Life Dungeon Game

Most of the inhabitants of Arano are natives who have lived on this land since ancient times, and their race is similar to that of Middle-earth.

The Tia Empire was formed by later immigrants from the West who occupied the New World and drove the natives to the surrounding islands.

However, many indigenous people remained, married immigrants, and had children.

The majority of the population of the Tia Empire were descendants of mixed-race natives and immigrants, while the ruling class maintained their bloodline from the Western Lands through intermarriage.

The person in front of me has very obvious characteristics of a Westerner, so he probably doesn't have a low status in the Tia Empire.

In fact, He Ao didn't know this much about the Tia Empire before; he had just learned this knowledge in class.

Learn it and apply it immediately.

Clearly, this is an envoy from the Tia Empire.

"What do you want from me?"

He leaned back in his chair, calmly looking at the envoy from the Tia Empire before him.

The Chaos of Alano

It can almost be said that the Tia Empire was the sole cause of this.

The former president of the Republic of Alarno wanted to reclaim the oil fields and nationalize the oil.

He was then assassinated the following month, his cabinet collapsed, and Alarno was plunged into a warlord conflict that lasted for more than a decade.

The sudden rise of the Free Marines, besides being influenced by Dawn, also likely had the shadow of the Tia Empire.

"Mr. Hu Wen is a high-ranking member of Dawn, and the Empire has always maintained a very good relationship with everyone at Dawn,"

The envoy was very polite and spoke with a smile.

Clearly, he had already investigated He Ao's identity.

A powerful C-rank individual is considered a heavyweight in today's supernatural world.

“Hmm,” He Ao raised an eyebrow, looking at him with interest, “So?”

"We have heard that Mr. Hu Wen wants to reunify the Freedom Marines' forces, and we greatly admire this action. That's why we came to see you, hoping to do our part."

The envoy spoke with a gentle smile.

The same behavior can lead to different conclusions depending on the perspective of different forces.

He's act of directly using Dawn to raise its banner naturally surprised and alarmed Dawn itself, while the Tia Empire was pleasantly surprised.

They desperately wanted Heo to immediately reorganize the Free Marines and continue their fierce battle with the Coast Guard to prevent the unification of Alano. They also wanted to bring Dawn into the fray to wear down the Institute and weaken its power.

They were like carrion vultures, circling in the sky, ready to pounce at any opportunity.

They found He Ao within hours of the news spreading, their actions were incredibly swift.

"What can you give me?"

He Ao squinted, looking at the envoy with a smile in his eyes.

"If you wish, I can arrange for the bankers in the Empire to provide you with a low-interest loan of 2500 million gold shields, with an annual interest rate of no more than 3%. You can also directly exchange this loan for weapons."

This is a very good deal. Before you, Mr. Baran also took out this loan, and he paid it off in just a year and a half.

The messenger spoke slowly.

The Gold Shield is the currency of the Tia Empire, and its exchange rate with the currency of the Central Plains is approximately 1:25 million Gold Shields can be exchanged for 10 million Central Plains currency.

"Are you here representing the bank?"

Heo placed his hands on the table and calmly looked at the messenger.

“I represent the Alano Business Alliance.”

"The messenger said softly."

The Alano Business Alliance is a monopolistic alliance mainly composed of multinational oil companies that control the Alano oil industry. Apart from having "Alano" in its name, this alliance has basically nothing to do with Alano.

"An oil company,"

He Ao tapped the table lightly. Bank loans, though called help, are actually investments, only charging 3% interest. For bankers, this is considered 'help'.

After all, for them, earning less or not earning anything is a loss.

For a local warlord, a loan of 25 million gold coins plus interest was something he would definitely not be able to repay once he borrowed and used it.

Then the only options are to sell to the civilians of Alano and the cargo ships at sea. As long as they exploit the land quickly enough, they can pay off their debts soon and even make a fortune.

Twenty-five million in a year and a half.

So Free Sailors

Notorious for its brutality.

If he were a proper warlord, this might be a good choice, but unfortunately, He Ao was not a proper warlord.

Heo turned on his satellite phone, found the deeds to the Free Marines' properties that Zono had taken over, which Zono had sent him, and then handed them to the messenger.

"Take a look, how much money can these be mortgaged for?"

The envoy took the phone, checked it carefully for a while, made a few more calls, and after about an hour, he gave He Ao a number.

