Chapter 479: Chapter 475: Insatiable Desires Chapter 479: Chapter 475: Insatiable Desires “Aren’t you being excessive?” Watching the kilometer-long floating ship tear through space and depart, Mureya looked at the green-haired beauty in front of him who was self-satisfiedly reporting the transaction details to him.

“Yes, you’re too greedy. Who will dare to trade with His Majesty in the future if you act like this?” Mia, a golden-haired beauty standing behind Mureya, stared at the green dragon before her with a face full of indignation, her cheeks puffing up as if she were a squirrel with its mouth stuffed full of food.

“Did I do something wrong by striving to get the most benefits for His Majesty? Miss Mia.” Fiona, kneeling on the ground, straightened her waist slightly, revealing her lush and tempting curves, and looked at the Dragonkin girl behind Mureya with a playful smile.

To Mia, this was a provocation against her position. Mureya entrusted such a significant transaction to this green dragon, not her, who was serving him closely, even though the real reason was because Mia didn’t understand the trading goods as well as Fiona did.

“But you were too unsightly. They came with fifty-seven ships, but you ended up keeping fifty-six floating ships along with all goods, leaving all the members of the Deep Blue Commerce Association to return on one ship.”

Mia angrily accused Fiona, “If this spreads on the main continent, someone might misunderstand and say His Majesty is greedy. What’s His Majesty gonna do about it then?”

“I didn’t force them to do business with us.” Fiona revealed a look of indifference, “All transactions were conducted voluntarily; many of the prices were brought up by them, I didn’t rob them blindly.”

“Enough, Mia.” Seeing that his busty female servant seemed to want to argue, Mureya intervened, “This has nothing to do with Fiona. No matter who was in charge of this transaction, the outcome wouldn’t be much different. These guys were just eager to give me money. Any act can be a reason for them to give money.”

“For example, you, Fiona. You gained a lot from this trade, didn’t you?” Mureya looked at the green dragon in front of him, his gaze indifferent. As for the conduct of the Five Colored Dragons, his experience from raising more than a hundred dragons made him understand it well.

“His Majesty, everything I got was forced onto me by that human merchant.” Under Mureya’s gaze, Fiona smiled awkwardly before taking a pile of extraordinary, radiant jewelry out of her body.

“You only think of getting benefits for yourself while working for Master Mureya.” Mia yelled while Fiona was still taking out the jewelry. She considered the Five Colored Dragons nothing but useless and untrustworthy.

Having these creatures handle high-value commercial transactions was as absurd as asking a rat to guard a granary.

“I didn’t actively ask for these.” Fiona explained softly with a somewhat weak tone. In the meantime, she occasionally glanced at Mureya, as if she was very much afraid that Mureya would take issue with her.

After this transaction, Fiona once again realized the power of Mureya’s identity and background, which solidified her determination to follow him. She wasn’t an idiot, why wouldn’t she see that these humans were only trying to find ways to give money to Mureya?

During the hundreds of years she used to follow Mother Emerald Isra, she never encountered such a good thing, she hadn’t even heard of it before.

“Hmm, take a few that you like, and then confiscate the rest.” Regarding Fiona’s acceptance of bribes from the merchant, Mureya didn’t particularly mind. As long as she didn’t betray him, everything was up for discussion. To gain some benefits was very normal; he couldn’t expect a Five Colored Dragon to be honest and upright, it was impossible.

Why did giants and the Five Colored Dragons follow him? Wasn’t it because they thought that their future would be bright if they followed him? Intelligent creatures only sought to possess more wealth and beauty.

Upon hearing Mureya’s words, Fiona’s face, which had been sad from turning over all of the bribes she received, lit up with joy. Under Mureya’s emotionless gaze, she selected nine items of jewelry with the highest value from the pile and put them aside.

“By the way, Prince Mureya, that human who’s called Andrew seems to be very interested in the Zor Elves on our island. He wanted to ask if we have plans to sell elves.”

“We don’t do slave trading, tell him that directly.” Without hesitation, Mureya rejected Fiona’s request. He despised treating lives as commodities, even though he knew that slaves were rampant in the world of Erathia, almost everywhere.

Mureya couldn’t eradicate the existence of slaves, he didn’t have the power to change the world, but he could keep himself clean.

“Alright.” Hearing Mureya’s refusal to accept her tempting proposal, Fiona didn’t feel particularly sorry, it only meant that she would miss the opportunity of an extra reason for Andrew to give her money, nothing serious.

“In this transaction, how many cubic meters of elemental crystals did we gain?” Mureya asked straightforwardly.

“His Majesty, I need some time to evaluate. I won’t be able to give a result in the short term.”

“What do you mean?” Mureya’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“His Majesty, Andrew did not pay half a cubic meter of elemental crystals; he substituted all the debts with the building materials needed to construct the floating city. It seems he knows we need them.”

“Hmm.” Mureya wasn’t surprised about this, “But what did you mean by evaluation.”

“The visible trade this time is estimated to be worth around a hundred and three cubic meters of elemental crystals. But the goods they used to offset the debt far exceed this price, the value is at least more than two million cubic meters, not including the floating ships they left to us.”

“What was their reason for leaving the floating ships?”

“They were in a hurry, short-handed, didn’t have time to unload the goods, so they just left them to us.”

…

“Master Mureya, given the current progress of your Cloud Island’s renovation, I would suggest that you stop here, do not advance any further. With a hundred and thirty-two unfinished floating cities, even Deities would be tempted.”

“How far am I from the Senapus Subcontinent right now?” Standing at the highest point of Cloud Island, looking as far as he could, Mureya still couldn’t see any trace of the coastline, just water everywhere.

“No more than a hundred kilometers.” Cassio’s gentle voice rang out, “If you want to enter the Senapus Continent, I suggest you leave Cloud Island from here and disguise yourself as a Demon Warlock to enter Evil God’s Paradise.”

“Then send the demons I need over to me, I need to start getting ready.”

“As you wish!”
