The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 188: The Citizens of Thunder City Have Never Been So Frenzied_2



"Who are you? What are you doing at the entrance of our warehouse?"

Stopped by the voice, the shopkeeper's back straightened for a moment, he laughed guiltily, and said embarrassedly.

"My name is Harding, I'm the owner of a nearby tailor shop, just curious and wanted to take a look... May I know your name, boss?"

As he spoke, Harding casually handed over a cigar.

Looking at the cigar being offered, the initially aggressive man immediately broke into a smile, silently accepted it, and then continued speaking.

"Beaumont, I'm not the owner here, our boss is someone else. As for Colin, we indeed come from the territory of the Colin family, but we're not working for that Lord, he looks down on small businesses like ours."

"Business?" Harding's eyes lit up, he quickly asked, "Have you already found buyers for these mattresses?"

The dark-skinned man lit the cigar and said casually.

"The nobles of the Ryan Kingdom ordered a batch, the rest we will deal with locally."

To prevent losses in ocean trade, these cargo ships usually carry extra goods on board, selling them locally after arriving at the port.

This is the only channel through which goods meant for the Royal Family reach the common people.

Harding's eyes suddenly became fervent, emitting a blazing light, as if he had seen piles of gold.

Almost instinctively, he blurted out.

"How much? I can buy them!"

The dark-skinned man didn't hesitate, opened five fingers and said.

"Ten gold coins."

"Ten gold coins?!"

"That's right, ten gold coins each, don't think it's expensive, the springs inside aren't from dismantled machines, they're handcrafted by artisans!"

Looking at the talkative guy in front of him, Harding widened his eyes and blurted out, "Why don't you just rob?!

Honestly, this guy's face really looks a bit like a pirate, making him a bit apprehensive.

The dark-skinned man grinned, puffed a smoke ring, and said nonchalantly.

"If you can't afford it, just stay aside, they weren't meant for you anyway."

Harding gritted his teeth, turned silently, and walked away.

But he didn't actually leave; he didn't even exit the harbor. Instead, he walked straight toward the Harbor District Bank without any detours.

He wasn't carrying that much cash on him!

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, making him stop and turn around instinctively.

It was none other than his peer, Jode, the owner of the Rebecca Boutique!

He saw the old man shouting at the top of his lungs, his eyes almost popping out, and he hollered with great momentum.

"How much for these mattresses?! I'll take them all!!"

...

Not every spring mattress was from the "Weaving Shadow's Nest," yet this didn't prevent the citizens of Thunder City from chasing after these novelties.

The mattresses priced at ten gold coins each were quickly sold out, and those who didn't manage to grab one stood on the dock, lamenting miserably.

The sighs weren't just about not being the first to seize the opportunity, but more about missing out on a chance to make a fortune.

Because it didn't take long for these novelties to double in price and appear in Thunder City's most famous high-end tailoring shops.

Including Jode's Rebecca Boutique, which became the largest distributor among them.

Although the excited Mr. Jode couldn't buy all the stock, he still resolutely bought a full hundred pieces and hired help to carefully move them into his store!

For this, he even went as far as taking a loan of 1,000 gold coins from the Andes Family's bank.

And this investment soon paid off.

Almost as soon as those mattresses were moved into the store, the servant of Baron Ges from Silver Pine Town stepped into his shop.

Since yesterday, this guy was ordered by his master to do everything possible to get a set of the same bed linens as Prince Colin's.

This was not just about showing off at the banquet, but more importantly, to entertain the Princess who was about to visit the Baron Territory!

To avoid disappointing his master, this poor servant had been searching the streets for a while, finally seeing hope to deliver this task!

Although these mattresses weren't from the "Weaving Shadow's Nest" brand, they still looked decent, and anyway, they were imported from Mr. Colin's territory!

In this way, the mattresses that Jode bought for ten gold coins were quickly resold to the first buyer at a price of twenty gold coins.

A profit close to 100% drove the shop owners in the Thunder City harbor mad, even willing to pay a higher price to buy from their peers' shelves and then resell the goods on their own shelves.

The lack of alignment between supply and demand generated huge profits.

Seeing the vast business opportunity, clever craftsmen soon thought of imitating them, but while their ideas were good, the craftsmanship alone left them stuck.

In fact, it wasn't just the craftsmanship; without the spring steel from the Great Graveyard, they couldn't replicate it even if they mastered the making technique.

The technological gap between the two sides was no longer about craftsmanship but had reached the level of materials, so much so that Jode, who gritted his teeth and took apart a mattress for detailed study, couldn't help but gasp when he touched the springs inside—

It was like bedding made of gold!

If these springs really were handcrafted, then the purchase price of ten gold coins wasn't expensive at all; he even thought it was too cheap!
