The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 58

The old man thought that perhaps Rockefeller was the most daring and quick-thinking boy he had ever encountered. 

Youre a strange person, 

It was the little girl who had led the conversation but now she was the one who felt uncomfortable. 

On the other hand, Rockefeller felt no inconvenience in dealing with this little girl as if dealing with any other commoner. 

What are you so taken-aback about? You told me to talk comfortably so Im taking comfortably.

If you tell me where you felt the problem lies, I will try to answer you sincerely, 

When Rockefeller tried asking again, the girl begant to react. 

There was nothing on that promissory note that guaranteed gold coins, nevertheless, you gave me the coins without any problems here. Cant you feel anything weird about that? 

Yes, thats true, but as written on the promissory note, its guaranteed with the promissory note issued by the Lord as collateral, thats why it can be exchanged for Talents. 

Do the people here believe that the Lord will never fall? 

Yes, of course. The Lord is like the sky is he not? 

It was then that the man who intervened between the two. 

There is nothing eternal about a Lord or his territory, boy. Even in times like these, there will be Lords who will disappear due to political problems within the Empire or territories that will be invaded by foreign powers, 

Of course, Rockefeller understood what they were taking issue with. 

And what Rockefeller wanted was that their line of questioning to not spread to others. 

I know it all too well but I need to take advantage of the ignorance of those who dont. 

Weve never thought that the Lord or this land might fall. And if youre a Lord, isnt it natural that there wouldnt be a problem? 

The man pointed out again, 

That complacency is the problem. To issue a promissory note that holds no worth beyond the Lords own promissory note a Lord on the periphery of a territory, not even the imperial family! Usually when it comes to a promissory note, it should be gold coins used as collateral, not the Lords credit. 

Excuse me, Im sorry to say in the middle of a conversation, but are there any problems with the Talent we gave you?

Why are you asking that? 

If what you had just said is the problem, of course it would be our shop that would suffer the damage but I was wondering if you were worried about our shop? As you said, if the Lords credit is damaged, the well get the damage since we issued the promissory notes with the Lords credit as collateral and gave out the gold coins, 

The girl answered shortly, 

Not only you, but many people will suffer because of the Lord, 

As you said, that would only happen when if things went wrong, right? 

The girl waited quietly to see what Rockefeller would say, 

But our Lords credit status is very good right now. Our Lord he pays his interest on time, and he has never once caused trouble because of debt problems, 

Rockefeller put on an innocent smile that screamed Im a good person. 

Thats why we can comfortably use the promissory note that puts the Lords loan as collateral. If they Lords credit was bad, would we give out Talents for such a promissory note, that might become more a worthless piece of tissue one day? Of course not, 

The girl glanced at the man behind her when she heard that the Lords credit status was better than expected, and the man was lost in thought for a moment but soon, he gave Rockefeller the reaction he had wanted. 

If the Lords credit here is sound then I dont think it would cause any big problems, 

Are there no threats here? 

As I said, this is a territory on the periphery of the Empire. Its a peaceful place where no territorial or political issues come to mind, 

As he thought about it, the man was able to recall the old name this territory had, 

A long time ago, this place was called the Azrak Goldmine, and was the land of the Dwarfs."
