"Well… that is certainly interesting. I was already expecting you to say something like that, as for the money that you have borrowed. I already knew that you were going to use it to build a secret army or something as simply 1 Billion is simply too much as you can build an entire Kingdom with that already. But then again… isn't that money still too much even if you are going to use some to rebuild your Kingdom?" Yuki just asked a simple question as she looked at Skadi as if she was peering into her soul.
"Yes, I know that it might be a bit too much. But that is because of what you said, if what you said is true and the parents of those deceased babies really came to get revenge then we are in bigger trouble. That is not even adding the fact that we became extremely vulnerable to other kingdoms as well as the terrorists of my Kingdom. This is precisely why I want a large amount of money to hire the best of the best." Skadi answered with difficulty as this was kind of an embarrassing fact.
Despite being the strongest Kingdom in Nightingale, they also have one of the most corrupt and also one of the weakest armies at the same time. The only reason that they are considered the strongest Kingdom is because of their Cultivators, they are also of course the richest Kingdom. But they don't have the largest amount of Army, because what they did was simply hire the strongest and they didn't care about the number, so they will still lose if they get overwhelmed.
Yuki already knew this as she had read it with the books that she borrowed from the library and when she read it, she just couldn't help but laugh at it due to how stupid this Kingdom was, and what she didn't expect was that that idea came from Skadi herself more than 300,000 years ago.
"Well… it seems that you are finally reaping what you sow, eh? Maybe focusing on numbers and not geniuses might have prevented this. For me, it doesn't matter if they are a Genius or not, as long as they are a hard worker, that is enough for me. Finding a person who will train till the very end, die for their Kingdom, and fight without backing down, is pure Talent for me. That is harder to find than a Genius who is afraid to die on the battlefield." Yuki was not afraid as she belittled Skadi with her choices in the past.
When Skadi heard it, she simply sighed as she already expected this outcome to come out of Yuki knowing her personality. But hearing it was like a stab in her heart because now that she has gotten older, she realized how much of a big mistake she made in that time, and now she was regretting it even more knowing what kind of state her Kingdom is in.
"Grandma… how are you even going to hire people? Don't tell me that you are going to hire mercenaries, because that is just a bad idea. You should Cultivate people and raise them to what Yuki just said because it would be better for the future of our Kingdom." Kurokami couldn't help but raise her voice as she looked at her Grandmother.
It still hurt her to think that her Kingdom needed to borrow money just to survive and go on and to think that they needed to borrow such a large amount of money, but the worst thing for her was that the money that her Grandmother borrowed came from Yuki. It just makes them feel immense guilt because she also feels that she needs to pay some of that debt.
"No need to look at me like that, Kurokami. My money is your money, but it's different when it comes down to your Family. Just like with this matter, your Family is the one who needs money not you. Plus… if those bastards didn't bully you, maybe I'm more inclined to give them money or at least just charge them 3% or even just 1% because I'm generous. But knowing what they did to you, I'm not going to do that. I was even being nice because I was thinking of charging them 35%, but since I'm in a good mood after eating your breakfast, I decided not to." Yuki calmly said as she stood up before hugging Kurokami from behind.
"I know… but I just feel guilty. That amount of money is simply too much, you know. I know that you have successful business all over the lands, but 1 Billion would still gotta hurt you right?" Kurokami said as she held Yuki's arms as a support as she couldn't even look at her in the eyes.
"Like I said Kurokami, you don't have to worry. It seems that those two have already told you about them. But let me tell you this, 1 Billion Purple Gold is nothing in my eyes, if it was a Trillion then it would be a different matter. But just know this, out of my 10 businesses, all of them give me more than 1 Billion per month, and it just even keeps getting higher." Yuki just laughed as she carried Kurokami's body and held her in her arms before giving her forehead a kiss.
"Yes, I'm flexing. I mean it's not like every day I flex my wealth to anyone. The only people who know this fact are those two, as well as Asakura and Aira since they are the ones who handle most of it." Yuki just laughed as she looked at Fumiko for a second and when she saw her shaking her head, she laughed even more.
"Just let her be sister Kurokami. Because she is actually right, she doesn't gloat about her wealth like anyone, I guess just let her have this one." Fumiko just decided to ignore Yuki who was clearly happy that was finally able to gloat for once with her money because this was not something she does. But at this moment, it just seems like the right moment.
"You're telling me that you're making more than 10 Billion Purple Gold a month? How the fuck is that possible? How do you even do that?" Skadi asked with her jaws dropped as she was not expecting this revelation.
She already had an idea that Yuki was rich after seeing her house because it was different and the strange vehicles that she saw that the three were using. The quality and complexity of all of them just blew her mind every time she saw it and even no matter how hard she tried to look at it to understand what it was, she couldn't.
"Well… I can't really answer that. Because that only happened because it was me, I'm the only one who can do that~" Yuki said arrogantly without even breaking a smile as she calmly placed Kurokami back on the chair again.
"Anyway… Your favor, I'll do it in one condition. If you say yes then come see me later and I will tell you what I want, it's kind of a private matter. I know, I'm sorry you two, but what I want is something you wouldn't want to know, don't worry though, I'm not asking for any woman~" Yuki simply chuckled as she looked at the two, but both of them just nodded their head as they immediately understood her.
"What? That is unfair, if I say yes now and what you want is something unreasonable, then how do you expect me to recover from that?" Skadi questioned as she felt that this deal was not fair.
"Well… it's not like I'm the one who is asking for a favor, it's on you. You can still refuse and find another person who can make that Magic Circle. I'm not going to lose anything anyway." Yuki shrugged it off like it was nothing as she then tapped the table and destroyed it in an instant.
