Chapter 252 - 14: Small Goals (3)
Dora returned the next day with 1,100 gold coins that she said we don’t need to repay.
Including Jones’s own 52 gold coins, now they had a total of 1,152 gold coins. Still, they needed 48,848 more gold coins to reach 50,000...
Looking at the small pile of gold coins, Jones felt a bit desperate. *He had even decided to befriend the sea water and go out fishing every day to earn money to pay off his debts.* *However, is the plan to establish the Blood Clan territory ultimately going to die because of a lack of money?*
After pondering for most of the day, he finally made a decision that he could execute immediately—sleep!
Yes, sleep, what else could he do but sleep?
It was evident that he hadn’t anticipated returning to the Blood Clan territory, much less wanting to buy a castle. Those years with Gray, if Jones wanted to earn some income, acquire a title, or even get a small piece of human territory, it would have been quite easy. Not to mention a baron, even an earl, there were plenty of people around who could hand one to him at any time. Although the income from a human territory was a lot less compared to a Blood Clan territory, at least he would have an income, right?
Darren IV, who was only in power for a few months, had even attempted to bribe him with 100,000 gold coins. However, at that time, he "viewed money as filth" and "righteously" refused Darren’s sordid proposal. Now wanting it seemed a bit too late...
Dora softly consoled him, "Lord Jones, I think we can actually consider other solutions. For example, we could earn the money ourselves."
