Chapter 146: 152

Chapter 152: Being a Gigolo is Awesome

The meeting between Goethe’s Prince Consort and Vidal’s successor was a complete success.

Well, it should be said that it was perfect.

Although there were more interludes, and most of them were interludes played by the Suona…

But in the end, preliminary consensus and trust were achieved.

Congratulations.

At least the old butler’s expression… was worth celebrating.

The old man looked very happy. It was obvious that he was relieved. Kang De had brought a lot of deterrence and pressure. Logically speaking, he was still very afraid.

That was because he had already understood Kang De’s methods and knew his master’s temperament like the back of his hand. To be honest, he felt that the chances of the two of them fighting together were very high.

Fortunately, they didn’t fight and didn’t argue too much.

In fact, after reaching an agreement, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be quite good.

At the very least, it was no longer as tense as before.

After he heaved a huge sigh of relief, the old butler looked at Kang De with a hint of admiration and even pity. He had never seen a young man who could completely suppress the young lady in terms of aura and language. It was a pity. If he could become the young lady’s husband, it would be much easier for him.

‘I don’t have to worry about Miss doing anything unseemly all day…’

Leona knew nothing about the old butler’s thoughts. She sent Kang De and Hong San off and told them the location of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce. The girl stuck her head out of the carriage window and looked at Kant. She said with a complicated tone, “I can’t order you around, nor can I change your mind. But please think about it before you make a decision.”

“I will.”

Kang De rode on his horse and turned to look at her. Then, he nodded in greeting. “I’m sorry that my attitude was a little rough earlier. I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for Tina and even risked your life.”

Leona curled her lips and said, “If you’re really sorry and grateful, listen to me.”

Kang De said without hesitation, “That won’t do. You can make suggestions about what to do, but I’ll be the one to make the decision in the end.”

These words exposed his nature again, but Leona was no longer angry. She had already understood this guy’s nature and was even used to it, so she only rolled her eyes.

“No matter what, my speech in the city hall is valid.”

She said, “All the wealth, assets, resources, and even people of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce in Valentine City can be at your disposal—but you have to obtain my approval.”

Kang De’s expression changed.

The girl continued, “I also want to remind you that it’s best to ask for what you need and want quickly. Nick will requisition Vidal’s assets at any time. If this vampire loots our resources, you’ll have to ask him for anything you want in the future.”

Kang De looked at Hong San.

Hong San jolted. “Weapons, protective equipment, food, medicine, we want them all! May I ask if it’s fine to bring them back today? We can collect them ourselves!”

Leona said proudly, “Vidal delivered it to your door on time. Give me a list.”

Hong San revealed an urgent expression and said sincerely, “How embarrassing. Why don’t I go personally and choose and prepare before escorting him to the Heaven and Earth Association… How about it?”

This did not matter. Leona nodded and agreed.

Kang De saw this. At first, he thought that Hong San was desperately converging his good things to increase the survival rate of those people. Then, he realized that it was probably not only that.

Hong San must be extremely uneasy and afraid now. He did not know how to announce this heavy news to everyone, but if he could return with a large number of resources and equipment, it would be easier to speak.

This guy was too cunning.

Leona’s gaze landed on Kang De. “What do you want? What do you need? Just ask. In any case, these resources and wealth are either collected by that bastard Nick, seized by the elves, or directly reduced to ashes—it’s useless either way. Why don’t I smash them on you?”

Kang De said without hesitation, “Money!”

“…”

Leona’s expression immediately became strange. “What?”

Kang De said, “Money. I want gold. Be it jewelry, decorations, or gold coins.”

Leona said with a strange expression, “The army is about to besiege the city. Nick probably has to implement strict control and rationing. Money is no longer useful. What do you want gold for?”

—Exchange for money, buy a house, purchase goods, and blow up everything.

“You don’t have to worry about this. I have a magical use for it. I won’t take it for nothing,” Kang De said. “If there’s a chance to get rich in the future, I’ll bring you along. Lend me some now.”

When the old butler beside him heard this, he did not think much of it. How rich and powerful was the Vidal family? Miss’s business talent was recognized by the old master, so how could this guy have the ability to make the Vidal family rich?

However, these words sounded different to Leona.

After all, in her eyes, Kang De—the terrifying guy—had casually said that. If this guy had any ideas about getting rich… Just thinking about it made her heart tremble.

The girl nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll send it to you later.”

Kang De continued, “Also, there are magic potions with magical uses and magic equipment. Alright, I know this thing is very precious. Just lend it to me. I’ll return it. Anything is fine.”

Magic items were indeed very precious, and so was magic medicine. Sometimes, this thing meant another life. Its value was often something that money could not measure, so Leona hesitated.

However, she still nodded. “I understand. I’ll try my best to collect and gather it for you.”

The old butler saw this and wanted to say something, but he still did not speak.

Money was not a big deal, but it was not small. Under such a special situation, it was fine to give gold, resources, and weapons, but magic equipment and magic medicine…

However, Miss was too easy to talk to. She almost agreed to everything.

Could it be…

A thought appeared in his mind, then he was happy and worried.

—Miss, what happened to you?

Since Hong San had a special request, it did not matter. The few of them turned around and went to the local Chamber of Commerce in Vidal. At Leona’s order, the entire city’s storage inventory began to be dispatched.

Cart after cart of weapons and food were quickly prepared.

“It’s about time. According to the number of people in your Heaven and Earth Association, you don’t need many, especially weapons and equipment. If you give him too many, Nick will jump. Now, he’ll turn a blind eye.”

Leona drew a few words on a piece of paper. “You can bring more food and medicine. It’s better to be prepared. However, Mr. Hong, you have to be prepared. Nick will sit back and watch you take things from Vidal. When it comes to the siege, he won’t hesitate to use you… understand?”

Hong San hesitated for a moment and slowly nodded.

He sighed, “No matter what our equipment is, Mayor Nick won’t care if it comes to that. Therefore, why don’t we be more prepared… Sigh, let’s do our best.”

Hong San was in charge of checking and choosing goods. Leona was dealing with the matters of the Chamber of Commerce. Kang De was so bored that the old butler actually accompanied him personally. Not only did he serve good food and drinks, but he also spoke a lot.

The focus of the topic was mainly on Leona. The old butler mainly said that although his master was sometimes willful, sometimes scolding, and sometimes doing unseemly things, she was still a very outstanding and intelligent girl. She was talented, had a bottom line, persistent, and beautiful.

“You mean…”

Kang De teased, “Although she’s scolding, irritable, willful, and spoiled, she’s a good girl?”

The old butler only smiled and nodded.

If he had played some games on Earth, he would definitely sigh—Miss, I can’t carry you anymore…

On the other hand, Hong San had already chosen the resources.

“I’ll send you the magic medicine and magic items later.”

Leona watched Kang De and Hong San slowly leave with the supply convoy.

The old butler stood beside her.

“Miss.”

“Yes?”

The old butler said, “Aren’t you going to tell Mr. Kang De about the green-skinned?”

Leona frowned. “What do you mean? I don’t know where those green-skinned went. I clearly gave them a map, but they can still get lost. They’re not here. There’s no point talking about something without evidence. Let’s get through this first…”
