__________________________________________________________________________________

As Chrono looked outside, behind the sewers iron bars, he gritted his teeth as he felt helpless when he saw an army of a hundred men waiting outside of the sewers to catch him.

He tried to think hard to get out of this situation. Failure was not an option because it would deny over a month of his hard work of planning and preparing for this day.

He already succeed in half of his plan but only by succeeding in the other half of his plan would he have a chance to challenge the emperor seat.

If he fails now he may never have another chance after TerraNorth, aware of his threat, enhance their security. The only time to attack is now or never.

Some people will panic when in a pinch but for a select few, these kinds of situations will only enhance their fast thinking.

Thankfully Chrono was one of these people. Instead of panicking, he recalled what he had in his arsenal to find a way to get out of the situation.

"( There's no way I can beat them with weapons. My only hope is the grenade type bomb. Right now I have 'smoke grenade', 'fire grenade', 'piercing grenade' and 'paralyzing grenade'.)"

As Chrono looked for more option, he started to devise his escape plan. Chrono took his time to think since his pursuers couldn’t get into the small sewers. It was the only advantage he had for now.

"(I don't think 'smoke grenade' is effective against them with their experience. ‘Fire grenade' and ‘piercing grenade' aren't good either since their damage isn’t that high and it will also hit me if I’m in range.

Like fire and piercing, 'paralyzing grenade' will also hit me if I’m in range and it may not have an effect against warrior immunity skills. Besides, I can't just throw the grenade from here. It will be bad if I miss and waste my chance.......wait....I had that skill...)"

The fog in his head was cleared and Chrono finally saw his escape plan after he recalled what he had. Chrono checked his inventory looking for something and finally he found it. He smiled wryly because now escaping was possible.

"(I keep this food just in case, who knew it would be so useful in my escape)"

Petrified Candy:

Once swallowed, will get petrified status.Never use this candy as a Halloween gift!

*****

East of Chrono’s location lays 'Cranberry' headquarters, the biggest company at the 'North Continent' and the second biggest company in the world.

With the north continent harsh climate, only big clans such as 'TerraNorth' can afford to create an expedition group to explore the mines, land and treasure.

But since it was a 10 years old game, many mines, land and treasure were already discovered. But since 'TerraNorth' is the most aggressive and ambitious 'TerraFirma' clan, their behind the scene move was their main way to take over the mines and land from other company or clan.

Because of that, 'Cranberry', the company 'TerraNorth' created, hold 90% of the north continent riches, making it the richest company in the world with over 10 billion gold profit every year.

With the best management and backup from the biggest clan, the company stayed at the top by crushing any rising company trying to compete.

It was 5 A.M and the 'Cranberry' headquarters was still surrounded by the morning fog. Around the headquarters behind the thick fog, lay around 50 000 masked men holding their weapons as if they were ready to attack the headquarters.

Those men actually had no idea they were the essential pawns for Chrono to attack the company. As they stood around, one of the men talking with his friend besides him asked.

"This quest was the strangest quest I had in my 5 years playing this game. By standing here with the whole clan wearing the masks he created, will we really earn 1 gold each?"

"No, the condition was to take the pictures with the whole clan in it to get the gold and the mask. He said it was for the advertising purpose but I too think it was strange even for advertising."

"I see, so we actually need to wait for the fog to clear before we can take the pictures. But why here, I don't think the view here is the best."

"I don't know about that, but each one of us can easily get 1 gold and a high quality mask just by doing this."

******

In Mafoso, there was a gathering of high ranking merchants inside the merchant's guild’s building. These merchants gathered after one high ranking merchant summoned them a day before.

Usually this kind of summons will not pique their interest, but the person who summoned them was a highly respected merchant that they could trust that the gathering will make them gain profit.

Since everyone here was a high ranking merchant that loved profits, not a single person was absent and almost everyone arrived on time.

After everyone he summoned finally arrived, the person responsible for the summons walked on the podium and started his speech.

