41: Chapter 41 You've hit the jackpot!

On the breeding industry side, the purchasing manager of Yunding Restaurant was also very reliable.

At one thousand beasts a day, settled at a ten percent discount, and after deducting the platform's handling fees, his daily net income was over 1.7 million credit points.

After three days, Gu Han's account balance soared directly to over 5.4 million.

This rate of making money was simply too comfortable.

As for Fangxin Loan, which had threatened him, they actually sent a squad of Goblins. Before they could even scout around, they were taken out by the patrolling Ant-men.

Gu Han thought about it and decided to pay back the two million principal first. After all, he really had borrowed two million, and if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to handle it as a student for now. Plus, he didn't want to expose the uniqueness of his skills so early.

But as it turned out, the other party refused to acknowledge it.

After he paid back the money, the Fangxin Loan app sent another long bill.

"Overdue Penalty: 500,000."

"Divine Kingdom Coordinate Locking Fee: 200,000."

"Collection Fee: 300,000."

"Collection Casualty Compensation: 1.5 million."

Adding everything up, they forcefully cobbled together nearly three million in debt for him, and threatened that if he didn't sign the high-interest terms, they wouldn't just be sending small-time lackeys next time.

Looking at the collection casualty compensation, Gu Han really didn't expect these people to be so shameless. They sent troops to attack his Divine Kingdom, yet the resulting loss of military force was actually charged to him.

This thoroughly angered Gu Han. Such a company was a bottomless pit. The principal had been paid back to them anyway, and these unreasonable demands held absolutely no legal validity. All they could do was continuously threaten him with the safety of his Divine Kingdom.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he would kill as many as they sent. He was still a student under national protection, so he wasn't afraid of being targeted offline for the time being.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Adhering to confidentiality principles, Fangxin Loan only established matching coordinates for the customer's Divine Kingdom after assessing it, and did not save any of the customer's personal information at all.

After all, with the Divine Kingdom coordinates and the Divine Kingdom Core in hand, they could feed off a Divine Lord for a lifetime.

But they never expected that they would run into a tough nut to crack.

The clerk responsible for Gu Han's case swallowed hard, a fine layer of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He had been in this line of work for three years and had handled eight hundred if not a thousand cases. Usually, when facing clients with a C-Rank Divine Kingdom, they only had to send a few Orcs over to brandish their weapons, and the client would pee their pants in fear, obediently signing a high-interest contract akin to an indenture.

But today's case felt downright bizarre.

He grabbed the tablet on his desk, walked quickly down the hallway, and pushed open the door to the department supervisor's office.

"Brother Song, something's happened."

Behind the desk, Brother Song was leaning back in his chair, playing on a handheld console.

"Xiao Liu! What do I usually teach you? In our line of work, the biggest taboo is losing your composure."

Xiao Liu took a few steps to the desk and handed the tablet over.

"Brother Song, I'm really not making a fuss over nothing. This case, number 9527, is the C-Rank Divine Kingdom that borrowed two million. The situation isn't right."

Brother Song put down his handheld and glanced over.

"What's not right? Is it overdue? Or is he refusing to sign the new contract?"

"He paid back the principal."

Brother Song frowned and sat up straight.

"Paid back? The two million principal, settled all at once?"

"Yes, fully paid back. I drew up a compensation bill for him according to the usual procedure."

"Did he report it to the police?"

"No, he seems to have uninstalled the app. He didn't reply to anything I said."

Brother Song sneered and leaned back in his chair again.

"I thought it was some big deal. I've seen plenty of these hotheads. They think they can just pat their butts and leave after paying back the principal? We hold his Divine Kingdom coordinates in our hands, can he run? Send an outsourced collection team over to teach him a lesson, burn a few acres of his land, kill his believers, and he'll naturally reinstall the app and come looking for us."

Xiao Liu's face looked even worse.

"Brother Song, that's exactly where the problem is. I just outsourced the case to the 'Black Rat' squad earlier. They sent thirty Goblin Swordsmans over, and they're all dead. The people on Black Rat's side have been blowing up my phone, demanding compensation from me."

The office fell silent for a moment.

Brother Song stared at the data on the tablet. For a Divine Kingdom with a C-Rank evaluation to completely annihilate thirty Goblin Swordsmans seemed utterly unreasonable no matter how he looked at it.

