Heklar had gotten his wish and taken control of the city of Booty Bay. His influence in Booty Bay now connected with Gurubashi Arena, forming one whole. One was a renowned neutral coastal trading city, while the other was a place of underground gladiatorial combat and black-market dealings. His sources of wealth had gained another important channel.
The Hydraxian Waterlords and Venture Company also swiftly moved into Booty Bay, purchasing all kinds of storefronts and investing in various industries. With Heklar's permission, they were allowed to take a share of the profits here.
Another surprise fell from the sky. On a small island not far across from Booty Bay stood a massive Goblin Statue. This statue was not merely decorative; it was also the location of Booty Bay's secret vault.
The money from all of Booty Bay's banks had been secretly stored inside the statue. Now that Heklar had acquired such an astonishing fortune, he decided to embark on a grand undertaking.
Heklar consolidated all the banks in the city and established Heklar Bank. Gold previously deposited in the various banks remained valid in the new bank. Heklar understood this perfectly well: if he tried to swallow the immense amount of gold in the statue vault for himself, he would simply be courting death.
So he changed his way of thinking. He would just raise fat sheep.
Thus, Heklar Bank rapidly opened for business and introduced a series of promotions, including higher deposit interest rates, to retain adventurers' deposited gold, along with all kinds of low-interest loan services.
