The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 106 (1)

The Birth of a Family (6)

Whether it's one Mana Stone per minute or one per second.

As long as the Mana Stones don't decay, hiring him was almost an impossible task.

'Or maybe hire him temporarily.'

If he was hired temporarily, it would be difficult to specify the time he would be active, which was also a problem.

'But he is not someone who will negotiate well according to my wishes. He might have intended it from the start.'

So, Rockefeller came to this conclusion.

"Even if you're better than a dragon, hiring a dragon would be much better due to the cost. Hiring you is too expensive. It's way too expensive."

As if giving up, Lee Han's expression changed when Rockefeller spoke.

"Hey, you were just talking about hiring me, and now you're suddenly like this?"

"Please think about it. Where can you find a place that pays one Mana Stone per minute? Even the emperor of the empire wouldn't pay that much."

At that, Lee Han smiled.

"No, if you want to hire me, you have to pay that much. I'm not some local thug knight, I'm the owner of a well-known magic sword."

As Lee Han subtly showed off the magic sword he had, Rockefeller calmly lowered his head.

'Even if he's the protagonist, his price is too high.'

"Or can you hire me for just a few minutes when you need me? If so, I'll think about it."

Rockefeller thought that he would need Lee Han for a maximum of one or two hours, as he wouldn't have to face the 1st Prince forever.

If he paid one Mana Stone per minute, he would need a maximum of 120 Mana Stones, and Rockefeller had the ability to pay that much.

'I have the willingness to pay about 120 Mana Stones, but he won't accept that.'

Lee Han was a selfish person who didn't know how to consider others and only knew himself.

"That's one Mana Stone per minute, but only for the time I need?"

"If you agree, I'll think about it."

"Heh, do you think I'm a fool? If you want to hire me, you have to think about at least two days. And that's the reasonable thing to do."

As expected, that annoying sound came out again.

Rockefeller sighed shortly and spoke immediately.

"Who do you think you're fooling? If I pay one Mana Stone per minute for two days, it will be 2,880 stones. If I were a fool, I would hire you. With that amount, I could rent an army from the Goblin Bank instead of a dragon."

Lee Han's expression changed.

"No, you're saying you can't afford that much to hire me? You're hiring me, not someone else."

"It seems you don't think the cost of hiring you is too expensive."

"If the cost is too high, you can pay it off in small installments. I'll give you a very cheap interest rate, so don't worry too much."

This time, Rockefeller couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.

"Ha ha, that's a tactic we often use. Have you already forgotten who I am? I'm not a mere loan shark, but a guild leader representing those loan sharks. And you're saying that to me. It seems you're underestimating me way too much."

Lee Han glared at Rockefeller and soon smirked.

"Well, there's nothing more important than a person's life. Think of it as a good deal. I'm giving you a discount."

Rockefeller thought.

The man facing him right now wouldn't easily compromise.

He was the protagonist of the novel.

He was not easy to deal with and was more difficult to handle than any other character in the novel.

'But I can't end it like this.'

But soon he regained his composure.

As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you will win a hundred battles.

Rockefeller was an avid reader of the novel, so he knew more about Lee Han than anyone else in the world.

'Hey, I know exactly who you are. You may not know me here, but I do. I know what you're thinking and how you'll act.'

"Anyway, the picture you want won't come out here. I'm not a fool, so I won't do as you wish."

Before Lee Han could respond, Rockefeller quickly continued.

"But that doesn't mean you'll back down easily either. It seems you need the Mana Stones, and I have them. I'm telling you that it's better for you to stick with me and rip the Mana Stones off than to go around multiple dungeons for no reason."

Before Lee Han could reply, Rockefeller quickly continued his speech.

While Rockefeller continued talking, Ricardo brought tea from the lower floor. Lee Han, who had no interest in the steaming tea cup in front of him, opened his mouth.

"I have no regrets. Magic stones are everywhere in the world."

Rockefeller was not to be outdone.

"I have no regrets either. Even if it's not you, there are countless people I can hire."

Ricardo, who had been watching the sharp confrontation between the two, held his tongue. It wasn't his place to step in, and he couldn't find a compromise even if he did.

How much time had passed?

When Lee Han refused to give in, Rockefeller took the initiative.

"Please escort him out. It seems like our intentions don't match."

At that, Lee Han laughed alone.

'What kind of guy is he?'

Usually, at this point, most people would have given in.

Why?

Because he was an irreplaceable existence.

'He's got nothing but money and a big mouth.'

When Lee Han showed no signs of budging, Rockefeller spoke again.

"What are you doing? Do you still have more to say?"

Lee Han stood up from his seat, pointing at Rockefeller with his finger.

As Ricardo stood beside Lee Han, preparing to escort him out.

Suddenly, Lee Han sat down and spoke to Rockefeller.

"100 a day."

Now the conversation seemed to be getting through.
