After finishing the lunch, as the family of three touring around the Mansion along with Storm, meanwhile, Dexter and Wil sat before each other, engaging in negotiation.

"No, we can compromise on the value on Shipyard and the stadium but not the land in pregas city. Even if you don't do anything, its value is bound to rise several times within a few years. Asking for double is a loss for us," said Silver to the negotiator who sat beside Dexter.

Upon hearing him, Wil nodded, "I agree with him. After all, you should know the biggest advantage you will have, once you own the land. The relationship with the Western Trade Center..."

While Dexter stayed calm as if he was expected of the reaction, the negotiator replied, "of course, we knew that. That's why we are offering money and the land in other places of equal in return."

Silver shook his head, "no, we decided not to have anything to do with the western continent after we sell everything."

Just when Negotiator about to speak, Dexter raised his hands to stop him and then, looked at Wil, "I'll increase half a fold more and pay two and a half times the price for the land in the city of Pregas if you decide to add the island in the list. You already decided to leave. So, why keep that island. Sell it to me."

"Eh?"

"It's not a simple private island for us…" As a frown appeared on Silver, Deter interrupted him, "I know. But, you are wasting such a good strategic location for some graveyard. I'll buy that and develop into something more productive. You can just shift the graveyard somewhere else. Not a big deal…"

"Mind your words, Antolov. Remember where you are right now," growled Silver as he stood up in anger and put his hand inside the coat to pull out the gun. While the negotiator's face paled in fear, suddenly, Silver's hand was caught from behind, "Silver, please calm down. He's here as a guest, now."

Then, he turned his head towards Dexter and replied calmly, "I'll consider your offer if you wish to pay the same price as the land at pregas city in today's value. 1152 dollars/sq.feet…"

"You…"

Ignoring the expression on Dexter, Wil continued, "Well, I'm always ready to sell at the quoted price. You can buy it whenever you want in the future."

Federation Bank, Ares City;

A door was suddenly opened with a great force that slammed against the cabin. 

The branch manager, who was leisurely eating instant noodles asked, "What are you panicking for... Did an important person run away without paying back the loan, again?" 

"Sir, we detected two huge transactions taken place, just now," said the operations manager to the Bank manager while breathing hard.

"Okay, first take a deep breath," advised the Bank manager and then slurped the noodles once again, "so, how much is it? 1 Billion? 5 Billion? Don't tell me it's 10 Billion yuan..."

Taking a deep breath, the operations manager replied, "190 Billion, sir."

"Huh… Come again?"

The noodles fell down on the desk as the Branch manager stopped eating and opened his mouth big.

"Hundred and ninety billion dollars in total, Sir.

In the first transaction, we don't know the receiver because of the confidentiality of IC Bank but the sender is someone named Dexter Antolov, who sent 150 Billion dollars.

The strange thing is that the second transaction took place just a minute after the first where the sender from IC Bank is unknown but the receiver is Williard Ravens. He received 39.5 Billion Dollars.

One more thing is that Mr. Ravens also received huge amounts like 3.5 Billion dollars just in the morning and another 5 Billion, yesterday.

I believe something is fishy is going on. Should we…"

Upon hearing the details, instead of getting serious, the manager sighed in relief and leaned back to the chair, "don't need to investigate the source. I'm the one who sanctioned a 250 Billion Yuan loan to Mr. Antolov.

And your suspicion is probably right. There might be a deal going on between the two of them. But we don't need to worry about Mr. Ravens though. He's the chairman of Scarlet.

Not to mention, with this deposit, He already became the biggest depositor of our bank with 100 Billion Yuan. What if he withdrew his funds if he finds out we initiated the investigation… Just close your eyes and ignore the matter."

Back to the Ravens' Mansion, looking at the bank alert on his mobile phone, Wil shook his hands with Dexter with a smile, "pleasure doing business with you." 

FD Bank Alert: Your account is credited with 39,500,000,000 WD.

