It became flushed with a rosy tint.

As if slightly tipsy.

Lady Kari was unconcerned with her demeanor. After gently burping, she leaned back against the wooden chair behind her.

She spoke to Lynn with a satisfied expression: "Master Lynn, the taste of this gin is truly wonderful!"

"Compared to this gin, the drinks in Triumph City's Carol Castle are just like swill!"

"Yet they always boast about their so-called royal tribute wines."

"I sincerely hope they never get to taste such a long-lasting gin in their lives!"

Lynn didn't respond, instead, he picked up the glazed glass and took another sip.

Perhaps it was due to his enhanced physical condition.

After drinking several glasses of gin, he felt not even the slightest hint of intoxication. Instead, his whole body felt warmly comfortable, like a furnace.

Shifting the topic, Lynn inquired of Kari: "Miss Kari, after completing this shipment, where do you plan to go?"

Still leaning against the chair back, Kari was gazing at the ceiling of the parlor hall.

Looking at the empty ceiling, she replied: "I don't know where to go, really."

"Perhaps I'll go wherever there are goods to be found?"

"But don't worry, Master Lynn."

"Wherever I go, I'll be purchasing goods for you and delivering them to your territory."

Lynn nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

The Kari before him was unlike the already renowned Audrey on the continent, unlike Grayson and Alan driven by powerful convictions and goals, or even Zod who relished in rare trades...

Each was different.

She had neither a personal life plan nor an ambition to strive for.

Like a lone sailing ship adrift on a vast ocean.

With this thought, Lynn suggested.

"If Miss Kari isn't bound by trading obligations to others, we could form a cooperative relationship."

Kari straightened up, looking curiously at Lynn.

"A cooperative relationship?"

"Master Lynn, aren't we already in a cooperative relationship?"

Lynn nodded, "Yes and no."

"Currently, you merely transport goods to my territory, and since I am in need of everything, I just accept everything you bring."

Kari pondered for a few seconds; it did seem to be the case.

Lynn continued, "But a cooperative relationship would mean that whatever I need, you would go and purchase."

"I'll offer you a price above the market rate."

"It doesn't matter what price or method you use."

"As long as you purchase and deliver what I need, the profit margin is yours."

Kari furrowed her brows slightly, asking with some confusion.

"Sir, what's the difference between these two methods?"

Lynn shook his head, "On the surface, not much difference, and it might even constrain your free trading due to my needs."

"However, if one day I become a Great Lord, or even the Emperor of the Empire."

"Then you would be the business partner of a Great Lord, or the Emperor of the Empire!"

Although Lynn's voice was calm.

It stirred a great tumult in Kari's heart.

Let's not even speak of becoming the Emperor of the Empire.

Even becoming a Great Lord, there are only three in the Karedi Empire.

Duke of Red Dragon, Duke Cangyu, and Duke Heiyao.

Even Marquis Ducas and others are nowhere near that rank.

The key point is, such Great Lords are always limited in number.

Becoming a Duke requires either hereditary succession or having made great contributions to the Empire to possibly be granted such a title!

For example, through military conquest expanding territories.

Or quelling unrest within the Empire, maintaining the Emperor's dominion.

Yet Master Lynn here calmly boasted such grand ambitions?

This is…

Crazier than ever!

But Kari did not sarcastically laugh or speak disrespectfully to Lynn.

Instead.

She felt that Lynn was merely sharing his inner thoughts and future plans with her in the most calm manner.

That feeling was like he would certainly achieve it one day!

Looking at Lynn's handsome and serene face, Kari's gaze couldn't help but flicker.

This was Master Lynn's ambition… no, his goal, wasn't it?

The likes of Grayson and his clan are merely within the family.

Whereas Master Lynn's aim is to become a Great Lord or — the Emperor of the Karedi Empire!

Upon hearing Lynn's words, she instantly sobered from her slight intoxication.

If one day Master Lynn truly becomes a Great Lord or the Emperor of the Empire.

She would have a vast territory, or even the Empire, as the market for her goods!

And even… by leveraging Master Lynn's power, she could resist the inhumane family rules of the Brown Clan!

With this thought.

Kari sat up straight, looking earnestly at Lynn.

She spoke with a firm voice, "Master Lynn, I am willing to become your business partner!"

"Following your orders, I will travel beyond the territory to purchase any items you need!"

Lynn nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, Lady Kari."

Kari remained earnest, looking at Lynn as she continued, "But Master Lynn, I have one condition… or rather a request."

Lynn considered and spoke, "Please go ahead."

Kari held nothing back, "If Master Lynn truly becomes a Great Lord, or the Emperor of the Empire."
