Chapter 49

“That’s why I say that I hate that piece of paper. It’s not a gold coin or a certificate but rather just a piece of paper based on a person’s credit,” 

Carter continued his words, 

“And others don’t want to buy this promissory note either. Who can suddenly knock on the lord’s door and ask for gold coins? Of course, the owner of the promissory note has the natural right to do so, but the other party is the lord of the land. It’s hard work. So if things end up becoming bad, then we can end up being on the receiving end of his anger,” 

“Amazing! What wrong did we commit that they would direct their anger towards us?” 

“That’s what I’m saying! We’re the weak ones here, they can make a sound in front of the lord, but it’s not the same for us. The Church is already criticising us for playing with interest. If the public sentiment becomes bad here, I could go through a witch hunt. It’s so unfair. Who knows, they might even call you a devil child and take you to the square to be burned – we have to be careful,” 

Rockefeller, who took a moment to think, lightly clicked two fingers together, 

“I just thought of a good idea. Why don’t you do it like this?” 

“Did you have an idea?” 

“Lend me your ear for a moment,” 

Rockefeller whispered what he had been thinking into Carter’s ear, and after listening to Rockefeller for a moment, Carter began to nod his head. 

“Alright, that’s interesting. How did you even come up with something like that?” 

Rockefeller smiled lightly. 

‘That’s how currency is normally made,’ 

“Well, somehow,” Rockefeller shrugged. 

Money and Currency.

Rockefeller knew the exact difference between these two things that the average person might not be able to recognise. 

‘Money is usually a deception. And the world I’ll make will ultimately start with that deception,’

“If things work out like that, then the lord won’t have any choice either,” 

What Carter initially thought was an exciting and brilliant idea had him voicing some anxieties after a moment of thought and because of his timid personality. 

“But… won’t there be any problems with that? I don’t have a clue at all.”

“If there’s a problem, it’ll be a problem for the lord, not us. What did we do wrong anyway? We only used the promissory note that the lord signed for us,” Rockefeller answered with confidence, 

“We’re not the ones who signed the promissory note anyway. It was the lord. If there are any problems in the future, they should bring it up with the lord,” 

As he listened to Rockefeller’s calm and confident words, Carter felt more and more convinced. 

But he was timid by nature and lacked the guts to try out new things.

“I… don’t know… I’m still not sure if this is right,” 

Rockefeller was also very much aware of his timid personality. 

“But if you do as I suggested, you can make a lot of money. After all, if a reasonable customer with good credit borrows a lot of money, we can end up making a lot more money from the interest as well,” 

Seeing him still hesitating, Rockefeller told him the most memorable words of his previous life. 

“Carter-ajusshi, shall I tell you my family motto?” 

Of course, there was no such family motto in the Rothmedici family, but Rockefeller continued, 

“To gain something, you must gamble something else. So if you aren’t willing to place the bet and gamble, you can’t make a lot of money,” 

They were words that left an impact. (Lit Trans: The words had bones) 

Carter, who had been agonising for a while, reluctantly agreed with Rockefeller’s idea. 

However, he didn’t want to be the one to take the initiative. 

“Alright. Then let’s say you’re taking responsibility for this too – I don’t know anything about this matter,” 

Rockefeller wasn’t too upset because it was expected anyway.

Instead, he didn’t intend to take all the risks unilaterally. 

“Okay, let’s do it that way. Instead, promise me this,” 

“What are you talking about?” 

Rockefeller considered his options. 

What was the best deal he could get out of this situation? 

‘I can’t ask for too much – this is probably the best possible reality.’

“Give me half of the profits from this. Since I’ve only taken incentives so far – from now on, I want to receive half the profits,”

Can you find such a bold assistant anywhere else?

No matter how good you are at work, how long have you been working here that you’re asking for half the profits!

“That would be quite a lot of money. What is a kid like you asking for so much money for?” 

In response to the clumsy backlash, Rockefeller pulled on the calm, light smile that was something like his mascot now. 

“Have you forgotten? I may be young, but I’m the head of a family. That much money isn’t too much for me.”
