Chapter 418 The Countess Borrows Money
423 chapter

"Borrow money?"

Lester was a little surprised when Lady Rose's words came out: "Master Countess, do you need to borrow money from me, a businessman, for your noble body?"

"Lester! Catherine borrowed money for her own use, so don't ask me anything else!"

Donald interjected from the side.

"That's right! Just borrow as much money as you have."

Oliver echoed.

"This……"

Lester looked embarrassed.

"What? You don't want to lend it to me?"

Dame Rose frowned slightly.

Lester was a little panicked: "No! That's definitely not the case! It's just the Baroness! I don't have any extra funds on hand now!"

"How is it possible! You are not the biggest businessman in Black Wolf City, but you can still rank among the top! You said you have no funds? Who would believe it!"

"Lester, you have to think about it carefully. Catherine will not borrow money from others easily. This is a big favor. If you don't grasp it yourself, don't regret it in the future!"

Several dandies, acting as losers, echoed beside him.

"Ugh!"

Lester sighed and said: "I really want to borrow it, but part of my money has been used to press goods, and the other money has been loaned by... the earl!"

"count?"

The three dandies including the countess all looked ugly.

"Later, Lord James also wanted to borrow money from me, but I had already lent it to the earl, and I ran out of money, but I didn't expect you, the countess, to borrow money too?"

Lester began to wonder as he spoke: "What happened so that the three adults wanted to borrow money?"

"It's none of your business! Alright Lester, let's go!"

Donald said something impatiently.

To the nobles, merchants are no more valuable than ants.

Lester left angrily.

Donald smiled bitterly and said, "Catherine, it seems that the earl and the city lord have already started! You seem to be a bit late!"

Catherine frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I can't give up, and continue to try my luck!"

Next, more businessmen came in one after another.

The Baroness is usually seen only by handsome men.

These businessmen are all local tyrants in Black Wolf City, but what about their appearance...

What a shame.

The Baroness made an exception and met so many ugly men in one day, but her purpose was actually very simple.

— Borrowing money.

Unfortunately, luck is not very good.

Every merchant claimed that he had no money, that the money had been borrowed by the count or the castellan.

"Mrs. Countess! I really have no money. If you don't believe me, you can go to the bank with me to check my account!"

A businessman bowed and knelt in front of the Countess.

"Don't you usually like to brag about your liking for the Countess after drinking? Why, when you need to do things for the person you like, you can't do anything?"

Edward sneered.

The businessman's face turned pale, and he said loudly, "Master Countess! Young masters! It's all my drunken nonsense, don't take it to heart!"

Oliver sneered: "Oh! So you don't like us Catherine?"

"How could it be! How could it be!"

The businessman's face turned even paler, and he said in a hurry.

Donald slammed the stool and stood up: "How dare you! You, a pariah, actually dare to care about our Catherine? Do you want to die? Do you want to be executed by the Nine Clan!"

As soon as these words came out, the businessman fell to the ground on the spot, trembling and screaming: "No! No! Please spare your life!"

Lady Catherine couldn't stand it anymore.

She waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't mess with him, since you have no money, just go."

"Thank you, Countess! Thank you, Countess!"

The businessman wept bitterly, thanked him, and walked away in a single row.

"Hey! Catherine! You are too soft-hearted. These treacherous merchants may have lent money to the earl and the city lord, but I don't believe they have no deposit at all!"

Donald shook his head with a sigh.

"I think so too! These guys are actually very rich and ruthless. They exploit civilians more ruthlessly than us! They must have hidden a lot of money in private!"

So did Edward.

Although the three of them are noble dudes, they basically don't bully common people.

Because bullying civilians is meaningless.

They like a challenge, and it's okay to deal with these businessmen.

Just now, they scared the businessman to tears with a few words.

This is strength.

Countess Rose shook her head: "It's meaningless to say these things. Have you met five businessmen today? We haven't borrowed any money. We're done."

The three dandies looked a little embarrassed.

Edward smiled bitterly and said: "Katherine, this is not good news! The three of us have spent all our private money, just to prepare for the auction for you... In terms of current financial resources, it is not at the same level as the earl and the city lord! "

Donald hammered his forehead: "And Catherine, you said that what happened after the auction is likely to happen! Our Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger but still refuses to team up. The Earl and City Lord James must be unhappy! No matter who they are. If we win, we may all be unlucky... Therefore, we must participate in this auction, and we can protect ourselves if we win..."

Oliver waved his hand and said: "How can we protect ourselves? We can't borrow money at all! We can only admit defeat!"

A few people talked about whether they were compatible or not, and they were very disappointed in their words.

Countess Rose frowned tightly.

To prepare for the auction.

She has been borrowing money these days.

She met with many small merchants and borrowed a little money, but the total amount was less than forty thousand gold coins.

I thought these big businessmen could contribute hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Unexpectedly, they were left with nothing and couldn’t borrow a penny!
If you guessed correctly, the land and army auctions will basically start with millions of gold coins.

With the baroness's current savings, it's basically useless.

"Ugh!"

The always cold baroness couldn't help but sigh resentfully when thinking about the future.

It was this sigh that made the three dudes feel even more distressed.

"I'm so incompetent!"

Donald patted his plump cheek in fear.

Edward smiled wryly: "When we founded the chamber of commerce, we said we wanted to make Catherine happy... Now we've been slapped in the face..."

Oliver gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to ask my father for money!"

"Don't go! How dare you go! Your father can't beat you to death!"

Donald scoffed.

"I'm going!"

Oliver was very stubborn and ready to leave.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "Uh... Your Lady, young masters, you seem to be short of money?"

Oliver stopped.

Donald stopped smoking.

Edward was taken aback.

Even the sighing countess looked at Li En in the corner together.

Uh……

Is there another person in our room?

Everyone was busy borrowing money this afternoon, and they didn't take Li En seriously at all, so much so that they forgot his existence.

Seeing him now, several people are inexplicable.

"Dugu Li, what do you mean by this? Do you have money to lend us?"

Donald asked.
