Chapter 877: Volume 27: Sudden Storm, - 16: Collaborator
The subsequent conversation once again shattered Komer’s good impression of Mr. Feuerbach. His outrageous demands made Komer witness the truth behind "birds of a feather flock together." Far greedier than the Gisa people, this hybrid with an appetite bigger than the Karmani’s, had the audacity to demand a share of the profit from smelting and refining the magic metal ore in proportion with Komer, which led Komer to suspect this man had been influenced by the Karmani to make such an excessive demand.
Seeing the suspicious gaze Komer cast upon him, Karmani knew he might have been unjustly blamed. This Lord was already deeply prejudiced against the Gisa people, and cursed the voracious Feuerbach for causing the Lord to suspect a private agreement between them.
"Mr. Feuerbach, you are too hasty. How can you propose such an unrealistic demand when things haven’t even truly begun? My suggestion is, perhaps, after we see some substantial results, you should then exchange ideas with Lord Komer, which would likely be much more reasonable."
Komer cast a glance at Karmani; this guy was finally speaking sensibly. He dared to talk prices about something that was still just a shadow; Feuerbach was indeed unusually mad. If it weren’t for witnessing his "professional level" performance, Komer would have already kicked the man off the boat. For now, he still needed to keep Feuerbach close, especially to establish the magic metal refining center in Izmir.
Goat head must have seen Komer’s displeasure and offered a way out for themselves: "I was only speaking hypothetically. With my professional level, as long as Lord Komer can provide enough ore materials and artisan workers, I can assure you that in one year, the Caucasus will become a place that lords and mages from the Whole Continent will covet."
"Mr. Feuerbach, do you have any special requirements for the craftsmen and workers?" Komer asked directly, ignoring the other’s attempt to ease the situation.
