Chapter 53 (2)

"He started repaying the monthly interest with promissory notes because he couldn't handle the interest."

"That's right. It happened just as I said, didn't it?"

Everything was going according to plan, but Carter couldn't shake one concern from his mind.

Their opponent was none other than the lord of this land.

Because of this, a concern naturally arose the lord's downfall.

"But here's the thing. With him abusing promissory notes like that, I'm worried if we'll ever get our money back properly."

"I've explained it already, haven't I? We don't have to worry too much about that."

"Can we really not worry?"

"Yes, because we're not the ones who will collect it."

Rockefeller emphasized in a voice loud enough for Joshua, who was present, to hear and continued.

"Rather than worrying about the lord's ability to repay his debt, our job is to lend him even more money so that he can never think of repaying it."

"Lend him even more?"

Rockefeller was a man capable of a crueler smile than expected.

"Yes, we have to lend him so much that he can't possibly repay it. And when the debt reaches its peak."Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Rockefeller's eyes were shimmering like those of a predatory animal.

"He'll be devoured by that debt."

"Devoured by debt?"

"Yes, haven't you ever seen it? A rich man becoming a beggar in an instant because of debt."

"I don't know. I haven't made anyone go that far."

"Then you'll see it this time. A person devoured by debt."

Rockefeller smiled faintly and spoke to Joshua, who was nearby.

"People aren't killed by swords."

"I don't know. But don't worry too much. When the time comes, the right person will naturally take their place."

It wasn't wrong, but Carter still had a worried expression.

It was good to burden the lord with a large debt and make money from it, but he didn't want the domain's situation to become extremely unstable.

"Alright. There's no use worrying about it. Either another lord will come and take over, or something."

At this point, Carter didn't have the slightest thought that he could become the lord.

Even if they had the land, without the support of a powerful faction, they couldn't sit in the lord's position.

'I'm definitely not the one.'

And what about that kid?

Carter didn't think so.

'No way. That kid may have a sharp mind, but no way. What lord? Especially at such a young age.'

On the other hand, Rockefeller had a different idea.

Rockefeller had said it himself.

If there's an empty seat, someone suitable will naturally take it.

'There's no need to give up a seat I can take to someone else.'

The problem to consider here was the support of the person who wanted to become the new lord.

Without the absolute support of the domain's people, they couldn't sit in the lord's position even if they wanted to.

'Everyone will support me. Because I'm going to be their savior.'

What exactly was that savior?

Only Rockefeller knew the answer to that.

'Everyone will have no choice but to acknowledge me. They have no other choice.'

"Don't worry. Everything will work out fine."
