CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 174: UNWORTHY TO TRADE WITH YOU (10,000 WORDS)

Half an hour later.

Lynn returned to the open square in front of the small town.

Pulling the reins, he gradually slowed Mo Ying down. Lynn dismounted and walked forward.

George, who had been waiting on the side, strode over to meet Lynn.

George hurriedly, and with difficulty, said, "Master."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound, "Explain in detail."

George immediately began to explain, "Mr. Alan has brought a large batch of goods and warhorses!"

"But... Mr. Alan said that his partners are you, not me, the household attendant."

"If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t proceed with the transaction."

Clearly, George’s words differed from those of the guards.

Even if Lynn didn’t speculate, he could understand that George intentionally omitted the unpleasant words Alan had said to ensure the smooth progression of the transaction.

Lynn remained silent, striding towards Alan up ahead.

Only then did Alan stand up and smile as he spoke to Lynn, "Master Lynn, long time no see."

Lynn nodded casually, "Mr. Alan, it has indeed been a while."

The next second,

Lynn shifted the topic, "Mr. Alan, I’ve heard from my household attendant that you will only work with me? If I’m not present, my household attendant doesn’t qualify to transact with you?"

A slight surprise appeared on Alan’s face.

He hadn’t anticipated that Lynn would candidly address this topic.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Alan nodded and said, "Yes, Master Lynn!"

"I will only transact with the master of the territory."

"Only in this way can I ensure the transaction is safe and reliable."

Lynn responded, "Certainly, Mr. Alan, you have your own transaction principles."

Alan didn’t speak further but kept his gaze on Lynn.

He could feel that the atmosphere of the transaction discussion had become somewhat heavy.

Was it because he had said "not worthy of the position" to that household attendant?

Lynn, looking directly at Alan, said, "Mr. Alan, you can have your transaction principles."

"And I have mine!"

"George Dalton pledged loyalty to me nine months ago."

"He is my first and currently the only loyal household attendant."

"He is responsible for all external transaction matters in my territory, including exchanging warhorses or other goods with you, Mr. Alan, for fine salt."

"His transaction conduct represents my opinion."

"Disrespecting him is disrespecting me!"

Hearing this, Alan’s expression turned somewhat serious.

He even glanced at George beside Lynn.

Lynn continued, "Of course, if Mr. Alan is willing to work with George, I’d be very welcoming."

"If not, it’s no matter. I can still use fine salt to exchange for this batch of goods and warhorses!"

"But next time... Mr. Alan will not pass through that city wall!"

Listening to Lynn’s words, George’s face was full of determination.

Even the once slightly bent posture by Alan’s side now stood tall.

Master Lynn was actually standing up to Alan for him!

It was all about defending him!

Alan’s eyes narrowed slightly, also meeting Lynn’s gaze directly.

In his view, Lynn was just a minor lord in a newly developing territory.

Lucky enough to find an exploitable open-pit salt mine.

Were it not for the high profits and transport convenience of fine salt, even with a connection like Grayson, he wouldn’t have come to such a remote territory.

Merely a minor lord.

Not to mention the so-called household attendant beside a minor lord?

Yet, at this moment,

Alan sensed a different aura from Lynn.

A feeling as if a robust and growing lion were shielding its own under its wings.

After a short while.

The cold expression on Alan’s face turned back into a smile. Looking at Lynn and George, he spoke with a tone full of apology, "Apologies, Master Lynn, apologies, Mr. George."

"I apologize for my previous rudeness and abruptness!"

"I’ve always considered Master Lynn as the best partner, and since Mr. George is Master Lynn’s household attendant, he naturally is the best partner too?!"

Lynn returned the smile, "Of course."

"Mr. Alan, what goods have you brought me this time?"

Alan walked past Lynn towards the carriage.

He waved his right hand, indicating, "As you can see, Master Lynn, I have brought you warhorses! A hundred warhorses!"

"And there’s meat, the carriage is full of fresh meat, a total of thirty thousand pounds!"

Lynn’s gaze quickly scanned over the warhorses.

[Badan Warhorses]: Medium warhorses, with rather good speed and maneuverability, etc.

Unlike the previous Bada Pureblood and Upper-Class Warhorses, Alan transported medium warhorses this time!

However, compared to draft horses, medium warhorses have superior advantages that draft horses can’t match.

At the very least, soldiers can ride warhorses onto the battlefield to engage enemies!

Lynn scanned around, confirming there were no injured or sick horses.

Lynn looked at Alan, "Mr. Alan, you may quote the price!"

Upon hearing Lynn’s words, Alan smiled, "Master Lynn, I won’t waste words."

"Although these are just medium warhorses, they also come from Badan!"

"They’ve also undergone rigorous instruction training."

"As for the price, it’s Twenty Gold Pounds per horse, along with fifty thousand pounds of meat, totaling..."

Before Alan could finish, Lynn interrupted him.
