"Your Majesty Twain, although you and your maidservant helped us earlier on …"
Just as Testero opened his mouth to speak, Twain suddenly said with a fervent expression, "Your Majesty Testero, this time, your country's crisis has been successfully averted. However, in order to help your country, our side has invested a lot this time. We've used weapons that are still in research. Everyone has seen that they are extremely powerful and have excellent effects."
"I know that. That's why the city is so powerful —"
Tang En interrupted him and said quickly, "Isn't that right? Because this weapon is still in research, the cost is very high. But since we are fighting against the Chaos together, I can give you a discount. It's only 10 million gold coins. "
'What the hell!?'
"As for the additional long-range support, individual protection, aerial reconnaissance, and so on, they are all included in the combat package. This time, I will give you a special discount. I will give you a 10% discount. Plus the cost of ammunition, the commission will be 50 million gold coins. You can transfer money or cash. If you give a good review, you will get a 20% discount coupon."
Tang En looked at Testero with a fervent expression. His expression was clearly saying, "Helping you fight against such a powerful enemy like Chaos for such a small amount of gold coins is super cheap. Do you have anything else? Hurry up and pay up."
Testero was instantly stunned.
'What the hell!?
Shouldn't I be the one asking for compensation!?
Why am I suddenly asking for war reparations!? '
'Speaking of which, did I say that this is a mercenary battle when I attacked?!
Since when did this guy's position change from humanitarian aid to mercenary?! '
"Please wait, Lord Tang En. Is there something wrong with this?"
Testero had no choice but to hurriedly stop Twain. If he allowed Twain to continue, he was afraid that he would have another inexplicable creditor.
"Hmm? Is there a problem with the price? Don't worry, we are responsible war agents. His Excellency Kloto will list all the expenses for you to browse. Of course, please complete the verification and pay the bill as soon as possible. After all, we are in this kind of business. We usually settle accounts on the spot. "
"Okay, I got it. As if!"
Testero became anxious and said shamelessly, "You destroyed my city by unleashing your power. You should pay me compensation!"
"Oh, really?"
Tang En looked at Testero with a smile. "But you seem to have forgotten who led the enemy to Bul-Kathos in the first place. I think the residents here will be interested to know who ruined their lives like this. "
Testero broke out in cold sweat when he heard this. If they found out about Groma's scandal, the future of the Blood Eye Clan would be bleak, and the glory of the royal family would disappear.
Thus, he cowered, "Lord Tang En, let's talk things over!"
"Then let's settle the bill."
"Don't worry, I will definitely settle it."
When Testero said this, the silent Ravitz immediately couldn't sit still. "Your Majesty, there's still our compensation!"
F * ck!
Testero was about to go crazy. F * ck, you guys fought in my city and destroyed it. In the end, I still have to pay the price for it?!
What was even more ridiculous was the Star Diamond Bank. You guys were the ones who were saved, and you still have the face to come and ask for compensation?!
If he really agreed to their request for compensation, it meant that after this battle, he would inexplicably have two more creditors, and they were the kind that he couldn't afford to offend.
Testero would probably be the biggest loser in this battle.
"Your Excellency Ravitz, your request is quite unreasonable. You are the one who was saved, so you should pay us for the rescue."
Testero had learned a little from Twain, and he immediately put it to use. If he could turn the Star Diamond Bank from being a creditor to a debtor, not only would his financial pressure be reduced, he could also get a sum of money from them. Bul-Kathos's reconstruction was in urgent need of a large amount of money.
"You want us to pay for the rescue operation, right?"
Ravitz looked at Testero coldly. "No problem, we will pay, but our Star Diamond Bank will also withdraw from the market of all cities in the Ryan Empire. All existing investment projects will be terminated and withdrawn, and we will not consider investment projects in the Ryan Empire for at least a hundred years."
"Please don't do this!"
F * ck, I'm kneeling before you, tycoon. Please don't go!
Testero almost knelt down in front of Ravitz. The Orcs were not very good at economics. The economic development of the country was supported by these Goblins. If they left the Ryan Empire, the economy of the entire Ryan Empire would collapse completely!
Tang En curled his lips. Was he the only one who could see that Ravitz was just bluffing?
The more fixed investments in a place, the lower the probability of actively terminating or withdrawing the investment because the losses would be very large. For the Star Diamond Bank, investment here was bound to see benefits, but after investing a huge amount of money in the early stages, suddenly giving up this market … This was not justifiable.
