Chapter 131: Settling Indian Businesses

Eleanor placed her palm on her heart and bowed slightly with proper etiquette. Her voice carried dignity and poise as she said,

"To the sovereign of the Naga People, the mighty Vasuki Prabhas Nagavanshi, and to the Queen of the Nagas, Her Highness Pallavi Nagavanshi... please accept my utmost respect. Thank you for receiving me and offering your valuable time. It is truly a pleasure to meet you both."

King Prabhas offered a small smile, a glint of curiosity in his eyes.

"The pleasure is mine, Miss Raynor. I’ve heard quite a lot about your accomplishments in the United States. I must admit, I’m surprised to see you here, so far from your turf."

Eleanor responded with grace.

"Your Majesty flatters me. I am but a junior, trying to follow in the footsteps of accomplished seniors like yourself."

Queen Pallavi gave a soft nod and gestured toward a nearby marble table set with refreshments.

"Please, have a seat, Miss Raynor. You as well, Miss Harivamsa. Let us enjoy some tea and snacks while we speak."

All five of them... King Prabhas, Queen Pallavi, Samantha, Rashmika, and Eleanor... settled around the shaded table. The area was serene, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of the flowing Yamuna River nearby. The marble table gleamed under the filtered sunlight, and the scent of cardamom tea wafted through the air.

Pallavi gracefully lifted the teapot and poured tea into the delicate porcelain cups set in front of everyone. Samantha followed suit, serving small portions of seasonal fruits and spiced snacks onto individual plates.

Once everyone was served, Pallavi smiled.

"Please, help yourselves. We can discuss the purpose of your visit while we enjoy the tea."

Prabhas echoed her sentiment.

"Yes, let’s talk over food."

As they began nibbling on the snacks, Rashmika took the lead.

"Miss Raynor recently purchased several companies in the Taramani region of Chennai. She has come to India this time seeking cooperation with the Harivamsa Clan. My grandmother specifically asked me to support her to the best of my abilities."

She glanced at the King before continuing.

"Since Taramani falls within your jurisdiction, I thought it would be best if Miss Raynor and your clan could establish a formal partnership."

Prabhas folded his hands on the table, his expression calm but attentive.

"I see. Could you tell me more about the kind of cooperation you’re seeking?"

This time, Eleanor straightened her posture slightly and answered directly.

"I prefer to conduct business straightforwardly, so I hope you’ll forgive any bluntness, Your Majesty."

She paused, making sure they were following her tone and intent.

"My team is fully capable of managing the seven companies I’ve recently acquired. However, this is India... your territory. I never make the mistake of entering another supernatural region without acknowledging its rightful rulers. I don’t care whether my partners are human, werewolf, or werehyena. In every region, I work alongside local powers. That’s the foundation of my business ethics."

There was a brief silence as she continued.

"I’m fully aware that working in India, especially in regions like Tamil Nadu, involves more than business acumen. The local socio-political frameworks, unpredictable bureaucracy, cultural nuances, and, most importantly, security concerns... these are not to be underestimated."

She looked toward Prabhas with steady eyes.

"I’m requesting administrative support, access to trusted security personnel, and assistance in securing favorable terms with local government bodies when necessary. In return, I propose to give five percent equity in all my companies here to your clan."

She immediately clarified,

"Please understand, this isn’t a token gesture. That five percent amounts to millions of dollars. I currently hold seventy percent of the total shares in these companies... this offer is genuine and significant."

Prabhas exhaled softly, realizing he had been holding his breath. He cleared his throat and replied,

"Honestly, I’m less concerned with the share percentage. Since your businesses fall within my domain, I have an obligation to support lawful and respectful enterprises. Just provide me with a detailed list of what you need, and I’ll ensure it’s taken care of."

But Pallavi interjected with a thoughtful smile.

"Miss Raynor, of course, we accept your proposal. However, we would like to suggest one small condition."

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"We will not accept five percent ownership as a gift. We will invest the appropriate amount to purchase that stake at market value. In return, we would like you to allocate those shares to our daughter, Samantha, and appoint her as a director on the company board."

She quickly added,

"Don’t worry... she won’t interfere with daily operations. But with her on the board, she’ll serve as a liaison between you and our people, ensuring communication remains smooth and mutually beneficial."

Eleanor’s sharp mind instantly understood the deeper implications.

"Clever woman," she thought. "By placing her daughter on the board, the Queen ensures her region’s interests are protected. If something threatens their domain, Samantha will see it before it becomes a problem."

Aloud, Eleanor replied,

"I have no objection to that. But let me be clear... if Miss Nagavanshi proves to be a burden to operations, I’ll ask for her removal. It’s always better to have a difficult conversation at the beginning than to deal with frustration and misunderstandings later. That kind of tension can easily ruin business."

