Chapter 685 Mr. Man pays the bill!

The two groups rushed back to their temporary base in the capital, which was the suite of the Blue Rose Hotel, as quickly as possible.

This place was prepared for them by King Kenredin. It was strictly checked beforehand and was safe enough that no one would leak out what they were talking about here.

The most inconvenient part of using the [Instant Messenger] to communicate was that Prince Fladin could not participate.

No matter what information Pete received, he had to repeat it in full and pass it on to Fladin.

Prince Fladin had been confused since he learned that the Gilded Club had a big problem. At this moment, the two sides finally met and did not need Pete to relay the information. They quickly exchanged the information they had learned with each other.

"So, what you mean is..."

"The Gilded Club was a huge scam from the beginning. There was not so much gold coins in it. Now this scam is about to fail?!"

Prince Fladin was shocked.

Gale nodded heavily: "Based on the current signs, I'm afraid... yes."

"We have reason to infer that Rune Monger has been using various means to maintain the normal operation of the Gilded Club over the years, and secretly transferring the absorbed gold coins to the cultists to support their sacrificial activities."

"Even if Monger can really use these gold coins to invest and earn more gold coins, it is unlikely that he can maintain such a stable and high income every year."

"Don't forget that he also has to transfer some gold coins to the evil god believers of the Supreme Truth Church. In other words, his income must be higher than 8%, which is extremely unreasonable."

Whether it is a chamber of commerce, a shop or a traveling merchant, even including nobles and professionals.

Usually, when they begin to express that they encounter various difficulties and cannot fulfill their promises, especially when this promise is related to gold coins.

No matter what new conditions they promise, there is a high probability that these conditions are their tricks to delay time.

In history, such things are not uncommon.

This is likely a sign that the other party intends to run away with the money!

"There are too many suspicious points in the consecutive events."

"If we hadn't found the investment certificates from the wealthy people in Green Harbor in Marquis Madison's manor, these things would only remain at the level of speculation, and might really be just coincidence."

"But those investment certificates are almost ironclad evidence."

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain such an abnormal and weird situation."

Prince Fradin gasped.

Things are getting complicated.

How many gold coins did the Gilded Club absorb?

Prince Fradin didn't know the exact number, but he probably heard about it.

At least 80% of the emerging nobles in the capital invested almost all the gold coins they earned through various means into the Gilded Club.

These people are very close to Rune Monger, and most of them simply regard the Gilded Club as a savings bank.

The "Carron United Savings" created by the goblin tycoon Carron only gives depositors an annual return of about 0.5% to 2%, and the latter is the return ratio that can only be enjoyed after depositing for up to 10 years.

Depositing 100 gold coins is equivalent to only 50 silver to 2 gold in return each year, and it cannot be withdrawn at any time.

The Gilded Club has a stable return of 8 gold per year, which is simply better than the Carron Joint Savings.

In addition, there are many ordinary citizens in the capital.

For example, Miranda's father Vance Warren, they became the so-called "lucky ones" and were considered by Rune Monger as "people favored by wealth" and obtained the qualification to join the Gilded Club.

Although they themselves cannot invest a large amount of gold coins like the nobles, it is not a problem to fill their quota by borrowing money.

Vance Warren only invested the basic 20 gold coins and did not try to fill it up completely because he believed in the God of Radiance.

In the doctrine, excessive greed for wealth is a thing that should make people feel guilty.

Therefore, he firmly "invested" only 20 gold.

But Vance Warren is a minority among the minority.

Others who are eligible to become members of the Gilded Club basically borrow as much money as they can to ensure that they can "earn" the most profit every year.

Although these people don't invest as much money in the club as the nobles in the capital, maybe 100 ordinary citizens can't match one noble.

But their number base is not small.

And now they tell Fradin that this is a scam?

"Doesn't that mean that the nobles' gold coins have been spent by Rune Monger?!" Prince Fradin was shocked and said, "Used to support the cultists you mentioned?!"

Gail thought for a moment and nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid so."

Prince Fradin was almost half crazy after hearing this: "Then they have to tear Rune Monger to pieces? This will cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, right?"

Pate coughed lightly, raised his index finger, and reminded Prince Fradin:

"Your Highness, you forgot one thing."

"So far, on the surface, the Gilded Club is doing fine, including the current suspension of redemption. According to what they said, this is only temporary and will return to normal soon."

"So before the Gilded Club really has problems, the nobles can't tear Rune Monger to pieces."

"Because it is in a state of suspension of redemption, no one, whether you or I or the nobles of the capital, can verify whether there are any gold coins in the Gilded Club."

Prince Fradin could not help but complain: "But we found evidence..."

Gail interrupted: "It's useless."

"Do you think if we stand up at this time, raise our arms and shout, and tell everyone that the Gilded Club is a scam, will the nobles of the capital believe what we say?"

"Or, what do you think they will do to deal with this so-called scam?"

Prince Fradin was stunned: "They should... Oh! Fuck! Damn it!"

The prince couldn't help but swear.

He's not stupid, he just didn't think in that direction before.

When everyone realized that there might be problems with the Gilded Club, everyone's first reaction would be to "run away."

But the premise of running away is that they can take out the gold coins they invested.

Even if they can't take out all of them, at least they have to take out part of them.

If you want to redeem, the prerequisite is that the Gilded Club is still "operating normally."

Those who run first can use the gold coins of the unlucky ones who run slower as their own money.

Those who don't have time to run away will become the victims of this scam.

For the nobles, they are absolutely unwilling to accept the practice of immediately verifying how much money is left in the Gilded Club.

Because that may lead to the end of the Gilded Club, and they will not get a penny back;

Before that, they must try their best to make themselves pay and run away first, so that this shocking thunder will explode completely!

...

There will be 3 more in the evening.

The thunder is finally going to explode, touching!
