“Lend you an island?”
“That is correct. It seems there are many empty islands in your water territory, you just need to give me one of them. It is not an outrageous demand, is it?”
“I am warning you, it would be best not to play word games in front of me.”
At Jaekyung's fierce gaze, Myeong-ha laughed lightly. Neither of them was a fool, so they well understood what asking for an island meant. For Jaekyung to give Myeong-ha an island within his water territory meant that he would be protecting Myeong-ha under his name.
Myeong-ha was either a rather famous demonic cultivator, or if not, he was certainly a man with many enemies. That must be why he was trying to hide his body in the demon lands.
“What are you planning to do?”
“I intend to start a business.”
“A business? What kind of business?”
“A sort of trade. Supplying what is needed to each other across the boundaries between races, and taking a small fee in the process.”
“Are you talking about grand auctions?”
“Something very similar. Once the foundation is more established, I am also thinking of opening a market square.”
“The risk must be great.”
“Wealth and honor bloom amidst danger. Furthermore, the risk associated with this business is not as great as you think. I am confident I can source the goods stably.”
