Chapter 476: For the Greater Good (1/2)
”Money can really solve a lot of problems in this world. It makes life a whole lot more comfortable and fun.”
Our bored gamer muttered when he was about to go back into his tiny apartment. But different from the last, he already got the ownership of the White Garden Hotel at this time.
He spent an entire 50 million empire crowns against a competition who can only afford 30 million.
Such an outcome was truly very expected to have between two parties that had this huge disparity of purchasing power.
”Hmmm... I should better call Freya later on. I would need someone very capable who could manage this hotel for me.” Our good gamer added this chore in his to do list.
His girlfriend Freya Barnes was not at all stagnant with her money. In the two years that passed, the one hundred million capital on her hands has already grown several folds today.
She became the owner of an up and rising chain of restaurants in Astro. Even a blind man could see that she was not only beautiful but also very gifted in the tough arena of business.
”Now back to refining that monster meat again.” Clark smiled as he whistled a happy tune towards his humble room.

In a faraway land, a hot debate was presently ongoing. This was not a tribunal for humans but of monsters of every kind.
There was a kraken, a griffin, a manticore, a basilisk, a roc, Azure Dragon Clan of the East, the Vermilion Bird Clan of the South, the White Tiger Clan of the West, and the Black Tortoise Clan of the North, and many other myriad beasts and clans.
And they were here in trillions of numbers in order to decide a single route for them all. To fight or not to fight.
”Long have the humans devoured our kind in order to nourish their own power. Long have they abused their station.
Now is the time for monsters to rise once again and finish those villainous humans down to the last child! I vote for war!” A level 9 Lion King roared at the end of his words.
”We have been oppressed...”
”Kill all humans!”
.
..
...
A string of ayes rang in the scene. But there were also those amongst them who cherished peace more than the ugly face of war.
”You bunch of hypocrites! We all know why you have summoned this monster race tribunal. This is nothing about justice. But a case of extreme greed unto the territory of others.
You say the humans have eaten our kind but one look at ourselves and one can find easily enough that we are also guilty of this charge.
We kill and eat our enemies in order to improve our power. Some of us even kill our own friends and families so that we can acquire this very same essence of power.”
The speaker looked at a particular bear clan as he stopped to prove his point.
”If you are so eager to fight those humans then why don't you go and march towards the cultivator clans in the Immortal Domains.
Those damned cultivators not only eat us but they also have the audacity to make pets of our monster clans. If you want a worthy war, let us do it against those wretched cultivators!
Not against those baby humans who have only started exploring this vast universe for a few eras.” The speaker's words touched the heart of many monsters.
There was a pronounced pause before anyone dared to utter a retort. It was obvious that this speaker was quite famous in this monster race.
