章 67: Lucifer is Coming I
Before Gaya could mess with the newcomers, Michael waved his hand as the door opened. On the other side, he saw a group of men in fancy clothes standing and they entered his house following a plumpy middle-aged man.
Looking at the man's big belly, a wicked smile, and bald head, Michael recognized this man as the loan shark of this world. Back on earth, he met his fair share of loan sharks. They would lend out money to anyone without asking for any official documents like a bank but after their client took the money, the loan sharks would dry them out by collecting the money with inhuman interest rate by any means necessary.
Only a few had escaped the clutches of a loan shark after taking the loan. At first, the Loan sharks would look like an angel but soon, they would turn into a devil.
"Greetings Sect Leader Claire and Elders. You never told me you have a 5-star Alchemist for a disciple" Gaya counted the bodyguards behind the man and noticed all of them were at Body Strengthening stage level 2. Although Gaya was haughty, she knew when to back off, therefore, she quietly walked back and stood behind Michael.
Without even asking Michael's permission, the fat man kept walking around his home and touched the things like he was prizing them. As usual, the bodyguards scanned every female in the room without hiding the lust in their eyes. Michael didn't get angry at them for this because, in their line of work, they would have taken many girls as payment from their clients.
Besides, there was no harm done in the bodyguards checking out the girls.
Sweat drops appeared on Claire's face and her rosy cheeks turned pale.
"You basically have a cash cow in your backyard"
"Ew" The man licked his lips staring at Michael and it grossed Gaya. Then the man came in front of Michael and the Elders. The bodyguards dragged Michael's sofa and placed it behind the old man to rest his bottom.
Michael watched everything calmly without uttering any words and waited for the man to come to the point.
"Nice sofa, very comfortable," The man said and moved his butt around the sofa feeling every inch of the sofa. Seeing this, Gaya almost lost her cool because only she and Michael used the sofa and at night, she used the sofa as her comfy bed. The man was practically rubbing his butt all over Gaya's bed.
"Hey, look at that, bring me that. It looks comfier" The man's eyes lit when he saw Gaya's back executive chair and ordered his guards to bring it over to him like he owned the chair.
"Human!" Gaya gritted her teeth but Michael gently grabbed her clenched fist and calmed her down.
"Lord Vandan" Claire stepped forward and said
"My legs are hurting" Ignoring Claire,Vandan, the fat man pointed at the last remaining sofa.
"Does he have a fetish for sofas?" Michael said to himself as the bodyguards dragged the sofa and placed it before Vandan. The loan shark then lifted both his legs and rested them on Michael's fancy sofa which he bought for 100 Badass points. In his mind, every badass point was precious to him and the man used his sofa as a leg rest irked Michael.
"Why are you all standing? sit down" Vandan smiled and said but the Elders frowned because there were no sofas left in the home for them to sit.
"What? Sitting on the ground do wonders for your bodies"
"System, give me the Royal Luxury corner sofa set" what kind of Badass would stand in front of a loan shark like a servant? And because the Elders and Claire were members of his Base of Operation, they kinda represented him. Therefore, Michael spent 200 Badass points and bought the luxurious sofa this sect has ever seen.
When the elders were about to bend their knees to sit on the ground, Michael waved his hand as the Royal sofa set appeared behind them.
"Woah"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 500 badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 400 badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 200 badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 100 badass points]
Vandan and the bodyguards opened their mouths widely looking at the pearl white sofa with golden pillows and pads. The sofa was so big as it took up most of the hall space, that's why Micheal didn't buy the sofa before. However, looking at the Badass points he earned by showing off, he was glad that he bought the sofa.
Gaya was the first one to appreciate its beauty as well as sit. She bounced around the sofa excitedly.
"Sect Leader Claire, Elders" Michael gestured at them and took the center seat on the sofa to directly face Vandan. Claire and Elders felt tough when they were with Michael. Claire nodded and sat beside Michael while Gaya sat on Michael's other side. He was sitting between two beauties but his eyes were locked on the loan sharks.
Vandan stared at Michael again and a wide grin appeared on his face again.
"So how much do we owe you, Lord Vandan?" Before Claire could open her mouth, Michael took the lead because this was his time to take the things into hands. He decided to turn his focus on turning this sect the other way around to start earning Badass points.
