After his conversation with Felix, Nouflex returned to Ringo, who was still immersed in her work on the computer. Her eyes lit up as he approached, eager for her next orders.
"Ringo, I need you to accelerate the mining process. We'll need the resources soon, much sooner than I initially thought." Nouflex said.
Ringo nodded, her enthusiasm unwavering. "Understood, Master. I'll optimize the AI's operations and increase the mining rate. You'll have everything you need in no time."
As Ringo busied herself with the adjustments, Nouflex's mind drifted to a new idea that had begun to form during his conversation with Felix. The thought of transportation, specifically for the common folk, intrigued him.
'Creating a bus stations for very cheap prices...' Nouflex mused internally. 'Where forty people could travel at once in a single bus... That could revolutionize travel for the poor civilians within the city.'
The idea of providing a more accessible and affordable mode of transport appealed to him, not out of charity, but because of the potential influence and control it could grant him over the masses.
"For now I'll treat it as a test. The first phase of city buses... If it works, perhaps I'll expand it beyond the city, to other kingdoms."
As Nouflex watched Ringo get back to her tasks, his mind drifted to the conversation with Felix about banks—or rather, the absence of them in this world. The concept fascinated him, and he couldn't help but think about the potential power such an institution could offer in a place like this.
"Starting a bank in this world…" Nouflex thought to himself, a wicked grin slowly spreading across his face. "It would be like weaving a web, one that could ensnare not just individuals, but entire kingdoms."
He began to mentally dissect the power banks held in his previous world on Earth. 'Back on Earth, people thought they were free, free to earn, to spend, to live their lives how they wished. But the reality was different. Banks controlled them like invisible puppet masters. Savings accounts, loans, credit cards... all of these were just tools to keep people in a perpetual cycle of debt and dependence."
The more he pondered, the more he realized the potential here. "People would take out loans for homes, for businesses, for education—and in doing so, they essentially sold their future to the banks. Every paycheck, every financial decision, tied back to those institutions. They were trapped, enslaved by their own desire for more. And they didn't even realize it."
He could see it so clearly. 'In this world, without the concept of a bank, people hold onto their wealth physically such as gold, silver and jewels hoarding it in vaults, risking theft or ruin.
But if I were to introduce the idea of a bank here... A place where they could 'safely' store their wealth, where they could 'borrow' to build their dreams... I would control the very flow of money in this kingdom.'
His smile widened and turned darker. 'With that control, I could dictate the rise and fall of merchants, nobles, even rulers. Those who borrow would be bound to me, their lives and futures tied to the whims of interest rates and repayment schedules. They would have no choice but to obey, lest they lose everything.'
He recalled how, on Earth, even entire countries were at the mercy of financial institutions. 'Nations would take out massive loans for infrastructure, for defense, for trade. But with those loans came the chains, debt that could cripple economies, leaving entire populations in poverty while a select few prospered, those I woudl approve of.
Governments would bow to the banks, enacting policies that benefited them at the expense of their own people."
Nouflex's grin grew wider, almost feral. "I could replicate that here. Introduce the idea of a central bank, offer loans to nobles and kings, and slowly tighten my grip on their economies. Soon, they would be reliant on me for their wealth, for their power. And when the time came, I could pull the rug out from under them, leaving them desperate and dependent."
He imagined it, kingdoms begging for his favor, nobles scrambling to secure his financial backing, all while he sat at the center of it all, pulling the strings. The mere thought of it made him feel godlike, untouchable.
Ayanokoji who heard what his master said, intervened. "Indeed, having banks would give you complete control over the world. I truly is a genius idea!"
As the weight of his ambitious ideas started to settle on his mind, Nouflex couldn't shake off the concerns that came with them. Starting a bank wasn't as simple as just declaring it—it required resources, trust, and a network of influence. He needed people to believe in it, to put their wealth in his hands. But how could he convince a society that had never seen such an institution?
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as he mulled it over, the excitement of power now tempered by the cold reality of what it would take to build this vision.
"This idea is indeed genius" Nouflex admitted to himself and Ayanokoji. "But... it's not going to be easy. I'll need money, lots of it. And trust. Trust from people who've never even heard of a bank before. They'll think it's some sort of scam or trick."
His thoughts spiraled into the many hurdles he'd have to overcome.
Convincing nobles, ensuring security, gaining the backing of the kingdom it all seemed daunting. His brow furrowed, deep in thought.
Ayanokoji, who had been quietly observing Nouflex's troubled expression, stepped forward. "Master." He began, his voice calm yet confident. "I've already considered your concerns."
Nouflex glanced at him, intrigued but still skeptical. "Go on."
Ayanokoji's gaze was sharp, his mind already several steps ahead. "This is where Felix comes into play. His reputation in the kingdom is already well respected due to his achievements. We can leverage that. Felix will be the face of this bank, the one to introduce it to the king and convince him of its benefits.
