Chapter 823 "Huge Money"

"Urben, is that you?" Zhang Cheng let go of Elizabeth, turned around and looked at the mysterious man who put a sword on Abraham Boroman's neck.

Although the opponent was wearing a strange metal mask, and the weapon was also a highly recognizable spellbreaker, he still found a sense of familiarity in the movement.

"Oh? You can still recognize me in this outfit?" The mysterious man took off his mask, revealing Urban Best's face with a surprised expression.

You must know that the metal mask he is wearing now is not the kind that is simply used to cover facial features, but a magic mask from ancient Greece and Rome.

It is said that this mask was all made by the priests of Dionysus, the god of wine, and endowed with powerful magical powers, so as long as you wear it, you can not only perfectly cover up all the iconic features of your body, but also smell, hair color, gender, etc. Everything can change.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Cheng also noticed the strange energy condensed on the surface of the mask, and explained with a smile: "No, I didn't recognize you, but I thought your movement of putting the sword on someone's neck was a bit familiar. After all, no matter what a person's appearance No matter how the image changes, his habitual movements will never change, especially for someone like you who is good at using cold weapons. By the way, how did you appear on the pier of New York Harbor?"

"I see..." Urban showed a thoughtful expression, and then pointed to a huge cargo ship that was unloading in the distance. "I shipped a batch of new goods back from Europe, the quantity is more than two hundred, and I personally escorted them for safety."

"New product?" Zhang Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed a strange color.

Maybe outsiders don't know exactly what the so-called "new goods" are, but he knows very well that one of the closed containers must be full of vampires who were sold as slaves.

In fact, in just a few months, the succubus Renez has already formed a shadow mage group with a total of more than 5,000 people by virtue of this sinful business. It can be seen that the vampires Tragic experience in recent times.

It can even be said that they have become the prey in the eyes of countless desperadoes from the kings of the night who could hunt humans everywhere and feed on blood.

Right now, many vampire families don't even dare to go out to hunt, for fear of being targeted by dangerous elements and disappearing inexplicably.

The greedy and evil power of capital showed its fangs in the underground world for the first time, and it made the entire vampire group restless.

"Hey! I'm afraid you don't know yet? There are already many hunter teams in major cities in Europe that specialize in catching vampires.

They will not spare even the nobles for generous rewards. ’ Urban grinned in a bloodthirsty grin.

There is no doubt that all this is the result of his secret provocation.

After all, such a challenge to an inherently huge force must have a strong and fearless person to take the lead, and at the same time let everyone see that not only can they get huge benefits from it, but they must also be able to escape the opponent's fierceness later. revenge.

In this way, under the dual drive of example and benefit, the residents of the underground world will take action to join it.

When the number reaches a certain scale, coupled with the acquiescence of some lords and councilors, even the high-ranking vampire duke and prince can't come up with any good solutions.

Zhang Cheng could clearly imagine how panic these guys were feeling inside, he pursed his lips and praised, "Good job! It seems that you have made them suffer a lot."

"You know, I like to fight against powerful opponents the most. I am eager to stab the enemy's chest with a sharp blade, cut the main artery in their neck, and feel the beauty of blood splashing in the air."

While saying these words, the sharp knife in Urban Best's hand lightly scratched across the captive's skin, drawing a line of blood on his neck, and the dark red blood quickly stained a large white shirt red.

Abraham Borrowman was obviously terrified, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't...don't kill me! I have a lot of money in my hand! As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to give it all as a ransom."

"A lot of money?" Urban Best said with unabashed contempt.

He didn't think a depraved druid who was engaged in smuggling magical creatures could have huge sums of money.

"Sixty thousand! I have sixty thousand gold dinars! There are eight hundred million dollars in bonds and deposits!"

In order to save his own life, Abraham Boroman reported his family property without thinking.

He never dreamed that instead of bringing huge profits, a rare manticore would attract terrible enemies.

"Sixty thousand gold dinars?!" Urban subconsciously opened his mouth wide, as if he heard something incredible.

You must know that gold dinars are not those garbage banknotes in modern society that are based on national credit but are worthless in themselves. You can print as many as you want.

On the contrary, it is a magical currency, minted in a very special place, and the output is very limited every year, and ordinary residents of the underground world may not be able to touch it for a lifetime.

Generally speaking, only in the transactions of magic items, potions, and precious materials, the two parties will choose to use gold dinars instead of dollars or euros that depreciate greatly every year.

Sixty thousand gold dinars, almost equal to the sum of a lord's income for several years, can definitely be called an out-and-out huge sum of money.

In contrast, the deposits and bonds of 800 million US dollars are not so eye-catching.

"That's right! Sixty thousand! As long as you act as if today's incident never happened." Abraham Boroman glanced at the collar soaked in blood, and repeated nervously.

From the screams and howls that came out from time to time, he can basically be sure that his subordinates are dead, and the only thing he can do now is to save his own life as much as possible, and look for opportunities to rebuild the smuggling network after the storm passes.

Having seen the strong desire to survive in the eyes of many people before they died, Urban immediately understood what the guy in front of him was thinking, and joked with a smile: "60,000 gold dinars buy a life, I think this is a very good deal." Good deal, what do you think?"

"I don't know. You have to ask Elizabeth for this deal. She is the one who has the right to make the decision." Zhang Cheng spread his hands indifferently.

"Me? Of course I agree! God! That's 60,000 gold dinars plus 800 million U.S. dollars!" The girl chose to forget the previous unpleasantness without hesitation, and her eyes revealed surprise and expectation.

After all, she was a young girl from the ghetto who would never forget her days not so long ago when she was struggling to survive in a foster home.

As for the fact that the other party wanted to kill me just now, it was nothing in the slums, not to mention a large sum of money was enough to make up for the mental shock...
