Sign In: Becoming A Great Spell Deity Starting From The Magic Academy Chapter 370 - The Closure Of The Trading Firm

Chapter 370 - The Closure Of The Trading Firm

Hearing this, Lei Luo was a little stunned.

He took two steps forward and sized up Arthur.

Then, he nodded and said, "Yes."

He smiled and asked, "Anything is fine? Then...will you do it?"

Arthur thought about it very seriously, gritted his teeth with a solemn expression, and nodded.

"Yes! But, I only receive female guests."

Lei Luo was amused and said with a smile, "You're really a wonderful person."

Half an hour later, at the Morton Trading Company...

When Lei Luo and Arthur appeared in front of the magnificent building, they just happened to see a construction worker tearing down the signboard of Morton Trading Company.

Lei Luo was a little surprised, but at the same time, he also felt a little uneasy.

"What's going on? Why did Morton Bank fail? Is it renewing the signboard?"

The construction worker said to Lei Luo, "Obviously, it went bankrupt."

"Go bankrupt? When did this happen?"

Lei Luo grabbed the worker's hand forcefully.

"It should have happened an hour ago."

"Then what about my savings? What about the money I saved in the trading firm?"

"Then it's gone."

After saying that, the construction worker shrugged and left.

Lei Luo was left standing there in a daze.

Arthur stood to the side awkwardly. He asked carefully, "I didn't expect that your money would be stored in Morton Trading Company. Perhaps there is still a chance to turn things around. We can think of another way."

Even Arthur himself did not expect this.

His clumsy comforting actually made Lei Luo react.

"I was first blackmailed when I went out, and then I lost half of my money for no reason. Then, the trading firm where my teacher saved the money went bankrupt. Could it be that I was possessed by the G.o.d of misfortune?"

Lei Luo's gaze involuntarily landed on Arthur.

This made Arthur's scalp go numb.

He also hurriedly asked, "The boss of Morton Trading Firm is called Morton. I know where he is. Why don't we go find him?"

"Really?"

"No matter what, we still have money saved up. Even if we can't get it back completely, we can at least get some of it back."

After saying that, he quickly pulled Lei Luo into a carriage, trying to avoid his burning gaze.

It took about half an hour.

The carriage stopped at a small bar next to the central square.

"Here, this is Morton Trading Company's boss, Morton."

Lei Luo looked in the direction Arthur pointed.

He saw a huge man with a messy beard. He was a middle-aged man with an ap.r.o.n.

He looked like someone who would be disgusted by anyone.

But he was lying on the bar counter in an envious position, drinking poor-quality ale.

"Are you sure this person is the boss of Morton Trading Company?"

It was also hard to imagine.

A man dressed so wretchedly was unexpectedly the former boss of the trading company. How could that be?

He was once the biggest boss of the trading company in the third administrative region.

This guy looked a little too young.

Arthur, who had finally shifted Lei Luo's gaze that was as scorching as the flames of h.e.l.l also felt that he had never felt so relaxed in his life.

He secretly let out a breath of turbid air that he had been holding back for a long time.

"Do you think he's too young? I think so too. This guy is only 31 years old."

"He founded Morton Trading Company at the age of 20, and he built a street shop into the largest trading company in the third province at the age of 30. Then, he defeated it with one hand. He's pretty impressive."

Arthur's words made Lei Luo turn around and look at him.

"You know him very well?"

"His birth name is Wenna Morton. He is a well-known figure in this province. Ever since Morton Trading Company closed down, he has been staying here every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that he would be here."

Arthur lowered his head and looked at Lei Luo.

"Oh right, at least three months ago, Morton Trading Company announced that it was going to go bankrupt and asked everyone to come and retrieve the gold coins. Why are you only here now?"

"This is the money my teacher gave me. I live in a village, so I don't know much about what is happening outside."

Habacca did not care about money,

Naturally, he would not care about things like these.

Thinking about this deposit, when Lei Luo was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that he had this money.

Then, he conveniently gave it to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo was also unwilling to talk about his own matters.

He curiously asked, "Since this guy can start from scratch, then he naturally has some ability. How could he fall to such a state?"

"I don't know either. I heard that it seems to be because he is competing with Trump."

"Trump?"

Lei Luo frowned.

The image of that fat man with a harmless smile in the Trump Casino appeared in his mind.

"I'm not too sure either. It's said that Trump is the richest man in the empire."

Arthur thought that Lei Luo didn't know him, so he briefly introduced the information he knew.

"Oh?"

Lei Luo didn't want to say that he knew Trump.

He got off the car and walked to the small bar.

Lei Luo and Arthur walked into the bar that didn't have any customers.

They didn't say anything either.

They simply stood in front of the bar counter and looked at Morton, who was behind the bar counter.

"The depositor of Morton Trading Company?"

Morton glanced at Lei Luo and Arthur.

They were still drinking.

"I have 50 million gold coins, which I deposited in Morton Trading Company."

Lei Luo walked forward and placed an envelope on the bar counter. Then, he stared at Morton to see what expression he had.

Morton first smiled indifferently.

Then, just as he was about to speak, he glanced at the envelope on the bar counter. A seal on the envelope caught his attention.

This seal was undoubtedly a very unique design of an emblem.

It was a red dragon.

"Where did you get this deposit slip?"

Morton held the envelope with his right hand and opened it to take a look. As he examined it carefully, he pretended not to care.

"This was given to me by my teacher. He said that this was all his property in his life, and that this was the only deposit he had. He asked me to come and take it, but who would have thought that before I entered your trading firm, someone would tell me that you had closed down."

"Morton Trading Firm closed down, but it was notified three months in advance. Why didn't your teacher come?"

"The village we live in is too remote, and my teacher doesn't like to come to the city, so I didn't know about your news."

Morton placed the deposit back on the bar counter.

He turned his attention to Lei Luo, and his expression completely returned to the smiling expression from before.

"I think you should know that I don't have the ability to pay you back now, right? I can't even pay you back five copper coins. How will I pay you 50 million gold coins?"
