Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

If it is really astronomically expensive, he can't afford it, but he can afford to snatch it.

Ye felt no remorse at all for robbing the slave traders.

Crassus: “…………”

I didn’t expect that this rich man was such a picky person, as he was so willing to pay the Spartans before.

At this time, they were not so generous to the Thracians.

never mind--

A profit of 1.5 times is also very high.

Crassus, unable to suppress his inner urge, finally said sorry to Lord Marius in his heart.

It’s not that he didn’t keep his promise, but the other party’s price was too high!

Finally, Crassus sold another fifty Thracian warriors to Ye. When there were only thirty-five Thracian warriors left, it was not that Crassus had a change of heart and left them to Marius, but that Crassus wanted to raise the price...

But I don’t want even a minute more of Ye!

Finally, when it came time to pay, Ye said that he didn't bring that much money with him, but his friend did, so he asked Crassus to go with him to get it.

Crassus had no doubts either.

After all, his subordinates had informed him before he came. They saw Ye having a pleasant conversation with people from the Caesar family before. Also, considering Ye's appearance and temperament, he knew that this kind of person should not be a liar.

And when Crassus saw who Ye’s friend was, he was stunned...it was him——?

……

Gnaeus Pompeius was in a bad mood at this time.

He felt that he had been tricked, a full twenty talents.

Especially when he brought Crassus that night and Caesar's family, who heard that they were coming to collect the debt and followed to share the gambling money he won, when he saw this group of noble people gathered together to ask him for money -

There was a fire burning in Pompey's heart.

He first looked at Listaye, slightly stunned by his handsome and strong figure that was comparable to the sun god Apollo. As the future Roman god of war—

Gnaeus, who was destined to make the name of Pompey shine, might not be as strong as Spartacus in terms of hard power, but he was far beyond ordinary people and reached the level of a hero.

Gneus was extremely gifted in combat, and his physical development was perfect. His vigorous vitality made him look like a monster in the eyes of his peers, and they could not find anyone who could compete with him.

Because of this powerful strength, Gnaeus Pompey has always been very proud and confident. No matter what kind of enemy he faces, he can deal with it calmly and remain calm.

but--

When the young Pompey looked at the night, just like Spartacus when he first saw the night, he was attracted by the huge presence and felt a sense of crisis.

This person is not simple——!

Although he could not sense the difference in life levels between the two sides, the intuition and pressure that he would die if he started fighting finally made Pompey take it seriously.

This man is incredibly strong, not even weaker than Spartacus in the arena just now.

When did so many monsters appear in Rome?

Pompey looked at Queen Ye with fear, but did not show much hostility. Instead, he suddenly and fiercely locked his gaze on Crassus who was beside Ye.

"Mr. Crassus...right? Although I have heard your name many times, I think this is the first time we meet."

night:???

Gnaeus Pompeius's sudden hostility towards Crassus was not to be trifled with.

He had been prepared to teach Gnaeus how to pay if he was as disobedient as his father once was.

Unexpectedly, he set his sights on Crassus.

Is the relationship between these two people so bad now?

I haven't heard of Pompey and Crassus starting a war during this period.

At this time, Crassus was even more stunned——

Although this was the first time that Pompey and Crassus met, Crassus had his own methods and channels, and had already obtained the portraits of some young people or big figures in Rome who were worthy of investment, so he believed that this young master Pompey was the best.

The other party is now causing trouble under Sulla's command. It is worth mentioning that the young master's father, Strabo Pompey, and Sulla did not get along well.

But in order to get involved in the Roman army that had been completely controlled by Sulla, Pompey joined Sulla's camp despite his father's opposition.

He has been away for several years and has just returned when he is nearly thirty years old... He has become an outstanding general who can lead an army on his own.

There was naturally no reason for Crassus to deliberately target such a promising young man.

But what is this hostility?

The cruel look in his eyes, which seemed to want to kill him, made Crassus shudder with fear.

Has the fact that he supports Lord Marius been exposed? !

Sulla sent Pompey to kill him?

Chapter 169 Night: I have no interest in humiliating men, but Mrs. Pompey is pretty good.

“Well, Your Excellency Gnaeus Pompey, I am here to collect the twenty talents that originally belonged to me.

And my companions, please pay the money you won from your bets. "Ye interrupted Pompey's eye magic on Crassus.

When he heard Ye's words, Pompey finally looked away.

Crassus breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he almost thought he was going to die.

Although other people didn't feel it, when Pompey was staring at him, Crassus had a creepy intuition that was more terrifying and scary than being stared at by a lion.

It's like a prehistoric monster that can crush you with one foot at any time.

At this time, Crassus had already decided -

The remaining thirty-five Thracian warriors were not sent away either.

Being targeted by such a person, Crassus really couldn't sleep in the middle of the night if he didn't find some strong warriors to protect himself.

Even if he had known that Pompey would be so strong after training outside for a few years, he would not have bet on Spartacus so quickly.

No wonder Marius was in urgent need of powerful fighting force. Was it to be used to deal with Pompey in Sulla's camp?

