#586 - Chapter 586 The Source and Reversal of Wealth
“Um.....”
In a tavern in Eternal Night City, Wu Wei looked up and said.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Oh?”
“Asking me?”
Xue Jingsong looked at Wu Wei, who was clearly curious, and nodded.
“Sure.”
“What do you want to ask me?”
At this time, Wu Wei and Xue Jingsong had already signed the contract.
And the 60 billion resource points that Xue Jingsong gave Wu Wei had also been received.
That's right.
It really arrived.
The kind of arrival where a full 60 billion resource points were transferred to Wu Wei's account in one go.
Sixty billion!
This amount of money is enough to buy a nearly medium-sized guild.
Although this so-called 60 billion is not a fortune to be reckoned with in the eyes of many families and alliances.
But it is still a substantial sum of money in the Human Empire.
Most importantly, Xue Jingsong did not hesitate at all when making the payment, and simply handed over the huge sum of 60 billion resource points to Wu Wei.
But it was also for this reason that Wu Wei, for the first time, had a question.
That is:
“How did you become so rich?”
“....”
Faced with the young lord who asked such a stupid question, Xue Jingsong helplessly covered his face.
Although this question was stupid, Xue Jingsong still gave his answer in order to get closer to Wu Wei.
“Actually, the reason why I am so rich now is all due to my personal struggle.”
“Because since I was a child, I have always been very poor.”
“Therefore, from the moment I became a lord, I have been working hard!”
“I risked my life to participate in various dangerous business activities, using blood and pain to accumulate capital for myself bit by bit, until the moment I soared into the sky!”
“Really?”
“All of this, you can actually obtain just by relying on your own efforts?”
After hearing Xue Jingsong's description, Wu Wei's eyes lit up.
But....
“Of course it's fake!”
Xue Jingsong took a sip of wine and rolled his eyes at Wu Wei.
“How could anyone believe that they can acquire such a huge fortune just by relying on their own efforts.”
“Please!”
“The world is never short of hard work!”
“You are working hard, he is working hard, and even everyone is working hard.”
“So many people are working hard, but look, have any of these people become rich? Has anyone become a wealthy tycoon?”
“Sorry, not a single one!”
“Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“Because wealth is a monopoly!”
“Only those who have the ability and strong connections can get the opportunity to monopolize wealth!”
“In other words, the closer you are to the source of wealth, the more likely you are to become a real rich man.”
“Wu Wei, don't believe those so-called legends of getting rich through hard work.”
“The reason why I am so rich is because I have a very high status within our Gold and Silver Mountain Alliance.”
“And I also control many lifelines of the Gold and Silver Mountain Alliance's wealth.”
“Therefore, I can be so rich, and I can give you a full 60 billion resource points without feeling any pain!”
“In simple terms, I have the ability to get close to the source of wealth, so I can become what I am today!”
“I see.”
Wu Wei nodded.
Although Xue Jingsong's answer was somewhat unexpected and cynical.
However, in some respects, the other party's answer was the most sincere.
Because Xue Jingsong, a wealthy tycoon, showed the source of wealth to Wu Wei in a bloody manner, without any concealment.
“But,”
“Wu Wei, after you and I complete this transaction, I actually want to have another transaction with you.”
“I wonder if you are interested?”
“What transaction?”
Wu Wei, who was ready to fulfill the contract and prepare to leave Xue Jingsong's plane, asked.
“I want to spend money to hire you to protect me!”
“Protect you?”
Wu Wei smiled.
“I don't think you need my protection.”
“After all, judging from the size of your wealth, you shouldn't need to worry about security issues, right?”
“No, no, no.”
As Xue Jingsong spoke, he took out a new contract from his arms and handed it to Wu Wei.
Wu Wei took it and frowned immediately.
Because he found that the content of this contract was to have him send troops to protect Xue Jingsong's core plane.
“Now is when I need to worry about my life the most.”
“Because....”
“The people who want to kill me are the same as me.”
“Guys with huge wealth!”
“They also have the means I have!”
“Even more means than I do!”
“So.”
“Now, I really need your help!”

“Crack!”
“Crack!”
Just as Wu Wei's troops were staying on Xue Jingsong's plane because of the Abyss Overlord's order.
One huge teleportation gate after another stood up from all directions of this plane.
New enemies appeared.
The previous employer has now become the enemy!
And the previous enemy has become the Abyss's protection object.
The fates of these two successfully completed a reversal under the witness of the Endless Abyss!
