Chapter 277 The Legacy of Zeus and Hera's Families
After handing the unlocking drug to Aisha and the others, Roy knew that Tamms and his men were doomed.
No girl would willingly become a prostitute, not even a free-spirited Amazonian.
Among the many prostitutes, there were those who were sold to Orario like Haruhime, or those who were forced by circumstances to be loyal to Ishtar.
Therefore, the prostitute and Ishtar's man are different.
Roy wanted to prevent problems before they arose, so he could let the former go, but he had to eliminate the latter completely.
After all, they were a group of adventurers with LV.4 and LV.3 strength, and no one knew what crazy things they would do after losing Ishtar.
Roy won't wait until the accident happens to regret or make amends; justice delayed is justice denied! The harm people suffer will be etched in their minds forever.
The men who had abducted the prostitutes had their knees shattered and could not escape far before a Ganesha gendarme was summoned and sent to prison.
"Captain, there's also Haruhime!"
"Lord Roy, Lady Haruhime!"
When Roy brought Haruhime to the former core residence of the Ishtar Familia, Lily and Tiona exclaimed in surprise and ran towards them.
Roy smiled. "How did the takeover go?"
"Lord Roy, this is the catalog I've compiled." Lily took out a thick document.
Roy took the document and skimmed through it. The list meticulously detailed all of the Ishtarchun tribe's assets, including their houses, equipment, and treasures.
The estimated value is approximately three billion fares.
Because Ishtar, that spendthrift woman, had mortgaged a lot of things to various clans in order to raise equipment and supplies for the Mo family before the war game.
Now the debt falls on Roy and his group.
After those debts were paid off, approximately 2.3 billion eventually fell into the hands of the Astrea Familia.
Roy reached out and patted Lily's head, praising her sincerely, "You're truly amazing."
Previously, when the guild confiscated the assets of the Ishtar Spring Clan, dozens of guild staff worked day and night to complete the asset confiscation within a few days.
Lily faced a more complex situation with fewer people, yet she managed to compile this meticulous catalog that amazed even professionals in such a short time. The effort and time she put in are unimaginable.
"hey-hey!"
Lily enjoyed Roy's head pat, a happy smile on her face. To gain Roy's approval made all her efforts worthwhile.
"Captain, I want one too!" Tiona pouted.
"Yes, you're amazing too." Roy reached out his other hand and patted Tiona's head.
Tiona squinted her eyes happily.
Tiona wasn't good at such delicate work, but she was obedient. Lily would tell her to go east and she would never go west, which was surprisingly effective in intimidating all sides.
Roy was quite satisfied with their work.
As the leader, Roy only needs to grasp the general direction of the clan's development. If he has to do everything himself, then raising these girls would be a waste.
Haruhime looked at Lily and Tiona with envy, her tail covered in golden fur swaying from side to side.
Roy and Haruhime stayed behind and had dinner with Lily and Tiona. The food they took out from their spatial rings was absolutely fresh, pre-made.
Lily and Tiona were busy outside and didn't have time to go back for dinner. But when they smelled the familiar aroma of food, their mouths watered and they ate heartily.
During the meal, Roy asked, "Lily, what do you think should be done with this area in the future?"
"It will probably be taken over by the guild, and we can slowly run some small businesses," Lily pondered.
"Um!"
Roy nodded; Lily's judgment was accurate.
After the Ishtar Familia's collusion with the dark faction was exposed, the guild confiscated two-thirds of their assets, including a large amount of land and residences.
However, the floor master, Amphispina, caused damage in the Pleasure Street. Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, the guild will not vigorously develop this area. Otherwise, if another floor master appears, all efforts will be in vain.
And the floor owner, Amphispina, was Roy's doing; he knew there wouldn't be a second time.
Roy said, "That's a real waste."
Lily asked curiously, "What does Lord Roy mean?"
"Let's take over this entire area and completely control it," Roy said with a smile.
Although they made a fortune by robbing the man-made labyrinth and the Ishtar Familia, if they just sit around and live off their wealth, they'll eventually run out of money and have to worry about it again. Roy had considered making money by forging weapons, but decided against it; he didn't have that much time.
Now is the perfect time to buy up bargains at Huanle Street!
A wry smile appeared on Lily's face; her workload was likely to increase again.
Roy and Haruhime arrived at the guild headquarters.
As soon as the two entered the spacious hall, the eyes of all the gods, adventurers, and guild staff turned to them, especially Roy, their burning gazes seeming to want to devour him whole. The innocent and beautiful fox-girl next to them was completely ignored.
Chunji was startled, but then she realized that the people in the hall were not staring at her. Instead, they relaxed and looked at Roy with admiration in their eyes.
-
Roy's gaze swept across the guild hall, settling on the familiar half-elf girl. He went straight to reception window number three. "Miss Eina!"
The half-elf girl with brown hair has regular features, is beautiful and charming, has skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth, and wears exquisite glasses. She exudes a scholarly and intellectual temperament that is captivating.
But this guild flower already had someone else in her heart.
