Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 45: When A Wall Falls, Everyone Will Give It A Push

"Are you alright?"

Sheila looked at Reiner and Claire, no one thought that Piram would do this.

"Uh, I'm fine."

Reiner looked at his body, all the acid was blocked by the invisible barrier, and no drop was scattered in the circle. He looked at Claire again, the professor was a little pale, but she could still stand still.

"Claire, are you all right?"

He hurriedly held Claire, the other's body temperature was a little low, and she looked extremely haggard.

"I'm okay, I'm just exhausted from magic power."

Claire did not refuse Reiner's support, she was indeed a little weak at this moment, so she did not mind too much about Reiner holding her.

"If I'm not mistaken, that was the three-ring magic, Isaris's Wailing Wall?"

Leslie said to Claire while arresting Piram with handcuffs that had the anti-magic ability.

Nodding slightly, Claire looked at the silver pendant in her hand. It was a silver bird standing on the thorns. She thought for a while before saying.

"It's the effect of this magic item, which allows me to use this spell."

After a magic spell was engraved into an item in the form of a magic circle, it could be directly released without preparation, and it could even be used to cast cross-level magic at the cost of the exhaustion of the magic energy, but this behavior was very burdensome on the body. The occurrence of magic backlash was already the lightest side-effect.

Reiner naturally knew this knowledge too. He looked at Claire with gratitude, but after the professor noticed Reiner's gaze, she hurriedly looked away.

"Don't, don't get the wrong idea, I didn't do this to save you specifically."

Hearing Claire's excuse, Reiner did not speak, but only smiled.

"A magic item with third-ring magic is very expensive. Last time I was fortunate enough to see a long sword with the third-ring spell 'Pluto's Explosion Art' at the auction. It was sold for 200 gold coins."

Leslie recalled, seemingly curious about the source of Claire's pendant.

"This was given to me as compensation by a nobleman who had bullied me when I was young. In terms of his name, I don't remember it anymore."

Claire put away the pendant, obviously unwilling to bring up these things.

"By the way, this guy is really audacious."

Sheila kicked Piram who had fainted and said.

"Assaulting Officers, intending to murder, stealing magic spells, planning a bombing attack, the evidence for all those crimes is conclusive. Although there has not yet been a formal trial, I think he has to spend the rest of his life in exile."

Compared with attacking Officers, the theft of magic was much more serious. No wonder that Piram would resist.

"I have a question, Officer Leslie, what will happen to Piram's Alchemy Workshop?"

Reiner looked around. Due to the commotion just now, most of the workers and alchemy apprentices did not dare to act rashly and shivered in the corner.

"According to the law, the person who steals magic should pay a large amount of compensation to the original owner. According to the current scale, I think the Piram Alchemy Workshop may become your property in the future, Mr. Ian Gray."

Leslie smiled, seemingly gloating.

Hearing this, Antoine was shocked. He had always thought that Reiner's measures were nothing more than normal commercial competition, and the purpose was only to fight Piram, but now it seemed that he was aiming at Piram's Alchemy workshop from the beginning. Now that Piram was arrested, and his property belonged to Reiner, it could be said that he made a fortune in an instant.

Thinking of this, Antoine looked at the young man with admiration in his eyes.

Of course, Reiner didn't know what he was thinking, he just wanted to defeat Piram in the competition, but he didn't expect that he would be able to get his asset as well.

"Ahem, if that's the case, then it's a good result."

He pretended to be calm, but he was actually overjoyed in his heart.

This was the Piram Alchemy Workshop. Not only did it have a wide range of business, but it also had a sales network covering several large cities in the surrounding area.

Leslie and Sheila immediately escorted Piram to prison, while Reiner and others finished the statement, and only left after Claire recovered. They met some visitors as soon as they left.

It was a few men in long robes. They waited anxiously outside and smiled immediately when they saw Reiner.

"Mr. Ian Gray, we are the owners of several alchemy workshops that were previously annexed by Piram's alchemy workshop. The news about Piram's matter has been spread out. The unequal agreement he forced us to make will also be invalidated. According to the law, If we can spend enough money, we can buy back our alchemy workshops."

A man said anxiously. His hairs on both sides of his ears were white, it seemed that he had the highest status among these people.

"Er, so you want to find me to buy back your alchemy workshops?"

This was a bit troublesome. Reiner thought that although these Alchemy Workshops could bring a large amount of cash flow, the Piram Alchemy Workshops industry would also suffer a lot. If possible, Reiner still hoped to re-sign a cooperation agreement with them.

"No, Mr. Ian Gray, what we are thinking about is whether we can become a partner of the Luna Nova Magical Academy like Antoine Alchemy Workshop and also produce Cola. You see, Cola has gradually become popular in the southern part of the kingdom. One or two alchemy workshops alone are far from meeting market demand."

The man shook his head, then said.

It seemed that they were also envious of the profit of Cola, wanting to be part of the production line.

This was exactly what Reiner wanted. He thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"How about this? First of all, those unequal agreements should naturally be abolished. On this basis, after you pay a certain fee, I will grant the production line and production authorization of Cola, and share the benefits of Cola from now on."

This could be regarded as the simplest franchise model for chain stores. Alchemy Workshops could reduce the technical cost required to produce Cola, and Reiner did not need to spend extra money to purchase production lines, which could be regarded as a win-win deal.

"This is great, Mr. Ian Gray."

The owners of the workshops originally thought that Reiner would take the opportunity to make an extremely unreasonable condition or rely on capital advantage to suppress other alchemy workshops like Piram did, but they did not expect that he chose such a clever method, so that both parties could benefit from it. In the past, they only heard that the Ian Gray family was extraordinary when it came to dealing with business matters, but after they saw it with their own eyes, they were completely convinced now.

"We can talk about the specific contract later, but now I have to leave first."

Reiner's eyes glanced to Claire who he was holding and said to the workshops' owners.

"Okay, okay, we will talk in detail another day."

The shop owners watched Reiner and the others get into the carriage, but the smiles on their faces did not dissipate for a long time.

At last, they were finally able to get their workshops back
