Chapter 233: A World Hurt Only by the Casino
Karoso stood up, "At first, Canglang Province was working on several projects at the same time. This Emperor Goufuh is actually a failure because we were trying to create a card. This Emperor Goufuh really had that ability, and as we worked on it, it ended up being made."
"Canglang Province…" The old Druid’s eyes sparkled with interest.
Many people were relieved to hear it was a creation from the whole Canglang Province, and their previous bad thoughts faded away.
Not everyone fears the army of Canglang Province. If this card is almost successful, the world could really see a war unfold around Canglang Province. Nature Mages would definitely fight hard to protect it, while other groups wanting to stay low, like the Wizard Association, might desperately try to destroy it.
But now, this Emperor Goufuh is already a finished product, and it seems that Karoso is not the only one who has it, which makes a big difference.
Easley looked thoughtful.
He had buried many secret stakes in Canglang Province, especially in the card-making team, where he also had spies.
Whether before the card appeared or before the Emperor Goufuh was made, if there was even a hint of it, and then it was released, Canglang Province would become the target of many, then be aimed at, and finally have to rely on the Presea Empire, officially becoming a province of the empire.
But!
It was like seeing a ghost; the two cards from Canglang Province appeared without any warning, as if they just popped out of thin air.
Easley had to reevaluate Canglang Province; it seemed that its strength was greater than he had imagined.
Before, he thought he could either get his loan back from the Duke or kill Grand Duke Osiris, replace him with someone he could control, repay the debt, and even join the empire to increase his chances for the throne.
Now… he had to take it seriously.
To keep the development of these two cards so secret, there must be unknown power behind Osiris, perhaps even a force beyond Canglang Province.
Who was really standing behind him?
Kingdom of Persia? They don’t deserve it!
Iberia? That’s also an industrial powerhouse, but they haven’t performed so impressively in card production…
Did Osiris really step into the spotlight, or did he make a great sacrifice to gain the rights to issue these two cards, just to increase the prestige of Canglang Province?
Easley began to imagine.
He probably wouldn’t have guessed in a million years that a group of people who seek no reward helped Canglang Province.
Easley’s gaze fell on Saaya, "Do you know about this?"
"I… don’t really get involved with card research." Saaya wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Damn it, I can’t believe I didn’t know about such a big thing!
He no longer dared to disturb Karoso, feeling that what Karoso was doing now was under his father’s instructions.
Saaya felt both hate and fear towards Osiris.
Seeing Karoso steal the spotlight made Saaya grind his teeth even more.
If my father gave me this task, I could do it better!
"Does Canglang Province sell this card?" a Nature Mage said, "I will buy it for any price!"
"Yes, I want to buy this card."
"Do you have sixth-tier ones?"
"Are there any seventh-tier ones?"
"Name your price."
At this moment, if Karoso dared to say he wouldn’t sell, he would truly become the target of everyone’s anger.
"Of course we sell it, but I have already asked my teacher, S+ class Card Maker Bai, to talk with the Nature Mage Association, and I believe they are almost done negotiating." Karoso said with his hands up, "Canglang Province will not be responsible for the creation and sale of this card, and who the Nature Mage Association works with is not our concern; we are just selling a piece of intellectual property."
All the Nature Mages sighed in relief.
Their most trusted ones, of course, are their association.
Meanwhile, some people with bad intentions showed strong disappointment; being linked to the Nature Mage Association was something that could not be compared to anything in Canglang Province.
No matter how powerful a province is, it is still just a province.
But the Nature Mage Association has all the Nature Mages in the world as a group.
For their own benefit, they will surely protect it with all their might.
Even the Church of Dawn Goddess might not dare to directly confront the Nature Mage Association.
"Good, very good!" the old Nature Mage patted Karoso’s shoulder.
"Ahem, this news was going to reach you all in a few days anyway," Karoso said helplessly, "I asked for a billion earlier, not because I wanted it. I was a bit upset because the casino suddenly broke the rules and wanted to make them pay, but then…"
"This money is what you deserve. Canglang Province has made such a great contribution to the Nature Mage group. No matter what your intentions were, no matter how much the Nature Mage Association sold for, this billion is yours." The old Nature Mage said, "Everyone here is your elder; they don’t care about a few million."
"Yes, what is this amount of money?"
"If I had known this news earlier, I would have made a lot of profit!"
"Hahaha… Little one, you in Canglang Province will gain the friendship of the Nature Mage Association!"
Karoso responded politely to these people, but he had no intention of repaying them.
They say they have the friendship of the Nature Mage Association, but who knows how much that friendship is actually worth.
Karoso only believes in the benefits he can see; he never relies on things that are uncertain and vague.
When conflicts truly arise in the future, they won’t go easy because of this friendship.
To put it plainly, business is just business.
"Ahem…" The manager saw that Karoso was so proper, which made Deep-sea Industry seem small-minded, and quickly said, "This time, our casino broke the rules; this one hundred million should come from us! We just didn’t react quickly enough, which made you all pay this money. I will return the money to you right away."
When they saw the manager returning the money, everyone didn’t hesitate; no one wanted to be against the money.
At this point, everyone was happy; the Nature Mages got their answer, the money returned to their pockets, and Karoso used their help to promote Emperor Goufuh, increasing the power of Canglang Province.
Looking at it this way, the casino seemed a bit petty.
The rules were broken, money was spent, and in the end, no one was happy.
"Are we still going to play…"
A gloomy voice spoke up.
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, who was none other than Karoso’s opponent.
To be honest, when Emperor Goufuh appeared, this match didn’t seem so important anymore.
"Of course," Karoso said, after all, there was still a prize of thirty million, why not take it?
With that, Karoso returned to his seat and said to him, "You can play your card now."
The man took a deep breath.
This deck is stronger in the late game, but this time it might be over. However, if I use a fast attack strategy, I might win.
The players present all felt a sudden tension.
They suddenly remembered the most important question.
If this card appears in the casino, who will be the opponent?
