#759. Let’s start.

collapse of the world economy.

Bankruptcy of the Seven Dragon Group.

Either way.

It was a funny joke that, when told in front of others, was a good thing to laugh at.

But right now.

None of the six princesses gathered here denied that fact.

because everyone knew

As Maya pointed out.

Also, if the Golden Lord’s plan is realized, the Seven Dragons will inevitably collapse.

And…

[I want to know how likely it is to stop Lee Qing-wi.]

“It’s as I already said.”

[…is that impossible?]

“Yes. It’s almost impossible to block the Golden Lord’s attack without Charlotte.”

Is it because I didn’t expect it in the first place?

Li Qingyu calmly nodded at Rose’s muttering, which felt more calm than disappointment.

A fallen spirit that has been taken over by a virus.

Funds raised by the World Federation.

The Golden Lord’s attack using the two was fatal to the Seven Dragons.

To the extent that it would have been difficult to stop even with Charlotte.

Not to mention, now that he couldn’t access the World Peace System of the Player Association, the possibility was infinitely low.

“I don’t know if the virus created by the golden lord can be removed…” [

Oh, that’s impossible.]

Yekathrice flatly denied the possibility that there might be one.

[I’m still analyzing it because it’s been a while since Rampant Shock arrived, but this virus wasn’t created in a normal way.] [Is it a

skill ?]

[Yes, it’s probably a unique skill.]

You mean?”

[At least for me.]

[There’s nothing special about genius. I return the business card.]

[Right? After all, I am more suited to be a beloved sister and a bride than a genius, right?]

[…]

Unlike Ainsha, who turns away from Yekathrice’s assertion with an expressionless face.

The other princesses had even heavier expressions.

As long as even Yekatrice, the greatest genius of the Seven Dragons and at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, declared that there was no way to solve the virus.

It meant that it was impossible to stop the Golden Lord with human technology.

[There are only two ways left after all.]

[Either spend as much time as possible by pouring money and manpower into it…]

“…They’ll siphon off the funds on the premise that they’ll go bankrupt.”

The wealth of the Seven Dragons is enormous.

Even if only part of it is stolen, the amount is enormous.

Even if it wasn’t comparable to now, I was able to prepare any amount of money for a comeback.

Especially since they are accustomed to dealing with illegal funds since the days when they were called the Demonic Cult.

“Does anyone agree with that method?”

knowing that fact.

Li Qingyu asked for confirmation.

It was strategically right to commit to a later date rather than pouring everything into a fight that couldn’t be won anyway.

No, on the contrary, it could be said that it was a wiser choice.

But…

[Don’t ask trivial things, Li Qingyu. There’s no way any of us would be fools to make such a choice, right?]

To Yekathrice, who giggled.

Hasneti quietly agreed.

[There are times when you need to retreat, but there are times when you have to fight even if you can’t win.]

[I think so too. Putting everything else aside, if we don’t stop the golden lord now, the whole world will be in great chaos.]

Hasneti says that if the Seven Dragons group collapses, the world’s hegemony may be taken away by the Young Young World Federation.

Rose says that if the global economy collapses, there will be countless deaths from starvation and people’s livelihoods will be ruined.

so like two people.

So that’s a very reasonable statement.

[I can’t see the future now. So I don’t know which one is better.]

Unlike those two princesses.

Ainsha couldn’t justify it.

Because a prophet who couldn’t prophesy was such a being.

Even so, with firm faith in those transparent eyes, she spoke without hesitation.

[But I believe Lee. So I do my best as a bride.]

They cannot stop the plan of the golden lord.

But Limon would surely find a way.

Maia lightly snorted while everyone else fell silent at the expressionless girl’s words.

[After all, the answer seems to have been decided from the beginning.]

“…I see.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

From the point of becoming Limon’s bride.

Anyway, they had no choice.

Even if things went wrong and I lost everything, it was better than losing his trust.

“Then let’s check it one last time.”

So with everyone’s consent.

Li Qingyu opened his mouth.

“Yekatrice.”

[System preparation OK. It’s prepared in a hurry, so it’s a bit poor, but it’s okay to use it right away.]

“Ainsha.”

[All members of the clan are ready. Trust your senses and leave it up to you.]

“Hasnetty.”

[Apopis’ mercenary troops have already been dispatched to the Player Association branches around the world. Any disturbance can be quelled immediately.]

“Rose.”

[Don’t worry about market manipulation through local hoarding. We can transport supplies anywhere in the world in 5 minutes.]

“Mia.”

[No one will collapse even if they don’t sleep for at least ten days.]

The silver dragon clan is a system engineer.

The White Dragon Clan is an Operator.

The Red Dragon Clan responded with force.

The Blue Dragon Clan provides emergency transportation.

The green dragon clan is manpower management.

After confirming that each clan has completed their deployment as discussed beforehand.

He is the head of the Black Dragon clan, who is in charge of the emergency response plan to stop the Golden Lord, the Gordian Knot (Γόρδιος δεσμός).

The best bookkeeper of the Seven Dragons smiled.

“Then let’s start the counterattack.”

* * *

A high-rise skyscraper.

Standing by the window on the top floor.

