Chapter 982: 305. Local Snake Snake_2
Before stepping into this guest room, the “Hatred Value” was 553,000 points.
Now, it has risen to 555,000 points, an increase of 2,000 points.
This directly reflected the changes in Gregory Tote’s heart.
While his mouth was saying “Sorry, sorry, please understand,” in his heart he was thinking, “Oh no, what bad luck.”
Noland Lee pondered for a mont, then nodded expressionlessly and said,
“I hope the sa thing doesn’t happen next ti. The face of the Wealth Creation Society should not be trampled upon like this.”
...
“Yes, Mr. Jarvis, I assure you, this situation will only occur once, just this once.”
Gregory Tote forced a smile and said,
“Please let us overlook this embarrassing mont. Guided by the Co-Creation Council, I wanted to discuss an important matter with you…”
Noland Lee interrupted to ask,
“How did you know I was coming to the Eternal Lightning Ravine?”
In the just-obtained mory Fragnt One “Elder Skimming Light’s Order Book,” Elder Skimming Light only charged Gregory Tote with tracking Noland Lee’s whereabouts without explaining how he knew Noland would appear at the Eternal Lightning Ravine.
Noland was genuinely curious about the answer to this question.
Faced with the question, Gregory Tote’s smile was fake yet radiant:
“Sorry, Mr. Jarvis, but that is confidential information of the Wealth Creation Society. All I can say is that there is no wall in the world that doesn’t have ears, and we can always find traces of your whereabouts amidst the slightest clues.”
Noland’s expression darkened slightly, deliberately showing displeasure.
Gregory Tote went on to say,
“I understand that a wizard like you, who diligently studies magic, must be annoyed about having your whereabouts exposed. But please trust , the Wealth Creation Society approaches with a hundred percent sincerity in hoping to form a collaboration with you.”
“Hmph…” Noland grunted in dissatisfaction,
“A collaborative relationship? With a ‘wizard criminal’?”
Gregory Tote appeared unconcerned, ignoring Noland’s insinuation, and smiled:
“Are you familiar with our Wealth Creation Society?”
“Only the information from the textbooks at the Wizards Teaching Forest,” Noland responded indifferently.
Gregory Tote interlaced his fingers on the table, presenting like a salesperson:
“The Wealth Creation Society is a great wizard force that is committed to creating more wealth, seizing gold coins continuously from external sources. To beco an ordinary mber of our society, one needs to have ample gold coins. It is my pleasure to inform you, Mr. Jarvis, that based on the tax records we’ve obtained from the Departnt of Magic, you already et the criteria to join our society.”
Noland was slightly taken aback.
He had not expected that the other party was seeking to recruit him.
Could this be a trap set by the Pure Light Court?
Noland accessed the recently acquired mory fragnts in his mind, quickly finding mory Fragnt Three “Elder Skimming Light and Gregory Tote’s Communication Record,” and clicked to view.
With one look, the secrets of this guest room were no more.
Indeed!
Gregory Tote’s invitation for Noland to join the Wealth Creation Society was Elder Skimming Light’s idea all along.
Elder Skimming Light intended to bind Noland’s interest to the Co-Creation Council through the council’s rules and profits.
Elder Skimming Light hadn’t explicitly stated in the letter how to exploit the Co-Creation Council to strike at Noland in the future, but Noland could guess with his butt what was coming—a conspiracy involving “debt,” “bankruptcy,” and “massive compensation.”
Just by causing Noland to lose everything within the Wealth Creation Society, forcing him to sell the “Thundercloud Technique” blueprints, and to compensate the Deep Sea Branch with billions of gold coins, would all fall into place accordingly.
At the sa ti, Elder Skimming Light also instructed Gregory Tote to carefully observe Noland’s ntal trauma using magical monocle, to see if the latter had recovered from the magic backlashes.
Gregory Tote, wearing his monocle, watched Noland, who remained silent, still maintaining a cheerful deanor.
He stood up and paced half a circle around the desk:
“This is how it is, Mr. Jarvis. As an ordinary mber of the Wealth Creation Society, you can now accept the wealth creation tasks from the council. A Level One wealth creation task requires a minimum of 100 million gold coins as capital and takes from a month to half a year to complete. After completing the task, you can recoup your capital and on top of that, gain an additional cash return or equivalent, worth thirty to fifty percent of your initial capital.
“Of course, there is no one hundred percent guarantee of success for these tasks, and they co with significant risks. But as your guide, I will select the tasks with the highest success rates for you, greatly increasing your chance of success.”
Gregory Tote stopped in front of the table, smiling like a greedy rchant:
“The wealth creation task does not require your personal involvent. You just need to provide the funds. The rest, such as organizing the mining team, prospecting for ore veins, and other such operations, will be handled by professional wizard forces affiliated with the Wealth Creation Society. Such an effortless investnt can yield up to fifty percent net profit, a delicious opportunity many dream of. I wonder if you are interested?”
Noland continued to remain silent, watching Gregory Tote with the eyes of soone observing a swindler.
Gregory Tote removed his monocle and gently wiped it:
“I know you are uncomfortable with the operational thods of the Wealth Creation Society, considering us to be fraudsters. But please don’t think so. The Wealth Creation Society’s ability to generate wealth is universally acknowledged. You can boldly trust us, provided that you follow the terms of the Magic Contract and diligently carry out your duties.”
