303: A VALUABLE PIECE

A VALUABLE PIECE

A smile on Lou's lips, but there was this fire on his eyes when he stared at Cane, as the alpha sat down on the sofa and waved his hand, indicating for him to sit down too. 1

This orphanage was not the merchant's place and he was only a guest here, but the way Cane treated him was too outrageous! He only came to visit and give Iris a bucket of flower, why he became so hostile?!

Lou really wanted to curse this alpha!

But in the end, he kept his smile and sat down docilely, or that's how he wanted to appear in front of the alpha, so Cane wouldn't put his guard too high with him. So bad for him, since his intention was very clear that he wanted to be close with his mate, there was no way Cane would put his guard down.

"What do you want to talk about?" Cane asked, straight to the point as always, he didn't even bother to offer the merchant drink or even dinner together out of politeness. "I think it will be months later before we will discuss the magical device."

Lou was still working on the magical device for the capital city and there was no certain date when he would go to the Blue Moon pack and the Howling Wolf pack, thus this discussion was not necessary.

However, aside from this excuse, Lou couldn't think of a good one.

"I only want to discuss business with you, it's necessary to keep contact with people in business. After all, we have not yet met for long." Lou looked like a harmless man when he smiled at Cane, but of course, the alpha didn't buy it. "I want to leave a good impression for the citizen."

"Building magical device in the capital city around this time will leave a good impression on people about you." Especially after two monster attacks, no one would think bad about him.

"Yes, that's right, that's right." Lou nodded his head. His smile was exceptionally beautiful, but this irked Cane. "But, as a businessman, I need more. Capital city is the place where many great people gather around. Those people have many influence, even out of the continent." Lou leaned over, looked excited to lay his plan. "Since we are already do business and become a close acquaintance …"

"No, we are not."

Lou was speechless. He wanted to growl at the alpha. It was only a term of speaking. He didn't think they are close either!

Lou cleared his throat and shamelessly continued speaking, as if he didn't hear what Cane said. "I want to help with the orphanage too. I am sure I can be a great help!"

Hearing that, Cane could already guess what was in his mind. Somehow, this merchant must have read their movement that Iris would help with the orphanage, this was a way for them to warm up with people and with the help of prince Kellan, it would be the easier and safer way to calm down the public after the appearance of the lycan and also the rumor about Prince Vemion's kidnapping.

There was something wrong with this merchant. He was too persistent to be with his mate. It almost felt like he was infatuated with her, though they only met a handful of time. What he wanted from Iris?

Cane stood up after Lou stated his intention to come to the orphanage. "I should decline."

"Why?" Lou stood up as well. He had not yet explained to Cane what kind of help he was going to give to this place, but he already refused him? "Come and sit down, I have not yet told you what my plan for the orphanage."

Lou made the same gesture like Cane did when he told him to sit down.

However, it was so bad for him, the trick didn't work on the alpha, as he walked toward the door instead, as he spoke casually.

"This orphanage doesn't belong to me, this belongs to prince Kellan. I am not the right person to talk to."

Lou was seething. He had never been so pissed to someone so bad! If anything, it would always be him, who messed up with someone else.

However, his expression immediately changed when Cane abruptly stopped and then turned around to see the merchant before he reached the handle of the door.

"But, I can help you if you want to expand your business to Andelus continent."

Lou blinked his eyes. He forgot his anger and now it replaced with confusion. "How?" He had wanted to step into Andelus Continent, but it was not an easy feat, especially with his bad status as a merchant and the fact he was a sorcerer, who wanted to hide that side of his identity.

It was complicated, but he was willing to listen if there was a way for him to expand his business to Andelus Continent without implicated him.

On the other hand, Cane smiled, it was a rare smile, but one that could make you feel the chill down your spine.

After all, since this merchant kept insisting to appear time and time again and pester his mate. It wouldn't be hurt to add him into his chess board, after all, he was a valuable piece.

============================

The conversation between him and Lou didn't last for long, but it managed to leave the merchant even more speechless with the idea that Cane suggested. It blew his mind, but the fact he considered it, even left him dumbfounded, yet the risk that came with it was so great.

In the end, he could only say; I will think about it and I will get back to you soon.

With that, Cane left him alone inside the room, he couldn't care less whether he would go back to the palace or stay in the orphanage.

Meanwhile, right now, Cane walked toward his bedroom and found Iris was perusing her book. She had her back against him, thus she didn't notice him, since she was so immersed in what she was reading at the moment.

Cane leaned over and pointed a certain paragraph in the book. "We are no longer has the crystal orchid."

Iris screeched when suddenly someone extended his hand past her shoulder, she was surprised to see Cane there. Why she didn't realize he had been standing behind her?

"Cane? You surprised me."

However, Cane simply repeated what he said. "The Howling Wolf pack is no longer has the crystal orchid."

From the look of it, Iris seemed to change the topic of what she was reading, right now, she started to read about natural resources of every pack, and at this moment she was reading about the Howling Wolf pack.

"But why?"

Cane looked at her for a while. "Because the flower was rare to begin with and when the Blue Moon pack attacked my pack, they destroyed the last one."

Iris shifted her gaze uncomfortably when she was reminded of that, but for Cane, he only stated the fact, since she was asking about it. He didn't intentionally cause her discomfort.

"Let's have dinner." Cane ruffled her hair.
