Fortunately, Plavin realized something at the man�s next words.

�Think about why I came to find you.�

�Why did this person come to find me?�

He didn�t seem like the type to threaten him with just this necklace. This man had the aura of somebody who was looking to do something bigger.

�Think about whether the amount I called out is just for the value of this necklace. Think long and hard.�

30 billion counds.

His mind suddenly flashed with a revelation.

Plavin realized what the 30 billion counds were for.

It was the money required to re-establish a connection with the Church of the Sun God. That was what the money was for.

Was it going to be the Empire or the Church of the Sun God?

Or would it be both?

�No. The Singten Merchant Guild�s future is on the line as well.�

If this man and the people working for this man spread the information about the slaves to the other kingdoms?

And if he immediately spread it to the Caro Kingdom?

There were many captured people in the Empire. Would Plavin be able to cover it up?

Risk and reward.

Everything seemed to be crashing toward him at once like multiple waves.

It was at that moment.

�What are you contemplating so hard? Just follow your methods.�

It was the voice of someone looking down at him.

Cale shared another truth with Plavin.

�The strong are those who manage to survive.�

Plavin�s cloudy mind immediately cleared up.