"Thank you for coming on such a short notice, but we have a dire situation on our hands. If we didn't act, out of ignorance, we will lose a huge sum of money and it wouldn't be strange if some of us even face bankruptcy."

Noticing the puzzled looks on the audience’s faces in front of him, the person continued.

"Before, I summoned you guys to discuss about how to gain profits by manipulating this and that. But tonight, I want to save all of you from a huge loss. Only by acting now will you be saved from it and after much thinking, I finally found a way to get out of this mess and I decided to share it with all of you."

The person was speaking with a lot of confidence and charisma making the merchants around him interested in what he tried to say. In their excitement, a merchant raised his hand to get permission to speak.

"Sorry for interrupting, but can you just cut the chase and just tell us your proposal?"

Hearing the merchant suggestion, the person smiled wryly as if he was thinking 'this is it.'

"As you all may already know, yesterday the 'Grand Fort' got robbed by an unknown person. The event made the company managing the 'Grand Fort', 'Ever Garden's stock plummet to rock bottom.

I'm sure some of you that have 'Ever Garden' stocks, already felt depressed because the stock that was supposed to be almost as expensive as 'Cranberry's stock price, became as worthless as the toilet paper."

Hearing this, the merchants around him whispered to each other and some of them nodded their heads in agreement. But one of the merchants started to speak his mind.

"Yes, it's true that we had a headache because of yesterday’s event, but the real reason was because most of us kept our fortune there, not because we were worried about 'Ever Garden's stock price. That company’s stock price will surely rise again too at least half of the price compared to what it was before."

He just smiled wryly when the merchant spoke, before he continued his speech.

"True, the price will rise again and it’s also true your real worry lays at your stolen fortune, but to get the 'Ever Garden' stock price up again, it will take at least 3 month.

I'm convinced most of you lost at least 80% of your overall fortune because of yesterday’s event. What you need right now is hard cold money that could be used to recover your business."

"I’m starting to have a bad feeling about this. What do you want us to do?"

Hearing the question, the person smiled again before he continued.

"Fortunately, I found a super-rich merchant that can help us get out of this mess. This merchant decided to use all of his fortune to buy all of your 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry' out of kindness."

Hearing this, the merchants around him started to whisper each other. The atmosphere started to get hotter and some of the merchants started to sweat, bewildered by the proposal. Ignoring them, the person continued.

"But no matter how big one’s fortune was, he can't buy the two most expensive stocks at the north continent from all of you.

That great man decided to buy 'Ever Garden' stock by 15% compared to its price before and for 'Cranberry' he decided to buy at 50% the price compared to its current price."

Hearing the outrageous proposal, one of the merchant cried out.

"I can fairly understand about ‘Ever Garden', but you want us to sell the highly priced 'Cranberry' stock at only 50% of its current price? That is outrageous!!"

The person smiled again hearing the disagreement left and right. But he was confident enough that his next remark will silence all the merchants in front of him.

"The 'Cranberry' price will stay on the top? Hmph! That would not last for long either. Like I said before, we had a dire situation.

The real reason I summoned you guys was because of the event that is about to happen shortly. I can assure all of you that the upcoming event will make the one from yesterday look like an ant sized event."

Once Fizz finished his speech, the room got silent. Yesterday, Chrono met him in real life to ask him to become his proxy and buy 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry' stocks.

Their first meeting wasn't a pleasant one, but when Fizz heard that Chrono accomplished the 'Ancient Merchant secret Quest' despite the odds and heard about Chrono’s plan, Fizz got interested.

As a merchant, he only knows profits, and his instinct told him that by following Chrono’s plan, he will gain a big profit.

**********

At the same time, in the chaotic town of Daisy.

An hour before, the town was, strangely, closed down. Scary looking users were everywhere, guarding the town. These users would kill any unauthorized person trying to enter.

Inside of the town hall, big shots from the underworld clan gather around the podium. Once everyone that was summoned arrived, a beautiful girl that was responsible for summoning these guys walk on the podium and tried to start her speech.

Before she could start talking, one of the underworld leaders spoke first.

