Refund! Can't Brazil play?! They got beaten 7:1?"
At 11 PM, the World Cup semi-finals concluded: Germany 7, Brazil 1.
From the room next door came a heartbreaking roar.
The match was over, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Inside the room, Daniel looked at the result on the TV and let out a long breath.
"I bet right... Three hundred twenty-five million in hand..."
Daniel muttered.
Earning over three hundred million in just half a day was something he dared not imagine in his previous life.
In a sports lottery shop, the owner and some regular customers stared at the result on the TV, falling into an eerie silence.
"It really is 7:1..."
A regular customer said in disbelief.
"That young man from earlier predicted it correctly. That's unbelievable!"
"Could he be a Reincarnator?"
"Ahhh! I only followed with one hundred Dollars and only earned a few thousand! I lost out big time!"
"I... missed out on a master."
The shop owner felt immense heartache. "Beep beep beep!"
In the hotel, Daniel's phone rang.
"Alexa?"
Daniel's eyes flickered, and he answered the call.
"Daniel, what are you doing! If I didn't call you, would you not even think to contact me?"
As soon as the call connected, Alexa began her interrogation.
"Then... let's break up..."
"Snap!"
Daniel hung up the phone, completely ignoring Alexa's questions.
"Once I enter the game... it will be time for the reckoning!"
... The next day, Daniel cashed his lottery ticket at the sports lottery center.
After tax deductions, he received three hundred twenty-five million!
By the time Daniel returned to the hotel, it was already seven in the evening.
"Over three hundred million... it's still not enough. I need more money!"
Inside the hotel, Daniel's eyes gleamed.
Over three hundred million was still short of the one billion Old William had mentioned.
"Should I call him?"
Daniel thought of a person.
Since he was a Reincarnator, making money using future information was simple.
Currently, he knew several methods that could double the money he held.
He was contemplating which method was the safest and quickest.
"Old Demon... International information dealer... part-time intermediary... one of the major merchants in the later stages of the game 'godfall'... Why not go big and aim for ten billion!"
Daniel pondered for a moment, left the hotel, and used a public phone booth on the street to dial a number.
"Doo doo doo..."
"Hello?"
A hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.
"Old Demon, I'm buying three hundred million in Dog Te shares. Help me manage the transaction, and I'll give you a 10% commission."
Daniel stated his demand.
"Huh? Brother, who are you?"
Old Demon on the other end was extremely surprised.
"You don't need to know who I am. I just need you to handle the transaction. Give me your account number. Buy Dog Te shares; they must be purchased before midnight tonight."
Daniel continued.
"Brother, are you kidding me? I don't even know who you are."
Old Demon was slightly annoyed; the person on the phone was truly impolite.
"The matter concerning the Gete Group, where you played both sides—do I need to continue?"
Daniel said.
This Old Demon fellow was very capable, but he wasn't very honest. He double-crossed the Gete Group, leading to its bankruptcy.
Daniel had heard about this incident from Old William.
"Who exactly are you!"
This time, Old Demon's tone was panicked.
The Gete Group had connections everywhere, and now, due to the bankruptcy, a warrant had been issued in the underworld. If anyone found out he was the culprit, he would have nowhere to hide!
"You don't need to know who I am. Remember, I'm giving you a 10% commission, and in three days, at least one billion will be delivered!"
Daniel said calmly.
"You!... My account number..."
Old Demon originally wanted to get angry, but upon hearing Daniel's terms, he obediently provided his account number.
A few minutes later, all three hundred twenty-five million was transferred to Old Demon's account.
Daniel wasn't worried about Old Demon absconding with the money; besides the Gete Group leverage, Daniel knew three other secrets about him.
In front of Daniel, Old Demon was full of flaws!
On the third day, the news was broadcasting on TV.
"Next is breaking international news. According to local media reports, Prince Gotham, the eldest prince of the Europe Continent Royal Family, was involved in a plane crash due to improper operation while aboard his private jet. The plane hit a mountain and exploded. Prince Gotham has been rushed to the hospital for treatment, but experts predict his chance of survival is extremely low..."
Daniel watched the news on TV, his eyes flickering.
"Continue waiting for the wind to come..."
At this moment, the outside world had gone crazy.
Prince Gotham was a member of the Royal Family, but he also held an important identity: he was a major shareholder of Dog Te shares, holding over fifty billion in stock.
Dog Te shares were a very special type of stock, similar to BTB in his previous life, and their quantity was limited.
The private key for the Dog Te shares held by Prince Gotham was known only to himself!
At three in the afternoon, Prince Gotham was pronounced dead after resuscitation failed.
The fifty billion in Dog Te shares he held fell into permanent dormancy!
Because of this incident, Dog Te shares immediately skyrocketed by 50 times!
On the street, Daniel dialed Old Demon's number again.
"Doo doo doo..."
The call didn't connect.
"Did he run away?"
Daniel frowned slightly.
He had bought over three hundred million in Dog Te shares last night. Multiplied by fifty times, that was over sixteen billion!
With such a massive amount of money, few people wouldn't be tempted.
"Hello!"
Old Demon's call connected.
"Transfer the money to my account. I'll give you a 10% commission and an additional 10% service fee. I need to see the money before 12 PM tomorrow."
Daniel spoke straightforwardly.
"It's you... Aren't you afraid I'll run?"
Old Demon's tone was low. When he learned that Dog Te shares had actually increased by 50 times, he had already considered running away.
"Besides the Gete Group incident, I know about you sleeping with your sister-in-law and cuckolding Earl John. Where do you think you can run?"
"Holy crap! Who exactly are you?! How do you know about that?"
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Old Demon's body.
Only he and his sister-in-law knew about this matter; he couldn't understand how a third person knew.
"You don't need to talk so much nonsense. I've been watching you."
Daniel's words made Old Demon's hair stand on end.
It was truly terrifying that an unknown person knew so many of his secrets.
"My commission can be 10 points, but the service fee is too low. It's simply impossible!"
Safely transferring the money to Daniel's account required many steps.
"I think you can figure out a way yourself. Thank you."
Daniel ignored Old Demon and hung up the phone directly.
The fourth day.
"Bank card number ***655 has received 13,000,000,000 Dollars. Available balance: 13,000,000,000."
The text message arrived; Old Demon's money had been transferred.
This was an anonymous bank card, valid for only five days, ensuring Daniel's information couldn't be traced.
"It has arrived. Next step: head to Manchester City!"
... Manchester City.
At this moment, the entire city was enveloped in pitch-black mist, silent and still, as if the whole city were asleep.
Ten miles outside the perimeter, there were hundreds of police cars.
They were fully armed, watching Manchester City warily.
Further out were military personnel, and even tanks.
"Captain, I think I just saw someone enter Manchester City!"
The panicked voice of an officer came through the walkie-talkie.
"What? What the hell were you doing? How did you let someone enter Manchester City? Wait, is that person crazy?"
The Chief was horrified.
"I just went to relieve myself, and when I turned around, I saw a figure walking into Manchester City."
"Quick, turn on your phone! Let me see!"
The officer started a video stream.
They saw a man near Manchester City, cloaked in a black robe. He spread his arms, seemingly wanting to embrace the black mist!
"Lunatic! This is a lunatic! Getting close to the black mist will get him swallowed! Does he not value his life?"
The Chief cursed loudly.
Everyone else watched the man in the video with faces full of dread.
Daniel looked at the black mist that was within reach, the corner of his mouth curving slightly.
"I... have arrived!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The black mist felt provoked and began to churn incessantly.
"Swoosh!"
The next second, Daniel was swallowed by the black mist!
