The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 361-365

Chapter 361: You Want Me to Kneel?

"Guest, apart from Ceylon Spice, Westpan City has many other good items, such as ores and furs. I'm sure you'll be pleased with them."

After everyone had left, Belin smiled and started to introduce the items that they had.

On the surface, Zhao Fu pretended to attentively listen, but in actuality, he didn't care about these things. The only thing that he wanted was to inundate Westpan City with equipment and medicinal pills.

After Belin finished his introductions, Zhao Fu took out the equipment and medicinal pills that he wanted to trade.

This surprised Belin. He picked up the equipment and looked at it, and he sniffed at the medicinal pills. A look of delight appeared on his face. Since Zhao Fu was willing to use so much good equipment and medicinal pills to trade, Westpan City would become much more powerful as a result.

If the trades were all conducted with equipment and medicinal pills like these, it would be an incredible trade for Westpan City, and this could even continue into a long-term relationship. However, Belin wasn't sure if Zhao Fu had more equipment and medicinal pills like these - it would be a pity for this to be a one-time deal.

"Guest, will you be using equipment and medicinal pills to trade in the future as well?" Belin asked. Because of the profits Zhao Fu brought, he spoke with great courtesy.
Zhao Fu could tell what Belin was thinking, and he retracted his aura before calmly replying that he would continue trading with equipment and medicinal pills in the future as well.

When he heard Zhao Fu confirm this, Belin felt quite delighted. If they could continue obtaining equipment and medicinal pills like this, Westpan City's status would continuously grow, and Westpan City would become more powerful.

Right now, he was only Westpan City's Minister of Internal Affairs, but if the City Lord was pleased with him because of the equipment and medicinal pills, he would most likely be promoted.

Belin inwardly rejoiced - all of this was because the Humans were so greedy and competitive, resulting in this stupid tycoon being willing to pay ten times the price from before.

"Sir Belin, I also need some slaves of any race. Are you able to facilitate this? I'm willing to pay a high price for them!"

On one hand, Zhao Fu wanted to flood Westpan City with equipment and medicinal pills, and on the other, he wanted to obtain more people like he had from the Orc City. If he didn't take advantage of all opportunities, that would be a waste.

"Slaves?" When he heard this, Belin slightly frowned. To any city, population was incredibly important, and Kobolds didn't normally enslave other races. They weren't as vicious as the Orcs and didn't normally attack other villages.
Even when they did attack and conquer other villages, they would kill everyone in order to prevent any future troubles from springing up. Belin felt quite troubled by Zhao Fu's request - after all, he was only the Minister of Internal Affairs and had only been ordered to facilitate trades with the Humans. He had no jurisdiction over military affairs like this.

However, because Zhao Fu said that he was willing to pay a high price, Belin felt quite tempted and thought about it. In the end, he sent a soldier to the higher-ups to report this, and after hearing their reply, he smiled as he said, "Guest, we can trade slaves with you, but the price will be quite high."

Zhao Fu didn't care at all - the greedier these Kobolds were the better. Even though it seemed like Zhao Fu was being taken advantage of, Westpan City was actually slowly coming into Zhao Fu's hands.

"That's no problem; if Westpan City can provide high-grade slaves, I'll be willing to pay even more!" Zhao Fu said, seeming as if he had extraordinary wealth.
