Chapter 986 - One Billion

Chapter 986: One Billion
Si…
After listening to what Deception said, Extravagant Riches couldn’t help but breathe in a mouthful of cold air.
What Deception had said was right. The interest rate of loans was pegged to how fast a currency depreciates. With the rate at which gold is depreciating, the interest rate given by the game’s loaning system was ridiculously high.
Given the number of fragments that Quan Zhen Sect had bought, the amount of gold that they had loaned was definitely worth over a few tens of millions. In order to accumulate such a huge sum of money, they must have used practically everything valuable in the entire of Twilight City’s main city as collateral. The interest of such an astronomical figure is surely tremendous.
Games differed from reality. At the end of the day, the system had the final say in everything that happened in the game. If the loan could not be repaid, the system would not show any mercy or leniency in that matter and would definitely strip everything of value from the borrower.
If what Deception said was true, establishing a mutual agreement amongst the large guilds to hold their hands would surely…

Isn’t this a little too ruthless?
Extravagant Riches frowned and said,
If Quan Zhen Sect came to find out that we were the ones that did it, they would surely hate us.

Deception laughed and said,
If they wish to play such a hand against us, why should we show any mercy towards them? Why should our guild, with over tens of thousands of players, be afraid of them?


En!
Extravagant Riches nodded and said,
What you said makes sense! Let’s do it this way then. That bunch of bstards should start to open their eyes and realise that us large guilds are not someone they can mess with.

Extravagant Riches was no fool. If it was just his organisation, he wouldn’t dare to provoke that bunch of lawless people from Quan Zhen Sect. However, seeing that there were so many large guilds taking part in this… He refused to believe that the few players from Quan Zhen Sect were able to go against the entire heaven!
Thinking up till this point, Extravagant Riches started to calm himself down. He proceeded to open up his friend list and started a new chat window.
…
Back at Twilight City, just when Wang Yu was about to equip the Angel’s Wings, he suddenly received a message from Evil Rampage,
Boss, give me access.


Access? What access?

Wang Yu became frustrated, he had no idea what that brat was talking about…

The access to enter the City Lord’s Mansion! The small troops outside your house want to beat me up!
Evil Rampage replied.

…

Wang Yu was momentarily speechless. With a wave of his hand, he granted access to Evil Rampage.
Shortly after, Evil Rampage carelessly barged into the mansion.

Oh? This courtyard is not bad… it’s rather imposing. Furthermore, with so many lackeys watching the door… perhaps I should buy a few NPCs to place at my door.


What business do you have?

Wang Yu was instantly irritated by that annoying rich-man tonality of Evil Rampage.

Hey hey! Brother Bull!
Evil Rampage haughtily spoke and came in front of Wang Yu. With his index finger pointing at Wang Yu, he added,
Is this how you speak to your debtor?


Debtor?
Wang Yu became even more irritated,
Are you still sleepy? Are you looking for a beating?

At this moment, Fearless hurriedly appeared and interjected,
Old Bull, be more respectful, this man here is our biggest investor…


Investor?
Hearing what Fearless had said, Wang Yu immediately came to a realisation. Pointing towards Fearless, he questioned,
Where did you get the money to buy the fragments?


Of course it was from me!
Upon hearing Wang Yu’s question, Evil Rampage gleefully took out a loan contract and flashed it to him, saying,
Your brother here wasn’t blowing empty farts. I’m the only one in this entire game that is capable of giving out so many gold coins!


…
When Wang Yu heard this, he was stunned momentarily.
Good. Of all the things Fearless could have picked up, he chose to incur a debt before he had even begun conducting his business. To make matters worse, the investor was actually Wang Yu’s blood-related brother… No wonder Fearless did not comment anything when Wang Yu didn’t contribute to the guild.

All of the people, why did you look for this brat?
Wang Yu asked, gloomily.
It was way simpler to just borrow money from the game’s loaning system. Borrowing money from Evil Rampage was blatantly relying on his own personal relationship with his brother. It’s fine if they actually earn money out of it, but in the off chance that they have to incur losses… how could he, as the brother, face the others?

