With those words, Isabella quietly left the store with Jason.

She knew from the beginning that she couldn't get the answer she wanted in this place, but she didn't force the answer from Rockefeller. She believed that time would tell the answer instead of his words.

As she left, she suddenly thought.

Would he still look the same when she had the chance to return here in the future?

Or would he have completely changed?

'I'm curious.'

Rockefeller watched Isabella leave quietly, different from before, and narrowed his eyes for a moment.

'Nightlord...'

Meeting the heroine of the novel was more interesting than he thought, but for some reason, Rockefeller couldn't shake the feeling that this wouldn't be the last time he met the characters from the novel.

There was no force that didn't involve money.

And if he was at the center of it all, wouldn't he have the opportunity to meet others besides the Nightlord?

'I've seen that woman, so I'll probably see the Blade Queen and Trinity someday.'

At that moment, another assistant approached Rockefeller.

It was Joshua, Rockefeller's younger brother, who had been helping Carter inside the store, working on the gold coins.

Joshua had joined Rockefeller and started learning from Carter Banco, and he was in the process of learning gold coin engraving techniques to become a goldsmith in the future.

"Rockefeller hyung, who was that just now? A customer?"

Rockefeller smiled faintly at Joshua.

"That's right. A very rare and precious customer."

"Who is it?"

"A magician."Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

"Really? A magician was just here?"

"Yes, a magician."

Joshua hurriedly ran outside the store to search for the two magicians who had just left. He looked around the streets.

Carter finished speaking and paused for a moment before letting out a regretful remark.

"I should have been involved in that too. If I knew that they would borrow money for that reason, I would have joined in. What I have left is money..."

"It would have been nice if that happened. But I wasn't sure about that either. It's something I can fail alone, so there's no reason to drag you into it and fail together, right?"

"Still, though. Have you ever failed at anything? Next time something like that happens, don't just do it yourself, let me in on it too. Don't let only you benefit."

At that, Rockefeller chuckled.

"Carter, it's not just me who benefited, is it? I did it with the church."

"But the lord still doesn't know about it, right?"

"He knows. I happened to meet him before. When I told him that I lent money to the church without interest, he was quite surprised."

Lending something without interest.

It was a difficult concept for Carter.

"What's the difference between lending money without interest and just giving it away?"

"You can't see it like that. If I hadn't lent money like that, the church wouldn't have been able to monopolize the beer-related business."

"That's true, but..."

"That's why I did it alone. If I fail, I fail alone. But I had some fun with it. I saw it on a larger scale."

To make a lot of money, Rockefeller had two main methods.

One was business.

The other was sitting back and collecting passive income.

"Hmm... I guess you do need some guts to make money. It seems like I don't have that kind of guts."

"It's not necessarily like that. Bringing me in was an adventure for you, wasn't it?"

"Well, that's true."

Carter, who unknowingly nodded his head, suddenly thought of the lord and asked Rockefeller.

"By the way, is the loan to the lord going as you said?"

A year had already passed since Rockefeller and his associates lent a large sum of money to the local lord.

During that time, the lord, burdened by debt, began to repay the interest with worthless promissory notes instead of gold coins, just as Rockefeller had predicted.

He began to deceive the two by keeping the "real money" collected from the domain's taxes and repaying them with "fake money" created with his own credit.
