"Then, there's no need for so much. 20 million Bailey will do. It's useless for me to have so much money.”
Richard smiled. He was actually a very easy person to get along with. As long as you treated him sincerely, he would reciprocate.
20 million Berries was the bottom line. After all, to develop Black Rose Castle, it was impossible to create an organic market without money.
After years of development, the market business on Krajica Island had entered the era of currency.
However, there were not many people, resulting in only about 3,000 residents of the villages and towns who knew how to consume and produce.
In short, he was very careful. As the lord, Richard needed enough money and wealth to control everything.
"Well, thanks for the trouble, Richard,"
Zefa's eyes were full of apology. He had indeed been wronged.
However, it was laughable for the headquarters to suddenly implement such a law. If they changed their orders too quickly, they would lose trust.
"No, don't think so much. I'll go and sell the things first.”
"Then I'll see you in the tavern later. It's still that tavern.”
Zefa smiled.
Richard nodded.
He asked Porusalino to take care of the ship and brought Li Qing and the others to Area 40. There were sightseeing spots and some specialty shops there. Although they were called specialty products, they were actually small merchandise markets.
Richard was keen to do such things, but of course, for someone of his status, even if he did, he would only talk business.
Li Qing and the others were the ones doing the hard work.
On the road, the passing caravans, residents, and pedestrians all cast curious glances at Mihawk. After all, sword heroes like this were rare nowadays.
"He's carrying a precious black saber.”
An expert would know how precious the knife on Mihawk's back was at a glance.
"This blade is probably worth more than 80 million Berri.”
" No, no, no." A middle-aged man with short silver hair rubbed his chin." I think the workmanship is great. Black blade, heavy flower D. If it has legendary value, the final price might be around 200 million Berri."”
Mihawk didn't get tired of hearing these words, and it also made him feel annoyed since it was his first time in a big place like Chambord.
Finally, after he could no longer bear the grievance, he quickly walked up to Richard and said, somewhat unconvinced,"Brother! Why would you tolerate their actions? Aren't they going back on their words?!”
Richard thought for a moment, then smiled." Ah, I just let it go, and you still can't let it go.”
Mihawk said angrily,""They went back on their word, so there's no need for us to give them the person. If we can't fulfill the bounty, who would be willing to capture pirates with higher bounties?”
Richard thought about it. Well, this was actually a way to save money, but the higher-ups of the navy probably didn't expect that the era of the great pirates would soon arrive.
At that time, pirates, big and small, would rush to the sea in the hundreds every day. Within a year, the number of pirates would increase by tens of thousands or even more.
If they could foresee the future, they would never make such a choice now.
Moreover, they would cry and beg him to capture a few more pirates to reach some kind of agreement with them.
"Mihawk."
Richard suddenly laughed." There's no need to worry about such things. Logically speaking, if they don't give it to us, they'll lose a lot of credibility. In the end, they'll be the ones who get themselves into trouble. We'll just lose some money in reserve. It's nothing."
After all, the currency was set by the world government. No matter how many Berris there were, if the world government collapsed one day, they would be useless.
" In terms of gains, not only did we get 20 million Berri, but we also made a Vice Admiral and a General feel guilty. Guilt represents a favor, and they will naturally help me in the future.”
"Is that so…"
Hearing this, Mihawk's anger subsided by half. He thought of his brother, who had not left the Sikeali Kingdom many times, but had so many friends who admired each other on the sea...
Oh, that was indeed the case.
Brother was indeed the strongest man on the sea.
Looking at Richard's back, Mihawk suddenly felt that he had more to learn.
……
In the market, the merchants would set their own prices to buy what they needed for the season. The fruits and grains that Richard had brought were meant to be sold in the season, so he could sell them.
However, he didn't have the time to do so, so it was easier to do business with the Chamber of Commerce.
Because he was a regular customer, Richard sold it for 210,000 Berri.
Then, he asked Li Qing to spend 100,000 Berries to buy some firewood, charcoal, meat, and breeding pigs.
After making the arrangements, he brought Mihawk to Area 13.
"Brother, isn't District 13 an illegal place?”
"Yeah," said Richard, smiling.
"Then, will we be attacked if we come here?”
Richard shook his head. Although the 14-year-old Mihawk had matured, his thoughts did not seem to match his body size.
"No, with me around, they won't dare to attack.”
