Chapter 15

Watching the debacle Joseph Morgan Approached the duo and asked John "John, I didn’t expect you to be here dueling with Young Master Antonio"

"Your skills in the arena surprised me quite a lot . Your swordsmanship was quite unique with some similarities to Flower swordsmanship Technique . "

Butler didn’t expect that John would have Joseph of the Morgan family as his acquaintance . Before John could even reply Butler first asked Joseph .

"I didn’t think Mr . Joseph knew this guy . "

"Well, we had some business earlier so we got to know each other . It was Jack who introduced me to him" Joseph deliberately mentioned Jack as he understood the situation John was in right now after the duel . However, he was very sure that Antonio and his men wouldn’t lay their hands on John directly now that they knew that he was one of his acquaintances .

Butler then turned to Eva and said to her in a displeased tone, "We will now take our leave now that the duel is over . " He then turned to the guards and then left with the unconscious Antonio from the arena .

After the Duel Eva and Josephine then met Joseph who was John’s acquaintance . After making their greetings they got to know about each other .

Joseph had just come here after taking back the second shipment of Soaps from John’s factory to the port and making another order of 10,000 soaps to Gordon . While he was in the market he saw that there was commotion so he came here to look at it and saw that it was John having a duel with Young Master Antonio .

Joseph actually warned John and her team that they should quickly escape the North-frontier town as it would be problematic in 6 months when the winter comes because this time the situation was quite different from earlier years . This year the wild animals were more than 10 times then it was earlier .

"From the information I received, it seems that Baron Mendez has decided to completely abandon the North-frontier town and wait for the situation to settle after winter . Although the situation right now is not so serious but after winter when food becomes scarce then it would be a different scenario . " Joseph said to them

Hearing this they were shocked at the development . They only thought the activity of the animals had only increased recently but didn’t think that it was such a situation .

After thinking for a while John asked Joseph "Joseph will it be possible to buy the north-frontier town from baron Mendez if I pay the necessary price to him? You see I feel at home over here at North-frontier town and I hope that I can at least do something for the town . "

Joseph then replied to him after some thought "Well its quite easy if you want to buy the North-frontier town from the Baron but after that debacle with Antonio, I think it would difficult to buy it from him at small money though . but I can still help you in negotiations as a mediator from my family connections . "

"You see North-frontier town’s yield at most is 1000 gold worth at most in a normal working year for the Baron . Plus later there are maintenance costs of roads which amount to 400 gold if done . That is the only cost that the baron mostly pays"

"usually he would mostly always try to sell his domain to most merchants at 6000 to 10000 gold coins but merchants aren’t really interested because we don’t see value in this land . I think it can be negotiable between 8000 to 12000 gold if we try it . What do you think?"

John directly agreed to Joseph and then later asked him for raw materials of Steam engine, Guns and Guns powers . He agreed to bring in these materials next time came to North-frontier town for his next batch of Soaps for a price of 8000 gold .

After saying their goodbye’s .

"It seems John you know a lot of skills apart from archery and knife skills or your knowledge capability," Sally asked John after a long time in smiling way yet teasing as well .

Eva and Josephine were quite skeptical but thought it might be his natural talent that makes him better at learning things .

"I just a know a little bit of everything," John said to sally with a poker face as he didn’t want to get caught in something which he cant explain . Sally didn’t bother him much as she knew everyone has their own secrets and asked the team to go towards the market as they still haven’t finished the shopping . While Eva and Josephine were in a hurry as they wanted to prepare for the village before winter came . They were quite worried about the village after getting Joseph’s information .

As John also needed a Three-legged Crow’s blood he soon got in the search of the blood while he joined them to the market .

After searching for a while He got into a shop . It was a big shop with 2 storeys which almost had everything .
