Chapter 553: Sweet talk and Backlash
Gnyan woke up with a headache and when he came to his senses, he stood up from the floor in fright and checked his body for any injuries.
After confirming that there are no external injuries, he looked for the internal ones as he closed his eyes. There are no traces of any harm. He was just knocked down.
All of a sudden he had a bad feeling about this, he slowly looked at his hand and just like that, the color drained down from his face. The ring is missing. He felt cold sweat all over his body and shuddered at the thought of what is going to happen.
He has raised nearly two hundred million and all of it is gone just like that. He didn't know what he should do. He almost lost himself in despair.
After trying his best to calm down and drinking the wine that was left on the table, he started thinking of the solution. By this time, he knew that he definitely fell under someone's scheme. If only his guardian was here.
But what can he do, his rights to have a guardian were stripped off due to the betting incident. He became angry at the thought that he didn't have any immediate solution and smashed everything in his office, before coming out and sending some ravens.
He walked out of the city and let out a beast from the pouch and left the place. He decided that he would go home and get some money to repay the loan. He has a thought that he might as well use force and get out of this situation, but he really didn't know what the strength of the other party is.
His position in the family is already is down in the dumps, so there is no way he could do that. As he traveled he started calculating his debts, now he has to delay it even more. His current debt is that he has to pay three hundred and twelve million and five hundred thousand for the young masters who came and then he has to pay a hundred million spirit stones back to the family.
That is the debt for today, and for every day he delayed, he would have to pay more. And he definitely going to delay this for another two days at least.
The beast he is riding on moved at its full speed. But no matter how fast he can move, he can only use a Level-6 beast, its maximum speed is not going to increase.
After around a day of travel, he arrived at a city. The Grass city is the city that is exactly in the middle of the Imperial capital and the Mirage city.
As soon as he entered the city, he moved in sneakily and the first place he entered is a luxury inn near the Western gate, he booked a room and waited. Soon, his communication token received a call and he went down.
After a few minutes, he led a young Naga lady who has scales with a red hue upwards to his room in an extremely sneaky manner.
"I am sorry, I had to meet you like this. I didn't think I would have to take money from you. You are a great friend."
Gnyan said with teary eyes. Although his lips said friend, his moves are so suggestive all the while. He hugged her for a while as the girl continuously blushed and felt her heart beating faster and faster.
Gnyan seemed to be very experienced at this. He is throwing so many suggestive and awkward words and actions, but it also looked like he is only acting as a friend. He is skillfully making the girl think that it is her own imagination at the same time it is her desire that is why she is imagining so many things.
One must say, he is skilled. He is not giving a way for the girl to break the ice and enter the next stage of the relationship by not giving any confirmation.
"I could only arrange eighty million. I know you need a lot more, but this is all I can do for now. I am really sorry." Gnyan really is skillful, not only did he take her money, but he also made her feel guilty for not giving him more.
He really is a charmer, after two hours of lovey-dovey talk that has no mention of love, he sent her off secretly and moved towards the eastern gate.
There he entered another rich inn and went into a room. He received another girl and had another talk before taking another spatial ring from here.
Like that he went to the two remaining gates in the north and south until evening.
He met four girls and he came to the city center by night to stay in another inn. He wanted to get some rest before going back. He has already delayed for three days in total, it is already big enough debt.
He bought some wine and started thinking about how to deal with the person who caused all his trouble. He doesn't know who it is exactly, he still didn't believe that his brother has this capability but it is too much of a coincidence for him to be here and after some thinking, his thoughts went to a person he recently plotted against and he even heard that name from his brother's lips.
Sam. As soon as his thoughts came to his name, he remembered the damage he caused due to this scheme. Luckily his father doesn't know and he is so confident that Luna wouldn't let his name out, otherwise he would have really thought, he is the one behind all this.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
There is a series of knocking on his door at this moment interrupting his thoughts.
When he opened his door, his face turned pale.
All four girls he met today are standing outside the door with cold faces. He felt cold sweat dripping down his back, he couldn't talk.
The four women dragged him out and tied him up.
Their guardians are outside too, waiting for him.
Actually, they wouldn't care if their young miss had some fun with a young man, the sex is a normal thing. In fact, it is more like a physical game to them. But, loving and cheating is a whole other matter.
And these young ladies have some positions within their families otherwise, he wouldn't have targeted them. But somehow they figured out he is playing the field very widely. If he wants to fuck around it is fine, they would have accepted it.
But he is clearly taking advantage of their statuses and playing with their feelings. To think that they did even fuck everyone because of him for a few years, they became furious and let one of the guardians hold him prisoner.
Even before he could protest, he was already on a beast on his way to the imperial capital. They seemed to want to get some proper explanation from his father.
But Gnyan is not scared of this the most. He is scared of the money problem he was facing.
From the looks of it, this is not going to end well, but it seemed it is going to take a lot of time. If he delayed it for another few days, the debt will be so big that even his family wouldn't be able to afford it.
He felt anxious, but there is nothing he could do. Women can become unrelenting when it comes to their feelings.
He understood this extremely hard way.
When he reached the family grounds, his father is extremely furious about the situation. All four ladies are not some small fries, their families have some position in the capital. All family heads came directly to their home and asked for an explanation.
They couldn't let their daughters get bullied right?
Gnyan's father felt like his flesh was being cut off from his body. Recently, he paid a billion because of his son, and due to this issue, he paid another two billion to appease the families. Apart from that, he directly punished his son to be thrown into the dark cell of the family for a week without even listening to his explanation or his mother's pleading.
In the dark cell, his cultivation would be cut off and he has to starve for this one week. He would just be a normal person with a stronger body, but that stronger body would also need some heavy nutrients to maintain the metabolism.
While starving he is imagining the large debt he has to face. He knew that his father wouldn't receive any news of that debt in the meantime, after all, who would be stupid enough to expose the debt early when they can get more money the more they waited.
He almost went into despair, he started cursing the person who put him in this state with all his heart.
