Ep. 4: Lawrence negotiates with Amarti regarding pyrite prices and Holo's fate
Aired on July 30, 2009
Lawrence determines he must lower the pyrite price to prevent Holo from marrying Amarti. He approaches Amarti with a credit-based proposal involving naked shorting on pyrite, which profits Amarti if prices rise but causes losses if they fall. Lawrence appeals to Amarti’s chivalry, sowing doubt about Holo’s consent to the marriage. Amarti accepts the terms. Unable to secure assistance from Marc to buy the necessary pyrite, Lawrence seeks out alchemists, believing they possess a substantial stockpile he can purchase to execute the plan.
