Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Any Objections?

Overall, Nagato's strength could be considered a high-tier gold card.

"Not bad!"

Kael was very satisfied.

[Recycle the selected character?]

"Recycle!"

[Ding! Recycling successful! Your magic power has increased!]

Kael recycled Kakuzu and the other character cards as well. This feeling of rapidly increasing magic power was very stimulating; if he recycled another dozen times like this, his magic power would increase by about another half a star.

Nowadays, increasing by half a star was not easy at all; it required recycling five gold cards.

However, his strength would also increase significantly in return.

"Continue! Continue!"

Having pulled a gold card, Kael's confidence surged again.

Kael started his fourth ten-draw.

[Would you like to perform a 10-draw?]

"Confirm!"

The fourth ten-draw was unlucky; he didn't even get a purple.

Kael started his fifth ten-draw.

The fifth ten-draw produced a purple card. This purple card was Vergo, the Donquixote Family undercover agent in the Marines from the One Piece world—the one who was sliced in half by Law on Punk Hazard.

Kael naturally recycled a character of that caliber immediately.

Kael started his sixth ten-draw.

[Would you like to perform a 10-draw?]

"Confirm!"

"Gold! Gold! Gold!"

Kael continued to stare at the system draw screen, praying for a gold card.

Soon, a golden light shone.

"It's gold!"

Kael saw the gold eyes light up; the second gold card of the night was finally here.

Kael flipped the golden character card over.

"It's actually him!!"

Kael was very surprised when he saw the character image on the card.

This was a man who looked like a somewhat ordinary middle-aged man with auburn hair. He had an auburn mustache, blue eyes, and was shirtless, showing off very well-developed muscles. He carried a golden one-handed axe on his shoulder.

"Escanor!!"

Even though he looked quite ordinary, Kael recognized his identity at a single glance.

Escanor.

Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride from the Seven Deadly Sins anime.

"Above the heavens and below the earth, I alone am the honored one."

He was one of the members of the Seven Deadly Sins Knights. His title was the "Sin of Pride," and he was the strongest and most popular character among the Seven Deadly Sins.

He had a cross tattoo on his back and belonged to the human race. He possessed the magic "Sunshine," which was influenced by the sun; his physique and personality changed along with the position of the sun.

At high noon, he possessed his peak combat power.

In the final battle, he stood his ground against the Demon King and finally killed him, but he died when his life force was completely exhausted.

Since then, Seven Deadly Sins has been jokingly called the story of one honest man and his six actor teammates.

Although it was a bit of a joke, it wasn't exactly wrong.

According to Kael's calculations, Escanor's combat power during the day was already very strong, and for one minute at noon, he would become an invincible existence.

Without a doubt, this was another high-tier gold card. For that one minute at noon, his combat power could even rival a top-tier gold card.

"Profit! I've made a profit!!"

Although it took sixty draws to get two gold cards this time, both of them were incredible guys.

Looking at the remaining twenty-one draws, Kael thought for a moment and decided to use them all.

[Would you like to perform a 10-draw?]

"Confirm!"

Magnolia Town.

Twilight Ogre.

"So then, old gentleman, there's no need to chatter anymore at this point. Just pay us back the money we lent you with the interest. That's our only request."

The Twilight Ogre Master, Banaboster, spoke with an arrogant expression while smoking a cigar.

"Even if you say that, you know we're flat broke!"

Makarov spoke. Since he had returned, his first priority was naturally to solve the loan shark problem with Twilight Ogre, but he didn't have any money right now.

Mira said with a smile, "After looking at those account books, it becomes clear. The income and expenses are obviously very strange."

The Twilight Ogre Master stood up immediately like a cat that had its tail stepped on. "Ah?! Are you planning to back out on the debt?!"

Makarov raised his hand and said, "I wouldn't dare! We will pay back the borrowed money and the reasonable interest that has been generated. Someday..."

"I'm telling you to pay it back now!!"

"No, no, no, so then, let's start by recalculating from the interest."

"Five of our boys were 'taken care of' by you guys!! As creditors, having someone back out on a debt... this is a matter of our guild's pride!!"

Suddenly!

A box flew straight over and smashed into the Twilight Ogre Master's face.

BANG!

"Uwah!"

The Twilight Ogre Master let out a cry of pain.

"Master!"

The Twilight Ogre members were all startled.

"Who was that?!"

The Twilight Ogre Master shouted while clutching his nose.

"It's me!"

Kael spoke as he walked over.

Makarov said in surprise, "Brat, why are you here?"

"Aren't you here to pay back the money? It just so happens that the interest on the money I kept in the bank all these years has grown quite a bit, so I took it out to settle the debt." Kael had always kept his money in the bank; before the incident, he had set up a high-interest seven-year fixed-term deposit. Now that seven years had passed, his profit had already reached tens of millions.

Hearing this, the Twilight Ogre Master immediately picked up the box. Upon opening it and seeing it was full of money, he prepared to take it.

Makarov pressed his hand down on it. "No! Brat, this is your money. The guild cannot use your money to pay its debts!"

"Hey! Old man! Are you trying to avoid paying?!"

The Twilight Ogre Master didn't care whose money it was; once it was in his hands, it was his.

Kael waved his hand. "It's fine. The guild is in trouble right now, so I'll help out where I can. As for the money, you can just pay me back slowly later."

He liked money, but he wasn't stingy; when the guild was in need, he would naturally help.

"Stupid kid..."

Makarov was moved. This kid Kael was truly reliable.

"Give it here!"

The Twilight Ogre Master took the money directly.

"Alright, now that the money has been paid, you all can leave!"

Makarov said, "Wait a minute!"

"Old man, what else do you want?"

"The debt we owed you has been paid back. Now, it's time to settle what you owe us."

The Twilight Ogre Master panicked upon hearing this, having a very bad premonition. "Nonsense! Since when did we owe you anything?!"

Kael looked at the Twilight Ogre members and said calmly, "For seven years, you have damaged our guild's property, insulted our guild, and committed acts of violence against our guild members. We will ask you to pay it all back, down to the last cent."

Makarov also stood up, his body slowly growing larger. "For seven years... the suffering the children endured, the tears they shed... Hey! Kid, we'll settle this with a fight. Any objections?"

"Eeeeeeeeeh—?!!"

The Twilight Ogre members were suddenly terrified.

"Yaaaaaaaaa!!!"
