Bee Harvesting LV. 2

Luck: LV 10 (MAX)

I looked at my status for the 4th time today. 'Ugh, for the hell he puts us through the results don't show. But at least it's going up.'

My mother and aunt Cynthia were surprised when they saw that I awake without the baptism and were about to celebrate by opening another bottle of honey, but they didn't find any since I hid them all. 'hahaha the sulle look they gave me was hilarious!'

Ending that thought I awkwardly walk with my employees towards the Bee Farm since today is the day we find out the results. I'm walking awkwardly because I'm sore from working out before coming here.

We get to the farm, "Alright guys today is the make or break day of the company. Of we get at least one queen that means we were successful and will continue doing what we did and in about a year we could have as much as 200 hives producing honey for us. The secret to making our business a success is the production of queens to expand our hives. Are you ready?" I look at them?

Marcus, who is sober today, "You sure need to lighten up boss! Stop scaring us, we have been through war, so stop worrying about little stuff and let's get working!" The others share his opinion.

"Okay each one bring a queen producing box near a Bee Farm box that doesn't have a queen. We will open it up and see if there's a queen. If there is then we will move the combs inside the Farm Box and give them 3 weeks to grow, reproduce, and grow honey before we repeat the process and start collecting honey. Let's go" They start doing their jobs, but I'm really nervous, 'normally there is a 25% chance this process is successful. Let's hope luck is on my side!'

They are ready and are waiting on my mark, "Okay Alex go first."

Alex nods and starts uncovering the box for what feels like an eternity. His movements feel so slow I want to shove him aside and look myself, but I'm too nervous for that. He starts looking inside and at the end he shakes his head, "Some are alive, but no queen was made most are dead."

I sigh, "Cover it up and get rid of the dead and live bee's. We never know if they are caring anything. You two uncover yours." when I heard that the bees died I had little to no hope for success. 'I think I took too long'

I was thinking of ways to improve the situation when-

"I have a queen!" I turn to Jin who's smiling widely. I go to him and sure enough there's a queen. I see she's a Virgin Queen since there's no larvae and it doesn't look like she reproduced. There are drone bees in there so why didn't she reproduce? "Okay Jin put it inside the box caref-"

"Boss! We have another one!" I ran to max who announced the creation of another queen. I see the new queen as well and couldn't help to be happy.

"Yes! Guys you see! We'll have another two nest! We are back in business! Love the queens with everything inside the box and collect honey from the other two hives! We need to sell honey to afford new Farm Boxes to expand."

The other guys weren't as happy as me, but I can see it! This honey equals money in my eyes! '66% is not bad'

We were about to end our day of work when the town horns were blown, signifying that either we are about to be invaded or that the men are back from war with the other two nations.

I look at my employees, "We will finish the bottle your working on and see what the horns were about." they nod and complete the bottles.

We head over to the town gates were I can hear screams of joy and sadness. 'Some didn't make it back from war.' I spot my grandfather who's talking to my father. I sigh in relief since I wouldn't have wanted to see my mom sad, but I didn't charge in to say welcome back since it seems they are having a serious conversation.

I observe the father son pair and couldn't help, but wonder how I would look. I have my grandfather's fair skin, but my face is similar to my father's without the scars.

From the corner of my eyes I see mom and Cynthia charge at my father and hug him. Rose is walking towards them, but hides behind my grandpa when dad wants to hug her, 'can't blame her since she doesn't recognize the man.'

He wasn't able to get Rose to hug her, but she permitted him to pat her head. He had a sad face, but he'll get over it. In about a year Rose will open up to the guy.

My mom spots me and gives me a sign to approach them, so I do. When I get to them my mom bends In front of me and whispers, "He's your father Ezekiel. He has been fighting for us in a war and has finally come home. Why don't you introduce yourself, please?" What do i say? 'Sup? Yo? How's it been?'

I shrug my shoulders and walk over to him, "Yo! I'm Azrael and it's a pleasure to meet you, Father!"

He looks at me and smiles, followed by him patting my head, "My pleasure! Your mom has told me a lot about you in the letters. She says you started up your own company and that your very mature and sly for your age. Pretty much a combination of your mom and I."

I give him a smile, "Like father like son right?"

"HAHAHAHA, true! See father I told you he was more like me!" my father told my grandfather who just snorted and said, "You guys catch up, I have important news to tell everyone."

We continue talking until my grandfather speaks, "Attentions!" he pauses and waits for everyone's eyes to be one him. He then continues, "I'm glad to see everyone that made it back unharmed. I interrupted you guys to give out good news!... The Empire of Avlon underwent a coup and the emperor was slain. The new emperor called his troops back and has started to talk about peace with our Empire. It doesn't mean much, but the action has caused the Demons from Cocytus to retreat back to their Empire. We are currently at a cease fire!"

Everyone cheered at the news of a cease fire since that meant no deaths. I was happy that father will be able to stay here longer, but what I'm more happy about is those peace talks since those lead to open trade. Open trade means more people to sell honey to and more money. I'll start with honey for now and then add crops when I have enough XP for soil and seeds.

I look to the sky and clench my fist, 'I can see it now! The future is mine!'