"So.....Why did the super famous 'Devil Princess' summon us? Is something interesting about to happen? Or you finally decided to challenge the emperor seat and become our first empress?"

Bombarded by the question, Sitka just smiled while looking at the people around her with her dim red eyes. Just by smiling, some of the people around her started to blush, looking at her beautiful smile.

"Indeed, I summoned you guys because something interesting was about to happen. Right now, I act as a proxy for a person that decided to buy Ever Garden' stocks at 15% compared to its price before and 'Cranberry' stocks at 50% compared to its current price."

"........What? I didn't expect that, and the answer is no, regardless what will happen."

The only way to buy stocks was to choose a merchant class or to become the clan leader of the underworld clan. Chrono already assigned Fizz to convince the merchants to sell their stocks.

Sitka was assigned to buy the stocks from the underworld clan leaders. Unlike Fizz, Sitka didn't have a beautiful speech prepared but her persuasion skills were on par with Fizz.

Unlike merchants, underworld people acted on instinct. Reason was not effective against them. Sitka knew this and decided to make their instincts influence them.

"I decided to become the proxy of this person because I thought he could achieve greatness. For me, the 'Devil Princess' to bow my head to him means I acknowledge him as a great user. Someone great enough to challenge the emperor seats."

"Can that guy beat you in a fight?"

"Not right now since he still low level, but if he maxed his level like me, it's possible."

".......Tell us more about this person of yours and tell us what’s about to happen."

"Sure."

*****

Once Chrono was done devising his escape plan, without any hesitation, he jumped outside of the sewers, passing the iron bars with his skill.

'Shadow Ghost'

His pursuers got flustered for a moment because of his sudden movement but they immediately surrounded him while preparing to attack.

"Fool! You can't take on this many of us, not anymore!"

Chrono already got surrounded, but he still had his composure. Chrono cast 10 portals at the sky 25 meters above the ground. Each portal unleashed 'paralyzing grenade's, enough to make the whole hundred men squad hit by it, gain the paralyze effect.

"( I have 10 seconds before the bomb reaches the ground)"

Since it took time for the bombs to reach the ground, Chrono took out the users around him with 'Grave'. With his small goblin body stature, it was twice as hard for his opponents to hit him with their weapons. Chrono fought just to draw his opponents attention but he stroke every time he saw an opportunity.

It was 5:15 in the morning but it was still dark. Surrounded by the morning darkness, only the sound of the swords clashing between Chrono and his opponents could be heard.

Ting!! Ting! Ting!!

Ting!! Ting! Ting!!

Ting!! Ting! Ting!!

Once the bombs were about to reach the ground, Chrono swallowed the 'petrified candy' that he prepared in advance. In less than a second, his whole body turned to stone.

1

BZZZZTTT!!!!!

The whole 'Purpose' clan was hit by the 'paralyzing grenade', making them unable to move due to the paralyzing effect. The paralyzing effects would last depending on their immunity against paralyze effect but Chrono predicted they will stay paralyzed for at least a minute, even with their immunity.

Chrono’s body turned back to normal after 5 seconds. It was thanks to his 'Gourmet' skill that enabled him to recover from any bad status effects he gained by eating.

Since he was turned to stone, the paralyzing effect didn't hit him and he turned back to normal from the petrification status after 5 seconds.

Chrono ran as fast as he could once he turned back to normal. But as he was about to run, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine from his left sides. His instincts were proven true when an attack came from his side which he barely dodged.

When he was about to take a stand, another attack came from behind. Luckily he dodged that attack too by tumbling to the front.

"You guys again!"

"Unfortunate for you, both of us already completed our second job before."

"Hmph! It just takes 8 seconds for us to get out from the paralyzing state."

Without answering them, Chrono turned his back from both Jason and James and started running again. His plan was far more important than a battle of pride between him and the bounty hunters.

"Wha? Hey! Wait!"

"We know you have higher speed but you still can't outrun us. We have better stamina!"

"What am I? A noob like you guys? Thorin!"

