Chapter 162: CLXII. Business Empire
"Really? A thing worth ten thousand silver coins, and you’re just gifting it to me?"
Liszt wanted to see how lavish this person was. If you can casually fork over ten thousand, I, Liszt, will acknowledge you as the strongest! Why bother robbing vehicles? Just be this guy’s underling.
"This..."
The nouveau riche didn’t know what to say. Even in the short term he couldn’t gather up that much money, let alone what kind of artwork would be worth ten thousand Golden Dragons? Maybe they dug up the remains of an Overlord from two thousand years ago, but four or five hundred he could still afford to give, thinking of it as making an acquaintance with a refined gentleman.
His knight bodyguard leaned in to whisper a reminder in his ear, as he was someone involved in this business and quite familiar with some high-tier adventurers.
News traveled fast within the platform of the adventurer’s guild about which Magic Beast had been slain and which Lord had recruited new Guests.
Naturally, the nouveau riche had also hired an expert as his bodyguard, all from the same circle.
"Gawain," although he didn’t recognize him, Meredith and "Weber" both had a certain notoriety, known in the circles by their nicknames.
One was called the Thorny Knight because of the tattoos on his face and the other called Big Dragon Tooth due to his weapon resembling an anvil.
Just like Goria was called the Moon Wheel Knight.
Hearing this, the nouveau riche regarded Liszt with increased respect, truly another who mingled in high-end circles, surrounded by flamboyantly dressed impressive guests.
