Although Thorneville was just a small village nestled in the mountains, it reaped substantial profits from cultivating Night Vine. The annual earnings were impressive to the degree that it was almost terrifying.
As the business and profits grew, the village no longer had the absolute say in the distribution of their earnings.
Various powerful forces had intervened in the business.
Despite being the village chief, Delmont was merely a figurehead with limited authority.
There were numerous vested interests in Thorneville that he couldn't touch without facing dire consequences.
Still, he was the village chieftain. Many people within the village listened to his orders.
Soon, the news of his allegiance to Matthew spread around, attracting the attention of village elders and spies from other factions.
As the news reverberated throughout the village, it eventually reached the ears of influential figures from the other factions after their spies reported back to them. Many of them were incensed by the audacity of someone encroaching on their profits.
One could never stay calm after learning that a stranger demanded a share of their profits.
However, their anger subsided when they learned that the culprit was none other than Matthew. After all, they knew who Matthew was.
Not only was he the Holy Doctor, but he was also the president of the Martial League and the Commercial Union. Recently, he also got rid of General Weaver. His capability was fathomless.
In summary, they were no match for him.
Having the audacity to cross him was one thing, but the prospect of antagonizing such a formidable figure for trivial gains seemed unwise to many.
Most individuals soon abandoned the idea of seeking retribution against him, but one person remained deeply troubled. It was none other than Isambard. He had amassed a fortune through dealings involving Night Vine. He even invested a lot of money in Thorneville.
Little did Delmont know, Isambard had bought seven tons of Night Vine from Thornville. They weren't ordinary Night Vine. They had been air-dried and compacted.
