Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234
No wonder it has been so quiet despite me detonating a giant bomb-like silver milk powder. The city should be buzzing about the silver milk powder and its capabilities, but I did not hear about silver milk powder anywhere. And those old fogies from the Bright family and the Whiteburn family, they did not call me currying favors and trying to get recommendations to become distributors of silver milk powder in Sky blossom and nearby cities. Especially the shameless Jaya and her sister Diana Keith of Fine Gold.
Forget them. They are acquaintances at best, but what about Elliott? That bastard, why did he not warn me about what was going on in the outside world. Come to think of it. I could not come in contact with him after the tournament ended. Where did he go?
"Answer me, Anna. What is going on? Clearly, by doing this, the Heatsend family doesn't stand to gain anything but lose a great opportunity to publicize the silver milk powder. What is your mother up to?" This period was an excellent opportunity to create hype about silver milk powder among the general populous.
Yet Anna's mother was risking it all for her hidden agenda. This disfame will become a considerable obstacle when the Silver milk powder hits the market. But considering the miraculous ability of the silver milk powder, it will redeem its name and fame in no time.
"No, my mother is not behind this. For that matter, nobody is behind this matter. My Mother's only fault is that she stopped the marketing team from nipping off the malicious rumors at the bud." Anna's words were confusing me. She was hiding something from me.
"Anna, speak clearly. If your mother is not to be blamed and no third party is involved, then where did these malicious rumors come from? There has to be somebody spreading these rumors for people to doubt the patent granted by the southern region patent and trademark commission office." The genuity of Silver milk powder was the patent granted under my name by the southern region patent and trademark commission office. Which meant they had cross-verified that there was no trickery involved in this product and its original.
If the people doubted the silver milk powder despite the patent, then it could only mean one thing that rumors weren't groundless. Somebody must have produced a genuine concern for half of the world to doubt the patent granted by the southern region patent and trademark commission office.
"Well, you see, when a patent is granted, it usually takes a year or so to check the originality of the content. But this process was skipped because of my guarantee… now that has been raised as a concern by some people?" What Anna was basically saying was that her using her authority to intervene in the screening process of granting a patent to silver milk powder has now come back to bite us.
"Are you telling me that someone is claiming that I did not discover the silver milk powder?" I exclaimed, thinking that someone claimed that silver milk powder was not my original discovery.
Stealing a man's discovery is the worst thing one can do to him. After all the precautions I took, I still can't escape this. I was not worried that someone would steal my contribution but the loyalty of the Heatsend royal family. As other than me, only the Heatsead family knew the complete process and ingredients needed to produce silver milk powder.
Yeah, if the Heatsend Royal family doesn't betray me, I can withstand any accusations against me and my discoveries. Come to think of it; this would explain why Anna's mother did not nip the rumor at their bud.
"No, that's not the case. Nobody's accusing you of not being the original discoverer of silver milk powder. They are just accusing you of being a fraud. And before you cook up various conspiracies in your head just listen to what I have to say patiently." Anna knew she could not hold back anymore if she did. Instead of protecting me from whatever she thought she was, she would end up creating cracks in our relationship.
"Ok, I will. I have no other choice." Damn right, I had no other choice but to listen to whatever explanation she planned to give because I had no additional power or authority to do otherwise.
"Good, remember how you mentioned silver milk water as the key ingredients for the creation of the silver milk powder. That ingredient is something nobody has ever heard of. When the patent and trademark office officially published your findings and recipe for the production of silver milk powder in many reputable privileged journals. Renowned researchers started to conduct experiments to see if your conclusions were genuine. But they could not find the critical ingredient mentioned by you in the recipe, silver milk water.
Unable to find the silver milk water to conduct their experiments, all the researchers came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as silver milk powder. And filed a complaint against you, charging you with fraud. Not just you, they also charged me with misuse of authority for meddling with the patent and trademark commission office's screening process. So you are not the only one being rolled in the mud here, okay.
When the complaints were filed, my mother could have distributed a little bit of silver milk water to the researchers to calm their anger and solve everything in one go. Still, instead of doing so, she put the patent granted to your silver milk powder under review. She suspended me from my duties until the investigation of the genuity of the silver milk powder reached completion." Anna narrated everything she knew but forgot to mention that her suspension from her duties was only for show. She did not want this information to cause some unnecessary misunderstanding.
