"What are you afraid of! The bigger the wind and waves, the higher the profit! Pirates and the like are not a problem, the imperial warships will escort us!" someone retorted disdainfully.
"Let's put aside the risks first. What about the capital? The money we all have combined is not enough to buy a shipload of goods. We can't leave half the cabin empty, right?"
