A small ring appeared in front of Andrew.
“Animal collar?”
This thing looked like a pet collar. There was even a small bell at the front, which made a clear sound when it was rung.
If one looked carefully, there were many densely packed symbols on this collar.
Andrew felt a headache just by looking at it, as if it was even more difficult than the formation he had learned.
The usage of this thing was very simple.
As long as one trapped a monster, the monster would become Andrew’s pet.
Any command from Andrew would be directly synchronized into the consciousness of the monster.
If it dared to disobey, Andrew could kill it with just a thought.
“It seems to be quite good.”
Andrew smiled. This thing seemed to be pretty handy.
He asked the hotel waiter to send a meal to the room. After eating and drinking his fill, Clayton actually called.
“The news of you killing the Ape King has been spread to the beasts. Their reaction is very strong, especially in South America.
“The ancestor of the Ape King, the purple-gold demonic monkey, has already left the nest. It is very likely to attack you.”
Clayton said solemnly.
The purple-gold demonic monkey was ranked second among all the ape-type demon beasts. It was also very strong among all the demon beasts in the world.
Moreover, the dao shadow was at least seven thousand meters long.
Even if Clayton fought with it, he was not confident of winning.
Most importantly, Clayton could not make a move.
The purple-gold demonic monkey only wanted to settle the score with Andrew. If Clayton made a move rashly, it would turn into a decisive battle between the humans and the demon beasts.
Now, the time was obviously not right.
Especially when the humans had obtained the sword intent grass, they would soon train a large number of experts. When that time came, it would be a good time to fight the demons.
Not only that, according to the news from Alaska, the nine-headed snake in the Arctic seemed to be on the verge of breaking through.
Once it broke through, it would probably become an emperor-level monster.
At that time, even Clayton wouldn’t be his match.
Although Clayton had a domineering personality, he was still the head of the Martial Arts Bureau. He had to put the big picture first.
When Andrew heard this news, he immediately laughed out loud.
Wasn’t this a good thing?
“Director, quickly tell me where the purple-gold demon monkey is now. Didn’t he want to fight with me? I’m going to find him now!
“And I recently had a breakthrough in my strength. I feel that I can beat him up!”
Hearing Andrew’s excited words, Clayton was speechless.
He really didn’t know where this kid got such strong confidence from.
But Andrew was indeed full of confidence.
He had just drawn the beast-taming collar in the lottery. Maybe he could use it on the purple-gold demonic monkey.
The Ape King that he killed was 50 meters tall.
Then his ancestor must be at least 100 meters tall.
Andrew thought about it in his mind.
Riding on a monkey that was more than 100 meters tall seemed quite handsome.
He just wanted to see if the so-called beast taming ring would work.
“Don’t worry. I only said that the purple-gold demonic monkey left its cave, but it doesn’t mean that it will come to find you right away.
“It is not so bold to directly barge into the human territory to take revenge. It might be looking for other helpers.”
Chapter 178 - Max!
Hearing this, Andrew was immediately discouraged.
This purple gold demonic monkey was, after all, a pinnacle demon king. Furthermore, it was so powerful. How could it be afraid of doing things?
His descendant had already been killed, yet it was still not in a hurry to take revenge.
Andrew simply could not understand.
“If the nine-headed demon beast can really achieve its breakthrough, when it becomes an Emperor, the purple-gold demonic monkey will definitely appear!” Clayton said with certainty.
“Alright.”Andrew sighed helplessly.
Then, he could only wait.
Putting down the phone, Andrew began to think of countermeasures.
Right now, the monster race had two big moves.
One was that the nine-headed demon snake was about to break through, and the other was that the purple-gold demon monkey was coming to take revenge on him.
However, the solution to these two things was very simple. Andrew had already thought of a plan in his mind.
As long as he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he could directly run to the Arctic Circle and kill the nine-headed demon snake.
As for the purple-gold demon monkey, he could use the beast taming ring to deal with it, or he could just kill it directly.
Andrew glanced at his system panel.
He was still more than two million away from ten million strengthening points.
He had to speed up and upgrade to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible.
He immediately called Johnson.
“Chief Johnson, I asked you to help me find martial artists who are good at finance. Is there any result?”
“There is. I contacted an old friend named Max.
“Before the recovery of the spiritual energy, he was in business. Our ancestors knew each other, so I am quite familiar with him.
“After the recovery of the spiritual essence, he cultivated to become a warrior, but he still did not give up on business. He is now the fifteenth richest person in the United States, with more than 100 billion in assets. He graduated from Columbia University’s finance department, so he will definitely be able to help you solve your problem.”
“Send me his number, please.”