"Mr. Roy," Eina exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing this, everyone in the hall showed more or less envy. The relationship between Eina and the Astrea Familia was an open secret.
By hooking up with the S-rank Astrea Familia, Eina's status skyrocketed.
"Miss Eina, how have you been lately?"
"Thanks to you."
Eina's delicate lips curled up slightly. The only pity was that she attended the Astrea Familia's victory banquet, but Roy was surrounded by the gods and didn't get a chance to say a word.
"That's good."
Roy was clearly aware of Eina's difficult situation, so he asked softly, "Miss Eina, I would like to see the president."
"Guild Master—I understand, Mr. Roy. Please wait in the reception room for a moment." Eina headed towards the second floor, which was only accessible to the guild's higher-ups.
Although she had been with the company for less than two years, with the rise of the Astrea Familia, Eina's status had risen accordingly, and she was able to freely enter the offices of the higher-ups.
Roy entered the reception room.
Chunji stayed outside, curiously observing the guild hall. Although she had lived in Orario for nearly two years, this was her first time here. Like a curious child, she was in the guild hall, hoping no one would cause trouble.
Given the strength of the Astrea Familia, people should be grateful if they don't cause trouble for others.
Upon hearing that Roy wanted to see him, Guild Master Royman quickly fed himself several stomach pills. There's no such thing as a free lunch; if an adventurer of Roy's caliber came to his door in person, there was probably something in trouble.
Sure enough, when Royman entered the reception room and gave a brief greeting, Roy's next words made him want to flee on the spot.
Roy placed his hands on the table. "President Royman, I need the property rights to the former Ishtar Familia's residence, the area around the Pleasure District."
"No!"
Recalling the "One Pit Project" proposal in his office, Royman resolutely rejected it.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, just like back then, Royman couldn't help but recall their first meeting. This boy had even dared to threaten him; a fool's rage could lead to bloodshed. But now, the other party was, after all, the leader of an S-rank clan; shouldn't he be much more mature and composed by now?
Royman realized he might have been wrong.
Roy has indeed become more mature and composed, but his fundamental nature remains unchanged.
Those cold, mocking eyes fell on him, causing Royman to break out in a cold sweat instantly.
Roy said, "President, if we hadn't exposed the Ishtar Familia's collusion with the dark factions, who knows what other damage they might have caused in the shadows."
Royman watched the other person's performance quietly.
Roy wore a sorrowful expression. "Eliminating the Ishtar Familia was a great achievement for Orario. Treating a meritorious person like this is heartbreaking. Who will dare to contribute to Orario in the future?"
Lloyd was speechless and had no way to refute.
The Astrea Familia's contributions to Orario are undeniable, and they even ask for no reward. But Royman wants to say: These are all your personal actions, not something I forced you to do as volunteers.
But Royman felt that if he said that, Roy would definitely explode.
Roy's words conveyed the same message: we voluntarily maintain order in Orario without asking for anything in return, but just because we don't want it doesn't mean you can refuse to give it to us!
Royman could only grit his teeth and change the subject, "The Astrea Familia has been hiding its strength, and the guild hasn't pursued this matter."
Updating adventurers' information to the guild is also one of the duties of each clan.
In the original timeline, the Hermes Familia participated in the battle against Black Goliath in the dungeon, exposing the Familia's strength. The guild, citing the concealment of the Familia's strength, imposed a hefty fine of half their assets.
Several members of the Astrea Familia skipped two levels without reporting to the guild immediately after leveling up; they could have been punished.
Roy, however, wasn't intimidated. "Is our rapid growth also our fault?"
Royman's eyelids twitched; Roy's magical ability to help people grow rapidly.
Tremendous stress!
Faced with Roy's relentless pressure, Royman's eyes flickered. Perhaps it would be better to give him face; after all, he might need Roy's help someday. He slowly uttered, "A transfer fee of two billion!"
Orario is known as the "center of the world," where every inch of land is incredibly valuable, especially prime locations like the Pleasure District. No man would be willing to sell it for less than a good price.
Roy chuckled softly, "Hahaha, President, have you misunderstood something?"
Royman frowned.
Roy laughed and said, "Let me help you recall, two-thirds of the assets of the Ishtar Familia."
Winning the war game means all the assets of the Ishtar Familia belong to the Astrea Familia, but the guild receives two-thirds of it, approximately 5 billion Fali!
"By confiscating their assets, we are indirectly helping you win the war game!" Royman slammed his fist on the table, his face grim.
Roy asked, "Do you think we need to?"
Royman was once again rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
In that war game, the Ishtar Familia completely overwhelmed the others, only briefly suppressing Roy and his group when the Heavenly Ox appeared, before being quickly wiped out.
The power gap is too great.
Even if the Ishtar Familia retains those assets, the final outcome will not change.
The guild essentially got 5 billion Fali for free.
Eina was only focused on severely weakening the Ishtar Familia. She led her guild staff to target high-quality assets. Fortunately, Ishtar was quite shrewd and had hidden a lot of good stuff. Otherwise, the remaining third of the assets would have been nothing but junk.
Roy, of course, wanted to settle this score with the guild.
