Pirate Hunters
As we had promised, we agreed to let them go after they had given us most of their cargo.
Surprisingly, Emilia did not demand them to hand over everything they had. She simply got them to bring out their valuables on deck and took around three quarters of it.
When I asked why, she explained to me with a grin, "If I were to rob them blind, they would have no cargo to sell and might be ruined after this. If I leave them with enough to break even, they would continue their trading and we might even rob them again~"
"But that's if we continue being pirates, right?" I pointed out.
She nodded, "That's right, but in terms of being merchants, I would now be aware of a certain Nyarel merchant group that may need some funding in return for favours~"
Right… Of course… I should have expected something like this from Emilia.
The cargo this group of Nyarels were transporting seemed to be a mixture of silk, food and gold.
