Chapter 27

C27 – Collecting Money!

Silence enveloped the area, as profound as the stillness of death itself. No one anticipated the rapid reversal of fortunes. Equally unexpected was the demise of Elder Qiao, the unparalleled expert of Long Song City, at the hands of someone widely known as the Loser Royal Highness—and it was an instantaneous counter-kill at that. The skies of Long Song City were likely on the brink of change.

​The green hue lingered in the sky, dwarfing the Rain Listening Pavilion, as Choo Qin experienced an elevation in his life’s essence. The potency of the Small Spell was unlike any rune before it. If fully harnessed by Choo Qin, it would become an additional nucleus.

​Within the colossal green figure, Choo Qin was the heart, the core. Moreover, this green giant was insulated from external magical forces, creating its own isolated cycle, effectively cutting off any magical interference from other mages.

The giant vanished, and Choo Qin reemerged, his face now adorned with a mischievous smile. With a casual flick of his wrist, he conjured a wall of fire, encircling the merchants and nobles who had yet to depart.

“Come now, let’s resume our discussion about the welcome festivities,” he beckoned.

“Protection fees are one thousand for guards, ten thousand gold coins for small merchants, and a major property for each Great Merchant and noble. Mages will contribute Devil Stones in accordance with their Rank!”

“Should anyone wish to challenge me, I am ready to oblige, but be warned—the welcome fee will be doubled!”

​Choo Qin’s tone was light, tinged with enthusiasm, yet a chill hung in the air. After witnessing the recent divine-like intervention, who would dare to object?

“Your Highness... Your Highness... I have only ten thousand gold coins,” a man stammered, “but having witnessed Your Highness’s formidable presence, I am utterly in awe. I’ve decided to offer an additional ten thousand gold coins to honor your arrival in Long Song City.”

The first to step forward was a somewhat portly man.

​”Excellent, very good,” Choo Qin commended, his eyes narrowing in satisfaction. This was a promising start.

He accepted the money bag and casually tossed it into the Dragon Void, eliciting gasps of astonishment from the onlookers. Such a display of Space Type magic only heightened his air of enigma.

“Yes, but it must be delivered to Thundery Castle within three days! Anyone short on cash can write an IOU. But be warned, if you fail to pay up, I’ll come looking for you personally!”

“Your Highness, I don’t have enough money... Could I perhaps... offer myself as collateral?”

A sultry voice rang out, surprisingly belonging to a lady of high standing.

Choo Qin gulped, but in the public eye, he simply shook his head.

“Hmph... You may go today. Next time, we might have a private conversation.”

Suddenly, the Rain Listening Pavilion, typically a symbol of the elite, resembled a bustling marketplace.

Choo Qin, basking in the limelight, joyfully collected the money. His ambition was to transform Thundery Castle into his own impregnable fortress!

Regrettably, Choo Qin’s moment of triumph was cut short by an urgent voice.

“Your Highness... Your Highness... Trouble... The Jiaang family has sent more people!”

“This time, the law enforcement elder from the Earl Mansion and representatives from the Mage Guild are involved!”
