"Cough, cough... I must remind you of one thing, Mr. Yugus. The Sothos Museum is listed as part of the kingdom's historical and cultural heritage. Its ownership belongs to City Hall... and no mayor, however mad, would dare sell it. In fact, even if the mayor agreed, the City Council would never pass it!"
Bartolo suspected that Aaron had run into a swindler and foolishly walked right into the trap.
He was even more foolish than William Mark, that idiot who had recently become infamous among high society!
"In fact, I'm about to reclaim its ownership from City Hall, so there's no need to worry about the result. The process is just a little complicated, and I need a lawyer to handle the paperwork for me... I'll pay your legal fees by the hour."
Aaron was very confident.
Neither the Investigation Bureau nor the upper echelons of the kingdom would dare stiff a 'Longevity One' on a debt!
"All right... I'll verify the situation."
Bartolo reluctantly made himself believe it was real. When he looked at the young man across from him again, his gaze changed at once.
To acquire a famous public museum of the kingdom for himself—just how terrifying must this young gentleman's wealth and background be?
He must be the descendant of some great noble...
Perhaps to the point where those city councilors would grovel at his feet...

Bartolo's eyes immediately lit up with boundless excitement.
What lawyers feared most was obscurity. For classic cases that could become gilded signboards, he would even waive his legal fees!
"Then I'll give you the authorization documents later. I'll leave everything to you."
Aaron shook hands with Bartolo and sighed
