Chapter 2140 Behind the Scenes Deal
The big round zero started changing rapidly, it turned into one, two, four, five, six digit number and finally it reached seven digits before it slowed down. Even then, the number moved up.
The manager's gaze is locked on the first digit. His heart tightened as it grew slowly.
1…
2…
4…
6…
And that is when the first digit stopped moving, soon the second digit, the third, fourth, finally when the number appeared.

He gulped hard. That is gold coins. It is not like the exchange center doesn't have the reserves for it, instead, he is worried that if a single theory can draw so much, what would happen when he appraised all of them?
He also noticed the time taken for the appraisal, it is much longer when compared to appraising a theory on paper. This video is taking longer. Maybe the format is one of the reasons for it and the complexity could be another.
No matter, he knew that he is going to spend a long long time in front of the appraisal formation.
And that is just the start.
The videos kept on coming. The manager of the exchange centers watched this from there with interest. But at that moment, he spotted something that piqued his interest. Because at that moment, Ivar has dressed in the exact same way as Icarus.
The disguise so similar that no one would believe that they are two different people unless they saw them together.
He did the same thing as Icarus. He dropped the divine dimension fragment and then the tokens along with it. A call came to the manager and he responded exactly the same.
"What the hell are these guys planning?"
He muttered to himself and made a few more calls to pull up the logs and all the administration details. Soon, he found out one thing. The land deed of all the hub areas are protected from the academy members to see.
This made him curious and he checked who bought it all.
Lo and behold it is under Sam's name. He started connecting the dots and his anticipation only grew.
"For so many fucking years, this Academy realm has been way too boring. Now, finally someone with some balls and abilities came. I want to see how this turns out."
Just like he anticipated, these actions already started making waves. That very day, the students that went to keep to the exchange center were sent back. None of them were allowed to make any contributions.
When they asked about when they can come back, the receptionist only gave one answer.
"If only we can find that out."
He went back. Many students, hundreds of them were rebuffed and they all panicked. They directly ran to their instructors and elders, the news was quickly spread to Deans.
At this moment, realization dawned on Dove. She completely forgot about the special training program and its clause.
"The students have to pay for the special training program." She muttered out loud.
"Exactly. The students have to pay a weekly fee and I am sure a lot of your academy's students are already panicking about it. I called you here to help you out of this situation."
Dove heaved a sigh.
"Icarus, if I remember correctly, the Gambler Academy didn't really have that much friendship with the hub. Why would you contact me directly to offer help? After all, I heard many cases in which the hub was stubborn like a bull.
Why would you bend the rules now?"
"As I said, because of a friend."
"Who would that friend be?"
"I am not in a place to reveal the details. Of course, Dove, if you are that suspicious and do not want my help, you are welcome to reject it.
It is no problem for me."
"Never mind, whoever it may be, since it is for my academy's benefit, I cannot reject it."
"All right, I heard that the Gambler Academy is about to wage a large scale attack against the Zeus Academy."
"It is no secret. I already announced it."
"So, whatever you gain from the Zeus Academy, in terms of the resource points, you need give five percent to the hub.
Of course, you don't have to pay the share from the ransom. That is completely yours. Only the resource points and the resources that come from it. That too, five percent in the existing reserves. It is not even a continuous deal.
If you do that, your students do not have to pay the fee for the next few months. Even after that, I will modify the contract so that they can use other things, even the spirit stones to pay instead of the coins."
"Why does that deal sound too good to be true? Everyone knows that the true profits from the Academy war only come from the ransoms. You are leaving such a big pie alone? Based on how much desperation this situation is going to cause, you could have gotten quite a big piece of that pie."
"Once again, this is a favor, not a pure profitable deal and it is for a friend."
"That's one generous friend. I wonder what Joker will think about it."
"Don't worry, Joker never rejects that man's words. Even if that man says to give away the whole Hub, Joker would do that."
Dove was stumped.
"Who the hell is that man?"
"You know him. Its just that you don't know that is him that's doing this. Anyway, you can go and tell your students this. However, there is one thing, you need to issue a massive gag order.
You need to inform each and every student separately and make sure that you make a soul contract with them. They also need to act like they are in distress. The hub is not ready to face the pressure from other academies because of this."
"Alright, this deal seems like it is too good to be true though. I hope you are not pulling my leg here."
"Of course not. That friend might get me fired if I did so."