"After calculation, your properties are worth about 100 million gold coins. Under the current circumstances, if you want to take out a mortgage loan, we can lend you up to 75%, which is 75 million gold coins, and the interest rate is below 3%."

At this moment, He Ao had already walked out of the office and was standing on the street.

His gaze swept over the blood on the ground, and he said softly, "Seventy-five million is too scattered. Let's round it up to one hundred million."

The messenger opened his mouth, "Is this how you use rounding?"

But he also saw the blood on the ground.

He ultimately made no sound.

"I don't want your aid loan anymore, I'll just use it as collateral."

He Ao glanced at him and said, "The mortgage term is one year. If the collateral exceeds its value in the end, I won't ask you for it. If it's undervalued, don't ask me to make up the difference."

Doesn't this mean they'd sell us those industries for 100 million, and we'd have to wait a year to receive them?

The envoy realized something was amiss, but still tried to maintain a smile and said slowly, "Your properties are all within the Coast Guard's territory. If something goes wrong, we might not be able to take them over."

“That’s your problem,” He Ao smiled. “Didn’t you come to help me? My products are not selling well right now, and I really need your help.”

The envoy's face turned almost completely black.

“Mr. Hu Wen, since you are unwilling to accept our ‘help,’ don’t make fun of us.”

He looked at He Ao, his face finally no longer concealing his true feelings.

“You are just one of the many warlords, big and small, in Alano. We are willing to help you and support you to rise up because we think highly of you. If you are not willing, we can support others.”

You possess extraordinary power, but the Empire is not lacking in extraordinary individuals. Before the Empire, I hope you can set aside your arrogance, for the arrogant often pay the price with their lives.

This is already a naked threat.

He Ao glanced at the messenger.

This envoy is still too young and doesn't have a good mindset.

He slowly crouched down, picked a piece of scab from a crack in the road beneath his feet, and crushed it little by little. He smiled at the messenger and said slowly.

“Yesterday, this person tried to ambush me from behind, and then he fell to the ground, and blood flowed out from here, flowing through this crevice,”

He crouched down, taking steps forward, his fingers tracing the crimson crevice. "It kept flowing here, flowing and flowing, until it reached this little ditch... Oh, the bloodstains here have been washed away..."

He Ao stood up, walked to the envoy's side, and held his hands slightly in front of the envoy's cheeks, making a shape, and smiled. "I still remember what he looked like. He was about your age, and about the same size... The knife went in here..."

The envoy stared blankly at the refined man before him, watching him gesture at his neck and his smiling face.

He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, and fear spread through him layer by layer.

His body was stiff and trembling. He wanted to escape, but he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even lift his feet.

"Young people shouldn't be too impatient,"

He patted him on the shoulder, straightened his clothes, and looked at the sweat dripping down his face.

"I'm being very sincere. Go back and tell your masters that I think they'll accept my proposal. If they still need to consider it, I remember the Free Marines' territory has three oil fields..."

Chapter 335 You've Arrived? (Please add to your favorites, subscribe, and vote with monthly tickets)

These three oil fields were found by He Ao using a search engine in the classroom, referring to Alarno's map. There is a lot of information about these large oil fields online.

Of these three oil fields, even the worst one has a daily output of over 90,000 barrels. Currently, the international crude oil price is 300 Tiya gold guilders per barrel, so 90,000 barrels would be worth over 27 million Tiya gold guilders.

Have you ever seen an oil field burning? I've heard it's like hell. I've never seen it.

He Ao smiled and released his grip, looking at the envoy, "Perhaps we will have a chance to meet."

"'Moonlight' will not let you off the hook."

The messenger finally mustered his courage and roared.

Moonlight is a superhuman organization within the Tia Empire.

“They can come.”

He shrugged. "Perhaps I can visit the Tia Empire sometime."

Looking at He'ao's calm expression, the envoy suddenly felt all the strength in his heart drain away.

He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a top-tier superhuman, a figure standing at the pinnacle of individual power in this world.

A powerful and unrestrained superhuman.

The killing could take place in this small town or in the metropolis of the Tia Empire.

At that moment, the messenger realized that the world had changed.

His previous understanding of power and balance, and the methods he developed based on it, were gradually becoming inapplicable to this new world system.

Are you really one of Dawn's people?

He stared blankly at He Ao.

He had met other important figures from Dawn before, but these figures all more or less adhered to the established order and rules, at least on the surface.
