Weapon seller in the world of magic

Shang Wen heavily resembles the Emperor, whether it is the appearance of the personality.

As Mark met the Emperor during the public trial, he couldn't help but remember his biological father when he looked at the prince. His inner devil from the heart kept whispering in his head to click the trigger and injure one of his eyes. On the other hand, the inner devil from the brain tells that it is a foolish choice because he is a potential golden goose that will make him richer.

Mark went into a dilemma for a few seconds. The second prince saw that Mark was hesitating to shoot and misunderstood that the latter was waiting for the signal.

He shoots out a fireball and lets it explode in the air.

"Nah, let's not do that." Mark's ambition for developing the store outweighed his revenge for the Imperial family. So, he threw away an opportunity to ambush the second prince and continued with the demonstration.

Of course, there are other reasons too. It is because the person is the second prince, Shang Wen. If it is someone else, it would be different.

The Crown prince dragged him to the public trial with false allegations adding to his crimes. The Queen consort sacrificed him for the sake of her prestige. Of course, the Emperor is an indirect reason for her action.

Bai Xun isn't an imperial prince but he is a part of the imperial family as he married the Emperor's younger sister. He is forever loyal to the throne and wouldn't hesitate to kill him if it's an order from the Emperor. So, he can be considered as an enemy too.

But, the second prince is different from them.

Not only Shang Wen understands his personality very well but even publicly showed his support. He is also known for being a righteous and straightforward character. Adding on top of that, this prince is a potential client that can solve his worries about completing the quests.

Mark had a good impression of the second prince and wouldn't mind being an ally.

*Bang*

He finally shot at the chest of the prince, which did nothing but still, the latter was surprised not only by how fast this 0.5 caliber/12.7mm ammunition had struck him even from a half kilometer away but also with Mark's skills, especially his accuracy with both rocket launcher and this sniper rifle.

Once might be a coincidence, but striking him twice, is a skill.

A thought appeared in his head.

Meanwhile, Mark stood up on his feet and gestured with his hand to come over.

As the prince returned to the rock formations within a minute of flying, Mark then spoke, "These are the new weapons I currently possess. Apart from the weapons, I have different types of explosive devices known as grenades, like one of them release smoke to cover you, one of them explodes, one of them stun the enemies, one of them bring tears and skin irritation, and one of them just releases fires."

"Oh…" The second prince was listening to his explanation carefully. When he heard the explanations, he could instantly guess how they will be useful to their army. He was looking forward to the next demo.

But, then, Mark's next sentence disappointed him.

"I didn't have them with me to show you the demo. By the time you return to the Imperial City again, the first batch of those explosive devices might arrive at the store." Mark finished his explanation and proceeded to ask him about his decision.

Shang Wen had already decided on what to do with them. He replied, "I'll be straight with you. The newly created firearms division is facing a lot of issues while training with just the gun. Before I bring in the commoners, I'm experimenting with Spirit Warriors in my army because even in the case of self hurting, they would be fine as the bullets don't do that much damage.

However, now, you demonstrated weapons, which are of higher grade and more powerful. In this case, to complete the training, we might need one experienced person to train our troops."

Mark didn't like where this is going. He felt like the prince would ask for Alina. If that is the case, were his words just straightforward like his character known in public, or whether he was just aiming for her just like other lustful nobles.

But, then, as he patiently listened to his proposal until the end, Mark realized that he just misunderstood and sighed in relief that he did a good thing to be patient.

"So, let me get this straight, I'll stay three-seven days with your regiment and train one of your soldiers. In return, you'll purchase 20-M99 sniper rifles, 10-Rocket Launchers, 10-Grenade launchers, and their respective ammo 100 in number per firearm.

And once your firearm division gets approval, you will increase those numbers to at least five times?

But, whenever you buy a new weapon in bulk number, I will have to train one soldier for three days to one week." Mark said to him with his heart beating rapidly in excitement due to the result of calculations.

"And that required number for your services will be decided by a negotiation between us," The Second prince added another clause, which favors Mark.

After calculating the total amount, Mark then said, going into a merchant mode, "each M99 will cost 250 gold coins, and each 12.7mm round costs 1 gold coin. The stand is free.

Each Pzf 3-IT 600 rocket launcher will cost 1000 gold coins and each 110mm Heat warhead costs 5 gold coins.

Each Grenade launcher will cost 300 gold coins and each 40mm grenade costs 5 gold coins.

This deal will cost you a total of 30,000 gold coins. Our store has an offer where the customers will get 10% additional ammunition if they buy 100 or more. So, you will get 110 of each type of ammunition in return.

For an advanced order, a minimum of 20% of the full amount should be paid upfront. So, that's 6000 gold coins.

As for the delivery rate, you can pick up everything from the store, a week after my return. To be safe, either you have to come personally to pick them up or it should be the most trusted person of you like for example, the one who I will train.

If this is okay with you, please prepare a contract during my stay here."

"30,000, huh," The second prince thought for a bit and nodded, "alright, it will be done. Now that we're finished with the demonstration of new firearms, I'm returning to the campsite."

The second prince was never the one who sugarcoat his words or actions. He came here to meet the weapon seller for something. He was finished and he expressed his intentions to return to the camp without wasting the time.

But, Mark wasn't done with his demands yet. He stopped him, "wait a second, Your Highness. I have something else to speak."

The second prince who was about to fly away looked at him curiously. "What is it?"

Mark let out a smile and replied, "The Dungeon Break, I want to give another live demonstration, a practical one against the beasts. I need the cooperation of you and your soldiers…"

Upon hearing the plan, Shang Wen furrowed his brows, "a barrier?"
