The Strongest Beast Tamer - 180 Heavy Competition
Chris and Christina stared at the group with eye eyes momentarily, their brains attempting to process the information sent them into a frozen state. Finally, once they finished realising what was said they both dashed towards the group and grabbed hold of Flynn’s hands.
“We would love to do business with you, hell, we’ll even give you a discount,” Chris said proudly as he also attempted to suck up to Flynn. Flynn was the only normal looking one amongst the group, not to mention with his earlier encounter Chris realised Flynn was likely the one in charge of business.

Although arrive just seconds late Christina showed more sincerity in her voice as she clasped Flynn’s hands. “Don’t listen to Chris, my company would love doing business with you and your renowned group.” Although Bloodied Wings was relatively unknown to the entire world, once they started travelling from one city to the other just about all American citizens were talking about them now.
“How about we just work with both of you?” Flynn asked with a bright smile. Now that they knew who they were Flynn managed to gain control over the conversation and flow of the deal. From all the information he has, both businesses wouldn’t be able to provide them with the necessary materials. And although it would be no different if the two were to combine, there’s another reason entirely.
“Huh? You want to work with this bogan?” Christina asked in annoyance as she pointed to Chris. “I’d rather have my leg ripped off before making a deal with him, there’s no way, just no way in hell that I would ever consider it.”
“Oh, so all you need is for you legs to be ripped off?” Aside from the group, no one noticed Chloe’s movements. As of now, she was currently squatting next to Christina holding onto Christina’s leg, a cold smile on her face as she glanced at Flynn who was currently still holding hands with Christina.
Flynn felt a chill go up his spine as he felt as though there was a beast staring at him right now. He swiftly leg go, he’d rather not get on the bad side of his wife. “Please, I would suggest reconsidering your choice. We already know you don’t have the ability to provide the materials by yourself, but with the assistance of Chris we should be able to create a fairly good dormitory.”
The main reason as to why Flynn wanted to two to work together was for the benefits of both businesses. While Chris specialises in construction, Christina specialises in both fashion and furniture. By getting them to work together they should be able to build an excellent dormitory. Although it wouldn’t be the way they’ll want it out, it’s currently better than nothing.
“Tsk, I suppose there’s nothing else I can do about this,” Christina said as she clicked her tongue in annoyance. She turned to Chris, her hair flipped and flew through the air. “Alright you piece of shit, since we’re going to be working together, you’ll have to listen to what I have to say. I’m the designer so I don’t want none of your reinforced concrete ideals.”
“Those reinforced concrete ideas are what created the wall around the city,” Chris remarked proudly as he glanced outside the working area. His line of sight directed towards the large wall. “And because of that, you’re able to relax a bit and focus on your creativity and imagination. So, at the very least I should deserve a thank you.”
“Yeah, thanks then,” Christina muttered faintly in an arrogant tone as though Chriswas supposed to do that. “You were hired by the military to create the wall. If you happened to create a shitty one, I suppose we would have been annihilated. So, I suppose I can however thank you for not being a shitty constructor.”
“Ha, I’ll take it,” Chris said as he put a thumbs up. It wasn’t as though this was the first time he’s interacted with his ex-wife in such a manner. After all, the business in construction is large with many smaller competitors. However, something everyone seeking a constructor also needs is furniture. And although he hasn’t informed Christina himself, he’s always suggested her business to them.
Turning their attention back to Flynn they quietened down. Flynn smiled and nodded silently. Clapping his hands together he begun speaking. “Alright, now that it’s all sorted, I suppose we should get into business. Chris, would we be able to use your office to finish and sign off the deals.”
“Yes, it’ll be my pleasure,” Chris nodded vigorously and joyfully. Leading Flynn along with Chloe and Christina away and up the stairs. Finally, once they reached the office and entered and sat down around the table.
The group turned to the female soldier that had been accompanying them as well as escorting them. They didn’t know what to do, however, the female soldier that lives here should have plenty of knowledge about the city. Maybe even some that most won’t know about.
Seeing so many eyes gather on her she nervously giggled as she scratched her head. Her superiors informed her beforehand about Bloodied Wings and how, should Bloodied Wings ever make it to Atlanta, she should escort them around the city to the best of her ability.
“Oh right, we also have two businesses we want to set up in the city. Are there any decent locations for a butcher or meat distributer as well as a restaurant or food truck?” Marie asked as she got closer to the female soldier. She was standing at the back of the group, hidden away due to the group’s vibrant armour. The female soldier almost completely forgot about Marie’s existence.
