"I have nothing left! Mr. Roman, only you can save me now."
Daken knelt before Roman's feet.
He regretted his carelessness and despised the pirates.
Though he escaped with his life, his caravan plunged into the abyss.
Jiehai wasn't covered by the treaties signed between the Commercial Guild and the Nobles, so they couldn't help him shoulder part of the losses.
This left him bankrupt and saddled with a tremendous debt, which he couldn't pay off for decades.
Daken had no choice but to come to this place that could show him a glint of hope.
"I haven't brought you a single slave, but I beg you to help me rise again and reorganize my affairs. For this, I am willing to offer everything I have!"
Roman remained calm, looking at the merchant before him.
Daken said he hadn't brought any slaves, but to Roman, it seemed he had brought one after all.
...
The concept of the Commercial Guild came from the political entity known as the Free City, one of the Seven Kingdoms.
