Building A Business Empire From Scratch In Another World

Trinity gazed out at the excited crowd, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You all know that our Morningstar Adventurer Team has some incredible support behind us,".

She began, her voice steady. "All our equipment and cultivation resources come from this benefactor, and I'm sure many of you are already familiar with the power backing us."

She paused for effect, letting anticipation build in the air. "As you might have guessed from our team name, yes! Our Adventurer Team is proudly supported by none other than the Morningstar Restaurant, the top dining establishment in Brigdemoor City!"

A wave of surprise washed over the audience; some had already suspected this connection.

It wasn't unusual for restaurants to back adventurer teams, after all, many noble families and influential figures in the city had one or two teams under their command.

"And the manager of the Morningstar Restaurant is Brixton and I big brother" Trinity continued enthusiastically. "Today, he's here to share some exciting opportunities with all of you, opportunities that can help you grow stronger and more powerful than ever before!"

The members fell silent, absorbing Trinity's words as they contemplated their potential futures.

Suddenly, the grand doors of the hall creaked open with a rumble, pulling everyone from their thoughts.

All eyes turned toward the entrance to see a young man around twenty years old stepping inside.

He wore an elegant white suit that shimmered subtly under the hall's lights, his silver-white hair catching everyone's attention as he walked gracefully down the center aisle with a long white-and-gold cane in hand.

The Morningstar Adventurer Team stared at him in awe until Trinity broke the silence. "Everyone, meet my big brother Felix! He's not just the manager of the Morningstar Restaurant but also our team's biggest supporter!" She beamed as she introduced him.

Felix paused beside Trinity and smiled warmly at her before addressing the seven hundred eager faces before him. "Hello everyone! As Trinity mentioned, I'm Felix, manager of the Morningstar Restaurant and proud supporter of your Adventurer Team." His gentle demeanor instantly put them at ease.

"I won't take up too much of your time," Felix said with a quick glance around. "I gathered all of you here today because I want each one of you to become true members of the Morningstar Adventurer Team."

Confusion rippled through the crowd; puzzled expressions replaced their initial excitement.

Suddenly, one brave soul raised his hand. Felix nodded toward him encouragingly.

"Um… Mr. Felix? I don't quite understand what you mean," he said sheepishly as he scratched his head. "Aren't we already part of this team?" He sat back down as others nodded in agreement.

Felix smiled knowingly. "I see where you're coming from! What I mean is that I want all of you to become permanent members, to truly join what the Morningstar Family and become our exclusive Adventurer Team ".

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise as they turned to Felix.

"Hey, Mr. Felix, what exactly is the Morningstar Family?" someone piped up, curiosity written all over their face.

Felix flashed a warm smile and replied, "Great question! While some of you might know me as just the manager of the Morningstar Restaurant, let me introduce myself properly: I'm Felix Morningstar, and I'm actually the proud owner of the Morningstar Restaurant!"

"Huh!"The collective gasp echoed through the room as everyone turned to Felix, their eyes wide with disbelief.

In Brigdemoor City, the Morningstar Restaurant was legendary, renowned as the most stunning dining establishment in the entire city.

Everyone knew that its owner was a Tier 9 Forbidden Realm expert, and yet here stood Felix, merely the restaurant's manager.

They were utterly unprepared for the revelation that he was, in fact, the true owner of this culinary gem.

Trinity raised an eyebrow at Felix, her surprise palpable. "Big bro, aren't you worried this will get out?"

Felix chuckled lightly and shook his head. "Don't worry; I've already sealed off the entire building."

Trinity exhaled a sigh of relief and nodded. "I see."

"Some of you might be skeptical about what I just said," Felix continued with a casual shrug. "But believe me when I say it's all true! What I want from you is simple: become exclusive Adventurers for the Morningstar Family."

Now, being part of an exclusive Adventurer Team isn't something new; it's akin to having a private army that follows their leader's command without question.

Unlike regular Adventurers who enjoy more freedom,able to leave whenever they please,exclusive teams are bound by loyalty and duty.

In Avalonia Kingdom, maintaining a private army is illegal, but many noble families exploit a loophole and that is the Adventurers.

While technically not an army, these teams serve as powerful extensions of their will. The Royal Family knows this but remains powerless to act against it for fear of upsetting both nobles and the Adventurer Association.

