Ch 19 : Getting Mikita on board

I am a rich second generation in One Piece Ch 19

Almost two weeks had passed since that day. Robin returned to Baroque Works, while Seth returned back to his family.

However, there was something different this time. Behind Seth was a beautiful woman with lemon hair. Her expression clearly displayed that she didn't want to be there. Nonetheless, it was like he had other choices.

Mikita, after being dealt by Robin's scheme, now had nothing left to do. And because of that, Seth decided to take her with him. There was no guarantee that Mikita wouldn't betray him. However, Seth thought that even though it was only a bit, Mikita would be a good source of counterattack points.

The result was evident. Spending a few days with Mikita, and Seth was able to get almost 400 counterattack points. Not that much, but it was still a pretty good income. Other than that, Seth believed that Mikita would be a nice addition to his force if he could get it right.

Her Devil Fruit was actually pretty good. It was only because she was too lazy to develop it that she could easily be defeated by the pre-timeskip Strawhats.

Today, Seth was sitting at his desk reading all the reports about the recent sales of the beauty and the beast.

Soon, the door to his room was opened, and his aid came with a flushed look. It seemed she had a piece of big news to bring.

" Young Master!! The sales of your new book, the beauty and the beast, had reached a new high!" The aid said with an excited expression.

As Seth expected, the sales of the beauty and the beast had broken through new records, and it let Seth accumulate about 150 million belis in just a few days.

You might say it was unbelievable, but never underestimate the power of the mass. Like a saying that Seth had read in his original world, if you want to be rich, don't target the rich; target the poor. He set the price which even poor people would be able to buy, and boom, the sales skyrocketed.

Still, Seth was able to keep his calm even under such a huge amount of money. After all, he was now a Go-fushuai, and he should not be flustered just because he gained a few hundred million belis.

" I know, bel. You have done a good job managing this project. Just continue doing what I have told you, and remember to never increase the price. After all, this is only the beginning."

" Yes, young master!"

Looking at the aid looking at him with a look full of admiration, Seth really wanted to laugh. Indeed, only with money and power would you be respected.

" By the way, I have a new task for you. Bel, are you confident to do it?"

" Yes, young master! I will do all your commands!"

Seth chuckled a bit when he heard the aid's response before taking out a piece of paper from his deck. Written on the paper of how he plans to expand his business to the noble side.

You know, creating the storybook was the first step. His original aim was to create a propaganda and let those big shots pay him a huge amount of money for these propagandas. But of course, Seth would not say it directly. Those big shots would soon notice this advantage of Seth's stories and would be competing with each other to get on Seth's good side.

As for the next step of the plan, Seth would be providing a special version which was glimmered with gold and diamond which only be sold to the noble.

The total profit might not be as good as the one sold to the mass. However, it would be a good thing to establish a connection with the nobles, and Seth estimated that he would be able to get at least 200 more million belis before Ace came and dealt with Crocodile. But that didn't mean he could spend his money lavishly.

There's no guarantee that Ace alone was enough to deal with Crocodile, and he needed the belis to have some insurance.

The aid soon left after she received Seth's instruction. But here, Seth suddenly heard a new prompt in his ear.

[ DING!!! Mikita seemed to have a good impression on you. Counterattack point +100]

Seth turned his head, only to see Mikita intently looking back at him.

" Hmm.. what?"

" No.. it's just.. you are a lot different than I thought."

Mikita replied, but her face was still t a bit of a daze. Seth's charming face was just too lethal for a woman.

" Hey, I'm not a bad person, okay. I just know how to treat my enemy and my friend."

Seth chuckled a bit when he heard her response, much to Mikita's displeasure. Still, she quickly regained her composure.

" Humph, like I will believe someone who would pummel a girl to death.."

" ….. "

Seth was speechless. It looked like Mikita was still holding a grudge from that time. But what could he say? He was a follower of Lord Kazuma.

" *Sigh* Stop saying it like that, okay? At that time, if I'm not showing you my real strength, there's no way you would submit to me."

" By the way, how's my offer? My offer still stands, okay? If you want to work for me, I don't mind giving you a high salary and three meals a day, and as a bonus, a sweet factory like how you always wanted. To be honest, even for me, I don't think it is a bad offer."

For this, Mikita chose to turn her head away and not respond. Still, Seth was not mad. He knew that things were progressing well, and looking at Mikita's current state, it wouldn't be long until she accepted his offer.
