While Johan was on his way to the Heavenly Palace, Carolina, and Andrew were in the office checking the account books. Normally it doesn't take that much time, but since they started making repairs to the place, as well as buying many items to improve the appearance and elegance of the place, they had to spend more time reviewing the income and expenses of each day.Not to mention that they had to discuss the reaction of the customers to the vastly changed Heavenly Palace. Despite only a week having passed, many changes had occurred. Not only had the facilities been improved a bit, but there was also a new fee for courtesan services and soon there would be a change in consumables as well. For these reasons, Carolina and Andrew spent long meetings discussing future plans and for this reason, they were practically locked up every morning after breakfast and didn't come out until lunchtime. While they were planning ahead, there was a knock at the door and Andrew let them in. One of the guards entered and notified Johan's arrival, so he thanked the guard and dismissed him. A few minutes later Victor arrived accompanied by Johan and his butler. After a brief greeting, the visitors took their seats and Johan said, "Mr. Andrew, I have come to inform you that the rejuvenating creams are a success". Andrew just smiled at the comment, like it was natural for it to happen. He didn't think it was strange, because he knew the effects of the cream, his system was infallible, not to mention that the courtesans and Carolina used it and he had been able to appreciate the obvious changes. Johan noticed that Andrew was unfazed by the news, but he didn't care and went on to say, "Well, it's normal that you are confident in your product, but my visit is not to notify you about it." Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I imagine the reception was very good and you wanted to come to see if production could be increased, right?" Andrew interrupted, guessing Johan's purpose in coming to the Heavenly Palace. He really didn't have to be a fortune teller for that. It had only been a week since he delivered the first batch of products and Johan had already come to visit him, there were only two possible options. The product was poorly received or on the contrary it was a novelty and since Johan had said that the creams were a success, the only reason for him to be here was to order more products. Johan understood that it was easy to deduce that, so he wasn't surprised by Andrew's question and only responded by nodding his head without saying a single word. Carolina didn't say anything either, she wanted to see what Andrew's answer was, because she also thought that increasing production was the best way. Andrew fell silent as if he was thinking of something and no one said anything, knowing that the young master of the Heavenly Palace was considering his options. Andrew was considering whether to increase the number of creams, but he had some problems. He could increase the amount of rejuvenating creams if he upgraded his synthesis ability, but upon consulting with Fluffy he learned that he would need 2 million points to double the ability's capacity. That is, he could produce 1,000 units of the products he wanted a day. The problem was that he didn't have as many points. Despite having fun every night with Carolina and even some mornings before getting out of bed, Andrew was clear that Eros's eyes were more important now. The money was easy to come by, but the points were not the same. Although Carolina, having the seal of love, allowed him to always earn points, they were not exorbitant amounts, as time went by the points went down and that is why he had to choose the skills he needed carefully. Improving Eros's eyes was his course of action, he needed to find talent to increase his strength. This world was dangerous and if he wanted to fulfill his goals, he needed to have more capable allies and subordinates. For the first thing, he already had Johan and he began to attract Candice's attention, but those alliances were small, new, and fragile, so he had to strengthen his own strength and for that the eyes of Eros were essential, so he refused to change his position for some extra gold coins. However, he found another outlet and began by saying, "How did you do on the pills and vitality drinks?" Johan did not understand why Andrew asked about these products, but he still replied, "They are selling well, but nothing extraordinary." Andrew again remained silent as if deciding something and in a few minutes, he spoke again, "I can double the amount of the rejuvenating creams per week, but I would have to cut the other two products in half." Johan understood at that moment why Andrew asked the above question, but he didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "I don't care, no offense Mr. Andrew, but if you can triple the creams and skip the other products, It would be even better." Johan knew that the money was in the creams, for him the other products were not attractive, as there were countless substitutes, so he preferred to sacrifice them for more creams, but Andrew disappointed him. "I'm afraid it's not possible. I know they don't make a profit for you, but they are essential to our business, even if you don't want them, I can only double the number of rejuvenating creams for now", said Andrew seriously letting Johan know that there was no bargaining ground. Understanding Andrew's intention, Johan did not press, but still asked, "May I know if Mr. Andrew intends to increase the amount in the future and if possible by what date?" This was the third time that Andrew fell into deep thought. He quickly calculated the approximate number of points he would earn having sex with Carolina based on the points he had earned this week and replied after a few seconds, "Probably in three months I could produce about 3,000 rejuvenating creams a week." He really could do it sooner, but he didn't want Johan to think that they could be mass-produced so quickly, he planned to do it gradually, but for Johan, it was wonderful news, as he was prepared to hear that it would be at least a year before he went back to double the amounts. "That's really wonderful, so Mr. Andrew I hope you doubled the creams for this week," Johan said as he stood up to shake Andrew's hand as a symbol of closing a deal. Andrew did the same and after shaking Johan's hand, the latter didn't stay any longer and said goodbye to him. Once Johan and his butler had left, Carolina asked, "Why not skip the other products, I really think we should focus on the creams." "Honney, keep in mind that even though they are not as lucrative as the creams, they are necessary for the activities of the Heavenly Palace, especially when we intend to expand the business," Andrew replied gently. Carolina remained silent thinking about what Andrew had said and she soon understood and spoke trying to confirm her theory, "Is it because your ability doesn't allow it?", Andrew smiled and nodded his head without saying anything. Although that was not the whole truth, it was certainly more convenient for him to batch-produce all three products every day, since they could not run out of inventory of any of them. Vitality drinks and birth control pills might not be sold much in Johan's pharmacy, but in the Heavenly Palace, it was different. The courtesans needed pills every day and even if it didn't seem like it, many customers consumed the vitality drinks, and the Heavenly Palace couldn't preside over them. Carolina did not ask anything else and after a soft and short kiss to her husband, she left the office to supervise the remodeling and other activities of the Heavenly Palace. Andrew smiled at Carolina's kiss because she was no longer so averse to displays of love like this during work hours and sat down at his desk to finish evaluating the accounting books. On the other hand, in the shopping area at the Cherry Blossom store, Candice was reviewing the information she had received about the popularity of the rejuvenating cream that her information agents had brought her. She was amazed at how miraculous it seemed to be. According to the information that she had, more than 10 baronesses had visited Johan's pharmacy in search of the cream and she, in astonishment, looked at the small wooden box that she had on her desk. She took one of the vials in the box and speaking to herself said, "Are you really that amazing?" as an unconscious movement she uncovered the jar and scooped up some cream she applied it to her face, neck, shoulders, and arms. "It feels a little sticky, but I guess that's normal," Candice said again, speaking to herself. Her butler was still by her side as usual, his gaze cold and unfazed by her boss's loud internal monologues. He was aware that Candice wasn't talking to him. It was normal to hear her sometimes saying her thoughts out loud when something caught her attention, that's why he didn't say anything. "Perhaps I should visit the young master of the Heavenly Palace?" Candice commented again with a strange smile. Her butler just looked at her and when he noticed that she was still talking to herself, he remained silent. At this point, Candice looked at her butler and asked, "Couldn't find information?" This time the butler answered, since it was evident that she was directing the question to him, "No ma'am, apparently the surveillance is quite close and that slave who visited us is always alert." Candice nodded. She knew that "That slave" was not normal in any way, the fact that her butler praised him was enough for her, for this reason, she did not bother with her information agents, because she knew that it was not an easy mission. After thinking about that, she spoke again, "I'll try this cream, for a week. If it is as incredible as the reports say, we will visit the Heavenly Palace." The butler responded seriously with a simple, "Yes ma'am."
