Chapter 43 : No Concession!!
"Uchiha Kinya's merchant association?"
Uchiha Itachi frowned as he looked at his father's angry expression. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there an issue with his merchant association? Should we go check it out?"
The thought of problems arising at Uchiha Kinya's association piqued Itachi's interest.
He wanted to see how they dealt with those who dared to involve members of the Police Force in business, ensuring they fully returned to the clan's control.
"Itachi, it's not about enforcement; we're going to borrow money!" At that moment, a man with dark circles under his eyes walked over to Itachi, his tone somewhat numb.
"Borrow money? Is our clan out of funds?" Itachi frowned, but looking at his father's annoyed expression, he added, "Dad, we don't need to borrow from a merchant. How much do we need? I currently have a monthly salary of twenty thousand ryo; I can lend you some!"
With his monthly income of twenty thousand ryo and additional rewards from missions, he had plenty of money!
Seeing his father willing to set aside his pride to ask Uchiha Kinya for a loan was shocking; it felt like the clan leader was borrowing from his own clansmen.
"You have twenty thousand?" Fugaku looked at his naïve son, knowing he meant well, but he shook his head helplessly. "That's not enough. The Police Force needs at least one hundred and fifty thousand ryo to get through this crisis!"
One hundred and fifty thousand ryo?
Itachi's mouth twitched at the mention of such a large sum. Earning that much would take him at least five years of hard work without eating or drinking! But why was the Police Force so short on funds?
