It wasn't less than a billion—it was thirty-five million. For him to say something like that... If Nadare Rōga hadn't followed him for so many years, he would have truly suspected him of betrayal.
"This kind of armor is indeed expensive to make. It cost two hundred million from start to finish. How about I acquire it for half price?"
Uchiha Qingfeng understood. It was more or less what he had expected.
Fuhua Xiaoxue was still counting on her fingers how many zeros were in a billion. Just like that, it had been given away. Though she had not yet become queen, her heart already ached.
Even if she continued acting for another ten years, she would never earn that much money.
"Fine. It's settled, then."
Uchiha Qingfeng agreed, mainly because he could already feel the gaze behind him. It seemed this hundred million would not be easy to get.
For the moment, Fuhua Nutao did not continue urging Uchiha Qingfeng to state the second matter. Instead, he first signaled Tsurubuki Fubuki to pick up the armor and put it on.
Tsurubuki Fubuki truly did not want to wear it now. The armor had been worn by that cross-dressing little blond guy; at the very least, it needed to be washed before she wore it. But she could not defy Fuhua Nutao's gaze. She could only suppress her discomfort and put it on directly.
After organizing his thoughts, Fuhua Nutao continued, "Sir, I assume you also know that the Land of Snow is a barren little country. Most of our revenue is spent on the people's livelihood, and the tiny remainder was only enough to produce a few sets of armor. As things stand, the Land of Snow's treasury cannot produce even ten million, let alone a hundred million."
