The events that followed unfolded just as Lin Kong had expected.
Soon, lords began arriving after hearing the news. After confirming the Tree-men's abilities with Li Hua, they sought out Lin Kong, wanting to rent them.
The two sides haggled for a bit, and the final deal was that a lord would rent four Tree-men and pay 25% of their treasure chest earnings upon returning them.
Since the two parties had no binding contract to guarantee the deal, they could only ask the middleman, Li Hua, to act as a guarantor. For this service, each side would give Li Hua 5% of their treasure chest earnings as an intermediary and guarantor fee.
They waited a short while, and a squad of Death Devourers emerged from the Goblin Forest to the west.
The lord then left with the four Death Devourers.
After that, more than ten other lords arrived one after another, all making deals based on the same terms.
After the deals were done, Lin Kong also asked the lords to help spread the word.
