Chapter 137: Mission completed
The disappearance of one of the wealthiest men shocked Soneli Country.
With this, the vulnerability of ordinary humans became increasingly evident, but another shocking piece of news was revealed, equally concerning the same person.
Johew possibly died by murder, but he had left everything prepared to donate all his money, so somehow, Johew seemed to have gone out a hero.
Johew's messages were revealed before he disappeared and possibly died, and all agreed that he had left written and signed documents to sell all his territories and companies to donate that money to poor and needy people.
This act shocked many people, all the more so because companies and territories were sold at an astonishing speed to different newly discovered identities. The businessmen were all businessmen with overseas investments, but in just one night, all their companies had been sold.
Johew died murdered and left nothing but fortune to his family, or so it was said.
No one thought that, behind the scenes, he was a little sorcerer who was not even remarkable within his own age but who had managed to take all the money from Johew's family without them being able to do anything. It was Johew's own order.
Naturally, all that money seemed to have gone to shelters and organizations to help the poor all over the country, although in reality, only 5 to 10% of the total money did. The rest found its way into the hands of Klaus, the man behind it all.
But this wasn't just done by Klaus.
After receiving all this news, Klaus left Jasmine in his research center and went to the place specified in one of the messages, to the place where Johew's family was being held, and no sooner had he arrived than he killed them. They were all accomplices to Johew's misdeeds; they deserved to die.
When he arrived, four familiar faces were waiting for him.
One of them was Carion, and the other three were unexpected since there was the commander of the first mission Klaus did in this world, that annoying guy who liked money, Ronord Lafbar, and...
Mr. Frederick and Mrs. Marly, both hostages whom he saved from that mission.
Although they had all agreed to cooperate with him this time because they owed him a favor, they were shocked when they learned the magnitude of what they had been involved in.
They are participants in the murder of one of the 10 richest men in the nation!
Worse yet, they are participants in one of the most bizarre and, somehow, well-planned robberies they have ever seen!
They had the money in hand, so they were in shock.
This put them in the same bag as Klaus, so it tied them to him.
He made light of that, though, and thanked them for their help.
"As I promised you, part of this will be yours. You just have to be careful; powerful organizations are behind these companies."
Frederick sighed. "Mr. Klaus, don't worry. A few months ago, you were barely a sorcerer fresh out of the oven, but suddenly, we meet again, and you are already so powerful. I'm afraid that we, your subordinates, will be privileged to have you before long. So we will look after the interests of whatever you deliver to us."
"Good. From now on, we will have better contact; you can go home, Mr. Frederick and Mrs. Marly. I am grateful to you, so I will give you something good so you can retire peacefully."
"Hahaha, we are not yet too old to retire, but we will take the floor, Mr. Klaus. We look forward to your good news."
After that, the husband and wife duo left the place, leaving only three sorcerers and several corpses.
Carion was the first to react.
"Sigh, I never thought you'd be on this mission and even dare to do something as risky as that. You know this couldn't stay like this, right?"
"Well, I know the risks I take. Don't worry about that; I'll find a way to make this mission go well."
"I know, you always get it. I admire you, Klaus. But don't kill yourself so young; you have a great future ahead of you." Carion's sigh was genuine, as was his tone of concern.
The other guy, Ronor Lafbar, looked at the exchanges and felt depressed.
And to think that a few months ago, that guy was weaker than him.
How the hell had he gotten so much stronger? He came here and did as he asked since they hadn't lost contact since then. Ronor felt grateful to Klaus because, in the end, he saved him. He was even the one who made Ronor complete the mission, which increased his status in the organization, but he didn't expect to find himself with such an important mission and even such a big difference between him and Klaus.
"Although you are young, you have potential in this sort of thing, Ronor Lafbar. I called you here because I thought you would be attracted to the money and keep the situation a secret, but I didn't even mention how much I would pay you, and you already agreed."
Ronor cleared his mind of thoughts and smiled at Klaus. "Even though I don't want to admit it, thanks to you, I'm making more money now. Besides, I was part of Carion's group before, so I decided to pay you now that you two have formed a group and have moved away from my level. It's just... I didn't expect to get caught up in something so big. I was just planning to return the favor to you, and now I feel like I got caught up in some high-level mafia."
At his joke, Klaus laughed genuinely.
"True, that's what it sounds like. But it's more of a scientific body you're trapped in. Why don't you join my organization? I'll barely set it up in a few days, but we'll have a great starting base."
Ronor hesitated a little. "What do you intend to do, a sorcerer's organization?"
"No." Klaus shook his head. "Research center and business organization."
"I see, that's why you're doing this." Carion noticed, and Ronor nodded.
"That's fine. I'll join; I don't think I'll lose anything anyway since I can still stay in Red Tower, right?"
"That's right. I'll call you later to let you know about it."
Ronor proceeded to take his leave, but Klaus spoke to him before he left.
"Now that you know all this, you should know that it wouldn't be a good idea to reveal it to the public. I hope you are good at keeping secrets."
Although it didn't sound like a threat, in a way it was.
And Ronor knew it, he smiled.
"Keeping secrets to preserve my life is my passion. Don't worry, I'm good at preserving my life." After this, Ronor walked out of there.
Klaus proceeded to clean up the place and nodded to Carion.
"Today will possibly be a long day. Are you ready?"
"Ever since I went to bed, I have been." Carion smiled and clenched his fists. "I already want to hit beasts since you say there are many of them; then we could fight a good battle."
"Hahaha, fine. If you're upbeat, it's better. Come on then, the mission will begin shortly."
Klaus knew that to achieve his goals, he must not rest. Although he now seemed to have enough power and money to be a powerful man in the nation, what was he worth if he had no power?
Knowing the frailty of humans had taught him that he needed power above all else, so now in more, he must grow stronger. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
