My Little Sister Cute Outside, But Yandere Inside!
Chapter 25 - The Merchant Robbing Technique

The main requirement of being a ruler is to understand the gluttony and nature of man. Because by understanding both, all problems that come from human feelings can be overcome easily.

An example is the robbers who call themselves merchants.

Thanks to yesterday's incident and the vehicle my son built. We have great achievements to prevent the invasion of hungry dragons. The incident seemed to lure their greedy noses to get the dragon scales at a cheap price.

Their arrival is easy to guess. The report I got from the adventurers says that the dragon scales we hunt have very good quality. Killing a dragon without damaging many layers of dragon scales was indeed very difficult, which was what caused the decline in the quality of the dragon scales to occur.

But..

Facing their greed is quite easy to fight.

I had sent Sebastian to bring the merchants into the vacant waiter's room and give them a little service to stay comfortable in our residence.

I have to talk them out to set sales targets. Report coming in from Karl, he needed at least 1,000,000 gold coins to remake our residence and supply some security weapons inside.

I don't know since when he had such a crazy idea, but with the vehicle he made it makes me very sure he still has another crazy idea in his head.

Without wasting much more time, I entered our former butler's room.

In front of me was a fat merchant. Each merchant has one characteristic that is their ability to judge their goods in the touch of their eyes. But, that cunning is used to deceive the quality and price of goods.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, too many other merchants are enthusiastic about buying our dragon scales.”

A little pleasantry was indeed necessary, especially I had to observe this way of playing the person before me.

“It should be us who apologizes, Duke Flora. Because it comes suddenly like the wind.”

“It's okay you guys also need something to expect when coming here right? Let's get straight to the main problem because there are still some other merchants who are waiting for me.”

“Ahahaha! Duke Flora doesn't seem to like pleasantries. Then we will see the goods obtained from the dragon invasion.”

Seeing their immediate reaction after a day had passed was that they seemed to know where the dragons had gone. Sneaky people like this why is it so easy to mushroom anyway?

“How about this, 500,000 gold coins for 10 dragon scales chest” I then pluck my fingers and Sebastian comes along with a trolley containing dragon scales.

The merchant then stood up and observed the dragon's scales. I could see the movements of his lips and eyes that looked harmonious as if he saw the item he was looking for was here.

“Hahaha.. Duke Flora, you really like to joke. These dragon scales are pretty good if they don't crack in them. What if we bought it for 100,000 gold coins for these 10 dragon scales.”

“Hmmm.. I doubt we can't agree on this” I then rush up and walk out.

“Duke Flora?” the merchant looked confused.

“Oh, our business ends here. Sorry to interrupt your time. You can go through the front door.”

“Heh? Uh! Wait!”

“Em? Why again?”

“Eh... etto.”

“My source says if this dragon scales has very good quality but in your eyes this is just trash, right? I can't possibly do business with merchants who can't judge goods and with this I finally know how bad the quality of your goods.”

“Eh? Uh! How about 700,000 gold coins for 10 dragon scales?”

“Heh? You guys raised your prices? How about 1,000,000 gold coins for 10 dragon scales.”

“T-wait a minute, isn't that too much for just dragon scales?”

“Well, I can sell it to other merchants if you don't buy it.”

“Kuh!” he seems worried about making a decision.

I hurried back away while waving my hand.

“Wait! We'll buy it! 1,000,000 gold coins for 10 dragon scales!”

“OK, agreed!” without further ado, we agreed with this sudden decision.

In this way, we finally managed to squeeze out these sneaky merchants.

Who would have thought if they would be backtracked, right?

It's really ironic for them, isn't it?
