Chapter 478 Borrowing money
"You..." Miconia was startled; she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, she was depending on Lathel to be able to establish roots in Karol. Besides... she didn't think he would make unreasonable demands.
Finally, she fell silent.
But Tinryss was different; she looked at Lathel as she looked at Lathel, like she wanted to see through his mind.
A moment later, she smiled and said: "Okay. For me, no enemy or friendship lasts forever. Only interests can connect us together."
"However, I hope the benefits you are about to discuss will be enough to satisfy me, Lathel."
Lathel nodded, took three things out of his space bag, and placed them on the table.
In order, there was a small rectangular box about the size of a hand, an extremely beautiful glass vase, and finally a glass bottle, about 30 cm high.
"These three things will completely change the current business landscape of this empire."
Hearing Lathel's words, Miconia and Tinryss looked towards the three things he had just placed on the table, then looked back at him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tinryss tilted her head and said: "Lathel, I don't know what these three things are; however, it is very difficult to change the business situation and dominate the market in this empire."
"You must know who is holding the economic lifeblood of this empire."
"Of course I know; it's Amleth." Lathel nodded slightly and said.
"Do you know how vast her power and economic potential are?" Tinryss frowned and asked.
Lathel shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I can guess that it is very huge, enough to drown all other merchants in this empire."
"Ah! So you think you can win her over with just these three goods?" Tinryss covered her mouth and smiled contemptuously.
Lathel continued to shake his head: "Of course it's impossible; however... I have the trump card to defeat her. At the very least, I can push her out of the Empire's market."
"Oh! Can I hear a little about that plan in advance?" Tinryss shrugged and asked.
Lathel smiled: "No, this is my trump card. Not everyone can hear my plan."
"So, how can I trust you?" Tinryss frowned as she looked at Lathel with a bit of murderous intent.
"You have no way back now, Tinryss. Do you think Amleth will allow you to run the Spring Palace easily?" Lathel said, smiling.
"In a while, after the Empress of this Empire issues a complete ban on the prostitute business, how will you survive here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tinryss frowned and said uncomfortably: "The business of prostitutes and brothels is extremely normal; how can the Queen Mother prohibit it?"
Lathel just looked at Tinryss with a mysterious smile, then put the three things on the table into his space bag, stood up, and said: "Good, then... you try to wait and see."
Tinryss tilted her head and said: "Hahaha... Lathel, if the Queen really forbids it, I will be willing to be your subordinate."
How did Akna, a servant of Lathel, know that?
"You don't need to know why I know that information." Lathel smiled and said: "I just want to ask you one thing, is that information... accurate?"
Miconia pursed her lips, then nodded with difficulty: "That's right... I... I'm having a bit of financial difficulty, I will..."
"If you want, I can..." She said this as she reached up with a trembling hand and unbuttoned a button.
"Heh?!" However, her movements had to stop because Lathel's hand immediately grabbed her wrist.
"I don't need you to do that." Lathel sighed, shook her head, and said: "I will lend you 100 million gold coins. Temporarily stabilise the situation at the auction centre first."
"Currently, you do not need to operate the auction centre; all activities must stop."
"As for the criminals and black markets inside your area, just leave them alone; we will deal with them later."
Miconia was startled when she heard Lathel's words. She raised her head to look at him, her eyes wet: "You... you really don't need me? Is it because I'm not beautiful?
"No..." Lathel shook her head: "You and I are working together. If you have trouble, of course I will help."
"Besides... I only lent you that money. Later, you have to pay it back to me."
Lathel spoke as he took out her ID card, Miconia also knew what he was planning to do, she also took out her ID card.
After the transaction was completed, Miconia couldn't help but let her tears flow out in two small streams: "I... I will definitely pay you back."
Lathel patted Miconia on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry. For now, please take care of your family first. Do you know why I easily lent you 100 million gold coins without knowing when you would pay them back?"
Miconia raised her head, tears streaming down her puzzled face. She lightly shook her head, signifying her ignorance.
"Because..." Lathel said: "A person who does not abandon their loved ones under any circumstances is a trustworthy person."
"I don't want to know what danger your family has been in; however, in moments like this, you are still willing to put down your ego and arrogance, which is extremely precious."
The words Lathel said came from his heart.
On Earth, he was an orphan, who grew up in the loneliness and coldness of the world. That's why he dreams of having a real family, a warm and happy family.
He held on to his wife because he did not want the happy family he thought of to be broken.
He admires people who have a happy family, and he also deeply respects people who, no matter the circumstances, protect their family.
Lathel looked at Miconia with admiration and respect. He felt that although this girl spoke a bit arrogantly, her heart was still clear.
Having finished speaking, he did not wait for Miconia to answer but immediately entered the car compartment and immediately left.
Miconia watched the carriage leave, with countless mixed emotions.
For the first time, after so many years, there was someone who believed and helped her without any hidden agenda.
At this moment, Miconia felt... as if she were not alone.
'Stupid.'
