#774 Wrong.

Elemental number.
for North Americans.
That being was a fear surpassing even the Demon God, the Seven Dragons, and even the Sword Master.
Whereas demons were far away in Europe, seven dragons were conquerors of the world, and sword masters were heroes with their own beliefs.
I genuinely hate humanity.
devastating the North American continent.
It was because they, who made the entire continent infested with fallen spirits, were a disaster itself that did not allow them to communicate.
So it was.
Right now at this moment.
The reason why the golden lord had no choice but to remain silent.
[My team leader said in the past that even though war is the most radical means of diplomacy, it shouldnât be the goal.] [
I think so too. Violence doesnât produce anything after all, right?]
[In that sense, the investor grandfather, letâs have a conversation.]
Is this a blue bird?
Or is it tentacles?
At the end of looking at Yuna-gyeong, who constantly pours out the reasons why they should stop fighting in 5700 words.
The golden lord quietly opened his mouth.
âIf you raised the white flag, does that mean you want to surrender?â
[No, thatâs not the case.]
âThen there must be no reason to stop fighting.â
[Ah, you are impatient! Why is the worldâs best investor like that? Donât you know that investing in a hurry can ruin you?]
ââ¦â
Stupid is a word used in times like this.
no one else
The golden lord fell silent again as he watched the blue bird preaching to himself, the worldâs best investor.
However, it seems that the silence was accepted as a positive.
Yuna-kyung propped herself halfway out of the hatch, supported her waist with her two wings, and spoke triumphantly.
[Think carefully. Right now, the unmatched sword master, the strongest Golden Dragon sister of the Seven Dragons of Swordsman, and the fairy queen sister are there!] ââ¦.â
[
But are you really going to fight? Are you prepared for that?]
ââ¦â
[If youâre not confident, letâs just talk. Love and Peace! Isnât it best not to fight?]
Hogahowi.
No, should I say Jo Ga-yong?
Like a sparrow riding on a dragonâs head.
The sight of the blue bird threatening the audience was astounding.
But the golden lord did not laugh at her.
I wouldnât know if it was only Limon and the Fairy Queen, but it was unexpected that the Golden Dragon Princess was here too.
ââ¦I donât know if it would have been better to bring the Sword Spirit as well.â
If there was a running repair, it would have been possible to respond.
It was only a pity that I had left her in confinement because it could be a factor of anxiety.
However, as an investor, you should be able to make up for the loss and get a bigger return rather than regret a failed investment.
After making his decision, the golden lord nodded slowly.
âYouâre not wrong.â
[Yes! â¦uh really?]
âIf we can reduce the investment cost and get the same results, thereâs no need to fight.â
[Thatâs right. Thatâs what I said?]
Maybe itâs because I didnât expect the golden lord to agree so readily.
Itâs been a while since Iâve been talking about myself and being embarrassed.
Suddenly coming to her senses, Yuna-kyung cleared her throat on her wings and opened her beak again.
[So, letâs start peace negotiations.]
A long time ago.
The Golden Dragon Emperor signed a peace treaty.
In the fairy kingdom that decided the fate of the world.
Negotiations between the blue bird and the golden lord, which might decide their fate once again, have begun.
* * *
Yuna-kyung remembered.
I will try to negotiate peace.
The reaction of the Fairy Queen, Limon, and Charlotte when she boldly stepped forward.
Charlotte, who had been silent, and the fairy queen, who recommended rethinking, were at least on the better side.
Limon lamented from the bottom of his heart, saying that after living as a blue bird, he seemed to have become a bird even head-to-head.
Thatâs why Yuna-kyung thought.
I will definitely finish this peace agreement and receive admiration and praise from Limon.
Actually, she was confident.
The opponent is the Golden Lord.
He was famous for being the richest of all monarchs and for being thorough with gains and losses.
âPresent it.â
[Yes?]
âHow much do you want to buy peace for?â
[â¦What kind of dragon are you?]
âAre you the one who proposed peace negotiations first?â
but this moment.
Yuna-kyung had a hunch.
I know that this negotiation will not be as easy as I thought.
