Everyone took the warning seriously and discussed the matter.
Even if it was only a possibility, security took priority over everything else, including for the lord of the nine realms, who sent a message five minutes later.
[Lord of the nine realms: I set 2 units of wood for 40 and 41 cores. You buy one, then the other once the carpenter arrives.]
[Adam: Sure. I don't have to warn you about what'll happen if you try to scam me, right? I'll let you guess my army's strength if I can put 81 cores for trade.]
Even if he half bluffed about the number, his fourteen tier-two demons would wreck the man's territory in the blink of an eye in two days.
Ignoring the other lord's message, his eyes sparkled with anticipation as he waited for the man's answer.
[Lord of the nine realms: I sent two guards with him. Try to meet them midway to save time for us both.]
[Adam: Sure.]