Chrono opened the portal again. With the intermediate level of ‘Ancient merchant secret' skill, he could summon his

belongings outside of the warehouse. Since Thorin was one of his belongings, summoning him was possible.

"ROAR!!"

Chrono jumped on Thorin’s back to ride him. With Thorin’s speed, Chrono managed to leave both Jason and James far behind him.

"Hhahaha!! So long sucker!"

But Jason and James still didn't give up. Instead of despairing, they looked at each other while grinning.

"James, remember back when we were rookies and we had to chase a robber’s car?"

"Yeah, we took "shortcuts" by jumping 50 feet hills. Crazy days."

"We can still do it right?"

"I was just about to ask you that!"

Instead of pursuing Chrono using the normal roads, Jason and James ran through the thick forest and took shortcuts. Since they already knew Chrono's destination, they could use the shortest route with confidence.

Jason and James jumped hills and went through thick bushes and monster packs. Along the way they received some damage but they were still determined in their pursuit.

*Huff* *huff*

"We finally arrived. It seems that guy still hasn't arrived."

"Yeah, *huff* finally we can catch him."

After a mere 10 seconds the figure of drake and a man come in their sights, but instead of a mere goblin, the one riding the drake was a man wearing a skull mask.

"We were right! It was him!"

Looking at Jason and James determination, Chrono started seeing them in a new light. A part of him already admired them, but since they were enemies he couldn't show his admiration.

"(They were amazing until now but why did they repeat the same mistake again? I guess they are smart but prone to repeat mistakes when they get excited.)"

Without saying a word, Chrono unleashed 'spear barrage' at both of them without closing the distance. Jason and James still had 80% of their health, but by running through those obstacles without stopping, their stamina already reached its limits.

Right now, they couldn't dodge the 'spear barrage' coming from Chrono’s direction. In a matter of seconds, their bodies were like a pin cushions.

"Arrgh!! I can't believe we did the same mistakes!"

"But it was the only way for us to catch up with him."

By riding Thorin, Chrono charged in front of them to finish them with 'Grave'.

"Try again later, interesting noobs."

Once he was done, Chrono dashed again with Thorin to reach his destination. In the face of death, Jason and James started to chat while they waited for their avatars to actually disappear.

"Jason, I just remembered what happened the day we chased the car."

"Yeah, we were admitted in the hospital for a month after the robbers shot us with their guns."

"We manage to catch up with the car but we were outnumbered and too tired to fight."

"After 10 years we did the same mistake again."

"But...''

Both Jason and James were grinning at each other as their avatars were about to disappear.

"It was fun fighting him!"

"Yeah, let’s hang out after this. We have 24 hours before we can log in again."

A new special relationship between Chrono , Jason and James was born....

****

As Chrono rode on Thorin, he received a system messages.

Your proxy managed to buy 5% of the 'Ever Garden' stock market. You now owned 5% of the 'Ever Garden' Stocks.

"(It starting, I need to be faster.)"

His comrades already started to move. If Chrono didn't get at the destination on time, the plan would fail. His efforts and his comrade’s efforts would be in vain if the plan ended up in a failure.

"Please run faster Thorin."

"ROAAR!!"

As if it understood its master, Thorin ran as if his life was on the line. .

*****

City of merchant, Mafoso

"Why did you sell your stock to him? That stock would definitely rise again later."

"Yeah, I know that, but I need the money right now to recover my business. If I didn't do this, I would go bankrupt in three days."

Once Fizz managed to persuade a few merchants to sell their stocks, other merchants started to sway a little and some of them already reconsidered whether they should sell the stocks or not.

Seeing this, Fizz once again had his speech to persuade more merchant to sell their 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry' stocks.

" Yesterday’s event was significant enough to make the north continent currency to raise due to the shortage of gold, silver and bronze coin. The estimated money stolen from the 'Grand Safe' was no less than 10 billion gold coins."

Using his knowledge as a merchant, Fizz continued his speech with confidence.

"This means there will be a shortage of 10 billion coins in this continent making the value of our currency to rise. I predict the market price around the continent would drop for at least 3 month.

