"Very well. That's a reasonable request!"
Jelena looked at Zhao Wukang. She didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest, because her father had solemnly told her that Zhao Wukang was no Mortal and was capable enough to enter the Military Affairs Office.
"How many Gold Coins do you need, Deputy Zhao?"
Zhao Wukang said, "670,000!"
"670,000?" Jelena raised an eyebrow and smiled. "It seems Deputy Zhao has done his research. Eggshell Village's reserve of Gold Coins is just over 600,000. Are you trying to empty our coffers?"
In reality, Eggshell Castle's reserve of Gold Coins exceeded 800,000. Jelena was saying this deliberately because Eggshell Castle had recently received two large deposits: the 200,000 left by Wang Yi and the 470,000 brought by Lu Aqi.
She figured Zhao Wukang must have known about these two sums. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stated such a precise number.
"670,000 isn't much!" Zhao Wukang said. "In this battle, our gains will far exceed this expenditure."