He will show how profitable it would be for both him and the crown. Once this is done, people trust the king the most so everyone would accept such an idea."
Nouflex raised an eyebrow, slowly beginning to see where Ayanokoji was going with this. "Good idea, but I dont think really wise to entrust the king with somethings as big as a bank, what if he dies, or if he's betrayed or assasinated?"
A small, cunning smile appeared on Ayanokoji's face. "Ecaxtly, this is why instead of putting the king's personal name 'Bertrand' as Felix's partner, we'll use his title, just 'King of Daloria.' That way, no matter who sits on the throne, they'll be bound to the terms of the agreement. The bank will always have the kingdom's backing, regardless of any changes in leadership."
The brilliance of the plan began to dawn on Nouflex. Ayanokoji was not only securing their control over the bank but also ensuring that their influence would remain untouchable, even if the political landscape shifted.
"But what if the current king resists? Or worse, tries to take full control?" Nouflex questioned, always cautious of potential threats.
Ayanokoji's expression remained calm. "That's precisely why we use Felix. His loyalty to us will ensure that we hold the true power behind the scenes. The king will be a partner in name only, a puppet of the system we've built. And should you ever decide to overthrow the kingdom and claim the throne for yourself..." Ayanokoji's eyes glinted with a dark, calculating light.
"You'll find that the bank is already yours to control, as Felix partner is not 'Bertrand', it actually is 'The king of Daloria'."
Nouflex leaned back, digesting the plan. It was brilliant, ruthless, and perfectly aligned with his goals. A slow, sinister smile crept across his face as he realized just how deep their control could go.
Ringo and Fubuki, who had been listening intently, was impressed by Ayanokoji's foresight. She knew her master had grand ambitions, but even she hadn't anticipated the depth of this scheme. Her loyalty and excitement only grew stronger as she saw how they would reshape this world to their will.
Nouflex nodded, fully convinced. "You've outdone yourself, Ayanokoji. With Felix as our pawn and this plan in motion, we'll have the kingdom and eventually the entire continent under our control."
Ayanokoji's lips curled into a small smile. "I aim to serve, Master."
"Great." With the meeting nearing its end, Nouflex turned his gaze towards Fubuki, who had been silently standing by his side throughout the conversation.
Her eyes met his. "Fubuki, your mission, for now, is to accompany me and guarantee my security."
Fubuki's expression remained calm, yet a subtle smile formed on her lips. Protecting Nouflex was a task she relished. To her, there was no greater honor than to be the shield and sword for the one she served.
"Understood, Master. Your safety is my priority." She replied, her voice laced with both confidence and reverence.
Nouflex leaned back in his chair, thinking over his decision. In this world of unpredictable dangers, where power could shift in an instant, he knew that even with his newfound strength, an extra layer of security was not just a precaution but a necessity. Fubuki's powers and her unwavering loyalty were the perfect tools to ensure his survival.
"Perfect. It was everything for now, you may leave. As for you Fubuki please stay I still need you." Nouflex said as Koji and ringo walked out of he room.
Fubuki stood there with a smile on her face because she was with her lord even longer.
"I am satisfied with your work up until now Fubuki, you were excellent and I would like to congratulate you for this dedication." Nouflex said, making Fubiki grin in joy and pride.
"Im glad to hear that my lord, my existance is to serve you." She replied.
Nouflex stood up walking in rather a fast pace toward Fubuki until his face was mere centimiters away from hers.
"I got to say, the way you killed those trash simply because I ordered you was quite... arousing." Nouflex whispered in her ear while taking hold of her waist.
Fubuki did not resist her master's physical contact, instead his deep voice resonating in her ears, his warm breath on her skin as well as his manly grip on her waist made her face blush and her breath became a mess.
"P-please my lord, use me however you see fit. I-im here for that." She could feel her own body temperature go up.
"Hmm, it is exactly what I was thinking of. I did find some other uses for you other than my bodyguard. You could also become my personal bitch, right?"
Without letting her answer, Nouflex took her from the shin and his lips connected with hers as they started making a passionate kiss. This startled Fubuki but she did not want to embarass herself during her first time with her master so she removed her shocked expression and kissed him back with equal passion.
Nouflex seemed to dominate this fight as his tongue always ended up on top of hers, licking it with pleasure.
They continued this for one minute until they almsot ran out of breath, Fubuki felt as if she was dreaming as she wished for this to last forever.
As time went on, she would drown more and more in lust both from the kiss and from her master's touch invasing her large chest on top of her thin dress, making her lower lips wet from all those fluids leaking, as it started falling down her tights.
However, Nouflex picked up on that as he rubbed a little drop from her tight licking it on his finger. "Tastes really good~" He teased her with a smile.
'It truly is the best day of my life.' Fubuki thought, fucking with her handsome master... She couldn't wish for something better than this.
