DanMachi: Starting with a Sword Soul Template

Chapter 149: This is a Super Cornucopia?

"Partners of justice? Naturally, I am not. The only reason I dealt with Tordo was that Tordo provoked my friend."

A light-hearted tone, yet its content narrated the reason for killing Tordo earlier.

Even though Liam was the main person responsible for turning Tordo into meat paste, he felt no psychological burden.

Too many humans had died at Liam's hands. Just one Tordo, he felt no psychological burden at all.

Shakti's expression was a bit complicated, "You know, the Ganesha Familia and the Adventurer's Guild have absolutely no management authority over these areas with extraterritorial rights."

"Mmm, I know. I don't care if you can manage it or not. At the very least, Tordo's years of crimes must be made public.

And my righteous deeds must be fully publicized."

Shakti sighed, "I can't say for sure. For the sake of you having upheld justice once again.

I can only say I will try my best to help you."

"By the way, just before this Familia expedition, I just broke through to Lv3. Now all my attribute ability scores have reached A.

So, I hope you can do your best to help me!"

Compared to Liam's speaking attitude, the content of what he said was clearly more explosive and exaggerated.

Shakti was stunned, "Such an obvious improvement? How much time did you spend this time? By the way, don't you want to know which floor this compulsory expedition requires you to go to?"

Liam stopped his footsteps, "Compulsory expedition? I almost forgot. I do need to know the mission floor number."

Shakti already didn't know what to say. What on earth was this guy thinking?

This was a compulsory expedition, not some child's play. He was actually so nonchalant. It was truly speechless.

"This compulsory expedition requires your Familia team to reach the 36th floor. And, you only have five days of preparation time."

Oh? Reach the thirty-sixth floor?

This floor number, if Liam wasn't there, wasn't it really a death sentence?

The thirty-seventh floor was the deep zone.

If Liam wasn't there, even with one or twenty Lv3 adventurers, there would likely be a risk of numerous casualties.

Inside, there was a floor lord whose strength far exceeded that of the two-headed dragon, Ouranos.

An ordinary twenty Lv3 adventurers, even if their cooperation was tacit, would probably be completely annihilated by Ouranos, right?

If conditions allowed, he was quite looking forward to fighting a powerhouse of this level.

Walking on the road back to the Familia home base, Liam turned to look at Ryuu Lion.

"Ryuu, after this incident, have you thought about changing your mind, for example, joining my Familia?

If it were you, I would naturally be one hundred percent welcoming. And Lady Hestia would most likely agree to you joining."

Ryuu Lion could clearly feel the lowliness of her own strength. Compared to Liam, the other party was clearly only Lv3, but he had strength far surpassing Lv4.

Coupled with him dealing with the Lv5 floor lord, the two-headed dragon, Ryuu Lion really wanted to join the other party's Familia.

Just thinking of her past experiences, now was not the best time to join.

Ryuu Lion very solemnly bowed to Liam in apology, "I'm sorry, I really want to join, but for some personal reasons.

Right now, I can't join you all."

Liam waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay. People change, one thought at a time.

Of course, my side will always welcome you to join.

So, shall we have a meal at The Hostess of Fertility restaurant together later? My treat."

Ryuu Lion stared at Liam's handsome face and finally nodded.

To be honest, she did have a pretty good impression of Liam.

Handsome, powerful, responsible, a very reliable man.

Liam thought of Ryuu Lion's past:

Her Familia was framed, leading to the death of all Familia members except Ryuu Lion. Later, she became blacklisted by the Guild for avenging her Familia members.

That is to say, as long as he didn't help Ryuu Lion solve her problem with the Adventurer's Guild.

Then Ryuu Lion would never be able to join another Familia.

Liam guessed that Ryuu Lion's true strength now was infinitely close to Lv5.

She had advanced to Lv4 five years ago, and her potential was on par with the Sword Princess.

Because her affiliated Familia was wiped out, her adventurer ability panel couldn't be updated until now.

There were more things to do.

After parting with Ryuu Lion, Liam sorted out his future plans in his mind:

Get back the key to the Grand Casino's treasury and the property deeds, and complete the forging of new armaments within five days.

Reach the 36th floor with the Familia members, completing the compulsory Familia expedition.

