Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 625 The road to power may be paved with books!
"Brother Broly, this way you won't have to leave this world too soon, right?"

Tsukushi, with her slender branches and abundant fruit, came over while eating a hamburger and asked a question.

"Stay a little longer, Bonnie wants to take Broly to the Giant Tree Forest to pick mushrooms~"

Bonnie, full of energy, is also looking forward to watching.

"Ok."

Seeing the expectant looks in Akame's and the others' eyes, Broly nodded in agreement.

“Miss Chelsea, since you have agreed to entrust your happiness to me, I will certainly not let you down.”

After saying this to the long-haired beauty, Broly turned to the pink-haired girl beside him and asked, "Mine, is our family rich?"

"Yes, of course, Brother Broly, what are your thoughts?"

"I would like to allocate some money to Miss Chelsea."

Broly speaks his mind.

"About how many are needed?"

"Maine asked."

"Miss Chelsea, how much money do you need?"

Broly then asked Chelsea.

"Eh?"

Chelsea was stunned; she hadn't expected them to give her money so directly.

"Of course, the more money the better."

She wanted to answer that way, but she felt that men should prefer submissive women.

So Chelsea considered it for a moment before replying, "Lord Broly, I'll take as much as you're willing to give me."

"Mine, how much money can we offer without disrupting the normal operation of the Assassin's Guild?"

"In the past few years, we've confiscated a lot of property. Although we've spent a lot on various construction projects, it shouldn't be a problem to come up with 4 billion Great Western currency. However, considering the possibility of Great Western going to war with other countries in the future..."

Mine did the math and held up five fingers.

“5 million Great Western currency is an amount we can easily come up with, but any more than that might have some impact on the finances of the Assassin’s Guild.”

"Ah."

Broly nodded and looked at Chelsea, saying, "Miss Chelsea, I'll give you 5 million."

"Lord Broly~"

Chelsea felt her voice trembling. She felt completely satisfied, both physically and mentally. If it weren't for the fact that the man in front of her, Lord Broly, looked like a boy rather than an adult male, she would have pressed herself against him and given him her first kiss.

"Take 5 million as seed money and do your best to promote your hamburger business. After you achieve this goal, I will invite you to join my Crystal Palace."

Broly, looking like an angel investor who had high hopes for Chelsea, reached out and patted the girl on the shoulder.

"Eh?!"

Chelsea blinked, a big question appearing in her watery eyes. Her purpose in opening the burger shop was to become rich and achieve financial freedom, but if she had already become rich after spending 5 million, why would she still run a burger shop? Wouldn't that mean she had become rich for nothing?
"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence?"

Broly noticed the confusion in her eyes and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Miss Chelsea. Now that you're Brother Broly's prospective wife, you're one of us. If you encounter any difficulties in promoting the hamburgers, we'll all help you."

Hei Tong said.

"Yes, for example, issues related to fund management."

Seele added an example.

"Ah, okay, I will definitely work hard to promote the hamburger and not let you down."

Cleveland was caught in a dilemma, so Chelsea could only go along with it and say that.

"Don't call me 'sir'. From now on, we're all on the same side. Just call me Akame."

"Black pupil."

"Main."

……

Akame and the others introduced themselves to Chelsea one by one. They were not as famous as Esdeath, who stood in the front and was the pillar of the Assassin's Guild.

"Ah, ladies, you don't need to call me Miss Chelsea. Just call me Chelsea, or Xiaoxi."

Although Chelsea was actually older than Akame and the others, she acted as if she were younger, and Mine was very satisfied with this very sensible girl.

"The money will be with you soon. Are you staying here tonight, or going back?"

"Uh, I'll follow your instructions."

"Then stay here. It'll be a good opportunity to get to know everyone and also let me understand your plans for the hamburger business."

"it is good."

Chelsea had no choice but to agree to the invitation to have an all-night talk with the angel investor.

"Don't be nervous, we're about the same age, just treat us as friends."

Akame noticed Chelsea's unease and took the initiative to come closer and say something.

"Yes, Taeko is also a good friend of ours. I've heard her mention you. Just treat us like she is."

Cornelia also took the initiative to come over and ease the girl's tension. With Akame's help, Chelsea gradually relaxed.

"Eh, so Cole and Akame, you two have such a past?"

When Esdeath was explaining the formation of the Assassin's Creed's Wives Group and sharing some past events, she returned, accompanied by Najenda, who was unwashed and smelled slightly sweaty.

“Lord Broly, Esdeath has stated your request: if you can help me quell the chaos outside, I, Najenda, will be yours. I will do whatever you ask.”

Najenda is a warrior who dislikes beating around the bush. After meeting her, she directly stated her bottom-line requirements.

Broly fell into deep thought. The task of pacifying the chaotic world was not difficult for him; he could easily accomplish it even by himself.

Of course, if he were alone, he would probably have to kill everyone from all walks of life outside if he wanted to quell the chaos.

After all, when the existing order is disrupted, if a new order is not introduced in time, the people at the bottom will also start to create chaos on their own.

However, for Najenda, who was not alone and was led by a group of wives, the task was simply to behead all those who caused the unrest. But Najenda's desire to quell the chaos conflicted with Esdeath's enjoyment of it.

Broly pondered for a moment, then looked at the Ice Queen with her icy blue hair and asked, "Esdeath, what are your thoughts?"

“My view is simple: Najenda’s wish can be fulfilled by me and her. As for you, there’s no need for you to get involved.”

Esdeath walked over, picked up Broly, placed him on her long lap, and answered his question by stroking his face.

"Miss Najenda, what do you think of these conditions?"

"As long as the Great Western Kingdom is willing to provide some support, I have no objection."