Meanwhile, Storm and the three members of the Antolov family returned from their house tour. 

Looking at his grand-daughter, Dexter smiled, "did you like the house?"

Evie nodded with excitement, "I like it very much, grandpa. Did you know they have this bowling center on the 3rd floor? And there's also a basketball court behind the building? You should install things like these at our Mansion, grandpa. Ah, by the way..."

The girl then turned towards Wil and asked, "Big Brother, I saw Summersoft capsule in the room. Did you also play War Online?"

As Wil looked at Storm as if he was asking 'why he let them inside his room', the latter just turned his head away in response, feeling a little bit ashamed of his weakness for kids.

Controlling his expression, Wil then replied to Evie indifferently, "not really. I tried it for a while after our company started hiring pro gamers but it's not much interesting to me." 

Meanwhile, Dexter's son, Reuben Antolov kept on staring at Wil in silence while thinking, "This feeling is very similar. That's right; this kid gives the same vibe as TimeTraveler. Both their way of talking is also a bit similar, isn't it? Nah, I might be thinking like that is probably because of their connection to Scarlet.

Didn't Evie already mention that Time Traveler is the owner of the Scarlet Apartments? Not to mention, both appearances and ages are very different, although one can change them during the character creation. Nah, this kid with a diamond spoon won't bother to do that."

*Welcome to War Online*

Sending the guests away, Wil went back to the capsule and logged in before teleporting to the imperial city to meet the King and report the matter.

*Yawn* "What a good sleep. Morning, lad. Where are you going by the way..."

As Wil heard a voice from his back, he equipped the bow in his hand and replied, "To the palace."

"Oh... I see."

Glancing at the bow, Wil asked in wonder, "what happened? You sound a bit low. Don't you like to see your daughter?" But as there was no response from Averil, Wil remembered the hate in her eyes upon mentioning she became the king. So, he didn't ask her further.

After a long time, as the golden majestic Imperial palace came into their sight, a sigh escaped from the bow, "it's nostalgic to go like this. The last time I walked on these streets with chains. Now, I'm here with possessing this bow. I guess restriction is a part of my life too."

As the wielder of the bow, Wil wasn't able to say anything in return as he too doesn't want her to be free from his bow as it would bring down his stats. So, he changed the topic, "By the way, Averil. I never got to ask how you ended up there. According to what I know, you are imprisoned in Black Citadel?"

"Sigh... It's a long story. I'll tell you later."

Under the gazes of the people around who are staring at him like he's some crazy fool for talking to a bow, Wil reached the Imperial Palace.

A while later;

"So, you are saying the prisoner escaped without reading the letter," asked Mirella with a frown as he reported it while adding a lie that Averil escaped instead of getting killed.

*Ding. You received a mandatory quest.

Description: You lied to the King which is a heavy sin. Don't let Mirella find out the truth.

Failure: Mirella's favorability decreases by 20 

At first, he was taken aback but still, Wil nodded seriously in confirmation and casually asked as if he has done nothing wrong, "Your Majesty, what should I do, right now?"

But, Mirella didn't respond in return as she went into her thoughts. Looking at her state, Wil stand aside in silence and waited for her.

After a while, she opened her mouth, "if I'm right, Zuweth won't be the only one to attack. There's also Iylenore that hates our kingdom to the core. I don't think they would miss this opportunity but it's just a conjecture. I want you to find out their method of attack.

*Ding. You received a quest.

Description: The king wants you to infiltrate Rikilda's Mansion and find out who the enemies are and how they are going to attack. Bring back the proof that can be used against them.

Rewards: 20 million exp, 100 gold, 500 fame, 1 random legendary grade accessory box.

*Ding. You received a quest item. Please check your inventory.

"I'll fulfill this mission, your majesty." Wil accepted the quest even though there's not much of a reward. 

Accepting the quest, Wil then teleported to East Ocean city once again to fly towards the Ocean once again to fetch his Book of Destiny that was dropped into the ocean.
