War Online

Seraphim replied, "Well, even though, the currency system isn't opened yet, it will open sooner or later, anyway. I have no problem. Everyone must bid only in in-game currency and the winner can pay however they want. If they want to pay it in credits, then the rate will be 2000 credits per Silver, though." Everyone looked at this money-hungry prick who purposely increased by a normal 1400 to 2000 so that he can get more.

Williard started bidding with 10silver. 15, 20, 30… 50, 100… as it reached 2 gold, Seraphim and four of his friends started to become excited. Meanwhile, Williard and Reed were battling for the Greatsword. As Reed wasn't backing down even after it reached 250 Silver, Williard directly spoke, "My final price is 3 gold. Pay even 10 silver more, I'll withdraw." Reed gritted his teeth and said, "3 gold 10silver."

Williard nodded, "it's yours." Reed then looked at Seraphim, "I'll pay 1 gold and the rest in credits." A big smile appeared on Seraphim and four of others immediately as 400000 added to Seraphim's bank account, which was synchronized with their gaming capsule."

Seraphim then took out a bunch of items like enhancement scrolls, pouches that contain Silver, Jatayu's crown, and throw all of them into his inventory. As the treasure Chest almost emptied his face lighted up as he saw a shining bow. Taking it out, he inspected it and smiled very brightly and almost screamed in excitement, "Congratulations, Metatron."

Metatron replied, "No thanks. I already had one in inventory." Hearing her rejection didn't stop his smile. Seraphim then said, "I doubt you would say that after looking at the stats, I shared in the party channel."

As Williard opened the party channel and looked at the stats, he was surprised just like everyone else. Metatron immediately screamed not even a second later, "I want it." Just when Seraphim was about to pass it to her, he suddenly stopped with a stunned expression and glanced at Williard who was looking at him calmly and slightly nodded.

Seraphim then said, "I'll give it to you while distributing it with others." As Seraphim put it inside his inventory, Flame Emperor looked at Williard before looking away.

A while later, Williard left the dungeon and started returning to East Ocean City. Then, he voice messaged Shadow Blade, "I'm just out of the dungeon. Meet me at Bear Inn. Tell everyone else to come too."

After reaching the city, he started walking towards the Bear Inn. In the middle of the way i.e. in the middle of the city that has more than 75,000 player population; a few people coincidentally found him as they accidentally saw his name and slowly started to follow him while maintaining their distance.

As he went into Bear Inn, the group of players discussed, "are you sure you got the right guy? First, he doesn't belong to any guilds. Second, isn't he supposed to be level 22? You can see his level. That's level 39. Two levels more than even you." The leader of their group replied, "C'mon if we just attack him at the same time, he'll die easily."

Meanwhile, at the 2nd floor of Bear Inn, while Aster got amazed to see Williard leveled up 8 times in a short time, Williard asked with a frown, "now, tell me the full situation." Aster replied, "Its Imperial guild leader, White Tiger. He put a bounty on all of us openly East Ocean City forum section since there isn't any official bounty board yet.

At first, there isn't much commotion but after someone leaked that all of the bounty names belonged to the same guild, now, everyone is looking for the people with Vulture Symbol on their chests."

"Oh, a 1000 Credits per kill eh? I don't know whether I should feel honored that my name is being put for a bounty or feel disgraced that it's only 1000. It doesn't matter, either way. Aster, you start collecting gold. Buy as much as you can. I need at least 100 gold by the end of the day. I don't care if you buy at 30% or 50% higher rates, understood? Since all of you can't afford to get out of the city yet, everyone must spread out all over the city and collect the gold as much as possible, helping out Aster. By tomorrow, everyone must talk about Scarlet Guild." replied Williard.

Williard joined the guild and took the Guild Leader spot while putting Aster as Vice Guild Leader and left the room. Aster immediately followed him outside, "Young master, wait for a second. I forgot to mention one thing. The company credit card that Lord Philip gave me to spend your expenses only has a limit of 50 Million. Or I should say your monthly spending expenditure was limited to 50 Million Credits. You need to hear this before I proceed to buy the currency.

So far, just in the past three days. We spent 10 Million Credits for two S-grade Capsules. I hired 50 of them with 15,000 Credits per week salary and gave 20,000 Credits to each of them as a signing bonus. I paid a million as a bribe for your attendance. If I include all costs including your shopping, 20 Million has already been spent. And…"

Williard interrupted in annoyance, "why are you reminding this stuff? That's your job to manage, not mine." Aster replied, "Forgive me Young master, all I'm reminding you is that to get 100 gold, we might have to spend around 16 Million to 20 Million. It's been only half a month passed since you arrived at Leafway City. If you spend that much money now, there would be only 10 Million for the next half month. That's what worries me. If we try to extend the limit of company credit card, I might have to answer Lord Philip and would be left with no choice but tell the entire truth. Please think about it."

Williard frowned and realized that what he said is right. Because he ran away from home before and never inherited his father's assets after his death, he only depended on the rent amount he got from Scarlet apartment's manager anonymously, Williard thought this time he would live lavishly spending his father's money like he wants and forgot about the limit.

After thinking for a while, something clicked in his mind, "Ah, that's right. Scarlet Apartments, how did I forget about that?" While Aster wondered what did he meant by that, Williard looked at him and said, "Didn't you mention that you wired the rental money from Scarlet Apartments into my personal bank account in our first meet?

I synced the Reiley bank account to the game that was linked to the Scarlet Security Company. What about my personal one from Federation bank, the one you have been wiring the rental money every month for the past 5 years? Apartment rent at our apartment complex is 48,000 Credits for everyone. I remembered you telling me 17 of them have been occupied. So, there must be a considerable amount, right?"
