Richard completed the transaction.
Bloodhoof City held a grand welcoming banquet for Richard.
At the banquet, the smiles on the faces of the Bloodhoof City higher-ups never disappeared.
In the end, the pile of junk in the warehouse and the mithril ore sold three million food units at an overstated price.
Three million units!
This was outrightly a massive fortune to the underground world in dire need of food.
It was a true lifesaver.
The severely depleted warehouse instantly filled up.
Although it couldn't completely solve Bloodhoof City's food shortage problem, it had already earned them an extra month of buffer time.
More importantly...
The success of this transaction meant they had established a cooperative relationship with this powerful great lord on the surface.
They could continue the transaction as long as both sides could maintain this friendly relationship.
