Chapter 823: "Huge Money"

"Urban, is that you?" Zhang Cheng let go of Elizabeth and turned to look at the mysterious man with the sword on Abraham Borroman's neck.

Despite the fact that the other party was wearing a strange metal mask and the weapon was a highly recognizable spellbreaker, he still found a sense of familiarity in his movements.

"Oh, do you recognize me in that dress?" the mysterious man took off his mask, revealing the surprised face of Urban-Best.

You must know that the metal mask he is wearing now is not the kind of appearance that is simply used to cover his facial features, but a magic mask from ancient Greece and Rome.

It is said that this mask was made by the sacrifice of Dionysus, the god of wine, and was endowed with powerful magical powers, so if you wear it, you can not only perfectly hide all the iconic features of your body, but also change your smell, hair color, and gender.

Zhang Cheng undoubtedly also discovered the strange energy condensed on the surface of the mask, and explained with a smile: "No, I didn't recognize you, I just think your action of putting the sword on someone else's neck is a little familiar. After all, no matter how a person's external image changes, his habitual movements will never change, especially someone like you who is good at using cold weapons. By the way, how did you end up at the New York Harbor dock?"

"I see...... Urban's expression was thoughtful, and he pointed to a giant freighter unloading in the distance. "I shipped a new batch of goods from Europe, more than two hundred, and I personally escorted them for safety. ”

"New?" Zhang Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of discoloration.

An outsider may not know exactly what the so-called "new" is, but he knows very well that one of the closed containers must be filled with vampires who have been sold as slaves.

In fact, in just a few months, the succubus Raines has relied on this criminal business to form a group of shadow mages with a total of more than 5,000 people, which shows the tragic experience of the vampires in recent times.

It can even be said that they have gone from being the kings of the night who could hunt humans everywhere and feed on blood, to the prey in the eyes of countless outlaws.

At present, many vampire families don't even dare to go out hunting, for fear of being accidentally targeted by dangerous elements, and then disappearing inexplicably.

The greedy and evil forces of capital, the first time they showed their fangs in the underground world, made the entire vampire race restless.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? At present, there are many hunter squads in major European cities that specialize in catching vampires, and they do not spare even the nobles for a good reward. Urban's bloodthirsty grin grinned.

There is no doubt that all this is the result of his secret incition.

After all, to challenge an inherently large force like this, it is necessary for a strong and fearless person to take the lead, and at the same time, everyone must see that not only can they gain great benefits from it, but they must also be able to escape the fierce revenge of the other party later.

In this way, driven by both example and benefit, the inhabitants of the underworld will take action to join in.

When the number reaches a certain size, coupled with the tacit approval of some lords and councilors, even the high-ranking vampire dukes and princes can't come up with a good solution.

Zhang Cheng could obviously imagine how panicked these guys were in their hearts, and pursed the corners of his mouth and praised: "Good job! It seems that you have made them suffer a lot." ”

"You know, I love nothing more than fighting powerful opponents, eager to pierce my enemies in the chest with a sharp blade, slice the great arteries in their necks, and feel the beauty of blood splashing in the air. ”

As he said this, the blade in Euben Best's hand slashed lightly through the captive's skin, drawing a line of blood on his neck, and the dark red beads of blood quickly stained the large white shirt red.

Abraham Boroman was obviously frightened and couldn't help but shout: "Don't ...... Don't kill me! I have a lot of money! If you will let me go, I will give it all as a ransom. ”

"A lot of money?" said Urben Best with undisguised contempt.

He didn't think a depraved druid who was engaged in smuggling magical creatures could have any huge amount of money on hand.

"Sixty thousand! I have sixty thousand gold dinars! And eight hundred million dollars in bonds and deposits!"

In order to save his own life, Abraham Borroman reported his family without thinking.

He never dreamed that instead of bringing huge profits, a rare manticore would attract a terrible enemy.

"Sixty thousand gold dinars?!" Urban's mouth opened subconsciously, as if he had heard something incredible.

You must know that the golden dinar is not one of the junk banknotes in modern society that is based on national credit but has no value in itself, and can be printed as much as you want.

On the contrary, it is a magical currency, minted in a very special place, and the annual production is so limited that the average Underworld dweller may not have access to it for a lifetime.

Generally speaking, only for the trade of magical items, potions, and precious materials, the two parties will choose to use the gold dinar, rather than the dollar or euro, which depreciates significantly every year.

Sixty thousand gold dinars, which is almost equivalent to the total income of a lord for several years, can definitely be called an out-and-out huge amount of money.

By contrast, $800 million in deposits and bonds is less remarkable.

"That's right! Sixty thousand! As long as you assume that today's incident didn't happen. Abraham Borroman glanced at the blood-soaked collar and repeated nervously.

Through the screams and wails that came from time to time around him, he was almost certain that his men were dead, and the only thing he could do now was to save his life as much as possible, and then look for an opportunity to rebuild the smuggling network when the turmoil passed.

Seeing the strong desire to survive in the eyes of many people before they died, Urbane suddenly understood the thoughts of the guy in front of him, and joked with a smile: "Sixty thousand gold dinars buy a life, I think this business is very cost-effective, what do you think?"

"I don't know, I'll have to ask Elizabeth about this deal, she's the one who has the authority to make the decision. Zhang Cheng spread his hands indifferently.

"I? Of course I agreed! God, that's a huge fortune of 60,000 gold dinars plus 800 million dollars!" the girl did not hesitate to forget the previous unpleasantness, and her eyes revealed surprise and anticipation.

In any case, she is a young girl who came out of the slums, and she will never forget the days when she struggled to survive with her foster family not so long ago.

As for what the other party wanted to kill himself just now, it was nothing in the slums, not to mention that a large sum of money was enough to make up for the mental fright......
