Chapter 20 The Poor Princess Vivi! Learn And Sell Nami Now!
Vivi whispered to herself, "Wow, I'm at Fairy Tail. Did I get really lucky to end up here?"
Erza and Mirajan explained that Fairy Tail was an organization that aimed to help people who were facing difficulties.
In other words, their philosophy was "if you have a problem, we are willing to help you."
Mirajan smiled and asked, "Miss Vivi, have you made a decision? do you want us to help you?"
"Oh, yes! Yes, yes!" Vivi nodded.
Pick up a pen and scribble down what you want to entrust on the power of attorney.
Vivi asked with nervousness, "Is this...is this okay?" She felt that it was a bit unreal that just by writing a few words, she could get a powerful helper.
Nami rubbed her hands together and with her eyes gleaming at the thought of money, she said, "Of course it's not good. First, let's talk about the commission fee, my dear princess!"
Vivi quickly nodded and said, "Oh, oh, yes, that's right!"
Nami asked, "So, how much is Her Lady Princess willing to offer for this task?"
Vivi asked hesitantly, "Would half a million Berry be enough?"
This is the maximum amount of money that Vivi can offer on her own.
Nami, as a princess herself, assumes that Vivi is very wealthy.
However, in reality, Vivi's personal funds only amount to half a million Berry.
Unaware of this, Nami's expression changed, thinking that she had met a formidable opponent.
Initially, she had offered one million Berry for the village.
However, as a princess of a country, Vivi is clearly willing to take risks for her nation, but when it comes to money, she is extremely frugal.
Nami put on a half-smile and imitated Su Yu's expression from earlier as she said, "My dear princess, don't you think a remuneration of one million Berry is more fitting for the task you're entrusting us with? Are the people of Alabasta only worth half a million in your eyes?"
Vivi replied weakly, "I understand what you're saying, but I really can only offer half a million."
Igaram spoke directly and said, "All members of Fairy Tail, please state your offer."
Nami held up two fingers and said, "In that case, I'll be frank. We want this much."
"Two million?" Vivi's eyes lit up.
While Vivi's personal funds only amount to half a million, there is still a gap of 1.5 million Berry left.
She could easily borrow the money from someone else. However, there seems to be a problem.
Nami shook her head and said, "No, no, no."
Igaram asked hesitantly, "Then... 20 million?"
At a price of 20 million Berry, the funds can only be sourced from the country's treasury.
Although Alabasta's financial situation is already tight, Vivi may still consider paying the price for the sake of her country.
However, Nami still shook her head.
"It can't be 200 million?" Realizing that Nami's offer might be too high, Igaram became numb.
However, it turns out that Nami's actual offer was ten times higher than what they had guessed.
Nami said seriously, "Two billion. As long as you can pay two billion Berry, I can guarantee that the president will help you remove all threats and obstacles in your kingdom."
Vivi and Igaram's eyes widened in shock upon hearing the amount of two billion Berry.
Alabasta is in financial trouble and can't afford to spend another two billion.
But if they don't spend it, they may not be able to solve the root cause of the civil unrest, and this could lead to a full-scale civil war and more deaths.
It's a tough decision for Igaram and Vivi, and they don't know what to do.
Either way, many people in the country are suffering from poverty and may die as a result.
"Nami" Erza frowned slightly.
She believes Nami's price is too high and it doesn't fit with what Fairy Tail usually does.
However, before Nami could say anything, Mirajan signaled to Erza and shook her head to indicate that she disagrees.
Mirajan is very wise and experienced, and she remembers when Nami was in a similar situation before.
This situation is still ongoing and there's more to come.
"I understand that living in a country with political unrest is already challenging, and I may not be able to pay the full price right away. However, our guild offers installment payment plans where you only need to pay a small down payment of one Berry and then work part-time to pay off the remaining 1,999,999 billion Berry slowly over time." Apply to Vivi what Su Yu once used to do
"Really? Can I actually pay with just one Berry?" Vivi sounded doubtful and surprised.
Even if the commission price was truly only one Berry, she still felt overwhelmed and confused.
"Great, now that I have taken on the commission, let's not waste any time and get started!" Su Yu got up from his seat.
Erza and Mirajan helped Juvia, who was drunk, and followed closely behind.
"Hey, President!" Nami exclaimed happily and confidently.
"What's up?" Su Yu asked calmly.
"Just a moment ago, I was the leader of the group, and we negotiated a huge deal worth two billion yuan. Don't you think there should be some rewards for my leadership? For example, what kind of share do I get?" Nami, who loves money, rubbed her fingers together eagerly.
"I had originally planned to ask for a price of 10 billion!" Su Yu said casually.
"Huh?" Nami stopped abruptly in surprise.
Vivi's legs in the back were weak, but she managed to stay upright thanks to Karoo, supporting her. That's why she didn't fall over.
"Ten billion, President, are you serious?" Nami couldn't believe it.
She thought she was greedy, but Su Yu's asking price was beyond her imagination.
"Is it possible to create fake ones? Therefore, the 8 billion will have to be added to you, and now you owe me 10 billion minus 1 Berry!" Su Yu said with a serious tone.
"WTF!"
She took the initiative and successfully negotiated a big deal, but now Nami was surprised to find out that she owed 8 billion Berry more than expected.
The total debt now amounted to 10 billion Berry, which was an astronomical amount that she wouldn't be able to pay off even if she didn't spend any money for three lifetimes.
"No, dear President, please don't joke like this!" Nami pleaded.
"Ahahahaha, I'm just joking!" Su Yu laughed.
