Chapter 103: Sweet Business Method II
“Please put it here. I have to leave soon, so please check the amount one more time.”
In Bern, one of the central cities of Schwyz, Yuria was conducting a final check on the funding situation for one of the trades while commanding the workers. The workers were carrying countless silver coins in wagons and boxes. The amount was 800 talets when converted, equivalent to 8 million silver coins.
‘I feel it every time, but I think I’ve really succeeded. Just two years ago, my hands were shaking at 100 silver coins... but now I can’t believe I’m managing this amount of money...’ Yuria thought to herself.
Although these were the funds to be used by the Beden Merchant Company in their current trade, Yuria felt quite excited to be involved in managing such an unimaginable amount of funds. From behind her, the voice of the person supervising the trade schedule could be heard.
“Are you ready?”
“Ah, yes Ms. Isolda. 800 talets in cash, all prepared in silver.”
“Okay, then we have to start soon... but before that. Yuria, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Yes? A favor?”
Isolda’s unexpected words made Yuria feel suspicious. She asked, and Isolda secretly pointed to the people standing behind her. Standing there were a group of strangers and Bahamut’s direct escort, Ophelia.
And...
“Wait, aren’t you...?”
“Nice to meet you, Yuria. Do you remember me?” A familiar boy greeted her with a smile.
Yuria nodded, “Yes, I remember. You’re the boy I saw in the Hangurian royal castle. Hmmm, Robben...Roben Schurt, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. You haven’t forgotten!”
Robben expressed unfiltered joy at Yuria’s words.
Yuria smiled and asked him, “Nice to see you again, but what are you doing here? This isn’t a place for a Hangurian aristocratic boy to come to play...”
“That’s...”
With those words, Robben looked at Isolda.
Isolda then explained to Yuria with a calm expression.
“It is a kind of field trip. Robben’s father is one of our main investors, so he was told to take a look at our fund management situation and participate in this journey.”
“Ah, I see.”
As the Beden Merchant Company was a huge merchant corporation, it was natural to receive investments from high-ranking people from various countries. Yuria accepted the situation without much doubt. Seeing this, Isolda, Ophelia, and Robben—no, the knights in charge of escorting the Hangurian prince Robert—let out a sigh of relief.
‘Fortunately, it seems like they just trust us.’
‘Honestly, I haven’t made many friends my age, but this is better than I imagined.’
Since she entered the upper ranks of Beden, Yuria had mostly been around adults. Although everyone was nice to her, she didn’t have many opportunities to meet her peers. In that sense, meeting Robben felt like a gift.
Yuria got a little excited and started telling Robben about Lugano.
“Lugano is very rural, but one mine is really great. It’s impossible to go directly into the tunnel, but the scale alone is jaw-dropping.”
“How big is it?”
“Umm... it’s as big as the Hangurian Royal Palace I saw before.”
“That big?”
“In fact, it’s one of the largest iron mines on the continent, and Lugano has several such places. It was originally owned by some evil nun, but about a year ago, our Beden Merchant Company took over completely. The process of Mr. Bahamut and Ms. Isolda obtaining this was really amazing.”
“How did they do it?”
“Mr. Bahamut prepared a fake gold mine knowing that the nun was scamming the workers and preying on innocent people...”
Yuria told the story of how the Beden Merchant Company took over the Lugano area.
As he listened, Prince Robert’s eyes shone with growing curiosity.

Whenever the flow of the world changes, there are two types of people: those who understand and adapt smoothly, and those who are left behind.
In the hearts of those left behind, a deep resentment arises—a resentment that is devastating for those who think they have nothing to lose.
