Chapter 215: Gacha and Tulips (1)
“May the peace of God be with you. Alchini, how have you been?”
As soon as Alchini saw me, he clasped his hands together and responded.
“Thanks to you, sir, no, Lord Baron, I’ve been doing quite well. The coffee sales have been quite profitable.”
“I’m glad to hear that business is going well.”
“You, Lord Baron, were just a young member of the Medici family two years ago, and now look at you, you’ve achieved so much. It’s truly surprising how things unfold. Though, as we know, the world is shaped by the actions of the unique few, and us mere humans cannot predict it...”
While this might be hard to grasp in the context of the Middle Ages, what I’ve done is akin to a fresh graduate in university winning a seat in parliament and building a major corporation in just two years.
No, it’s probably even harder than that.
It would be more bizarre if I weren’t surprised.
Honestly, even I think this was more about luck than anything else.
‘My effort was important, but the timing made it perfect for me to strike.’
“Thank you for your compliments, Alchini. By the way, I’d like to buy some beautiful flowers, do you have any recommendations?”
When he heard the word “flowers,” Alchini tilted his head in confusion.
