With his experience from last time, Zhao Fu decided not to work together with any large merchant groups anymore. Even though they were quite powerful and could find things Zhao Fu wanted easily, it was easy for them to attract attention.
As such, this time, Zhao Fu chose some smaller merchant groups, and he would not buy in such large quantities. He would buy an appropriate amount from each merchant group so as to keep the transactions going for as long as possible.
Within the Moonrest Empire, Zhao Fu found a small merchant group called Clear Moon. Zhao Fu did not plan to work with just anyone; he first investigated the merchant groups first, as he did not want to work with any disputable groups that might cause him to make a loss.
The Clear Moon Group's reputation was quite good, and even though it was quite small, it had good standing. All items were clearly identified and valued, and it was almost impossible to buy anything fake from there.
