Chapter 281: Power inflation (1)
One quiet weekend. At sunset.
A carriage departed from the Colosseo Academy, heading for the Bourgeois Family.
Dolores. Piggy. Sinclair.
The trio were honored to be hosted and dined by the Bourgeois family, the most prestigious family in the Empire.
Naturally, Piggy and Sinclair were excited.
"Didn't our Oracle Club do great this time! 1st place in mock investment competition! And surprisingly, all of this was actually a real rate of return!"
"And we even hosted a party that was so spectacular it made my eyes roll back in my head. My God, how much did it all cost? I have no idea."
"Did you hear about the place we're going to for dinner tonight? It's a Bourgeois family vault!"
"Yeah, I heard that, too. There's jewelry, gold bars, coins, bills, checks, drafts, real estate titles, art, antiques, all kinds of expensive stuff near the table. They say it goes beyond the mountains."
"Hiig- that's a bit of an exaggeration, to say the least. Why would anyone put that stuff there?"
"If you put your money in a vault, then where else would you put it?"
