Chapter 63
Chapter 63
For a moment, Rockefeller wanted to comment on the mans words but he decided against it.
What worth was there in arguing with someone who had already made up their mind?
He hated tiring himself out.
It was fun meeting the novels heroine but I dont think therell be any benefit to this conversation if we continue talking.
There were polite question from the older man, who wanted to appease the little girl,
So what shall we do?
The man felt that he had given enough of an explanation, but still, his position was one that meant if the little girl insisted on remaining in the shop to talk to Rockefeller, he couldnt stop her.
As the man waitied, the girl, who agonised for short moment, turned away with a disappointed look.
Did I? Did I see it wrong?
She was still a young girl. Even if her natural talent was the best of the best, her judgement could still be immature due to a lack of experience.
Which was why, she considered the possibility that she may have misjudged and took a heavy step towards her teacher, accepting his words.
I suppose it could be a misjudgement.
Would it be so easy for a young boy to get money from the owner of the land he resided in?
If you have the power, its possible enough, but you dont, then its an impossible task.
The appearance of Rockefeller from a moment ago, who said he would even take the Lords soul of he had to, was still unforgettable to her.
How dare a commoner show such confidence?
It was refreshing in its shock value.
We probably wont see each other again
Although she still had some hesitation, she couldnt do anything and followed the man on her way.
As the two left, Rockefeller sighed briefly.
Huu~
At the same time, Carter, who had been watching the situation closely from inside the shop, came out to talk to Rockefeller.
Was that the mage just now?
Perhaps for the people of this territory, a mage was an even more fearful existence than the Lord.
Which was why, Carter, who was hiding to save himself from the ire of the mage, appeared just as they left.
Yes, probably.
Its a relief they left. We almost got into trouble with mages.
Rockefeller couldnt help but smile over at Carter, who had a hand to his chest, breathing a dramatically relieved sigh.
Carter turned to ask Rockefeller,
They didnt notice anything about our work did they?
Dont worry, they just had a few doubts but soon went on their way.
Then thats a real relief. If those wizards noticed our plans and tipped off the Lord, we would be in serious trouble.
Rockefeller smiled brightly.
Why would we get in trouble. It would be the Lords fault, not ours, since the problem would occur if the Lord doesnt pay back his debts.
Thatstrue,
And dont worry too much. Our plan isnt something that can be executed straight away anyway. Enough time needs to pass first.
Rockefeller continued,
Also when the Lord owes a debt that he stops paying, the structure of this plan has been set up in a way where we benefit as if weve hit a jackpot at that time.
As Rockefeller said, their plans werent things that could come to fruition straight away.
They might even take years.
That was just how difficult it was for a weak person to collect debts against a powerful person.
The wizards who just came wont be able to notice our plans. Therell be no problems that will pop up right away and even if problems do pop up, theyll forget about this place by then. Since a lot of time will have passed from their visit.
Right? I thought so too,
So dont be so nervous like that. There are no issues to this whatsoever.
Haah, I have to make my heart bigger, but this chest is too small.
(T/N to have a big heart is to be resolute or calm in the face of adversity hes saying he would like to be calm too but his body doesn't seem to cooperate)
Carter pounded his chest with a fist in frustration as if to demonstrate, then asked another question,
Waiting was another problem for him.
By the way, I feel like Ill be at the end of my life at this rate for all the waiting were having to do. How long do we have to wait? It seems people are already turning to using the new gold promissory notes that we made,
Rockefeller had never once shown any impatience about the wait.
Because the ability to wait it out was the most important quality in someone who was seeking a big hit.
