Chapter 308 This Is Not Loansharking…
It was the sixth day of the conference.
William, Anne, Burned Cinder, and Diablo had advanced to the semi-finals, but Alec had been eliminated.
Was that an indication of moral degeneration or the distortion of human nature?
At this time, the depressed Alec sat beside William, hoping that the prince would console him. Even touching his hair like what William had done to Annie’s hair would be sufficient.
William understood his intention. He placed his hand on Alec’s head.
Alec looked on with anticipation.
Pa!
But what came was a very hard slap.
Then William gently pinched Annie’s cheeks and ignored her struggling and slapping. He tilted his head and smiled. “What’s the big deal with not getting to the semi-finals? Assassins don’t belong to the arena, which is for direct confrontation. Have you seen assassins confronting warriors before?
“And you have to remember.
“Failure is the road to success.
“Use the experience for your next attempt. Isn’t that good?”
Alec caressed his sore back skull and cried, “o_0, I know. You’re right, Prince William. I’ll go home and practice hard. I’ll participate in the competition when I become a Grandmaster.”
“Right, go home, and work hard. When you take part in the next competition, I’ll sponsor you with the magical stones.
I didn’t expect to squeeze Wayne dry and pocket 49,000 magical stones.” William happily nodded. A worthy professional of the City of Dawn should not be afraid of failure.
Indomitable!
Perseverance!
Strong and courageous!
William felt that he had all the qualities stated.
Wayne Gold Coin sighed after hearing William’s words. He intended to make use of the magical stones during the semi-finals, but he had given all of them to the Half-Elf lord.
He made a firm decision not to use bribery in the semi-finals.
Not because William squeezed him dry.
Wayne was filthy rich, so he was not bothered.
What was money? They were just merely digits.
He had forgotten to bring the other space rings that were full of magical stones.
The crux was that William had changed his surname.
Treasure vault…
F*ck.
Wayne was infuriated that William had treated him like a treasure vault.
He felt William had gone too far.
So Wayne decided not to flaunt his wealth again!
After prompting by his companions, William noticed Wayne Treasure vault. He immediately appeared before Wayne and said, “Are you the young master of the Gold Coin clan? Do you have enough money? Do you want to borrow some?”
“Er… er?” Wayne wanted to nod. He earnestly looked at William, who had walloped him the previous day. He felt as though William was hatching a scheme.
But William did not give Wayne a chance to contemplate.
He immediately took out 20 bags of magical stones and slapped them into the hands of Wayne. His voice was deep. “I believe in the credibility of your family. Take these 20,000 magical stones as a loan.
“Make the best effort to improve your standing. I believe that your true potential is more than your current achievement.
“You should be one of the top 50 professionals in the southern region.
But the monthly interest is 20%. If full payment is not paid after a month, a 20% cumulative interest will be added every month. I believe you can repay it within a month,
right?”
“The monthly interest is only 20%…”
“Are you going to borrow from me?” William interrupted him.
Wayne was very astute with money. He carefully did some calculations and thought about his status and wealth. He nodded and said, “This is a critical time. The interest rate isn’t much, only 20% …
I don’t need two months. I can repay the loan within a month.”
“That’s good, sign the agreement. Remember that this money can only be returned to me. It doesn’t count if you repay it to other people.” William gave him the pre-prepared agreement and found a Grandmaster Temple Knight to be the notary.
At the crucial moment when Wayne Gold Coin was about to affix his official seal, he suddenly froze. “What if you suddenly disappear? How can I pay you back, if you disappear for a few years …”
William quietly nodded. It was indeed hard to trick Wayne, so he took out a pen and crossed out the repayment condition. Then he asked, “Is it alright now?”
“Yes, based on my years of experience, no problem.”
“Pa!” Wayne affixed his magic seal that contained his soul essence on the agreement so that it could not be counterfeited.
Both of them happily shook hands and left with a copy of the contract. They felt that they had mutual benefits.
After Wayne Gold Coin had left, Burned Cinder could not help but ask, “Are you letting him go like this? This is not your character, Prince William.”
William raised his eyebrows. “Will you take a look at the contract again after signing it?”
“Well … I don’t think so. I’ll take it out when I’m repaying the loan.” Burned Cinder shook his head.
“That’s great!” William tossed the contract to Burned Cinder. Half an hour had elapsed. The monthly interest stated on the agreement gradually turned into daily interest without any traces of amendments.
There were no loopholes in the scam.
“Gosh …” Burned Cinder and Diablo’s eyes widened in astonishment. What kind of magic was that? It was impressive, considering that it was not discovered.
William raised his eyebrows proudly. Even the Grandmaster Temple Knight was unable to detect the powerful magic of Moses!
Since he had decided to come to the Magic Conference, he had asked Moses for a lot of blank contracts. There was nothing written on it, except for the word ‘month’.
Half an hour after William activated the contract, the ‘monthly’ term would become the ‘daily’ term!
If William made some minor amendments, he could scam a lot of people.
If William did business with the Rover’s Chamber of Commerce, he would not use such a contract as the Rover’s Chamber of Commerce was rich and powerful. The leaders of the Rover’s Chamber of Commerce would destroy the contract and the City of Dawn.
This kind of scam was only used against people who were in a financial doldrum…
Well, it was definitely not a loan from the loan shark…
In William’s previous life, Wayne Gold Coin had been like a cash dispenser to the players. William would be indignant if he was unable to scam him of some money.
Who was Wayne Gold Coin?
He was the son of a wealthy man.
His family was worth billions of gold coins and had countless real estates.
He was like the God of Wealth in the southern region.
Whenever Wayne took a fancy to an item, if someone was competing with him for it, even if the item was worthless, he would offer an exorbitant price for it.
And his memory was not very good…
He would often be scammed by the same person many times…
When a subordinate prompted him, Wayne would then avoid the scammers.
Nobody knew about the characteristics of Wayne Gold Coin because it was his first time being in public at the Magic Conference. In the future, he would be scammed many times in the southern region.
After being scammed by William, would Wayne Gold Coin hate him…
Not likely!
As long as Wayne’s personality was not insulted, as long as nobody compared his wealth with Wayne’s, he would not be bothered by insignificant financial scams …
What did that mean?
He was filthy rich.
The Gold Coin family was not well-known in the southern region, and the Gold Coin family patriarch was only a vice-president in the Rover’s Chamber of Commerce. It was a superfluous title.
In fact, the family business, the Legendary Chamber of Commerce, had rapidly expanded in the large continent.
The old patriarch of the Gold Coin family was one of the elders of the Legendary Chamber of Commerce.
Wayne, the young master of the Gold Coin family, was not a fake tycoon like William.
If Prince William was being scammed, he would kill the entire family and would flog the corpses of the perpetrator’s ancestors a hundred times.
William had encountered an unexpected opponent in the semi-finals.
Kanis Iron Fists!
He was the Dwarven prince of the Iron Fists Kingdom, one of the seven Dwarven Kingdoms.
When Kanis entered the arena and saw William, he gave the latter a disgusted look…
The atmosphere immediately reeked of gunpowder.
After a while, William understood what was going on.
