Chapter 129 The Wise Lloyd.



Watching them from a distance was his grandmother who was in extreme shock. Since when did this begin happening, she wondered. Standing next to her was Markay who was holding a vacuum cup of hot milk tea which he was sipping slowly. 

"How long has he been training her Markay?" 

"I think it has been around three weeks now, he said that she catches on pretty fast. All that\'s dragging her down is her low mental strength." 

"You have been here long enough to form your own opinion of her, what do you think of her?" 

Markay thought for a while, icy blue eyes moving around as his mind worked, combining everything he had seen and heard ever since he first stepped foot on the blue star. 

"I think he is lucky to have her." he said honestly. 

Cecily snorted and she laughed dryly, "My grandson, lucky!!! to have her, I don\'t know if you are insulting Esong or myself." 

"Esong is your pride and joy but he can also be cold, unreceptive, arrogant and a bastard. You should admit facts when they are true, he is a general that\'s true, he is fierce in battle, extremely true. He is the greatest mecha warrior of our time, no doubt. But do not underestimate his wife, she is a force to be reckoned with and from what I can see she has only scratched the surface of her greatness. Time might come when people do not say Scarlet was lucky to marry Esong but rather he is the lucky one to have married her." 

"You speak so highly of her, Is it because you are courting her sister?" Cecily was still filled with doubts. 

"My relationship with Carolyn Su is separate from the value of Scarlet Su. Moreover my Carolyn is just as skilled and talented as her sister. Almost every machine you see on this planet has been personally crafted by her before it went into production. You have been watching Scarlet like a spy ever since you arrived so I am sure that you have observed just how creative, fierce, passionate and good she is. Whatever assessments you have been doing must be coming to a conclusion now, my advise to you is that you should not forget that she is Justin\'s mother. When given a choice between you and his mother he will choose her, and with time, so will Esong." Markay was brutally honest with Cecily, not holding a single thing back. He had known Esong long enough to see the changes in him lately. Give him enough time and he would be professing his love to his wife. 

 Away in the capital, a serious campaign to smear food had been launched by a few of the nutrient solution companies two days ago. They were trying hard to hide it but it was plain to see that they were behind it. All of a sudden, out of nowhere almost every television network was talking about the dangers of food. 

One live streamer even ate a raw potato developed hives and collapsed to a point that he had to be rushed to a hospital. Another was scratched by a chicken which apparently poisoned him causing a near death. All that was left was for someone to die before an official investigation into food could be launched. 

Even if all this was obviously a smear campaign, it did not stop majority of the commoners to backtrack and return to purchasing nutrient solutions in plenty. The companies which were involved in the smear campaign were proud of themselves when they noticed that their sales were going back up.

The three bosses of these companies, Samael Rogan excluded were currently meeting in a secluded entertainment club on the six hundredth floor of an entertainment building to celebrate their victory. The irony was that they were feasting on fries and deep fried shrimp to celebrate their victory. Unknown to them, a small drone was recording all this and transmitting it to a paparazzo who had been lurking around the entertainment building in the hopes of finding anything.

The paparazzo was not the only one that was watching, a separate team which was under the control of the third princess under the authority of the emperor was also keeping an eye on these men. Their crimes were being compiled and soon, they would be arrested. 

Somewhere else in the capital a young woman who named herself cutie carrot online was unloading and categorizing everything that had been sent to her from the blue star. Her father and brother were watching her meticulously record these items separating them into different categories. 

"Brother, I did good right?" she would occasionally raise her head and ask. 

"You did excellent." her brother replied. "With all these spices, we will be able to launch our own potato snack soon." 

"Everything else is mine." Cutie carrot reminded her elder and only brother. 

"Of course, I would love to have a taste of some fruits though." 

Cutie Carrot pouted and crossed her arms , "That\'s not what you promised." she glared at her brother unhappily. 

Their father was watching them with an indulgent smile on his face. This man was one of the nineteen who had been invited to the meeting with Samael Rogan. He was Darren Vangar, the owner of Nutri nutrients, a moderately successful nutrient solution company. What most people were not aware of was that he was not the brain behind the recipes in the company, his twenty year old son Lloyd Vangar was. When Samael sent out that invitation, Lloyd told his father to go and watch but not say much, he even predicted what the content of the meeting would be about. 

Unlike the other idiots who saw food as a threat, he and his son saw it as another opportunity to widen the scope of their products. Scarlet herself had used nutrition solutions in some of her recipes which meant that they would not go out of the market, they were still useful and moreover they were good for mental strength wielders. Rather than sit back and dread the introduction of food, Lloyd went to his lab and came up with a snack. All he needed were spices which his sister acquired for him. 

"Here, taste my snack and compare it to the potato chips on the market." he surprised his sister by handing her a somewhat similar but different looking package to the blue star chips. 

His sister grabbed it tore it open and looked at the weird shape first, "these are straight like sticks."

"Yes, I was inspired by the sugarcanes, they look like sticks but hold sweet water inside." Lloyd replied. 

Cutie carrot took the first tentative bite of the crunchy snack. 

"How is it?" Father and son looked at her curiously. 

"Sweet, it tastes like a crisp but also not, something is different about it. I like it."

Lloyd nodded, "We don\'t have access to as much cooking oil as the blue star governor so I dried them slightly, then brushed them with oil and then air fried them." He explained his processed proudly. 

Cutie carrot ate the rest of the snack happily, but it was finished in only a few mouthfuls. "Oh, why is there too little? You are selling air just like them." she complained. "Why can\'t you all give us our money\'s worth?" 

"We are preserving the crunchiness." Lloyd laughed at his sister. "As my sister you will eat as many as you want, don\'t worry. Father I am sure that the royal family will make a move soon and when they do we will launch our Nutri chips on that very day. With all these spices we can create a variety, we should patent the design of our snacks since anyone can create their own recipe as long as they have access to potatoes. When everyone realizes that they could have been branching out instead of allowing themselves to be used, the Rogan\'s will pay a heavy price for their arrogance and cunning."
