Chapter 115 115
Chapter 32. Just This?
Char left the carriage with a normal expression, and even returned a bow to Orivande, who was looking over from afar.
In the carriage, Felix thought that Char had gone crazy.
You borrowed money but did not return it, and you borrowed money from the United Holy Kingdom.
If he was not a lunatic, then what was he?
This would definitely cause a huge mess!
However, his heart was still beating violently.
He swallowed his saliva and an astronomical figure flashed through his mind.
It was an unimaginable number.
Char did not just say borrow money and not return it, he also explained the strategy of how to operate it. To ensure that all 17 banks simultaneously take out the gold coins that they had emptied out their local reserves.
Felix was sure that the money would indeed go into their pockets.
The key was the timing. Even if the bank branches used magic messages to send messages to each other, they would only do so after the money went into their pockets. With the reputation and strength of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, they could directly obtain the money without having to wait for an audit...
Thinking about it carefully, this was an incredible matter.
Why were people so resistant to borrowing money from the bank?
This was because the relationship between ordinary people and banks was an ordinary loan relationship. If you could not pay back the money, you would sell everything you had to mortgage your property.
That was why he was afraid.
However, the Chamber of Commerce was bound to the bank.
The bank lent out the money because the Chamber of Commerce could make money, and also because they had the confidence to repay the huge interest.
Even if it did not work out, the Chamber of Commerce could still sell their assets!
This kind of binding was bound together for good or bad. A Chamber of Commerce that went bankrupt after taking a loan would not only have the blood of the Chamber of Commerce but also the blood of the bank!
They were more worried than anyone that the Chamber of Commerce could not pay back...
Therefore, after borrowing money. Such a large amount of gold coins that was on the verge of destroying the bank, the debtor became the active party.
"When you owe the bank a hundred gold coins, you are in trouble. However, when you owe the bank 10 billion gold, the bank will be in trouble."
These were Char's words before she left, and Felix felt that they made more and more sense.
Yes!
It seemed like...
It was indeed so.
Suddenly, Felix came to a realization that he was actually thinking of such a terrifying thing! It really should not have happened!
However
How could he forget this?
It was night time, and the team successfully walked out of the corpse swamp. Everyone was relieved.
Not a single person died!
Orivande stood at the edge of the swamp and looked back. He still felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing.
When he saw Char, he seemed to have an answer.
However, this answer made him even more uneasy.
What was this guy trying to do?
After setting up the camp, the soldiers were on night duty. Char stood beside the sleeping Evelyn, who was still wearing her clothes, and peeked at Felix's tent.
If he was not mistaken, the bewitchment had already begun, right?
Felix had fallen asleep.
He was still thinking about Char's plan a second before he fell asleep.
After thinking about it too many times, his resistance to it was slowly worn away. Instead, the astronomical figure became clearer and clearer.
He fell into a deep sleep and then had a dream.
The dream was extremely clear.
He was on a boat in a winding river. The river seemed to be cast in gold, and the boat he was on and the trees on both sides of the shore were all the same.
This world was golden and dazzling, it was simply blinding!
Felix could not get out, and he was soon immersed in it.
Until a voice resounded through the sky.
"Do you desire wealth?"
His voice was hoarse and filled with supreme power, and Felix was so terrified that he almost wet his pants. He shrunk his neck and said submissively, "Yes."
"I can give you an unlimited amount of gold coins, as long as you submit to me."
What?
The fat merchant was less flustered now. He blinked.
"Has... you learned mathematics before?"
"What?"
His voice suddenly became louder. "Are you questioning me? You dare to question me?"
"No, I don't mean to question anyone."
Felix was lying on the boat, and he said respectfully, "I just want to say that gold coins are countable currency. It must be able to tell that the countless gold coins are a lie. I often say this."
The voice was silent for a moment.
"I can give you an uncountable amount of gold coins!"
Felix smiled in embarrassment and tried to please him.
"You're joking, I'll definitely be able to count it."
"Enough! Lowly mixed-blood humans. You have a net asset of 11758 gold coins and two properties, five stallions, and a farm in the Alfie town on the edge of Andaheim."
"Yes, you really understand it."
I can give you the power that everyone fears, and from there, you can get gold coins a hundred times more than your current wealth.
The voice was full of temptation.
"And the respect of others, such as the Elves..."
"So what do I have to pay? What should I use to buy this wealth?" Felix asked in fear.
"Your faith, your conscience, your everything."
The voice continued to tempt him, "You should understand that the more you pay, the greater your gains will be..."
Following his bewitchment, the river water around Felix rose up, mixing with the surrounding trees, birds, and even the clouds in the sky. The golden liquid formed a magnificent manor that was even more beautiful than the most splendid palace in the forest capital! Guests in their best attire and servants in uniform came and went.
The Elves, who usually never looked at him, bowed and greeted him.
It felt great.
It felt really good!
Felix felt so good that his soul was about to fly!
However, it was nothing after the pleasure.
The merchant thought about it in his mind. It would only cost him 10 to 20 million gold coins to build such a large manor and coat it with gold powder.
Well, it was a huge number that he did not even dare to think about.
If it had been a day ago, he might have lost the courage to calculate and become intoxicated by this temptation.
However, he had an even more terrifying number hidden in his heart.
Ten to twenty million?
What a ridiculous number.
Furthermore, he would have to pay the price of everything. It was not worth it.
Felix was someone who would sell out his conscience when offered the right price.
However the problem was...
'With such a price?
'Who are you looking down on?
'It was not worth it at all!'
The voice finished its performance, and Felix's business empire was built around it. The golden people were shouting Felix's name, and the sound of a tsunami was heard.
Then, everything returned to silence.
The voice asked, "Are you satisfied with all this?"
Felix yawned and smiled politely.
"Well..."
In fact, he was cursing in his heart.
The tone of this sentence was dragged out, and the golden light of the entire world came pressing down on Felix, and he was instantly destroyed by anger!
Felix suddenly sat up, his face covered in sweat. He took a few deep breaths before he realized what had just happened.
"So close..."
The fat merchant touched his face, his heart thumping.
Then, he remembered what Char said.
"When you owe the bank 10000 gold coins, you are in trouble. However, when you owe the bank a hundred million gold coins, the bank will be in trouble."
Well said...
Char left the carriage with a normal expression, and even returned a bow to Orivande, who was looking over from afar.