After all, the Goblins were a group of money-grubbers. They always only did things that made money and never did things that made them lose money.
Based on Tang En's understanding of the Goblins, if he had not guessed wrongly, it was likely that this group of Goblins had decided to come over and extort Testero after discovering the current situation. They wanted to see if they could make some money while they were at it.
As for the destroyed Star Diamond Bank in Bul-Kathos? What was that?
The vault of the Star Diamond Bank was located underground, and it was protected by a magic barrier set up by the Dragons' Observer. The previous explosion and battle could not damage the vault at all.
In other words, the hundreds of millions of gold coins that Ravitz said did not exist from the beginning.
Although Tang En saw it clearly, he could not afford to gamble with Testero!
If the Star Diamond Bank really withdrew their investment without a word, who could he cry to?
It was precisely because of his mentality that Ravitz took the initiative.
After discovering that there was really profit to be made, Ravitz narrowed his eyes and was in a very good mood, but he still looked indifferent on the surface.
You don't want us to go? Sure, pay up!
"Ahem."
Seeing that these Goblins were getting more and more excessive, Tang En coughed lightly and then pretended to say casually, "I remember that the vault of the Star Diamond Bank is protected by the Dragons' magic barrier, right? As long as the previous attack was not a frontal attack aimed at the Star Diamond Bank, the aftermath should not be able to destroy the Dragons' barrier … "
Ravitz: "!!!"
"…"
Testero abruptly came to his senses. Of course, he knew about this matter, but what happened just now was too shocking, so he had no time to think about the details. With Tang En's reminder, Testero immediately understood that he had fallen into a blind spot.
"Your Excellency Ravitz?!"
Testero said angrily, "I want to know what you mean by this?"
"Tsk!"
Ravitz curled his lips, dispelled the idea of extorting, and said, "Our Star Diamond Bank's real estate investments, shops, and bank branches in Bul-Kathos were all destroyed. What do you think I mean?"
"Those assets added together are not worth that much!"
As soon as Testero said this, Tang En couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, I'm still too stupid. Didn't I give up the initiative again …
Ravitz curled the corners of his mouth and said faintly, "Those real estate assets are in the prime area of Bul-Kathos. Although Bul-Kathos has not developed yet, we are quite optimistic about the long-term development potential here, so our investment experts think that the value of these assets is quite considerable … Or, Your Majesty Testero, your long-term plan for Bul-Kathos cannot meet the expectations of the investors?"
Damn, this guy is so insidious!
Tang En couldn't help but look at Ravitz in a new light. Not only did he regain the initiative with these words, but he even put Testero in a checkmate.
If you don't recognize the value of these assets, it is equivalent to not recognizing the value of Bul-Kathos. At the same time, you also deny your ability to govern and your long-term planning goals for this city. On the other hand, it is equivalent to shattering the expectations of the investors. If Testero admits it in a hurry, I am afraid he won't be able to make a comeback.
"Ahem."
Tang En spoke again, and said very enthusiastically to Testero, "Your Majesty Testero, if you are willing, we can record the bill first, and we are willing to provide you with resident support services at a very discounted price. At the same time, we also provide construction assistance services. Our Tang Dynasty Civil Construction Chamber of Commerce has rich construction experience, and we can help you build a new capital city nearby in the shortest time possible. We also have elven style, dwarf style, human style, orc style, modernist style, fantasy style, ultramodern style, mix and match style, and many other urban styles for you to choose from."
"Not only urban styles, but we also provide complete and comprehensive modern urban supporting services. We can carefully build perfect water and drainage projects, environmental greening projects, as well as city administration and transportation networks for you …"
"Of course, these are not free services. The more services you need, the more expensive they will be. However, we provide personalized customized services very humanely. We can design the projects you need according to your ideas, and charge according to the project. We will absolutely mark the price clearly and not cheat anyone."
"As for what projects you need, I think I can take you to the headquarters of our Datang Chamber of Commerce in Ellington later to have a look. You will have some expectations for the new capital city in your heart."
Tang En, who was enthusiastically promoting for a long time, finally threw out his real purpose. "It is also worth mentioning that although the fees for the construction of the capital city are not cheap, we can kindly provide credit … or trade in the form of resources exchange."
