The Great Thief

“Why do you ask this?”

Tweedle Dummy retracted from the bag of gold quickly like he had just been burnt.

“Uhh, don’t worry about it Tweedle Bro,” Shen Wansan said with a smile.

“Worry? Do I looked worried? Now I’m scared!” Tweedle Dummy looked around, afraid that there was a Thief in the room spying on them and selling their secrets to Glory Capital.

“Tweedle bro, calm down. We’ve known each other for so many years now – why are you scaring yourself? There just the two of us here. No one else will know what have talked about,” Shen Wansan responded confidently. He was a little speechless. Tweedle Dummy was a wealthy businessman, so it was quite embarrassing to see him acting like this.

In fact, if it weren’t for the business partnership he had with Lu Li until now, he would have definitely been just as paranoid, if not more paranoid than Tweedle Dummy.

Ordinary players, especially businessmen, were often afraid of offending the bigger clubs. Once a businessman offended a guild like Glory Capital, they had basically lost their future business. All business required dealing with people, and they had lost all those connections.

“Shen Bro, what are you saying? Aren’t you afraid? If Glory Capital reaches out and finds out about us, we’ll no longer have a place in this gaming circle.”

Tweedle Dummy was still worried, but he was now looking at the bag of gold. This was 10,000 gold coins, not just 100 or 1000. If he didn’t get lucky, he wouldn’t see that much money, even after selling two pieces of equipment to Glory Capital.

But now, all he needed to do was to say a few words and the 10,000 gold coins would be his. In addition, Shen Wansan had said that this was just a forward payment, and another final sum was also coming.

This damned Shen Wansan had to be someone sent by God to torture him!

“Tweedle Bro, I’m not trying to attack you, but you still live with your wife in that small flat right. Do you want your life to be like that forever? Are you going to be timid your whole life? How can you make it big if you do that? Dawn has brought so many opportunities for everyone, but the key is whether you’re willing to take them.”

Shen Wansan’s words were a temptation that kept bombarding Tweedle Dummy.

Tweedle Dummy’s face turned a little red, and his breathing became heavier.

Shen Wansan’s words were cutting, and Tweedle Dummy could feel it. He had earned more than 10,000 gold before and considered himself to be successful, but Shen Wansan was someone who could easily just drop 10,000 gold in front of him… which was just a deposit.

But what did that mean? It just made him even more frustrated!

“The only people who know what has happened today are the two of us. Just tell me the attributes of the two equipment, and these 20,000 gold coins are also yours!” Shen Wansan said as he grit his teeth and resolutely threw a second bag of gold onto the table.

The gold coins thunked onto the table, further fuelling Tweedle Dummy’s feeling of greed.

This was 30,000 gold coins!

He had previously been busy trying to get two pieces of equipment for Glory Capital, but he had only earned 14,000 gold coins. Now, all he had to do was move his mouth and he could earn 30,000 gold coins. With 30,000 gold coins and the previously earned 14,000 gold coins, he could move into a house in a rich area of the city. The objections that Tweedle Dummy had at first seemed to have dissipated when he saw the 30,000 gold.

Shen Wansan watched with satisfaction as Tweedle Dummy took the 30,000 gold, as he knew that an agreement had been reached. Screenshots of the attributes of an exquisite Epic equipment and a Legendary equipment were soon sent over.

Shen Wansan was speechless. This was the same guy who was so scared of offending Glory Capital, but he dared to send screenshots of the equipment?

However, it did make some sense. Anyone who saw Legendary equipment wouldn’t be indifferent towards it. He probably just kept a picture as a memento.

Shen Wansan wasn’t afraid that Tweedle Dummy was fooling him with a fake picture either. If he couldn’t offend Glory Capital, then he also couldn’t offend someone who could easily pay him 30,000 gold for some information.

“Shen Bro, now that I’ve given you the information, you must protect me. Glory Capital cannot know that I sold this information.”

“Relax Tweedle bro, this information will stay here with me. I didn’t meet you today, nor did you meet me,” Shen Wansan laughed before pouring another glass of wine. He intended

to leave once he was finished with that glass.

He already had a relationship with Tweedle Dummy, but now it was even stronger.

His next target was an ordinary player.

It was someone who had inadvertently opened a chest in a shipwreck and had found a Legendary Magic Staff. Glory Capital’s players then found the player and forced them to sell it for 12 million dollars.

Of course, the payment was made in real dollars.

“Bro, you’ve invited out to this meeting, yet you’re hiding your face. Surely that is not a good way to start.”

This player’s ID was Happy Fountain.

He had received a mysterious message that someone wanted to do business with him.

That was why he had come over. He previously was hesitant to do business with people, but ever since he had become rich overnight, Happy Fountain was hoping that more people would look for him to do business.

For a normal player to receive a huge sum of 12 million dollars, even after paying tax, he would receive more than 10 million dollars. Of course, Happy Fountain was looking forwards to doing more business if that was his experience so far.

“Hey brother, I am here to give you some money,” Shen Wansan said, lowering his voice. “I heard that you found a Legendary equipment.”

“How did you find out that I found a Legendary equipment?” Happy Fountain asked with some frustration. “Did you know that I had already sold it.”

“How much did you sell it for?” Shen Wansan questioned despite already knowing.

“12 million dollars. I’m now a multi-millionaire.”

People who came into money would often find it difficult to hide that fact. However, this was quite a normal response, and Happy Fountain was acting accordingly. There was a part of him that wanted to keep it quiet, but another part that wanted people know he had received this huge sum.

“Only 12 million dollars? Who did you sell it to? Surely that is not enough!” Shen Wansan exclaimed.

“12 million wasn’t enough?” Happy Fountain retorted somewhat aggressively.

The buyer that had come previously said that a Legendary equipment like this, especially one that wasn’t too overpowered, could only be sold for a maximum of 8 million dollars. Since there weren’t many people who afford it, it didn’t really have a market price. But how could this masked player now tell him that it was sold for too cheap a price?
