Chapter 465 A big gamble
Chapter 465 A big gamble
Liu Chi, wearing armor, used settings to firmly fix Maggie on the armor in a back-carrying position.
Focusing on the scene in his eyes, Liu Chi started to run.
Only a flash of silver light could be seen on the street. Following the carriage carried by Maggie's mother, Liu Chi and his companions arrived at the west coast of Liro.
Just when Liu Chi mistakenly thought that Maggie's mother was going to his hotel to have some fun, he saw the woman who got off the car walk straight into a small chamber of commerce, which was located on the same street as Alice's headquarters.
Liu Chi suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped at the door of the small chamber of commerce. He took off his armor and put Maggie down, while also canceling the "replay" in the soul realm.
In the normal power soul realm, Liu Chi has already sensed the location of Maggie's mother.
"Let's go in, Auntie is inside."
Although Maggie was confused, she still followed Liu Chi in.
How did he know my mom was here?
As I walked into the store, a sense of déjà vu hit me.
Why does it feel like I've experienced this before?
Liu Chi took Maggie and sat down at the reception table on the first floor of the Chamber of Commerce.
The small chamber of commerce was simply decorated, with wooden chairs, a counter, and a rugged man at the counter.
Liu Chi said,
"I have something to ask you."
"Okay, go ahead."
Liu Chi took a breath and said,
"According to what you and your aunt said, as adventurers, how could they afford to send you to the Imperial Academy?"
Maggie shook her head and smiled faintly.
"My damn father is dead, isn't he? My mother used the compensation from the United Guild to send me to the Imperial College. That's it."
"Do you know how much the tuition for one year at Imperial College is?"
Maggie nodded and said,
"One hundred diamond coins a year, fifty diamond coins in half a year, so before I leave the Imperial College, I just want to try the recommendation letter test."
Liu Chi nodded. It seemed that just as Maggie said, he had only paid half a year's tuition, and by the end of June, the academy would enter its summer vacation when there would be no classes.
After listening to Maggie, Liu Chi already had his own idea. He stood up, told Maggie to sit still and not run around, then he walked to the counter.
"Hey! What a handsome guy! I've been paying attention to you since you came in."
The burly man at the counter saw Liu Chi walking towards him with a clear purpose, and he hurriedly greeted him.
Liu Chi inadvertently caught a glimpse of the few strands of hair on the big man's chest, coupled with his neutral voice, and felt nauseous. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands and held back his dry heaves.
"I would like to ask, how do I apply for a loan?"
"Loan business? Haha! Young man, you have found the right chamber of commerce. Although our Neylan Chamber of Commerce is not as large as Alice's, in Lilo, our deposit interest rate is a little higher than Alice's, and our loan interest rate is also much lower than Alice's."
"Do I need to go upstairs to handle it?"
Sensing that Maggie's mother had been talking to someone upstairs, Liu Chi said something pointedly.
"No need, if you want to do it, I will do it for you personally. My skills are very good!"
As he said this, the big man winked at Liu Chi and gave him a meaningful smile.
Liu Chi suddenly felt sick, and he even regretted coming here in this way. He knew very well that after the big man's series of actions just now, he was a gay!
"I'd better go through the formal process. You just do your thing."
After Liu Chi finished speaking, he walked upstairs consciously. He thought someone would come to stop him, but he didn't expect that no one would come to take care of it at all.
After successfully reaching the second floor, Liu Chi saw five counters scattered in different corners, with three women and two staff members. There were many sofas without backrests in the hall, and some people were sitting on them, holding papers in their hands and waiting. There was a person in tattered clothes who occupied the entire sofa and slept on it. The sound of his snoring was like thunder, deafening.
After looking around, Liu Chi set his sights on a corridor. On both sides of the corridor, four rooms were separated by large pieces of misty crystal stones, and Maggie's mother happened to be in one of them.
Then, while going to the toilet, Liu Chi turned on the stealth mode of his armor.
After resonating the armor with the crystal wall, Liu Chi entered the room where Maggie's mother was.
The woman hugged the small leather bag tightly on her knees and said,
"Please, let me go, I will definitely bring the money."
