Chapter 406 – Extortion Again (1/2)
Sitting on the bumpy Holy Spirit Island and looking at the devastated Sky City, Fatty trembled all over.
The respawn point was virtually bloated with players, some of them were flushed and bare, their equipment either dropped or the durability all reduced to zero from the attacks of magic crystal cannons and forbidden spells. Some of them were even permanently damaged and unrepairable.
SaintPetertheGreat, Holy Paladin, Heavy Armored Tarzan, Purple Rose, and so on. Over 17 guild masters sat in front of Fatty in a row, their faces livid. The world's famous guilds with millions of members had joined forces to attack Sky City but were annihilated by Fatty and all fell here.
“Go ahead, what conditions do you have to let us go?” Purple Rose, who thought she had advantages as a woman, was the first to speak up.
“Shut up.” Fatty threw her a vicious glare. He hated that he couldn’t just chop this girl up. “How can the hatred within my heart be relieved if I don't kill you back to level zero for trashing my Sky City into this state?”
The faces of the guild masters abruptly changed in anxiety. Now that they were inside Sky City, it was the same as falling into Fatty’s hands. Needless to say, just the Elemental Sword Diagram could trap them dead. If Fatty was truly determined to slay them back to level zero, they would undoubtedly have to return to the Beginner’s Village.
His face was extremely ugly but Holy Paladin still forced a smile. “No need for so many words, if you really want to kill us back to zero you would have done it already without all this nonsense. Name your price, what do we do so you’ll let us go?”
Fatty looked at him in surprise. “I thought SaintPetertheGreat was the brains, but it turns out that he’s just a rash fellow used as a tool.”
Fatty said this quite frankly and SaintPetertheGreat’s already green face immediately turned black. On the other hand, Holy Paladin smiled and relaxed his expression, saying, “It's unnecessary to say all this now. Please name your price. The Demon army is advancing fiercely right now, we need to go back and defend our city.”
Fatty sneered. “You knew that the Demon army is attacking hard and yet still dared to come all the way here to find trouble. So you really thought Lord Fatty was easy to bully, didn’t you?” After some pondering, he continued, “As usual, normal players 100,000 gold coins each. Money for the people on-site.”
“Okay.” Holy Paladin nodded in agreement.
“As for you guys, you tell me how much you’re worth,” said Fatty.
The guild masters’ faces grew even uglier, but they had no choice but to bow. After a moment of silence, the first person to speak was Heavy Armored Tarzan.
“10 million gold coins and 100 pieces of Violet equipment.”
“Not quite there.” Fatty shook his head.
“I’ll add another 100 pieces of Violet.” Heavy Armored Tarzan gritted his teeth.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” Fatty clapped his hands and swept a glance around. “Let’s stop pretending, alright? Each person pays 100 million gold coins, and 500 pieces of Violet items of level 60 and above. And if you have any good things on you, leave them too. I don’t have the patience to bargain with you.”
“You are delusional!” Dark Lord sprang up and glared at Fatty. “We may be guild masters, but we just don't have that many things. I can give you 100 million gold coins and a maximum of 100 Violet pieces.”
Fatty waved his hand with a smile, and a magic crystal cannon silently shot out a white light. Dark Lord dumbly watched as the white light pierced through his chest and when he looked again, he was already standing at the respawn point.
“Final offer, 100 million gold coins, 500 Violets from level 60 up, plus everything in your inventory. Don't even try to bargain, Dark Lord is your example,” Fatty coldly spat.
After a while of silence, the guild masters glanced at each other and helplessly agreed to Fatty's demand. Gold coins were easy, but 500 Violet items were difficult to obtain, especially now that equipment in the level 60s was the mainstream, they didn’t have many stored pieces in their guild warehouse. Fortunately, Fatty was kind-hearted enough not to demand it immediately. Each guild master signed an agreement to deliver 550 pieces of Violet from level 60 up in three days, the extra 50 pieces being the interest for these three days.
Next, after sullenly signing the agreement, was the equipment on their bodies and in their inventories. Aside from some exclusive equipment Fatty could not remove, the rest were stripped clean, even Purple Rose was no exception. Wearing the default innerwear given by the system, Purple Rose was as red as a lobster as she glared at Fatty, wanting to kill him with her eyes. Too bad she failed as Fatty was too thick-skinned for her low stare-damage.
“Can we go now?” Being pranked by Fatty time and time again, the guild masters could only disregard their fury lest Fatty put forward more excessive requirements. The only thought on their minds was to leave this place as soon as possible.
“Wait a moment, I need to see if you were honest first.” Fatty activated the newly-acquired Saint skill Underworld Eye and scanned them. He saw a scroll in Purple Rose’s inventory, a token of some sort in SaintPetertheGreat’s, and some miscellaneous items in Holy Paladin’s and Dark Lord’s.
“You guys are so not honest.” Fatty shook his head and called them out one by one, raising a storm in their hearts.
