Chapter 144 Divine Wine Auction
The half-dwarf leader, whose disguise had been ripped off by Roy, turned pale and changed the subject.
Roy's sharp shout sealed his fate, "The ingredients for brewing the divine wine were purchased with everyone's money. It was a labor of love from the god Soma. You're nothing but a parasite sucking their blood!"
"roll!"
Roy's final slam was like a heavy hammer blow to his opponent. The half-dwarf leader trembled. Without everyone's support, he dared not fight Roy head-on and left the Soma Familia's camp in a shaky manner.
His family's sacred wine and assets were confiscated by Roy's men.
"Who else?"
Roy's sharp gaze swept over everyone.
Of the thousands of members of the vast Soma clan, not a single one dared to meet Roy's gaze; they all lowered their heads.
Watching Roy suppress the crowd, Lily's face was filled with admiration, her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars. Roy looked even more handsome than he had that night.
The cadres exchanged glances. Roy was more troublesome than they had imagined; only the final solution remained.
There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
The cadres, along with hundreds of members, said in unison, "Lord Somo, please convert us to a different religion."
Converting to another religion requires the permission of the Lord God; otherwise, they would have run away long ago, instead of waiting until now.
Soma and Lily's expressions changed. These people weren't exactly outstanding, but they were among the best of the worst. Among a bunch of drunkards, these people were considered quite good. If they all ran away, the entire clan would be instantly paralyzed!
This was something the two of them tried their best to avoid.
Roy dashed out like a tiger charging into a flock of small sheep.
"You dare to lay a hand on me, you nascent seeds of justice!"
The officers looked grim and drew their weapons; some of them were Level 2 adventurers.
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
Several sharp sword beams attacked, but Roy's expression remained unchanged. Golden lightning surged from his hands, materializing into gloves of near-high quality.
With a wave of his hand, Roy swatted away the sword blades and charged towards the officers, raining down punches on them like a storm.
Boom!!
Countless afterimages flashed as Roy's fists struck them, producing dull thuds as each punch sent one of them flying.
Just ten seconds later, several executives of the Soma clan, along with their confidants, a dozen or so people, were easily defeated by Roy, and the riot was instantly suppressed.
Roy said coldly, "Do you think the Soma Familia can come and go as they please?"
Wherever Roy's gaze fell, everyone was startled and stepped back, leaving a large open space for Roy.
Everyone seemed to see Roy again that night, like a god of war, suppressing them all.
Only then did they understand.
Roy's amicable stance was based on the premise that they wouldn't overturn the table. Trying to lead hundreds of elites away from the clan undoubtedly crossed Roy's bottom line.
"This is an investigation. I advise everyone not to hide anything. Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely!" Roy said in a chilling tone.
During the Chanis period, most of the clan members were victims, but there were also a few who reaped huge profits. Roy made them return all the benefits they had gained, with interest!
In any other world, such a situation of one person suppressing thousands of people would be impossible.
However, in Orario, Soma could strip these people of their favors in the blink of an eye.
Even if the number of Muggles increased tenfold, Roy could still cut them down like butter, showing them what it meant to "kill without blinking an eye"!
With the extremely powerful Roy in charge, the old hands of the Soma Familia dared not cause any more trouble.
One by one, they honestly confessed their own problems.
In less than three days, the number of Soma's clan members dropped from more than 6,000 to 320.
Most of the members were exiled, while a small number of the most wicked were thrown into the Ganesha's prison.
Those who survived were all people who had never killed anyone and had a clean record. It wasn't that these people didn't want to do evil, but that they hadn't had the chance to do evil yet.
Under Chanis's control, these people were marginalized and could only do jobs like guarding. They had to queue up to drink the sacred wine, and money alone was not enough.
Now, a new emperor brings a new court.
With Lily and Roy taking on the positions of captain and vice-captain, these people have finally made it through the tough times.
But everyone understood that the ten-year-old little girl was merely a powerless Zhou emperor, while Roy, the vice-captain, was the true ruler of the Soma Familia.
Below the supreme god, above all others!
Roy had barely enjoyed his victory over the Soma clan for three minutes when another problem arose: dozens of liquor distributors.
"Doraemon, what should we do?"
Lily ran over for help, looking pitifully at Roy. Those merchants had become shrewd; they specifically requested the original Divine Wine, not the defective product from before.
The cooperation agreement signed by both parties was for the "divine wine," but no one had ever tasted the original version before. Chanis could have fooled the other party with a defective product, but now that it has been exposed, it is no longer possible to do so.
Thanks to the stored divine wine, they can still supply it in the short term, but with the number of their relatives decreasing sharply and everything in ruins, they will definitely run out of stock within two months and have to pay huge compensation.
Roy laughed, "We'll just have to pay them back, what else can we do?"
Hearing Roy's relaxed tone, Lily felt as if she had been shot in the heart; this meant bankruptcy.
Even with the addition of Chanis's slush fund and the assets confiscated from the officials' homes, the family's finances would be depleted quickly after paying this penalty.
Roy asked, "Lily, 'People exist, the land perishes; people exist, the land survives.' Do you know what that means?"
Lily shook her head.
Roy explained, "As long as people are alive, even if they lose the land, they can get it back sooner or later."
Lily looked thoughtful.
Roy, with a hint of ambiguity, continued, "What do you think is 'human' and 'land' to the Soma Familia right now?"
Lily's eyes lit up, and she replied, "Money is the earth, and divine wine and the members of the clan are people!"
Roy nodded, "This young man is teachable."
The Dwarfs are physically weaker than humans. Precisely because they are the weakest race by nature, the Dwarfs are good at thinking and using strategy. The most famous of them is Finn, the "hero" of the Loki Familia.
In Roy's opinion, Lily's talent was no less than Finn's. In the original timeline, she relied on her intelligence and transformation magic to struggle at the bottom for several years, stealing adventurers' equipment countless times without ever failing.
Once such a person encounters an opportunity, they will soar to great heights, rising to immense heights.
Roy said meaningfully, "Lily, the clan's cash and assets are indeed gone, but don't forget, the divine wine we have is still intact."
A thought flashed through Lily's mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it. She asked疑惑地问道, "Lord Roy, what do you mean?"
"Let's hold a divine wine auction!" Roy didn't keep them in suspense, a sinister smile spreading across his face. He was determined to squeeze every last drop of wealth out of the gods of Orario.
