Chapter 235: Striking It Rich
Leon had no fear of the Traveling Merchant’s Guild playing petty tricks on him. As long as he could keep producing high-quality crops, that would remain his strongest bargaining chip to protect his own interests.
After all, the Traveling Merchant’s Guild wasn’t the only commercial organization in this world. There was also Joja Corporation. As long as the market wasn’t monopolized, Leon didn’t have to worry about his premium crops being undervalued.
Not to mention, from the intel he had gotten from Linus, it was obvious that the big boss of the Traveling Merchant’s Guild knew Linus personally. If things really came to that, Leon could always ask Linus to help mediate.
So when it came to Gus’s worries, Leon wasn’t nervous at all. Don’t ask why—when you’ve got food in your hands, your heart stays calm.
“You’re right. With your smarts, it would be strange if they could trick you. I was overthinking,” Gus said, slapping his leg in relief.
“Still, thank you, Gus. I know you’re genuinely concerned for me,” Leon said, offering his thanks.
“Hahaha, we’re friends. Of course I’d look out for you.” Gus grinned. “By the way, what do you want for lunch? Order whatever you like, I’ll make it. We have to celebrate properly.”
“Just a regular meal is fine. I trust your cooking,” Leon replied with a thumbs-up.
“Alright, I’ll handle it. You go take care of your things, and just come by when it’s time to eat,” Gus said with a nod.
