Don't call me evil god

Chapter 691: The richest man? The first loss!
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Grandpa Rune!"

Fradin and his men captured Rune Mung in the manor with ease.

The other party didn't even hear the first two calls, so Fradin deliberately amplified the sound to attract Monger's attention.

Judging from the other person's hurried appearance, it seemed that he was planning to go somewhere.

Of course, it was impossible for Fradin to let Monger get his wish.

He stopped him with a smile.

"Grandpa Rune, I have recently communicated with the heroes about the details of the battle to defend the stone fortress and stop the monsters."

“I now have a new idea!”

"If the cultists make similar noises in the Sanctuary Plains, awaken or summon some super-level 6 monsters, evil monsters, or other terrifying beings, and try to destroy the capital, we must prepare corresponding measures and means in advance to deal with them, right?"

The white-haired Rune Monger looked a little anxious, but because the person who stopped him was Prince Fradin, he had no choice but to respond patiently:
"Hmm... that's indeed the truth..."

"But you know, Vladin, this is Starosh, the safe capital of the kingdom."

"This place is different from the Stone Fort. The God of Light is protecting you and me. The cultists can't cause such a big storm here."

"So we don't actually need to worry about the possibility of such a disaster happening, right?"

Although the sentence ended with a question, Rune Monger's tone did not show any intention of continuing to interact with Fradin. Instead, he tried to speed up his pace slightly, intending to leave without a trace.

Fradin saw this and grinned.

No matter what Monger plans to do, the more anxious he is, the more it proves that their delay is useful!

"Oh! You can't say that, Grandpa Rune!"

"We always have to take unexpected situations into consideration, such as the disaster that broke out in Ceylon. There was also the protection of the Glory there, but the local bishop, for his own selfish interests, caused the situation to develop into such a serious result."

"What if a similar situation happens in the capital?"

"I think we should go to the sandbox and do a good simulation. If there is an extremely dangerous and powerful monster that intends to destroy the capital, how should we stop it?"

Rune Monger's face almost turned green when he heard this.

He is indeed very anxious now, quite anxious.

Because he was caught off guard by the events concerning the Gilded Club and was completely overwhelmed.

When Monger used those monsters to try to destroy the heroic images of Pete, Miranda and Lancelot, he had already prepared himself mentally for the inevitable investigation.

But what he didn't expect was that the investigation would implicate the Marquis Madison.

Monger had a lot of "investments" and arrangements in Marquis Madison, so he had to help him out, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

This made him somewhat passive.

However, these investigations also made Monger smell an opportunity.

An opportunity to buy time for the Gilded Club.

Rune Monger had been waiting for the right opportunity.

Although the Gilded Club does not stand up to scrutiny, it is actually about to complete its "mission."

Munger is a businessman through and through.

I have put in so much thought and effort, and have absorbed so much gold through the Gilded Club.

He is not like the dragon, who simply likes to hoard gold at home for the sake of pleasing sight.

Monger collected these golds naturally because they were of great use and could bring him extremely rich rewards after the success.

The reward was so great that Munger could even give up his status as the richest man in the kingdom without hesitation. So Munger was prepared for the Gilded Club to collapse from the beginning.

However, this bomb will not explode until he achieves his goal and withdraws!

Now there is only a little time left.

As long as he can make it through the redemption at the end of this year, his years of planning will be accomplished.

But after so many years of "investment", the money left in the Gilded Club is no longer enough to support Rune Monger to survive another round of repayments.

Even the profits alone are not enough to withdraw, let alone the principal.

Not to mention the Gilded Club.

Unknown to everyone, Monger had actually secretly transferred almost all of his assets to the goblin tycoon Carron in Green Harbor.

Goblins have always valued money over their lives, and the pursuit of wealth seems to be engraved in their DNA. Carlon doesn't care what Monger intends to do at all. He only values ​​the huge wealth that these high-quality assets will bring him in the future.

In exchange for a large amount of gold, Munger transferred his assets, and then he invested all of it in his own "investment".

The richest man in the kingdom?

The Kingdom’s first defeat!

Negative of debt!
In order to ensure that the usual sporadic redemptions were not leaked, Rune Munger even had to temporarily open a branch of the Gilded Club in Green Harbor in the summer.

In this way, a sum of gold coins can be quickly absorbed to support the last six months or so.

Monger had planned it all well.

Taking advantage of the "death" of Marquis Madison and the disappearance of the Ryukyu Mercenaries, they also mixed in the matter of the Gilded Club in order to confuse the public and focus the investigation's attention on the cultists.

Somehow.

Although the goal was achieved, the investment certificates were successfully burned and disappeared in the fire at the Madison Marquis's estate, which completely confirmed the claim that they were "stolen", making it easier for him to put the blame on the "cultists" later.

But recently, a lot of groundless news suddenly appeared in the royal capital, all of which exaggerated the possible problems of the Gilded Club.

This is a risk that Rune Monger absolutely cannot accept!
Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

He can't stand being checked now!

He didn't dare to gamble whether the king would risk a significant drop in his reputation by forcibly investigating him.

Therefore, he planned to use the last gold coins in his hand, take advantage of the "Trade and Wealth" newspaper, temporarily add more people, and subtly guide the public opinion in the royal capital to eliminate this risk!

He had done similar operations before, and he had succeeded safely in the end.

However, this time, before he could arrange things, he "happened" to be entangled by Prince Fradin!

He really didn't have time to play sandbox simulation with Prince Fradin. A large-scale simulation could easily take more than ten hours or even several days.

God knows what consequences will be caused if public opinion is allowed to ferment for a few more days.

Rune Monger helplessly tried to fool Fradin first:
"Your Highness, I am indeed willing to discuss that possibility with you, but..."

Before he could finish his words, Fradin interrupted him with great interest.

"Oh! That's great!"

"I knew that Grandpa Rune would support my idea. So what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and get started!"

Monger almost couldn't hold back the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth!
How come this prince suddenly doesn't understand polite words?
