Chapter 220 Count Rondon (5)
Roman Dmitri.
He was an unexpected person.
As the bailiff looked at him with puzzled eyes, Roman Dmitri casually sat down and looked up at his opponent.
“Please have a seat.”
“… What are you doing here?”
“There was an accident with Count Rondon. I have acted as his representative, so if you have anything to say, let me know.”
The bailiff’s gaze turned to the treasurer.
When asked why, the treasurer also showed a puzzled face, revealing that he did not know anything.
No matter what.
The place for negotiations has been set.
A deputy had appeared, so the bailiff sat across from Roman Dmitri, showing disapproval.
said the bailiff.
“As an agent, you know how things are going. The explanation of the preceding situations is omitted, and the money that Redford Kingdom has to repay to the Golden Bank is about 100,000 gold, including principal and interest. The problem is, it was like that until 5 minutes ago. If the Earl of Rondon showed up on time and paid back the 100,000 gold, the Golden Bank would have covered up the previous problems and pursued amicable relations again.”
Sigh.
Leaned.
I looked at Roman Dmitri with a rather perverse attitude.
“Time is money for us. It is our job to receive interest on the money that has been withdrawn from our pockets, depending on when it is returned. So, do you think it’s right for us to finish this problem for 100,000 gold now, 5 minutes after 9? In my opinion, no. It was exactly 9 o’clock when we decided to repay the debt of 100,000 gold, and at the point where even a second passed, we classify ‘Kingdom of Redford’ as bad debtors and deserve to hold them accountable.”
“Don’t spin around, get to the point.”
“All right.”
The bailiff chuckled.
From the moment beyond the appointed time.
No, to be precise, from the moment the money was borrowed until the end of this transaction, Golden Bank had no choice but to be the top.
“We will have to pay interest on the overdue. 10% of the amount owed. If you pay back 110,000 gold right away, you will forget the bad memories with Redford Kingdom. From then on, it doesn’t matter if you borrow money again. As long as it is not a bad debtor, Golden Bank is always open to transactions.”
“… 110,000 gold!”
the treasurer screamed.
110,000 gold.
It was a huge amount.
Even getting 100,000 gold was impossible due to Redford’s circumstances, but there was no way to repay the amount with 10,000 gold added to it.
Besides, the news that the Earl of Rondon had been in an accident kept making me uncomfortable.
In addition to the recent house attack, I thought that the accident that happened while moving the 100,000 gold coin box was not a coincidence.
said Roman Dmitry.
“The Earl of Rondon had an accident on his way here. Somehow he was attacked by gold coin-seeking citizens, and he can’t afford to pay back 100,000 gold. Let me ask you again. Is the only way to solve Redford’s and Golden Bank’s problems is to pay them back 110,000 instead of 100,000?”
“We are not obligated to consider the circumstances of the debtor. Only the date on which repayment was promised is important. Even if we have to secure 100,000 gold for a house we do not have, what we want is 110,000 gold from now on.”
It was a firm answer.
Golden Bank.
Iron Blood Bank.
People think that they are simply money-lenders, but there is no more warlike power on the continent than them.
If the money is not paid, only ruin.
Rather than the evils of the continent like the Kronos Empire, there were more people who walked the path of downfall by the Golden Bank.
Roman Dmitri paused for a moment.
He met the other person’s gaze and spat out the words as if it was not a big deal.
“I will ask you one last time. Is it money you want or is it your ruin?”
* * *
If you follow the history of the continent, you can find the name of the Golden Bank on a page of history.
they were the same
In the past and now, many people have fallen into the abyss by those who only talk about the relationship of debt.
“Golden Bank is the fiend of gold coins. If you intend to do business with them, pay off your debts somehow, even if it means selling your soul. Otherwise, the demon of gold will destroy you and everything around you.”
It was the wise advice.
Roman Dmitry’s question was quite aggressive in regards to Golden Bank’s actions, which have historically shown numerous examples.
so that.
“What did you say just now?”
The executioner’s expression hardened.
Roman’s words.
It was a sensitive issue.
People did not hesitate to criticize Golden Bank’s actions, but no one said it in front of their eyes.
A statement that I do not dare to utter even if I know it.
Roman Dmitry looked straight into the bailiff’s eyes, despite his hostile gaze, as if he would eat it at any moment.
“Actually, I’m not sure of Golden Bank’s intentions. You insist on paying your debts justly, but no moneylender in the world collects debts even at the risk of war. The cost of war does not promise monetary gain, even if it means crushing an opponent and robbing them of all their possessions. That’s really stupid. As an interest-generating force, there is no need to make things worse by forcing people to pay you back.”
“There is a difference between normal lending business and Golden Bank. It’s a matter of promise. The reason people pay off Golden Bank’s debt somehow is because we’ve clearly demonstrated how we respond when we break promises.”
“I also want Golden Bank to be a simple lending business. But there are parts that I don’t understand.”
Tension was rampant.
They didn’t pull out their swords, but the two didn’t back down at all, as if they were going to eat each other.
“When the Golden Bank lent money to the Kingdom of Redford. The kingdom of Redford was already in a very complicated state of debt due to the king’s deviation. And yet, Golden Bank lent money. It means that you, who value the other person’s reliability and debt relationship, lent tens of thousands of gold without hesitation, knowing that it would be difficult to get it back. It is not convincing just because the other party is the king’s status. Doesn’t the precedent prove that Golden Bank is brutally scrutinizing the situation?”
A page of history.
