Return to Africa to become a tycoon

Chapter 38 The Local Tyrant's Aspirations

As the church bells rang in the early morning.

Liu Yide grabbed a handful of gold coins from the box in front of him.

"Whoosh..."

The moment he opened his palm, a dozen gold coins fell from his hand into the box.

This is a whole box full of gold coins.

Bathed in the morning sun, it turned a golden yellow, gleaming with an alluring luster.

Originally, this was Liu Yide's favorite way to start his simple and unpretentious day.

It's not about counting gold coins.

After all, there are too many to count.

Instead, like now, pick up the gold coins and toss them down.

And so I listened to the clinking of the gold coins.

It is more melodious than any music in the world.

Don't find it ironic.

Actually, facing so much gold...

I doubt anyone could ignore it.

Splash...

Listening to the most beautiful music in the world, Liu Yide began to make plans in his heart.

"So far, there have been approximately 30 lira..."

This money was the consultation fee given by VIP patients.

However, at this moment, Liu Yide was not concerned about the gold itself, but rather the future it represented.

"Now that we have a ship, what's the most important thing next? It's to get to East Africa as soon as possible and claim that territory."

The reason for such urgency is that time is of the essence.

The lease is for a total of five years.

Every day is extremely stressful.

"But if you want to go to Africa, you still need money!"

Although Monica is rich, how can a man start a business using a woman's money?

Moreover, Liu Yide has his own plans for land development!

Although Jubalan was crowned, it did not hinder his plans for Africa.

But, to turn the plan into reality, you need money!

"Making money... the most important thing right now is to stockpile ammunition as quickly as possible!"

With this expectation for the future in mind, Liu Yide left the room. As he went downstairs, a word inadvertently popped into his mind:

"Could this be considered—that the late emperor rose from humble beginnings?"

After breakfast, another busy day begins.

However, she had a smile on her face.

After all, when you push open the door to the ward and face a group of VIP patients who are all shining with their own charm, it's hard not to smile.

Just like the chief physician making rounds, Liu Yide only needed to smile and occasionally say, "Hmm, you're recovering well today. I believe you'll be discharged soon."

Even those VIP patients, who were being tortured half to death, would be greatly encouraged by his words and force out a smile that was more like a grimace.

A voluptuous, wealthy woman lay weakly on the bed. Despite her weakness, her makeup remained impeccable. Upon seeing Liu Yide enter, her eyes lit up, and she said softly:

"Mr. Louis, I feel much better today!"

Liu Yide glanced at the temperature record and nodded:

"Hmm, it's gone down two degrees from yesterday. Continue with the medication."

This famous socialite was so moved she almost cried—heaven knows how much she wanted to die yesterday when she had a fever of 41 degrees Celsius.

Although she was very weak lying in bed, she still looked at Louis with that alluring gaze, a gaze that seemed to want to devour him whole.

"Dear Louis, thank you for taking care of me."

Faced with such gratitude, Liu Yide instinctively took a step back.

This lady is beautiful and has a stunning figure, but she may be a rose with thorns.

Yes, it might have thorns.

This is the socialite that Alessandro arranged—the one the mayor covets. She's not here for treatment, but for disinfection!

Even though it has been disinfected, what if it wasn't disinfected properly?

Therefore, it's best to avoid women like this.

"Fedemiro, examine Mrs. Emily."

Yes, Federico and Luca accompanied them during ward rounds, since they were the actual doctors.

As doctors, they are dedicated and even know when to administer aspirin to their VIP patients to reduce fever and protect their health.

Of course, this was also tested on VIP patients.

After a busy day, as evening approached, Liu Yide hadn't even thought about taking a break when Federico pushed open the door and walked in. Upon seeing him, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Ludwig, haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

"Change your clothes?"

Liu Yide didn't react for a moment.

Federico reminded:

"The mayor's wife's birthday party."

Liu Yide then remembered that he had received an invitation earlier. The mayor had personally sent someone to deliver the invitation, but he hadn't taken it seriously at all and had just casually placed it on the table.

"Is it today?"

"My God, how could you forget something so important?"

Federico quickly said:

"The carriage is already waiting downstairs. Juliet is in the carriage; she's even more anxious than I am."

How can I not be anxious?

After all, she had never attended a banquet of this caliber before.

He himself had never participated before, and he was so anxious that his palms were even sweating with nervousness.

After changing into that suit, Federico stared at Liu Yide for a long while, then said:

"Tonight, you will definitely be the center of everyone's attention."

Even now, Federico can imagine how those noblewomen would react when they see her.

"This doesn't seem like a good thing."

Liu Yide's tone sounded somewhat helpless. He knew in his heart that he wasn't going to a banquet, but rather to be observed.

"The Magical Louis"—that's what all of Genoa calls him now. The nobles invite him to banquets, partly out of curiosity and partly to show off: Look, the Magical Louis has come to my house.

However… suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Liu Yide asked:

Will Lady Asolo go?

The reason I mentioned Duchess Asolo is because they never saw each other again after that night.

What is this woman doing?

"The Duchess?"

Upon hearing this, Federico looked at Liu Yide with surprise and offered a reminder:

"Sir, you should actually keep your distance from the Duchess; after all, she is dangerous."

Then he added:

"That day, the lady's carriage was parked outside the clinic for more than two hours, which has already caused misunderstandings, after all, you are both single."

Okay, that's definitely easy to misunderstand!

"I doubt anyone cares, right?"

"Sir, this is Genoa. How come no one noticed the carriage had been parked here for so long?"

Federico continued.

"Now the whole of Genoa is saying that Madame Asolo admires your talent."

Do you admire my talent?

Why does this sound so awkward?

"Okay, whatever."

Liu Yide patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Let's go, let's go over there."
