Chapter 202 - Extremely Rich

Rex smiled because of her tiny steps. Nevertheless, he followed her.

"This way."

"This is the entrance. You need to pay the entrance fee to them only then would they allow you to enter.", she said.

Rex smiled and looked at the ones who were standing to collect the fee near the entrance.

"So does that mean I have to pay for you as well?", Rex asked.

The girl hesitated and then nodded her head while closing her eyes tightly. She thought that Rex would immediately return from there and wouldn't hire her.

However, to her surprise, Rex paid the fee for both of them which was just 2 copper coins per person.

'Hmm, it's an interesting system…'

'If there are at least a thousand people visiting to look at the palace, then they would earn 2000 copper coins.'

'Not only that, the tourists would pay visiting tax and staying tax in the kingdom.'

'No wonder this kingdom is rich. If we had such systems then we could make a lot more money since the number of people that visit us are at least ten times more than this kingdom.', Rex sighed.

The girl was super happy because Rex paid the fee and then started to guide him again.

"Route that leads to the castle.", she said.

Indeed, they weren't at the palace yet. It was just the entrance.

Rex walked just behind her slowly as she showed the garden where king Dan and his family used to sit and enjoy the morning sun.

She then showed the various fountains that were built. All of them were spectacular but the real eye stealer was the palace which was yet to be seen.

She then said, "Mister, now we will be entering the palace, you have to pay the fee yet again."

"Huh? But didn't we pay earlier?", Rex asked.

"Yes, you did but that fee was only to look at the garden and this pathway."

"It is to look the palace from a closer view but you cannot enter with that.", she said.

'Wow, the one who gave such ideas must be a genius.'

'I mean, after a person has entered inside, they would feel that it is a shame to not enter the palace after paying some already.'

'So without much hesitation, they would go and pay the next amount as well.'

'I'm sure, at least 90% of the tourist end up entering the palace because of this.', he thought all this while standing still for a second.

As he came out of his imagination, the girl was standing right in front of him while calling, "Mister…"

Rex could see her legs trembling. The clothes that she wore were too dirty and they hardly covered any region below her knees.

He could clearly see some bruises on her legs and hands but refrained from asking because he wanted to gain her trust first.

He said, "Okay, I'll pay."

Right after that, he walked ahead towards the next group of people who were receiving the fees.

The price was mentioned as five copper coins for a visit of 1 hour. Without hesitation, Rex pulled out 10 copper coins.

'As if my money would ever decrease.', he said this while recalling the fact that his balance was infinite.

The girl's eyes sparkled all of a sudden. It was as if she was quite eager to enter the palace for some reason.

But as Rex stretched his hand forward to pay the ten copper coins, the ones who were collected the fee refused from taking it.

Two men were standing and both of them were bald. One of them was fat and short-statured while the other was tall with a well-built body.

The fat one said, "You need to pay 1 gold coin and five copper coins if you want to enter with her?"

He said this while looking at the girl and smirking.

The smile on the girl's face disappeared the moment he said this.

Moreover, she bent her head as if she was staring at the ground. Her legs, which hadn't stopped trembling since earlier, were now shaking vigorously.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it mentioned five copper coins per person?", Rex asked.

"That's true, but if you want to enter with this girl, then you have to pay 1 gold coin extra.", the fat man said.

"That ain't fair." when Rex said this, the one with a well-built body moved forward while flexing his arm muscles.

"If you don't want to die, don't argue.", he said.

'I want to turn him into a piece of shit.'

He then chuckled, 'Well, I can't necessarily turn a complete shit into just a piece.'

For some reason, that seemed funny to him. After the man saw him smile, he walked forward in order to frighten him.

"Did you just laugh at me?"

'So what if I did?' – was what Rex wanted to say but he didn't.

There were two reasons why he controlled his anger and didn't trash the man.

One – a child was present beside him. He couldn't possibly cause a bloody mess in front of her.

Two – he didn't come here to stir troubles. And since he had infinite money, he just thought about an easy solution.

"Ah, I just smiled because I was ready to pay.", he said.

When those words left his mouth, all three of them were surprised. Yes, the little girl, the well built and the fat man – all three of them had their jaws dropped.

"A-"

"Ahem, you must be rich.", the fat man said while making a gesture behind his back indicating the well-built one to retreat.

Rex replied, "Extremely rich. Do you have a problem?"

This had now turned into a matter of flexing. Yes, Rex returned flex with a flex.

While the man flexed his muscles, Rex flexed the immense wealth that was in his possession.

After hearing this and seeing Rex pay 1 gold coin and 5 copper coins, the girl teared up.

Her legs gave up and she was on the ground while saying just one thing – "Thank you, mister."
