Don't call me evil god

Chapter 623: The Gilded Club Reappears

“We just need to get the word out.”

Pete made the arrangements confidently:

"Let's just say that we have to carefully consider the appointment of the Action Corps in the next few days, so we will not participate in any social gatherings for the time being."

"Since it's hard to tell, just reject them all and don't agree to any of them."

"The less you can get something, the more you cherish it."

"By the same token, if we temporarily pretend not to accept anyone's invitation, those who are really eager to take advantage of our hesitation will definitely become more and more anxious."

"His Majesty told us in advance that he would find a suitable reason to have a secret talk with us in the next few days."

"No matter what kind of attitude changes we make after the secret talks, we can push the blame onto Your Majesty and let the royal family help us withstand the pressure."

Pete has a pretty good political sense.

He could clearly realize that whether it was investigating the cultists in the royal capital or establishing an action corps, these things would inevitably face huge difficulties and pressure.

The obstruction came from the large, loose group of the emerging nobility.

Pete and his friends alone could not handle the pressure, let alone launch an investigation.

We must find someone who is of matching strength and can compete with them to support Pete and the others.

The royal family is that equally matched opponent.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Kingdom of Reyak has so many nobles and professionals.

Only a small number of them, namely the traditional king's army, are truly loyal to His Majesty Kenreddin.

In fact, most of them choose to serve the royal family because the rewards in terms of social status, wealth and income are high enough.

That’s how the manor nobles came to be.

As the size of this group gradually expanded, even the king found it difficult to take action.

It's hard to force it.

We must take advantage of the situation.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Compared to Pete and his gang who were immersed in the intrigues and schemes;

The situation of Gail and Miranda is much simpler.

Miranda was extremely happy to finally return home and reunite with her parents after a long time. She walked on tiptoe holding Gail's hand on the way back.

After a touching reunion scene, Miranda's father Vance Warren took the two into the inner room and took out a receipt and a shining commemorative gold coin from the Warren family's money box.

Because he drank some wine during dinner, Vance, with a rosy face, said happily:
"Bless you! I think it's time to hand this thing over to Mimi!"

"When I bought it, I planned to give it to Mimi after she found a suitable partner. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It's great!"

Miranda took the receipt curiously and handed the commemorative gold coin to Gail.

Gale looked around.

The round gold coins were not very heavy and were much lighter than the gold coins commonly used in the Kingdom of Reyak.

However, it is carved with very beautiful patterns and the workmanship is very exquisite, giving people the feeling that it is very expensive at first glance.

The words "LG" are engraved on both sides of the gold coin.

Miranda read the contents of the certificate and read it out slowly:
"Gilded...Gilded Club, investment certificate?"

Gail was stunned!

Because he heard a familiar term! He immediately leaned over to Miranda and read the certificate with her:

"Investor: Vance Warren."

"On July 992, 7 in the New Huili calendar, I participated in the 17th phase of the Gilded Investment Project."

"Investment amount: 20 gold coins."

“Anonymous mode.”

"..."

There is also a gorgeous cursive signature and seal below the credential.

Gail recognized the name:
Rune Monger!

The richest businessman in the royal capital Starosh!

Whether this tycoon with a legendary life is the richest man in the entire continent of Plantis remains to be discussed.

After all, there is the goblin tycoon Carron Lap who is competing with him;
But if we only talk about the Kingdom of Reyak, he is undoubtedly the richest man in the kingdom!
As for the Gilded Club, Gail was also somewhat familiar with it.

A few months ago, when they were still in Green Harbor, they sneaked into Rune Monger's newly built holiday estate in Green Harbor in order to track down the goblin broker. At that time, they accidentally heard a presentation about the Gilded Club!
"Give 100 gold coins to Mr. Rune Monger for investment. After one year, you can get back at least 108 gold coins."

"You don't have to do anything. Just lie on your soft bed at home and wealth will fly into your arms out of thin air."

“The more capital you invest, the more returns you can get each year.”

"..."

Gail heard a lot of introductions like this in that luxurious holiday estate.

However, according to the introducer at the time, the Gilded Club was established in Green Port for the first time, and even a limited investment amount was specially set.

Gail also warned Pete at the time. He felt that this matter was not that simple. He didn't dare to believe that anyone could guarantee to make stable profits every time he invested and did business.

But because the matter had nothing to do with him, Gail didn't pay much attention to the Gilded Club after leaving the manor and soon forgot about it.

But the credential that Vance Warren produced instantly awakened Gale's forgotten memories.

And according to the information on the voucher, the Gilded Club has existed for at least 5 years, or even longer!

Since Mr. Vance is investing in the 9th phase of the project, this means there should be at least 8 more phases ahead.

Gail couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

"The Gilded Club... seems to be able to really make money?!"

How could it have lasted so many years if it wasn't making any money?

If there was a loss or failure to make that much money in just one year, it would be equivalent to breaking the 8% stable annual return promised at that time.

Gail looked at Mr. Vance hesitantly: "Sir, this investment certificate...what is it used for?"

He had to first confirm whether this Gilded Club was the same thing as what he had heard in Green Port.

Vance Warren didn't notice Gale's change of expression and explained cheerfully:
"Ah! This thing...it's a coincidence!"

"In 92, Mimi left home. She wanted to follow the Lord's guidance and go to other places to spread the gospel of Huiguang."

Gail thought for a moment.

That should be when Miranda had just signed up and passed the assessment to become an apprentice of the Crusaders. She had to receive education from the Church of the Light and training from the Crusaders. She needed to leave the royal capital and report to the Crusaders base that specialized in training new recruits.

It was several years later that she went to Green Port as a candidate for the Crusader.

"Not long after she left, a salesman came to my door."