Seeing that Brother Song wasn't speaking, Xiao Liu felt increasingly uneasy.

"Brother Song, do you think this kid is playing the weakling to prey on the strong? What if he has a very deep background? If we do this, will we get into trouble? How about... we just drop this case? At least we got the principal back."

*Slam!*

Brother Song slammed his hand on the table. "Bullshit! Then wouldn't that loan have been given out for nothing? Besides, Black Rat is demanding compensation from me too!"

Brother Song stood up, paced around the desk twice, and the gloom on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by an excitement that came from figuring it all out. He pointed his finger right at Xiao Liu's nose.

"Xiao Liu, oh Xiao Liu, you've been working for three years and your mind is still so rigid. Think about it carefully, where would a client with a C-Rank talent get two million in cash to repay the loan? If he really had money, why would he come to us for this kind of illegal online loan in the first place?"

Xiao Liu was stunned, following this line of thought.

"You mean..."

"Isn't it obvious?" Brother Song leaned both hands on the desk, lowering his voice, his tone filled with absolute certainty. "This is definitely a scion of some big family! And the kind of marginal figure with a C-Rank evaluation who isn't valued by his family."

Xiao Liu was completely bewildered.

"A scion of a big family? A useless trash?"

Brother Song put on an air of having seen through everything. "Precisely because he's a waste, his family must have restricted his resources and refused to give him money to develop his Divine Kingdom. Unwilling to accept this, the kid secretly ran out behind his family's back to borrow money from us to buy resources, wanting to take a gamble."

Xiao Liu suddenly saw the light.

"So that two million principal was borrowed from his friends, or cobbled together by selling some personal belongings?"

"Most likely." Brother Song tapped the tablet screen. "As for why the Black Rat squad was wiped out, that's even simpler. He's from a big family, so how could he not have a few life-saving trump cards in his hands? If an elder casually gifted him a high-grade defensive structure, wiping out dozens of Goblins would be like child's play."

After hearing this analysis, instead of relaxing, Xiao Liu panicked even more.

"Brother Song, since he's from a big family, we shouldn't provoke him even more! What if his family traces it back to us?"

"What the hell do you know!"

Brother Song cursed, frustrated by his lack of ambition.

"He's a C-Rank trash, do you think his family would care about him? A big family's resources are reserved for geniuses; nobody cares if a piece of garbage like him dies outside. But don't forget one thing, what do big families care about the most?"

Xiao Liu answered tentatively, "Face?"

"Exactly! It's face!" Brother Song clapped his hands hard. "We have his Divine Kingdom coordinates in our hands. As long as we keep sending troops to attack him and drive him into a corner, he won't be able to hold out on his own and will definitely cry to his family for help. When that time comes, to save face and their child's life, his parents will absolutely send someone to negotiate with us."

The more Brother Song spoke, the more excited he became. "At that point, we won't just be asking for his three million in liquidated damages. We'll quote directly—fifty million! No, one hundred million! We'll make his family spend money to buy out these Divine Kingdom coordinates. Xiao Liu, you're in luck, you've hit the jackpot!"

Xiao Liu was stunned by Brother Song's deduction. He swallowed hard, and his mind even began to calculate how much commission he could get.

The immense profit instantly overwhelmed his inner fear.

"Brother Song, what should we do now? He has defensive fortifications in his Divine Kingdom, so an ordinary outsourced squad going over would just be committing suicide."

Brother Song snorted coldly, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. "I'm investing in this case. Contact the 'Mad Rhino' Raider Group."

Xiao Liu gasped.

"Mad Rhino? They are a top-ten debt collection team in the black market, with an appearance fee starting at one million."

"You can't catch a wolf cub without risking the child." Brother Song gritted his teeth. "Tell the leader of Mad Rhino that I'll give him five million for this case. Have him send some Transcendental Believers in and beat them to death! As long as they don't completely destroy the Divine Kingdom Core, they can mess around however they want."

"Understood!"

Xiao Liu straightened his back, feeling the blood in his entire body boiling, feeling like he was walking on air.

A case that even Brother Song was investing in was a massive business. As long as it succeeded, he wouldn't have to worry for the rest of his life.
