"No, it's the Dragon Head," Nalan Zhengqi said with a defeated look on his face.
"Him?" Everyone was shocked. He was one of the most powerful fighters in Huaxia, and just thinking about him made everyone a bit fearful.
"Yes!" Nalan Zhengqi responded, and then he had soone check the current gold ratio as he planned to raise enough funds for the Dragon Team.
The Grand Elder, Celestial Vault, grimaced and said, "Gold should be 278 per gram, 100 tons trade for about 26 billion, we're losing big here."
"Sigh, if we have to give it, let's not think too much about it." The Earth Demon beca submissive when facing a big boss like the Dragon Head. Otherwise, if they angered him, even if they traveled to the ends of the earth, they might not evade the Dragon Team's pursuit.
"Then let's give it!" The Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and others could only nod helplessly in agreent.
However, Gao Lun, who checked the gold price per gram, was truly stunned at the mont. This... is this screen faulty? 500 per gram...
"What's going on?" Gao Lun asked his subordinates in the Assassin Alliance's finance departnt.
"The Gold Stock Market, it surged directly to 500 per gram when the market opened this morning. The average selling price across the market is over 450 per gram, the highest price for Huaxia gold." The finance person replied. They were handling money for the Assassin Alliance but did not know of its existence, only that on the surface, the Assassin Alliance was a small company handling huge sums of money.
"Are you sure it just rose to 500 per gram today?" Gao Lun's face was ashen. If this was true, wouldn't the Assassin Alliance have to give the Dragon Team 50 billion?
"Yes, Manager Gao," the finance staff nodded.
Upon hearing the finance person's confirmation, Gao Lun's legs went weak.
He then rushed back to the Assassin Alliance headquarters in a panic.
Gao Lun's recklessness caused many high-ranking mbers of the Assassin Alliance to frown secretly, each inwardly blaming Gao Lun for lacking composure.
"Gao Lun," the Vice Alliance Leader Sha Po Lang grunted with a frown.
"Alliance Leader, Vice Alliance Leader, Grand Elder, sothing terrible has happened, sothing terrible." Gao Lun reported hurriedly before he had even caught his breath.
"What's the panic for?" Nalan Zhengqi grunted.
"Gold, the price of gold has soared, and the increase is almost double than before," Gao Lun gulped and reported anxiously.
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
All the masters of the Assassin Alliance stood up, disbelief in their eyes. If what Gao Lun said was true, wouldn't the Assassin Alliance be utterly ruined this ti?
"Gold... gold... the Gold Stock Market soared to 500 per gram after opening this morning, marking the highest price for Huaxia gold ever," Gao Lun, drenched in cold sweat, reported hurriedly.
He feared Nalan Zhengqi might kill him because he was the one who provided Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb site. If not for him, the Assassin Alliance wouldn't be in this predicant.
"Ah!" Nalan Zhengqi didn't believe it. In anger, he violently smashed everything in front of him onto the floor.
"Impossible, this is impossible...." the Grand Elder Celestial Vault roared.
Earth Demon's face was also gloomy as he watched. He really hoped Gao Lun's words were a joke. If Gao Lun was joking, he wouldn't do anything to him and might reward him with millions.
"What's going on?" Sha Po Lang asked calmly and solidly, maintaining his composure as he questioned Gao Lun.
"This morning at the market opening, two forces specializing in gold drove the market price to 500 per gram. Although not many are investing now, the price remains steady at 500 per gram, hinting at how deep-pocketed these two companies are," Gao Lun reported in a hurry.
"Doesn't that an we have to pay the Dragon Team 50 billion at the market's gold price?" Sha Po Lang's face also turned grim; where would the Assassin Alliance get 50 billion? Coming up with 30 billion is already the pinnacle.
Indeed! If each of their private fortunes was offered, they might temporarily weather this crisis.
"Celestial Vault, can you tell , what the hell is going on?" Nalan Zhengqi roared at the Grand Elder Celestial Vault.
"I... I don't know, under normal stock trading, this shouldn't be possible! Alliance Leader, could it be the Dragon Team framing our Assassin Alliance?" Celestial Vault conjured an imaginative scenario involving the Dragon Team.
"Ah! This Dragon Team, they're going too far." The Second Elder Earth Demon roared, though he feared the Dragon Head, with him absent, his caution diminished.
"Silence." Sha Po Lang coldly snorted calmly.
"Vice Alliance Leader, can you tolerate this?" Earth Demon desperately rubbed his head, thoroughly upset.
"What else can we do?" The Vice Alliance Leader Sha Po Lang coldly replied, "Is the Assassin Alliance capable of stopping the Dragon Team?"
"I..." Earth Demon was speechless. Indeed, they didn't have the slightest power to stop the Dragon Team; their prowess had long surpassed ordinary people into the domain of innate experts.
Everyone was speechless; compliance was their only option besides destruction.
Nalan Zhengqi looked defeated as he aimlessly walked over to make a secret phone call.
No one knew who he called, but this call might provide a vital lifeline.
The Assassin Alliance compromised, inevitably capitulating, and ultimately agreed to give the Dragon Team 50 billion. The Dragon Team relented, though they sternly warned the Assassin Alliance against targeting national assets again.
The Assassin Alliance seethed inside, but they dared not refuse.
...
On the eighth day of Ye Hao's military training, it had reached its halfway point, with Ye Hao spending carefree days with several girls.
Xue Zhaolong, Zhuorong Town, Lu Yunsong, and more than ten others were in the Indian Ocean, near South Africa, and had found the Dark River. However, the Dark River was turbulent; finding a thod to mine the gold deposits within was not a matter to be settled in a day.
That day, Ye Hao competed with Yang Zui to see who could run the longest. Both excelled in National Martial Arts. They began running in the morning, covering nearly ten thousand ters. Yet, both still had stamina, but military training ti arrived, leaving no winner decided.
Yang Zui provocatively glanced at Ye Hao on the track and humd, "Kid, let's go again next ti."
"Bring it on, who's afraid of who?"
"Beep beep beep!" Just as Ye Hao was about to continue speaking, his phone received an urgent ssage.
The ssage read: Team A urgent eting, mandatory attendance.
After reading, Ye Hao bypassed Yang Zui and rushed to Lin Ruyu and Su Qing with urgency, saying, "Yu, Qingqing, I've got sothing urgent, you take care at ho."
"Go on!" Lin Ruyu and Su Qing saw the urgency on Ye Hao's face and could only nod, letting him leave. (To be continued.
