Chapter 51 (2/2)

“Of course, since we need a larger population for the estate to survive. However, we only have enough to get by…”

At one time they heard that the young Lord was in possession of more than 100,000 pesos.

However, they were later informed that the funds were used to prepare for the construction of a Magic Tower, and the rest of the money was spent to buy the new Gigant.

“I wish the money was spent on the estate.”

“I’ll grant you that wish!”

The doors of the room opened as if he was waiting for Dixon to end his words. Luke went in.

Walking toward the center of the room, he dropped something on them.

“That… That…!”

“That… isn’t that gold?”

The rectangular objects placed on the table shined brightly.

The retainers were looking at the objects with eyes wide opened.

Even though the gold’s size wasn’t that huge, it looked like they would be around 10 kilograms.

“Where did all of this came from?”

Dixon’s eyes went wide.

It was common knowledge that gold bars of that size would only be found in the Imperial banks and in the vaults of the royal families.

“Where it came from is not important. Can you really do what you said?”

“Yes, of course.”

“You guys too?”

“Ye, yes.”

All the retainers nodded their heads, and Luke took them to the Devil’s castle.

“Young Lord, why are we near the Devil’s…?”

“Do you guys remember when I bought the building materials from the Hades Co. the other day?”

“Yes, you thought that the Devil King’s Castle was too old and thought of repairing it.”

“That is true. I was looking around to see what needs repairing when I found a strange a box in the ground beneath the fallen wall.”

“A box?”

“Yes, I don’t know why, but I wanted to open the box. When I did, it was a box of gold and silver bars.”

“Ugh!”

He wasn’t sure how big the box was, but Dixon thought that it would cost at least tens of thousands of pesos.

The gold bar that the young Lord had shown them was over 3,000 pesos.

“Quickly, show it to us quickly, young Lord.”

At the urge from Dixon, Luke took them behind the castle.

There was a half-finished wall and the ground beneath it was dug.

“Where is the box?”

“It is hidden here.”

Luke brought a big, heavy box from one side.

The antique box was filled with gold ingots and silver bars that looked just like the gold Luke had shown earlier.

“Oh, oh my god!”

“Finance officer, how much will this be?”

One of the retainers looked into the box and wondered.

Dixon replied with a trembling voice.

“I think it will be at least 100,000 pesos.”

“… 100,000 pesos!”

Their surprise didn’t end there.

Luke smirked and said,

“Three boxes are buried.”

“Huuu!?”

300,000 pesos was close to three years of Rakan estate’s budget.

And it was buried in the ground!

“Who could have…?”

“Who? The Devil King Saymon might have secretly buried it for his military money?”

The box was marked with the golem legion’s crest that was used by Saymon.

And the box, with gold and silver in it, had traces of soil that looked like it was buried for many years along with mold and rust.

Perhaps Saymon had buried it for himself or his family for later use.

However, that wasn’t possible because he had died in the hands of Rakan.

The retainers believed the words of Luke very strongly.

The Rakan’s smiled.

Honestly, the gold and silver bars were made in the workshop the other day, and the boxes were taken out of the workshop and rusted.

The mold was made using the sample from the lab.

“Can we use this?”

“Isn’t it natural for a winner to loot the losers? And from the standpoint of the Estates, it is our time to take over!”

At the question from a retainer, Dixon explained.

“You, you think so? But what if it had the curse of the Devil…?”

“Shut up! Then we will overcome the curse! Things we don’t know are scary!”

There was a proverb that gold changes people.

It meant that man would surely fall for material things, and Dixon just changed sides from one to another.

He was dying inside every day because of the financial crisis in their estate, and now, he was overflowing with courage like a warrior.

“Not just the Devil, even if the devil’s grandfather comes, I won’t give this back. This here is now the Rakan’s!”

‘This guy here has a harsh side!’

The warlock, formerly called as the Devil, admired Dixon.

At any rate, the discovery of military funds hidden by the Devil in the past made the retainers accept the refugees.

And even though Luke didn’t ask them to, the retainers began to accept them.

The plan, of course, was to be more in line with what he talked about with Reina.
