Chapter 447

With these words, he established a connection, seeking the attention of everyone present. He acknowledged the nature of his trade, emphasizing the need to maximize profits. Yet, he cunningly wove in an altruistic thread, claiming kindness in his heart and a willingness to endure a financial setback for the sake of the girl's fate.

The audience, now hanging on to his every word, felt the tension between commerce and compassion in the merchant's proclamation.
