After hearing the story, Luo De looked a bit surprised,
"Weren't you afraid of Linda the witch then?"
Makuru sighed, "Ah, my lord Baron, if Linda were the Devil, everyone in that territory would be dead."
"I admire your intelligence and diligence."
Luo De smiled and tossed a burlap to Makuru,
"Alright, I can accept them."
"But, you must stay and work for me."
"This..."
Makuru hesitated for a moment and then immediately knelt down on one knee,
"Thank you for your acknowledgment. Makuru Wheel is willing to serve you."
Makuru did not swear allegiance, which is normal for a merchant.
It's just important to do some things for himself.
Lawrence was initially kept through threats and inducements.
Luo De valued Makuru's abilities, but his identity still needed to be investigated.
"Take your piece of burlap and find the fat man at Truth Gate."
Luo De pointed to Lawrence and introduced, "The fat man with a frown, give it to him."