After hanging up the phone for less than two minutes, he received a text message. It was Max’s phone number.
Andrew was about to contact Max when he suddenly received a call from Howard.
“King Thunderblade, the three of them have arrived in New York City. Do you want to meet them?”
“Sure.”
“Well, we’re quite a distance from where you live now. It’s about an hour’s drive away.”
“No need. Just tell me where you are.”
After asking for their address, Andrew directly flew out into the sky.
With his speed, it would take him almost minutes to get there.
After arriving at the destination, Andrew used his spiritual power to scan and found that there was only one-sixth stage martial artist and two fifth stage martial artists here.
The other aura naturally belonged to Howard. He had now completed a breakthrough in his strength and became a seventh-stage grandmaster. Moreover, there was a sharp sword intent contained within his aura.
It was actually three who wanted to buy the sword intent grass?
Andrew descended from the sky and entered their residence.
The martial strength of these three people was not strong. It was within Andrew’s expectations.
They had actually put all their attention on business. If they did not wholeheartedly practice martial arts, it would naturally be more difficult than other martial artists. It was already not easy for them to obtain their achievements today.
After walking in, the few rich men all made a self-introduction.
When the third man introduced himself, Andrew’s eyes lit up.
“Hello, King Thunderblade. I am the boss of Seattle Materials Co., Ltd. My name is Max.”
Andrew walked over warmly and shook hands with him.
“I have heard of your name, Max. You are very talented in the business.”
When Max heard that the famous King Thunderblade had heard of him, he was very excit
ed.
He nodded politely and said, “King Thunderblade is the talented one. If there’s anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know.”
Andrew nodded.
“Let’s not talk about the future. There’s something you can help me with now.”
“Right now?”
Max was stunned.
“Boss Max, you should know that I am very rich now. I want to use the money in my hands as a loan. So, I need someone to help me conduct a credit and financial evaluation of all the fighters. Are you qualified for this position?”
When Max heard this idea, an interesting expression appeared on his face.
This matter seemed to be quite intriguing.
Howard poked his head over and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Andrew, are you trying to be a usurer?”
“Bullsh*t.”
Andrew cursed loudly and then kicked Howard out.
“I just want to use the funds in my hands to benefit all the warriors in the world. How can you say that I am a usurer?”
Andrew waved his hand.
“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s complete the transaction first.”
The three bosses each took out a bank card.
Inside was 50 billion dollars.
After they handed the bank cards to Andrew, Andrew didn’t do any checking and directly stuffed it into his pocket.
He believed that no one in the entire United States would dare to trick him.
Unless this person didn’t want to live anymore.
After receiving the money, Andrew took out three blades of sword intent grass and handed them to the three warriors.
After receiving the stalks, their hands were trembling, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
Although they had chosen the path of business, they were also warriors and hoped that their strength could be improved.
And the blades of sword intent grass gave them this opportunity.
Andrew pulled Howard and Max on the side and found a quiet room alone.
Andrew sat on the sofa and took a sip of coffee.
He smiled and said, “I set the price of the sword intent grass at 50 billion US dollars. This price is very high, but it is worth it.”
Max nodded.
50 billion US dollars was indeed a lot, but to be able to buy such a treasure was indeed not a loss.
“I want to benefit all the warriors, but most of the warriors can’t afford so much money at once. These warriors are all quite powerful. As long as they enter the wilderness to kill demonic beasts, selling the materials obtained is also a big harvest. Max, you are in this business, so you should know better than me.”
Max nodded.
As long as a warrior of the sixth grade entered the wilderness, four kills could bring in millions or even tens of millions in a week.
But it was a huge risk.
“The reason why these warriors can not save money is that practicing martial arts is also a huge expense.”
Max nodded repeatedly. It had to be said that every word Andrew said was reasonable.
“Last time, I asked Clayton. Among the martial artists who have reached the seventh rank grandmaster realm, there are at least three hundred people who use swords. However, the news of the sword intent grass has been made public for a few days. Yet none of these people found me directly.”
At this point, Howard seemed to be hesitant to speak.
“Howard, what do you want to say?” Andrew noticed his strange behavior.
“King Thunderblade… They didn’t look for you directly because the phone number you left in the forum was wrong, so they couldn’t contact you.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Andrew hurriedly took out his phone and changed the phone number to the correct one.
Then, he kicked Howard away.
This guy actually dared to undermine him here.
Chapter 179 - 10% Interest!
Max understood what Andrew meant.
“You want to lend money to these warriors who can’t afford the sword intent grass so that they have enough money to buy the sword intent grass?”
Andrew nodded. That was exactly what he meant.
