30 Million Ropals
To say that Alexander was caught off guard by the old man's ask to grease the wheel would be a lie.
Because he came to the island with the full expectation that at one point or another, he would have to butter the butts with gold and silver.
After all, this was the fastest and easiest way to buy one's loyalty.
Money made the world go around.
Alexander had even bought the 50 million ropal with him for basically this.
And it could even be said that he had been only waiting for an opportunity like this to use it.
It was just that Lady Miranda had not been able to provide him with such an offer even when Alexander asked for it because she could not even get him into contact with the right people.
They would simply refuse to even see her, much less take Alexander's money, as they did not trust the other.
