Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Fifty Thousand Promissory Note
In an opulent office, a middle-aged fat man with a large head and ears leisurely puffed on a cigar while lounging on a sofa.
Several burly men had thoroughly searched Chen Yu the moment he entered the door.
“Can you tell me exactly what method you used?”
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, piercingly fixating on Chen Yu with a strange gaze.
At first, he suspected Chen Yu might have carried some device that caused the robot to lose power.
Although he had dismissed that notion, his astonishment had only deepened.
A mere ordinary person had dismantled ten robots in such a short span of time; it was something utterly impossible.
Chen Yu didn’t care much, simply taking a seat on a sofa nearby and casually pouring himself a glass of wine.
“To be honest, I came here solely to ask you for some gold,”As for fighting in the arena, that was just incidental.”
Chen Yu lifted his glass and at the same time, set the Token of the Knights of the Round Table on the table.
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened, and ash from his cigar fell onto the floor.
“Sir, are you with the Knights of the Round Table?”
Chen Yu leaned on the sofa, “Prepare ten thousand taels of gold for me right away.”
The tone of that order would have gotten anyone else killed already.
Yet the middle-aged man dared not show the slightest negligence, immediately instructing his subordinates to carry out the order while also displaying some of his cherished jewelry.
“Sir, these are gifts for our first meeting. If you need anything else, I’ll have someone take care of it immediately.”
Chen Yu said nothing more, just downing the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Before long, a pure gold note was laid out on the table.
“Such notes are considered solid currency in Dongming Canyon online; this one has a value of fifty thousand taels. If that’s not enough, just give me a signal, and I’ll bring more to you.”
Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; fifty thousand taels of gold converted to wealth was quite a significant amount outside.
Even within Dongming Canyon, it could exchange for many supplies.
“Thank you!”
Chen Yu did not say much else, packing up the items on the table and picking up the gold note before leaving with style.
Only after he left did the middle-aged man finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Immediately investigate where this gentleman is staying, and find a way to contact the Knights of the Round Table to ask if they have recently added any new members.”
His subordinates didn’t dare delay and promptly set about their tasks.
Mo Sanchong had already been anxiously waiting outside the door.
The events that had unfolded on the stage had scared him terribly; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to so easily defeat that many robots.
“Mr. Chen, you’re finally out; I was worried sick just now.”
Chen Yu didn’t speak, simply grabbing Mo Sanchong’s arm and quickly departing.
Only after walking out of the underground third level did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t expect the boss to be so generous, giving me fifty thousand taels of gold right off the bat, enough for us to spend quite comfortably for a while.”
Mo Sanchong’s eyes shone brightly; he had been around for so long and yet had never seen a fifty-thousand-tael gold note.
“Mr. Chen, with this gold, we can live comfortably here for quite some time. Should we go purchase some essential supplies first?”
Chen Yu nodded; he didn’t know how long he would have to wait for the so-called grand meeting in Dongming Canyon, so it made sense to stock up on some supplies first.
The two didn’t linger here, for carrying so much gold made them easy targets for others’ envy.
When they returned to the first floor, they suddenly discovered a large crowd gathered around the entrance of the nearby inn.
