"Is that Bartrem?" Mary asked. "What is he doing with the soldiers?"
"I told them to make money," Aldred said.
"So they open a betting avenue?"
"They also open a food stall. Look over there."
Mary looked to the side and saw a small stall where a soldier was selling pre-cooked food wrapped in paper.
"You're already rich, Aldred. Why would you tell Bartrem to make money? The profit from selling those foods must be very low," Mary said.
"What are you talking about? Each piece of food cost 50 million gold coins."
"What! Why is it so expensive?"
"You might not know this, Mary, but all the people here are rich people. 50 million gold coins is nothing to them."
"Then what are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't you increase the price?!" Mary then went to each stall that Bartrem had set up and changed the price to 100 million gold coins for each food.
Sure enough, none of the customers glanced at the price and simply bought anything they wanted.
