Chapter 698 The crowd was outraged and completely crazy!
The rumors that are raging in the royal capital, under the careful guidance of MI6 spies, have one detail in common:
"The gold coins in the Gilt Club have been misappropriated."
But no one knows exactly how much was appropriated.
In the eyes of everyone who has just learned the news.
It is possible that only a small part is used;
It is possible that a lot has been used;
Or it may have been completely used up!
No matter which one, everyone knows very well that the money left in the Gilt Club may not be enough to return everyone's principal.
There are only so many gold coins.
If someone else takes it first, you won’t get it!
This time is the real "slow boy pays the bill" session!
When the news escalated to "all the nobles in the royal capital have gone to the Gilt Club, and they want to withdraw all the money they have saved."
The situation was completely out of control.
"Go quickly and take out all the gold coins in the Gilt Club. If you get there late, they will be gone!"
"Those nobles want to withdraw hundreds of thousands of gold coins at once. Their family has a big business. It doesn't matter if they lose the money. All my savings are in there. Let me withdraw it first!!"
"I mortgaged all the old houses in the old city. The gold coins I invested in them have been less than 3 years old. I should withdraw them first, otherwise my house will be lost!"
Once a panic stampede is formed.
Any order, rules, or excuses are all nonsense.
Everyone will be driven by the instinct of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" and burst out with the most essential idea:
run!
They don't need to run faster than danger.
Just run faster than everyone else!
No one had the patience to verify whether the "nobles" who arrived at the Gilded Club for the first time were actually them.
In the face of gold, especially large amounts of gold, most people will completely lose their minds.
The remaining few who can barely maintain their sanity will also be affected by the fanatical atmosphere and fall into blindness.
Even if there are very few people, everyone is drunk and I am alone.
At this time, they did not dare to speak out.
The power of the crowd is almost infinite at this moment.
The Gilded Club was soon completely overwhelmed by citizens of the royal capital, minor nobles, and even big nobles who came from all directions after learning the news.
"Cash it! Cash it! Cash it!"
"Open the vault! Take out the gold inside!!"
"I want to quit and give me my money back!"
"I invested 1,500 gold, so I will redeem mine first! I am an important member and should be redeemed first!!"
"..."
There were also some middlemen mingling in the crowd, waving special "investment notes" in their hands and shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Hey! Hey! Martin! You are responsible for cashing in my gold, so you must give priority to mine!"
"Otherwise you just wait to end up with Master Meng!"
These middlemen are the most anxious.
They played a game of connections. They didn't spend a penny of their own capital, and they earned commissions by moving around between investment specialists like Martin and retail investors.
If they can't get the money back, they may have no choice but to seize the opportunity to keep an eye on the nearest goblin airship and run away from the capital overnight.
Otherwise, the citizens of the royal capital who handed them the money would definitely tear them alive!
The docking specialists and service waiters in the club were confused by the torment.
When Rune Monger arrived earlier, they were dripping with sweat.
Now...it has become a mess!
Someone tried to explain to the irrational crowd:
"Everyone, please be patient. The Gilt Club has suspended redemptions. We are checking the lost investment certificates. Please wait until the restoration is completed..."
But it's no use at all.
I don't know who took off his smelly leather boots and threw them at the waiter who spoke, hitting him squarely in the head!
"The person who lost the certificate is the unscrupulous goblin from Greenport! It has nothing to do with us!"
"We haven't lost our vouchers. You can definitely find them somewhere. Cash them for us quickly!!!"
"That's right! Open the vault immediately!!!"
More smelly boots, rotten scarves, and tattered felt hats were thrown by the angry and crazy crowd, and there was even a piece of bloody cotton thrown by someone who didn't know who.
I have to say it.
Almost none of the workers in these gilded clubs are innocent.
The only people who would have been affected by this disaster were the "lucky ones" with membership.
Because only they can invest gold coins into the gilded club.
But these people in the Gilded Club secretly withheld a large amount of investment quota, and then carried out secondary fund-raising operations, successfully expanding the scope of the disaster significantly.
Although everyone knows the truth: injustice has its owner, and debt has its owner.
But is it useful to find these people?
They don’t have any gold coins of their own!
If you crush them to ashes, gold will not grow out of them!
If you really want to get your money back, you must still find a gilding club!
Before the scene intensified and was about to get completely out of control, someone in the crowd exclaimed:
"The vault has been opened!!!"
The people who were attracted to the scene turned around and immediately became excited!
A slim figure gradually faded into the shadows, leaving only a glimpse of her. Behind her, the multiple secret locks and detonating and locking devices on the door to the underground vault had been completely removed.
The appearance of this scene only added fuel to the fire!
When the first person couldn't hold back his thoughts and rushed towards the vault door.
Regardless of whether his idea was simply to get back his gold coins, or he was planning to take advantage of the chaos to make a big fortune in the treasury.
His actions have given everyone great encouragement.
Totally crazy.
"Rush!!!"
"The gold is all there, and it will be gone if you leave it too late!"
"Mengge has been captured, and the Gilded Club will be finished soon. We can't control that much!"
Someone seemed to be cheering themselves up by shouting.
With the first, there are the second, third and more.
People rushed towards the underground vault!
Just relying on the few manpower in the Gilt Club, there is no way to stop him!
"Index Finger" Evelin hid in the darkness, quietly observing the chaotic scene she had created with her own hands.
It was naturally her work to open the door to the underground vault.
She used the most violent method of forcible cracking. The locking device was paralyzed in advance with the magic scroll prepared for her by the Archmage Alkandas.
As for forcibly canceling the alarm?
joke! The scene is so chaotic, does it matter whether the alarm goes off or not?
There is no difference at all!
Sooner or later, the vault door will be forced open by the fanatical crowd.
Evelyn just gave them a little suitable help.
then……
When the crowd poured into the underground vault and saw the real scene inside.
Everyone is devastated!
…
besides