At this time, merchants with actual money will benefit most because it was the best time to buy goods and trade it later when the market price returned to normal."

Hearing Fizz speech, the eyes of the merchants around him got wider. It was possible that the thing Fizz spoke off could happen and at the thought of the future profits, some of the merchant already took out their stocks share.

The merchants around Fizz started to discuss with each other to analyze the situation. What Fizz told them was the best occasion that would happen but they needed to make sure whether their decision would backfire or not.

"By having money we can buy the goods en mass when the market price plummets and sell it again after the market returns to normal, which means having money right now, no matter how little, would produce more benefits then stocks share."

"But having both company stocks is better in the long run! Not to mention the dividend every year would give us steady income."

"Those things only work when you have a lot of money and you want to have some side income. Right now some of us even face of bankruptcy! Those stocks dividend can't do shit to revive our business."

"I decided to sell my "Ever Garden" stocks and keep my "Cranberry' stocks."

"But if what Fizz told us is true, that something about to hit 'Cranbery' and make its stocks plummet rock bottom, it's better to sell the stocks now and buy it later once it reached rock bottom. The stocks would rise again due to 'TerraNorth's support and we will have triple, no quadruple the benefits!"

The discussion between the merchants heated up and Fizz just smiled watching them. Some of the merchants already come to him to sell their stocks but higher ranking merchants that still had money in their reserve didn't budge. Instead, they watched silently while thinking carefully.

When the other merchants already sold out their stocks, the higher ranking merchants, the continents top ten richest merchants, started to move and spoke to him.

"We will decide once we actually see this big event that you talk about."

The speaking merchant was Samir, the second richest merchant in the north continent. He was the greatest ally of the 'TerraNorth' and seeing their stocks attacked didn't please him.

He tried to ask his allies to contact Roshan so that he can defend against this attack but once he heard Roshan was killed less than 2 hours ago, he realized this scheme was deeper than he thought.

Samir realized someone orchestrated this and that someone was fearless enough to attack 'TerraNorth' the branch clan of 'TerraFirma, the current emperor's clan.

As a merchant he didn't have any friends or foes, only loss and profits. Samir would never hesitate to change sides if he found out that the perpetrator was worthy person.

He decides to wait and watch how the man behind this scheme would trample on 'Cranberry', the biggest company in the north continent.

Selling his stocks share meant changing sides and 'TerraNorth' would surely treat him as their enemy, but by not selling his stocks, he may end up gaining an enemy scarier than the whole 'TerraNorth' clan.

Fizz also realized it was harder for the higher ranking merchants to sell their stocks since 'TerraNorth' would surely treat them as enemies later on but nothing was scarier for a merchant than the loss of profits and Fizz decide to pressure them.

"Sure, you guys can wait but from now on I will only buy 'Ever Garden' stocks at 10% from its peak priced and 35% from its original price for 'Cranberry' stocks."

"What? That is outrageous!!"

"That’s how confident I am that you guys will still sell those stocks even with the lower prices and I may drop the buying price again or may not decide to buy at all later."

"Hmph! Fine! Let us see this event of yours!"

"( 5:45, I think the fog already cleared a bit.)"

Using his high level artifact, 'world's orb' that can broadcast the live event of any place in the world as long he already placed a special broadcast drone at the place..

"Behold! The clan that stayed in the shadows for god knows how long, the 'Masked' clan!."

The 'world's orb' opened a huge screen broadcasting the surrounding area of the 'Cranberry' headquarters. There was a mass of fully armed users around the headquarters. The estimated amounts of these men were still vague since the fog still not fully cleared.

As if they carefully prepared a plan, their formations were spread out in an odd manner making it seem as though they had something up their sleeve.

The day after Roshan visited the 'Grand Safe' was supposed to be a vacation day and they picked the time when most of the staff were sleeping in the real world.

'Cranberry' headquarters was not as heavily guarded as the 'Grand Fort' since attacking the headquarters would make you gain nothing except 'TerraNorth's wrath.

