Chapter 441. The Fatty's Fortune
"Haaa, haaa, haaa! Thank goodness I ran away quickly! Otherwise, those monsters surely would have killed me. What did they take me for? Their master clearly told them to listen to me and work under me! But those bastards actually dared to launch an attack in my direction?
Those bastards wanted to use that stranger's name to get rid of me when I completed all the work, so they could take credit? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Do they really think I couldn't under their small tricks?"
"Just wait, I'll call Master Fizz... Fizzle... What the f*ck was that guy's name, damn it? Why in the hell are all those guys' names so weird and long? Couldn't their parents have found easy-to-pronounce names?"
The fatty cursed angrily while wiping sweat from his forehead as he ran towards the exit. But because the so-called Master's name was stuck in his mind, he tried hard to recall it. Two minutes later, he couldn't hold back his inner struggle anymore. He stopped, took a few dozen heavy breaths, almost fell on the ground in exhaustion and pulled out a notebook from his storage pouch.
"Ahh, there it is... Master Fizzlewiggle Wigglybottom. This guy's parents were definitely insane!
What were they thinking when they gave their child this kind of name as if they were venting their anger on him?" The fatty muttered while shaking his head, the entire notebook was filled with all kinds of information from minor to important, which fatty seem fear that he might forget so he noted down, was quite good indeed, at least his killer would surely praise him for his this action, which saved them a lot of time, to dig out his secrets.
"Maybe they didn't want to have a child, but it happened accidentally while they were connected physically, and this guy came into the world. Since none of them wanted him, they might have thrown a random weird name at him to vent their anger before throwing him out like trash?"
"Hmm, that makes quite a bit of sense," The fatty nodded while rubbing his thick chin thoughtfully. He continued, still not realizing who he was talking to. "But even so, how did they come up with this kind of weird name...?"
Finally, the fatty came to his senses, and his entire body began to tremble as he realized someone was standing behind him. While gulping down saliva, he dropped his notebook, and magic lamp in his hands.
Holding his bracelet tightly, he turned his head around, but to his surprise behind him was nothing but thick darkness and a long corridor like the mouth of a monster, ready to devour everything in it.
"Huh? Am I hallucinating because of fear? However, that voice seemed a bit too real," The fatty couldn't find anything behind him. He calmed down a bit and muttered confusedly.
However, just when he was about to pick up his magic lamp from the ground and hurriedly wanted to get out of this creepy corridor, a milky white transparent head of a certain person he least wanted to see emerged from the ground. Its eyes were wide open, and its tongue hung out as if someone had choked it to death.
Both the fatty and Myne, who had been pretending to be a ghost, stared at each other. Then, Myne saw the fatty's soul leaving his body through his mouth. With a thud, his mountain-like body fell down on top of him and the magic lamp, and he passed out without any kind of nonsense.
"Tsk, is that it? This guy didn't hesitate to torture his own wife inhumanely, but he actually got scared unconscious just by seeing a ghost? What a great disappointment. It seemed like I was taking him so seriously in vain, thinking that he was some kind of mentally killed psychopath who didn't fear death. But anyway, it's good for me.
Saved me some trouble," Myne muttered while coming out of his ghost form, shaking his head.
The first thing Myne did was, of course, kick the fatty hard on his bulging belly to vent his uncontrollable anger before kneeling beside him and starting to do what he was best at: looting. He moved his hands on his body and easily found the fatty's storage pouch, hanging on his neck.
The storage pouch looked ordinary from the outside but was as big as 300 cubic meters on the inside – the biggest storage pouch Myne had ever seen. The storage pouch was not only unimaginably big but also fully filled.
There was a mountain of gold and silver coins, three large chests (8.3 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches) with 90-degree hinged lids filled with platinum coins, a small metal box (9.1 x 9.1 inches) that was locked with a special enchantment, and even Myne's ghost form couldn't peek inside it.
Except for the mountains of money, which the fatty surely got from those weirdos as he himself didn't have the capital to get them, there was a small corner in the pouch filled with the fatty's daily necessities.
These included two wardrobes full of his size clothes, various kinds of expensive wines (the golden one that made Alex so angry he'd literally start fighting with Myne was the most abundant among them), dried fruits, his magical flying carpet, and many more things that Myne ignored for now, moving on to other things as he didn't have time to inspect them calmly.
Sadly, it seems the fatty's weird hobby was only torturing people, and he didn't like collecting things from his victims like Myne, who liked to collect all his girls' wet panties on special occasions, such as when he was having sex with them for the first time or special events like when he and Sylphy went on a date, etc.
Half of the storage pouch was filled with those strange black stones used to create the corridor Myne was currently standing in. However, only now, when he saw their raw part did he realise that they looked like stone but were metal. However, their mysterious properties were very similar to rock.
If you didn't see their raw shape, it was indeed hard to tell if they were metal or stone after they were shaped.
"Hmm, now I understand where he got so much money," Myne thought while rubbing his chin, "But who did he sell this much metal to? With my cheap father-in-law's personality, it's nearly impossible to get that much money out of him. It might be other kingdoms then."
Myne continued inspecting the treasure pouch. The fatty's wealth was far beyond his imagination.
Besides the mountain of raw black metal, there were also other types of unknown minerals, gems, various silvery substances, and so on. If Myne wasn't mistaken, those things might have been used to make the altar and portal doorway, so obviously their value was highest.
Last, there was a mysterious tome made of what seemed like hume skin and locked by a demotic hand and was covered in a pink flame, now floating in the middle of the pouch. Just by looking at it, anyone with a normal mind would know it was best to stay away. This time, Myne didn't seek his own death by smashing his empty head with unknown things.
He decided to bring it to Maya; she had more knowledge about those kinds of things.
Finally, after sorting through the storage pouch, Myne first transferred everything valuable inside his own inventory, except for the creepy tomb, mysterious box, and obviously the fatty's personal belongings. He decided to check those carefully when he had free time before taking the useful things and throwing out the useless ones.
[ Money: Platinum Coin (105,544) Gold Coins (265,115) Low-grade Mana Stone (2) Low-grade Soul Stone (1) ]
"Sigh, what a great windfall!" Myne muttered with tears of happiness in his eyes. "Who would have expected this useless-looking fatty to be so damn rich? I can say while betting my little brother, that even my cheap father-in-law might not have this much money in his personal account. Now at least I don't have to worry about clan-building construction."
"I can pay my mother-in-law in one go and leave all the mess on her head without any worry. With her character and our special relationship now, she'll surely do her best to create her new home... Maybe I can ask her to build a hidden room just for us, so we can have as much time as we want without anyone finding us? Yes, this is quite a good idea. I'll talk about it to her tomorrow."
"But now, let's focus on the most important thing," Myne muttered and looked at the fatty with a dangerous, bloodthirsty gaze. But then his eyes fell on the fatty's wrist, which adorned a red magical bracelet.
Without any hesitation, Myne reached out and wanted to take it as well, but just as his finger touched the bracelet, it started shining brightly. With a loud boom, Myne was thrown away like a rag doll and hit hard against the wall behind him, almost losing consciousness.
"Cough, cough, f*ck! What the hell?" Myne spoke painfully while rubbing the back of his head. "This thing also has a self-defence protocol to prevent theft? Just how much did those weirdos care about the fatty that they were willing to give him such a valuable thing? This isn't right. I might have to dig out all those secrets from the fatty.
This bastard surely has something on him which valued by those guys."
Cursing and throwing all the blame on the fatty, Myne grabbed his leg and started dragging him out of the corridor.
