- Plato (one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of Western culture)

Nat's adoptive father spared no effort in his support of Nat, not only giving up everything in Asturican for Nat again, but also paying off all his debts for Nat; Even all his possessions, he did not hesitate to hand them over to Nat.

This time, Nat did not disappoint his adoptive father again; With the 100,000 gold coins given by his adoptive father, he did not venture into any ocean transportation, but found a family that sold weapons and equipment to cooperate in selling weapons.

At that time, the Kingdom of Spain was in the midst of a war with the Hannibal family, coupled with the chaos within the Kingdom of Spain, countless nobles and wealthy merchants needed weapons and equipment to arm their family guards in order to protect themselves.

Nat took advantage of this opportunity to work closely with the Carters from the Roman Republic; Of course, this collaboration included not only the Nat and Carters families, but also the Augustus family and the Richard family.

The whole process of cooperation is as follows: the Carters family is responsible for creating the weapons and equipment, and then the Richard family is responsible for transporting the weapons and equipment from Rome to the ports of the Kingdom of Spain, and then Natt will sell the specific equipment.

The role of the House of Augustus was to help the Richard family and the Carters family solve various formalities within the Roman Republic; The cooperation of the four parties soon made huge profits for everyone.

Three years of chaos catapulted Nat from a merchant with 100,000 gold coins to a million-dollar gold coin fortune; It is no exaggeration to say that in just three years, Nat became the richest man in the Kingdom of Spain!

The poor Kingdom of Spain was not the rich Roman Republic, and the entire Kingdom of Spain, even the royal family, could not take out millions of gold coins in cash at once; And what about other aristocrats and wealthy merchants?

After Nat undoubtedly became the richest man in the Kingdom of Spain, the scale of his business became larger and larger, and even the regular army of the Kingdom of Spain began to buy weapons and equipment from Nate; After all, the weapons and equipment created by the Carters family are indeed much better than those built by the Kingdom of Spain itself.

Although the price of weapons and equipment sold by Nat is much higher than the market price, it is also priceless! Whether it is the self-protecting aristocratic and wealthy merchant guards, or the personal guards of those generals; Who doesn't want to use better weapons and equipment, and who doesn't want to spend money on their lives.

As a result, Nat's business grew bigger and bigger, and his profits grew like a snowball; Soon, the million-gold fortune became a historical term, and Nat had three million gold, five million gold, and ten million gold!

By the time Nat's total assets reached 10 million gold coins, his weapons and equipment sales network had spread throughout the Kingdom of Spain; Even the Hannibal family is secretly buying weapons and equipment from Nat.

To be honest, Nat never had any sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Spain; He was a true Greek, born on a pirate ship, but raised in the Kingdom of Spain. Even growing up in the Kingdom of Spain was not easy; Those bad memories made Nat have no affection for the Kingdom of Spain.

Nat's emotionlessness means that he can completely ignore everything that happens in the Kingdom of Spain, and still continue to sell all kinds of weapons and equipment to various forces in the Kingdom of Spain and the Hannibal family.

With the accumulation of wealth, Nat also gathered a group of mercenary troops with good combat effectiveness; They were all elite troops hired by Nath from Gaul, and they used the best weapons and equipment that Nat could obtain.

The reason why Nat spent so much money on this mercenary unit was to protect himself and his wealth; The chaotic kingdom of Spain has long since been able to give Nat a sense of security, and Nat must keep his own security under his control.

Although the Gallic mercenaries hired by Nat were not large, only five hundred; But Nat was confident that these five hundred men would definitely be able to defeat the regular army of more than three thousand of the Kingdom of Spain in a head-on battle.

More crucially, the value of their existence is not to go toe-to-toe with the regular army of the Kingdom of Spain; Instead, it is enough to escort Nat out of the dangerous place in an emergency.

In order to buy the hearts of these Gallic mercenaries, Nat also put a lot of effort into it; In addition to giving them the best weapons and equipment, Nat also gave them rich rewards and arranged for their families to live a more prosperous life.

For the Gaul barbarians, who lived a hard life, it was not easy to meet such a wealthy lord as Nat, who thought about them everywhere; Therefore, they are all desperately loyal to Nat, and are willing to give everything for Nat!

As it turned out, Nat was justified in preparing for a rainy day; Its huge assets have long aroused the covetousness of many well-intentioned people. It's just that those people are afraid of Nat's great strength and don't dare to act rashly; But the flame of their desire has never been extinguished.

