Agatha put forward her conditions. But she still did not to understand that she was not in control, or was it just her way of negotiating to try and hold on to whatever authority she had left regarding opening a monster meat processing plant with the multi-armed butcher cards at the crux.

"Nope, not happening." Hearing that Agatha was willing to give me majority shares in her business I thought she understood that without me her dream of opening a monster meat processing plan would not work but her conditions said otherwise.

Agatha offering me majority shares was tempting but her conditions made the deal sour. I give her the exclusive rights to use my cards but she wasn't willing to give me any decision-making power in the business. Even though I held the majority shares, the balls of the company would still in be Agatha's hands. I would have been willing to give Agatha full control of the reigns like I did in the matters of Silver milk powder with the southern royal family but Agatha was not strong enough, without Demigod Windsor backing her name wasn't worth much in the central region. She was a semi-demigod with a humble background, unless she becomes a demigod herself she will be always seen as a powerful tool by the top forces in the central region. What I am saying was Agatha's face wasn't big enough for her to demand exclusive rights to use my cards and not give me any decision making power in the company.

"What is it that is not to your liking?" Agatha asked. She wasn't surprised that the opposite party rejected her generous offer. After all, this was a negotiation, each party present here was trying to fight for maximum benefits.

"Everything. But before I put forward my terms let me make it clear my cards my rules. Take it or leave it." I no longer planned to have Agatha lead the monster meat processing business. She has zero experience in this field and seems to be under the false impression that the world market gives a damn about her being a semi-demigod. With such an attitude, she and the business led by her will only become the juicy piece of meat for the wolves of the market. Therefore I came up with a different business model for the monster meat processing business, the franchisee business model. I made this change seeing the reaction of Asong and Cole to Agatha's business venture. It is their interest in Agatha's business venture that made me realize that there were many people with money and power looking forward to investing in any new promising idea despite the risks.

"I am listening," hearing the young card creationist's words Agatha realized that her idea to open a monster meat processing plant with the multi-armed butcher card was not going to happen but still she choose to listen to the young card creationists terms because she felt no harm in investing if the terms were reasonable and could bring in her enough profits as her current funds were eating dust and were only adding to her hefty income tax. If nothing else by investing in this new business model she planned to claim huge tax returns.

"Good, I have sent a demo contract specifying my business model and stating my terms to each one of you. If you are interested please contact me for further discussions." I sent monster meat processing plant franchise contracts to Asong, Cole, and Agatha. As for the twins, I don't think the southern royal family will be interested in running franchises, and neither did I dare to have the audacity to grant them franchises permit.

Terms in the contract I forwarded to Agatha and the rest were as follows,

1. The profits made by the franchise will be split in 60:40 split. 60 percent will be given to the parent company and 40 will be taken by the franchise group.

2. The parent company provides and maintains the multi-armed butcher cards needed to start and run the business. These cards belong to the parent company so they will collect the cards back in case the said franchise group wasn't able to meet the minimum profits for half a year term.

3. franchise group will get a limited exclusive right of the multi-armed butcher cards for a certain area. Within the specified range around the franchise group except for the said franchise group no other party will be allowed to use multi-armed butcher cards to maintain the stability of the coustomer traffic.

4. The franchise group will spearhead the business but the parent company will conduct a mandatory inspection of the business every half-year. If the franchise group was unable to meet the company standards during the half-yearly mandatory inspection the license of the said franchise group will be terminated.

5. After every half-year mandatory inspection, some changes if necessary will be recommended by the parent company to the franchise group. The franchise group doesn't need to implement those changes but if they do implement the recommended changes the franchise group will be compensated by the parent company for the implemented changes.

6. There are other small prohibitions that franchise groups will have to follow. Such as the Business name, model, brand, etc.

In the end, the demo contract had the basic run-in-the-mill franchise and company relation and obligation terms.

Aside from this it also contained information on multi-armed butcher cards and the business model I planned for the monster meat processing company. The contract even contained a video clip of Ronnie using his 10,000 armed butcher card that I had the Hive AI extract from my memories. This will make it easy for Asong and Cole to understand the possibilities of the multi-armed butcher cards in the field of the monster meat processing industry. With this, any doubt they had about the business venture Agatha was pursuing will be answered with the video demonstration.
