At the same time, Monroe of the Tigensis Magic Chamber of Commerce came back from a distant alchemist in a carriage.
Initially, he had been holding this batch of amethyst crystals in hopes of finding those alchemists who had disappeared without a trace and selling them at a good price. Unexpectedly, these alchemists didn’t know what was going on. As if someone had come to take revenge, almost all of the alchemists were wiped out. In order to avoid their enemies, all of the alchemists were extremely sensitive and hid even deeper. They wouldn’t meet anyone other than their kind.
Thus, Monroe’s trip had been in vain. He was really unlucky.
Therefore, on the way back, Monroe wanted to find Mike and ask him if he still wanted the amethyst crystals. It would be best if Mike could sell it.
However, Mike was not at home. After asking around, Monroe found out that Mike had opened a gym in the center of the city.
Monroe was very surprised.
“I just went out not long ago, and Mike opened a shop in the center of the city. Where did this kid get the money? Wasn’t he poor before?”
Therefore, out of curiosity, Monroe ran to the center of the city.
When Monroe saw it, he was shocked. Oh my god, what is this thing? He was dumbfounded.
Hence, Monroe could only send his men to inquire about it. In the end, he got the news that training in the gym cost 500 gold coins!
Monroe secretly calculated in his heart. With such a method of making money, he would probably be as rich as a country in a year. Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce probably didn’t know about this yet, right?
The gym made so much money. According to the style of the Chamber of Commerce, they had to think of a way to get some profit out of Mike’s mouth!
As Monroe thought of this, he hammered his palm and thought, “I have to inform the president at the first opportunity.”
If Monroe reported it to the president, the president might reward him handsomely!
However, when it came to reporting to the president, it was also a fact that Monroe didn’t complete the mission.
When Monroe returned to the Chamber of Commerce, he felt uneasy. How was he going to explain to the president?
However, it was best, to tell the truth. Count Edmund Lev hated it when others lied the most.
However, Monroe would definitely be punished if he returned empty-handed. Monroe rolled his eyes and quickly thought of an idea.
“I can use Mike. The gym opened by Mike should not have been disclosed to the president yet, right? Opening a gym without talking to the Chamber of Commerce in the Imperial City? Haha, I will use Mike as a shield. That way, the president will be angry at Mike and not at me.”
Monroe was very good at scheming. He immediately thought of selling Mike to avoid trouble.
After thinking of a way out, Monroe was no longer afraid. He cleared his mind with a cough and put on a fawning smile before knocking on the door of the study.
“Dong! Dong!”
“Lord President!”
Monroe prepared to report, but when he glanced around, he found that the Lord President was not in at all. He scratched his head awkwardly and wondered.
“Where did the Lord President go?”
Seeing that the Lord President was not in, Monroe was about to leave, but a figure suddenly jumped out from behind the door.
This gave Monroe a big fright. He took a few steps back and saw clearly that it was Miss Xie Lidan Xiandi. Monroe then touched his chest, and he said helplessly, “Aiyo, Miss Xiandi, why are you hiding at the door?”
As the president’s daughter, Miss Xiandi had always liked to make fun of others. The people in the manor were used to Miss Xiandi’s pranks. In the past, Monroe wouldn’t have been frightened or had such a big reaction, but today was different from before. Monroe hadn’t completed the president’s mission, so he had been feeling uneasy.
As a result, Monroe was frightened this time.
But Xiandi saw the hints. Today, she also wanted to find her father for something, but her father wasn’t there. When she was about to go out, she heard footsteps, so she hid behind the door, intending to tease Monroe. But she didn’t expect Monroe to have such a big reaction. Thus, she said, “Butler Monroe, why are you reacting so frightened? Don’t tell me you have a ghost in your heart?”
After saying this, Miss Xiandi circled around Monroe, wanting to see something from his face.
This made Monroe nervous. He smiled awkwardly and explained.
“Miss, there’s nothing. I just want to report something to the president.”
However, Miss Xiandi wasn’t easy to fool. She looked at him suspiciously and said, “Really?”
“Well, tell me what you want to say to my father, and I’ll let you go.”
After saying that, her figure flashed and blocked the door. She blocked Monroe with both hands, not letting him go.
Monroe kept complaining in his heart. This was fine. If he had not made it clear, Miss Xiandi would never have let him go. If he had known that the president was not here, he would not have come.
But he understood Miss Xandi’s personality. Thus, he changed what he had planned to tell the president and said in a short sentence, “There’s a strange shop called the gym in the city center recently. It’s very profitable. I just wanted to report it to the president.”
Monroe didn’t plan to talk about the crystal, in case Miss Xiandi and the president complained.
When Xiandi heard it, she immediately asked, “What establishment makes so much money?”
After saying that, she felt a little disdainful. She was the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce. What establishment made more money than the Chamber of Commerce?
Monroe wasn’t sure either. He only asked about it on the way here, but the lady insisted on asking. “The price, which the shop owner Mike, charges seems to be 500 gold coins. I’m not sure either.”
This time, it was Xiandi’s turn to be shocked! Five hundred gold coins per person? Did she hear it incorrectly? Wasn’t this more profitable than robbing on the street?
Why did this shop dare to charge such a price!
Xiandi was furious. How could this shop dare to set such a high price? Thus, she said, “Why did this shop set the price at 500 gold coins?”
Monroe scratched his head. He had never paid to go to the shop. He had only gone to inquire about Mike’s recent situation. He only knew that Mike was now opening a shop that charged a sky-high price, so he muttered and explained.
“I don’t know. Maybe his services are effective?”
After saying that, Monroe felt that this matter was over. Since the president was not there, he would come back another day. Xiandi had, at most, a child’s curiosity, but she did not realize that such a shop would have any impact on the Chamber of Commerce.
However, Xie Lidan Xiandi was not ordinary. As the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, her insight was definitely inherited from her father. When she heard about the strange thing called the gym, she was very curious. What was the gym used for?
And when she heard that it cost 500 gold coins per person, she was even more curious.
According to her experience, if the owner of a shop dared to set such a price, then this shop definitely had something that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
There must be something fishy going on!
Xiandi narrowed her eyes and smelled something unusual.
The Chamber of Commerce only made a profit of tens of thousands of gold coins a year, and this was only possible after the Chamber of Commerce collected taxes and rent from all the wealthy nobles in Danafu City. And this gym was only a retail investor, right? It actually dared to ask for 500 gold coins. A year’s income would probably exceed all the profits of the Chamber of Commerce.
With such a huge difference, who was the Chamber of Commerce, and who was the retail investor?

Xiandi felt that she was actually the retail investor.
Thus, she immediately said to Monroe, “Monroe, prepare the carriage. I want to go to this gym!”
After Miss Xiandi finished listening to things about the gym, Monroe remained silent. He vaguely sensed that Miss Xiandi was attracted to the gym. Just as he was thinking that things were not going well, he heard the sentence. Initially, he only wanted to look for the president, but it slowly developed into this. This was something he had never expected.
However, Monroe did not dare to disobey Miss Xiandi’s words, so he immediately prepared a carriage.
Thus, the master and servant drove the carriage to the gym..