However, if the opponent is the worldâs best investor, she is also from an orphanage and has lived from the bottom.
Showing Yong-pal the badge of PAB, threatening him, and raising the speculation that he cut the price of bean sprouts by 20% to the stubborn old lady in the market.
she protested.
[Anyway, itâs not polite to suddenly make a preemptive proposal! If youâre such an investor grandfather, tell me first what you want.]
âWhat I want right now is to destroy the fairy kingdom.â
[You donât want to negotiate?! Do you really want to have a fight with our team leader and the older sisters?]
Itâs really fierce.
Or maybe itâs childish.
Itâs been a long time since we threw out our consciences and shouted calmly or loudly.
The brazen blue bird and the investor reached an agreement.
[Okay, let me tell you my requirements first.]
Maybe itâs because Iâm behind in my experience.
Or was it because of lack of shamelessness?
In the end, Yuna-kyung revealed her requirements while showing a resentful expression at having to open her beak first.
[Free the spirits from the infected virus immediately and stop the attack on the Fairy Kingdom and the Player Association.]
ââ¦I wish you a lot.â
[Itâs up to you to think. Donât forget that there are only three absolutes behind me.]
Of course, Limon is the main character.
Charlotte has amnesia as a bonus.
The Fairy Queen is using her power in the barrier.
Right now, they couldnât deal with Billy and the forces of the fallen spirits led by the golden lord.
But she had the guts.
It was because the golden lord had no way to know their condition.
[Now, since I told you what I want, tell Grandpa what he wants too. Depending on the conditions, Iâll review it and listen to it!]
âItâs what I wantâ¦â
Actually, itâs a review and a nabbing, but you have to accept it unconditionally.
Yuna-kyung was not worried.
There is nothing that cannot be done with money.
And behind her were six of the richest people in the world who would give up even a billion dollars for Limon.
However, the golden lord did not reveal the conditions he wanted.
After fiddling with silver coins.
I just asked casually.
âSpirit Beast, why do you think I attacked the fairy kingdom?â
[Hmm⦠I thought it would interfere with the Fairy Queenâs attack on the Player Association?]
âThen what do you think Iâm hoping for and attacking the item and dungeon by-products market?â
[Of course, it is to destroy the Seven Dragons.]
âThen why do I want to destroy the Seven Dragons?â
[â¦Thatâs because the Seven Dragons must collapse so that my grandfather can monopolize all the wealth in this world.]
âWrong.â
[Wrong?]
âIt means you have the exact opposite understanding of my purpose.â
[Yes?]
What is the opposite?
Seeing Yuna-gyeong bewildered, the golden lord quietly continued by rolling the silver coin he was holding in his hand.
âMy purpose is not to seize all the wealth in the world, but to destroy all the wealth in the world.â
* * *
The not-so-distant past.
Even before the Iron Age, the world was developing rapidly.
Although the aftermath of the World War and the Demon God War was still confusing, there were plenty of opportunities for success and growth.
Especially since there were no players.
The Golden Lord was born in the middle of the 20th century.
âAs you can see, Iâm an Indian. He was also the son of a fairly famous shaman in the Continental Guardians.â
After the Elemental War.
The Continental Guardians were disbanded.
However, they continued to operate unofficially.
They possessed enormous wealth and knowledge that had been handed down since the Golden Age on this North American continent. He always occupied the highest level of society.
And even in such a continental guardian, the golden lord was famous as a promising player from a young age.
â I
had a talent.â
He amassed a lot of wealth, and even got a wife and children.â
He became the richest man in his tribe at a young age and was an object of envy and reverence for everyone.
Thanks to that, he married the most beautiful chieftainâs daughter in the tribe and gave birth to a healthy child. So,
even though there is no right answer in life, objectively speaking, his life could be said to be blessed enoughâ¦
until his wife died.
âMy wife was killed by a robber who was looking for money.
â He was a member of the tribe.â
âEven the friend who always shouted the Continental Guardianâs faith and pride, and begged me
for donations.â Anyway, his money was an unearned income from his investment.
âThe golden lord who doesnât want to is a traitor.
