Chapter 380 - 353: The Transformation of the Drow Elf
Amberser didn’t necessarily want to save the world; instead, the return of the Dragon Race seriously conflicted with his interests.
Currently, Amberser’s most profitable enterprises were sunscreen and the Fountain of Youth: sunscreen, a daily necessity for the low-income populace, and the Fountain of Youth, a high-end luxury item that didn’t exploit the poor.
Both these products were exclusively used by humanoid creatures, especially humans.
It was different for the Dragon Race. Generally, the older a dragon became, the more powerful it was, making the Fountain of Youth practically poison to them. As for sunscreen, which dragon ever needed protection from the sun?
If the Dragon Race were to return en masse and enslave all intelligent species, to whom could Amberser sell his products?
Moreover, the Dragon Race was inherently plunderous; they never produced anything themselves but only pilfered from others.
If such a species were to rule the world, commerce would cease to exist. How then would Amberser conduct business, make money—by looting himself?
Even the most formidable bandit couldn’t make money as quickly as through conducting business, an indisputable fact.
Therefore, everything Amberser had previously stated was true: he truly hoped for the real Laine to govern the continent, where everyone would live in peace and prosperity, allowing Amberser to amass vast wealth.
The ideal scenario, of course, would be for the Dragon Race to continue their barely alive existence overseas, unable to return and solely dependent on Amberser to bring them food and drink while he profited as a middleman.
