Foucault took out a heavy pouch of coins and placed it in Kakafil's hand.

He wanted to see what tricks this guy could pull.

"Of course." Kakafil's hand sank under the weight of Foucault's gesture.@@novelbin@@

"Truly trustworthy." Ignoring Foucault's angry glare, Kakafil nonchalantly opened the pouch in front of him.

"Kedo, bring over the rest of the clothes." After confirming the money was correct, Kakafil called over the gray dwarf from before and handed him the pouch. "Just like before."

"Yes, boss." The gray dwarf named Kedo nodded and then called over the other drivers and servants to start working.

"How much are you planning to sell?" Foucault asked Kakafil as he watched the busy servants.

"Still two gold coins," Kakafil smiled. "I can't disrupt the market like you."

"Hmph, profiteer..." Lange snorted from the side.

"You can't say that. No one wants everyone to live well more than I do, otherwise where would I earn my money? I'm strictly following the Empire's laws—it's amusing how you nobles attack a law-abiding citizen like me."

As Kakafil spoke, he pulled out a dandelion emblem from his pocket. "Besides, I'm a member of the Dandelion Merchant Guild of the Church of Truth."

Lange wanted to argue with Kakafil but didn't know how to refute him, so he resorted to attacking his character. "I'm not like some people..."

"Lange, say no more." Foucault raised his hand to interrupt Lange, then coldly glanced at Kakafil. "We'll be watching you."

The argument and bet among the few piqued the interest of the mysterious knight leaning against the wall. He picked up the healing potion and gold coins Foucault had left on the ground, examined them, and eventually pocketed them.

He continued to wait for the show to unfold.

"I can sell it to you—for three gold coins."

The woman who had been waiting to buy someone else's clothes finally found a willing seller—a burly man.

He had muscled his way to the front with his strong physique.

Clearly, he didn't really need the cotton coat; he was buying it because it was cheap.

"A silver coin coat, and you're selling it for three gold coins!" The crowd began to criticize.

"Hmph, why don't you sell it to her? Buy it if you want, it's a voluntary transaction—if you're so kind, don't just stand there watching! You pay for it." The burly man made a provocative gesture at the person.

"Tch, all talk and no action." Seeing no response, the burly man turned his attention back to the woman.

The price of three gold coins made the woman hesitate. She looked at Kedo and the others unloading goods, hoping for a better price on the new cotton coats.

She was worried the price would be too high for her to afford, yet also worried it would be so low that she couldn't buy one.

Because of the previous silver coin incident, more and more people had gathered around.

The price difference on the cotton coat had already tempted many. A silver coin was only the cost of three loaves of bread and a few pieces of fruit—something an ordinary person could save up in a day.

Flipping it for a profit was basically pure gain!
