Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2404

As the Great Elder, Blake naturally understood the other party's intentions.

The conditions put forth by the other party also greatly intrigued him.

If Cathay could take control of the islands from Emsgate, they wouldn't need much. Just twenty islands would suffice to double Cathay's aquatic production.

Moreover, these islands held valuable mineral resources and unique medicinal herbs that could only be found there.

It was a treasure trove of abundant resources.

Although they mentioned a hundred-year development right, according to international law, after a hundred years, the land would belong to that owner.

So, the development rights were just a title. The actual ownership was the key.

However, opportunities and risks went hand in hand.

The value of the sea routes in the Endless Sea was immeasurable and couldn't be quantified by numbers alone.

Just the discovery of a few new routes demonstrated this.

Due to its high danger, the exploration teams had only ventured into the outskirts of the treacherous Endless Sea.

Yet, they had encountered vast treasures along the way.

Even losing a single route would be a tremendous blow to Cathay.

After brief contemplation, Blake glanced at the other elders in the spectator seats.

Originally, he wanted to seek their opinions, but they had all been captivated by the prospect of acquiring a hundred-mile maritime territory.

When they met his gaze, they all nodded enthusiastically.

Admittedly, it was not entirely their fault.

Although the islands were small, they were still territory!

The pursuit of expanding their land and the glory that came with it was deeply ingrained in the spirit of the Cathay nation.

In the current world landscape, opportunities like this were exceedingly rare.

Even Blake couldn't resist their allure.

Observing the contestants' confidence and eagerness, Blake made up his mind and asked, "Mr. Kaur, are you being serious?"

Upon hearing this question, the Great Octavian smiled cunningly.

He had succeeded.
