Talentless Son of a Mafia Family

The Empire

After 3 days, Anna had completed her drawings and showed it to Dante. Dante was satisfied of it and asked her to proceed to the making. While Dante was waiting for the finished products, Carpe Diem has opened a franchise in the capital city of The Empire, Nova City.

The Empire is ruled by the royal family and the majority of citizens there are mostly humans. Nova City is one of their cities and also the capital city. Eva Consortium which Dante was staying now was once a city under The Empire jurisdiction but had become independent after the revolution. (Remember the first page, where Dante's grandpa Carlo overthrown the previous governor?)

As expected of Carpe Diem fames, it was welcomed warmly and enthusiastically by The Empire citizens. The citizens are more than happy to be able to eat delicious foods. Carpe Diem franchise easily becomes a stronghold in the capital city of The Empire, Nova City. Nowadays, you can easily spot the nobles dining at the 9th floor of Carpe Diem franchise.

Dante didn't go to the capital city, he had sends Luca there after hearing his proposal of franchising Carpe Diem. He's not really interested in expanding Carpe Diem business. For him, Carpe Diem is but a dining place but he was happy that Luca has this idea and took the initiative to ask his opinions. Since he had let Luca fully in charge of the restaurant, he just let Luca to do what he wants. (Dante...you're just lazy.)

Kayden's mana core is slowly recovering with the help of healing potions. Dante had provided those potions him for free, saying that it was one of his employee's benefits. Kayden monthly salary is also not less, it's much more stable and better than when he was still working as a hunter. The siblings can also eat for free at Carpe Diem whenever they want.

After 2 months, Anna finally finished the handbags. There are only 5 handbags but all of it have their own beauty and elegance. Dante gave Anna an invitation card of a fashion week, it was an event lasting approximately one week, where fashion designers and companies display their latest collections to buyers.

It's the most prominent fashion event in this world and was held in the capital city of The Empire, Nova City. Dante had spent quite a sum on bribes to join this event and got 2 invitations in return. Anna would participate as the exclusive designer of Hermes while Dante would attend as the CEO of Paradise Enterprise.

On the day of fashion week. Dante and the siblings had long arrived to Nova City. Kayden went to find Luca at Carpe Diem franchise since he couldn't join it. The event hall was crowded with nobles and wealthy people. You can see most of them were all discussing about fashions. Dante brought Anna to the backstage for preparation, they had only bought a designer handbag with them and it was kept in a luxury box. They would only showcase one handbag in this event.

"When your product is scarce, it will be more valuable." This is what Dante had answered when Anna asked him. Instead of paying M.A. for advertisement, he thinks that this event is more suitable platform for Hermes that are still a new fashion design company. Dante also didn't want to simply expose the handbags ideas through advertisement.

At the end, fashion world is for those that can found a breakthrough in fashions. Dante believed that Hermes products especially these designer handbags would influence the current trends and upcoming seasons.
