Chapter 983: 305. Local Snake Snake_3

Gregory Tote adjusted his monocle and turned back to the desk, retrieving a Magic Contract from the drawer and handing it to Noland Lee using [Mage’s Hand].

“This is the contract of the Wealth Creation Society; please take it back and read it carefully,” he said.

The smile on Gregory Tote’s face assumed an inexplicable meaning:

“The Wealth Creation Society is also known as the Baldur’s Gate Merchant Alliance. Since it’s an alliance, there’s a distinction between the members and non-members. Joining the Wealth Creation Society means becoming a member of the Alliance and being protected by its rules. However, if you don’t join, you cannot enjoy the treatment of an alliance member. If you are to do business in Baldur’s Gate in the future, you must be particularly mindful of this point. This is a friendly reminder.”

Local bullies looking for protection money? … Holding the contract rolled into a cylinder, Noland Lee’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The influence of the Wealth Creation Society was not limited to Baldur’s Gate but extended to every corner of the Kashel Continent.

Theoretically, as Noland Lee was in the Eternal Lightning Ravine, he was currently within the territory of the Wealth Creation Society.

If using the pretext of “searching for Wizard Criminals” to track his movements was considered “commanding with intimidation”.

Then the Magic Contract in front of him and the speech just now were “enticing with benefits” and “explaining with reason.”

Next, should it be time for “moving with emotion?”

Moving with emotion?

Move with emotion my ass. I don’t want to sympathize with the Wealth Creation Society.

“Mr. Jarvis, our Wealth Creation Society is a loose but united big family, where you can feel…”

Gregory Tote began with some cheesy lines.

Noland Lee hurriedly interjected:

“Ahem. I see your sincerity. I will consider your proposal. Perhaps, joining the Wealth Creation Society is not a bad decision; it could at least provide some superficial stability.”

Gregory Tote was interrupted by Noland Lee but did not show any annoyance. Instead, he nodded slightly with a smile and said:

“Your intuition is very accurate. Then I shall not elaborate further. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely make the right decision.”

Noland Lee stood up, swept the Metal Box on the table with [Mage’s Hand], and placed it along with the Magic Contract into his Magic Pouch.

Gregory Tote escorted Noland Lee to the door and signaled for the Female Attendant to lead the guest to the departure terrace.

Three minutes later, Noland Lee left Goldrush Castle and flew towards the mountain where Denise Green was located.

Noland Lee reflected that without Deconstruction, he would never have uncovered the underhand dealings between Gregory Tote and the Pure Light Court.

He would regard the events happening to him as coercion and inducement by the Wealth Creation Society, aiming to force him to join the group.

One could imagine that if he couldn’t give an answer in time, his days in the Eternal Lightning Ravine would most certainly be difficult, and he would constantly face harassment from the Wealth Creation Society.

In a sense, by signing the contract and paying 100 million gold coins, he could avoid difficulties.

But!

Such speculation was based on the assumption that Gregory Tote had no connection with the Pure Light Court.
