old out like that, Earl Walter’s underlings signaled at each other with their eyes and approached the merchant.

“Oi, I will buy some.”

“Yes, how much would you like?”

“All of it.”

“Wha?”

“I am saying I will buy all the salt you brought.”

“Thank you very much.
However, but the amount other customers will buy…”

“Stop nitpicking and just sell them to me! I will give 600 toll per kg.”

“O-oh…”

“I am telling you to sell them!!”

Said the man, striking the stand.
Seeing that menacing look, the customers who had gathered also dispersed and the merchant gave up.

“I-I understand.
But, it is quite a lot, isn’t it?”

“How much do you have?”

“Umm….”

The merchant looked at his account book.

“I have about 5 tons.”

“5 ton, you say?!”

“Yes.
And so, I don’t know what you will be using them on but how about taking 2 tons for now?”

Said the merchant, but,

“N-no, I said all of it so gimme all.”

The man didn’t yield.
Being told that many times, even the merchant had no choice but to comply.

“T-then, please inspect the salt in this wagon yourself.
I have sold about 60 kilos already so there’s 4940 kilos left.”

“Alright, lemme see.”

Saying that, the men got in and brought out the salt.
10 kgs at a time and confirmed the weight.

“….There’s no mistake.”

After about half a day, the men had finished weighing all 4940 kilos of salt and looked exhausted.

“Here, the money.”

Saying that, he handed over a bag of silver and gold coins.

“Thank you very much.”

The merchant quickly counted the money, which was a total of 2,964,000 toll, and then disappeared into a city corner with his golem and wagon.

“Fu, idiot.
It doesn’t hurt us no matter how much we pay.”

The man said.
And then made eye signals to a man standing far away.

“… Be as happy as you want with the money you just got.
We will be taking it back this night, though.”

Such a scene could also be seen at Rakuham, Saww and Zuk.

That night.

“….What happened to the peddlers?”

“Th-that is…”

“I am asking you something!”

“….They disappeared.”

“What?!”

“After the encounter, we were following the merchant stealthily but after going around a certain corner, the golem and the merchant disappeared, leaving the empty wagon.”

“There’s no way such a thing can happen! It’s one thing if it was just the human but for a huge ass metal golem to just disappear into thin air?!”

Even if he says that now, it isn’t like they would come back.

They had paid the 2,964,000 toll planning to take it back but had failed miserably.

[Good job, Regulus 35, Land 54]

At Hourai Island, Laojun was praising the Quinta Regulus 35 and Army Golem Land 54 for their work as the merchant.

Pairing these two up, he sent them to Sharuru town to sell salt.

“As expected, there were people who came to take back the money.”

[Just as My Lord’s knowledge suggested.]

“Yes, although we had to leave the wagon.”

[That’s not a problem.
It’s just a mediocre wagon.
More importantly, making that Earl suffer a loss was good.]

They did the same at other places.
With Regulus 36 and Land 55 at Rakuham and Regulus 37 and Land 56 ta Saww.
At Zuk, Regulus 38 and Land 57 went and they all sold salt at a high price.

[A total of 20 ton was sold, eh? That makes 12,000,000 toll.
This will hit him hard financially.]

It is quite a big sum of money for an individual.

And then, Laojun played one more move.

[After a few days, let’s start selling salt in a small scale.
At the previous price of 200 toll.
We must not sell these to those guys.]

With this, he plans to maintain the normal market price of salt.

[It’s only costly because there’s a shortage of it.
However, if there’s too much salt in the market, the price will have to go down.]

Jin was not that familiar with economics so Laojun couldn’t also scheme better than that.
But it was more than effective to make Earl Walter suffer.