If I had known this earlier, I should have kept Spartacus by my side and protected him.

certainly--

The most important thing is that Crassus still believes that Spartacus is not trustworthy, otherwise he would want to go back on his word and keep Spartacus.

"Twenty talents! Why don't you go and rob!" Gaius Octavian beside Pompey spoke angrily at this time. Pompey's friends, some young people who were also nobles, also looked at Ye and others unkindly at this moment.

“Sir Gaius Octavian, if you don’t speak, no one will think you are stupid.

I bet twenty talents and won the bet.

This money is mine - I'm getting my own money back, is that a problem?"

"No problem..." Gnaeus Pompey smiled. He suppressed the younger brothers who wanted to get up and looked at Ye with deep eyes.

"But I don't have that much money right now...just write me an IOU first."

“Have you ever seen IOUs written on a gambling table? As the organizer, they can’t even take out the money. This is really strange.

What if I said I want it now...

Mr. Crassus next to me is still waiting for me to pay. It is not a good habit to keep people waiting for a long time.

Send someone to get the money. I can wait here for you."

It would have been better if Ye didn't say anything, but as soon as he heard that he still wanted to give Crassus money.

Pompey, who immediately had the wrong idea, was shocked...

Damn it! It's you, Crassus! I'm afraid you paid for the 20 talents bet. You deliberately found a noble from the Lista family of this generation to attract my attention and lure me into the trap!

Finally, the trump card Spartacus is sent to appear, and the winnings will be divided up after the bet is won!

Pompey had no choice but to send one of his followers back to the family to ask for money. He wanted to resist Ye's dominance and rudeness, but although the other party looked smiling, in fact, an invisible force had already locked onto him.

Pompey even suspected that if he dared to say no to the money, his head would be blown up the next moment.

No, this feeling is too weird.

He absolutely did not believe that someone had just attacked him in public. That was an insult to the Pompey family. It was unlikely that the other party would kill him, but they might beat him up.

Although Pompey was still very confident in his own strength, even though Ye's oppression was very strong, how could he know who was stronger without fighting? But he did not want to fight with others over such a thing, as that would be very ungraceful.

When Pompey's men returned to the family with the news, Strabo Pompey happened to be at home. When he heard that his son owed twenty talents as soon as he returned, his face immediately darkened.

Strabo, who was already dissatisfied with Gnaeus for following Sulla, originally didn't want to care about his ungrateful son, but when he heard who had the bet with him.

"Tell me again, to whom did Gnaeus lose twenty talents?"

"It's a young noble named Listaye..."

"......!! Fuck!" Strabo's face suddenly became even more stinky, but he still immediately took people to rescue his son.

If it was someone else, knowing the reputation of the Pompey family, they might still give him some face, but if it was Lista——

Even if that guy had chopped off Gnaeus's ear and sent it back to him, Strabo would have believed it. This guy was a lawless man, more difficult to deal with than Marius, more terrifying and unruly than Sulla!

Strabo, who had just rushed out, remembered that he had forgotten to bring any money, so he quickly asked someone to start packing it - twenty talents.

This number was so subtle and familiar that it made Strabo feel even more uncomfortable.

When he brought his men to the arena—

He saw his intact son and the familiar devil figure in Crassus' private backyard, while Strabo ignored everyone else around.

He looked at Listaye coldly, suppressed the trembling in his heart, straightened his clothes, and then walked forward calmly.

"Don't go too far...Lista Ye!!" Strabo roared in a low voice, almost suppressing his anger.

He tried to save some face as the patriarch of the Pompeii clan.

"This is the last time!! The Pompey family does not want to be your enemy, but they will not be afraid of anyone!"

But Ye ignored Strabo and kicked a box open instead of him, and saw that it was full of gold.

Ye: “That’s right—I like generous and open-minded friends like you.

Then, my fearless friend, please help me count the wealth here in front of me and see if there are twenty talents."

Originally, it was just an accident that the Pompey clan was betrayed again, but Ye was not satisfied with Strabo's attitude. Did this idiot think that he was a different person after becoming the clan leader and putting on new clothes?

Dignity is never gained by words, but by strength and fists! ~!

Strabo was about to retort, but Ye just gave him a look. Strabo's body suddenly froze. Then, out of fear in his heart, he subconsciously bent over and walked to the treasure chest. When his hand picked up the first gold coin, he suddenly woke up -

His face turned extremely red!

What am I doing?!

How could you be so scared just because of a word or a look from this man?

Even doing things that only servants would do?

At this time, let alone Strabo himself, everyone around him, including Ye, Gnaeus Pompey, looked at Strabo in surprise.

Ye's expression became a little strange...

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the most important thing was that he was too lazy to count how many gold coins he had to pay to Crassus for the transaction.

It just so happened that Strabo brought a number of servants with him to help with the work, so he simply asked the servants to count his wealth, and dividing it up made it much easier.

But Ye never expected that Strabo would actually bend down to count them himself.

Oh oh, in front of the future Roman God of War, he made his father bow his head and serve him, fuck - this wave is too evil.

He actually had no interest in humiliating such a weakling. If it was the beautiful Mrs. Pompey, he might be interested.

As a man, it is another kind of humiliation for a high-status and beautiful woman.
