Bab 72: Farsightedness

Douglas' wooden house.

Upon hearing Roman's words, Fierro and Christina also looked at Douglas.

Douglas chuckled disdainfully and said, "No, it's not just these five pieces of pottery. I've taken on a big deal, with profits of at least fifty thousand gold leaves!"

Upon hearing this, the others were completely incredulous.

Douglas had anticipated this and remained calm, saying to Richard, "Richard, why don't you confirm if I'm lying?"

Richard replied, "Mr. Douglas, for me to testify, it'll cost you extra."

Douglas handed over a handful of gold leaves.

Richard smiled as he pocketed them and then said, "Mr. Douglas is not lying. During this journey, we encountered a remarkable tribe..."

As Richard recounted the tale, the disdain on Christina, Roman, and Fierro's faces gradually turned into seriousness and intensity. Their breathing quickened as they pondered whether to get involved.
