I'm not a lord

Chapter 33 Send Your Sister Here
Lynn declined to comment on Leon's flattery.

He stood in front of the assembled demon bear skeleton with his hands behind his back and asked:

"My friend, as the most impartial merchant in Three Rivers, how many gold coins are you willing to pay for this bear skin and this skeleton?"

Leon pretended to think deeply before replying, "If you ask me to make a bid, the most I can offer for this bear skin is 80 Northern Gold Shields. As for the price of the skeleton, it's hard to say. I'll temporarily estimate it at 5 Northern Gold Shields.

Of course, if we meet a collector who is interested in rare and exotic items, the final price will certainly be higher, but as you know, such collectors are rare throughout the continent."

"That's a fair price." Lin En chuckled. "Then if I give you both of these collections as a return gift, would that satisfy you?"

"Sir, this return gift is too valuable. If I accept it, I will definitely feel uneasy. So please allow me to use the gold coins to buy some peace of mind."

Faced with Lynn's generosity, Leon was not surprised but wary.

As a successful black market businessman, he never believes that pie will fall from the sky. There must be a trap hidden under the seemingly delicious fat meat.

He also didn't think that Lin En would be so kind as to give away a bear skin worth hundreds of gold coins for free.

A bandit leader who kills people like crazy has nothing to do with generosity.

"That's not necessary. You risked your shipwreck by sailing to White Bear Territory and brought me the iron ingots and tools I desperately needed. I also want to thank you for providing me with Roman's whereabouts. You deserve all of this."

What Lynn said makes sense.

The Baihe River had just thawed at the end of March, but it was still in the dry season and the water level was very shallow.

Leon definitely took a risk by sailing upstream.

Moreover, Leon dared to rush to the White Bear Territory with only a few followers based on a letter. His courage in pursuing profits is also worthy of reward.

But even so, Leon still firmly refused:

"Sir, why should I take any risks? The boatmen on this boat have sailed the White River for their entire lives. Even with their eyes closed, they can get me safely to White Bear Territory.

Besides, it's the off-season for business right now. There's no way gold coins will come to me if I just sit in Sanhe City. I just made the choice that any businessman would make."

Seeing that Leon was not fooled, Lin En was too lazy to pretend anymore: "Since you insist, that's fine, but I don't need gold coins, I just need one of your collections."

Although he was back to business, Leon remained cautious: "Please speak."

"Your sister." Lin En didn't beat around the bush and drew his sword directly.

Leon's younger sister is a well-known beauty in Sanhe City. She is said to have received a good education and is still unmarried.

Hearing that Lin En intended to touch his precious sister, Leon's fair face suddenly turned gloomy:
"Sir, my sister is not a treasure. She lost her parents when she was only five years old. I raised her with all my heart. I am both her brother and her father. She and I..."

Lin En interrupted impatiently: "How much do you want? Give me a price!"

"Sir, this is not a matter of money. She just turned sixteen, and she doesn't want to marry far away." Having said that, Leon actually didn't want his sister to marry Lin En at all.

A bandit is worthy of marrying his beloved sister? Dream on!
"marry?"

Lin En snorted coldly, "A merchant's daughter is worthy of being a baron's wife? I mean, letting her become my mistress is already the best destination for her."

"Sir, I think there is no need for us to continue talking. Please allow me to take my leave." Leon's face was completely gloomy, and his tone became quick and stiff. He was about to leave.

"What's the rush? You're just a black marketeer, yet you're willing to spend a fortune hiring a teacher to teach your sister court etiquette. Aren't you just hoping to use her to curry favor with the nobles? With such a great opportunity right before you, why would you back down?"

Lynn had long seen through Leon's little thoughts.

Being a black market trader means you will never see the light of day in your life, and if you are not careful you will fall into an abyss from which there is no escape.

Leon took great pains to cultivate his beautiful sister, simply because he wanted to give his sister to a nobleman as a mistress, so as to get close to the nobleman and gain his protection.

Blood ties are the strongest bond, and the union of blood ties is a natural alliance. The courts of the great nobles of the North are often filled with mistresses from merchant families.

Money and power are like the two poles of a magnet. They will always find each other and then become closely connected.

Lynn can not only see through Leon's little thoughts, but also see through Leon's true nature through the panel.

【Leon★★】

[Commander E] [Strength E-] [Constitution E] [Intelligence C] [Internal Affairs D-] [Charm E+]

[Loyalty: 1 (Cannot be taken as a follower)]

[Characteristic 1: Business - having advantages in business activities]

[Characteristic 2: Greed - desire for wealth and prone to corruption]

After being exposed by Lynn, Leon's eyes could no longer move.

And it was really hard for him to refute it. Was it possible for him to say that Lin En was just a horse bandit?

He wasn't stupid enough to use his neck to taste the sword at Lynn's waist.

"Leon, don't underestimate my intelligence network. Do you want me to tell you the name of your sister's teacher? Why do you think I invited you to White Bear Territory? Have you ever thought about this question? Why you?"

Lynn stepped directly in front of Leon and looked down at the greedy black marketeer.

Leon raised his head and asked with a hint of confusion: "Why?"

Of course, he had thought about this issue before coming to White Bear Territory.

He believed that Lin En was unfamiliar with the place and therefore could only rely on his business channels.

But now he was confused, this was obviously not the correct answer.

"Because I want to give you a chance, a chance to control your own destiny."

Lynn said as he walked towards the northwest corner of the warehouse.

There lay an inconspicuous wooden box, which Lin En had prepared in advance.

He opened the box and took out a crystal white stone, which was the one he had dug out from the salt mountain.

Then, Lynn stuffed the stone directly into Leon's arms and ordered: "Taste it."

"taste?"

Leon was now completely led by Linn. He stuck out his tongue in confusion and licked the white particles on the stone.

He immediately frowned and almost vomited.

"Salt? This is salt! No, this is salt ore!"

Leon's eyes gradually blossomed with brilliant light. He caressed this seemingly insignificant stone as if it were a nugget of gold, and asked impatiently:

"Where did you get this stone? You found a salt mine in White Bear Territory! Right?"

"Give me permission to sell salt! I'll send my sister over right away! Forget about being a mistress, you can even ask her to feed your horses!"

Leon was so excited, but as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly denied it, "No, no, no, I can't sell salt. This will lead to the gallows!"
