Chapter 1184 - 1184 191 Auction_2

1184: Chapter 191, Auction_2 1184: Chapter 191, Auction_2 Every Master of Magic Potion has a bunch of bizarre creations.

The birth of a magic potion is often filled with countless failed experiments.

Failed experiments do not mean the potion is worthless.

Many magic potions are made by modifying the by-products of failed experiments.

Participating in auctions without knowing the specific effects is like opening a mystery box.

If it were a creation by an ordinary magician, no one would even take a glance, but it’s different when it bears the name of Master Kembery.

The passage of time has not only failed to dilute the divine halo above his head but has been increasingly mythologized by later generations.

Among the rumors, Master Kembery also made potions that help humans break through to the Sanctuary.

Although it is hard to verify the truth, there will always be people willing to take the risk.

Especially the old fellows whose lives are nearing the end, even with just a one in ten thousand chance, they are willing to take the risk.

If you disregard the side effects, the bunch of potions Hudson presented have, more or less, the capability to enhance one’s cultivation.

But to rely on these potions to break through to the Sanctuary depends on whether the Lord of the Dawn will bless.

On the contrary, the probability of dying directly is slightly higher.

“There’s no way, the hole is just too big.

Fill as much of the ledger as possible!

The issue has already leaked, the Clergy definitely won’t want to take the blame.

With their capability, as long as they are willing to investigate, they will sooner or later pin the suspicion on the duchy.

It’s not a problem if we only offend the Clergy alone, they currently can’t reach our duchy anyway, but absolutely cannot leave any obvious evidence!”

George said with a solemn expression.

Offending the Clergy isn’t scary, after all, Moxi Duchy, besides the neighboring Alpha Kingdom, is surrounded by Different Races.

Once the Five Nations Alliance is established, the Moxi Duchy will be even safer.

In the last Continent-wide war, the Clergy really harmed the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent.

Even if it’s just for revenge against the Clergy, the three kingdoms will support them.

The premise is: they cannot expose any obvious evidence.

Without evidence, it’s just a muddled account.

The Clergy’s investigation results: the Frank Kingdom will not admit, the Alpha Kingdom will not admit, the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent want to remain consistent with allies, and the rest of the Human Kingdoms will be half doubtful.

There’s no way; the current Dawn Sect just has that little credibility.

Even if the Pope himself steps forward, it’s hard to make people fully believe.

“Speaking of which, Hudson.

I heard you’ve set up a Near East Development Bank, just advance some funds to me to cope for now!

You don’t really need to provide the actual money; just make a public announcement.

However big the loan amount can be touted, do so.

The Duchy will pay the handling fees, it won’t make things difficult for you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hudson instantly understood George’s real purpose.

The previous auction was just a target set in plain sight.

In terms of money laundering capabilities, banks are obviously more professional.

Nowadays, without supervisory authorities, the Near East Development Bank’s internal accounts do not need to be disclosed.

Fabricate a deposit, and then forge a loan.

With the funding for the loan secured, the bank’s performance improves, and the Moxi Duchy Government has a reasonable explanation for its funding source.

Issuing a massive low-interest loan to the Moxi government for the sake of the Moxi Duchy market is completely reasonable.

Even if other shareholders saw it, they would just think it is a political transaction of exchanging money for market access.

With the cost of capital virtually zero, even low interest rates will yield profits.

Just silently make a fortune, why bother struggling with money?

“Your Majesty, rest assured, the Near East Development Bank is very willing to gain a quality customer!”

Hudson calmly replied.

Without any exaggeration, the current Moxi Duchy Government is indeed a quality client.

Piling up debts is just a facade made for the outside world.

Inside, it is absolutely solid, a truly quality client.

…

A deal settled, which left Hudson at leisure, he then strolled around Moxi Duchy with his wife.

“Hudson, why do I find that your popularity here is even better than back in the Kingdom?”

Melissa jokingly asked.

“It’s not just a bit better, it’s clearly more than ten times better!

No matter how well I do at home, there will always be those who are unhappy.

My rise itself is a shock to the Major Noble Consortium.

While it seems smooth sailing on the surface, the behind-the-scenes treachery never stops.

But it’s different here, a foreign Marshal is good at directing troops.

No matter how high I soar, I won’t stay and compete with them for their piece of the pie.

Even if some discontent occurs during the command, everyone will soon forget about it.

With no core interest conflicts, nobody minds having a capable Marshal as a friend.

As long as I don’t meddle with specific interests, my popularity here will continue to be good!”

Hudson sighed.

It’s not that he’s assuming the worst of human nature, but rather the world is just so cruel.

Friends and enemies in the realms of nobility often change in an instant.

Even between real brothers, when the conflicts of interest accumulate substantially, they will turn against each other.

“Hudson, with you putting it that way, I don’t even know how to deal with those sisters anymore.

Forget it, just keep playing these ghostly politics by yourself, I really don’t want to bother thinking about these things.”
