Becoming a Tyrant After Eating Blackhole Fruit
Chapter 23

At Carlo Royal Palace, Burgess led an army of bodyguards to pull a treasure cart into the palace.

This was a treasure looted from the twelve nobles' house after its door was destroyed last night.

There were countless coins, gold, and gems.

Once calculated, the total price was around 25 billion Bailey.

On average, the wealth of each noble was about 2 billion baileys.

2 Billion Baileys is already a lot, and the average national noble does not own 2 billion Bailey's property at all.

That is, in the Kingdom of Carlos, the nobles plundered the wealth of the commoners to have so much money.

In addition, four families including Farmiga were destroyed earlier, and Rhodes' legacy.

Keynes now has properties worth about $45 billion.

(If Fortune has a different opinion, do not spray if you do not like it.)

45 Billion Bailey is indeed a great fortune for individuals.

But for the entire Kingdom of Carlo Kingdom, it was nothing much.

It could be said that this 45 billion Bailey was almost 70% or even 80% of the wealth of the Kingdom of Carlo.

Apart from the royal palace, the citizens of the Caro Empire had almost no money in their hands.

All their money was extorted by Rhodes and the nobility.

There was still much Keynes had to do to restore Carlo Empire to such prosperity ten years ago, or even more than that.

At this time, the Karo Empire needed to be rebuilt, and the starving citizens needed food and shelter.

It all takes money.

Just rebuilding the country and feeding its citizens doesn't know how much it will cost.

In addition, Keynes also plans to buy weapons to improve military combat capabilities.

45 Billion Baileys is not enough.

“It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money. There are many pirates in the sea, and you can get a lot of wealth just by collecting gifts.”

“And there is also the golden city of Pulau Langit. I'm not short of money.”

"What's lacking now, there are still powerful subordinates."

Keynes knew that there was a golden city on Sky Island. With his strength, he was able to completely rule over the entire Sky Island and take the golden city as his own.

So he did not have to worry about the lack of money.

What Keynes lacks now is a capable cadre.

Now he is on the throne and owns a country.

But the workforce around is far from enough.

The only people who can help him do something and have combat power are Burgess and Cavendish.

Although Randall Quinn is Prime Minister, he is a civilian, weak in battle, and old.

If he had a few more cadres under his command, he wouldn't have had to take action on his own for the extermination last night.

In addition to the cadres, the soldiers of the Imperial Carlo escort forces were also weak.

If such an army of guards met a large group of pirates, they would not be able to fight it.

Unlike John Lord, Keynes did not want to mess around.

He did not need a weak army, he preferred to wipe it out and save a lot of money.

What he needs is always the elite.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Randall Quinn came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the Marine warship has docked."

"What's so weird about the Marine's arrival?"

Keynes said calmly, "The Carlo Empire is a member of the world, and there is a Naval Base in the country, probably to replenish supplies."

“No, not only the Marines who came this time, but also the CP personnel of the Holy Land, who requested to meet His Majesty.”

Randall added.

“CP?”

Keynes narrowed his eyes slightly.

CP, as a secret espionage agent under Enies Lobby, a direct agent under the Holy Land, has been working for the Holy Land and the Heavenly Dragons.

This is a group of people who will do anything to get what they want.

It's generally not a good thing to have a relationship with them.

“What is CP doing in Carroll Kingdom at the moment?”

"Maybe it's because of the gold in the sky."

Randall guessing.

Randall was prime minister ten years ago and has a wealth of experience in state affairs.

And the time of year is also the time when every member country turns into gold in the sky.

"Take them to the palace hall, I'll be there soon."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King."

Randall saluted and respectfully walked out of the study.

…………

Palace Hall.

Randall entered with a group of Marines.

There were three people in the head, one was a CP member in black, and the other two were Marine officers.

One was Vice Admiral, and the other was the commander of Carlo Empire base, Rear Admiral Brad.

Vice Admiral and CP walked side by side, with Rear Admiral Brad one step behind.

Randall took everyone to the palace, and seeing Keynes not coming, the CP-led members were somewhat dissatisfied.

“Hey, hey, are we really waiting here? That guy is really cocky.”

Randall stood up and explained, "Sorry, Your Majesty the King will be here soon, please wait a moment."

“Hey, you guys, do you know who we are? I'm…"

“Silent, Spandam.”

The Marine Vice Admiral spoke up, with some X-shaped scars on his face and a terrifying expression.

"We didn't come here to make trouble, be careful."

"Hey, Dauberman, did you order me?"

Spandam was despicable and evil, even in the presence of the elite Navy Vice Admiral Dauberman, "I am the conqueror of the world, but your superior."

(The two words will be harmonized, sorry.)
