As Wil entered the ga half an hour later, the guilds who previously gave him the gold to hire the guards now wanted to claim the refund and so, they can't help but asking Aster, who was online.
On the other hand, so of the guild leaders felt that Scarlet guild has no longer has any use to them and really decided to break the alliance as Ti Traveler was already dropped from the Top-10 rankings of the city.
What they were truly afraid of are the level-200 guards who can't be defeated even with a 1000 mber army.
Now that Ti Traveler can't even hire them, they felt it's ti East Ocean City has a proper ruler.
Ti Traveler: Don't worry; it's just a small matter. Just send all of them a ssage that they will receive their refunds. Collect the details of which guardian they hired before. Now, tell the status of the new guild.
Shadow Blade: Young master, there are a total of 8 mbers, who changed their profession to non-combat ones. The leader of our subsidiary guild is MountainRock who chose Alchemist and the Vice-leader is FierySnake who chose Blacksmith.
Reading the ssage, Wil nodded with satisfaction.
"It's good that there are 8 mbers willing to change their class. Now, all that's left is promoting. Aster will take care of it.
Oh, I nearly forgot about the currency. Let's see the exchange rate."
While he landed on the ground and started walking into the city, Wil then opened the official website and checked the currency exchange tab.
"Hmm, 1 Silver coin can be exchanged with 2952 credits. That ans 1 gold coin=295200 credits. That's almost double the rate as before. Sumrsoft charges a 5% commission. So, for every 1 gold if the transaction, they get 15000 credits. What a steal
Oh, there's a 100 gold transaction limit per each account? And it was only available from 08:00 09:00, 16:00 -17:00, and 23:00 00:00 hours?"
Wil scoffed, "what's the use of that. The restrictions can easily be bypassed with mbers in the end."
As the exchange rate is going to be closed in 15 minutes more, Wil imdiately sent a ssage to Aster.
Ti Traveler: Before the exchange rate closed down, I want 1000 gold. Oh, and just handle the refund process by yourself. And make sure to note down the nas of the guilds.
anwhile, Aster was busy working with MountainRock and FierySnake as they were in the middle of promoting the Silvershapers guild. Since no one truly knows the potential of Life professions, they didn't try to hinder their promotions and so even supported them as they thought Scarlet focuses on being a supporting guild.
As Aster received a ssage from Wil, he stopped his work and read it. Then, he sent back the ssage.
Shadow Blade: But, Young master. We don't have enough funds for it. You just have 380,000 Dollars on your debit card. And you only have 16 million credits left to spend through the credit card. Together, we hardly have 20 million credits while we need 300 million credits for 1000 gold.
Ti Traveler: But, yesterday, Dad said that you'll give a no-limit card.
Shadow Blade: Yes, Lord Philip told . I already inford the HQ. They said that the bank will send it to your address by evening or by tomorrow morning.
Reading the ssage, Wil mumbled, "Hmm, it isn't that long but I don't want to wait. The first one to take the initiative will have the upper hand."
He imdiately sent a ssage to Aster.
Ti Traveler: Then, borrow 100 million dollars from the CEO and put them on my tab. I'll just transfer the money as soon as I receive the card from the bank.
Aster gasped as their expenditure on gold increased from re millions of credits to hundreds of millions so casually.
Shadow Blade: 1 Billion credits?
Ti Traveler: If it's too much, 500 million would do. We should always have extra cash on our hands, right? That's why. Why? Is even 50 million dollars too much for the CEO to lend or sothing?
Shadow Blade: I'll make sure to buy 1000 gold in 15 minutes.

Reading the ssage, Wil grinned, "even after getting dad's permission, if I still think like my older self to conserve money, I'll go nowhere."
Half an hour later, City Administration Building;
As Wil entered the hall, he saw a familiar lina, who seems to be busy along with other elves as a lot of players ford lines to migrate to East Ocean City.
"Hey, lina"
Upon hearing a familiar tone, she turned her and saw Wil. A smile appeared on her face as she quickly stood up and hurried forward to greet him while ignoring the players.
Looking at the change in attitude, the players who ford a line, as well as the ones in other lines, turned their attention towards Wil as lina bowed and greeted, "welco, Lord Ti Traveler."
While a few players scoffed as they thought he's just a noble who was probably a baron because they think every NPC address baron and above grade nobles as lords and treat with respect, soone from the crowd exclaid, "its TiTraveler, Guild leader of Scarlet."
"Scarlet? Never heard of it" "How co you never heard of it? They were ntioned everywhere in the forums. It's the key guild that brought the revolution against a top guild here and locked down the leveling areas with the help of high-level guardians" "yeah, I heard that more than 20 thousand players migrated to other cities" "Ah, I know it too. I heard it was backed up by Scarlet Securities" "It is the hidden ruler of this city" "I see. He's the one who hired dozens of guardians and lend it to other guilds to take over the leveling spots"
As they started murmuring among themselves, Wil said, "I'm here to buy lands."
Under everyone's gaze, Milena led Wil to the first floor.
As Wil looked at the map again, he saw only 38 of Grey plots were available. He looked at her and asked, "Last ti I was here, there are 63 grey plots, 12 Green plots and 9 red are available, right?"
Milena nodded, "yes. But, 30 minutes ago, soone bought 10 Grey plots and all of the remaining ones. So, these are the only ones available."
"Fine, I'll just buy remaining all of them."
As he took out the pouches, he saw lina's eyes changed to purple. Handing the gold to her, Wil comnted, "You are observing my fa again."
Upon hearing it, Milena imdiately retracted her power and apologized, "I'm sorry. Sotis, I can't help but"
Wil waved his hand with a smile, "its fine. I don't mind. So, what do think?"
Milena replied with amazent while she was handing out all the land deeds, "Lord, you are already qualified for Earl. And you aren't too far to even beco a Marquis if it's just fa."
"I know. By the way, what is your current salary?"
lina instantly replied, "5 gold per week" while thinking why did Wil ask such an unusual question.
Wil, who guessed her thoughts looked at her into the eyes, "lina, I will be direct with you. Once I beco an Earl, are you willing to work for ?" asked Wil.
"Eh?" lina was taken aback, "work for you?"
Wil smiled, "it is neither a respectful job you are doing right now nor you will get to earn any commissions from every successful work. But, what I can offer you is a stable high salary of at least ten tis your current pay.
It's a job offer for the position of head manager for all the stores I will build in these 53 lands that I bought.
If you are willing, we can talk about the contract details after they were built."