Advance to level 50 and awaken.

Increase the Familia's influence, settle the matter with the Adventurer's Guild regarding the flow of traffic, and accept her into the Familia.

There were a full four things to do. Liam decided to complete them in order.

Liam returned to the Familia home base and met with Goddess Hestia and everyone else.

Hestia worriedly threw herself into Liam's arms, "Liam, are you alright?

The whole of Orario is now spreading the news that you exposed and punished the operator of the Grand Casino.

The other party is suspected of human trafficking, selling prohibited drugs, etc. Are you really okay?"

The other members of the Familia also looked over at this time.

Liam briefly recounted the course of events, then looked at everyone happily.

"Everyone, our Familia now directly controls the Grand Casino!"

"Hooray! This is a real money tree! We can eat and drink without worry for the rest of our lives!"

Lili's eyes turned into the shape of sparkling gold coins, and she danced excitedly with a beaming face.

Mikoto, Cassandra, and Daphne also beamed with joy. Their originally worried emotions were filled with this great news.

While everyone was digesting this great news, Liam looked at Hestia again.

"Lady Hestia, I took the liberty of keeping thirty-six young women as employees of the Grand Casino.

If you feel it's inappropriate, you can dismiss some of them.

And those you feel are suitable, you can even promote them to be members of our Familia.

Of course, it's best to decide after careful consideration."

The adventurer template Hestia provided was one of his two core growth factors, so he absolutely didn't want to create a rift with her.

Besides, lying was completely useless in front of a goddess.

So, it was better to be honest.

Hestia thought of the current Familia members. Now, besides Liam, there were a full four women.

If they continued to add women, wouldn't her, Hestia's, competitiveness be further diminished?

No way!

"Ahem, Liam-kun. I know that improving the Familia's strength is very important, but the degree of cooperation between members is also very important.

So, recruiting new Familia members, I think, as you said, must be done with caution.

Of course, it's still the same sentence I said before.

The recruitment of new members for the Familia, I've already given you full authority. You can do it with confidence."

Although Hestia was a little jealous, she had already publicly stated before that personnel matters were all to be handled by Liam.

Those female employees at the Grand Casino, all had such painful and tragic experiences.

If they really had a strong sense of belonging to Liam and her Familia, then becoming Familia members was also acceptable.

Liam suddenly thought of Ryuu Lion, and those young women at The Hostess of Fertility.

"By the way, I also extended an invitation to Ryuu Lion today. Of course, the other party didn't agree.

But if she agrees, I can recruit her into the team, right?" Hestia naturally had a strong impression of Ryuu Lion, so her jealousy grew even greater.

This person's strength was very high, even higher than the current Liam.

"I said personnel is all up to you to arrange. So, shall we go eat and celebrate later?"

Mikoto nodded hurriedly. She had been training for a long time and had long needed to replenish her nutrition.

"Alright then, I'll invite my friends who participated in this operation."

Liam went to the Freya Familia's home base and called Bell out.

Hestia, on the other hand, led the Familia members to The Hostess of Fertility restaurant to meet up with Syr and Ryuu Lion.

Everyone enjoyed a rich and delicious meal at the restaurant.

Previously, it was to avoid the property deeds and keys from being confiscated by the Ganesha Familia.

So to thank the few of them, and to deepen their feelings, Liam naturally didn't feel the slightest bit of pain.

Not to mention, he had also directly obtained all the Valis and gold of the entire casino.

After eating and drinking their fill, Liam led Bell, Ryuu Lion, Syr, and Hestia and the others to the Grand Casino.

Hestia looked at the luxurious Grand Casino excitedly, "Liam-kun, Liam-kun.

Is this really our Grand Casino!"

"Yes, the Grand Casino is now our Hestia Familia's!"

Looking at such a magnificent Grand Casino, Hestia's eyes turned red, and she hugged Liam and started crying.

"Not long ago, we could only live in a basement. Liam-kun, thank you so much..."

Liam gently wiped away the young woman's tears, "Lady Goddess, our Familia's future will only be even better than now.

Please believe in you and believe in me, as well as everyone in our Familia!"

"Mmm!"

Although Hestia crying at the entrance of the Grand Casino was a loss of composure.

