible from the Luther family manor. But to their horror, not even a little bit of information could be gleaned from all the parts of the household they visited; almost as if it had all been carefully planned by the Luther family leader Bruce.
…
Not long after, the appointed day dawned and various families from different parts of the city took their beautiful gilded carriages with intricate designs and metalwork to one specific corner of the city where the residence of the Luther family had always been.
