Although former captain Zanis did many stupid things, the one good thing this person did was probably selling defective Divine Wine outside.
People who drank original Divine Wine were very few.
As long as they raised the banner of "original Divine Wine," people who drank defective products would flock over.
If the defective taste was already that good, if they drank original Divine Wine, wouldn't that be taking off?
The Soma Familia's future development strategy must change. Selling wine in auction form, pushing Divine Wine toward refinement and high-end, not earning poor people's money.
Whoever has money, earn theirs!
Divine Wine's taste was also too overbearing. Ordinary people and low-level adventurers drinking it was no different from taking drugs. Better to harm those Gods instead.
At Roy's command, the Soma Familia's remaining three hundred plus people ran out to crazily promote, holding signs in streets and alleys, distributing flyers.
The Soma Familia incident was already the top trending topic these past few days. Suddenly having such a matter appear, without accident, it rapidly spread throughout all of Orario.
The Soma Familia was about to hold a Divine Wine auction?
Gods, adventurers, and citizens discussed this matter one after another. Speaking of Divine Wine, everyone was furious to death—their own drinking was actually defective products.
Although the promotion was for original Divine Wine, who knew what these Soma Familia bastards were scheming again?
A God sneered coldly, "Want to scam my money again? Whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going!"
"Since you're not going, then I'm not going either!"
"Me too!"
"Whoever goes is a dog!"
A group of Gods quickly reached consensus, resolutely boycotting the Divine Wine auction, not bowing to black-hearted merchants!
Several hours later, at the Soma Familia's entrance, Gods who had gone their separate ways met again. Awkward smiles appeared on the Gods' faces.
"Brother, when did you become a dog?"
"What's wrong with being a dog? Woof woof woof!"
The Gods' skin was as thick as top-grade shields forged by the Goibniu Familia.
Speaking, the Gods tacitly no longer mentioned that matter. All brothers, shoulders on shoulders, smiling as they entered the Soma Familia's territory.
Just as Roy predicted, people who tasted defective products couldn't possibly not be curious about original Divine Wine's taste. Gods, adventurers, and major merchant guilds ran over like cavalry charging, participating in the auction.
Of course, not just anyone could enter.
Gods need not be mentioned—whoever came counted. As for other adventurers, they had to produce proof of assets of at least one million valis to participate.
Roy stood at the entrance welcoming the Gods.
As the Soma Familia's face, Roy changed into an expensive black formal suit, slim and figure-flattering. His handsome face wore a spring breeze-like smile, causing countless girls and Goddesses to frequently glance over.
When learning Roy was hired as the Soma Familia's vice-captain, shock appeared on the Gods' faces.
So there was this kind of play?!
That boy Soma looked thick-browed and big-eyed, but turned out to be not honest at all, getting there first.
The Gods' ghostly clever eyes turned, not knowing what they were thinking, but definitely full of bad ideas.
A handsome-looking God leaned to Roy's side, smiling, "Little brother Roy, actually I'm also short a vice-captain here. Any interest in part-timing? Monthly salary of five hundred thousand valis for you!"
"Little brother Roy, my vice-captain position is also reserved for you. Monthly salary eight hundred thousand valis!"
"Sincerely recruiting vice-captain, specifically naming Roy!"
The Gods surrounded Roy, issuing countless invitations.
Surrounding other adventurers were all stunned. They normally had to make offerings to the main god. How come with Roy, the situation was completely opposite—he even got a salary?
This huge treatment gap made people collapse.
Facing invitations that countless people envied to the point of red eyes, the corner of Roy's mouth twitched. You think I'm easy to fool?
Unlike Soma, these Gods practically wrote "ill intentions" on their faces. Easy to enter, hard to exit!
Roy politely declined the Gods' malicious invitations, "My Lords, we have prepared Divine Wine tasting samples. We hope you will sample them."
Soma Familia members walked out one after another, holding trays with cups of original Divine Wine. The dense aroma emanating made people unable to stop.
This rich wine fragrance wasn't in the same dimension as the defective products they drank before!
Even without drinking, everyone was one hundred percent certain this was original Divine Wine!
The Gods' and adventurers' eyes turned red, nearly fighting because of it. It was Roy who reminded them that excessive drinking of Divine Wine would cause intoxication, unable to participate in the following auction. Only then did everyone restrain their desires.
Can't lose the big for the small!
Except for a certain red-haired drunkard Goddess.
Loki drank cup after cup of Divine Wine, still shouting loudly, "Ais carbon, Mama-san, quickly help me collect the Divine Wine!"
Actually wanting to pack up the tasting Divine Wine to take home.
Riveria really wanted to pretend not to know this disgraceful main god. The naturally airheaded Ais still wanted to execute Loki's instructions, but was held down by Riveria.
Riveria wore a white gorgeous dress, like an elegant city beauty, revealing her graceful neck line and clearly visible collarbone. Her skin was fair and white, a delicate belt binding her slender waist that could be encircled with one grip. Her beautiful and noble appearance suppressed all other Goddesses.
Every movement exuded the elegance of royal elves. Countless male Gods and adventurers were stunned. But every time someone wanted to approach Riveria and Ais, they would be driven back by the ghost-like Loki beside them.
Perhaps only Freya with extreme beauty could possibly overshadow Riveria's limelight.
"Very suitable for you." Riveria wore a smile, coming to Roy's side, like a kind elder, tidying his clothes messed up by the Gods.
"Thank you." Roy softly thanked.
Everyone present watched with dumbfounded mouths. This fellow Sprout of Justice also had a relationship with the Nine Hell?
Especially the Gods were going crazy. Next time they had to give Roy titles like "Orario Women Killer," "One Billion Elf Girls' Dream."
Loki shed blood and tears, shouting "I don't agree to this marriage," pulling Riveria and Ais into the venue, far away from Roy this women killer.
Roy was opening an auction, so his own people naturally had to support. Goddess Astraea appeared at the entrance with Ryuu, Daphne, and Cassandra.
Regarding Roy becoming the Soma Familia's vice-captain, Goddess Astraea had no objections, instead encouraging Roy not to have burdens.
Miss Ryuu looked at him with a numb gaze.
Daphne and Cassandra's eyes were worshipful. Becoming another Familia's vice-captain as an outsider—previously, this was something unthinkable.
In fact, the Soma Familia had already become the Astraea Familia's subsidiary Familia.
At least in everyone's eyes this was so.
Soma also had no objections. After a series of events, his trust in Roy reached the peak. He only wanted to brew wine. Since his own people couldn't do it well, letting an outsider do it—so what?
