Chapter 106 – Chapter 106 Another Mage Tower
Jason immediately went to the Palmo Empire branch of the Steel Clergy.
Jason was already a big guest of the Steel Clergy.
He borrowed a large sum of money that was difficult for most merchants to borrow, and he was paying back the principal and interest on a regular basis.
Such good guests were rare.
Thanks to this, Jason was able to meet the branch manager right away.
Being a branch manager was never a low position.
The Steel Clergy was a money-playing group all over the world.
If it was money, it was more than the emperor of the Palmo Empire.
And the branch manager was in a high position overseeing the entire Steel Clergy of the Palmo Empire.
Thanks to the deal, Jason was able to meet the branch manager Stiana Efri right away.
“Ah, Mr. Jason Wolf. I heard that it is difficult in many ways these days. Need more credit?”
What the Steel Priests were most concerned about was the economic ability of the person who took out the loan.
And that ability was always subject to change, and the Steel Clergy were always keeping an eye on it.
“No. Rather than that, I’d like to suggest making money.”
The Steel Clergy, which operated on the global stage, could exert more influence on the emperor than borrowing his father’s name.
Just as Jason explained to Geoffrey, he explained about Hand Push and gently persuaded him that if he would politically pressure the emperor, he would give him a share of Hand Push.
“We are priests who act according to the will of the Goddess of Light. An organization that helps people in urgent need of money. It is not a place for business.”
Stiana’s branch manager revealed her intention of refusal.
Jason watched her expression closely.
“Then why are you paying interest? Isn’t interest a business?”
“It’s a kind of donation to keep running a good organization called the Order of the Iron Clergy. People who worship the Goddess of Light also have to eat.”
“How about making that donation through equity?”
“Until now, there has been no such history.”
“History is always being remade. Did anyone predict that the sex life of the Palmo Empire would change like this until I made a thing called love gel?”
Branch manager Stiana was worried.
No matter how she wraps her words, in the end, the one who rises higher in the Steel Clergy is the one who earns more money from the outside.
Stiana was already a woman in high places, but she was thirsty for even higher places.
“Share. It’s a share How much are you expecting?”
“About 1.2 million gold per month is expected. We offer 5 percent. 60,000 gold.”
“Five percent. Too little.”
“If you can earn 60,000 gold a month just by saying something to the emperor, isn’t that a business you can get for free? We do both production and sales. If you want to take more than that, you should have been a thief, not a priest.”
Jason pushed a little harder.
It was an opportunity to earn 60,000 gold per month with just one word.
Quite a few people found it difficult to resist the temptation.
“Ten percent.”
“Don’t try to play with me. As branch manager Stiana knows, I am more successful as a merchant before being a thief. The pre-calculations are neatly done. 5 percent.”
“After. Yes. Then.”
Jason and Stiana shook hands.
And Jason said.
“I haven’t even brought a contract because I’m not in a good mood these days. I will go home and carefully fill out the contract.”
“Then I am waiting for you.”
**
Jason went home right away.
Found his father
And he told me what he was doing at the Steel Clergy’s Palmo Empire branch.
“The Iron Clergy is a place where you can say the right things to the emperor without paying attention. And it’s related to money here and there, so it has a lot of political power. Compared to the name of the dark ball, it won’t be that far behind.”
“Then why do you sign a contract there and even report it to me?”
“I want to give my father a chance. I’ll give you a 10% share. Twice.”
Jeffrey pondered for a moment before saying.
“As you said, wouldn’t it be better to borrow the power of the Steel Clergy? You will get more money.”
“But the money that went into the Steel Clergy is not my money. Isn’t there a possibility that I will inherit the money I give to my father later?”
“If you think so, give me more shares.”
“And I have to have money to spend. Even 10 percent is too generous.”
Haha!!”
Jeffrey laughed out loud.
Originally, the price was different depending on the situation and the person.
And the most accurate way to find out the price was to compare here and there.
Now my youngest son has done it perfectly.
“Good night. So, let’s do as you say. If it’s 10%, it’s about 120,000 gold per month. If the product called Hand Push sells well, I can get more money.”
“Yes. And father.”
“Why?”
“Father, I will make some excuses for the Steel Clergy.”
“Haha. You’re just trying to suck your father down the spine.”
In conclusion, it was as if Jason used the Steel Clergy to use his father’s name.
In order not to anger Stiana’s branch manager, at least the name of the Dark Ball had to be added.
And Jeffrey was not at all afraid of the Steel Clergy.
After all, the Steel Clergy was the organization the borrowers feared the most.
However, the Wolf family was famous for being rich in cash, owning several illicit businesses.
It was burdensome for Geoffrey to fight with the Emperor, but the Steel Clergy was not at all like that.
‘Did I count this far?’
Then the youngest son wasn’t just good at business, he had a political sense.
Even doing such political calculations meant that he was raising several squirrels in his stomach.
And Jeffrey said to Jason.
“Don’t be afraid to be criticized. Now, this father will curse instead. If I gather people who curse me in the Palmo Empire, this huge mansion will explode. But look at me. I am living like this even if I eat so much swearing.”
Jeffrey was not ashamed of his life.
He was far better off being a bad guy and living rich than being honest and living poor.
Having experienced it from the bottom of the street, he had confidence.
“In the end, if you do well, everyone will curse at you. Don’t be swayed by that. If you have skills, you can live well even if you are criticized. If you don’t have skills, you’re shaking when you’re swearing. In the end, skill matters. Do you know what I am talking about?”
“Yes. You’re saying don’t stop doing great things because you’re afraid of being criticized.”
“Okay. You understand me well okay. Go out now I have to finish the job.”
It was a parent-child relationship.
There was no need for a contract.
Jason went out of the study, believing that Geoffrey would somehow politically pressure the emperor.
All he had to do was apologize to the head of the Styana branch, making excuses for his father.
Jason left the study.
Geoffrey called for Demeter and he quickly came running.
Jeffrey got right to the point.
“I need to be a little bit of a shield for Jason.”
“Didn’t you say you would just watch Master Jason do the other day? It’s hard to fight each other with the emperor… “
“But when the youngest is so good, how can you not raise his hand?”
And Jeffrey pondered over how to pressure Emperor Juthema.
It didn’t look good for him to come forward on his own.
The greatest power of the empire was the superhumans.
When superhumans openly antagonized, the empire was divided.
It wasn’t good for the emperor who ruled the empire or the Wolf family who ran the underworld.
“Let’s do it in moderation. Among the nobles, how many have been favored by us?”
“Yes.”
The nobles ran to the emperor when they had legal issues to solve, and ran to Jeffrey when they had to solve illegal issues.
And Jeffrey didn’t get paid for them all.
In this way, I put grace on it and used it whenever I needed it.
“Then he kept using the love gel and said nothing was wrong with his body. Get into the emperor’s ears. To make your voice grow louder and louder.”
To put it mildly, Demeter knew what to do.
Provoking the nobles, they make them say with one voice that the emperor has done too much.
Commoners also attack at gambling halls and brothels.
If one person stood up and refuted the emperor’s order, it would be treason, but if the whole empire spoke at once, it would be advice.
In addition, the two superhumans, the Red Dragon Ball and the Dark Ball, rebelled against the emperor at the same time.
It would not be easy for the emperor to ignore this.
“Yes, I will proceed.”
“Okay. I can almost smell that I’m behind you. Let the emperor make his own political decisions.”
“All right.”
