Chapter 14 Is your thing made of gold?



"I am very sorry that such a thing could happen in the capital. I will compensate you for all your losses today in the name of Du Chloe."

"Please take stock of the losses of these items, and if there are any left, I will buy them all."

"Oh?"

Hearing Erica's generous remarks, Lia cupped one hand to her chest and touched her face with the other, a smile on her face.

Du Chloe's ability to win people over is ingrained in her very being; she truly deserves to be the daughter of a duke.

Although she is only seventeen years old.

"Miss Erica, let me confirm, are you really going to compensate me for my losses?"

"You should know that the price is not cheap."

Before Lia could respond, Erica had already summoned her maid and was ready to pay.

Lia smiled as she read out the price:

"One thousand Georgies."

These losses, a thousand Girona?

To the average person, this is already a very expensive price.

Erica, however, thought it was reasonable and gestured for the maid to take out the money.

Then, the other party added a sentence.

"One thousand Geelys, one bottle."

"What?"

The maid paused slightly as she took the money.

Erica felt like she had misheard.

Not only Erica, but even passersby found it extremely strange.

Are you kidding me? A bottle of potion costs a thousand Geore?

Is the water in your bottle made of gold?

The maid was slightly taken aback after calculating the price, and Erica also looked troubled.

This amount of money was just a month's allowance for Erica.

However, money shouldn't be spent so haphazardly.

Now she understood why Viktor was so hated.

He's a complete swindler!

Before she could respond, Liya said with some difficulty, "Although I really want you to compensate me, the head of the family said that each person can only buy two bottles a day, no more."

Is there such a rule?

Erica had never heard of selling things in limited quantities before.

Especially when it came time to offer compensation, the other party didn't even want more.

After a moment's thought, she realized that the head of the family the other party was referring to was clearly Victor.

However, Erica was quite interested in the fact that she could only buy two bottles.

Does this thing really have some magical effect?

So she picked up a bottle of medicine that was still intact and asked Leah:

"What are the effects of this?"

Lia smiled at her and explained:

"Used to restore magic power."

Erica could hardly believe it.

She had never heard of such a magical item.

She was tempted to buy a few to take home and study, but the scattered fragments made her hesitate.

However, Erica quickly made up her mind.

What's said is said, and besides, Viktor had taught her so much.

So what if she spends this money to pay compensation today? Consider it settling the score with Victor!

So she said it directly.

“I am Professor Victor Clevner’s student, and I cannot stand idly by as I watch his shop suffer losses.”

"I will compensate you with the cost of the medicine plus the cost of labor to produce it, but there is one condition."

Lia raised an eyebrow when she heard Erica's words.

"I want to buy all the remaining potions as well."

She cares more about anything related to magic than anyone else.

So she plans to take it back and study it.

Upon hearing this, Liya turned around and looked at the remaining goods on the shelf.

Only ten bottles remained intact.

Seeing this, she no longer cared about the rules Victor had mentioned and nodded.

Victor said he wasn't afraid of anyone figuring out the potion's ingredients because no one but him could make it.

Lia believed that it could only be made with some special magic, and since the other party had said so, she naturally wasn't worried about any trade secrets being revealed.

"Since Miss Erica is so generous, I will not refuse."

"Then, including labor and cost price, each broken bottle of potion will cost 300 Giorno, and the rest will remain at the original price."

Upon hearing this, Erica readily agreed.

"make a deal."

Lia handed the ten bottles of potion to Erica's maid, and reached out to accept the compensation and the normal cost of the potion from the maid.

Looking at Erica in front of her, Lia clicked her tongue in amazement and spent a fortune just because she was Victor's student?

I wonder what kind of bewitching potion that guy, who cut open her chest and whose entire body, including her heart, was given to this young lady.

After Erica left, Lia took out fifty more bottles of potion from the shop, still priced at one thousand Giorno, and continued to sell them.

When the passing monks saw her take out another fifty bottles, half of them fainted.

So you still have stock.

......

In the alley.

The thugs who had smashed the shop earlier were lying scattered in the corner, half-dead.

Their bodies bore various wounds, and the scene was extremely gruesome.

"Who ordered you to do this?"

The masked man wore a cloak, revealing only the upper half of his face and his emerald green pupils.

She held a wooden knife, pointing it at the head of the tattooed, burly man at the head.

He fell to the ground, his limbs broken.

The pain made him wish he could faint on the spot.

But the wooden knife hanging above his head still made him shout out in a panicked, hoarse voice.

"It's...it's Duke Reeves! It's Duke Reeves!"

He couldn't wait to reveal the mastermind behind it all, hoping to gain a chance of survival in front of the masked man.

Bang!

With a swing of the wooden sword, the tattooed burly man finally fainted, just as he had hoped.

Then, she grabbed the man's foot and dragged him away from the alley, step by step.
