The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 120 (2)

"Did you not know that this is our territory when you came here? You wouldn't have done that if you were in your right mind."

"No, on the contrary, I knew very well and set up my shop here. This is your territory, right?"

This brat.josei

"Ha ha, you're either fearless or you've lost your mind."

"Still, be grateful that we're not doing business directly in Ranstadt. If we started there, your shops would have closed down."

"What makes you say that with such confidence?"

"Do I have to tell you for you to know?"

Rockefeller began to speak with a smile.

"Look around. See what's happening to the Banco stores affiliated with the Union."

Ah, my blood pressure.

However, he had to keep a smiling face at all costs.

The Union representative, who forced a smile, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

The inexplicable laughter didn't last long.

"Do you have two or three lives?"

"I only have one life, but why do you ask as if I have two or three?"

"No, think about it rationally."

The Union representative, who sat leisurely on the sofa, raised his hand with a full expression of relaxation and lightly swept the surroundings.

"Do you know that all of this is our land? We're just the shell, and the real owner is elsewhere. Have you ever heard of Ismail?"

It was so unbelievable.

The Union representative shook his head as if it was unfortunate.

"You'll even piss your pants if you know. Anyway, that face. Do you know how long it's going to stick around?"

At that moment.

Joseph, who had followed him, quietly whispered something into the Union representative's ear.

Upon hearing this, the Union representative, who had been shaking his head, suddenly lifted one corner of his mouth.

"Ah, so that's what it was. I was wondering what kind of guts you had to come here and do business."

Rockefeller didn't reply but decided to listen quietly to what he was saying.

"Did you rely solely on the Sinclair family and come here with such guts?"

The Union representative's words continued towards Rockefeller, who showed no reaction.

"So that's how it is. Honestly, I was curious about what kind of guts those guys had to do business here like madmen."

He continued, shaking his head.

"That Sinclair. Ah, the Sinclair family is quite impressive in its own right. Still, isn't it a prestigious imperial family that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Tepez family? With such a family backing you, you might have lost their fear."

He let out a sneer.

"But do you know? Even if Ismail has become a toothless tiger, they should still have some claws left. You've underestimated them too much."

Rockefeller maintained the same expression, sparing his words.

"There's no need to even mix words here anymore."

Rockefeller was itching to say something to him, but he decided to watch until the end to see how he would act.

The Union representative, who suddenly got up from his seat, quietly placed a silver coin with a sea serpent drawn on it on the table in front of him.

"It's the fare for the journey to the afterlife. You'll be going there soon, and I have nothing else to give you. This seems just right."

His followers, who had accompanied him, began to laugh loudly.

Giving the fare for the journey to the afterlife to someone about to die was a long-standing tradition among pirates.

As their low laughter filled the store, Rockefeller was finally able to open his closed mouth.

"Fare for the journey to the afterlife... It seems like you've given it too early. Are you just leaving? You have nothing more to say?"

The Union representative, who had taken care of his fare and was striding out of the store, sent a thick smile to Rockefeller, who was still in his seat.

"What's the point of mixing words here when you're about to die soon?"

The corners of his mouth turned up, symbolizing his own victory.

As the Union representative was about to leave like that.

Rockefeller also got up from his seat and threw a gold coin at him.

'I guess he'll go the same way as the previous guild master.'

Ismail had never dealt with things carelessly.

If they hadn't had their tacit approval in the first place, he wouldn't be here, or he wouldn't have been able to do business at all.

"Well, you should take mine too."

The Union representative looked puzzled as he saw the gold coin that had hit his waist and rolled away.

"What is this?"

"What do you mean? It's your fare. It seems like you'll be sightseeing in the afterlife soon too. So I gave it to you first."

Seemingly taken aback,

The Union representative, who had been laughing alone, picked up his fare, unlike Rockefeller.

"You're young, but you have a big heart. Usually, it's customary to throw just one silver coin. To throw a gold coin like this."

"That's the fare for the journey to the afterlife. It seems like touching it would bring terrible luck, are you really okay with that?"

Regardless of what Rockefeller said.

The Union representative, who had no intention of going to the afterlife in the first place, was rather worried about Rockefeller's safety.

"I've survived through countless storms and encounters with naval warships so far. Why would I suddenly die? There's someone else who's going to die, after all."

The Union representative, pointing at Rockefeller with the gold coin in his hand, let out a defiant laugh.

The yellow teeth and gold teeth between his lips were somewhat charming in their own way.

"I'll use this for a useful purpose, as my gratuity. Normally, I wouldn't even bother looking at such small change, but if it's a gold coin given by Guild Master Lyon, it's different."

Joseph chimed in, fueling his excitement.

"Sir Warren! The taste of alcohol tonight will be amazing!"

"Yeah, tonight's alcohol taste will be amazing! Guild Master Lyon even took care of my gratuity!"

"Hahaha!"

He never expected them to take the fare he had given so openly.

Rockefeller could only shake his head.

'Gold coins must indeed be nice. Seeing how he takes it with him like that, even if he's going to the afterlife.'