Seeing this, Samir and the other high ranking merchants started to sweat before they asked Fizz on what was going on.

"What a crazy clan! Attacking the headquarters only will bring 'TerraNorth' wrath!!"

Seeing how the higher ranking merchants got flustered, Fizz started to explain.

"It is a grudge against 'TerraFirma', or rather the emperor. My Intel told me that yesterday’s event was not the end. That 'Masked' clan would not stop until they made the 'TerraNorth' perish.

As you can see, their strategy was to attack 'TerraNorth's income first before they made their actual attack, but unfortunately their war strategy directly affected us, the merchants."

"Huh! I'm not a kid! I smell something fishy going on and I'm sure the one asking you to buy the stocks, the one responsible for yesterday robbery and the one behind the current attack is the same person! If that person already wasted his money to buy the stocks there's no way he will attack 'Cranberry' headquarters."

Fizz closed his eyes at the merchant’s remarks. It was the truth he couldn't hide from the experienced merchants. He couldn't belittle the continent’s top ten merchants abilities to think. There was a reason why they had their current position.

"I only act as the proxy of an unknown merchant. I don't know the exact details, but I can assure you that that man was a true merchant.

Like you said, the chain of events until now was orchestrated by him. His plan was simple, it was to gained all 60% of 'Cranberry' and 'Ever Garden' stocks.

He wanted to buy the stocks right now when its price was at its highest out of kindness as a fellow merchant. He actually could just attack the headquarters and buy the stocks when its price reached rock bottom.

He would just attack the headquarters shortly after if I didn't succeed buying all the stocks from you guys. The result would be the same, you guys would sell the stocks to him since now was the best time to gained profit by mass buying the goods."

"That.....that sounds like a threat! Are you trying to threaten us?"

"Like I said, I'm just an acting proxy."

As Fizz finished his explanation, 2 merchants came in front while holding their stocks.

" I, I would like to sell you these stocks...."

"Hey wait! Don't dance in his hand, using a threat to buy our stocks? What’s the different between you and a lowly criminal?"

"But.....we can't do anything about this. Besides, we can't just ignore the profits we would gain once the market price drops."

Ignoring the opposing merchants, Fizz finishes the transaction with the two merchant that were willing to sell their stocks. After he was done, Fizz continued pressuring the other merchants.

"From now on I will buy 'Ever Garden' stocks at 5% from its peak priced and 25% from its original price for 'Cranberry' stocks."

The stakes got higher and by pressuring the merchants, Fizz got closer to buying all the stocks from his fellow merchants.

****

Your proxy managed to buy 45% of the 'Ever Garden' stock market. You now owned 45% of the 'Ever Garden' Stocks. Your proxy managed to buy 40% of the 'Cranberry' stock market. You now owned 40% of the 'Cranberry' Stocks.

"(Great work guys. Now it’s my turn.)"

As Chrono went on the final dash with Thorin, he moved Thorin to jump to the tallest cliff around. Under the setting moon and the dawn light, Chrono stood gallantly at the tallest cliff while riding on Thorin’s back and wearing his skull mask.

He wore a red robe as if to represent the reaper while his right hand held the heavy spear making him look like the great generals of the past.

Chrono looked around to analyze the situation. He predicted by now that the 'army' around him already got discovered by the enemy.

The army from TigerB from the west and the main army from 'TerraNorth' headquarters from the east would converge here shortly after they heard about the 'Cranberry' headquarters got surrounded by an unknown army.

"(TigerB army and 'TerraNorth' army would come at about the same time since 'TerraNorth' headquarters is close by.)"

****

In the chaotic town of Daisy.

After they saw the legendary figure, the skull mask, the underworld clan leaders started to get flustered. They didn't budge when they saw the army since their experience told them that it was impossible for that kind of army to raid 'Cranberry' headquarters without getting annihilated by the 'TerraNorth' army which was close by but the presence of the skull mask, an unknown figure between merchants but a infamously, highly skilled user between Emperor saga's warrior users.

