Chapter 110. The Future Different From The Past, Part XVI

Translator: Khan

Editor Group: Liber Reverie

Aria clicked her tongue by the window of her room to watch the luxuries carried by the servants. Plenty of spices began to pile up in the mansion of Count Roscent. The warehouse was filled with a few bags of sugar and was most commonly used, followed by honey or pepper.

'Does the count think we need that much amount? Will he be in trouble if a large quantity of supplies is released?'

It was quite possible because he was walking on a different path from the past. The lower aristocrat must have accumulated a great deal of wealth already, so he might think it would be better to pull out his feet.

Of course, pulling out of his feet at this point would cause a huge spike in luxury goods, but he wouldn't mind since he had already wrecked the market.

"Miss, I'll bring some letters to you."

Aria was still imagining how the future would change, and she heard a knock on the door. When she answered to come in, Annie showed up with a few letters in her hand, with a still bright face, today.

"Those are from Baron Burboom! He said they were the ones he mentioned last time. And there are so many other letters, too."

As he had promised, he had introduced promising young businessmen to her from summer. Aria, who still didn't know much about business, chose a businessman to invest in, thinking about what things and businesses were going to be like in the future.

Most of the things she remembered, who had had little interest in business in the past, were very unlikely to fail because most of the items that would be fashionable were in the social world. Even if some of the projects that were accidentally invested in were destroyed, it would be clear that the others would be revived and she would not lose much.

Moreover, some businesses had been already gaining momentum as soon as she had started to invest. Young businessmen were quick in action. As soon as they had received the investment, they had started or expanded their businesses and began to gain recognition a little faster than in the past.

Ignorant of the future, they expressed infinite gratitude to Aria for investing in their unsteady businesses, and would occasionally send long letters that were hard for her to read.

Furthermore, some people had misunderstood that thing had begun to work out thanks to Aria's investment. They were businesses that would work well someday, although they might take some time even if they did not receive investment.

'They are supposed to be like that.'

It was the privilege of the person who had turned over the hourglass.

Aria relied upon a letter to invest, after selecting some of the most impressive businessmen like Baron Burboom was introduced to herself. 'What better way to sit back and make money and gain power?'

Moreover, the anonymous investor, who would invest large sums of money on the basis of possibility, had already been the subject of respect, envy, and attention to young aristocrats. Perhaps, in a little more time, it might be rumored that those who had been selected by Aria would have a great success.

'Who knows? If it works out that way, I'll create a force comparable to the Aristocratic Party.'

People would gather to a person with plenty of money. And there would be a loyal one to the person who would give mercy and support them... Even if it turned out that it was all the work of a wicked woman, she would be honored as a saint, not as a wicked woman anymore. If that happened, the one who was known to have been bullied by a wicked woman so far might become a wicked woman. They would say that she made false rumors to defame the saint.
