The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 478  Borrowing money

"You…" Miconia was startled; she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

After all, she was depending on Lathel to be able to establish roots in Karol. Besides... she didn't think he would make unreasonable demands.

Finally, she fell silent.

But Tinryss was different; she looked at Lathel as she looked at Lathel, like she wanted to see through his mind.

A moment later, she smiled and said: "Okay. For me, no enemy or friendship lasts forever. Only interests can connect us together."

"However, I hope the benefits you are about to discuss will be enough to satisfy me, Lathel."

Lathel nodded, took three things out of his space bag, and placed them on the table.

In order, there was a small rectangular box about the size of a hand, an extremely beautiful glass vase, and finally a glass bottle, about 30 cm high.

"These three things will completely change the current business landscape of this empire."

Hearing Lathel's words, Miconia and Tinryss looked towards the three things he had just placed on the table, then looked back at him.

Tinryss tilted her head and said: "Lathel, I don't know what these three things are; however, it is very difficult to change the business situation and dominate the market in this empire."

"You must know who is holding the economic lifeblood of this empire."

"Of course I know; it's Amleth." Lathel nodded slightly and said.

"Do you know how vast her power and economic potential are?" Tinryss frowned and asked.

Lathel shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I can guess that it is very huge, enough to drown all other merchants in this empire."

"Ah! So you think you can win her over with just these three goods?" Tinryss covered her mouth and smiled contemptuously.

Lathel continued to shake his head: "Of course it's impossible; however... I have the trump card to defeat her. At the very least, I can push her out of the Empire's market." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Oh! Can I hear a little about that plan in advance?" Tinryss shrugged and asked.

Lathel smiled: "No, this is my trump card. Not everyone can hear my plan."

"So, how can I trust you?" Tinryss frowned as she looked at Lathel with a bit of murderous intent.

"You have no way back now, Tinryss. Do you think Amleth will allow you to run the Spring Palace easily?" Lathel said, smiling.

"In a while, after the Empress of this Empire issues a complete ban on the prostitute business, how will you survive here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tinryss frowned and said uncomfortably: "The business of prostitutes and brothels is extremely normal; how can the Queen Mother prohibit it?"

Lathel just looked at Tinryss with a mysterious smile, then put the three things on the table into his space bag, stood up, and said: "Good, then... you try to wait and see."

Tinryss tilted her head and said: "Hahaha... Lathel, if the Queen really forbids it, I will be willing to be your subordinate."

"Hopefully, by then, you can keep your promise." Lathel glanced at Tinryss, smiled, and spoke confidently. He looked back at Miconia and asked: "What about you?"

Miconia shrugged and replied: "Like I said, if you can help me earn a large profit, I am willing to be your subordinate."

"Good!" Lathel smiled and said: "In less than three days, you will see the results."

After he finished speaking, he left. Miconia did not want to stay here for long, so she immediately left with Lathel.

However, Tinryss was different. Seeing Lathel's confident appearance, she felt curious. She rubbed her chin while muttering: "Could it be that he knew something was about to happen?"

"Impossible! The business of prostitutes and brothels has existed for a long time; although this empire ostensibly prohibits it, it still leaves a loophole for this form of business to exist."

"So… why is he so confident? Is it because he wants to show off and make me worry so that I will quickly agree to cooperate with him and become his subordinate?"

Tinryss suddenly licked her lips, her face showing a bit of interest: "It's worth looking forward to... Let's see what you can do, Lathel."

…

Outside, Lathel was about to climb into the cab when a familiar voice rang out behind him: "Lathel!"

Miconia quickly walked to his side, her face carrying an expectant look: "Did you forget anything?"

Lathel smiled and said: "Of course not; however, you need to wait two more days."

"Two more days, what do you mean…" Miconia remembered what he had just said to Tinryss. Three days later, it seemed that the Empress would issue a strict ban on brothel business.

"No, you misunderstood." Lathel shook her head and said: "Your case is different from Tinryss. Two days later, I will meet the Queen, and then I can give you the most accurate plan."

