Chapter 0200 – Are You Ready for a Loan – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

Divine debt.

As opposed to Yama’s debt, which is usurious, Shenxian debt refers to interest-free borrowing, which is called Shenxian debt because no interest is charged, just like money given by the gods.

I had experienced a series of events related to the Immortal Debt in my previous life, so I was no stranger to it. When I heard this name, I thought to myself: so they, from this time, have started to act. The incident of the Immortal Debt was only made public after a long time.

Takayuki explained:

"This is a new term that has only recently appeared, referring to interest-free borrowing, which is mainly circulated among young martial artists, in secret."

Divine debt.

Behind this seemingly beautiful word lies a heinous evil.

"The first time I heard about fairy debts was in Guizhou, and at that time, I thought, it was some rich, wealthy businessman, doing good deeds. But later, I heard about the Immortal Debt in Chongqing, and in Hubei. Of course, if I hadn’t been engaged in intelligence work, I wouldn’t have known about it, because it was, carried out very secretly."

Takayuki’s skepticism, thus, was born.

"Just who, exactly, would lend money without interest? Moreover, only lend it to young martial artists?"

This matter, he had sensed, was not simple.

"My investigation revealed that it was a mysterious organization called ‘Concordia’ that was lending money."

Concordance, meaning to help each other, but their real name, the Dark Business Community.

"The strangest thing is ……"

"What is it?"

"On their IOUs, there’s no repayment date."

"No interest and no repayment date? Wouldn’t the person who borrowed the money, then, renege on the debt?"

"That’s right, so some people, after borrowing money, continue to borrow money."

This is their usual trick, they deliberately let the borrower, keep borrowing money, and in the end, owe a huge amount of debt. Those young martial artists, although smart and clever, but after all, the world is not deep, where to fight these old cunning guys?

"They’re wrong, just because there’s no repayment date doesn’t mean it can be delayed indefinitely, it means that creditors can come to your door at any time and demand that you pay up."

What would you do if a debtor suddenly came to your door, pulled out all your IOUs, and demanded that you pay off all your debts at once?

If you are unable to pay them back, they will tear you apart and make all kinds of threats and persecution against you. They will reason with you and move you, and they will investigate all your weaknesses so that you have no way to escape. What’s more, what they lend you, is an interest-free loan, and you don’t have any reason, to refuse to pay it back.

"They used money and controlled the lives of those young martial artists. The purpose of their lending was not to recover the principal, but to use those young martial artists, to do things for them. They would lure those young martial artists, to the path of crime, in exchange for debt relief. As long as you make one mistake, you will never be able to escape their control."

Takayuki looked at me with admiration in his eyes.

No need to admire me, it’s not that I’m smart, but I’ve experienced it first hand. What’s really great, is you, that you have discovered this conspiracy.

Those in the underworld, using those young martial artists who owed debts, had done many bad things, and many innocent people, as a result, had lost their lives. There were also some young martial artists who were overwhelmed and chose to commit suicide.

It wasn’t until much later that people realized that the black hand behind all of this was the dark business community. They used money and played with people’s hearts with extremely cruel means.

They are more frightening than those loan sharks. Because they, always smiling, make people defenseless.

When they were listed as public enemies of the martial arts, their leader, and the other top brass, had long since fled with their enormous wealth.

"I’d really like to see how much money they have to play this game."

I understand what Gao Yue means, we are now short of money, if we can get rid of all these triads, it will solve our financial problems. He must be thinking that I have spent a lot of money in order to set up an intelligence network, so he is overjoyed.

"Since we are short of money, let’s borrow some from the gods."

I readily agreed, and Takayuki was all smiles.

"Can I tap into the intelligence network?"

"It’s not my intelligence network, it’s yours, and you’re solely responsible for it without reporting to me."

I gave him, absolute trust and power.

Takayuki nodded gratefully.

"Do a good job and show me what you can do."

"Yes!"

This was the first time that Takayuki had ever, acted independently.

The next plan, he will be in full charge, I just need to, at the critical moment, step in. It’s such a relief to have a capable assistant.

I returned to the room, only to see Devil Quan and Sect Leader Windy Sky, silently drinking tea, the atmosphere, very awkward.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Sect Leader Windy Sky said:

"We were talking about taking care of you."

"You guys talk shit about me every time and you’ll still take care of me?"

"If you don’t mix well, how else are we going to scold you?"

"You’re right."

Sect Leader Windy Sky’s mood, seemed to be much better. I looked at her, and then at Gao Yue, who was also at a loss.

It wasn’t until the evening that I realized why she was suddenly in a better mood.

The Wind and Sky Sect Master, using the Time and Space Soul Transfer Technique, created an illusion and brought me in. It was a sunny grassland, the scenery, very beautiful.

"Master!"

"Master? What did you call me?"

"Have you forgotten? We agreed that in this illusion, you are my master."

Sect Leader Windy Sky, is my teacher of the Time and Space Soul Shifting Technique, so I once said that in this illusion, I would call her Master.

"Ah, I remember."

Sect Master Windsky, however, did not show, the slightest bit of joy, but instead sighed.

"How are you?"

She said helplessly:

"I’ll be honest with you, when I found out that, Devil Quan took you as his disciple, I was really happy. I wasn’t happy because, you became master and disciple, but because, Demon Quan was also cheated by you, and I’m finally not, the only one, who was cheated by you."

Only she, of all people, would say such a thing.

"But then, I thought to myself, I’m your master too, and I was the first one to be tricked by you, not the Power Demon."

I couldn’t help but laugh.

"Are you mocking me?"

"How could I? You are my master."

"Laugh all you want."

"Godfather."

"What’s wrong?"

I looked at her, sincerely:

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you, for being there for me, and thank you, for being there for Takayuki."

"What are you talking about all of a sudden? I don’t have any money!"

Why are you saying this? Because, I want to cherish, the relationship with them. To see people, you have to be attentive, and to express feelings, you have to be attentive.

Say whatever comes to mind, and don’t wait, until it’s too late, to regret it.
