Chapter 427: Chapter 291: Company Members
Lake Heart Island, Mammon Manor.
The members of the Fools’ Association gathered here, each wearing smiles, filled with the joy that only exquisite food can bring.
Mammon sat in the main seat, clapping his hands: "Delicious, this dish’s side ingredients are just so delicious. Omen Star didn’t disappoint me, really saved her."
Shaya took a sip of red wine, lazily saying: "I don’t believe there’s true friendship in this city. If you ask me, the bounty wasn’t high enough; otherwise, Su Mo would’ve taken her head."
Al said with interest: "How about we raise the bounty, add another 500 million, make it a billion, and see how Su Mo reacts?"
Huang Wenlong’s eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh hard: "This is a good idea, I agree! Everyone can split this team-building fee equally, just chip in another 20 million each."
Upon hearing about contributing another 20 million, a man at the end of the banquet table couldn’t help but stand up: "You guys are going too far! We already paid 20 million, now another 20 million? No matter how rich one is, no one can withstand this!"
The atmosphere abruptly turned stiff, everyone glancing at the man who spoke.
Mammon remained calm, shrugged at him: "You’re new here, right? I told you when you joined, this is a place that pursues happiness, and we’re willing to give everything for it."
Shaya lazily replied: "Many past members were just like you, came in with a small fortune of hundreds of millions, and they all went bankrupt playing with us. Can’t stand giving just tens of millions?"
Huang Wenlong also ridiculed: "Exactly, if you don’t even have the awareness to go bankrupt, why join the Fools’ Association? If money’s tight, it’s okay, bring collateral for a loan at my bank, I’ll let someone give you the green channel~"
The man clenched his teeth in anger, pointing his fingers at them: "I thought you just liked having fun, didn’t expect you to be a bunch of lunatics! I’m done with this, consider the previous 20 million a gift!"
Mammon gestured towards the banquet hall’s door: "Take care, won’t see you off."
The man turned and left.
Mammon beckoned to the butler and received a shotgun from him, firing it at the man’s back with a "boom."
"Thud." The man fell into a pool of blood, limbs twitching and struggling, choking on blood with a dying wail.
The atmosphere plunged into deathly silence.
A moment later, the first laugh erupted, everyone chortling, pointing at the man.
"You were really going to leave, huh?"
"It’s hilarious, he didn’t really think someone could leave the Fools’ Association alive, did he?"
"I’ll put 1 million moon currency on him dying in 30 seconds, anyone want to bet against me?"
"What was his company’s name again? Tomorrow the stock price will plummet for sure, we should short it, maybe we can make back this team-building fee~"
Mammon placed the gun on the table, signaling for silence, then smiled: "Every year we recruit new members, and every year there are losers who can’t handle it."
"Let me reiterate, joining the Fools’ Association means playing along till the end. I don’t accept quits halfway."
"If money’s tight, it’s okay, just let me know, I can lend you some."
"If you end up bankrupt, no worries, just live at my place. This manor has plenty of empty rooms, more than enough to support a few people."
"Joining the Fools’ Association, we’re all good friends, play when you can, rest if you can’t. If someone tries to run halfway..."
Mammon picked up the gun again, "boom" a shot to finish off the man completely.
"That’s the outcome. Butler, throw him to the back hill to feed my hunting dogs."
The butler nodded slightly, instructed the attendants to remove the body, and the blood was quickly cleaned.
After the episode, Al cleared his throat, bringing the topic back on track: "So that extra 500 million, are we transferring it to my account? I’ll have someone raise the bounty on the dark web."
Mammon signaled to stop, slowly said: "I think raising the bounty isn’t necessary, it doesn’t mean much, won’t stir anything new."
"Those who can be swayed by money are already here. Those who can’t be moved by money, even more money won’t help."
Huang Wenlong sighed: "The key is the person has already escaped. This meal cut midway, feels unsatisfying."
Mammon showed a mysterious smile: "You don’t understand, do you? Do you know what the most important thing is in a top-notch culinary experience?"
"What’s most important is the ever-changing texture."
Huang Wenlong: "What does the chairman mean?"
Mammon: "A dish is unfinished, but new ingredients are delivered, we should be happy about it~"
He finished speaking, made a gesture, and Su Mo’s image appeared on the holographic display.
Everyone’s faces lit up with delight, laughing and applauding.
Mammon smirked: "The previous dish is almost done, let’s leave it at that. Now, let’s feast on him, on the Edge."
Shaya licked her lips, filled with anticipation: "Omen Star, this ingredient must be more delicious than Silent Death God...but he’s a current mercenary, the original cooking methods seem unsuitable."
Mammon: "Relax, I’ve already thought it through~"
He picked up the phone, dialed: "Son, didn’t get to kill him, feeling bad, right? Haha, don’t sulk, dad has thought of a new way to play~"

After Nuobai was secretly transferred, Edge Mansion lost its significance for an attack.
All the mercenaries and killers stopped entangling with Edge Mansion and went to track Nuobai down.
However, Edge Mansion’s security work didn’t slack off, still maintaining the original alertness to prevent someone from kidnapping team members to threaten Su Mo.
