Chapter 81 (2)

"Was there such a story?"

"Anyway, that's how he became the current bishop. It's all about money."

As the conversation was about to end, Rockefeller tried to wrap up the conversation.

There was nothing more to discuss.

'I roughly understand what the moneylenders here are thinking.'

As Rockefeller was about to get up from his seat, he suddenly remembered something and asked one last question.

"Just in case."

"What do you mean?"

"About the guild leader story earlier. If there was a better candidate than Benjamin, would you be willing to choose that person?"

"Well... but is there anyone better than Benjamin? He's from the Lyon family, after all."

The shop owner gave a faint smile.

"Moreover, he has a special relationship with Bishop Verkis, so realistically, there is no better guild leader than Benjamin. I have complaints, but I endure it because of those reasons."

"What if?"

"Of course, I would choose. But there is no such person."

"I see. I've heard you well."

"Did you ask all the questions you were curious about?"

"Yes, I've heard you well. I hope we can meet again later."

While the shop owner, whose name was unknown, was thinking about it.

Rockefeller visited other shops and discussed the same topic with the owners.

After visiting several moneylenders and talking to various owners, Rockefeller stood on the street called Ghetto Nuovo, known for its moneylenders.

'I have a rough idea of how they feel.'

After talking to several moneylenders, Rockefeller's face was full of confidence.

'The people here also have a lot of implicit and explicit complaints about the guild leader. Complaints about his personality, behavior, and especially in business. But they can't do anything about it because he's from the Lyon family.'

Rockefeller, who was nodding to himself, thought as he got up from his seat.

'First of all, becoming a goldsmith is a priority.'

Rockefeller's top priority now was whether or not he could become a goldsmith.

'That must be done first to move on to the next step.'

The possibility of becoming a goldsmith?

'The royal family can't ignore the church's opinion, so it won't be too difficult to become a goldsmith.'

The real problem was what came next.

'How I speak at the guild meeting will be the most important thing. There will be no moneylenders who don't know about me, and if I am someone who is in their interests.'

The possibility of becoming a guild leader?

'I don't know yet.'
