Chapter 50 The Debt of 6 Faris
The two left Babel Tower Square and returned to the Star Garden, walking silently along the quiet and secluded path.
Roy couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and moved closer. "Miss Liu, you fought so beautifully just now! That kind of bastard should never be let go. My admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending..."
After being showered with praise by Roy, even Liu, with her usually composed demeanor, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and a blush flashed across her cool little face.
Under the bright moonlight, it appeared briefly, thankfully Roy had good eyesight, and that damned XP of his!
"You're welcome, you... are not bad either."
Ryu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, a look of reminiscence appearing deep in her sky-blue eyes. If Alyssa and the others were still here, they certainly wouldn't have stood idly by when they saw the Apollo Familia hunting down a girl.
However, she did not step forward immediately.
She only intervened when she saw Roy surrounded. Her belief in "justice" had wavered. Can a broken mirror be mended?
The fight with Apollo's clan was just a minor incident for the two of them, and they forgot about it as soon as they turned their backs.
Would the Apollo Familia dare to cause trouble? Ryu beat up Hyacinthus in front of hundreds of people, and none of the Hyacinthus's Familia members dared to step forward to stop him.
When the two returned to the Court of Stars.
But then they witnessed an unexpected scene. Of course, it wasn't the Apollo Familia, but rather the guild employee Remer.
"Swift Wind, Mr. Roy."
Ramel stood hesitating at the door. When he saw the two return, he looked at them as if they were his saviors and rushed to greet them.
Roy and Ryu exchanged a glance. They had just brutally beaten up the Apollo Familia less than half an hour ago. Even if the other party complained, the guild's reaction wouldn't be that quick.
It's something else!
"What's wrong, Mr. Remer?" Roy asked.
"Mr. Roy, Gale, take a look at this." Remer handed a parchment to Roy with a fawning smile on his face.
Roy frowned, took the parchment, and Remer's smile seemed strangely familiar to him.
When we opened the parchment scroll...
Roy's eyes widened. He finally remembered where he had seen Raymer's smile before—the expression of a bank employee in his past life when he went to collect money from a deadbeat.
These days, the one who owes money is the boss!
……
An emergency meeting of the Astrea clan!
With all the magic lamps turned on, illuminating the entire spacious hall, there was no point in saving this little bit of money now.
Roy tossed the parchment onto the table. "Goddess Astraea, what's going on here?"
A doting smile appeared on Astraea's flawless face. "You have to ask me something so simple. Roy still seems to be a child."
Roy's face darkened. You think he's a kid? Okay, just looking at his age, compared to the gods who have lived in the heavens for hundreds of millions of years, or even longer, even though he has lived two lives, he is indeed just a little kid.
However, this has nothing to do with age.
The first step in plotting against the Rudra Familia was to offer a bounty of 80 million Fali. That 80 million Fali was obtained by Goddess Astraea by mortgaging the Star Garden and all the Familia's assets to the guild.
It was written word by word on the parchment scroll, with both the personal seal of the goddess Astraea and the seal of her kin on it; there was no way it could have been forged.
Roy's gaze shifted to Ryu.
Ryu sighed softly. When Roy handed her the receipt, she saw the Astrea Familia seal on it and had a vague idea of what was going on.
They chased after the Rudra Familia with Alisha and others, reaching the thirtieth floor of the underground city.
It's actually quite similar to an "expedition".
Before going down, they spent almost all of their clan's stored fabulous money on purchasing medicines and armor, maintaining weapons, and various other supplies.
The complete annihilation of Alexie and her team meant that the money was wasted, and they didn't recoup any of their costs.
Roy brought Liu back to the Star Garden with her half-hearted consent, and saw that many of the magic stones for the living facilities had been used up, but Goddess Astraea had not replaced them.
They were truly destitute!
At that time, Ryu was consumed by the fire of revenge, wanting nothing more than to annihilate the Rudra clan, even if it meant his own life.
Before the war game, the Orario adventurers killed 183 members of the Rudra Familia, as well as three mercenary groups and eight merchant guilds that colluded with the Rudra Familia.
They took away nearly 60 million fali.
Unlike ordinary clans, the Rudra clan had no fixed assets in Orario. When the gods sent them back to the heavens, all members were wiped out.
As for those people's equipment left in the dungeon, Ryu wouldn't take it, and Roy wouldn't even look at it; most of it has already been picked up by adventurers.
In the war game, aside from wiping out the enemy team, Roy and Liu didn't capture a single Fali.
The debt of 60 million Faris has truly fallen on their shoulders. Remer has come to collect the debt, and if they cannot repay it, the Star Court will be taken back by the guild.
"Is it too late for me to leave the group now?"
Roy chuckled and said, "Sixty million Fali! Even he wouldn't dare burn that much for his ancestral rites."
"Okay, Ryu and I won't blame you."
Goddess Astraea said sadly, "Without this home, Ryu and I, this lonely god and his family, will also be left to wander the streets."
As she spoke, the goddess's cherry-like lips were tightly pursed, and crystal-clear tears welled up in her phoenix eyes, exuding a captivating charm that evoked pity in me.
The most terrifying tactics a woman can use are crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. She doesn't even need the latter two; just her crying is enough to send chills down Roy's spine.
And this isn't just any woman, she's a goddess!
The goddess Astraea covered her face and wept.
Roy, who was staring intently at her, keenly caught a glimpse of cunning in the depths of her eyes.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Ryu's mind went blank, completely oblivious to the fact that she had caused Lady Astrea to bear such a heavy debt...
Ryu said earnestly, "Lady Astraea, I will repay this money as soon as possible!"
"Ryu, don't worry, we'll pay it back slowly. No matter how long it takes, I'll be with you." Goddess Astraea regained her usual dignified elegance, revealing a gentle smile, and comforted Ryu, the "culprit."
This attitude only made the single-minded Ryu feel even more guilty. She made up her mind that she had to pay off the debt as soon as possible. If Lady Astraea ended up on the streets, how could she face Alyssie?
The guild didn't dare to push too hard and gave them a six-month repayment period with very low interest.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone the Astrea Familia, who are now adrift in hardship.
If Roy and Ryu secretly run away with the goddess Astrea, the guild will be devastated. They've already spent all their money, and even if they acquire the Star Court, they might not be able to recoup their investment.
But the righteous Astrea Familia would never do such a thing, the guild staff prayed silently.
