Unknown Knight

Aix looked meaningfully at his former friend and current enemy, Ogbai Roger.

Like many former friends, there is generally only one situation that can cause such a subversive change in this relationship, and that is because of interests.

The same is true for this Rogge. He developed greed in his heart that was not commensurate with his abilities, which has led to him becoming a miserable prisoner.

However, this guy seemed to still think that they and Aix were still "friends" in the past, and he said to Aix who took the time to come and see him:

“Sir, hehe, I was also bewildered and shouldn’t have had such unreasonable thoughts. But now that the mistake has been made, it won’t help even if you kill me. Zion City is an important node of our family’s business. As long as the family still wants to gain profits from the slave trade, they will definitely not give up the idea of ​​seizing this place.

I have an idea. Since you are the owner of this place now, why not rent it to our family? This way, it will not affect our family's business. Our family will also pay you a generous rent. This way, both of our families can make money and we will not have to hate each other. We can still be friends. What do you think of this, my lord?"

Ogbai Roger's words made Aix fall into deep thought. Judging from the current situation, the territory and the Ogbai family are already in a situation of life and death.

However, their family did make a living from the slave trade. If they really lost this important node, their family would lose their current huge business advantages, which would inevitably lead to the decline of the entire family.

Although the territory defeated and captured the main force of their family in the Second Battle of Zion, for the survival of the family, it is not ruled out that they will use all their strength to attack the territory again.

And given the current situation of the territory, it is absolutely impossible to launch a full-scale attack on the unified Gronia continent. That would be equivalent to declaring war on the entire continent, which is tantamount to seeking death.

If the stronghold that originally belonged to their family was rented to them, it would not affect their family business, eliminate a potential enemy of the territory, and bring a fixed income to the territory every year. It was a good win-win solution.

No, if Rogge is included, it should be a win-win-win situation. This guy knows very well that he is the culprit that caused the conflict between the two families. If he fails, he will fall into an irretrievable situation. This is probably the self-rescue method he came up with after racking his brains. If he does it well, it may give him a hope of escaping the crime. But then again, I'm afraid only he who is in this position can have this perspective.

Rogge's suggestion really impressed Aix. Although there were certain risks, it was a good solution if handled properly.

This made Aix re-evaluate his old friend, and he said to him playfully:

"This suggestion alone cannot offset the crime you committed this time. If you have anything else that can impress me, you'd better tell me quickly so that I can consider whether to spare your life or not."

Rogge was frightened by Aix's words and said hurriedly:

"Sir, please calm down. I was also deceived by the people below and lost my mind. I made such a mistake. Please forgive me for the sake of our past friendship.

I may not have any other skills, but I do have the ability to look after slaves. As you know, half of the slaves imprisoned in the fortress are still alive and have been deducted from the account by me. This profit can be given to you, sir.

In addition, the slaves' rations can be deducted by 30-40%. The money from selling these grains can be presented to you, sir. I only beg you to spare my life!"
