The peddlers quickly returned to Kingsbridge City to tell the news of this amazing discovery.
They told them all about how the mysterious road led to the Dwarven Kingdom, and that as it turned out, it was the Reborn company who created them in the first place.
Not only that, but the Reborn company was somehow able to gain the good favors of the Dwarven Kingdom and allow them to buy all the Damascus Steel that they could buy.
Because of how insane this piece of story was, the gossip quickly spread throughout the entire City, with newspapers printing all kinds of theories and speculation as to how this happened, and if this was even true.
They could believe that the Reborn company constructed these roads. They certainly had the money and power to do it. However, the fact that they became an ally to the Dwarven Kingdom truly baffled a lot of people.
Even the greatest company in the world, the Vanderbilt business, was unable to break through the tough defenses of the Dwarven Kingdom. No matter how much the grossly wealthy Yze Vanderbilt tried to persuade the dwarves with money, they still wouldn’t budge about their policy to reject outside business.
All other nations and kingdoms tried their hand as well, but to no avail. It seemed as if the Dwarven Kingdom would forever close their doors to outsiders.
But now, the upstart Reborn company was suddenly able to do what none had accomplished. Although the citizens of Kingsbridge City loved the innovative company, they simply couldn’t believe this news unless they saw it for themselves.
Soon enough, a lot of people took their carriages towards the concrete roads and made the journey towards the Dwarven Kingdom.
This led them to discover that the roads were indeed as smooth as how the others described it. And once they reached the walls in the valley guarded by dwarves, they were given the same answer as the first peddlers that came there.
No one could enter unless they had the symbol of the Reborn company on their carriages.
They returned to Kingsbridge City to spread this news.
And it didn’t just end there. The entire Kings region soon became aware of the fact that the Reborn company was the only business that could offer them something that no one could. They could get Damascus Steel from them!
So, all Reborn company buildings and offices scattered around the territories in the Kings region, including the main office in Kingsbridge City, were crowded with a lot of people asking if the stories were indeed true.
A lot of royalties and wealthy people began to send Castelle a lot of letters stating their intent to buy Damascus Steel from their company at a very high price.
But no matter how many people bothered the offices, the Reborn company made no statement and continued to remain silent.
That was until today, when all of their preparations had finally been completed.
Castelle looked down the window of her office and saw a lot of people crowding themselves in front of their company building.
“Young Master, we’re ready on our side,” she said to the shadow on her feet.
“Good. You already know what to do, so I won’t bother you any longer. Show them what concrete can do! Good luck!” Michael said, with his voice being transmitted all the way over from the Nation of Reborn.
Behind Michael was an entire fleet of automobiles, ready to be dispatched towards the Kings region, where all the Reborn offices spread around the different territories would simultaneously announce the unveiling of their new product, the concrete!
After they have fully shown the potential of concrete, Michael would then announce their biggest product as of yet, the automobiles!
…
…
…
Back at Kingsbridge City, Castelle nodded to her assistant by the door, telling her that it was time.
With her instruction, the doors to the Reborn company buildings had finally been opened, surprising all of the people clamoring to get inside.
But before they could ask what was happening, a group of men and women, all wearing construction attire complete with helmets and tools, walked out of the building in an organized manner.
These workers quickly walked towards the empty plot of land right in front of their building.
And without further ado, the construction workers began to dig holes in the empty plot of land, as if they were creating the foundation for another building.
“What are they building?”
“Why are they starting so late in the day?”
“Wait… what’s that strange gray liquid that they’re pouring over there?”
The crowd watched as the workers began to pour concrete all over the foundation.
However, they barely waited for another hour before the workers began to work again, installing pillars and walls surrounding the plot of land.
“So fast?! What are they doing?!”
“How did that strange liquid harden so fast?! It’s only been a few hours!”
The news quickly spread about this publicity stunt, with more and more people taking a peek at the construction.
“Huh? When did they create this building here?”
“Yesterday…”
“Yesterday?!?!”
“Yes, I’ve been here all the time and saw them build this in just under one day…”
As the day came to a close, the construction workers finally put the finishing touches onto the building.
There were now hundreds of spectators watching the whole construction unfold with awe and shock written all over their faces.
“It’s finished,” the construction worker said, eliciting gasps from the crowd.
They could hardly believe it. So, to prove that everything was solid, the construction workers invited people to step foot into the building, showing them that even the second floor was as solid as a rock.
By now, the entire Kingsbridge City had heard of this miraculous building that was built in just under one day.
Not only that, the material used to create this building looked similar to the material used on the mysterious roads.
After everything was over, Castelle came out of the building and announced to everyone about the unveiling of their newest product.
“Greetings! What you have seen is the power of concrete!
We can help you construct a building in just under one day! We can help you create a towering wall in under a week! And we can create a road that spans the whole City in just under one month!
If you want to buy concrete for yourselves, then you are welcome to place your orders in our company.”
Before she even finished speaking, the crowd began to push themselves into the office to reserve one for themselves.
After all, anyone would be tempted by the prospect of building a house in just under one day!
