Chapter 637: Chapter 403: The Return of the Magic Tide_3

Owen Bertram asked calmly, "Master, do you have anything practical in mind?"

Abner Lane was irritated, "What do you want?"

Owen Bertram thought for a moment and asked, "Has the Imperial Court opened trade with the Nine Witch Demon Court?"

Abner Lane immediately became alert, "What are you planning?"

I need money, thought Owen. If he could obtain trade rights with the Nine Witch Demon Court, it would definitely be another golden opportunity! A trip from Nanni Nation to the Wood Dynasty would bring enormous profits, and the same would be true for a trip to the Nine Witch Demon Court.

However, the Wood Dynasty had just fought a battle with the Nine Witch Demon Court’s agents, and the possibility of opening trade in a short period seemed unlikely.

Owen thought it over and simply disclosed the situation of the Flying Bear Army and the Nanni Nation. Even if he didn’t mention it now, it wouldn’t be long before Abner Lane and Lord Dunn found out.

"I want to forge a Celestial Warship to support the Flying Bear Army. In the long run, the Celestial Warship will be the main force in conquering Sang Island. But it’s too expensive..."

Listening to this, Abner Lane seemed somewhat moved. "Master Dunn told me that despite your repeated evasion of matters in the Southern Border, you wouldn’t neglect it."

Owen was secretly sneering but didn’t deny it.

Abner Lane said, "I will discuss the matter of open trade with Lord Dunn, and have him recommend it to His Majesty."

In fact, Owen had already developed a rough plan. "Let’s wait for another month until His Majesty’s Flying Carriages are completed and his inspection tour is successful. Then, I will co-write a proposal with Leroy Baker to be presented by Master Dunn."

Of course, Owen couldn’t run the business himself, but he would entrust it to Leroy Baker and draw a fixed portion of the profit each year. By that time, the Emperor would still appreciate Owen and Leroy Baker’s contributions, and with Master Dunn’s persuasion, it would increase the likelihood of receiving the exclusive trading rights.

Abner Lane also felt that Owen’s approach was more reliable and approved of it. Finally, Abner Lane said, "At the Sharon Mansion, don’t trust anyone! Lin Ronald started out there, and if there are any difficulties, let me know immediately. If you need help, the North Prison Town Governor’s Office is six hundred miles to the north, and Lord Liam has returned to his jurisdiction. You can contact her at any time."

Owen suddenly understood. Master Lane’s old lover couldn’t intervene directly, so she would be nearby as a backup.

After finishing his communication with Abner, Owen prepared to head to Sharon Mansion.

The distance from Looking Cloud Cliff to Sharon Mansion is 1,600 miles. Looking Cloud Cliff is located on the east side of the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain, while Sharon Mansion is on the west. However, crossing the entire Extinction Domain to reach Sharon Mansion would be an insurmountable feat, covering tens of thousands of miles.

This time, the situation at Sharon Mansion was unknown, and bringing a large force was not suitable. Owen considered it for a moment and finally decided on the candidates: Glenn Mitchell, Bart, and Leroy Baker.

Key members of the Summit Metropolitan Office, like David, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, Nathan Lane, etc., had their respective roles to play in maintaining the operations of the Summit Metropolitan Office, so they had to stay behind.

Glenn Mitchell was chosen for his strong abilities. Although Bart’s cultivation was not high, his quick wit, smooth disposition, and understanding made him a perfect candidate as an attendant.

As for Leroy Baker...he was a wallet.

Of course, this was just a joke in Owen’s mind. With his extensive connections and endless treasures, Leroy Baker was a very likable errand boy.

However, when Owen announced this decision, Leroy Baker was the first to object. He didn’t dare to openly confront Owen and followed him to a secluded area, complaining, "I’m not part of your Summit Metropolitan Office or even your Horizon Bureau, so how can you transfer me around like that?"

Without further explanation, Owen presented a memorial with the trade rights for the Nine Witch Demon Court. "It could be Leroy Baker, Topeka Hall, or Essence Collection, you can choose."

Leroy Baker scratched his head, thinking that this was simply overwhelming.

"Alright, for the sake of my family, I’ll risk my life to accompany you!"

Some people didn’t want to go, while others insisted on going. As soon as Owen sent Leroy away, he saw Catherine approaching. The veiled water fairy spoke with less arrogance when facing Owen, "Master, do you still remember that I owe you a favor? I did help you bring Glenn Mitchell and the others safely back to Looking Cloud Cliff."

Owen was puzzled, "Fairy, please enlighten me."

"I want to travel the world and broaden my horizons, so how could I miss such a major event as the Magic Wave?"

Owen felt it difficult to handle and thought that the water fairy’s self-positioning was quite inaccurate. The Summit Metropolitan Office didn’t need her to fight on the front lines. All she had to do was dress up beautifully and attract talented young people...

The Magic Wave is very dangerous. If something happens to her, the Summit Metropolitan Office would lose a banner, and it would be hard to explain to her sect.

"The journey is too dangerous, and I cannot guarantee your absolute safety, Fairy..."

Catherine interrupted him, "If I die while traveling the world, it’s my fate. My sect is prepared for this, and they won’t hold it against you."

Owen still didn’t want to agree, but Catherine said, "If you don’t want to take me with you, there’s no point in me staying at the Summit Metropolitan Office. I’ll take my leave now."
