Chapter 322

~6 min read 1,055 words

Tesoro was slightly taken aback, then immediately said: "Lord Karl, it's not that I'm bragging, but no matter how much gold you have..."

"I can handle it all!"

Karl nodded: "That's good. Let's go, let's find somewhere else to talk, preferably somewhere more open."

"This way, please!"

Tesoro snapped his fingers, and a super-luxurious turtle-powered vehicle made of gold pulled up in front of them with a 'whoosh'. Tesoro smiled slightly: "Lord Karl, please get in!"

"It just so happens that I can fulfill my duties as a host."

Karl walked to the side of the turtle-powered vehicle and patted the muscular turtle in the lead. It actually made a 'kame' sound and then haughtily turned its head away.

"Hahaha, interesting."

Sitting in the seat, Karl immediately sank into the soft upholstery, feeling as if he were sitting on a balloon filled with water. It was very soft and comfortable, and he couldn't help but sigh again at how good the service was.

No wonder it could become the world's premier entertainment city!

Along the way, Tesoro enthusiastically introduced his city to Karl, and he kept looking at Karl's face intentionally or unintentionally, seemingly wanting to see him look surprised, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.

From beginning to end, Karl's eyes remained calm, always wearing a faint, inscrutable smile.

On the contrary, the pirates in the Huang Jincheng were all shocked, because the golden sports car was too flashy, and the master of the Huang Jincheng was driving it himself, which was very eye-catching.

So they saw Karl sitting in the back, and their sphincters tightened.

"Holy crap! Isn't that the Navy Hero? Why is he here? Is he here to arrest us?"

"How is that possible? This is the Huang Jincheng. Even the Navy Hero can't make a move on us here. I think he's just like us, here to have some fun!"

Karl seemed to hear this, suddenly turned his head to look at the pirates who were discussing him, and released his Haoshoku Haki to scare them. Several pirates immediately broke into a cold sweat, frozen in place and not daring to move, as if they would be killed in the next second.

Until the golden sports car drove far away, the pirates standing on the side of the road still had lingering fears.

"Too, too terrifying. Is this the aura of the Navy Hero? Just looking at him made me feel like I couldn't breathe."

Golden Tower.

"Lord Karl, please look. This is the core area of our Huang Jincheng. Everything you could possibly want is here. If you don't mind, please follow me to the VIP room to talk, how about it?"

Karl nodded: "Sure. Is all your money here?"

Tesoro raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly: "That's right. All the money I've earned over the years is stored in the Golden Tower. Nearly 100 billion Berries of wealth are all here. So, there are really quite a few people who want to pry open my treasury."

"However, I'm already used to it. Every once in a while, some daring guys want to try, but after so many years, no one has succeeded yet."

"Hahahaha, I see this as a strategy of yours to attract pirates here too!"

Tesoro quickly gave a thumbs up: "As expected, nothing escapes Lord Karl's sharp eyes."

Passing through layer after layer of entertainment venues, they finally arrived at the so-called VIP room. The space here was very large, much bigger than a presidential suite, and it was filled with the aura of a nouveau riche everywhere.

Karl sat on the sofa and gently raised his hand. All kinds of gold products poured out like a mountain flood. Tesoro widened his eyes, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

No, he hadn't even blinked! How could he conjure so much gold out of thin air?

"There, check the quality."

Tesoro looked at Karl blankly: "Is this all?"

"Of course not. If I put it all out, this room wouldn't be able to hold it. I just want you to check the quality and give me an estimate."

"Oh, oh, please wait a moment!"

As a user of the Gold-Gold Fruit, Tesoro knew the purity of the gold as soon as he touched it, but he still pretended to observe it carefully to avoid Karl thinking he was being perfunctory.

"These gold products are very old, and the purity isn't very high, only about 90%, but the artistic value is very high. If taken to an auction..."

"No need to go through all that trouble. You just need to tell me how many Berries per gram."

Tesoro did a quick calculation in his mind. The current purchase price of gold is about 8,641 Berries per gram, but Karl's gold purity is lower, so naturally, it can't fetch such a high price...

But considering Karl's status and other factors, Tesoro thought it over and looked at Karl, saying: "Lord Karl, if you are willing to sell all the gold to me, one price: 8,000 Berries per gram!"

Hearing this price, Karl frowned slightly. Is gold actually this valuable? Wouldn't he have made a fortune?

Although he hadn't weighed it carefully, there were at least seven or eight tons of gold in his system space. At this price, he could sell it for at least 60 billion Berries. Holy crap!

Seeing Karl frown, Tesoro thought he was dissatisfied with the price and quickly explained: "Lord Karl, don't look at this price as lower than the normal gold purchase price; I actually don't make much money."

"You see, your purity is only about 90%, and I still have to recycle and smelt it. In the end, I'm just making a bit of hard-earned money. This is the highest price I can offer!"

Seeing this, Karl waved his hand and grinned: "Alright, no need to say more. This price is fine, I'm very satisfied."

"How about this: find me a spacious place to put the gold, and you can count the quantity."

"You can just leave it here. I'll call someone to count it later. Please rest assured."

Karl patted Tesoro on the shoulder meaningfully: "Don't try any funny business. Money is a small matter; if it affects the friendship between us, that wouldn't be good, would it?"
