We drag Kaz for calling Inej an investment but like. Y'all we are looking at that through our own lense and not appreciating it for what it means.
The Most Important thing to Kaz Brekker (barring perhaps knowledge) is money. Regardless of whether he is particularly devout, Kaz was raised in a country that ties currency and industry to divinity, and some of that had to sink in. Money is the thing he would kill or die or risk everything for. He mocks religious fervor in others, but honestly, there's zero chance Kaz doesn't connect monetary success and salvation.
More valuable even than cold, hard cash is a quality investment. Kaz could call Inej 'treasure' and it would be taken more favorably, but hoarded gold isn't worth as much as an investment. A good one you can count on to have returns, to reliably give back more than what you put in if you steadily support it.
Kaz calls Inej a good investment and that's high god damn praise.
