Anton saw that Anna and Lunelle were enjoying looking at the beautiful trinkets that they had purchased from the low-end bazaar and Anna kept choosing items and claiming that it was now hers. Whenever Lunelle showed an interest in one of the items, Anna gave it to her without any hesitation.
“If you sell those, you’ll earn a lot of gold coins!” Fenix told the girls.
The girls ignored Fenix and kept on checking out the various items.
“You don’t need to worry about that Fenix since when we purchased the items yesterday, we had the intention of keeping them to ourselves. Those are the items that we would sell. You can check them out if you want to,” Anton pointed at the chests that had the repaired items already.
Fenix looked interested so he approached the chest and Devon joined him. When they opened the chests, their expressions were just the same as the girls when they were perusing the knick-knacks they bought from the bazaar that was now fully repaired.
Anton could hear Devon and Fenix talking to each other about how beautiful the weapons and the armor sets were and they also talked about the probable value of the items. A knock then came from the door and Colin let the waiters enter to lay down their lunch on the table. Anton and Colin sat on the chairs at the dining table and then called the others but they told him to eat first since they were not done examining the items.
Anton just shrugged and together with Colin started eating. After they were done eating, Lucas came in bringing a few more chests carried by men he assumed as their newly hired attendants. Lucas then saw Devon and Fenix examining the newly repaired items so he joined them.
He couldn’t help but smile when Anton saw the men checking out the weapons and the armor sets because they looked like children examining a chest full of toys. Even the girls were the same since they were still perusing the items they purchased from the bazaar.
With the help of Colin and some of the guys that Lucas brought in, they laid down the newly brought items then Anton began the process of having Charsi repair the items one by one. Before he brought one item from his inventory out, Lucas ran and stopped him. Then he told the men that he brought to get out of the suite.
“What happened? It thought those were the men Father hired?” He asked Lucas.
“They were but your father told us to tell you not to show anyone else your repair magic.”
“Well, the only new one who knew is Fenix so go talk to him and tell him not to spread it out.”
Lucas then went to Fenix and talked to him and since the new men were not there anymore, Anton continued repairing the new items. There were also five new chests so after repairing a few items, he repaired the chest so Colin could put the newly repaired items into the chest.

It took Anton another couple of hours to complete repairing all of the newly brought items and he didn’t notice that Lucas had already left. After repairing all of the items, he saw that the others were also checking out the newly repaired items so he went to the bathroom that was located in the bedroom he shared with his Father and took a bath.
While he was soaking in the bath filled with mana water that he conjured, he opened his internet browser and checked out the newly announced anime that was coming out.
After his bath, he went and rested on the bed while watching an anime. Soon Anders called from outside the room so he closed his browser and went outside.
“I’m so glad you already repaired the items son and you even repaired the chests! We managed to purchase three carriages and two carts and we specifically chose those old and worn-out carriages and carts so we could save some gold coins,” Anton’s father told him.
“I thought you’re not letting others see me repair items?”
“The carriages are different and we’ll do it once no one is looking on the day of our departure.”
“Are you still planning to purchase more?”
“Yes, and we will also begin purchasing other items aside from weapons and armor tomorrow. We also hired a lot of people we have a lot of attendants now who will do all the chores and we also hired a few more mercenaries as our bodyguards. Lucas will be their captain.”
Anton paused a bit and asked to talk to his father inside the room.
“What’s the problem, son?”
“Father, I will still need to focus on my meditations and that means that I will not be able to focus on our business. You don’t need to tell me the details, just ask me to repair the items that need to be repaired. I would also suggest that you begin purchasing regular products and have the repaired items as a supplement.”
“You didn’t have to tell me that son since that was my plan all along. We would still need you to repair a lot of things at the beginning since we still need to build our capital but once our merchant company is big enough, you will not need to do it anymore someday. Also, once we leave the city, we will begin conducting as a regular merchant caravan so our food and water will be handled by our attendants. You don’t need to know the details but of course, I would suggest that you still store a lot of cooked food in your magical space for emergencies.”
Anton thanked his father then Anders continued telling his son his plans.
“You can still provide mana water for our family and Lucas’s family and everyone else who knew about it but for our regular employees, we will begin collecting water and food normally. We will also need to travel normally and no more rushing about. Although we heard that the Holy City of Tiande was already at war with the Undead Coalition so we will leave the day after tomorrow.”
Anton and Anders left the room after they talked so they could eat dinner with the others. He saw that Nemina, Lunelle, and a couple of other women who more than likely were the secretaries that Anders and Nemina hired were cataloguing all the items that were repaired by him.
He also saw that there were a few more chests by the side of the room that needed to be repaired. Anton could differentiate them since the chests that he repaired looked brand new while the new ones were battered.
“Tomorrow, Nemina and I will separate. I will handle buying more carriages and carts and Nemina will handle buying items. I hired a few people who will assist me and so has Nemina,” Anders told Anton while they were eating.
“All of the people we hired are committed to moving with us and most of them would be bringing their family with them. A lot of people were aware that the Holy City of Tiande and The Undead Coalition were at war but that war would probably take a long time since the Holy City is also very powerful,” Nemina added.
Anton saw that Anna and Lunelle had worried looks on their faces but suddenly felt relieved when they heard that the war between Tiande and the Undead Coalition would take a while before they reached this city and by then they would be long gone.
