Chapter 292: Chapter 35: The Lord (3)_2 Dora was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth. "It really wasn’t me!" Jones, who was hung upside down, screamed desperately. "Mr. Bruto, I hope you won’t hurt my little bat. Because he is a hardworking and ambitious little bat. Perhaps he will even become a great lord someday." One of the Hydra’s heads circled to face Bruto. "Rest assured, lady, I am just going to have a little talk with him," said Bruto, bending over and walking past the Hydra to Jones. He tapped the upside-down Jones on the head with the staff in his hand, "Tell me, were you the one who complained to Gray? If you say it wasn’t you, and I find out it was, you’re dead." Jones, helpless, had to change his statement, "Okay, it was me...but that’s because I really couldn’t meet your demands." Only then did Bruto undo the magical restraints, causing Jones to fall heavily to the ground. "I knew it was you!" Bruto’s face suddenly approached, fiercely, with the soul fire in his eye sockets burning intensely. Jones was so scared he shrank his neck and didn’t dare speak. From a distance, Dora was sweating profusely from the shock. "I’ll remember this." After a while, the angry Bruto pulled his head back and turned his face to the Hydra at the side, saying, "Rest assured, lady, I have no intention of harming him. I just wanted to have a little chat." He walked to the side and used his staff to open a sack, "Clatter," a pile of gold coins spilled out of the sack. "Here are twenty thousand gold coins." A moment ago, Jones had been terrified, but now, he was frozen in place, staring at the gold coins. "Tw...twenty thousand gold coins?" "Make me some armor. Uh...also weapons. I don’t even know how much a set of armor costs, but just make as much as you can. You should know the style of the Silver Moon Knight Order’s armor the best." Then, Bruto muttered to himself, "I really don’t understand why the Blood Clan, Dragon Clan, and humans are so obsessed with this worthless metal." Standing at the door, Dora slowly exhaled in relief. "Don’t you want to see samples first?" Jones asked. "Samples?" Bruto waved his hand, "No need, just make it in the style of the Silver Moon Knight Order’s armor. It just needs to look good." "But didn’t you say you had no money? How come you have so much money now?" "Well, you know, Lich. Last night, Simon and I robbed a dragon. That’s pretty much what happened. Honestly, it might have been the poorest dragon I’ve ever seen. I thought we could get back a hundred thousand gold coins. It just so happened that our relationship with the Dragon Clan fell apart for very good reasons. So these armors are half for Simon and half for me." Alright, the most profitable business in this world is indeed robbery. As long as you’re strong enough, you can be rich enough. "Let me know when they’re done. I’ll come and pick them up myself." Saying that, Bruto had already returned to the Hydra, bowing slightly and extending a hand. The Hydra "elegantly" extended her tail. Holding the Hydra’s tail, Bruto gently touched it with his front teeth in a gesture of a light kiss, "Lady, I have other things to attend to, but I will return to see you soon. Please urge this little fellow, as I wish to see you sooner." "Alright, my gentleman. Oh hahaha." "I must go." Bruto raised his staff, tearing open a spatial rift, and walked inside. The spatial rift closed. The nine heads of the Hydra tilted, smiling, looking at the now empty ground. Before Jones could collect himself, the spatial rift opened again, and Bruto stuck his head out, "Lady, I couldn’t resist seeing you again. Let me remember your appearance so I can reminisce." The Hydra laughed even more heartily, "Haha, Jones, you never told me you had such a funny and humorous friend." "And particularly endearing." "Quite the gentleman, very different from any Lich I’ve ever met. Although I’ve hardly met any Liches." "Maybe you should build him a house here so he can come for vacation." Finally, Bruto reluctantly pulled his head back into the portal. Jones and Dora stood by, dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded. *Who knows what happened during Jones’s absence to turn a Lich like this?* *A Lich flirting with the Hydra, today Jones really saw it all.* *But, who cares? Suddenly having two not-so-picky customers isn’t bad at all.* After confirming that Bruto had completely left, Jones hugged the gold coins and cheered, rolling around on them. "Dora! This is the first money we’ve earned! The first! Father can no longer say I can’t make money!" Dora stood at the door, smiling as she watched. One handful after another, "Clatter," the solid gold coins scattered all over the place, shining brightly. "Congratulations, little bat," said the Hydra, smiling. *Jones’s excitement was indescribable.* *Is this the dawn?* *The territory’s first earnings, this is a good start. Jones couldn’t wait to share the good news with Adelle.* After tidying up a bit, he prepared to go to Hilde to place the order. Although he hadn’t completed the contract with the Sambo family’s forge, at least placing an order was possible. Fulfilling the first batch of customers’ needs first, then moving forward. Moreover, this first customer could pick up the goods himself, which meant saving a large amount of shipping costs.
