"Even for me, it would take some time to transfer such a huge amount of assets."
"Seven days. In seven days, you must destroy all evidence in front of me."
"Then we'll be even!"
Eugene chuckled: "No problem."
"Ah, speaking of which, the girls you kidnapped are all of very high quality."
"I can pick a few to take with me, is that alright?"
Terry was completely out of the mood to worry about any of that. He waved his hand irritably and said, "Five at most. Just don't kill them."
"I'm very chivalrous towards women."
Eugene casually pushed open the door and left.
The wealthy man was left alone inside, his resentment gathering like a dark cloud.
"Fast, Lolo."
Terry called out to those behind him.
The black-haired cat-man and the burly man appeared in response.
These two men were Terry's most capable subordinates, and were once renowned assassins in the underworld!
"You two, during these seven days, follow that guy. Report to me everything he does and where he goes."
"I will eliminate all the guys behind him within seven days!"
"If he dares to run away, or seek protection from a powerful clan, break his legs and drag him to me!"
"...That old man would probably say that."
Walking briskly through the crowd, Eugene pondered Terry's impending reaction.
“This is a very important matter. To prevent my backer from becoming too powerful, he will definitely find another trump card.”
"You can't invite a level 6 adventurer... level 5?"
In Eugene's mind, one by one, the famous masters of Orario flashed through his mind.
Those who are good at this kind of dirty work are nothing more than "terrorists" and "guys with no bottom line".
The terrorists of Orario, who worship evil gods and are obsessed with destroying the world, are collectively known as the "Dark Faction."
In previous years, they caused trouble and vandalism everywhere, making the whole city chaotic and people afraid to even go out on the streets.
That era was even referred to as the "Dark Ages".
However, they are now too weak to show their faces.
If we were to contact them, it would involve too much trouble and would be a losing proposition.
The other group, naturally, consists of adventurers like Ah Jin who murdered and robbed others, acting without any moral compass.
"...The Icarus Familia?"
Eugene recalled a clan that occupied an important chapter in the original work.
The Icarus Familia is a typical "thief gang" setup.
The members are of a vile nature and appear to be collaborating with dark factions.
Moreover, their leader, "Barbarian" Dix, is a level 5 adventurer.
If the price is right, I'd be happy to do it.
"This is most likely the one."
In just a few seconds, Eugene had guessed all of his opponent's next moves.
"A seven-day life-or-death crisis, that sounds really exciting."
A sense of anticipation inexplicably arose in his heart.
The rope of fate that had just vanished has returned to my hands in the blink of an eye!
Amidst the envious or resentful gazes of the crowd, Eugene once again stood before the roulette table that had witnessed miracles.
"Sir, as expected, you are still..."
The beautiful dealer was on the verge of tears as this jinx returned once again.
"Your tip."
Eugene smiled and casually placed a chip worth a thousand on his hand, without even glancing at it, before turning and leaving.
He bet on the last number of the measurements, 35.
The odds remain at 1 to 36.
Accurate hit.
……
11 What kind of ox can plow the land so badly?
(Ryu, Black Fist, Black Cat, and Mia's Mom)
The next morning, Eugene left the lady's mansion with a satisfied heart.
He was unusually energetic after exercising all night.
"I never imagined that looting could be used in this way."
He had only taken a few steps when a carriage appeared in front of Eugene.
"Hi, sir, are you going into town?"
"I'm so lucky."
Eugene got into the car with a smile, unsurprised.
In the shadows behind him, Terry's two henchmen exchanged bewildered glances, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
"What kind of animal is this?"
Last night, the two of them squatted on the windowsill and listened to the cat meowing for half the night.
In the end, they all fell silent!
The bed is still creaking!
They say oxen will work themselves to death, but the land is not afraid of being plowed.
But this ox had plowed the land into a complete mess!
Even the cracks in the ground are probably dry!
Despite this terrifying amount of exercise, Eugene was perfectly fine getting up in the morning.
With a rosy complexion and light steps, he showed no embarrassment at having to lean against the wall to get out.
"Damn, I'm so envious!"
The two looked bittersweet and simultaneously uttered words of envy.
"By the way, sir, what brings you into the city?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the car owner asked Eugene about his purpose.
"Have a few drinks and find a few girls."
Eugene casually leaned back, perfectly befitting his playboy image.
He already had plans for the rest of the trip.
The seven-day promise made last night was just an excuse by Terri.
Because of Eugene's fabricated story, Terry became convinced that Eugene had someone backing him.
In these seven days, he will definitely investigate every single person Eugene has ever come into contact with.
The group of adventurers wiped out by Eugene, and their clan.
Boss Lei's black market.
There were also some other street thugs that Eugene knew.
Anyone who might be involved with Eugene will likely face a purge.
However, Eugene had no psychological burden about these things.
Those people weren't exactly law-abiding citizens to begin with.
"My attitude determined Terry's resolve."
"The more clues he can't find, the more eager he will be to dig deeper."
"The bigger the commotion it causes, the more attention it will attract from those with ulterior motives."
"It can be said that he completely pushed himself to the brink of ruin."
The only thing Eugene needs to ensure now is his own safety.
In his prediction, during the standoff seven days later, Terry would definitely hire a high-level adventurer to provide support.
A level 5 adventurer is powerful enough to take on a thousand men single-handedly.
Taking down a thug silently is a piece of cake.
Eugene, on the other hand, would need at least three, or even four, level 4s to fight against level 5.
As for why not look for level 5 or higher.
"If I go directly to the big clans or guilds for protection, it will make it clear that I'm quitting and I'm going to expose Terry."
"That old bastard will definitely pack his bags and run away tonight."
The deal between Eugene and Terry was based on the premise of peaceful coexistence between the two parties.
Once one side expresses its intention to overturn the table.
Then this scene is scrapped.
At that point, Eugene might not only fail to get the money, but he might also never see Terry again.
