Alan continued speaking: "If Grayson hadn't met you, he wouldn't have had any chance to surpass me."
"If you didn't have the salt mine, Grayson would just be a grasshopper I toy with..."
"If you didn't value Grayson, he'd never hope to become the Patriarch of the Brown Clan!"
"But... because of your appearance, finding the open-pit salt mine, the future developments have become uncertain..."
Salt mines are all controlled by those Great Lords or the Nobility.
The production of fine salt and those who sell it have fixed candidates.
Because such a highly lucrative industry is monopolized.
In other words.
An ordinary merchant cannot possibly find a Lord to sell fine salt.
But Lynn here is an exception.
And was even discovered by Grayson by chance!
Lynn looked at Alan calmly, "So what do you plan to do?"
Listening to Lynn's words, Alan fell silent.
After a few seconds.
Alan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