"Everything" Vandan calmly said and for the first time since Vandan came to the house, Gaya saw Michael's expression change.
Michael frowned and asked, "what do you mean everything?"
"Take a look at this" One bodyguard retrieved a parchment and placed it on Vandan's hand. Vandan then threw it at Michael. Gaya looked over his shoulder and read the parchment and the more she read, the more she was stunned by the stupidity of the Elders and Claire.
The parchment had many paragraphs but Gaya read many reports like this when she was a princess. The Elders and Claire basically put the entire sect's land and any income earned by the sect's land as the security deposit for the amount of 250,000 gold coins. According to this parchment, what they owned wasn't theirs but Vandan's, and technically, what Michael earned on the sect's land belonged to Vandan.
"We needed the Gold coins to treat Elder Sandra and keep the sect's door open" Claire apologetically said to Michael as he sighed.
"Give us a number, Lord Vandan. If there's a way for us to get released from the bonus of this agreement, I want to know"
"Hahaha, why are you worried about money? you're a freakin 5-star Alchemist"
"Yes, I know that. But even a 5-star Alchemist cannot provide you an infinite number of gold coins and the agreement basically asks just that. Since my sect took a loan from you, I'll settle the debt if you give me a number"
"Gho..."
"We'll discuss this later" Michael's stern voice made Claire shut up as Vandan rubbed his chin for a moment and shook his head.
"You know, I was going to settle for measly 4miilion gold considering the sect's status but now" he paused and grinned ear to eat.
"Now, 4millions is nowhere near enough because you're making money on my land and it's only fair for you to pay me. After all, it's my money that kept the sect's door from closing"
"Lord Vandan"
"SHUT UP!" when Elder Mark tried to say something, Vandan's smile instantly disappeared as he shouted at Elder Mark.
Then at the next moment, his smile returned and he looked at Michael
"I'm a reasonable man who runs a business helping people in need, so I will make you a fair deal. I'll let you keep running your business on my lands and in return, I'll get, hmmm, let's just say 75% of the profits you make. You can keep all the rest to yourself"
"Are you kidding?!" Gaya finally had enough of Vandan and shouted.
"I'll take the deal"
"Wait what?!" Gaya was stunned by Michael's answer and not only her, everyone at the scene was stunned, including Vardan and his men. They didn't expect him to accept the deal so quickly.
"Wonderful, this is the start of a mutually beneficial relationship. So how much did you earn today?" Vandan had no idea what's going on inside of Michael's head right now and neither did anyone.
"Gaya" Michael turned his gaze at her as Gaya stared at him and Vandan for a moment. But soon, she realized Michael is probably planning something evil, so she decided to go along with it instead of questioning him.
"600,000"
"Well I take your word for it, men, take only 450,000. And Ghost,im trusting you here,dont break my trust by doing something like reporting to the Baron or leaving the sect. Of course, I can't stop you from either of those but accidents happen, you know" It was a plain threat masked by Vandan's fake smile. Yet, even after being threatened, Michael didn't lose his cool but smiled.
"Why would I do that, Lord Vandan? If I'm right, you must have researched about me before coming here, and I'm sure you know, Baron's family and I are not best pals"
"I like you Ghost, let's just keep it that way" Vandan smiled again and stood up to leave after the men took most of Michael's hard-earned gold coins.
"Let's shake hands for our new deal, Lord Vardan '' Michael stepped forward and reached his hand out. Vandan was surprised by this gesture. Vandan was not a fool, he knew very well that he blackmailed and threatened the youngster before him. Vandan couldn't figure out why he looks so calm despite his threats and blackmails. Prodigies like him are known to have a quick temper and pride as they wouldn't like to be threatened but this youngster before him seemed not to be a typical prodigy.
However, it didn't matter what he thought. As far as Vandan knew, Ghost had no known major power backing in Bredia and even if he did, they can't touch Vandan and his company because they had no headquarters or places as Vandan's company traveled around the continent to avoid being located by their enemies. Therefore even if Ghost had someone behind him, they wouldn't be able to locate Vandan and his men to attack and if they try, Vandan would burn this place to the ground when no one is expecting.
"Why not?" Vandan smiled and shook Michael's hands before leaving the house.