But everyone in the Familia, as well as the surrounding passersby, had no intention of laughing.

Liam's iconic demonic hand, there was no one in all of Orario who didn't recognize it.

Now, he was the biggest real power holder of the Grand Casino.

Then the one in Liam's arms was most likely his goddess, Lady Hestia.

After the goddess's emotions stabilized, Liam looked at Bell.

"Bell, I'm preparing to reform the Grand Casino. Of course, your thirty billion Valis, I will also give you the full amount."

Bell looked at Liam in a fluster, "Senior Liam, you're really too kind. Actually, I don't need that money."

He patted the other's shoulder, "I hope we can be comrades who can entrust our backs to each other.

Then, if I can eat meat, you should at least be able to drink soup."

Liam continued to walk forward, not giving Bell any chance to refuse.

He took out three one-thousand-Valis banknotes and handed them to the female receptionist at the entrance of the Grand Casino.

"Boss."

This receptionist happened to be one of the thirty-six young women who had stayed behind.

Her eyes were full of admiration and gratitude, and her gaze towards Liam was sparkling.

"Please trouble you to make a trip to the Freya Familia and tell them. Bell earned thirty billion Valis here.

He urgently needs a few bodyguards to transport the cash."

"Eh? No problem, I'll go right now."

Liam thought for a moment and handed his Grand Casino black card to the other party.

He wasn't worried that the other party would run away with the card. The Grand Casino was now completely his. As long as he didn't allow it, the black card was just an alchemy tool with a temperature-regulating function.

"With this card, they will believe you."

Liam led Bell towards the treasury. The entire treasury was all glittering!

In this exaggerated ocean of gold, Bell's breathing also became disordered.

"So much? So many gold coins?"

Liam nodded, "Yes, these are all gold coins made of pure gold. Not Valis, but real pure gold.

Each one has a diameter of two point five centimeters, and a thickness ranging from 0.53 millimeters to 5.3 millimeters.

Compared to exchanging for Valis, I think this real pure gold will be more helpful to you!

For example, to solidify your title of 'Lucky Rabbit'."

The reason Liam chose to publicize this matter so highly was also to let everyone know the credibility of the Grand Casino under his management.

Beside him were the young women employees, calculating the weight with precise scales.

Subsequently, Liam led the young women employees, Bell, and a total of thirty billion Valis worth of gold into the main hall of the Grand Casino.

The originally bustling casino hall immediately became so quiet you could hear a pin drop after Liam entered.

Liam looked at Bell and the female employees, "Come with me to the front desk."

"Okay."

"Yes!"

Bell's palms were sweating even more. Beside him was thirty billion worth of pure gold, and below the stage were the gazes of numerous gamblers.

Just then, the main gate of the Grand Casino opened.

The enchanting Goddess Freya walked at the forefront. Just by appearing, she focused the gazes of the many male gamblers present on her.

Following her were other members of her Familia, including the captain, vice-captain, commander, and others.

Liam looked at Freya with a chuckle, "Welcome, welcome, Lady Freya. I didn't expect you to come in person."

"That's right. I heard you were going to give our Lucky Rabbit Bell thirty billion in cash! This amount of money is not a small sum in any place.

So, we came to show our support.

And by the way, to take a look at the new operator of the Grand Casino, this super cornucopia—Sword Soul Liam."

Liam waved his hand, "The Grand Casino belongs to Lady Hestia, to the entire Hestia Familia. I am just the agent."

"Mr. Liam, you don't have to be so modest. Who doesn't know now that Hestia has fully entrusted you to manage the development direction of the entire Familia.

Respected Captain Liam?"

Not dwelling on this issue, Liam signaled the staff beside him to begin weighing the prepared gold coins in front of everyone present.

"This is the gold coins exchanged according to the current market rate of thirty billion Valis. Please check and receive."

A full thirty billion Valis in gold coins, its volume alone was a full six hundred thousand grams!

This was the weight of twelve 168cm tall, fifty-kilogram girls!

The glittering gold firmly locked everyone's gaze.

This was the charm of money!

Liam looked at this scene with a chuckle. The thirty billion Valis of gold in his treasury wasn't even one-fortieth used up.

However, the publicity had already far exceeded expectations...