The man opposite smiled disdainfully and said,
"I won't let you go this time. I didn't expect you to come here on your own. We've already discussed this. You can either pay me first and then I'll let you go, or I'll ask someone else to bring you here."
"Humph! That's because you are being unreasonable. Our contract clearly states that I borrow fifty diamond coins and I have to pay back fifty-five within a year."
"Haha, Ms. Yevt, that was before. This year's economy is in trouble, and our Chamber of Commerce has changed the rules. We let you pay back half, which is already very good. With your looks, you should be able to earn enough in a year, right? It's just that you're a little tired every day and can't get out of bed."
Maggie's mother, whom the man called Ms. Yeft, stared at the man with her eyes as if she wanted to kill him.
Seeing Yeft's appearance, the man suddenly felt unhappy. He had been enduring this for a long, long time.
"What are you looking at? If you have money, pay it back. If you don't have money, pay your life back!!!"
The man shouted angrily, and the crystals around him converted the sound into energy and absorbed it, so no sound could be heard outside the room.
Then Yeft let out a long breath through his nose, looked at the table, and fell silent.
"Hey hey!"
The man tapped the tabletop vigorously with his fingers and spoke in an angry tone.
"I'm asking you a question. Money or life? Damn, I'm unlucky to meet a bitch like you. Even if I sell you, you're not worth this much money."
Yevt slowly spoke.
"I told you to let me go back to get the money, and I will come back. I don't have any relatives in Liro, so no one will send me money. As long as you trust me and let me go back, I will send the money to you tomorrow. I guarantee that you will not be punished by the Chamber of Commerce for losses."
The man was already a little angry, and after hearing Yeft mention the Chamber of Commerce's punishment, he could no longer control himself. He stood up and slapped Yeft in the face.
"You still want to run! If I let you run, I will be responsible for all your crimes. If I keep you, I can give the Chamber of Commerce an explanation, and I will be the one suffering!"
The man withdrew his painful right hand, held his right wrist with his left hand to relieve the pain, and walked out of his seat.
After seeing the man open the door and walk out, Liu Chi also lifted the invisibility of his armor.
Yeft covered her left cheek, her mouth was filled with the smell of blood. She licked the wound in her mouth with her tongue and kept spitting out blood mixed with saliva, without noticing that there was another person beside her.
In order not to scare Yevute, Liu Chi tapped the table twice.
At this time, Yeft had been slapped in the face and was somewhat dazed. After hearing the knocking sound on the table, she spoke incoherently,
"I told you, let me go back and I'll give you the money."
Liu Chi shook his head and immediately scanned her with the technology system. After a few seconds of scanning, the conclusion was that she had a mild concussion accompanied by congestion of the oral tissue.
Liu Chi, who didn't know what was going on, had no intention of taking Yeft away directly. He knew that with the despicable means used by this small chamber of commerce, as long as they had your information, once you ran away with the debt, your end would most likely be death.
After sensing through the realm of his soul that the man had returned with the two of them, Liu Chi became invisible again.
As the door opened, two thin men came up to Yeft aggressively, grabbed her hair with their hands, and after seeing the swollen half of Yeft's face, they put her down ruthlessly.
"This kind of scum cannot pay back the money. First, rob her place and then find a way to get rid of her. The loss will be deducted from your performance!"
Being pointed at by the thin man, the man suddenly became anxious and quickly explained,
"Brother! This girl is quite pretty. I just forced her when I was asking for the money. She can be used to pay for the money. If you don't want to, just give her to me. I promise to make up for this loophole."
The thin man glared at the other man, then looked at Yefte. Seeing that she was holding the small leather bag tightly, he frowned and reached out to pull the small leather bag out.
After opening it and reading it, his frown instantly relaxed, and he poured the diamond coins in his bag onto the table with a smile.
Looking at the glittering diamond coins on the table, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and his brain started working rapidly.
Since she has money, why doesn't she pay it back? Or?
"Brother, according to our new rules, this girl still owes us 15 diamond coins. Let me handle the rest!"
This was a big gamble, and there was no doubt that the man's sudden enlightenment saved him from disaster.
