Chapter 3046: Nobles and Merchants (4)

Since Shopkeeper Wanyan has had this kind of incident happen to her, she probably won't be able to work in the short term.

There's no need for Zhao Chi to keep his money with the Ruby Merchants Guild either.

After all, it's quite a sizable sum.

Better withdraw it first.

Zhao Chi isn't short on money now, but there's no point in leaving it sitting with someone else for nothing.

If he needs to place orders with them later, he can sign a new contract then.

That's all fine.

Zhao Chi: 【Alright, Minister Song, then refund the remaining gold coins to me for now.】

Song Ji: 【Understood, but I'll need you to wait a moment. The amount is too large, so I'll have to go through the proper procedures at the guild on my end.】

Zhao Chi: 【You're the minister, and you still need procedures?】

Song Ji: 【Mr. Zhao, you must be joking. The Ruby Merchants Guild isn't mine — I'm only the person in charge of our Snowfield City branch. My authority isn't so great that I can call all the shots. The proper procedures still have to be followed. But rest assured, the speed will definitely be very fast.】

Zhao Chi: 【What about the things the werewolves confiscated — will those be returned?】

Song Ji: 【They definitely won't return them willingly. If the quantity were small, we could let it go, but this time the supplies they seized are worth too much, so we absolutely have to keep negotiating. But it's also difficult, because Wanyan and the others were indeed working for you — that is, working for the World-Breaking Army. They'll definitely cling to that excuse and not let go.】

Zhao Chi: 【Will there be small-scale clashes between you and the werewolves?】

Song Ji: 【That won't happen. The werewolves capturing two people or confiscating some supplies all falls within the normal range of losses.】