Hey, hey!
Evil Rampage laughed and said,
Big Brother, why let others benefit when you can let your own family member receive a share of the pie?


Receive a share of the pie?
Wang Yu looked at Fearless, then at Evil Rampage. He wanted so badly to bury his head straight into the ground…
All of the people from Quan Zhen Sect were notoriously stingy, especially Fearless. People had even given him the nickname
Unwilling to lose even in death
. For a youngster like Evil Rampage to actually have the intention of receiving a share of the pie from Fearless, only the word naive could be used to describe him.
Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, Fearless hurriedly replied,
Old Bull, what are you saying… we are all not strangers here. Your brother would definitely be my brother as well. How can I possibly take advantage of him?


Isn’t it easier to take a loan from the system?
Wang Yu said.
Fearless smiled and said,
If we were to take a loan from the system, we would surely lose out big time. All of the people from the large guilds aren’t fools. Now that everyone has yet to reach LV 50, they are in no hurry to purchase it. If we were to hold it in our hands, wouldn’t we have to pay money just to sell them?


This… this does make sense.
Wang Yu couldn’t help but agree with what Fearless said.
Of course, it would naturally make more sense to borrow money from their own brothers instead of borrowing money at such a high-interest rate from the system. Furthermore, given the identity of the people from Quan Zhen Sect, it would be extremely difficult for them to borrow such a huge sum of money. After all, the system’s assessment of a player’s wealth is more thorough and professional as compared to in reality.

So what percentage is he going to get?
Wang Yu quietly asked Fearless.
It was best to settle money related matters clearly when familial ties are involved, as this potentially strain their relationship in the future if things go south.

What do you by percentage…
Fearless said loudly,
These fragments are all second brother’s!


Not bad, not bad. I’m here to collect my goods…
Evil Rampage nodded in satisfaction upon hearing what Fearless said.

Fck! So we’ve been slugging our sses off for the entire day as an employee for someone else?
After hearing the conversation between Fearless and Evil Rampage, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect instantly voiced out their dissatisfaction.
It should be pointed out that these fragments were still considered extremely rare, and the moment the prices for these fragments went up, it would be a windfall for those people in Quan Zhen Sect… Everyone was waiting to extort the market and reap a huge sum of gold out of it, but who would have known that Fearless had casually sold it to someone else. Of course, they would be unhappy about it.
At the end of the day, Evil Rampage was still a through and through businessman. Upon seeing the dissatisfaction plastered on the people’s faces, he smiled and said,
It’s not considered working under me, but rather, I can be considered as your largest buyer. How about I buy these fragments at double the price?


This…

After Evil Rampage said his piece, the initially infuriated bunch immediately calmed down.

Anything could be resolved with money
,
There is no problem in this world that money can’t solve
, these phrases were created for people like Evil Rampage.
There were a total of a few tens of thousands of fragments. Solely based on the price at which they were bought, these fragments could fetch a hefty sum of over fifty million gold. However, Evil Rampage had just casually doubled this price.
Evil Rampage had the qualifications to make such a statement, after all, he was the richest guy in the whole of <REBIRTH>. If it were someone else making such a claim, the bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect would have surely given him a good beating for boasting to such an extent.
Fck… even though they still felt uncomfortable in their hearts, it was hard for them to reject such a price.
If the bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect were the ones selling the fragments, they might not be able to sell it at a price double that of the price at which they bought the fragments at. It was a totally different case for Evil Rampage. At the end of the day, he was a professional businessman. It would be extremely easy for him to sell the fragments at an even higher price.

So? Since all of you are my brother’s friends, you are also considered my brother… This has to be considered a decent price…
Evil Rampage played the ‘brother’ card.

Second Brother, you must be looking down on us for saying such things.


Yes, yes, yes, do you smoke, Second Brother? I’ll go and buy some cigarettes…


Have some tea, Second Brother…

Money could truly solve any problem in the world. The moment they thought of the prospect of earning one billion gold, the bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect immediately became obedient lackeys for Evil Rampage.