Pallavi’s smile widened, clearly appreciating Eleanor’s candid approach.

"I respect your honesty. Then let’s look forward to a prosperous and happy cooperation."

Eleanor extended her hand, and Pallavi shook it firmly.

"Happy cooperation," Eleanor echoed.

After further discussion on business structure, integration, and Samantha’s formal role, Eleanor spent some time briefing Samantha on the companies and expectations. Before departing, she introduced Samantha to Maya via a secure video call.

"Maya is human," she explained, "and she’ll be managing most of the day-to-day operations on-site. She’s trustworthy, but you’ll need to be cautious in matters of supernatural discretion."

Once everything was sorted, Eleanor returned to the helipad. The helicopter carried her back to Agra Airport, where her private jet awaited. Within hours, she was en route to Manchester, flying across continents once again.

Meanwhile, far away in the ancient temple of the werewolves, Sarika Somavati Harivamsa, the Priest of Werewolves... was in a deeply unsettled state after Eleanor’s departure.

She sat cross-legged in her meditation state, trying to calm her storming thoughts. The incense burned slowly beside her, but peace remained elusive. After several hours, she opened her eyes, resolved.

"I’ve wasted enough time worrying," she whispered to herself.

"It’s time to act."

Without hesitation, Sarika went to the airport, took her private jet and flew toward Brontes Island. She needed answers... answers only Erevan Brontes Lychos, the new King of Werewolves, could provide.

Back in Manchester, life for Eleanor settled into a steady rhythm.

In the mornings, after having breakfast together, she dropped Freya off at school, sharing small conversations and laughs during their drive. She then headed to her office, managing her growing empire with focus and precision.

In the afternoons, she picked Freya up and brought her home. On good days, they played in the garden, or visited the park when the weather allowed. On quieter evenings, they stayed indoors, playing board games, reading books, or simply enjoying each other’s company. Ethan was busy with his training, so he didn’t joined the. These days.

It was a life of balance... of work and peace. And for now, Eleanor truly cherished it.

Sometimes, Anastasiya Ivanova joined Eleanor and Freya during their afternoon outings. Despite only spending a few days together, Anastasiya had already formed a strong bond with Freya. Her cheerful and open personality easily captured the young girl’s attention, and their laughter often echoed through the villa gardens or local parks.

Though Anastasiya had initially come to the Kingdom to learn the ropes of business from Eleanor, she spent most of her time exploring. This was her first time visiting the Kingdom, and the unique blend of magical serenity and natural beauty fascinated her. As a girl from Russia, she found the cool air of the Kingdom rather refreshing. In fact, to her, it felt more like a mild summer breeze than a chill... perfect weather for long walks and sightseeing.

At first, Anastasiya had insisted on staying in a hotel to avoid imposing. However, Eleanor persuaded her to stay with Teresa temporarily at their Villa area. It didn’t take long for her to settle in. Surrounded by Teresa, Cassandra, and Laila, Anastasiya quickly felt at home. The warmth and companionship made her feel like part of the family, and now she had no Intention of moving to a hotel.

Meanwhile, Laila Hasanović, the skilled swordswoman Eleanor had brought with her from Russia, had officially received her identity as a citizen of the Kingdom. According to her new documents, she had Immigrated from a Scandinavian country over a decade ago under the name Laila Monroe. Officially, she had worked as a long-time security guard for the Raynor Estate.

To integrate her more smoothly, Teresa appointed Laila as a roaming security officer around the villa sector. This served two purposes: helping her understand how the Blanc Clan’s security system operated and keeping her protected while her new identity fully solidified.

Laila had also met Freya, and the two got along surprisingly well. Laila occasionally accompanied the group during their afternoon visits to parks or other scenic areas, always keeping a protective but friendly watch.

Back on the business front, Maya had returned from India after successfully aligning the newly acquired companies there with Heimdall’s strict operational standards. She appointed a capable supervisor from among the U.S.-trained space managers and left the Indian offices in good hands, without any lingering concerns.

Although the company was undergoing massive global expansion and work at headquarters was intense, things remained relatively peaceful. There were no major crises... just the daily grind of progress.

The only one truly buried in work was Teresa. While Eleanor continued to purchase companies as casually as one might collect souvenirs, Teresa was left managing over thirty newly acquired businesses. Though she had appointed competent personnel to oversee them, aligning each enterprise with Heimdall’s rigorous standards was a mammoth task. It required constant oversight and meticulous reporting.

But Eleanor, blissfully unconcerned with the pressure she had offloaded, was content. She happily spent her precious peaceful days with her daughter, embracing a rhythm of life she rarely had the luxury to enjoy.
