Han Dai approached the innkeeper, a stout man with a bushy mustache and a self-assured demeanor.
Han Dai took a confident stride towards the innkeeper, who stood behind a polished wooden counter adorned with intricate carvings.
Han Dai spoke with authority, clearing his throat to get the man's attention.
"Greetings, I am Gandalf Khaleesi, and this is my son Frodo Khaleesi. We have a proposition for you. We wish to purchase the Haven Inn," he announced, maintaining unwavering eye contact with the innkeeper.
The innkeeper, taken aback by the new customers' names and the boldness of the request, chuckled nervously. "You must be joking, sir. The Haven Inn is the pride of Jadesky City. We can not simply sell it to anyone who comes asking."
Han Dai's expression remained serious. "I assure you, we are quite serious about our intentions. To prove it, allow me to show you something."
With a flick of his wrist, Han Dai summoned a massive amount of gold coins, filling the room with their resplendent glow. The innkeeper's eyes widened in shock, his earlier skepticism replaced by a newfound respect for Han Dai and his son.
"Very well," the innkeeper stammered, suddenly eager to cooperate. "I will contact the owner of the Haven Inn immediately."
The owner of the Inn was one of the ministers of the royal court. When he heard some rich guests had arrived at his inn and filled the hall of the inn with gold, he hurried to the establishment.
When the minister arrived at the inn, his gaze immediately fell upon the veritable mountain of gold coins piled high and gleaming in the candlelight. He could barely contain his astonishment, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and disbelief.
"Gentlemen," the minister began, his voice wavering, "I must admit, I have never seen such a display of wealth in my life. This is a truly extraordinary offer."
Han Dai smiled, sensing the minister's eagerness. "Indeed, we are quite serious about our desire to purchase the Haven Inn. This gold is yours, should you agree to sell it to us."
The minister took a deep breath, pondering the life-changing implications of the decision before him. Finally, he extended his hand to Han Dai. "Very well, I accept your offer. The Haven Inn is yours."
With a firm handshake, the deal was sealed, and Han Cai and his team had secured the perfect base of operations for their mission in the heart of Jadesky City.
Rumors and gossip about the wealthy merchants from the Jianyu Islands buying the prestigious Haven Inn, now reestablished as the Khaleesi Inn, quickly spread like wildfire throughout Jadesky City, further reinforcing their cover. With each passing day, more and more people talked about the mysterious newcomers, their extravagant lifestyles, and their seemingly limitless wealth.
Han Cai meticulously oversaw the development of their businesses and properties, ensuring that they established a strong foothold within the city. Each enterprise was carefully chosen to complement its cover and create a network of influence throughout the capital.
Yongnian, with his keen eye for talent, was successful in recruiting a skilled workforce for their various enterprises. He carefully selected individuals who were not only competent in their respective fields but also loyal and discreet, ensuring that their cover would remain intact. The team members worked diligently, maintaining their guise as influential merchants while also gathering crucial information about the royal family and the political landscape of the Mystic Sky Kingdom.
One of the businesses they established was an auction house strategically located just opposite the Khaleesi Inn. They named it the Khaleesi Auction House. The building itself was a testament to their wealth and taste, with its imposing architecture and lavish interior design. Every detail was carefully considered, from the ornate chandeliers that hung from the ceiling to the plush velvet seating that lined the auction hall.
Han Cai was determined to make the Khaleesi Auction House the talk of Jadesky City, using various methods to promote the grand opening and pique the interest of the city's elite.
First, Han Cai commissioned the finest calligraphers in the city to create exquisite invitations and promotional materials for the event. These skilled artisans used their brushes to craft elegant and intricate designs that exuded sophistication and hinted at the luxurious items that would be available at the auction. The invitations were then hand-delivered to the most influential members of Jadesky City's nobility, ensuring that the event would be attended by the city's wealthiest and most powerful individuals.
In addition to the beautifully crafted invitations, Han Cai also enlisted the help of the city's most renowned storytellers. These talented individuals were known for their ability to captivate their audiences with vivid tales and enchanting narratives. Han Cai tasked them with spreading the word of the auction throughout the city, sharing stories of the rare and precious treasures that would be auctioned, particularly the Earth-grade weapons, which was said to possess incredible power and unmatched craftsmanship.
The storytellers began their work, visiting the bustling markets, teahouses, and taverns of Jadesky City. Their rich voices rose above the din of the crowds, weaving tales of the Earth-grade weapons and other priceless artifacts that would be up for grabs at the Khaleesi Auction House. These tales sparked the imagination of their listeners, leaving them eager to attend the auction and witness these extraordinary treasures for themselves.
As news of the auction spread, the citizens of Jadesky City couldn't help but be swept up in the excitement. Whispers of the Khaleesi Auction House's grand opening echoed throughout the city, and anticipation for the event reached a fever pitch. Even the city's elite, who were often jaded by the wealth and luxury that surrounded them, found themselves intrigued by the Earth-grade weapons and the other rare items that would be available at the auction.
With this planning and masterful promotion, Han Cai successfully made the Khaleesi Auction House the center of attention in Jadesky City.