Going up along it, the Golden Bank was a mysterious force that appeared like a mirage without any signs.
who is the owner
Where does the funding come from?
no one knew
They suddenly appeared with money beyond the national level and quickly became a force that exerted tremendous influence on the continent.
To this day, no one questioned him.
The past years have proven their existence, so people have accepted the Golden Bank for what it is.
but.
Roman Dmitry was different.
Even through Hao Mun, he couldn’t find out the basis of the Golden Bank, but he confirmed that sometimes, like the case in Redford Kingdom, he does things that don’t make sense.
If so, one reasoning could be reached.
It came to the conclusion that Golden Bank’s actions were similar to the Kronos Empire, which wished for the destruction of other countries.
offensive remarks.
The bailiff’s face twisted.
He let out his anger with a face that looked like he was about to explode.
“So you’re saying we lent money in hopes of ruining Redford? This is a statement I can’t stand. Negotiations are broken. The Kingdom of Redford will be considered unwilling to repay the debt, and the remarks of the Dmitri family will be formally raised in the international community later.”
Jump up.
got up from the seat
Just when you want to leave
“Listen to the end.”
stop step.
said Roman Dmitri with a smile.
“Redford’s debt. I will pay you back.”
* * *
Things have been sorted out.
The executor was furious, but he couldn’t refuse Roman Dmitri’s words that he would pay back 110,000 gold instead.
at last.
The purpose of the loan business is money.
If he did not accept Roman Dmitri’s money, he had no choice but to get caught up in the question of whether he wished for ruin under the pretext of debt.
For that reason, the situation was settled.
The bailiff left with an angry face after writing a document stating that Redford Kingdom had fully paid off its debt in a gold coin box containing 110,000 gold.
before leaving the room.
He said this with his back to Roman Dmitri.
“The Dmitry family made a big mistake today. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.”
bailiff’s warning.
Roman Dmitry drank the tea calmly.
The treasurer, who was holding his breath in a series of situations, spoke in a cautious voice.
“… thank you. Thanks to you, the Kingdom of Redford has survived a great crisis.”
110,000 gold.
That’s a lot of money.
The Dmitri family showed their wealth by lending a whopping 100,000 gold and then repaying an additional 110,000 gold.
The rumor that Dmitry’s wealth was enormous was true.
Dmitri, who has such a tight grip on an industry that it is said that all the steel of the Salamander Continent comes from Dmitri, casually offered an amount that even most kingdoms felt burdensome.
furthermore.
Due to recent technical cooperation with the dwarves, Dmitri has been collecting more wealth than ever before.
“I don’t want to hear you say thank you. Dmitri didn’t help for no reason either.”
Roman Dmitry reacted coldly.
He didn’t get up from his seat.
As if there is someone waiting for you.
Even after drinking all of the tea, I sat in my seat and created a suffocating tension.
how much time has passed
Finally, I heard someone running outside the door.
* * *
Earl of Rondon.
By the time he came to his senses, it was already past the appointed time.
“Count! It’s a big deal! It is said that the group that attacked us gave all the gold coins to the common people!”
“… this.”
It was devastating news.
The 100,000 gold that was secured with difficulty literally evaporated, and there was no way to get back the money that was scattered to the citizens.
Of course, if you use force, some will be returned, but bloodshed will be unavoidable in the process of finding gold coins that have been handed over to starving citizens.
In the end, it was his own fault.
Even though Roman Dmitri said he would keep me safe, I ruled out extreme situations and proceeded with the work, and an accident occurred.
really.
It was stupid.
He was brilliant enough to rise to the position of a wealthy man, but he was not wise in matters related to the country.
no.
If he had been wise, he would have abandoned patriotism in the first place.
Collecting casualties and sorting out the situation, Count Rondon headed straight to the meeting place.
I don’t have the ability to settle the debt, but I had to explain the situation and somehow buy time to secure the money.
however.
Roman Dmitry was at the meeting place.
And at the words of the treasurer that he had settled the debt, the Earl of Rondon immediately knelt down on the spot.
dump.
“Redford owes a great debt to Roman Dmitri. I was robbed of 100,000 gold by the citizens, and without Roman Dmitri’s help, Redford would have collapsed due to the debt of the Golden Bank. say anything Redford will do anything to pay off Roman Dmitri’s debt and will repay Dmitri’s kindness for the rest of his life. Thank you very much.”
He bowed his head.
It didn’t matter that blood flowed from his head.
In a crying voice, he expressed his gratitude to the sky that Redford was not over yet.
but.
Roman Dmitri’s expression was cold.
Even the treasurer, watching the situation from the sidelines, knew that this was not a moving situation to express gratitude.
“Count Rondon. You seem to be very mistaken now.”
cold voice.
It was only then that the Earl of Rondon raised his face in surprise and was able to face reality.
“The Count borrowed 100,000 gold from me and said he would not take responsibility for it. At those words, which brought up the safety of the kingdom union, Dmitri accepted the Count’s offer even though he knew that he could not hope for financial gain. But how did this situation come about? 100,000 gold was stolen and I lost the ability to repay, so I spent an additional 110,000 gold to solve Redford’s problem.”
When the wagon loaded with gold coins left.
when attacked by civilians.
Roman Dmitry was informed of the situation.
There was definitely an opportunity to help if he made up his mind, but Roman Dmitri reached a more important conclusion than that.
so that.
“Redford’s incompetence has made the worst of it. Count, this is not the time for you to say thank you.”
From now on.
It was Dmitri’s turn to resolve the situation.