Slaying a hundred users in one night was not a rare thing in Emperor Saga's long history. But slaying hundred higher level users with tactics and skill alone was only done by skull mask alone.

For a man of his caliber, it was not strange to raid the 'Cranberry' headquarters while beating the assisting army no matter how small an army he commanded.

".......Skull Mask!!"

Once she realized all the underworld clan leaders recognizing Chrono as Skull Mask, Sitka started her persuasion.

"The 'Mask' clan is full with highly skilled people. You guys may already know the skull mask, but did you know the one responsible for yesterday’s event and the one responsible for the stocks attack are from the same clan?"

Like Fizz, Sitka used lies and deception to convince her audience. She didn't want to tell them it was the same person since she wanted to make it look like the bogus 'mask clan' was in fact a superpower hidden clan.

"Every masked man you saw on the screen has almost the same ability as the skull mask. They all have their own specialty that is great enough to shake the Emperor Saga's world."

"What you said was impressive and all but we can't tell if you're lying."

As Sitka heard the words, she took out a knife from her pocket before she threw it out on the ground near the underworld clan leaders.

"I'm sure you guys want to see something interesting. Sell it to me, those stocks, and you will see one of the most historic moments of Emperor Saga. If there’s someone who’s not satisfied with what will happen next, they can kill me with that knife."

Hearing Sitka remarks, all of the clan leaders’ eyes widened. All of them knew that for max level users like Sitka, getting killed was a serious thing since the 5 level she would lose would take no less than 6 month to get back with a normal grinding.

"You know what would happen if you died, right?"

"I dare to say that I'm one of the best players around and I wouldn’t do noob mistakes."

".......I would like to sell these stocks."

"Me too."

****

City of merchant, Mafoso.

"From now on I will buy 'Ever Garden' stocks at 3% from its peak priced and 15% from its original price for 'Cranberry' stocks."

Fizz kept pressuring the left over merchants. He had a calm face but inside, he already got anxious. The 'Mask' clan was a bogus clan, since only Chrono at the 'Cranberry' headquarters knew what was going on.

The other 50 thousand masked users had no idea what was going on. They just stood there and waited for the fog to clear up so that they could take the picture to complete their quest.

Since merchants always lived with lies and deception, fooling a merchant was harder and in front of Fizz was the top ranking merchant in north continent.

The one opposing him the most, Samir, kept on seeing through his lies. Fizz realized he couldn't persuade these merchants with normal methods and decided to change his tactics.

"The ambitious man behind me is a man that’s trying to challenge the emperor and today is the deciding factor in whether he can actually oppose the emperor or not.

Profits or not, you guys need to choose your side NOW. You guys can be happy as the continent’s top ten merchants or support that man and become one of the fighting forces of the next Emperor.

Continent’s top ten merchant or take a gamble on that man ambitions. The wheel of fate already moved and your choice right now may change your life in Emperor Saga forever."

"How do I know if that man of yours actually worthy to challenge the emperor?"

" The merchant has the best instinct when it comes to judging a man. Just believe in your merchant instinct. In my opinion someone who has the brains and browns is definitely worthy."

"So it's the usual ‘play safe or take the risk’ choice. Usually I'm the ‘play safe’ type but this time my heart told me to take the risk."

"For a great merchant striving for a greater high is a basic thing. Count me in too."

"All or nothing, I got to this position by using that motto."

*****

Your proxy managed to buy 60% of the 'Ever Garden' stock market. You now owned 60% of the 'Ever Garden' Stocks. By owning 60% of the 'Ever Garden' stocks, you gain the ownership of the 'Ever Garden' company Your proxy managed to buy 60% of the 'Cranberry' stock market. You now owned 60% of the 'Cranberry' Stocks. By owning 60% of the 'Cranberry' stocks, you gain the ownership of the 'Cranberry' company

As Fizz and Sitka finally managed to buy all 60% stocks of the 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry', Chrono smiled behind his skull mask. Now he could precede his plan to the next phase.

"( Now, time for the real raid!!)"
