Protecting Elaina behind her, Weiwei, who thought she was her elder sister, always subconsciously protected Elaina, who was younger than her.
The vigilant look was like looking at a bad guy, which made Stanford a little unhappy. He had always been playing the role of a relatively kind businessman, but he seemed to have no good feelings in the other party's heart.
"We meet again, Miss Weiwei. I think you have not forgotten what day it is today?"
Ignoring Weiwei's unhappy expression, Stanford had the same smile on his face as always, which was called hypocritical by Elaina.
Weiwei didn't say anything, but just looked at the other party coldly. She didn't react to what day it was at first, but after seeing Stanford's face, she instantly understood what the other party was doing.
"Let me remind you that today is the last day for the orphanage to pay its debts. Although I don't want to force the children left by the kind old nun, I still have to take back the 100 gold coins."
The hypocritical attitude can only be described as disgusting. Elaina really wants to tear off the other party's hypocritical face.
"Of course, if Miss Weiwei still can't come up with 100 gold coins in a short time, I can still give you a few more days. But according to the rules, there will be extra interest for overdue repayment. I hope you can understand."
Although pretending to be friendly, the superior and confident expression on Stanford's face still exposed his true nature.
Presumably he really thinks that the orphanage cannot come up with a huge sum of 100 gold coins. Knowing this, he still urges in this way. This is not just a twisted personality.
"No need, I'll give it back to you now."
Weiwei obviously didn't like this kind of man. Although she was reluctant to give up the platinum coins that Elena had earned at her death, she had no choice but to hand them over for the peace of the orphanage.
"I'm sorry, but the most important thing for a businessman is to follow the rules. If possible... what did you say?"
Stanford was still holding up his self-righteous head, almost pointing his nose at others, and the words he had already thought of were coming out of his mouth.
But thinking back to what Weiwei had just said, the expression on his face suddenly froze, revealing an unbelievable expression. He even wanted to rub his ears, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Weiwei didn't want to talk to such a man, so she turned around and walked towards her room. The platinum coin was hidden in her pillow by her, and now she had to go and get it.
Looking at Weiwei's back that was getting farther and farther away, Stanford felt unprecedentedly itchy. He wanted to go and see in person where Weiwei could get so much money.
But just after taking a few steps forward, an unexpected figure blocked his way. Elena put down his backpack and put his right hand on the hilt of the dagger, staring at him unhappily.
As if he would pierce the head of the person in front of him with the dagger in his hand if he got one step closer, the momentum he exuded was quite terrifying.
"Who told you to stop us? Get out of our way!"
The slave woman who was as confident as Stanford at the beginning couldn't help but quarrel when she saw Elena blocking her way, without the gentleness and kindness she had when she came to communicate a few days ago.
This gave Elena a feeling that this woman was speaking for Stanford, speaking for him the vicious words in his heart that might affect his personality.
Elena didn't respond, but just held his weapon tightly. He wouldn't joke with such a person in front of him.
If the other party breaks in by force, it will be considered as trespassing. At this time, Elena's attack will not be considered a violation of the rules. As long as the other party is not killed, but only disabled or blinded in one of the other party's eyes, the Kingdom of Sorens will judge Elena as a legitimate defense.
Even if Elena is the debtor and is suspected of killing the creditor to escape the debt.
Stanford and the slave woman obviously know this, and they did not do anything more extreme in the face of Elena's obstruction.
Or they simply don't have the courage. Being stared at by Elena's golden eyes, they feel a pressure from the bottom of their hearts, as if they are facing the pressure of a superior race.
In this way, maintaining a subtle atmosphere, Weiwei quickly came back with the platinum coin.
Looking at the two parties in confrontation, her face was a little moved, but soon she changed to a serious expression and threw the platinum coin in her hand.
Stanford subconsciously caught the flying object, opened his palm and took a closer look, and the dazzling platinum coin exuded a different light.
"What is this?!"
"This is a platinum coin. Don't tell me that a businessman like you, Mr. Stanford, has never seen this kind of currency."
Weiwei said bluntly, and Stanford certainlyHe knew platinum coins, but he never dreamed that he would get platinum coins from an orphanage in a dilapidated church.
Even for a businessman like him, platinum coins are quite rare. After all, he doesn't have too much property to exchange all of them for platinum coins used for higher-end business transactions.
"Impossible! This must be counterfeit. How can orphans like you get platinum coins? Or they must have been stolen from others!"
The slave girl on the side shouted with her eyes wide open. Like Stanford, she couldn't believe that platinum coins would come from this orphanage.
At the same time, the slave girl was the one who least wanted to see the orphanage repay its debts. After all, Stanford had been immersed in the joy of getting the orphanage these days, and he hadn't abused her recently.
It can be said that she had a relatively comfortable life. Although she had to be humble every day at home, she could still be proud of others with her identity as a merchant's wife when she went out.
But if the orphanage repays the debt, Stanford will not be able to take the orphanage into his pocket, and his plan will be shattered.
If this happens, Stanford will be furious, and he will definitely take his anger out on her.
She really doesn't want to experience physical pain again. Now she must expose the "trick" of the orphanage and prove that the platinum coin is fake.
"Please pay attention to your words, madam. This money was earned by my Elaina in legitimate means, and it is definitely not fake. If you have any doubts, you can go to the Adventurer's Guild to check the accounts. There will be detailed records there to prove that the source of this money is normal!"
Weiwei said very unhappily. She was more angry that the other party said that the money earned by Elaina was not legitimate than that the other party was unwilling to believe her.
"Who knows what you little beasts did? Even if it's true, you two must have used your bodies to deceive some rich man, and the other party gave it to you!"
The slave woman was obviously a little angry, pointing at Weiwei's head and scolding her, without any of her original reserve and elegance.
However, in the face of her rude behavior, she was greeted with a slap in the face with all her strength and without mercy.
