Seized by the System

“What, you want eighteen gold mountains for one person? Each gold mountain is at least a thousand tons! You’re basically robbing us!”

“Do you have any idea of the volume of gold each country has in their vaults? You dare to ask for such a thing?!”

A group of Indian representatives with different skin colors was sitting on one side of a round table inside the anteroom set up by the Public Affairs Department in the Truth Department’s Headquarter Base.

A young man sat alone right opposite them. Everyone was jealous of how handsome the young man was.

At that moment, a dark-skinned rep was shouting towards the young man angrily.

“I know,” Vigilante A replied emotionlessly and started calculating.

“Europe has a total of 12450.2 tons…”

“USA has 8133.5 tons…”

“Russia has 1094.7 tons…”

“1054.1 tons in China…”

“India occupies 557.7 tons…”

“…”

“Er…” The rep was speechless and looked at his mates.

“Mr. Dragon God. If that’s the case, you are basically asking for all the gold reserves that are available in the world. You need to understand that due to the fluctuating market, the gold price has increased significantly. We will never be able to gather that amount of gold in the market right now,” Sina the heir of the God of Preservation said calmly.

“You are asking for a ridiculous price and we will never take the offer. Mr. Maram will also never allow us to spend so many resources for him as well,” the black-skinned rep followed.

“No, I agree to his offer. Hurry up and pay him everything and get me out of here. It’s just eighteen thousand tons of gold. Melt away those gold sculptures and columns in our temples. We have a lot of gold right now circulating in the country thanks to our four thousand years of history. My worshippers will surely make the sacrifice for my freedom!”

A middle-aged man’s voice appeared out of nowhere right next to Vigilante A.

“Aren’t you Mr. Maram, the heir of the God of Creation? What are you saying? You must never give in to him!”

“He is asking for eighteen thousand tons of gold!” All the reps started fighting.

“Fools, is the gold more valuable than myself? Set me out and I will work as a hard labor for ten thousand years to dig out all the gold underground to repay my debt!” The middle-aged man was impatient.

No one knew what it was like to be trapped in an isolation cell for over a year with no idea whether it was day or night!

He was the first to ever experience it in the history of all of mankind.

“This, this, we need to let the Trinity decide. We shall ask for their permission if they are willing to sacrifice all the worshippers’ gold for your freedom.” The reps discussed among themselves and said.

The other three people from the Truth Department were shaking their heads as they saw the situation.

The three of them were Ren Ruofeng, Qiao Anping, and Xie Dong.

China had sent their most intelligent, most powerful, and most informative agents to help in dealing with the Indians as a sign of utmost respect for their presence.

Xie Dong rushed back as he received an emergency recall while visiting local authorities throughout China.

Even though people were always calling India a third world country, China knew that they had great potential in the vitality era, more so than other developed countries of the west.

The Indians had always fighting among themselves and as a result had many segregations among them. Even though they looked united from the outside, partitions were rising even at the management level causing disruptions in authorities and slowing down their development.

However, in the new vitality era, they started working together once again with the help of the Indian Trinity to form a new backbone in their upper management.

They were working tirelessly thanks to their religion and continued to eliminate problems that were once rampant in their country.

Everyone in India had to kneel before their Gods!

The Trinity, therefore, became the central piece in India.

That was why even under the pressure of the Heavenly Axiom and their reduction in resources, the two heirs were reluctant in giving up their reliance of the Trinity. The future of the country would be without doubt dimmer if they chose to forego their religion.

Ren Ruofeng tried to intervene. “If so, we shall pause our negotiation for now. You can go and ask for your God’s guidance while I ask for the delay from the Venerable One.”

He asked Vigilante A, “What do you think, Venerable One?”

“I agree.” Vigilante A answered.

He closed his eyes and started cultivating on the spot. Dragon clouds started appearing and surrounded his body while absorbing nearby vitality.

Everyone from India looked rather down after looking at him.

It was not a coincidence that Vigilante A was able to be on top of the world and sent shivers down every monster’s spine as the Eastern Pharos.

His hard work and dedication were unmatched by anyone else in the world!

Even though the two heirs were relatively calm, they could not be compared to him.

They would never have the motivation to cultivate at that moment…

The Indians started discussing in English and after a while, Sina and Kamal stood up.

“We hope that you can prepare a clean and quiet room for our prayers.”

“Of course,” Ren Ruofeng made a call and two workers brought them away almost instantly.

He looked at Xie Dong and indicated for him to leave.

…

An hour later, Xie Dong returned along with the Indians.

“Our apologies, Our Gods have said that this should be Maram’s challenge alone.” Sina shook her head.

“What do you mean? What else do I have to go through? That guy is rotting in our Draconic Penitentiary…”

“Haha, that means that the three old monsters are not prepared to sacrifice much for him.”

“Why?” Sir System was confused.

“The worshippers’ gold is their gold. Are they willing to spend their gold? It would be easier to change their heir instead.” Fang Ning replied.

“Damn the three timid monsters. The people from Azure Mountain were so much more generous than them,” Sir System was dissatisfied.

“Calm down, I have a plan B,” Fang Ning replied confidently.

Vigilante A opened his eyes and said, “You can pass this message to your Gods. It is time for them to pay their debt from all the fishing and showers they took in the Sky River. If not…”

“What…” The Indians were shocked as they heard his words and looked at each other.

“Did our Trinity really went through this? How did he manage to find out?” Some of them started discussing softly.

“It is not surprising that he knows, since he was a True Dragon from the Upper Realm,” another one nodded.

Gossip among the deities was common among the legends that had spread throughout India, from Lingam, the creation of the world, to wives and women…

However, those working in the higher tiers of society, the cream of the crop, understood that those legends were created by their ancestors to improve the liveliness of the deities and increase the number of believers.

When the Indian Trinity revealed themselves to the world, those legends were purposely destroyed, and people were banned from discussing them. They started spreading their teachings including Divine works and abilities…

The Indians left the room once again to the prayer room.

Xie Dong followed behind. Ren Ruofeng lightly nodded as he noticed the youngster was getting wiser, and he could soon loosen his grip onto the youngster.

A moment later, the Indians returned with pale faces and looked distraught.

“The Trinity had concluded that Maram had worked hard and persevered for all this while… And wanted us to save him with everything we have,” Sina the white lady said.

“Why force me to use my trump card if you know this is going to happen anyway?” Vigilante A replied calmly, “I will set Maram free as soon as I receive the eighteen gold mountains.”
