"Are these the latest reports of the family business? How much was the family's annual income now?”Ronan finished reading the last document on the table and looked at the old butler.
He had been very busy these days. Other than the necessary recuperation, he devoted himself to understanding this world, and the family business was also an important part. Fortunately, the original owner of this body was not an idiot. He carefully managed the family assets in an orderly manner, which saved Ronan a lot of trouble.
"Yes, Young Master. The family's business is not bad at the moment. With the care of Old Master's old friends in the World Government, we have received a large order for the lead ore! In addition, the value of the processed lead products had increased by 13% compared to last year, and the transaction volume had also increased greatly. The annual net profit had already reached about 100 million Bailey.”Speaking of this, the old butler's expression was obviously very relaxed.
The family's lead industry had been expanding year after year. Coupled with the young master's hard work, it was indeed a comforting news for this old man who was dedicated to serving the family. However, it was clear that Ronan was more concerned about the hidden danger than the old butler.
" Even the nobles don't know about the dangers of amber lead. This secrecy is really good." Ronan's heart was heavy. As the ruling class, nobles often had connections all over the world, but there was no news from the nobles of the entire kingdom. It was obvious that the World Government had really given a gag order.
Based on the current situation, the royal family that ruled White Town had never truly treated these nobles as their own people. They had to hide things that concerned their lives. It seemed that these nobles were definitely the ones who were immediately abandoned when the matter was exposed.
"Moreover, the abnormal growth of the lead industry is obviously driven by someone behind the scenes. Could it be that the government has already calculated the time of the outbreak of lead disease? Had they already begun to speed up the exploitation of the Town of White? Or was it just a bait thrown by the government to attract the greedy?”Based on the little information in the manga, Ronan really couldn't make a judgment.
The rise of the platinum lead industry brought rapid development and unparalleled wealth to the country, but the platinum lead disease that followed brought the country a hopeless future.
Giving people wealth and mercilessly taking away hope. This desperate reality made Ronan, who was a transmigrator, feel his heart palpitate. What made him even more disappointed was the indifference of those in power to life hidden behind all this!
World Government, Royal Family. The two secretly colluded to form a stable industrial chain around the lead industry, concealing the dangers of lead and making money from it. The people of White Town were like tools, used and then casually abandoned. Their behavior was thousands of times worse than the pirates who burned, killed, and robbed!
"Arrange the liquid funds that the family can use. I want to use them. Remember, it's all of them." Ronan said in a low voice that shocked the butler.
"All the liquid funds? But, Young Master, if that's the case…"
"No buts. As long as it doesn't affect the operation of the family business, we'll transfer as much as we have!”Ronan said sternly.
The butler was stunned for a moment and nodded silently. Only Ronan could be the head of the family. Even if he was the butler, he could not stop the master when he had made up his mind to do something.
Ronan had no intention of explaining anything to the butler. Every minute and second was precious. Ever since he confirmed that he was in White Town and had a high chance of suffering from platinum lead disease, Ronan had been thinking of a solution.
So far, he could only think of two solutions.
Firstly, he could snatch the fruits of the surgery from the navy and Doflemingo. This method had been verified by the plot and could be said to be very safe. However, the risk was too great, so he did not consider it for the time being.
Secondly, he had to obtain some kind of demonic fruit that could also treat platinum lead disease. This method was much simpler than the first method. After recalling the plot of One Piece, Ronan locked onto his target-the Rust Fruit.
Ronan's platinum-lead disease was basically lead poisoning. Lead was a metal, so the Rust Fruit could easily turn lead, which was difficult to expel from the body, into a compound and expel it, thus obtaining a healing effect.
All in all, this was double insurance. Ronan planned to look for the Rust Fruit first, and if he couldn't find it, he would then go after the Surgery Fruit. The worst case scenario was that both methods had failed. After Luo obtained the fruit of the surgery, Ronan, who was also a resident of White Town, would not be rejected by Luo if he sought treatment from him.
What Ronan was doing now was to collect funds and then find the Rust Fruit he wanted through certain channels.
As for how to find the Rust Fruit, Ronan didn't plan to send someone to find it himself. That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. He only needed to send someone to keep an eye on the navy officer in the original novel, the navy soldier who trained under the Zefa method, Huon.
" Looks like I'm destined to part ways with the World Government." Ronan was silent. This was not his intention. He was a man who yearned for justice, but at the same time, he knew the dark side of justice. The World Government would never allow an unstable factor like him from White Town to join the navy.
Thus, Ronan could only choose to become a pirate. He abandoned his status as a noble and became a pirate who pursued freedom.
"Free pirates?" Ronan laughed self-deprecatingly." I guess so."
Shaking his head to get rid of the negative thoughts, Ronan quickly planned his training plan for the next few years. In this world where strength was respected, strength was the most important thing for Ronan to survive under the pursuit of the World Government. Therefore, he had to seize every moment and become a powerhouse that the World Government feared before White Town was destroyed.
"Grasp your own destiny. In this life, you will definitely not live a mediocre life! Leave my mark in this world!”
"My mark, the mark of Lannister Ronan!”