Najenda was unaware of the boy's true strength and simply took Esdeath's statement as evidence that the Great Western Kingdom would not mobilize its entire nation to support him.

With only partial support, plus Esdeath, the formidable Ice Queen, Najenda felt that this was enough to crush the Imperial exiled regime and the Southern Revolutionary Army.

More importantly, both the exiled imperial regime and the Southern Revolutionary Army had some truly dedicated individuals who cared for the people.

I believe that as long as I can win the support of the Great Western Kingdom and invite those people to join, some of them will be willing to switch sides.

In a world where everyone is competing to be the worst, Atlantis used forceful means to remove those festering sores and transform itself into a healthy regime that could bring its people hope for a peaceful and prosperous life.

Outside, many people suffering from war regard this place as a land of salvation. Although there is no milk flowing in the river or bread so plentiful as rumored, in Atlantis, as long as you are willing to work, you can definitely have enough to eat and no one will starve to death.

Furthermore, it ensured the basic maintenance of dignity for every person at the bottom of society, while the slave laws governing human trafficking were completely prohibited here.

"Alright, since neither Esdeath nor you have any objections, then our agreement is settled. After the Great Western Kingdom helps you quell the chaos outside, you must agree to join my Crystal Palace and become one of my wives."

Broly jumped down from Esdeath's arms, walked up to Najenda, and extended his hand to her.

"Thank you for your kindness in helping the people of the former empire."

Najeta was surprised that things went so smoothly. After a moment of surprise, she took the hand that the boy in front of her extended and thanked him.

The female general still did not believe she possessed any charm that could attract the true leader of the assassin alliance before her.

She took this meeting and the conditions Esdeath had previously proposed on behalf of the boy as an excuse for the current leader of the Assassin's Guild to prepare to rescue the former imperial subjects suffering from war outside the Great Western Kingdom.

"No, I didn't save anyone, you were the one who saved people."

Without Najenda, Broly was quite certain that he would not actively influence Atlantis's policy of neutrality.

"General Najeta, are you staying here tonight? I need to discuss with you the formation of the army for suppressing the rebellion and the issue of military expenses."

"Of course, but I haven't taken a shower yet. Can I take a shower first?"

Najeta stayed, and Merard arranged a sexy black silk nightgown for her. Wearing it, she finally exuded a different kind of femininity.

However, apart from Merard, no one else present appreciated her slightly masculine feminine beauty.

At night, Chelsea listened to Mine and Najenda's discussion about various military expenditures in bed, and felt that the 5 million investment in the hamburger shop was a bit too much for her.

She came here to become Lord Broly's wife in order to save the people outside Atlantis who were suffering from war.

As for myself, I always feel that my character is being crushed and my conscience is uneasy, all because I am trying to live a better and richer life.

"Miss Mine, how about you give me less money?"

Finally, Chelsea couldn't help but interject.

"Eh?"

Mine looked at her in surprise. Her impression of Chelsea was that of a materialistic girl who was somewhat attached to the powerful and wealthy.

"Is this okay? Won't it affect your burger business?"

"No, once a hamburger becomes famous and people see that selling it is profitable, I can easily find other wealthy people to invest in me and help me open a store."

"Hey, do you even know about franchising?"

What is franchising?

The business models in this world are different from those in the modern world. Some business practices that are not uncommon in the modern world do not exist in this world.

After Mine explained the details of the franchise agreement's business model, Chelsea's eyes lit up in the dimly lit room.

This approach—selling established knowledge of technology and management models that enable a store to operate normally as a commodity to wealthy individuals—was novel to her.

"However, others might abandon me and go it alone, like only paying for the initial store and then opening many more stores elsewhere."

Of course, Chelsea was smart, and she quickly realized the risks involved.

"Yes, so this business model must be built on a sound intellectual property protection law and commercial protection law."

"Uh, does the Great Western Kingdom currently have these two sound protective laws?"

"Yes, but it's not perfect or widespread enough. However, if you need it, we can improve these things as soon as possible."

Mine's words made Chelsea realize once again that these girls who slept in the same big bed as her were the rule-makers of this land.

"Mine, aren't we short-handed?"

Akame had to point out that while the Assassin's Guild was good at acting as a supervisor, it was rather incapable of interfering in the specific formulation of certain laws.

Professionals should do professional things. Unprofessionals are prone to giving unsolicited advice to experts. Apart from Nahashu and Green, who are truly committed to governing the country, the other members of the wives' group are more of a force to be reckoned with.

Although he also had some part-time work managing financial matters, it was clear that he was only giving general instructions, and the specific implementation still had to be handled by the people below him.

"It's not quite enough. Although private schools are already being established, it will probably take many more years to train a large number of talents for all walks of life."

"Um, when I worked at the City Lord's Mansion, I assisted with similar official duties. If you don't mind, I might be able to help..."

Chelsea was a little embarrassed when she said this, because it would give the impression that she was not only greedy for money, but also for power.

“That’s great. I’ll leave the intellectual property law and commercial law matters to you. I’ll have Nahashye write you an appointment letter tomorrow for the position of overseeing the drafting of these laws.”

However, while this authority can be delegated to you, you must promise yourself that you won't act recklessly, and you must at least be confident in your ability to give orders.

Mine was delighted; the wives' group in this world had finally welcomed another capable assistant who could handle internal affairs... well, a trustworthy helper.

. . . .

The next day, Chelsea, who thought she was about to gain both power and wealth, had her desk filled with business knowledge books that Mine had brought from another world, copied and compiled based on the actual situation in this world.

“Miss Chelsea, to help you better fulfill your duties as a business law inspector, I’ve brought you some books on professional knowledge. You need to study and master them.”

Chelsi: “???”
