Chapter 269 - 23: Hilde Chamber of Commerce_3
Although there were countless twists and turns, everything seemed to have fallen back onto the track that Jones had envisioned—make money, pay debts, make more money, expand the castle, and eventually become a great Blood Clan Lord.
The objective seemed almost within reach.
"If I can earn 50,000 Gold Coins a year, I’ll pay off my debts in two years. After that, in eight more years, when I reach the ten-year mark, I’ll have 400,000 Gold Coins! 400,000! That’s enough to do a ton of things. I could expand this castle several times over! Or maybe even buy a whole new castle and finally be free of this damn Hydra!"
"I’m almost grateful to that goblin who sold me this castle. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to acquire a castle and a piece of land so quickly. Even though I haven’t paid a single coin of the debt yet—and technically, the castle isn’t mine—it will soon be mine! Hahaha!"
With that thought, Jones immediately felt his future was brimming with hope. He even started humming a tune as he walked.
In the following days, as he waited for Adolf to arrive, he focused his energy on organizing the castle’s interior.
First and foremost, a major cleanup was absolutely essential. Previously, they had only removed the Hydra’s droppings. To make the castle fit for living, there was still a long way to go. The castle was full of junk.
Most of it was left by the previous owner, and the majority had already been crushed by the Hydra, making it so broken it was beyond salvageable.