Felix understood this dynamic perfectly and planned to leverage it for his own purposes,a little private army at his disposal.

"Rest assured," he said with a grin, "the treatment you'll receive here will far exceed anything other Adventurer Teams offer. You won't be disappointed!"

One brave soul stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Felix, can you tell us what benefits we'll receive if we join?"

"Of course!" Felix replied enthusiastically. "Tier 1 Beginner Knights will earn 5 million Gold Coins monthly; Tier 2 Intermediate Knights 10 million gold coins; Tier 3 Master Knights : 15 million gold coins,and so on! Plus, you'll gain access to invaluable cultivation resources: techniques, skills, potions, elixirs, you name it!"

A collective gasp filled the air as jaws dropped in astonishment.

"M-Mr. Felix,is this really true?" one stammered.

"Absolutely!" Felix laughed heartily. "And each of you will also receive one Low Grade Mana Crystal every month."

"What?!" Shock rippled through the group like wildfire as they processed this incredible offer.

"Mr. Felix," Dilya suddenly spoke up from among them, her voice steady despite her shock. "I'm willing to join the Morning Family".

Felix flashed a grin and nodded at her.

"Me too! I'm in!" Someone declared enthusiastically.

"Count me in!" Another one also shouted.

Suddenly, it seemed everyone had made up their minds to join. With the enticing benefits laid out before them, how could they resist?

The promise of Gold Coins pouring in every month was enough to stir excitement, not to mention the allure of Mana Crystals!

Who wouldn't want such heavenly rewards? Anyone who chose not to join would be truly foolish.

Felix exchanged a knowing glance with Trinity. She immediately understood his cue, and with a graceful wave of her hand, a stack of Blood Oath Contracts materialized in her grasp.

"Dilya, come here!" Trinity called out.

Dilya appeared instantly at her side.

"Here! Take these and distribute them," Trinity instructed, handing over the contracts. "Let everyone read through them carefully; if they're ready to commit, they can sign."

"Yes, Captain!" Dilya replied eagerly as she began passing out the contracts to each eager participant.

Turning back to Felix, Trinity whispered thoughtfully, "Big bro, don't you think the benefits you're offering are a bit excessive?"

Felix nodded slowly. "While they might seem generous, ten times or even a thousand times better than what others get, it comes with its own weight."

A steely glint appeared in his eyes. "These perks aren't just gifts; they come with expectations. If they're receiving this much from me, then they'd better be prepared to put in ten thousand times the effort,and risk their lives for it. After all," he added with a cold smirk, "nobody eats my food for free!"

Trinity observed Felix and the crowd buzzing around the Blood Oath Contracts and shook her head with an amused smile.

Felix surveyed the Morningstar Adventurer Team with an air of calm confidence. Sure, he was now absurdly wealthy, richer than some small kingdoms, but that didn't mean he'd lost his wits along with his riches.

After all, as he had mentioned before, nobody feasts for free at his table.

With the generous benefits he offered, it was only fair that they put in the work and face the risks that came with it.

After all opportunities are accompanied by dangers and since they have decided to take this opportunity then they must face the dangers that comes with it.

"Did you change something about the Blood Oath Contracts this time?" Trinity suddenly piped up.

Felix smirked, "You could say that. But wait, where did you hear that?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Nixie spilled the beans about what you did with the previous contracts when you were hiring managers," Trinity shrugged nonchalantly.

"That little girl has quite a big mouth! Can't she keep a secret?" Felix's lips twitched in amusement.

He turned to see the Adventurer members eagerly reading and signing their contracts, excitement lighting up their faces.

"With all these incredible benefits I'm providing, I had to find a way to bind them to me completely," Felix chuckled. "Otherwise, I'd be operating at a loss if they decided to bail after enjoying everything I've given them."

"You're really acting like a devil; it's almost as if you're buying their souls!" Trinity teased.

Felix laughed softly and replied, "Hehehe! You're not wrong there; after all, my surname is Morningstar."

About half an hour later, every member of the Adventurer Team had signed their contracts. Felix took them from Dilya's hands and tucked them away in his storage ring.

With a slightly eerie smile, he looked at everyone gathered around him. "Welcome to the Devil...Ahemm I mean the Morningstar Family! You won't regret your decision today."
