Chapter 189:
“It’s surprisingly easy to strike a deal. I thought he would make more outrageous demands, given the current situation of Transia. We only have that metaphysical backbone left.”
In the shadows of the Blood Vulture Halls, Murphy was surprised that the negotiation with the Carpe family went so smoothly. Lieutenant Frayzer’s conditions were indeed harsh, but if these conditions could bring back the desperately needed basic industrial production lines to his territory, Murphy was willing to pay more.
No one on this land understood the power of mastered technology better than him.
Although the technology in this world was slightly different from what he remembered, it was not a problem. At the very least, a gun was still a gun. If all else failed, he could recruit some “punishing” little players to handle it manually.
He would never underestimate the little players’ “trouble-making” talents in this area.
“Miriam, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Murphy instructed the Crimson Regent beside him:
“The nobles in the Anju region may not be as tolerant of vampires as the locals. I’d better not show up to avoid scaring them. If they demand more benefits in the next detailed discussion, you can give in appropriately. My only request is that those seized production lines must be retrieved as soon as possible.
We cannot solely rely on the merchants of the Nordtov Kingdom. That would be putting our lifeline in someone else’s hands.”