"There are two conditions!"
Having said all that, Roy dropped the pretense and held up two fingers. "First, unconditionally transfer the property rights of the Pleasure District to the Astrea Familia. Second, grant Miss Eina access to view the data left behind by Zeus and Hera's Familia after their exploration of the dungeon."
Information on the Shensi and Helachun tribes?
Royman was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Roy.
Whenever the Loki Familia and Freya Familia reached a certain floor, the guild would announce that the next floor would be the Unknown Territory, but this was not actually the case.
The Zeus and Hera Familia had once conquered the seventy-first floor, but the guild had kept that information hidden.
The real expedition mission of the Freyce Familia is to conquer the seventieth floor, otherwise how could it take so long? They are still struggling in the dungeon and have not shown their faces yet.
Upon hearing these two conditions, Royman felt his heart was bleeding, especially the second one. The intelligence the guild possessed was one of the reasons he had the confidence to manipulate the Loki Familia and the Freyce Familia.
By releasing information from only one level at a time, the families of the two overseas Chinese communities can be persuaded to obediently work for the association.
Roy wanted all the information at once.
Royman's brow furrowed more and more, and he hesitated.
"President, if all else fails, you can return the assets of the Ishtar Familia to us," Roy said with a timely assist.
This statement became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Compared to the cold, hard information stored in the oath, the warm numbers on the guild account were Royman's favorite, and Eina was considered one of his own.
At a critical moment, he could use his authority as chairman to order Eina not to tell Roy any information.
"The guild wants 500 million falies for the ownership of Pleasure Street. I can let Eina access that information. That's my bottom line!" Royman sneered.
"good!"
Roy squinted. To conquer the dungeons later, that kind of information was essential. He continued, "There's one more thing, Guild Master. I don't want to see Miss Eina being bullied in the guild."
"Understood!" Royman replied, considering the other two conditions for the pregnant moth insignificant compared to this small matter.
The two reached the second stage of intercourse, and then parted from the snake to receive the oath.
Outside, the two remained restrained, showing no signs of hostility and appearing amicable. Otherwise, rumors of a conflict between the guild leader and the leader of the Astrea Familia would have spread like wildfire. In their positions, they are under constant scrutiny.
"Miss Eina, I'll be troubling you from now on," Roy said with a meaningful smile.
Eina tilted her head, looking puzzled.
Until Royman took Eina underground, to the highest-secret vault, built next to the prayer oath of the god Uranus, no one dared to force their way in.
"Eina, you are now free to enter this storage room." Royman tossed her the key.
A bewildered Eina entered the storage room, and after examining the documents, a mixture of shock and joy appeared on her face.
It turns out that the two strongest families of the former overseas Chinese have managed to conquer the seventy-first floor of the dungeon!
She immediately realized the immense value of this information; obtaining it would greatly help Roy and the Astrea Familia conquer the dungeon!
After completing her necessary work each day, Eina would head straight to the storehouse and eagerly read the legacy left by the two families of the strongest overseas Chinese.
This is what Roy was hoping for.
If Roy directly asks for the information left behind by Zeus and Hera's family, Royman might not agree. On the contrary, if Chairman Royman believes that he can control Aina, the possibility of him agreeing is low.
Little did Roy know that he had other ideas.
When Eina had fully obtained the information left behind by the two major clans, it was also the time when they left their posts.
Eina chose to work for the guild because of the good salary, which helped her earn money to supplement her family's income.
Roy could easily poach people by offering higher wages. If all else failed, he would use his charm to entice them over. With the right approach, no corner was too difficult to breach!
What future can you have if you just stay in the guild as a lowly employee? That girl is a top student in the school district; her intelligence, learning, and management skills are all top-notch!
The general manager position in the renovated Pleasure Street was reserved by Roy for Eina.
Upon hearing that the Astrea Familia was going to invest in the Pleasure District, gods, adventurers, and members of various clans rushed over like cats smelling fish.
"Roy, what new way to make money have you come up with? Count me in!" Hermes laughed.
There was another group of overseas Chinese deities begging for a meeting.
Roy's ability to make money is well-known, and coupled with the Astrea Familia's super reputation, it's practically a sure-fire way to make money.
Many forces are eager to join, and at this point, it's not about financial resources, but about connections. They seek out Astraea, Ryu, and others to persuade them.
"Sure, sure!"
Roy laughed, "This cake is too small for Astrea's clan to handle. Let's bring in a few more clans and weave an unbreakable net."
After further screening, Roy sold his shares in the Happy Street Snakes project for a good price.
The Loki Spring Clan invested 3.5 million, holding a 9% stake.
The Ganesha Familia, Gubernius Familia, Demeter Familia, Njord Familia, Hermes Familia, and Hephaestus Familia each contributed 200 million, holding 5% of the shares. The guild originally wanted a 500 million property transfer fee, which was converted into 10% of the shares. The combined forces of these groups held 49%.
The Astrea family owns 51% of the shares.
Before the construction of the Happy Street project even started, Roy received 1.55 billion Fargo dollars.
