Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

```

But besides being a double champion of Divine Selection and a double Legend, Malin was also the husband of Sydney, the Grand Duchess of the Union, and the Queen of Farol Principality. He owned the largest conglomerate on the continent. If he claimed he could produce so much, then Sergei would feel it was best to assume Malin indeed could bring that much.

Because it was highly likely that Malin would only bring out more supplies and then crash the price of all the expensive goods in Copenhagen into cheap items.

During this process, Malin would certainly make a tidy profit, as to maintain the prices, Sergei’s friends would undoubtedly invest their all until overwhelmed by the massive goods.

For Sergei, maybe starting from today, he might no longer make as much money every day, but if he and his old friends stood together, then Sergei couldn’t afford to gamble his fortune—there’s a joke in Copenhagen, Paul Olin, the richest man in the city, encountered Malin last week. He invited Malin to play billiards, offering 100 Mowish per ball. Malin smiled and shook his head.

A hundred is too little. Let’s add a zero.

Today at the table, Paul Olin even personally confirmed this joke was true, and he lost miserably; he and Malin played just one game, and after Malin learned the rules, he cleared the table in one go, 147 points, Paul lost 147,000.

Look, why would a top-tier wealthy man think of playing such a skill-demanding game with a double Legend? You think a Legendary Mage and a Legendary Psychic couldn’t outplay you? Sorry, you are thinking too much. Malin’s sequence as a Sword Dancer is at least master-level, and very possibly just half a step away from Legendary.

With such strength, such wealth, in Sergei’s view, it is absolutely impossible to choose to fight against Malin. It’s not a multiple choice question; it’s a life-threatening one.

And the most fatal thing is, in his view, his old friends have already made their choice.

They... chose to doom themselves.
