INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

"With all the f*ckery that's going on around us, right now. I would say the best bet would be to buy off cops… as many as possible."

"To make sure to balance the scale." Delmar said.

"Okay, that's a good idea. So have you already contacted someone?" William asked.

Delmar scratched his bald head and had an awkward expression as he said, "Well… that's still in progress, boss."

"Oh!... I thought you would have already contracted them already? So…," William asked with scrutinizing eyes, "Is there something you're not telling me here?"

Delmar sighed as he gave up and said, "Yes, there is a problem."

William's face immediately turned sour and Delmar seeing that quickly tried to explain, "No no, Boss. It's not a 'Us' problem, it's more like a 'Me' problem?"

"...Elaborate"

"You see… back in the past… when I wasn't in your employment, I was kind of a free soul, someone who clearly didn't give a f*ck to anyone and in those era's of freedom, I kinda chose to f*ck the wrong person's wife."

"Let me guess, it's the police commissioners, right?" William asked.

"Well close… it was a major's wife."

Silence prevailed as William spoke after a moment, "How is that remotely close?"

"Well I kinda-" Delmar tried to explain but William stopped him with a sign of his hands.

"Well it doesn't matter now. It's at least good that it's a major and not a general now, because that would have been a good fu*k up for you and in turn me." William said and Delmar's face frowned as he said, "Well…."

William looked at him and his face turned pale as he said, "Please don't tell me you f*cked a General's wife too."

"No no... I don't think so." Delmar saw William giving him a deadpan look, "No I didn't, I'm sure of it."

"But the problem is that the wife's husband that I in simplier terms 'Cucked' has been promoted and now… he is a Colonel."

William went quiet as he just kept looking at Delmar who was increasingly sweating as he was being looked at like, 'He was a very stupid man'.

Which he was.

"And that guy also works in the Wiseburn Kingdom's Army Service?" William asked as Delmar nodded.

"So what you are trying to say to me is that we are literally fuc*ed in getting help from the army department and which in turn also turns down the police too."

"Well…. Not really boss. We just have to find someone who is in a rank above that guy and see if we can get his 'Help'."

"And do you know someone?"

"….No"

"Well there we have it." William said as he flung his arm around in a dramatic matter.

"I'm sorry, boss. I can't do anything about what I have already done before." Delmar said and became quiet.

"Yeah… Not that we want to do anything about something we are proud of." William said as he saw the little prideful smirk hidden away in Delmar's face. "Just go and find someone who can help us… and make sure to not fu*k this guy's wife too."

Delmar smiled and said, "Alright, boss. I'll keep that in mind." He then left as William sat there in the bar counter of his villa and played with his orange juice and thought about everything.

"Why is the whole world turning upside down for me?"

'It's not turning upside down for you.' Anne said through their link.

"So what do you call getting betrayed by your most closest security personal and finding out that the one that turned him turned out to be from a Great House. What do you call that?" William asked Anne.

'That… maybe atrocious luck.' Anne said with doubt in her voice.

"See not even you are sure of tha-" William said before he suddenly widened his eyes and straightened his postures and said, "Luck! Could it be because of that."

For some time, because of what was happening and how bad the situation was becoming for him, William's mind became preoccupied with that. So he didn't even think of seeing that whether something had changed in his stats or not.

William quickly opened his stats and scrolled down to luck. The moment he's eyes laid upon the luck stat he only exclaimed with three words.

"Unholy Mother of-"

'Couch Couch' Anne quickly stopped him before he could finish off that 'Notsosweet' Sentence.

[ Luck: - 25 ]

Anne looked at the number and exclaimed as well, 'Wooow! That really is not a good number.'

"You think!" William exclaimed as his eyes remained glued to the number.

Anne ignored his words and asked, 'How much was it before this change?'

"Before?... I think it was close to 70 or less."

'You sure?'

"Yeah"

'Well… that is quite the drop.' Exclusive content from m,v lem|p,yr

"Ye- Yeah, I know that. So how the f*ck did this happen? Do you know anything about this?" William directed his question to Anne.

'No, Can't say I do.'

"Are you sure that there wasn't anything that could have influenced me or something?"

'No. If there was, then I would have been the first to know about it.' Anne said and thought for a moment before asking, 'Are you sure that you haven't done something that would have been the cause of this?'

"What could I have done that would have made such a huge drop." William said with a surprised tone before asking, "This did not happen because of what I did to Carl, is it?"

'No, It doesn't. While human behavior does have some correlation to fate and luck but that's only a subtle change.'

'This… This happened because of some supernatural cause.'

"Supernatural Cause?"

'Yes, I'm sure of it. How else does a high luck of 70 goes down to negative 25 so quickly without any of us knowing about it?'

"And you're telling me that all that is happening to me is because of my bad luck?" William asked.

'Yep'

"And it will keep happening as long as it stays that way?"

'Yes, I am.' Anne said with certainty, 'And not only will your situation get worse but it will also become so bad that… at one time, you will face a situation where dead would be imminent to you.'

William looked at the glass of orange juice in his hands with wide eyes and said, "De- Dead… again?" He asked fearfully and also with slight confusion.

'Yes… and this time it won't be a choice of whether choosing a new world or going through judgement?... it will be straight to judgement day.' Anne said with a serious tone.

"Why does it seem like you're deliberately trying to scare me?" Curiously, William asked.

'Hey, I'm just telling the situation as it is.' Anne said, 'Forget about that, do you know why this might be happening. Have you pissed off any gods or not?'

"No, I don't think so."

'You sure, it's actually quite easy you know.'

"Yeah, I'm sure."

'Well then have you been paying your taxes?'

"Wha- What? Yeah I think so."

'Not that one. I am talking about the one the God who reincarnated you put. The one with giving half the money to Orphanages and other stuff.'

"Well…." William thought hard before his face turned pale, "Shit!"
