Chapter 35
The Branch Manager’s face turned pale.
However, he managed to display superhuman self-control and barely succeeded in forcing the corners of his mouth upward.
“Hahaha. Of course. Please wait just a moment.”
A chill ran down his spine.
Were there even that many gold coins left in the Capital Main Branch vault right now?
‘We haven’t even replenished the gold coins that went out yesterday yet!’
Usually, gold coin reserves were replenished about once a week. In fact, there were often times when even that wasn’t necessary.
Because gold coins were always abundant.
There had never been a single time when gold coin reserves were insufficient!
“Here are the gold coins worth one hundred billion francs.”
Thud! Heavy gold coin pouches were piled high in front of the counter.
“You’re welcome to count them yourself, Lady.”
The Branch Manager hid his sigh of relief.
He had barely managed to fill it.
Of course, he had even emptied the personal vaults that the bank staff currently had!
‘Good. This will make the front page of the newspaper again.’
When he was frantically scraping together the gold coins, he wondered what the hell he was doing, but thinking about it, it was a good thing.
This would certainly ensure publicity for Ritten Bank’s gold coin reserves!
“Thank you. I’ll use your services again next time.”
“Hahaha, anytime!”
After Dana left, the Branch Manager urgently gave orders.
“Quickly contact Marquis Ritten! Tell him our gold coin reserves are completely depleted! Ask him to hurry and replenish the gold coins!”
“Yes.”
“And you go to the branch on Rossel Street and ask to borrow gold coins!”
However.
“They say they can’t replenish them right now.”
“What?”
“They say the Ritten Bank at the Rossel Branch is also out of gold coins.”
What?
The Branch Manager’s expression became blank.
The other branch’s gold coins were also gone?
“They say someone from the Windsor Family came this morning and exchanged everything for gold coins.”
“…!”
At that moment, the Branch Manager’s face contorted. And only now did he realize.
‘She did it on purpose!’
Danae Windsor was sweeping up all the gold coins from every Ritten Bank in the area!
‘No, wait a minute.’
If a major customer came at a time like this and requested an exchange for gold coins…!
“Branch Manager! This is terrible!”
Just then, an employee rushed in urgently.
“A request came in to exchange for gold coins! This time they want to exchange two hundred billion francs for gold coins…!”
Why do ominous premonitions never miss their mark?
The Branch Manager hurriedly got up from his chair and instructed another employee nearby.
“You run to the Marquis Ritten’s Estate immediately! Explain this situation to His Lordship the Marquis right away and bring back gold coins!”
Then he hurried to the lobby where the customer counter was, along with the teller.
“You said two hundred billion francs? They demanded exactly two hundred billion francs?”
“Yes. That’s correct. But…”
“Damn it, what crazy bastard is demanding such a huge amount all at once!”
“Well, it’s Lady Danae Windsor.”
The Branch Manager stopped dead in the middle of the corridor.
What did he just say?
“Lady Danae Windsor has requested a gold coin exchange.”
* * *
“What kind of game are you playing?”
As expected, he was angry.
The Branch Manager’s business smile had already become distorted.
“A game? I just came to exchange for gold coins.”
“One hundred billion francs yesterday evening. And one hundred billion francs worth of gold coins this morning. But now you want to exchange two hundred billion francs worth of gold coins in the afternoon?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“In history, there has never been a single customer who exchanged such an amount of gold coins overnight!”
He meant to stop this nonsense, but she tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Branch Manager. Did I perhaps cause you trouble?”
“Of course, Lady. This is serious business interference!”
“Just from this much?”
“Pardon?”
“You told me that Ritten Bank holds the most gold coins in the world.”
“That’s…”
“So I used your services, and it’s business interference?”
Dana raised her voice at the end and laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“Did you think I would only bring pocket change?”
The Branch Manager was at a loss for words.
“Did you perhaps not know that I have a lot of money?”
How could he not know?
