The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 104 (2)

"Anyway, congratulations on becoming an official noble. Your siblings must be very happy."

"I need to tell my siblings this news as soon as possible."

Rockefeller quickly picked up a pen and spoke.

"Anyway, since it's come to this, I think it's better to bring my youngest sister Lucia over to our side. It's not just about men, but women too, that they need to play with good water to attract good fish. We can't have our pretty youngest sister matching eyes with a stern guy in a remote countryside."

Rockefeller's love for his sister was just a passing remark from Ricardo's perspective.

"I'm sorry to bother you while you're busy, but was there any other news in the letter from the royal palace?"

When Ricardo asked Rockefeller, who was busy writing letters to his siblings, Rockefeller stopped his pen and looked up.

'What did he hear?'

"There was. The letter said that the 1st Prince will be coming soon."

The news that the Yormungand Revolutionary Army had recently been completely suppressed had already spread widely.

With the suppression of the revolutionaries, the 1st Prince's attention naturally had to be focused on the crown war, and Ricardo, who had been listening to various news for that reason, asked Rockefeller just in case.

"It'll be tiring in many ways. When is His Highness the 1st Prince coming?"

"It's not specified, but he's said to be coming soon."

"Is that so?"

"What about the advertisement to find Lee Han?"

The most important thing when the 1st Prince came was to have a knight to protect him.

So when Rockefeller asked about the job advertisement to find Lee Han, Ricardo calmly replied.

"I've spread the ads everywhere Lee Han might go. If he's interested in magic stones, he'll surely come to us."

At that, Rockefeller asked.

"Are the magic stones prepared?"

Getting the magic stones?

It was all about the money.

"You don't have to worry too much about the magic stones. We're gathering as much as we can from here and there, so we'll be able to gather enough for the amount Lee Han wants."

"The problem is Lee Han..."

It had been quite some time since they had spread advertisements all over the continent.

It was impossible for Lee Han not to see the advertisement.

'He'll definitely come if he needs magic stones...'

But they couldn't be sure.

The hardest person to predict among the characters in the novel was the protagonist, Lee Han.

'Since he's been trapped in the Infinite Library for a long time, moving with long-distance magic would be nothing to him.'

"I thought he would appear in front of me right away, but there's no news. It seems he wasn't that interested in magic stones."

At that moment, Ricardo subtly scanned the empty surroundings as if he had felt something.

Rockefeller couldn't sense the change, but Ricardo could detect it to some extent.

'The mana residue suddenly became dense. Could it be?'

"I feel like someone has come down there."

Rockefeller expressed doubt.

"A guest?"

"Yes, I'll go check and come back."

While Ricardo went downstairs for a moment.

Rockefeller stared intently at the stairs that Ricardo had gone down.

Who had come, and who was it?

Maybe?

At that moment.

A voice he had never heard before came from Rockefeller's side.

"You were looking for me openly."

He looked surprised and saw someone sitting there as if they had been there all along.

It was his first time seeing the face, but judging from the hairstyle, eyes, and the unique atmosphere that person had.

'Lee Han.'

It seemed that he was indeed the protagonist of the novel.

"I thought you were a banker."

Clothes stained with blood and dirt.

A sword full of ominous energy.

And the owner of black hair and black eyes that didn't quite fit in this world.

Rockefeller opened his mouth, pretending to be surprised.

'I did expect it to some extent, I wasn't that surprised.'

"Wh-who are you?"

At that question, the unidentified man answered rudely.

"Who am I? You've been looking for me, and now you're asking who I am?"

"Could it be... Lee Han?"

The corner of the unidentified man's mouth curled up.

"You guessed right. Well, I'm the only one with black hair here, so it wouldn't be hard to guess my identity."

Rockefeller glanced towards the stairs and Lee Han shook his head.

"If you're looking for the assistant I was with, he's probably chasing something irrelevant on the street right now."

From Lee Han's perspective, the man who had been with Rockefeller was quite annoying.

"So you don't need to look that way. He's probably happily chasing my welcome by now."

Lee Han paused.

"What's the reason you're looking for me with the bait of magic stones?"

After finishing his words, Lee Han took off his boots and shook off the dirt inside.

It was a natural action since he didn't need to be on guard around him.

Seeing Lee Han like this, Rockefeller thought.

'He doesn't seem to be on guard at all. Well, it can't be helped.'

He was just an ordinary person who couldn't even handle a sword, let alone magic.

So it was understandable that Lee Han's guard was down.

"I was honestly surprised when you suddenly appeared like this. As you can see, I'm just an ordinary person, so if you come like that, I'll be startled."

The banker, who had been stuttering with surprise just moments ago, suddenly became relaxed, and Lee Han glanced at him with a cocked head.

"However, since I called you, it's natural that you would come like this. There's no need to drag out the story by calling a busy person like you, so I'll get straight to the point."

The tense Rockefeller continued with the rest of his words, now nowhere to be found.

"I'll give you as many magic stones as you want, so please take care of my escort for a while."
