Kyle nodded, taking a few potions. He didn’t need to pay Haui, as he had already provided twenty percent of the profits.
The men walked to the store entrance before Haui stopped Kyle. “A fair warning-the Ardent Cretins already have an observer watching this district. They are always watching. Do not act too overtly if you want to remain under the radar. I’d prefer it if another gang didn’t steal you away just yet. If you’re going to sell potions, do not oversupply like you did for the Red Lions. That alone might already cause the Alchemists’ Guild to start asking too many questions. Keep any subsequent contracts below a hundred for now.”
Haui and Kyle stepped outside, only to see the gang members and the private guards about ready to come to blows. They were throwing insults with wanton abandon. Haui sighed and called the private guards back.
The gang members were astonished even as the fight broke up. Today was a day of surprises, seeing how Kyle had successfully negotiated with two separate individuals.
“Hey, I thought Alv-Kyle was all about beating people up? I was almost certain I would see Haui beaten into a pulp.”
“Yeah, not sure what has gotten into him.”
Kyle ordered the gang members to return with him. As he walked, he noticed a lone local enforcer of the Sanctum eyeing him carefully.
The enforcers seemed to be on to me as well.
With so many major powers watching him, every action he took from now on had to be measured. Haui was right in that he was indeed planning to sell more potions, but he now had to limit the supply.
This also meant that prices would need to be in line with the current market. With this, Haui’s profit margin for the basic potions would still be fairly secured.
He sure is crafty.
I must find a way to either get rid of him or integrate him into the gang. The Alchemists’ Guild must be extremely dangerous if every alchemist is like this.
Returning to the Seven Snakes’ base, Kyle began his potion discovery process, attempting to master the strength potion recipe. More ingredients were involved, so he tried everything he could think of.
With a simple distillation process, he managed to separate the liquid from the dissolved Greis Powder, though another material sludge was mixed into the residue. He grabbed the flask of residue, examining it.
Residue of Strength Potion
A mixture of Greis Powder and Olio Roots.
Inflicts extreme muscle pain on consumption.
He then picked up the condensed liquid that had been distilled.
Concentrated Yul’s Tears
Increases metabolism rate as well as energy transfer through the human body.
Grants explosive strength, though it should not be drunk directly in its current concentrated form.