The heiress of the legendary Treasure Island. There was no one on the continent who didn’t know Danae Windsor, one of the wealthiest people!
“So I naturally thought you could handle this much.”
He could feel glances directed their way. Unfortunately, many customers had gathered today.
This incident would definitely spread by word of mouth.
“Of course not.”
Therefore, the Branch Manager forced a gentle smile.
“Ritten Bank can certainly provide as many gold coins as you desire. If you could just wait a moment in the VIP Room…”
“How long?”
“Pardon?”
“Please tell me how long I need to wait.”
“Well…”
The Branch Manager’s mind raced.
‘How long does it take to get from the bank to the Marquis Ritten’s Estate?’
No, would Marquis Ritten be able to prepare two hundred billion francs immediately?
What if the Marquis wasn’t at his estate?
“You don’t even know how long I have to wait right now? I’m very busy, Branch Manager.”
“Well, since it’s such a large amount. We’re preparing it with the utmost care. Please wait in the VIP Room for now…”
“I said I’m busy.”
At that moment, the smile disappeared from Dana’s face.
“Do you know what I’m going to do with that money and still tell me to wait indefinitely?”
“Th, that is….”
“Didn’t you say that time is life when it comes to credit? Don’t tell me you only meant that this bank has been established for a long time?”
“That, that’s of course not it, but.”
“I also took it to mean that you value customers’ time.”
At that moment, the Branch Manager realized.
Depending on how he handled this situation now, the perception of Ritten Bank would change.
Into a bank for the middle class that couldn’t handle wealthy clients like Danae Windsor!
‘Should I, should I just throw her out?’
No, if he did that, the bank would be branded as one that couldn’t handle tycoons on the level of Danae Windsor!
‘She’s doing this on purpose. This damn woman!’
He was certain of it.
Right now, Windsor was attacking Ritten. With Danae Windsor at the forefront.
And they weren’t even trying to hide it. Rather, they were flaunting it openly!
“Fine. I’ll wait here for a moment.”
He thought she would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, Danae crossed her legs and leaned back in the chair.
“I hope they arrive before the bank closes.”
From that moment on, the Branch Manager began praying inwardly.
‘Please, Ramun. Let the Marquis give us the gold coins right away.’
Tick-tock. Time passed. One second felt like a thousand years.
How much time had passed like that?
“Branch Manager.”
They’re here!
The Branch Manager jumped up to greet the employee. The employee had returned!
“The Marquis said it’s impossible to replenish the gold coins.”
What!
“It seems all Ritten Bank branches in the capital are currently requesting gold coin replenishment from the Marquis.”
“What? All branches?”
“Yes. Windsor’s people have visited every branch demanding to exchange for gold coins. Ritten Bank’s gold coin reserves have been completely depleted!”
“….”
“He says it will take at least several days to replenish all the vaults of every branch. So right now it’s impossible….”
This is ridiculous….
The Branch Manager was now completely dejected, looking at Dana with pale eyes.
This crazy woman who was robbing all of Ritten Bank’s gold coins like a bandit.
“Ah, that’s me. I requested that.”
And this crazy woman didn’t even hide that it was her doing.
“I’m in urgent need of gold coins. Gold coins are currency recognized anywhere on the Continent, you know.”
“….”
“Since Windsor Family checks are being questioned, I proceeded urgently out of anxiety.”
“….”
“Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that too. I’ll keep coming to exchange all my assets for gold coins. Ah, so I was wondering.”
Dana looked straight into his eyes and asked.
“Can I continue using Ritten Bank in the future?”
No. Don’t come.
Don’t come because Ritten Bank can’t handle your wealth!
The moment the Branch Manager declared that with his own mouth, Ritten’s prestige would fall.
What should he do? How on earth!
“Branch Manager.”
Then, he heard an employee’s whisper in his ear.
“The Marquis said to negotiate.”
The Branch Manager wanted to scream with relief.
‘Well done, Marquis!’
Not dealing with such a crazy woman was the best option.
