    "Damn it! He got me!" Chairman Deacon mmed the table with his fist with gritted teeth.


    An outrage had erupted in the Shionel Dungeon with many Martial Squires suddenly reporting that esoteric mineral and organic ore deposits and extracts from the twelfth floor of the Shionel Dungeon had begun disappearing inrge droves without any evident cause for their disappearance.


    They were clearly dug and extracted, however, for some reason, this had happened despite the taipans, of the area over which they had been extracted, still being alive. It was as though the ghost had walked in and harvested all the esoteric ores and simply disappeared.


    That wasn''t all.


    The yield that was predicted for the day from all of the Martial Squires was far less than the norm. The Shionel Adventurer Guild published the daily amount of esoteric ores harvested and mined from the Shionel Dungeon. Since it was still early into the exploration of the twelfth floor, the industry experts had predicted a great increase in the supply of esoteric ore deposits, yet the opposite had happened, due to this strange phenomenon. The Martial Squires reported a stark absence of the presence of the esoteric ore deposits on the twelfth at an increasing rate as the day passed. As though someone was magically sucking them up without anybody else noticing.


    However, what followed was even more surprising, a brand-new supplierpany that nobody had ever heard about called Esosale Suppliers came out of nowhere and suddenly began selling quantities of esoteric resources to manyrge-scale manufacturers in the consumer market.


    What was even more puzzling was that thepany appeared to be in a heavy partnership with Bradt Distribution Services. The Bradt Distribution Services thoroughly and wholly liaised as a representative for any third party that wished to purchase supplies of esoteric resources from Esosale Suppliers.


    The only way to contact Esosale Suppliers was through the Bradt Distribution Services. Many purchasers scoured the nation looking for some sort of main branch or even a small office for Esosale Suppliers, yet not a single person could find any trace of thispany. Thispany did not have any presence in the economy in the form of employees, contracts and partnerships, a face for thepany, any sort of establishment, or any interaction with any of the sectors and industries that an esoteric resource supplierpany would inevitably get involved with. There was nothing out there in the nation for anybody interested in thepany to tangibly interact with. Nothing.


    In other words, it was what wasmonly referred to as a shellpany, apany that only existed in name, registered in the ownership of an anonymous merchant whose identity was unknown thanks to the policy amendment that the Guildmaster Bradt had passed with nothing else to it asides from a bank ount, also anonymously registered.


    This was a strange but ultimately inscrutable oddity to the market, and consumers quickly flocked to the Bradt Distribution Services to purchase substantial quantities of esoteric resource deposits from Esosale Suppliers, and the small imbnce that was caused between momentaryck of supply was stabilized.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    People could not help but venture to wonder where this ghost of apany was getting arge sum of money from. After all, it was an inescapable fact that arge number of Martial Squires were required to harvest esoteric resource deposits from the Shionel Dungeon. Where were these Martial Squiresing from? It would be impossible to hide dozens of Martial Squires working for apany since every Martial Squire that entered the Shionel Dungeon was registered to the Shionel Adventurer Guild, and it was possible to track the general affiliations and patrons of the various Martial Squires attempting to clear out the Shionel Adventurer Guild.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Not a single Martial Squire registered with the Shionel Adventurer Guild was verifiably associated with Esosale Suppliers. Furthermore, there was no way they could enter the Shionel Dungeon without being registered to the Adventurer Guild anyways. So where exactly was thepany getting such arge supply of esoteric resource deposits?


    Furthermore, the timing of this was suspicious to many people who possessed greater information and insight. It seemed quite clear that it was highly likely that there was some connection between Esosale Suppliers and the missing esoteric ore deposits in the Shionel Dungeon on the twelfth floor.


    "It''s that bastard," Chairman Deacon''s expression crumpled with anger. "It has to be him."


    Chairman Deacon was not ipetent, the fact that Esosale waspletely represented and even managed by the Bradt Distribution Services was a clear indication to him that Esosale Suppliers was an empty shell meant to draw attention away from Guildmaster Bradt. He was rtively certain that Guildmaster Bradt was the one who created Esosale Suppliers anonymously, and he was the one pretending it was another third party.


    "That may have been why he passed that policy in the first ce. No, it must be rted at the very least," He murmured with a grim expression.


    The only question was what the precise reason that he needed to hide the registered owner of thepany was. Guildmaster Bradt had gone as far as to use his limited and precious decision vote to do so.


    He could have just straightforwardly created a public esoteric supplies division in hispany, or started a newpany without having to rely on such deception. In fact, it would probably bring him even more prestige which yields him more political capital. Yet he went out of his way to change policies to allow the creation and registration of apany to be anonymous, specifically, the Esosale Supplier Company.


    "The reason he didn''t do that… is because he couldn''t? But if this was his idea, and he created the n and is also managing it then no one could stop him," He frowned, before his eyes widened. "Unless it wasn''t his n or his achievement in the first ce…"


    He felt as though he hade close to hitting the truth of the matter.
