Doctor Player Chapter 438
“He is famous for viciously collecting debts, especially when the other party cannot pay his debts, so there is even a story that taking out a loan from the Fallen Group is the same as making a deal with the devil.”
“... ... .”
Raymond broke into a cold sweat at the terrible words.
‘... ... Is that so?’
I didn’t know because I rented it at the usual lowest price.
‘Well, Healer Ron was famous for a similar notoriety.’
It was Raymond who suddenly realized Lady Rose’s fear.
“Well, in fact, it would be the same for Fallen Group or anywhere else to offer exorbitant interest rates. I mean, this is the situation.”
Raymond understood Catherine’s words.
The Crusader Empire is facing its worst war ever.
And it’s not just merchants who make money in times of war.
Bankers make money too.
why?
Since each country needs money, it borrows money at a huge special rate to make a profit.
‘Ugh. There are more reasons to win without fighting. If a real war breaks out, the imperial family will be in debt.’
In this case, the debt is not Raymond’s personal debt, but the imperial family’s treasury debt.
I hated it anyway.
“Still, I don’t think Gori can do anything about it. I can’t afford not to spend the money I need to spend.”
If the imperial family let go of their hands, there would be people who really starved to death.
So, this was a necessary expense.
It was time to decide on a loan, since even if it was a high-interest loan, he would not have to pay the interest anyway.
Raymond had a brilliant idea.
‘Wait, I think I can make money with this opportunity?’
It was an unexpected thought.
Are you using your current situation as an opportunity to make money?
‘I can borrow money from Lady Rose in my personal name and then lend the money to the imperial family!’
He can borrow money from Lady Rose at an unconventional low rate. I don’t know how long this favor will last, but for now it is.
‘Perhaps we can borrow money again. If there is any money needed for the people, he asked me to contact him at any time.’
After borrowing money from Lady Rose at the lowest interest rate, he would lend the money to the imperial family in his personal capacity.
In short, Raymond to Lady Rose and the imperial family to Raymond.
This is how you borrow money in a multi-level way.
‘Instead, when I lend to the imperial family, I get a reasonable interest rate! It’s not as good as the moneylenders, but enough to eat a lot!’
In other words, Raymond is going to play money in the middle!
On the subject of the emperor, against the imperial family!
It was a business that made a huge profit even if you only received 10% interest when lending to the imperial family.
You can get 10% of what you borrow!
‘Yes, I’m having a hard time, but I should have something left over too.’
Raymond salivated.
‘At this point, I’m going to have to borrow a lot of money. If you’re going to play with money, you have to scale it up to make a lot of money.’
If you lend 1 million pena and receive 10% interest, it is only 100,000 pena.
But what if you lend me ten million penas?
A whopping 1 million pennies left!
‘There is such an easy money in the world! This is why money makes money.’
Raymond seemed to faint at the thought of his genius.
Of course, it was possible for Lady Rose to do herself a favor, but it seemed like she would turn a blind eye to it at least once.
Anyway, that was it.
“An additional loan of 10 million pennies has been completed. VVVIP customers~♥♥♥♥♥”
The thing that made me sign these documents again.
“I’ll try to contact North Korea.”
Raymond was confused for a moment, unable to understand the meaning, then opened his eyes wide.
“If it’s North Korea... ... Are you referring to the Grand Duke of the North, Lord of the North of the Iron Empire?”
“yes that’s right.”
Northern Duke.
The Iron Empire is divided into five districts.
It is the central direct jurisdiction of the emperor and the Grand Duchy in the north, south, east and west.
Among them, the Northern Duke was the monarch who ruled the northern region.
‘Although he is a Grand Duke, his power surpasses that of the top 3!’
The national power of the Iron Empire overwhelms the Empire of the Crusaders.
If it weren’t for the demons of Jormund, the outer continent that periodically invades the Iron Empire, the continent would have been unified in the hands of the Iron Empire.
Therefore, even though it is a Grand Duchy, the Northern Province has a military power that surpasses each of the three powers.
‘Especially, the Northern Region borders the Kingdom of Gears.’
“Are you trying to keep the Gears Kingdom in check by moving the northern region?”
“Your Duke is a loyal subject of the royal family of Birmund, my family, so I have a deep relationship with you. Of course, it’s difficult to participate in a civil war within the real Crusader Empire. It will only be possible to check.”
Still, it was a huge thing.
The Gears Kingdom, which cared about the northern region, would have no choice but to share its strength.
Just saying thank you was like receiving a favor that couldn’t be repaid.
Raymond asked, dumbfounded.
“Why are you doing me such a favor?”
“Hmm. It’s not just a favor. Even if you look like this, I’m not doing anything to lose money. I do everything because it benefits me.”
“What exactly is the benefit?”
It was such a great help that I wanted to know what Rose was thinking.
Lady Rose pointed her finger at Raymond.
“My VVVIP customers.”
“yes?”
“You will be the true emperor. Putting the Crusade Empire, which is not as unstable as it is now, completely underfoot.”
Rose raised an eyebrow.
“For my most valuable customer to become such a true emperor. That’s my gain.”
* * *
Raymond becoming the true emperor.
That was exactly what Rose wanted.
‘When I truly become a proper emperor, Lady Rose... ... No, even the former emperor of Rosetail would benefit a lot.’
Rose’s true identity is the former emperor of the Iron Empire.
And she’s playing the lottery.
In that situation, Raymond becomes the emperor of the Crusader Empire? There will be enormous political gains.
‘Of course, it’s impossible for me to directly help the political situation within the Iron Empire.’
Rose didn’t want Raymond to do anything for her after he became emperor.
Just having a strong ally would be a great strength to her.
‘... ... The problem is that I’m planning on defeating the emperor somehow.’
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
If the emperor was defeated, Rose’s investment in Raymond would be in vain, but Raymond’s life was at stake, so he couldn’t be considerate of such a thing.
Is it possible to beat the emperor?
‘There is a rule for voluntary abdication of the throne. Is it possible.’
The only exception was the case of becoming the protagonist of a legend.
‘Because a legend has been handed down that the Crusader Empire must enshrine the savior who will come someday as the true emperor. As long as I don’t become the hero of that legend, I can abdicate.’
What would you do if you ever became a legendary hero?
‘No way.’
Raymond laughed.
Why is a legend a legend? It was a legend because it would never happen.