“This is indeed a good thing. If these warriors can buy the sword intent grass, their strength will be greatly improved. It is also a great joy for the entire human camp.
“But…”
As a professional in the financial field, Max quickly thought of the inappropriate part.
“Giving loans is not difficult. After all, Mr. Andrew has a large amount of money here. If Director Clayton is willing to help, we can get a large amount of information about the warriors. It is not difficult to assess their assets and credit.
“The only problem is that the warrior is a very dangerous profession. In order to pay back the money, these warriors must enter the wilderness to kill monsters and earn money. This is a very dangerous thing.
“If they die in the wilderness, then no one will continue to repay the loans. If It’s a high-intensity battle, I think at least one-tenth of these warriors will die in battle!”
It was not that Andrew had not thought about Max’s question.
He waved his hand nonchalantly.
“It is a good thing to die fighting a demon beast. If they die in the process of killing four demon beasts, then it is considered to be a sacrifice for their country, a heroic sacrifice! I don’t need them to repay this loan!”
Hearing Andrew’s words, Max was filled with respect.
Andrew’s words were really too good.
He had reached such a level of cultivation at such a young age, and he even had such high awareness.
There were very few people that Max admired in his life.
Andrew was definitely one of them.
“Then, since we want to give loans, we have to set an interest rate.
“The bank’s interest rate is 4%, which means that for every loan of 10 billion, we have to repay an additional 400 million in interest a year.”
After Andrew heard this, he nodded affirmatively.
“Then our interest rate will be set at 10%. After all, I, King Thunderblade, can not accept everyone’s usury.”
Hearing Andrew’s words, Howard’s eyes almost popped out.
10% interest? You actually said that this was not usury?
This interest rate was twice that of the bank.
For every 10 billion loan, you needed to repay an additional 1 billion a year.
If someone borrowed all the money needed to buy the sword intent grass, then it would be a loan of 50 billion. After a year, you would have to repay 55 billion.
This repayment pressure was really great.
“For the assessment of a fighter’s credit and assets, I can use Mr. Howard’s forum database.
“You can also harass the martial arts bureau at any time and ask them to help you check some data. It’s fine,” Andrew said indifferently.
Could it be that that guy Clayton would refuse him?
After explaining everything, Andrew took out two seventh-grade demon cores from his storage space and placed them on the table.
“This is the reward for the two of you. If you do well this time, there will be a double reward.”
Howard and Max’s eyes lit up.
This reward could be said to be quite generous.
Seventh-grade demon cores were hard to buy on the market, and the price was abnormally high.
Moreover, the quality of the top-grade demon cores Andrew took out was excellent. It was a good material for forging divine weapons.
Max was now a sixth-grade warrior. After consuming the sword intent grass, he was confident of breaking through to the seventh grade.
As for Howard, he had just broken through to the seventh-grade grandmaster realm a few days ago.
Both of them needed divine weapons.
The demon core in front of them was a good material for forging divine weapons.
“Thank you, King Thund
erblade!”
Both of them bowed deeply to Andrew.
Because Andrew’s reward was already much higher than normal.
The reason why this matter could be done was because of Andrew’s large amount of funds and his reputation as King Thunderblade.
..
Washington.
An eighth-grade Golden Body realm martial artist sat on the sofa with a gloomy face.
His strength was not bad. He was ranked in the top 40 on the eighth-rank list, and the weapon he used happened to be a sword.
He really wanted to buy a blade of sword intent grass.
But the only thing that troubled him was money.
His entire wealth was only around 30 billion.
In the past few days, he had sold a lot of materials that he had previously treasured. Now, he had barely managed to raise 40 billion.
He was still short of 10 billion to buy sword intent grass.
In the past few days, Donald had asked all his friends to lend him some money.
But now, everyone was short of money. Even the best of friends would find it difficult to give 10 billion.
The banks also did not provide loan services.
In the country, the control of funds was very strict.
“Am I going to miss this opportunity?”
Donald sat on the sofa in great pain.
He knew that if he could obtain the sword intent grass, there was a very high chance that he could breakthrough to become a ninth-grade martial artist.
In the future, he might even be able to advance to become a supreme expert.
This was the goal he had pursued all his life.
He suddenly stood up and looked at his wife, who was sitting beside him.
“Wife, I can enter the wilderness to hunt demon beasts! In ten days, if I go all out, I can get at least five billion worth of demon beast materials!
“The remaining five billion, we’ll sell the house and borrow some money from my good friend. There should be some hope of gathering fifty billion.”
However, when he said this, his eyes glanced at his wife’s slightly bulging belly.
His wife was already four months pregnant.
Donald’s hands trembled slightly.
He wasn’t afraid of death.