The golden lord directly disposed of his childhood friend, who shouted with bloodshot eyes, according to the tribal law. By
burning a huge bundle of bills as firewood as a donation that his friend always wanted so much.
â I worked harder to earn money.â
âAnd unlike before, I generously donated and sponsored the Continental Guardian and the tribe.â Even if
he had given a little wealth, his friend would not have turned into a robber and his wife would not have died.
Such regret is his In fact ,
thanks to that, his popularity grew not only within the tribe, but also within the Continental Guardian.
Thanks to the help of the Continental Guardian, which was closely connected with the regime, his business rather prospered and made huge profits. âPerhaps thanks to that, my son grew up wonderfully.â
â
To the extent that he inherited most of my business.â
Although his wife had misfortune, his grown-up son was a greater source of pride for him.
After the Iron Age opened.
Of course, even in the chaos caused by the appearance of dungeons and players, they steadfastly maintained their business.
Rather, it is all the more because he has been attracting attention as a new promising stock of the tribe by using the confusion to succeed in investment and business.
Howeverâ¦
âThat was until the company and the tribeâs public funds were emptied due to the failure of excessive investment.â
âAs a result, my company went bankrupt and the tribe sat in huge debt.â
âAnd the son and his wife, suffering from the resentment of the tribe members, eventually committed suicide leaving only their granddaughter behind.â
when I first heard the news.
The Golden Lord was unbelievable.
Even if your investment fails, as long as you are alive, there is a chance.
Especially since he was hiding a huge amount of slush funds to support the Continental Guardian.
It would have been possible to make a comeback using that slush fund, but why did the son make such a foolish choice?
And even if the tribe fell into debt, heâd given out twice as much so far.
Why is it that none of the tribe members remembers and appreciates that fact, and only resents the money his son lost?
Because I couldnât understand it.
A lifelong business.
Also the popularity of the tribe members.
A family that I cherished and loved.
In the end, the question became the only purpose in his dry mind after losing everything.
âWhy was my life so miserable? Iâve been thinking about it for a long time since then.â
âAnd until I was called the worldâs best investor, I realized it after seeing and going through a lot.â
âIn the end, all my misfortunes have been due to money, or to be precise, a world where money is everything.â
Money is, after all, a tool.
It is just a tool to achieve a goal and a piece of metal or paper to buy happiness.
Even in this modern age, most of them exist only as numbers on record without even a substance.
But people have forgotten that obvious fact.
Enough to regard money as a purpose rather than a means, and to feel wealth as the size of happiness soon.
The Continental Guardians, who always talked about honor and pride, became parasites demanding donations even when their sonâs business went bankrupt.
Even driving his family to death for just a few pennies of money.
In the end, itâs because people have come to regard money as everything in life.
After saying cut it off.
The golden lord added strength to the hand holding the silver coin and spoke in an icy voice.
âAnd it was the Seven Dragons who took the lead in making the world like this.â
world peace plan.
After inflating the value of dungeon by-products in order to monopolize all wealth.
In the end, the ugliest and most horrific conspiracy, with the player at the forefront, has enslaved the worldâs people to money.
As a result, all the happiness in the world was only for the rich, including the Seven Dragons, and those who did not acquire wealth became unhappy.
âThatâs why when I learned about the Seven Dragonsâ conspiracy, I felt doomed.â
âBecause Iâm the only one with the strength and will to foil their plot.â
if it was someone else.
Even if they defeat the conspiracy of the Seven Dragons, they will eventually try to obtain all the wealth instead of them.
However, since he had suffered from the evils of wealth all his life, the only old man who would not be swayed by the temptation declared without hesitation.
âSo I will destroy the Seven Dragons Group and remove the lure of money from this world.â
you can do anything with money
Thatâs why the world that only pursues money is wrong.
People should no longer be plagued by illusions like money, and should feel more value for their efforts and beliefs and live noble lives.
He will do anything to create a world where everyone can freely pursue happiness without being bound by money.
At the end of looking at the worldâs best investor who speaks sharply.
Yuna-kyung opened her beak.
[â¦Youâre doing a lot of shit.]
