Chapter 19
After exchanging pleasantries, Kei got down to business.
“Anything the Lord commands, I wouldn’t dare not take it to heart. I’ve collected quite a few things, I’ll take you to have a look now,” Mu Zhuo said with a smile.
He then called out loudly towards the center of the tavern: “Ota, stop drinking! Come here quickly!”
The beastkin named Ota had just defeated his opponent in a drinking contest and was basking in the cheers and flattery from those around him.
Hearing Mu Zhuo’s voice, he wiped his mouth and strode over.
As he approached, Ota’s gaze paused for a moment on Su Nan, his pupils seemingly contracting before he turned to Mu Zhuo, grinning and asking, “Boss, what’s up?”
“Time for work.” Mu Zhuo pointed to the backyard, then smiled at Kei and Su Nan, “Please follow me.”
The Fire Fox Trading Company’s carriage and goods were all placed in the backyard, guarded by more than a dozen fully armed men.
Judging from their uniform clothing and weapons, they were not mercenaries, but private soldiers cultivated by the Fire Fox Trading Company.
