God of Money: Reincarnated as the Weakest SSS Rank-Chapter 50: Velfast City, a City of Games, Gambling and Lots of Fun
Chapter 50: Velfast City, a City of Games, Gambling and Lots of Fun
The hours go by pretty fast when you’re doing something that keeps you entertained. It was on Earth, and it is in this world.
He spent so much time trying to improve his speed when creating Arkanometric Fabrics that it was already Saturday at dawn by the time he realized it.
He had to get ready and go to the designated place to meet the people they were going out with.
Factory A is a factory dedicated to creating everyday items using plastic. For the population, this factory is known as Raeliplast. It is one of the four main companies in the creation of plastic in the Industrial District, with great commercial connections with other cities in the region.
Its annual turnover is more than 800 million Jens, and it is increasing. It is estimated that within four years, the annual turnover could be over 2 billion.
That’s why it’s one of the top companies in the House of Shadows.
Now, that’s in public view. Behind the scenes, this company makes considerably more money than it is said to, as it is the 2nd headquarters from where the legal drugs that are trafficked are distributed.
And this is because it has one of the best exits in the city, where it avoids many guards and is easy to bribe.
Upon arriving in the area, he was introduced to the people traveling with him
Five Awakened and a normal spy, with good stealth capabilities.
Louis must praise that spy in this case, for he camouflaged himself well enough to look like a simple old driver.
’Impressive.’ He smiled in amazement.
The Awakened, on the other hand, though he was unaware of their level, did not look threatening. They all had piercing gazes and wore ordinary clothes, nothing remarkable.
Most notable in dress was Louis, who had come dressed the same way he had gone to meet the leaders last time. It was the outfit that had caught his eye the most since he had seen it in Victorian-era inspired movies.
Of course, it wasn’t a very good outfit for mobility, so he would eventually have to change when the real mission started, but it was pretty good for now.
Besides, it was already starting to get cold, as winter was approaching. These clothes were good for withstanding the cold.
"Mr. Carwine, it’ll be fine if you don’t have to intervene in the mission. Don’t worry too much about it, our contracted Awakenings are specialists in this type of mission. For now, your mission is to go as the Envoy of the House of Shadows." Jackvin whispered to him.
Louis smiled, "That’s Good. There’s no need to worry about me; I know what I have to do."
With that, he climbed into the carriage pulled by two horses and, strangely, guided by a winged kitten.
From what he had been told, despite being incredibly fast, the horses they were using had the major problem: they were a bit blinkered.
They were special horses, a peculiar breed. The hind legs were truly thick and robust, very sturdy and heavy. Each hind leg weighed more than 150 kg. They had amazing and natural heels made of magnetic iron that were firmly anchored to the ground.
On the other hand, the front legs created the biggest disadvantage of the breed: they always weighed half as much as the hind legs and even less, creating a terrible imbalance. This is because the front area of these horses is their biggest weakness, which is why they are blinkered.
This is why kittens with wings are used; they are not simple pets.
They are natural magicians. Historically, they are the animals with the best vision, and they also pity those with poor vision. That is why they are often seen as pets of blind or visually impaired people, with the kittens choosing their owners.
They have the ability to improve vision and also increase stamina in the user’s weak areas; hence, they are also very good friends to these horses.
Now, these horses, despite the great weaknesses they face, have a peculiarity, and that is why they are so widely used: they do not need to rest too much.
They have amazing stamina, which allows them to travel without rest for more than 900 kilometers. If they are reinforced with the magic of the kitten, this is increased by at least another 300 kilometers.
In addition to being one of the fastest, this peculiarity makes them crucial for long trips and where it is necessary to arrive in the shortest possible time, since they can travel more than 400 kilometers in one day.
Although the number of kilometers traveled depends a lot on the load they carry.
In this case, they were not carrying a heavy load, since there were only a few people and they were not going to a place too far away.
Velfast City, to the west, still belonged to Velharthe even though it was about 100 kilometers away.
This is because it was initially part of the undeveloped villages of Velharthe, but in the last 100 years, it has developed into a grandiose City where Games, Gambling, and generally all kinds of amusements are the norm.
It is a city of about 200,000 inhabitants, mostly natives, with the capacity to hold up to 1 million visitors.
After leaving Velharthe, the trip went smoothly.
They arrived in Velfast in the afternoon. From a distance, you could already hear the hustle and bustle of people shouting or partying.
Velfast is surrounded by a large protective wall, which is decorated with bright colors and large advertisements of different companies that pay to appear there.
Casinos, bars, gambling houses, betting shops...
The main street was too lively, with all kinds of entertainment, including parks for the younger ones and Combat Arenas.
The economy of this city was entirely driven by entertainment. Perhaps 80 or 90% of the city’s economy passed through there.
But as far as Louis knew, thanks to that peculiarity, an important part of the smuggling of illicit substances arrived here as a final destination. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Hearing about the city was one thing, but seeing it was entirely different.
Yes, there were all kinds of amusements. But Louis could see many people who had gone crazy with so much fun.
Those who had lost everything to gambling roamed the streets and were beaten by the security guards of those casinos.
Some were walking in desperation, fleeing from lost bets. Others walked pompously through the streets. Not a second glance was given to those in need.
’It’s a city full of easy fun. But what comes easily, goes easily. No wonder the House of Shadows is so entrenched in this place. Possibly this place could turn more profit than the whole of Velharthe City, just for this quirk alone.’
They came to a family mansion in the countryside, where they finally stopped.
The steward of the family home came out to greet them.
"Gentlemen, welcome to Velfast."
