Chapter 264: Chapter 141: Borrowing Money is Not the Goal, Establishing a Debt Relationship is the Goal_2

He had reserved the power of the three Goddesses: Nature, Sun, and Moonlight. Nature was already secured, and the Sun was easy to handle once he wore the Valkyrie armor—The Book of Greed had stored enough divine power of the Sun for use. The Moonlight was the only issue...

"It’s not impossible, I can establish a debt relationship with Chris. Last night, she even changed into a short skirt. If I ask for her help to steal a sacred object, she probably won’t refuse."

Wayne stroked his chin, dreaming even before the sky darkened.

Assuming he had obtained the divine power of Moonlight, he could hold on tightly to the thighs of the three Goddesses. Then he took out the Dark Ring from the drawer.

Dean Plank had said that the Dark Ring could help Wayne acquire the belief in darkness. Since The Book of Greed had tasted it, incorporating it into the belief system would not be a problem.

If there was no issue with the Dark Ring, the Death Knight’s Shadowmare would be even easier to control.

In The Book of Greed, the little eyeballs representing Nature and Death sparkled the most, especially Death—it was the brightest of them all.

"Can I really handle hugging the thighs of five Goddesses at once?"

Wayne hesitated. The Silver Cross was about life balance, and the more thighs one hugged, the higher the demand for life, emptiness, and self—especially life. Just thinking about the countless sea of Four Elements made his scalp tingle.

Moreover, after advancing to Silver Mage, The Book of Greed’s appetite had grown even bigger, with a consumption of Four Elements that would be astronomical.

"I can handle it, but the poor folks can’t!"

Wayne heaved a sigh, clenched his teeth, stomped his foot, and decided to let the folks suffer a bit more.

Believe it!

Aiming for the five Goddesses, he would contact Dean Plank someday and have him return the Ancient Silver Coins.

After setting his goal, Wayne then looked at the small beads representing Heaven and Hell. For example, he was just saying, for example, if he were to hug the thighs of five Goddesses all at once, it might lead to an imbalance with too much Yin and not enough Yang. Should he involve a couple of rough old guys to balance it out?

Wayne knew this thought was improper; the folks couldn’t handle it, but he still couldn’t resist the temptation: "It’s all The Book of Greed’s fault, I’ve become more and more greedy."

Wayne suppressed his desires and put off the issue until he got the Ancient Silver Coins to see what his limits were. If he still had room, then he could add Heaven and Hell to the mix later on.

No sooner said than done, Wayne picked up the phone and dialed Dean Plank.

Hello, Schrödinger, how did you know I’ve reached the Silver Stage?

Wayne put the phone back down. He couldn’t make the call. Hefei had been shocked enough by his breakthrough to the Silver Stage, and he didn’t have the same level of trust in Dean Plank.

"I’ll have to wait a little longer, contact him after the gathering on the 14th of next month..."

Wayne massaged his temples. His training couldn’t stop; he couldn’t be idle for this half-month. His practice required consuming vast resources, and he was always creating Elemental Forbidden Zones in Lundan. There was no guarantee that he wouldn’t get a fine for it.

"It’s time to make a move on the folks outside the city!"

Knock, knock, knock!

"Wayne, time to eat!"

Veronica’s energetic voice came from outside the door, and Wayne came back to reality, realizing that he had been thinking for an hour and a half and had perfectly missed the ride today.

"Coming."

Wayne called out and put away the Dark Ring before standing up from his desk: "It shouldn’t be a problem, I’m even prepared to borrow money."

...

After dinner, the tutoring session started on time.

Chris carefully quoted a price, 100,000 Xianling.

"Only 100,000, and you’ve sold yourself?"

Wayne’s eyes widened in disbelief and noticed Chris’s eyes were even wider. He quickly changed his tone, "What I mean is, who are you looking down on, I’m famously generous. You’ve already brought it up—100,000 is too little; add a bit more."

Chris was both amused and exasperated but did not expose the lecher’s ulterior motive, even though she was quite pleased and said, "Wayne, 100,000 is already a lot. The wind might not bring money, but it can blow it away. You’re in cooperation with the Moonlight Church, not me."

"That’s okay, if The Church doesn’t repay, I’ll come to you."

Wayne appeared nonchalant, jokingly saying, "You’re listed as an accountant at the Detective Agency, you get a salary every month. Adding it up, you just about pay off the debt by working for a lifetime, and in the end, you’ll earn enough for a coffin."

Chris’s countenance was messed up by the beads of calculations as she gave Wayne a reproachful look. She repeated the same point as always, the situation was too complicated. Veronica and Veronica were good girls; she did not want to get involved.

Also, she advised Wayne to end this game soon and just pick one to avoid losing even the chance to be friends later for treading on two boats.

After negotiating back and forth, Wayne increased the price, and Chris bargained. Wayne finally settled on an investment of 180,000.

"When I go back to tell the priestess, she’ll prepare an agreement, and then I’ll have to trouble you to go to the library and sign..."

"No need; too many prying eyes there. I’m a Pastor of the Naturalism Church, and being seen would raise suspicions of collusion. You sign on my behalf, and we’re set." Wayne said grandly, and that settled it.

The Moonlight Church was too big; if they defaulted, he had no recourse, but having Chris sign was different. It’s best if they don’t repay—180,000 for a child’s mother was a deal well worth it, as neither the child nor he would go hungry.

Chris opened her mouth, finding the situation more difficult than she had imagined.

After some thought, she agreed that if Wayne’s investment went south, she would keep working to pay off the debt.

After discussing the investment, the two of them started today’s lesson. Wayne, looking at a textbook that leapfrogged from third to seventh grade, which is first-year knowledge, was surprised and glanced at Chris.

You’d be something if you did second-year stuff!

Chris smiled softly but gently, but the mockery in the corners of her eyes still made Wayne blush a little.

Exposed.

The senior knew and still persisted with the tutoring sessions. It must have nothing to do with him being a debtor. From a detective’s standpoint, the least likely is the truth—she’s craving his body!
