Paying of Debts

Xuan immediately went up from his bed and then prepared for the meantime. He has a mission to clear and he prepared.

Their family was indebted to a corrupt lord named Lezar. He was wealthy and had a slavery market under his hands. Also have many henchmen that fetch slave-to-be and raid the villages to loot them. Also, burn them to the ground.

Xuan bit his lower lips and he loathed the person. He was a big fatty with a mustache that he liked to stroke a lot. Xuan met him in the past and he didn't expect that he would meet him this fast in his second life. He would not think twice to sell off his citizens who can't pay their debts for a certain price.

And so, he went to his realm. His people were barely surviving and many were poor enough to become slaves as they couldn't meet the quota of their lord per harvest. Making many people become his slaves and sold in the slave market.

Xuan walked in the streets and was disguised with his hoody robes. He saw many famished villagers along the way and others were begging him to give a penny. One old man approached him and asked with a wooden bowl.

"A coin is all I ask dear sir. At least we could eat and live another day," he said to him with weary eyes. His brows were ashen and his eyelids were drenched in tears.

Xuan bit his lower lips, he couldn't stand this kind of treatment. He grabbed a coin and then gave him a gold coin that rotated on the wooden bowl.

"Eat with your family tonight and invite others who are also hungry. I will make a way for you all," Xuan said to him.

"Thank you dear kind, sir," said the old man in a rigid voice.

He left with a cane on his hands and then immediately fetched food. Xuan then saw the manor of their Patriarch and saw that it was well-maintained. White paint on the walls with fluttering red flags as their crest.

Xuan watched the gate with an intricate design of their banners and he was halted by the guards.

"Halt! In what business do you have with our lord?" asked the full-plated armored guard.

"Just tell him that Young master Xuan will pay his debts," Xuan said to him.

"As you wish," he then left and returned hastily.

Xuan then waited for him to return and was whistling outside.

"Our Patriarch wished to have an audience with you! You must enter at once!" the guard said then opened the gate.

Xuan then entered and saw their manor. It was a thriving castle with many guards. Well decorated and has many workers maintaining the gardens. As he entered inside, he saw a fat man dressed in noble clothes skinning the apple with his knife.

"Sit," he commanded.

Xuan then removed his hood and showed his face. Guards then were alert and ready to draw their swords.

"I am empty-handed, I don't have a weapon!" Xuan shouted.

"Hahaha! How cheeky. You will pay your debts? Are you dreaming?" he laughed at him with a bolstering voice.

"I am serious, I will pay my debts," Xuan said with a serious tone.

"Haha, mind your tone. I will cut your tongue if you are lying," He said then ate the apple.

"I see, then I will show you," Xuan replied.

"Thirty thousand gold coins," Lezar said to him.

The original debt was ten thousand and he tripled the interest. It was robbing in pure daylight!

'Let me see if he can still pay me with triple the interest hahaha! I bet he will beg for me to lower the price hehehe' Lezar smirked with a laugh in his mind. Hands were rubbing with each other.

"Come on, grovel on the ground and cry while begging," Lezar blurted out.

"I will pay," Xuan then grabbed a check and wrote off the numbers.

"You will? How?" Lezar coughed then turned serious.

"Well that is a trade secret," Xuan then winked at him. Lezar can only bite his lower lips.

'I made it triple from the interest but he could still pay! Just where did he get this much money?' Lezar was speechless. He didn't know such a possibility would occur.

'Ugh, damn! He could pay? That is not in my thoughts. Well well, at least I reaped a lot in the interest,' Lezar laughed inside his mind.

"And also," Xuan said then paused, "I would like to buy off your beggars and slaves. All of them,"

It was said that slavery was their secret business but who would have thought that Xuan knew it? He was taken aback by his words.

"I will pay a huge sum if you can give me your beggars and slaves. As a business partner," Xuan grabbed a gold coin and flicked it to him. Lezar caught it and he smiled. His golden teeth showed. Well, the beggars would sell themselves to pay off their taxes. It was the disturbing truth that Xuan would be willing to grab.

"As long as you have money. Then the beggars and slaves are yours," he laughed then called his attendant.

"Then we have a deal," Xuan said with a smile. He then was handed the contract of debt and then he ripped it to Smitherins.

Well, Xuan knew that this fatty was greedy when it came to money and Ainz knew that money would have its value lessened or even to the point of being useless after the great calamity. The people he would get were much more valuable in the future after the calamity arrived.

"Prepare the carts! We will deliver them here," Lezar commanded his attendant.

They soon arrived and many villagers were transported. They soon were gathered and they left immediately. All beggars joined and their families too. Xuan then bought a huge quantity of food to be delivered to his realm. He distributed the food to them and they ate.

Others didn't have food for several days. And so Xuan made an announcement.

"You will all be free citizens in my realm. Remove your slave collars and be my people. I will take care of you all. Of course, there is no freeloading in my realm. All of you have to work. But you will be paid handsomely in return. Now, who wants to bail out?" Xuan didn't hear a response.

"Good! Now we go to my realm immediately!" Xuan ended his announcement. They soon were ready to travel towards their new home.

Lezar then was baffled as he watched them outside his castle. Hands scratching his chin, "Hmmm where did he get the fortune from? I wonder."
