After a great battle, there are always repercussions.
First, let's start from the center of the battlefield, the El Dorado Leisure Sanctuary.
When the main forces of the Ganesha Familia arrived, only half of the extravagant casino was left in ruins.
The leading several Level 5s began a search and rescue operation in the rubble, but were surprised to find that all the rescued individuals were adventurers from the Ikelos Familia.
Because of their strong physiques, they had all survived.
And near the underground entrance, people discovered Terry crawling laboriously.
He seemed to have seen his saviors, crying to the City Garrison, whom he usually disdained, as if they were his second parents.
When questioned about the cause and effect of the incident, Terry, living up to Eugene's expectations, embellished and exposed the entire process of how he was blackmailed.
In his account, Dix became a hero who sacrificed himself, while Eugene became an out-and-out demonic traitor.
With a mix of skepticism and belief, the Garrison temporarily took Terry and the members of the Ikelos Familia away.
Because the underground vault was indeed robbed, they had reason to believe Terry's statement.
But on the very next day, a group of beautiful women, seemingly appearing from nowhere, gathered outside the security department, loudly petitioning.
A blonde, dark-skinned hot girl amongst the crowd tearfully accused Terry of his crimes.
Under her instigation, the beauties, who were initially fearful, began to cry uncontrollably, launching into desperate accusations.
Such a large-scale display of weeping beauties compelled even the assembly of male gods to declare, "We are taking charge of this matter!"
This incident became the first push to topple Terry.
Afterward, multiple witnesses came forward to testify about the severe crimes Terry had committed in recent years.
This even included his two most capable subordinates—the fake "Black Cat" and "Black Fist."
After a night of internal struggle, they decided to completely reform, revealing everything they knew.
The content was shockingly dark and appalling.
It not only implicated a large number of human trafficking, smuggling, and murder cases but also dragged a significant number of personnel from the current Entertainment City Supervisory Committee into the mire.
In just a few days, this wealthy magnate, who had previously lorded over thousands in Orario, became a drowning dog that everyone scorned.
More critically, following an anonymous tip-off, it was revealed that even his name was fake.
Ted Modley, this person belonged to a certain decayed Familia, a member of the Dark Faction collaborators during the dark period, a guy who made his fortune from the chaos!
"Hang him!" "Chop off his head!"
The citizens, who are resentful of the rich in any era, were furious and wanted to kill Terry on the spot.
"Ted Modley, based on your crimes, you should be sentenced to death."
"However, in view of the economic contributions you have made to Orario, you are ordered to pay a billion bail, and transfer all shares of the El Dorado company you hold. You are henceforth banished from the city, never to return, as a warning to others."
The meaning was clear: We won't investigate your crimes further; just pay the fine and get lost.
In Orario, due to the impulsive actions of adventurers, malicious murder cases are not uncommon.
As a completely neutral power, Orario typically handles such matters with fines and blacklisting/banishment to avoid trouble.
Now that Terry had finally fallen, it was only natural to severely exploit him.
"Rollo and Faust, as Ted's main accomplices, the judgment is the same. In view of your voluntary surrender, you are each fined one hundred million, and banished forever."
Bang! The gavel fell, finalizing the verdict!
That night, someone visited Faust and Rollo to discuss bail.
Because the conversation lasted too long, the guards entered the room to intervene.
They found only two headless corpses.
The visitor had vanished without a trace, leaving no clues behind.
Since the bail could not be paid, the court decided to follow through and execute the death sentence.
The news reached Terry, who became emotionally agitated, demanding to see his lawyer immediately.
That night, the lawyer went to Terry and was informed that his client's assets were insufficient to pay the one billion bail.
Terry briefly lost control, assaulting his lawyer before being forcibly restrained and taken back.
Subsequently, due to his inability to meet the court's demands, Terry was sentenced to death.
His bank deposits were confiscated, totaling over two hundred million.
His fixed assets, the casino land, and company shares, were retained because twenty of the kidnapped women jointly produced a "Transfer Agreement."
