Chapter 673: Chapter 667: Crush You with Money
“Heh, I am glad I didn’t leave anything with you back then. Otherwise, my current situation wouldn’t have changed, and I would have handed you something for nothing. Cut the crap, say what you have to say.” Finn Lewis sneered.
“Your family is still on that primitive planet, right? If you don’t want them to get hurt, I suggest you make your choice wisely, or you know what the consequences will be.” The middle-aged man threatened bluntly, without wasting words.
“Do you know what happened to the last person who threatened my family?” Finn’s expression suddenly turned icy, as he thought of a possibility. These people might not hurt him directly, but they could dispatch a ship to capture his family.
“Your Highness, there is no need to worry about his threat. According to the information I have gathered, the Inspection Bureau has enhanced the peripheral protection of your domain since you inherited it. Currently, they have sent a fleet to protect your territory. It is nearly impossible for anyone trying to enter your territory to escape the surveillance of the Inspection Bureau. The person who wants to kill you wouldn’t resort to such measures if this weren’t the case. Remember, be it a royal family or a noble family, anyone collaborating with pirates will automatically forfeit all their rights in the Federal if they are caught.” Luna Starfield’s voice suddenly echoed in Finn’s ears.
Hearing Luna’s voice, Finn paused for a moment before he was reassured, “Well, since Your Highness is so confident, why not seek me for trouble? Isn’t Your Highness very rich? Why don’t you offer a reward to see who will respond to Your Highness’s call and come to your rescue?” The middle-aged man chuckled, his gaze fixed on Finn.
With Luna’s explanation, Finn felt more at ease. Hearing the man’s words, he responded with a smile, “Not a bad point. Jasmine Davis, please log onto the Mercenary Association’s website. I will offer a 100 billion star credit bounty for the lives of the Yinsha and Demon Pirates. Whoever manages to defeat them will earn these credits.”
As Finn spoke, the entire bridge fell silent. Everyone sucked in a breath at the mention of the astronomical 100 billion star credits! To put things into perspective, Caleb Shaw sold a second-tier interstellar warship for 80 million credits. A fully equipped warship was priced at 100 million credits, meaning 100 billion credits could buy 1000 of such warships!
Even the first and second fleets of the Inspection Bureau weren’t worth that much! It was an insane amount! No one expected Finn to possess such enormous wealth. The people aboard the Peach Blossom were just as astounded as those on the enemy’s ship were.
The middle-aged man paused, looking startled. He felt things were going off the rails. He had no idea that Finn had such a fortune! Where did his wealth come from? Wasn’t he from a primitive planet? The middle-aged man couldn’t believe the informant behind him would provide false information.
But if he indeed came from a primitive planet, from where did he acquire such riches? If star credits were so easy to obtain, they wouldn’t have held such high value. But how could Finn offer a staggering 100 billion star credits?
“100 billion is too much, they’re not worth 100 billion. Even if I offer them 10 billion star credits, those large-sized mercenary groups would already dare to bite them. If ten or so large-sized mercenary groups band together, they could easily take them down.” Jasmine spoke impulsively.
“You’re wrong, 10 billion won’t drive people crazy, but 100 billion will.” Finn turned to look at the middle-aged man, scoffing, “I hope you can escape from this. Luna, you can cut off the communication. Let’s see who dies first.”
After he spoke, Luna promptly cut off the communication. Finn immediately turned to Jasmine, “He did remind me of something, although I don’t know how far those mercenary groups are from here, putting some pressure on them will undoubtedly benefit us.”
“You’re not seriously going to pay 100 billion, are you? Do you even have that much??” Jasmine asked, her eyes wide in disbelief. She thought Finn was joking. Hadn’t he cut off the communication so quickly?
“Joking? I never joke when I speak. Luna, post a task on the Mercenary Association’s website right now. 100 billion star credits for the lives of the Yinsha and Demon pirates. Anyone who can destroy their fleets and bases will get the money. Of course, if they only destroy the bases and not the fleets, they only get one-third of the amount. You can decide on the specific allocation.” Finn spoke coldly.
Since you reminded me, I’ll let you see what a vast amount of money can do! As Finn spoke, Luna executed his order without hesitation.
A sense of awe gripped everyone in the control room as they faced Finn, including Yuka Young who sat nearby.
All mercenaries usually register with the Mercenary Association. Today seemed destined to be a crazy day in the association’s history. Suddenly, everyone there was jolted by a sharp alarm. But rather than causing dread, it caused a stir. The alarm signaled the appearance of a nine-star level task, the highest rank. Nine-star tasks needed colossal rewards and rarely appeared. The last time such a task appeared was almost one hundred thousand years ago!
This was legendary, but the legend had come to life. Everyone frantically clicked on their wrist-worn devices, and when they pulled up the task, they were flabbergasted. The reward for the task was a whopping 100 billion star credits! They were stunned by the amount!
Everyone’s breathing became rougher, and some even fainted due to the shock. But most people were speechless at the sight of the reward. What type of mission needed this astronomical sum? How difficult would it be to warrant 100 billion star credits?
