Supremacy Games

"Sorry sir, I have kept you waiting for a while now."

A young man with coiled brown horns on top of his head, long goatee on his chin, and hairy goat hoofs, bowed to Felix respectfully. Felix stood up from the lounge couch and bowed back in greeting.

"No need to apologize Mr. Goati," He smiled warmly, "I know that you are working hard to please two types of customers, day and night."

Felix eyed the stiff Mr. Goati with a hidden glint and continued with a respectful tone, "To own such a successful business, yet still head to the fields for a side job. Your hard-working character truly puts me in shame."

He sighed and let go of the sweaty palm of Mr. Goati, who didn't say a word since Felix began dropping hints nonstop.

'What's going on??!! Does this bastard know about my Gallery? Or he is talking about something else?!'

Mr. Goati's mind was in an utter mess from just a few hints. He gulped audibly and played with his goatee nervously. Yet, he didn't say a word in response, he knew that his voice would crack if he spoke when he was this nervous. His customer could easily then infers that he hit the bullseye with his low key threats.

So, it was better to remain as quiet as possible until everything clears out. After all, he didn't know if Felix was only fishing or he truly had evidence of his hidden secret.

Felix smirked slightly at this sight, as he knew exactly what this creepy Goati was thinking about. 'Afraid of your cracked voice giving you away? Heh, you won't be worrying about that soon.'

Embarrassed, Felix rubbed his head and said with a soft voice that only the two of them could hear within the crowded shop.

"Mr. Goati, I came to buy your entire Tier 5 serpent poison bloodline stock. And especially..." He put his arm around the terrified Mr. Goati's shoulder, then whispered softy his reason for building up his blackmailing, "I heard in 7 days there will a private auction happening in the capital city. I always wanted to attend one to broaden my horizons." He sighed, "Sadly, my reputation does not earn me an invitation."

"But my brother Mr. Goati can give a recommendation letter, right? It's not really hard for you to obtain it, based on the large network you built by relying on selling your gallery to powerful personals." Felix said, smiling warmly.

Mr. Goati, who was on the fence whether Felix was fishing or not, now truly knew that he was f*cked big time.

For an unknown person to know his deepest secret that he used tens of safeties to keep it sealed shut, sent cold chills coursing in his back.

'How much does he knows?! It's impossible to find any concrete proof of my connection with the gallery. So he must be hoping that I would get scared and fulfill his requests without too many questions.'

Mr. Goati calmed himself down and removed Felix's arm from his shoulder. Then, he stared at Felix's eyes deeply and instructed him to follow him to a private room away from the ears of the shoppers.

'If you don't have solid evidence backing you up, then you provoked the wrong guy.' Mr. Goati unlocked a small room at the side and closed the door after Felix entered.