“Yes, we have plenty of spaces available in the food section of the city,” the female soldier responded as she nodded with a wide smile. She felt as though she was greatly comforted at the sight of a normal human, wearing normal clothes. Currently, Valentina and her family are still on the island waiting for the group to return with confirmation.
“Food section?” Marie, as well as the entire group was confused at the term.
“Yes, the city is split into multiple districts with the food district being one of the biggest, just second from the residential district,” the female soldier explained. “The reason behind this is just to simply make the city easier to understand while keeping things organised. Since the food district is in the centre of the city it’s the easiest to get to which is what the officials want.”
The group had agree, it certainly made things easier when coming to understand the layout of the city. Unlike most cities and towns which have would restaurants, cafés, and bakeries around the entire city, Atlanta has them all gathered in one place. Which is both good and bad for business.
Location is everything. For example, being the only café in a smell section of the city would garner the attention of all residents. However, once everything is gathered into one place it creates an intense competition which most people won’t be able to compete in. It’ll require both sources for ingredients as well as skilled cooks. Not to mention the menu will have to be one which is affordable. If not, most people won’t even give a place a second glance.
“Just wondering, where might the Explorer’s guild be?” Lachlan asked. The Explorer’s Guild was a crucial part in their business no matter what. They needed to get priority on all kills so that both businesses would have sources.
“Uh, that’ll be in the business district located roughly 1 kilometre away eastward. It’s a fairly large building with a unique design, it should be obvious once you spot it,” the female soldier explained kindly. The group remembered a building that they saw when they were on the island.
It was certainly located eastward of where they were, the building was made entirely from the bones of beasts. And although the group weren’t too sure on what the beast looked like when it was alive, its bones were strong and sturdy.
Turning to Marie, Lachlan explained his thoughts. “You should probably go to the Explorer’s Guild to try and strike a deal with them. We’ll go with Mariel to the other locations and pick some places out to double check.” Lachlan had already analysed the female soldier and knew her name was Mariel, she wasn’t all that strong but had good intelligence as well as a strength in leadership.
“Alright,” Marie nodded before walking off.
“Hmm, I don’t remember telling you my name,” Mariel said as she tilted her head in confusion, attempting to remember if she or any of the subordinates with her mentioned her name. “I really can’t remember. Do you know of me somehow?”
“What are you talking about, you mentioned it when you first introduced yourself to us, maybe you’ve already forgotten,” Lachlan immediately lied about the matter. Fortunately, he’s lie was completely believable and fooled Mariel as well as her subordinates.
Phoebe elbowed Lachlan in the sides and whispered into his ear. “Dumbass, you have to remember that lying might not always work. Just remember to now use their names if they haven’t introduced themselves, it’ll cause problems if people catch on, right?”
“Yeah, sorry,” Lachlan apologised as he scratched his head. He didn’t expect for his actions of be so careless, fortunately, his abilities in lying actually worked this time around. But Phoebe had a valid point, not everyone will fool for his lying.
Mariel led them to the centre of the city, into the food district which was flourishing with crowds of people. Businesses lining the sides of streets, some using different methods of getting even a glance from someone with their vibrant colours and unique names.
“Dragon Eats God’s Food!”
“Devil’s Apple!”
Those two names stood out the most amongst all the others, their signs were vibrant in colour not to mention large. In comparison, the building the signs were attached to didn’t match. The buildings were single story, had a olden Japanese style in their design. However, the two buildings looked fairly old and rigid, as though they’ll collapse if someone were to poke it. But considering the competition in the foo district it’s likely that they have something unique about them.
“Do you think Elena and Pedro will be able to create a decent food truck here?” Lachlan asked for the group’s opinion. With competition this fierce it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just back down and go to another city. After all, they’ll need to start the business as well as find some chefs that’ll be able to keep the business going once they leave.
“Maybe not,” Joe wasn’t too sure himself. He wasn’t all that into the business world and liked the more relaxing environment on the farms along with his parents. Similarly, Zoe also agreed with what Joe said.
“Although it’ll be difficult, if Marie manages to strike a good enough deal it might still be possible,” Georgia said as she gently stroked her chin. “Granted, we might need to stay here for a bit longer than usual to make sure to food truck doesn’t fall through too quickly.”
The group nodded. Unfortunately, the future is undetermined for all of them. Whether or not they would be able to set up a successful food truck depends entirely on their hard work. Granted, it’s more so the hard work of Elena and Pedro but they’ll help out here and there.