Miconia heard that and nodded slightly. She sighed and said: "This... Lathel, can you..."

She wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips tightly, then swallowed her words. Her face turned red, then turned her head away: "Nothing... sorry for bothering you."

"Do you want to borrow money?"

Hearing Lathel's question, Miconia was startled and stopped walking. She slowly turned her head to look at him with an embarrassed expression: "Sorry, I… can I borrow some from you? Wait! How did you know I needed to borrow money?"

Lathel did not answer, he just waved his hand. Akna who was standing next to him, took out a small notebook, and began reading: "The amount of gold coins that Miconia still has in reserve is 170 million gold coins. However, Miconia had to pay more than 100 million gold coins to the families holding her relatives."

"Besides, her auctioned lot four days ago was robbed; the loss was huge, and she had to pay more than 200 million gold coins in compensation."

"Miconia has sold almost everything in the Auction Centre to pay off debt; however, there is still a shortage of 30 million gold coins."

"The family that started the war that destroyed Miconia's family demands an additional 50 million gold coins."

"That's why... it can be said that her current situation is extremely dangerous. If she doesn't have at least 80 million gold coins, I'm afraid..."

Akna did not say more, that was enough to clearly know Miconia's outcome.

But at this moment, Miconia was no longer embarrassed but surprised, her face showing disbelief: "How do you know that information?"

You must know that she has never told anyone the information Akna just uttered. Of course, except for the information that Miconia's relatives were detained by other families.

However, the fact that she owes money is something that only a few people know.

How did Akna, a servant of Lathel, know that?

"You don't need to know why I know that information." Lathel smiled and said: "I just want to ask you one thing, is that information... accurate?"

Miconia pursed her lips, then nodded with difficulty: "That's right... I... I'm having a bit of financial difficulty, I will..."

"If you want, I can…" She said this as she reached up with a trembling hand and unbuttoned a button.

"Heh?!" However, her movements had to stop because Lathel's hand immediately grabbed her wrist.

"I don't need you to do that." Lathel sighed, shook her head, and said: "I will lend you 100 million gold coins. Temporarily stabilise the situation at the auction centre first."

"Currently, you do not need to operate the auction centre; all activities must stop."

"As for the criminals and black markets inside your area, just leave them alone; we will deal with them later."

Miconia was startled when she heard Lathel's words. She raised her head to look at him, her eyes wet: "You... you really don't need me? Is it because I'm not beautiful?

"No…" Lathel shook her head: "You and I are working together. If you have trouble, of course I will help."

"Besides... I only lent you that money. Later, you have to pay it back to me."

Lathel spoke as he took out her ID card, Miconia also knew what he was planning to do, she also took out her ID card.

After the transaction was completed, Miconia couldn't help but let her tears flow out in two small streams: "I... I will definitely pay you back."

Lathel patted Miconia on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry. For now, please take care of your family first. Do you know why I easily lent you 100 million gold coins without knowing when you would pay them back?"

Miconia raised her head, tears streaming down her puzzled face. She lightly shook her head, signifying her ignorance.

"Because…" Lathel said: "A person who does not abandon their loved ones under any circumstances is a trustworthy person."

"I don't want to know what danger your family has been in; however, in moments like this, you are still willing to put down your ego and arrogance, which is extremely precious."

The words Lathel said came from his heart.

On Earth, he was an orphan, who grew up in the loneliness and coldness of the world. That's why he dreams of having a real family, a warm and happy family.

He held on to his wife because he did not want the happy family he thought of to be broken.

He admires people who have a happy family, and he also deeply respects people who, no matter the circumstances, protect their family.

Lathel looked at Miconia with admiration and respect. He felt that although this girl spoke a bit arrogantly, her heart was still clear.

Having finished speaking, he did not wait for Miconia to answer but immediately entered the car compartment and immediately left.

Miconia watched the carriage leave, with countless mixed emotions.

For the first time, after so many years, there was someone who believed and helped her without any hidden agenda.

At this moment, Miconia felt… as if she were not alone.

'Stupid.'
