Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 49

You're thinking of raising a Cauliflower Snake before even getting your hands on the Oath of Judah? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Let's check on that Serpent in the distance first.

Russell thought, then logged into the chat group.

The content in the group was about the same as usual.

Extremely quiet.

After all, there weren't many people in this group to begin with, and Valmont, who usually did most of the talking, seemed to be offline.

Russell wondered if Jackie Chan had caught him stealing Shadowkhan masks in District 13 and beaten him unconscious.

Russell mourned for Valmont and then began to privately message the Memeory Body of a certain Cauliflower Snake.

"I'm here, how have you been recently?"

As expected, the fawning inquiry received no response.

Russell pondered for a moment, then typed a new message.

"I heard a senior say that she knew someone a bit unkempt, with a chaotic schedule, who really liked pink dresses."

"She told me that if I ever met her, I should give her two, and she'd be very happy."

"Mm, she also suggested that I should buy both the adult and children's sizes at the same time."

"?"

Mobius, far away in the Golden Courtyard, slowly typed a question mark in response to the latest message.

"Are you and Elysia very close?"

This green serpent asked slowly.

Elysia was one of the few people who made Mobius feel a sense of closeness.

She was also the only one who would pester her, hoping she would wear pink dresses.

"Not close, I've just seen some of her personal vlogs. She seems to like showing herself to others, and has taken the opportunity to show off her friends."

The young man said.

"If you come out, perhaps you can come and see as well."

Personal vlogs?

Were they prepared before that battle?

Mobius felt a pang of melancholy.

Elysia was the Herrscher who died before the Finality descended. Her purpose was to unite people with a common enemy, and to explore a place that perhaps only she understood.

If there were personal vlogs, they must have been filmed before then.

Did she not share them with everyone immediately, but instead saved them for the next era, to tell future generations that there was an organization called the Thirteen Flame-Chasers in this world?

"You've successfully made me want to go out."

The serpent-like woman said.

"Tell me, how is your candidate progressing?"

"Although I'm not interested in so-called vlogs, familiar things still have some collectible value."

"Well, the person has already been sent to Changkong City. Mm, they are currently undergoing some minor adjustments, and should be ready within three days at most."

The young man said, blinking his eyes.

"I remember World Serpent had a cadre named Gray Serpent, but it seems that due to some minor conflict, he fled Changkong City."

"This puts me in a bit of a difficult situation."

"Oh, is that so?"

Mobius, in the consciousness space, frowned.

Gray Serpent.

One of her creations, or rather, a failed experiment. Because of that guy's desire for life, her past self had given him a chance not to be completely destroyed.

Subsequently, he began to ponder his own meaning and decided to follow her footsteps, becoming one of World Serpent's initial cadres.

She didn't expect that little fellow to get into a fight with someone from Schicksal?

It seemed he was beaten quite badly, to the point where he didn't even want to show his face anymore?

But, that didn't matter.

"There are traces of other cadres in Changkong City."

The true master of serpents pondered for a moment and sent Russell a bar's coordinates.

"Go find her. She will take your person and complete the final transaction."

Chapter 57: I Am the Vessel

Raven's Bar.

The Raven's Tavern wasn't always called the Raven's Tavern.

But after the boss changed to Raven, people from World Serpent started calling it Raven's Tavern.

As for what it was called before, no one cared.

Among World Serpent's many executives.

Raven was a rather special existence.

Most of World Serpent's executives were a bit abnormal; some were pathologically searching for the meaning of this land, others spent their days conducting bizarre biochemical experiments, and a few were literally the will of the Stigmata, not even considered human...

Raven was the one within World Serpent who possessed normal human cognition.

To be honest, she felt no affection for her organization—after all, the people in this organization didn't exactly act like decent human beings.

However, World Serpent was undeniably wealthy. Miss Raven, who desperately wanted to buy an island villa and retire, found that the income from the mercenary market was far lower than that from World Serpent. Thus, she humiliatingly knelt before Mobius's green shorts and became her lackey.

"At twelve noon, receive the 'Vessel' of the Lord and bring him into the Elysian Realm."

Raven glanced at the clock behind her.

The clock had already struck one.

The transaction time had passed.

Did the other party encounter some problem?

Miss Raven's expression showed a hint of worry.

This mission was very important.

In World Serpent, anything related to the word "Lord" was definitely a top-tier mission, usually handled solely by Gray Serpent.

This mission also mentioned the concept of a Vessel...

If nothing unexpected happened.

The story that would unfold next would be the Lord's resurrection.

Thinking of this, Miss Raven became even more anxious.

Lord.

Most people would assume this referred to Kevin, the strongest warrior of the previous civilization, but those like her, who had followed Gray Serpent since childhood, knew that Gray Serpent's attitude towards Kevin was merely respect, not "fanaticism."

The Lord he believed in was someone else entirely.

Such a noble figure was about to return, and it was quite normal for them to be obstructed along the way.

With this thought, Raven's expression grew even more solemn.

Should she go to provide support?

Raven couldn't help but shoulder a certain Divine Key, which had quite a bad temper, and fell into a dilemma.

But, just then, the smell of alcohol wafted from the entrance of the bar.

Who?

Raven immediately became alert.

It was currently mission time, and if an enemy were to infiltrate, it would be a perfectly normal development.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The door was pushed open.

The one who arrived was a young man who didn't look very old. He bore the emblems of both Schicksal and World Serpent, and around his neck hung a stone that looked like an amulet.

Raven relaxed slightly.

The newcomer's appearance matched the transaction target mentioned in the mission; he would be bringing the Lord's Vessel to World Serpent.

This fellow arrived safely, so it seemed there was no need to worry. Now she had to carry the Third Divine Key and participate in the battle.

"You're half an hour late."

Raven's expression showed some displeasure.

For mercenaries, time was always better the more accurate it was.

"Something came up on the way, sorry."

The young man bowed politely, explaining.

"It's good that you're alright."

Raven said.

In this line of work, dying on the street any day was normal.

It was strange that this guy, as the one escorting the goods, had managed to arrive here without a single drop of blood on him.

"I almost got into trouble."

To this, the young man on the other side nodded, a look of lingering fear on his face.

"I wanted to gain some seniority, so I went drinking with a classmate's father. I didn't expect him to be such a heavy drinker... It was a miscalculation. I had to use my abilities to degrade his alcohol tolerance and expel the alcohol... Pretending to drink, I almost got discovered."

Wait.

You weren't late because you were fighting robbers.

Miss Raven, whose body usually trembled on the edge of a knife, trembled again. Her gaze towards Russell held a trace of disbelief.

"You were late because you were drinking, not because you were attacked?"

"Attacked?"

The young man pondered, looking confused.

"I have bodyguards."

"Maybe I encountered something, but most likely, they didn't get past Rita. So, I don't know if I was attacked."

Rita, a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie.

Raven trembled again.

No, why would a delivery person have an S-rank bodyguard!!

And you admitted you were drinking before your mission.

Such dereliction of duty, and you have a bodyguard.

"Which rich family do you belong to?"

Miss Raven asked after a long silence.

In her entire life, this was the first time she had seen an S-rank Valkyrie acting as a bodyguard.

His words made the young man fall into thought.

"Hmm, sorry, I think I'm from an ordinary family."