The secret dealings between Nat and the Hannibals continued, and it was inevitable that the paper would not be able to hold the fire; Eventually, the news was learned by some well-wishers, who immediately relayed the news to the King of Spain.

Needless to say, the king himself was one of those who coveted Nat's wealth; After receiving this news, the king's first reaction was not that Nat had fornicated with foreign enemies, but how much wealth Nat had earned!

In fact, at that time, it only took a letter from the king for the army of the Kingdom of Spain to besiege the mansion of Nath, capture Nat and collect the property of Nath; However, the King of Spain did not do so.

In the king's view, if the matter was to be solved by the army; Eventually, Nat's property would be taken by the Spanish army, which was seriously short of military spending, and the rest would be used for other affairs of the Spanish kingdom, and it would not be possible to become the private property of the royal family.

Such a result was unacceptable to the King of Spain, and unacceptable to the informers; So, the king and the informers came up with a new solution, which was to join forces and secretly eliminate Nat!

According to the plan of the king and the informers, His Majesty the king himself sent 3,000 elite royal guards, and the other participants jointly provided 2,000 guards; These 5,000 people secretly besiege Nat's mansion and wipe out the Nat's family in one fell swoop and seize his property!

Of course, before the specific operation began, the king and the informers also discussed the distribution of the property; According to their estimates, Nat's fortune would be at least 10,000,000 gold coins, and when the matter was completed, the king himself took 6,500,000 gold coins, and the rest of the people divided the 3,500,000 gold coins.

The king readily agreed to such a distribution scheme, and the others had no opinion; Thus, a conspiracy against Nat began! And Nat himself has no idea about this!

On the night of the operation, Nat was in his mansion discussing with his adoptive father how to end up in the Kingdom of Spain; In the eyes of Nat and his adoptive father, the war in the Kingdom of Spain was on the verge of an end, and it was time for Nat to withdraw from the Kingdom of Spain after making so much money.

Both Nat and his adoptive father were wise men; They know better than anyone else the truth of the tree, so now they have begun to think about the way back. It's a pity that it's already too late.

That night, in the face of five thousand well-armed enemies, Nat's five hundred Gallic mercenaries burst into a terrifying battle form; They fought ten times the enemy's number of warriors and repelled enemy attacks several times.

However, every time the enemy commander shouted the slogan of increasing the reward, the enemy would quickly rush up and continue the attack; Such a battle lasted all night!

By daybreak, there were less than fifty Gallic mercenaries in Nat; In desperation, Nat gave up all his possessions and was escorted by the remnants of Gallic mercenaries with his adoptive father.

In fact, those who besieged Nat's Mansion didn't care whether Nat's life or death was at all; It doesn't matter if Nat is killed or escaped. It is important that Nat's property is left behind!

However, a symbolic pursuit is still needed; After all, the best outcome is to completely eliminate Nat and plunder all his possessions, which is the best way to cut down the grass once and for all.

While the guards were still in pursuit, Nat's adoptive father resolutely knocked Nat unconscious and handed him over to the Gallic mercenary commander; Afterwards, Nat's adoptive father turned back with the remaining Gallic mercenaries to meet the pursuers.

On this night, Nat lost everything again; Throughout the Nat's mansion, except for Nat and his Gallic mercenary commanders, everyone else died in the battle, including the defenseless old and weak women and children, and Nat's adoptive father.

After this battle, the god of commerce Nath completely disappeared from people's sight; The outside world did not know what happened in Nat's mansion that night, nor did they know whether Nat was dead or alive, and the legend of Nat, the god of commerce, came to an abrupt end that day.

There is something about the god of business, Naut, when Oscar was studying the Spanish strategy, the tragic dead man had already provided Oscar with enough detailed information; Oscar also knew that Nat did not hide incognito, but was saved by the Richard family's fleet and taken out of the Kingdom of Spain.

It's just that Oscar didn't know that the god of business, Nat, would willingly become the business head of the Carters family and the Richard family; You know, Nat was on an equal footing with these two families.

It seems that after going through some things, people will still be transformed; Whether such a change is good or bad can only be known by oneself as one drinks a drink. However, Oscar is still excited about the fact that Nat belongs to the Augustus family! (To be continued.) )
