Chapter 691 The richest man? The first loss!
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Grandpa Rune!"
Vladin led people to catch Rune Monger in the manor with ease.
The other party didn't even hear the first two calls. Vladin deliberately amplified his voice, which attracted Monger's attention.
Judging from the hurried appearance of the other party, he seemed to be planning to rush somewhere.
Of course, Vladin couldn't let Monger get his wish.
He stopped him with a smile.
"Grandpa Lu En, during this time, I have been communicating with the heroes about the details of the battle to defend the stone castle and stop the monsters."
"I have a new idea now!"
"If there are cultists who make similar moves in the Sanctuary Plain, awaken or summon some super-level 6 monsters, evil aberrations and other terrifying existences, and try to destroy the royal capital, we must be prepared in advance. Corresponding measures and means to deal with them, right? "
The white-haired Rune Monger seemed a little anxious, but because the person who stopped him was Prince Vladin, he had no choice but to respond patiently:
"Well...that's indeed the truth..."
"But Vladin, you know that this is Starosh, the safe capital of the kingdom."
"This place is different from the Stone Castle. The God of Glow is protecting you and me. It is impossible for the cultists to cause such a big disturbance here."
"So we don't actually need to worry about the possibility of such a disaster, right?"
Although the question ended with a question, Rune Monger's tone showed no intention of continuing to interact with Vladin. Instead, he tried to speed up his pace slightly, intending to leave without leaving a trace.
Vladin saw this and grinned.
No matter what Monger plans to do, the more anxious he is, the more it shows that their delay is useful!
"Ouch! You can't say that, Grandpa Luen!"
"We always have to take into account unexpected situations, such as the disaster that broke out in the Ceylon Territory before. There was also the protection of Glory there, but the local bishop caused the situation to evolve into that serious result for his own selfish interests."
"What if a similar situation happens here in the capital?"
"I think we should go to the sand table and simulate it carefully. If there is an extremely dangerous and powerful monster that intends to destroy the royal capital, how should we stop it."
Rune Monger's face turned green when he heard this.
He is really anxious now, quite anxious.
Because he was caught off guard by the incident about the Gilded Club and was very distressed.
When he used those monsters to try to destroy the heroic images of Pet, Miranda and Lancelot, Monger was already mentally prepared for the follow-up investigation.
But what he didn't expect was that the investigation actually implicated the Marquis of Madison.
Monger had a lot of "investments" and arrangements in the Marquis of Madison, and he had to rescue him, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
This made him somewhat passive.
But these investigations also gave Monger a whiff of opportunity.
An opportunity to stall for the Gilded Club.
Rune Monger had been waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Although the Gilt Club is indeed unable to withstand scrutiny, it is actually about to complete its "mission."
Monger is a businessman through and through.
After spending so much thought, making so much effort, and absorbing so much gold through the Gilt Club.
Unlike the dragon, he simply likes to hoard gold at home for eye candy.
Meng collects these golds naturally because they have a huge effect and can bring him huge rewards after the work is completed.
This reward is so great that he can give up his status as the richest man in the Mongolian Kingdom without hesitation.
Therefore, Monguet was prepared from the beginning for the gold-plated club to explode.
It's just that this thunder can't explode until he achieves his goal and retreats!
Now there is only a little time left.
As long as he can survive the payment at the end of the year, his long-term plan will be complete.
But after so many years of "investment", the money left in the Gilded Club is no longer enough to support Rune Monger through another round of redemption.
Even withdrawing the income alone is not enough, let alone the principal.
Forget about the Gilded Club.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Monger had actually secretly transferred almost all of his assets to the goblin tycoon Caron in Green Harbor.
Goblins have always wanted money rather than life. They seem to have the pursuit of wealth engraved in their DNA. Caron doesn't care what Monger plans to do. He only values the huge wealth these high-quality assets will bring to him in the future.
Monger transferred assets in exchange for a large amount of gold, which he then poured into his own "investment."
The richest man in the kingdom?
The kingdom’s first defeat!
The negative of debt!
In order to ensure that the usual piecemeal payment was not exposed, Luan Monger even had to temporarily open a gilded club branch in Green Harbor in the summer.
In this way, I can quickly absorb a sum of gold coins to support the last more than half a year.
Monger had planned it well.
Taking advantage of the "death" of Marquis Madison and the disappearance of the Liuxing Mercenary Group, the matter of the Gilded Club was also included in the incident, 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 burned and disappeared in the fire of Madison Marquis's manor, which could completely prove 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 don't know, but he knows it very well.
He can't stand the investigation now!
He doesn't dare to bet whether the king will force him to investigate at the risk of a sharp drop in his reputation.
So he plans to use the last remaining gold coins in his hand, use the "Trade and Fortune" newspaper, temporarily add more people, and guide the public opinion in the royal capital without leaving a trace to eliminate this risk!
He has done similar operations before, and finally all passed safely without any danger.
However, this time he didn't have time to arrange things, and "just happened" to be entangled by Prince Fradin!
He really didn't have time to play sand table simulation with Prince Fladin. A large-scale simulation would take more than ten hours or even several days.
God knows what consequences would be caused if public opinion fermented for a few more days.
Rune Monger tried to fool Fladin helplessly:
"Your Highness, I am indeed willing to discuss the possibility of simulation with you, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Fladin interrupted him enthusiastically.
"Oh! That's great!"
"I knew that Grandpa Rune would support my idea. What are we waiting for? Hurry up and start!"
Monger almost couldn't hold back the dirty words that came to his mouth!
How come this prince suddenly doesn't understand polite words!
