Ethan was genuinely pleased that Ron had agreed.
Of course, in the future, he could simply try to pull a merchant character from the gacha tickets and create his own chamber of commerce.
But how long would that take?
He already had a solid relationship of trust with Ron and was, little by little, building one of dependence as well.
The merchant's chamber of commerce would have Goldenveil's products as the foundation of its portfolio. Without Goldenveil, Ron would never amount to anything.
Making Ron a citizen of the territory and raising his loyalty to the maximum was also one of Ethan's major goals for the future of the local economy.
Ultimately, he would help Ron establish the largest chamber of commerce in the region.
In return, the merchant would not only become dependent on the goods only Goldenveil produced. He would also live there and pay taxes directly to the territory.