The old man was looking out the window.

In a way, it’s like looking at Wall Street full of skyscrapers.

If you look at it differently, it’s just like looking at your own reflection in the window.

It was just when he was rolling only silver coins between his fingers in still silence.

“I have an inspiration problem.”

A girl with brown skin and glasses.

Even at the words of the somersault fox, he was not shaken.

Rather, she just asked calmly, as if she knew what to say.

“Has the Seven Dragons started responding?”

“It’s not just about responding.”

In the first place, I didn’t expect that the Seven Dragons would just let go.

That’s why I tried to execute the plan after infecting as many spirits as possible so that they could swarm at once without any time to respond.

So there was no reason to be surprised now.

nonetheless at this moment.

The reason why the somersault fox hardened his face was because of how the Seven Dragons were responding.

“Instead of defending the price of dungeon by-products and items, they are attacking our business and the stock market with all their might.”

“…You mean fighting in the mud?”

“Attack is the best defense.”

“You’re evil.”

The golden lord shook his head.

The Midas Guild has more business than any other guild in the world.

In fact, from auctions to management, franchise, manufacturing, agriculture and fisheries, etc.

Unlike the Seven Dragon Group, which each focused on a specific field, the Midas Guild had entered all fields of business that could make money.

In the professional field, it is said that it cannot compete with the Seven Dragons.

And that it is useful to utilize the various skills of the players.

result of the combination of the two.

The expansion of the octopus-eating business was accomplished.

Even if you can’t be the best, you can be the best in every field.

That’s why Midas was the only one who was able to obtain financial power comparable to the Seven Dragons, but the foundations of each business were not as strong as the Seven Dragons.

Of course, all businesses were at the level of large corporations.

But even large corporations have their own way.

What if the Seven Dragons decided to step out?

It could be seen that it was only a matter of time before the Midas business collapsed.

“If we take out the funds right away and distribute them to each business, we can defend ourselves to some extent, but…”

“The World Peace Plan will be delayed that much.”

“Honestly, even now it’s not enough.”

The somersault fox clicked his tongue.

He was attacking the player association’s bubble system by taking control of the fallen spirits.

However, even if it was a bubble, an enormous amount of money was needed to break the market price of steel-hard dungeon by-products.

To the point where I felt it was lacking even though I brought in the budget of the World Federation.

But what if the funds were withdrawn?

At least a month, at worst, for several months, the Last War project would be disrupted.

Especially since we have already invested a lot of money in stocks and real estate in preparation for an economic collapse.

“What are you going to do? If the virus spreads more anyway, I can forcefully break the system.”

Even if it takes some time, wait for the virus to spread while protecting the business, and then hit it all at once.

Or, ignore the counterattack of the Seven Dragons and go ahead with the plan.

Leave her asking for opinions.

At the end of fiddling with silver coins while keeping my eyes fixed outside the window.

The Golden Lord opened his mouth.

“You can give up all other businesses. Instead, keep as much as the stock market.”

“…is that okay?”

“Does not matter. After all, if this plan succeeds, such a business will be worthless.”

“If we fail instead, we will be left behind, too?”

As long as the business is safe, it is possible to make a comeback even if this plan fails, even if it suffers great losses.

But what if you lost all your business to the attack of the Seven Dragons and lost your money invested in the stock market?

Rather, they go bankrupt.

Truly an all-or-nothing.

Not a small company either.

It was something that a sane person would never have done in that it could lose a trillion units of assets, but…

“There is no risk-free investment in the world. There is only a choice between accepting it and taking on the challenge or stopping and being complacent.”

If successful, the wealth of the whole world.

If you fail, only one guild.

Returns and risks are so clear, so why not take a little risk?

The monarch who sold the by-products of the dungeon and sold the money he collected was called stock investment, and achieved enormous wealth comparable to the Seven Dragons.

In other words, making such reckless investments.

No matter how many times I’ve failed.

nonetheless succeeded in the end.

At the end of frowning at the world’s best investor and his own grandfather.

she opened her mouth.

“okay. Still, as long as we defend the stock market, the plan will be delayed.”

“How much?”

“Well, about a few days?”

“To shorten it as much as possible.”

“Give me more money and say that.”

While the somersault fox grumbles, he takes out his smartphone and runs the game.

The golden lord was deep in thought as he rolled a silver coin.

In the end, nothing changes.

Since the Last War Project has begun, the Seven Dragons have no way to stop it.

With only one exception.

I won’t be able to get in the way of this.

Only the golden princess declared by the returning monarch.

And considering his unique skill, there was no need to worry about her.

‘It must be prepared just in case.’

nevertheless.

The Golden Lord thought.

How to prevent an emergency.

Even if there is the same risk, speculation and investment are different.

Even if it was a star’s wisdom, I couldn’t blindly believe in a prophecy that hadn’t come true yet.

So…

…on the top floor where they were.

In-young, who was lying on the roof of a skyscraper, quietly removed her ear from the floor.

The Seven Dragon Group of the Seven Dragons.

World Federation including Midas.

Conglomerates who dominate the world’s wealth and the only organization that can compare with them in terms of financial power.

The economic war that would drive their whole world into chaos was about to begin.
