Trigger Warning: Drug production and Drug use. Sorry I had to write these topics xD It felt like one of those inevitable things that’d appear sooner than later.

While the Voumi Town rescue mission was a resounding success. Surprisingly, other surprise missions all over were also happening, and this one might not have much to do with Alterra.
This was the nearest Town north of Alterra, and the main source of the drugs, called ’White Happiness’.
"This is amazing! Hahahha!!" Peaco, the Lord of Flaret Town, laughed out loud as he looked at the bags of White Happiness being piled up in front of him.
The sacks were stacked up in multiple rows, creating columns as tall as a person. Each bag, in his eyes, was equivalent to at least a hundred gold each!
Ka-ching, ka-ching!!
He turned to the man on his side with bright eyes. "This is more than I anticipated!!" Lord Peaco said, patting the man’s shoulder. "Good job, Felipe!"
The man—middle-aged, tall, and muscular, and he had a bit of body ink in his body—gave a small smile. Physically, he was a little intimidating, but at this time, he seemed quite at home with the Lord.
If Ansel were here, he’d recognize this man as the drug lord neighbor they had!
"It is mostly because of you, Milord, as well as your connections," the Terran humbly said with a smile. "Our White Happiness wouldn’t have reached so many territories so quickly."
Peaco nodded in approval, liking his attitude and his lack of arrogance. It showed Peaco that he, Felipe, would be useful for a long, long, time.
Indeed. If he hadn’t exhausted all his connections (which may or may not have involved some pandering—at least at first), then they would’ve been limited to their own town and their subsidiary villages.
Now, they had tapped into the market of the adjacent towns! For one, they were already being used by many nobles in Voumi Town! That place was relatively rich with a lot of subsidiaries! They could get thousands more addicted within the next few months.
At this time, there actually wasn’t enough market for their stock, but he believed it’d drain out very soon, and very quickly! The product was too good!!
He gulped, already looking forward to going home and getting his ’high’. He didn’t realize he looked a bit manic while he thought of it, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have cared.
Looking at him like this, Felipe smiled. "Milord, I actually have a new product. Would you like to try?"
Peaco brightened, rubbing his hands together.
They headed to the warehouse’s office area, which was Felipe’s design. The furniture and arrangement were actually superior to what the Center had, which was very telling.
Peaco quickly sat down at the table, waiting for his moneymaker to introduce the next new thing.
Felipe confidently took a small sack from his space. Unlike the White Happiness though, it was not in powder form.
"Liquid?" He mumbled, fascinated.
It was a light red colour, a rare, unnatural color that could only be seen in certain flowers. He couldn’t take his eyes away from it.
Besides, people from Towns were much better customers because they wouldn’t become insane.
