I Became A Black Merchant In Another World

“No matter what era or world you find yourself in, people generally think the same. Whether it’s people who went bankrupt from speculating on stocks or real estate, or those who lost everything in the Toscanian Empire.”

I’m not trying to make excuses, but unlike Yi Wan-yong, I won’t sell out my own country or betray my nation’s interests.

For someone like me, living in Korea, the worst insult you can throw at someone is to call them "a traitor like Yi Wan-yong."

Making money by destroying your own country and selling it out is not something I would do.

If I had intervened in the real estate market crash and caused even worse chaos, there would have been riots.

‘What if I bought a mansion in the center of Florence for 30% of its market value?’

Land and building prices could have been temporarily lowered to around 30% of their previous value.

But I didn’t do that.

I didn’t want to sell out my country.

Even though the slave trade was a lucrative business that could have lasted for 200 years, I didn’t want to increase the number of victims like Chloe, who suffered from human trafficking.

The profit wasn’t worth it, so I gave it up.

“Of course, I didn’t directly intervene. But I didn’t warn them to stay away.”
