The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 55

Here you are, 

The man in a long robe that came down to his knees expressed his doubt,

What is this? 

He had definitely handed over the mana stone and, at this price, was naturally expecting an Imperial gold coin, a Talent, but wasnt the mana stone merchant handing over an unfamiliar piece of paper? 

He was embarrassed for a moment.

The little girl who was with him asked curiously, 

Is something wrong? 

She was short and dressed in an oversized hood that hid her face, but the way she spoke implied that she seemed to be in a higher position than the man she was with. 

Lady Isabella, I was handed something other than a Talent as the price of the mana stone, so I was doubting myself if on whether the deal was right,

They gave you something other than a Talent? 

Yes, my lady, 

Although she was young, she was not as ignorant of the world as others of her age might be since she had spent time walking around outside. 

What did he give you instead of a Talent? 

The man quickly looked over the paper the mana stone merchant handed over. It seemed to be a promissory note issued by a specific Banco from a rough glance. 

Its a promissory note, 

Promissory note? 

As far as the girl knew, one coil sometimes receives a promissory note as the price of an item. 

Its an IOU from a place called Carter Banco. 

Well then, cant you just go to the Banco and exchange it for a Talent? 

Thats true but. 

There was another reason why the man was troubled.

He had been handed over a slightly different form of a promissory note from the commonly seen one. 

Usually, when a Banco issued a promissory note, the exact amount of gold that the Banco guaranteed was written on it; however, this promissory note only said that it was written with the lords borrowing certificate as collateral. 

The content is a little strange. There is no guarantee of any gold coins on this promissory note, 

This man was indeed, a highly educated magic instructor. 

Therefore, he had strong doubts about the very thing that the commoners of the lords territory had simply glossed over. 

Theres no guarantee? That cant be true, 

The store owner they were working with hurriedly began to speak out now that he had been thrust into a scenario where he was coming across as a scammer,

Oh, Im aware of that, but if you got the Carter Banco with that, the owner of the Banco would give you the talent without any issues. If the Banco doesnt give it to you, please revisit our shop. If that does happen, I will find another way to pay you for the mana stone, 

To think you could take this strange promissory note to the Banco and exchange it for gold coins without any problems! 

The two customers looked unconvinced. 

The banco will really exchange this for gold coins? 

Yes, its true. There havent been any issues with it so far, 

Thats strange. Its not very convincing. After all, the credit of the lord here isnt comparable to that of the Imperial family.

Even so, hes our lord. Although this used to be the able place where gold used to come out, but now, no one is paying attention to this place. Is there any problem with it? As long as there isnt a war in the Empire, there will be no problem, 

While the man in the long robe was conversing with the shop owner, the girl, who looked over the promissory note more closely, eventually shook her head. 

There is nothing on here that guarantees gold coins, 

The girl looked up at the shop owner. 

In his expression, there was not a hint of embarrassment or hesitation. He truly believed that there was no single lie in what he had said. 

He seemed to believe in this strange promissory note. 

Well. I dont think hes lying, at least.

The girl was interested in the Banco he was talking about. 

Looks like well just have to go and ask.

Rockefeller faced the two unidentifiable customers who had visited the shop. 

One was a tall man with apparent, solid features, and the other was a young girl who looked to be around the same age as his younger brothers. 

The girl was wearing a hooded robe, so he couldnt see her face, but the man took off his head and clearly revealed his presence.

Who could they be?

Among the people who came to the Banco, very few were random people off the streets. Most of them were aristocrats or merchants who worked with a relatively large amount of money. 

Though their identity was unknown, Rockefeller smiled naturally and dealt with them as usual, 

What brings you here today? 

When Rockefeller spoke, the old man looked behind him and said, 

Wheres the owner? 

The owner? Why are you looking for the owner? 

The man would have never thought that Rockefeller was working at the shop as an employee. He looked far too young for that. 

I have something to say to the owner of this shop. 

When the man replied with an expressionless face, Rockefeller was a little suspicious, 

There shouldnt be any issues, right?

If youre here for business with the shop, you can talk to me about it. Im looking after the shop business, 

The man looked quite surprised at his words.
