Chapter 633: Wealth Moves People's Hearts

"Right, right, right, why didn't I think of this."

"If there are blueprints, the engineers under my command should be able to imitate it."

"In the future, when we can take down the Forsaken Territory, I will nominate you to be the person in charge of the Forsaken Port."

The guys who hadn't given up looked at the guy who made the proposal with shining eyes.

And upon hearing that he could be nominated as the person in charge of the largest and busiest port in the central part of the continent, this guy's heart also trembled.

What a joke, that was the Forsaken Port. Hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins in turnover and thousands of Gold Coins in revenue a day.

Who wouldn't be envious upon seeing it?

Thus...

"I really didn't pay attention to this. I never thought about doing anything with this thing before, but since everyone feels it's feasible, then I'll go back and look for it."

The guy who was clamoring just now suddenly became polite and exceptionally humble.

Making people who saw it couldn't help but shake their heads.

As expected, wealth really moves people's hearts.

However, seeing through it without pointing it out, under the face of profit, no one would laugh at the other party.

For example, if the other party could truly bring them profits, then no one would care about the mere lucrative position of a port manager.

As for whatever 'benefiting all mankind' their boss Li Mei proposed, that could only wait for now.

Wait until they benefited themselves, then they would have the ability to benefit all mankind.

...

After this gathering, which was nominally a meeting but actually a banquet, ended, the person who made the proposal hurriedly returned to his own Tent.

Because he was already a captain, he had an independent Tent.

Although it was not as luxurious as the Tent given to Professor Samael by the kings, it could still be considered a top-grade good among the enchanted tents sold by the Merfolk.

"Phew... I didn't expect things to actually develop to this point."

After returning to the Tent, this person sat on the blanket made of monster fur and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he took out a mana disruption device and began to stroke it.

To be honest, he really didn't expect things to turn out like this now.

But since it was already like this, all he needed to do was keep climbing upwards.

Only in this way could his little life be preserved.

Of course.

He still had another direction he could take, which was to not take out these mana disruption devices and continue hiding himself and laying low.

But the problem was that since this thing had already been spoken from his own mouth, it belonged to being exposed to the light.

Hiding was definitely impossible to hide from.

This way, the so-called other direction had basically been blocked dead.

What was left was only taking one path all the way to the dark.

Becoming the upper echelon or even the top layer of the organization; only in this way could he ensure his personal safety.

Whether it was from the Pure Origin Sect's side, or the Black Witches' side.

Thinking of this, he put down the device in his hands, then took out his card and sent a message to someone.

Yasuda Naeko: "My, my, isn't this Fox? It really has been a long time since we met. When was the last time you came over? Oh right, it seems to be right before you ran away."

When the message was sent over, the other party immediately replied.

It was just that this reply had a slight smell of gunpowder mixed in.

Fox Gallio: "Seeing that you are still your usual acrimonious self puts my mind at ease, Yasuda Naeko."

Yasuda Naeko: "You really dare to send me a message. Could it be that you don't know about those people internally putting a bounty on you?"

Fox Gallio: "An internal bounty? Do you believe it yourself? A person who completed the mission but disappeared, would they spend such a huge price to find me?"

Fox said with a snort of contempt.

He was extremely clear about the true nature of those people.

Although a place like the Pure Origin Sect gathered a bunch of lunatics, lunatics at least gave a deposit, which could be considered as keeping their word.

But those Demonic Humans behind that Pope wouldn't be so straightforward.

It could be said that back then, if it weren't for the large deposit given by the Pure Origin Sect, and it not being a mission directly facing the Witches, he wouldn't have wanted to take it at all.

Moreover, immediately after the mission was the outbreak of the Forsaken War.

No matter how you looked at it, his action of blowing up the instance dungeon Teleportation portal was like a fuse.

It was only then that he realized he had actually been deceived.

What simple mission? This was completely sending him to his death, alright?

The disappearance of the instance dungeon Teleportation portal causing the Tower Witch to be trapped inside the instance dungeon was indeed a fact.

But there were still hundreds of thousands of Black Witches present over there.

Just with those Witches setting their minds to investigate and kill him, he would have absolutely no way out.

So that was why he worked so desperately after inadvertently becoming an Exorcist.

As for why he knew about the relationship between the Pope of the Pure Origin Sect and the Demonic Humans, which many big shots didn't even know, that would have to start from the organization he was previously in.

[Rose Garden], an organization that specifically did dirty work for the Demonic Humans.

Although it wasn't directly managed by any of the Demonic Humans, because the people behind the organization were Demonic Humans, no matter how well the higher-ups disguised it, he more or less discovered some anomalies and thus learned about some unknown inside stories.

It was precisely by relying on these inside stories he had dug up in the past that he could remain safe and sound for so long without being discovered after running away.

Yasuda Naeko: "If it were someone else, probably not. But if it's you, that's a different story."

Fox Gallio: "Is that so? You wouldn't happen to be talking about the matter of those devices, would you?"

Yasuda Naeko: "What else? They fear anything that poses a threat to them, isn't this a matter of course?"

Well, it had to be said that what this Yasuda Naeko said was indeed the truth.

Those guys would absolutely not let go of anything that could threaten them.

Like this thing in his hands. Since it could blow up the entire instance dungeon Teleportation portal and interfere with the mana in the air, it naturally could also bring them trouble.

So whether it was to destroy them or take them back, in short, they had to find him.

This was also the most fundamental reason why he could now only take one path all the way to the dark among the Exorcists.

Even the matter of the Black Witches very likely coming to find trouble with him later was secondary.

Of course, the Witch Race also posed a threat to them, but there was truly nothing that could be done about this.

Because they couldn't beat them.

So after thinking about it, Exorcist Fox sent a message.

Fox Gallio: "With their personalities, even if you sell me out, they will probably use some other reason to say you violated the rules. By then, not only will you not get the money, but you'll also bring a whole lot of trouble upon yourself."

Since he knew the other party could afford the money and also had the intention to catch him, Fox naturally had no way to say anything more.

Or rather, if the other party was dead set on selling him out, whatever he said would be useless.

However, it was also impossible for the other party to be 'dead set' anyway.

Thus, he had no choice but to speak up and 'warn' Yasuda Naeko.

Fox Gallio: "What's wrong, Yasuda Naeko? Do you want to be a dog for those people of the Demon Race for the rest of your life?"
