The next day Yuki was given a big surprise. “My name is Tom Creeger. I am the CEO of Soul Fusion Online. On behalf of the company, I am sorry you had to go through such an ordeal. We have now begun doing home checks and complete background checks on our Game Master staff to ensure that none of them are the same as Mimi was. We will also be offering you a ten percent stake in Soul Fusion Online as well.”
A tall man in a blue suit bowed his head in front of Yuki to show his apology. Yuki scratched her head since she really didn’t care because of what happened with Mary. It allowed her to have an experience she never thought would be possible and meet someone she missed very much. But getting a ten percent stake in Soul Fusion Online for free was not a bad deal. “I understand. I accept your apology. But for the shares, can you place them under my fiancee’s name?”
“Yuki!?” Trisha was surprised. Although they were both well off now with her own runes selling quite well, she still combined her money with Yuki’s so that they didn’t need different accounts.
“It’s just a precaution, in case something happens to me. I mean, I have already been shot and drugged, who knows what will happen next.” Yuki did not like thinking like this, but if things did go bad, she did not wish to have too many things under her own name. She would rather move it to Trisha’s name or her mother’s.
“If that is what you wish,” Tom replied. He did not question Yuki’s actions. She was someone who is a self made billionaire after all. A ten percent stake in his company was just a drop in the ocean for her.
“By the way, Tom, I would still like to do the interview, but I wish to have time for two things I would like to talk about that will be off topic if that is fine.” Yuki did not give up on wanting to publicize the orphanages and the city.
“That’s fine. But may I ask if one of them will be about the city you are creating?” Tom asked. He had been keeping a close eye on this, and the reason he did not stop it was because it was an excellent way to make money and bring more companies into the game to invest even if it veered off the main track of how the game was supposed to be played.
“Yes, one of them will be. Why do you ask?” Yuki was now in her own little business mode. She was not smart about business, but she was not going to let anyone swindle her. She would listen to it all before getting back to them. If the deal was good, she would contact them back. Of course, she would be talking to Greg’s brother James first.
“We also wish to invest in the city as well, and we’re hoping you would make a shopping district. We want to sell shop items in your city. If you are willing to give us a bit of a discount, I will give you access to world teleporters that will allow you to set up teleporters anywhere in the world that will connect directly to your city.” Tom thought this was a good deal since there was no world teleport option as of yet. The only way was to merge a guild into a clan like how Yuki did, and then only the guild houses the merged guild had would become available to that clan. And that clam only.
“I think you are a little late on that.” Yuki gave a smug grin. “We are already on the verge of making long distance teleporters using magic. And… If you make it, so they do not work to squeeze in your deal, I will never sign any deal or allow any of your merchandise to be sold in my city. And do not think you can threaten me with my account. Right now, you need me. As I have the backing of the royal family.”
Tom’s face went sour. He couldn’t help but bitterly laugh. She was completely right. The reason why Soul Fusion Online was flourishing right now was due to Yuki having the backing of the king himself! He even received a call from the king telling him that he better not shut down the servers for any reason! Something about his precious daughter and daughter in law was playing the game and having fun. “What can we offer then?”
“Hmm… I want a full remake of the quests for the starting area of what used to be Flim Village, Westfall city, and Roland. I will be expanding Serenity city to these areas, and once the city is built we the old quest locations will all be within the city. We also need our buildings to have no monster spawning zones. With that, I will only charge you one percent of your monthly income in silver and will provide you with an entire building for Soul Fusion Online. You will still need to pay rent, though.” Yuki did not need James for this deal. Mainly because what she was asking was absolutely absurd and would cost the company a ton of money.
“Done. I will get my planning team going on a patch that will give you complete control of the areas around those three places as well as the areas between them. You will get a special crafting window that will allow you to designate the zones you wish to be monster free, move spawn points where you wish, and as for the quests, my team will set them up per area when they are completed. This special crafting window can be given to others as well, so you will not need to do all the work yourself. I will make it a city owner option so you can designate who can do what from there. Just give us two weeks to set it all up.” Tom had no issues doing this. While this gave Yuki a lot of perks for her city, it would also fix a lot of things that could go wrong with this city. But having only one percent of their monthly income taken plus paying rent was not bad, and the money Serenity would be receiving in that one percent plus rent would be no small sum. It was win win.
