Chapter 140 (2)

Chapter 140 (2)

"The happy world you're hoping for - I can assure you that such a world will never exist. Someone becomes a king, someone becomes a noble wielding power under them, and the rest who don't belong become excellent slaves for them. This story has never changed since the beginning of world history and will remain the same forever. And the most effective currency system for such a society is the Goblin Dollar I devised. It's a revolutionary currency system that can legally plunder their wealth."

Rockefeller asked the 2nd Prince, who had a bad expression.

"You're not denying everything I've said, are you?"

"No, I'm not."

"Your Majesty, the world is cruel. I don't understand why someone like you, who knows this well enough, is trying to reject the Goblin Dollar system, which has nothing but advantages."

Then someone refuted that statement.

It was Sylvia, who had been quietly listening to Rockefeller's words.

"I trust your intentions to work with us, but I can't trust you, who only has a bright smile. Rather, I'm afraid of you. I have no idea what might happen later if I give such privileges so easily."

For Rockefeller, it was more comfortable for her to speak honestly like that.

'Yes, you should have said that. What kind of prince has no sense of privilege? If it had been the 1st Prince I met before, there would have been no problem.'

"So, you don't trust me?"

The 2nd Prince also spoke uncomfortably.

"The right to control currency belongs only to the royal family. It's not something a single family can have."

"So isn't that why I'm asking for this? Or do you think I'm pushing for you, who has no chance of winning?"

Rockefeller's gaze lingered on Sylvia.

"As someone said, I'm a person with only a bright smile."

No matter how much they thought about it, both the 2nd Prince and Sylvia had the same thoughts.

They could agree with what Rockefeller said, but they couldn't trust the person Rockefeller.

Moreover, Sylvia had told the 2nd Prince several times that he was a much scarier person than he looked.

That's why, after thinking it over several times, the 2nd Prince decided that he couldn't accept Rockefeller's request and shook his head.

"The right to control the empire's currency is... a difficult request to grant. Such a thing will never happen."

Rockefeller showed no signs of backing down.

"Then Your Highness won't be able to ask for my help either. Without such a price, why would I take on such great risks to help you?"

"But..."

"I said it's fine."

What was she saying was fine?

Rockefeller couldn't grasp the situation at all.

'What is it? What condition is she talking about?'

"What's the condition? I'm just a man with nothing but money."

Rockefeller had no idea what condition she was proposing.

After a moment of hesitation, Sylvia opened her mouth with difficulty.

"You said earlier that in order to build trust between us, your sister must marry Prince Christian, right?"

"Yes, that's certain. A verbal promise can easily be changed later, can't it?"

"Then we have no choice but to ask this condition of you as well. Not only must your sister marry Prince Christian, but you must also marry someone from our family."

It turned out that the condition was about Rockefeller's own marriage for the sake of building trust between them.

'Marry someone from the Ismail family?'

Fortunately for Rockefeller, this wasn't a difficult condition.

Marriage was just a formality.

'It's nothing compared to gaining control of a country's currency. I just hope she's not too ugly...'

"If that's the condition, I can't refuse. Isn't the current issue a lack of trust in me? Then I have to accept it."

As he spoke, Rockefeller suddenly had a doubt.

"Who am I supposed to marry? Is there someone suitable in the Ismail family?"

"It's me."

Caught off guard by her unexpected words, Rockefeller could only blink in surprise.
