Disciple of Immortal

Episode 6 Pollock's Trap

"After gathering information based on this Fairy Feather for a while and listening to Mel's stupidity, I finally found out.This city is like a giant rat hunter bassami. "

Hmm, what's going on?

"Isn't that what Mel said when he was held up by a Pollock merchant to open a shop?It was a trap from there.He was deceived by a sweet word that Pollock's prime land was empty, and flew away with the wealth he had accumulated in the region. "

Rosemond talks as if he were stunned.

"That's why Mr. Wonz expected my talent!You gave me half of the initial cost! Half! "

Mel desperately excuses himself.

Wonz is apparently the merchant who called Mel.

"In return, all the land and buildings were at extraordinary prices?I thought you were a fool too. "

"But it's a prime ground for polo locks....."

Rosemond turned to me.

"In short, Wonz has been connected to property and land vendors from the beginning.He was a Pollock con artist who lifted the price from the source, succeeded absolutely, now that there was room, now that he would invest himself, stealing his cool judgment, and spreading an extrajudicial contract. "

Is there a scam in this Low Crow, too?

I underestimated the commercial city of Pollock.

It may be a rather dark city.

"At the same time, in this city, the Grid Chamber of Commerce handles almost all of the distribution.If I had to register with the Grid Chamber of Commerce, I would have been in a state of business with Roku, and of course Mel would have registered.However, in order to register from scratch, the Greed Chamber of Commerce must keep a large amount of money.In the event of an act that damages the credibility of the Chamber of Commerce, part of the amount shall be confiscated as compensation.This is supposed to be returned if the store continues for two years..... "

"... it's an unusual form of contract, but..."

"Simply put, even if the shop offered under this contract folds up within two years, all the money deposited will be confiscated for using the name of the Chamber of Commerce to do miscellaneous business.In other words, if we get out of business within two years, we can wind up all the money we deposit. "

I covered my face with my hands.

"On the other hand, Mel is running out of money for his initial investment with his deposit with the Greed Chamber of Commerce.Thankfully, the Grid Chamber of Commerce lends money to such merchants.I tried to deceive you with a complicated form of interest rates, but it was roughly five times the rate prescribed by the Manarak ordinance. "

... apparently using the money as collateral, and lending money at high interest rates to make it a geese character.

As far as I can tell, Wonz is a brilliant dealer in land from the property.

Of course, it is a major town in the Chamber of Commerce.

We're partnering with a variety of places to build a system that can efficiently take money from ducks.

"What's wrong, Kanata? You look pale. There's more."

"I don't want to hear anymore... I understand everything"

I got a headache just listening.

We might as well leave this city at once.

Walking through the gorgeous streets is going to ruin me.

"Hey, Ufufu, what about Mr. Rosmond?Kanata-san, I'm just saying that he's trying to intimidate us a little overtly. "

That's what Mel said and laughed, but his face was covered in cold sweat.

I want you to look at the reality, but I feel like I'm trying to do something about it.

Regardless of Pomera, even Philia, who usually smiles no matter what happens, has a cramped expression.

It was a small and difficult story, but I understand very well that it seems to be going to be a terrible thing.

"Wonz is kind enough to arrange a job opening in the Dark Zone for Mel when he goes bankrupt.Don't bother your local family. "

"I don't want to hear it anymore, so please stop..."

I casually lowered my head to Rosemond.

The Dark Zone heard from Rosemond earlier.

It is a slum of lawless zones created by the gap between rich and poor.

"What? But... it doesn't have much to do with the fact that this store isn't struggling...?"

"Hmm, there it is. Wonz's scams need to cost the initial investment and then promptly eject the land or property with the dumped value.Especially if you stay for more than two years, you will return the funds you deposited. "

"I mean...?"

"Originally, the Greed Chamber of Commerce had a number of provisions to tighten new ones in order for some supernatants to have a monopoly on profits.In other words, if you collide with a similar series of stores, you will definitely win over an existing store in a new store.Originally, there was a difference between visibility and scale.Wonz sees the "Fairy Feather", whose early movements were surprisingly good, and says to the shops around him, "The magic goods of this policy are profitable."

"Ah, yes... I understand about that, that's enough.Because when I hear it, I feel like I'm going to die. "

I interrupted Rosemond's story, which I was still talking about.

"It wasn't a good time!"

Mel immediately clasped his mouth.

"You're coming to a point where just being positive isn't going to help!"

If you don't see reality, you'll just fall and die by removing the ladder.

"You know what, Canata? Wonz's scams have gaps.It is his trick to fill up the initial investment with favorable conditions and throw him out.If we could just cover our disadvantages and stabilize our business, we could recover the initial investment, then take the first place, and let his nose shine.And if we succeed in building a position in this city, we will eventually have the opportunity to charge Wonz with fraud and officially kick him out of the Chamber of Commerce.It's like a dream story, but I think Mel actually has that kind of talent. "

Rosemond is so enthusiastic about me.

"Hey, Mr. Rosmond. Hehe, we're certainly a genius, and there's nothing to praise."

Mel blushes her face and scratches her cheeks.

"It doesn't matter what you think, Mr. Mel...."

"Don't you think it's disgusting to leave this situation alone?So, Kanata, I have a favor to ask you.Can you help me develop Mel's products instead of going to my Peach Dragon Town? "

"Product development...?"

"Are you an alien?If so... do you know one or two of these items that might sell in another world? "

I see... is that where the story of the Transformers connects?

It was meant to persuade me if I thought you were going to tell me some nasty stories in front of Mel.