Thus, the case of the wealthy imposter officially came to an end.
...This was the surface-level resolution.
As the City Garrison, the Ganesha Familia was responsible for investigating all destabilizing factors.
They wanted to understand who, between the "Eugene" and "Dix" mentioned by Terry, was the real mastermind behind the incident.
Both the massive destruction caused to the casino and the magical means by which the entire underground vault was emptied were sources of intense curiosity.
They first visited the recovering Ikelos Familia, who unanimously claimed that the true culprit was the blonde, brown-skinned man named "Eugene."
According to them, Eugene used his gambling skills to win 1.6 billion from Terry overnight and destroyed the casino building with a single strike.
Such astonishing feats were truly hard to believe.
Won 1.6 billion? You're stupid enough, but is Terry that stupid? Would he just watch himself lose 1.6 billion?
Furthermore, blowing up half the casino with one strike—who are you trying to fool?
The casino clearly showed extensive signs of fighting; it must have been a fierce battle that caused that level of damage.
Your testimony is clearly an attempt to shift all the blame onto the other party!
The Ganesha Familia, with their rich experience in solving cases, quickly overturned the group's testimony with a little deduction.
They are working together, and collusion is a certainty. The truth cannot be this!
That Dix, with his notorious record, has long been suspicious, and since he is a Level 5 adventurer, he is a major suspect!
As for Eugene, their persistent effort to push all the blame onto him is clearly to cover for Dix...
The answer is very close. Eugene is problematic, but the principal offender must be Dix!
Everyone threw themselves into the fervent investigation, believing that finding Dix would quickly bring the truth to light.
...
Finally, back to Eugene.
He had arranged a double-insurance.
The beneficiaries of the asset transfer were all the girls who had been victimized.
Eugene found them, offered to provide them shelter, and presented the transfer agreement as a legal document.
Under his coercion and persuasion, the girls readily agreed.
In just a few days, Eugene showed them his results, sending Terry to the gallows.
After that, he gradually reclaimed the vast wealth they owned and helped each of them according to their wishes.
Some were given a sum of money to return home, some were sent to work at the Hostess of Fertility, some stayed as assistants/errand-runners, and some were simply given an apartment and left alone.
In short, money was spent, the matter was settled, and everyone was happy.
During this period, Eugene supported Lili's rise to become a new shareholder of El Dorado.
Lili fully utilized her financial talent, managing everything efficiently in a short time.
After this, she was no longer Liliruca, but Miss Lili, or Madame Lili.
No one could underestimate a woman worth a billion, even if she was a Pallum only fifteen years old.
To acquire such a scale of wealth at this age, her own capabilities and her background could not be ignored.
Just as this gentle daily routine was proceeding methodically,
The Ganesha Familia finally came knocking on Eugene's door.
"Mr. Eugene, good afternoon."
"I am the Ganesha Familia Captain, Shakti Varma."
"I came to talk to you about..."
The moment Shakti saw Eugene, she was stunned.
"Huh!?"
"You, how could you be..."
She pointed a finger at the man in a bathrobe, with an expression of disbelief.
"Is something the matter, Miss Shakti?"
Eugene was nestled in the sofa, with the languid Lina in his arms, casually swirling his wine glass.
His fair fingers were long and slender, and the crystal cup reflected his dark red eyes.
His grayish-white long hair was swept back, and his long, pointed, but distinctly curved ears highlighted his half-elf features.
The Eugene described by others: tall, dark-skinned, blonde, always wearing a mischievous smile, and human since birth.
But now, before her eyes,
This man named Eugene had silver hair, red eyes, snow-white skin, and a handsome, clear face.
And he was a Half-Elf.
"Forgive my presumptuousness, but are you truly Eugene?"
Shakti frowned deeply, completely unable to understand where she had gone wrong.
Eugene smiled gently.
He exchanged a look with Lena in his arms.
The latter winked playfully.
"What else would I be?"
