Chapter 421: Escape
Although there is no definite evidence that something went wrong with Orin, Gotash knows that madman too well. That guy never performs his mission honestly, and never cares whether my perfect plan can go smoothly.
Even if there is evil thoughts, the crazy woman Orin can't help the bloodthirsty desire in her heart, and will do everything possible to mess up his plan. What's more, she is ranked at the top among all the collaborators.
As the second in command of the Baal Church, Orin's mind must be full of key information about the three gods of death, whether it is the alliance between the three, or the crown of Karsus, and a series of conspiracies planned through the crown, Orin must know all these things.
Only when these key information are leaked will the Flame Fist be hit so hard in such a short time!
Originally, Gotash had many spies under his command. These eyes that monitor the entire city were scattered by him in all aspects of Baldur's Gate. Whether it is the Flame Fist, the Guild, or even the Council Hall, he has exclusive informants.
Logically speaking, with these intelligence personnel, no matter what kind of movement Baldur's Gate makes, he will be the first to know about it. But this time is different. They acted too quickly. Even though his intelligence personnel had sent him a message at the first time, saying that the Flame Fist was gathering abnormally and did not tell him the specific target, asking Gotash to be more careful.
But when he judged from the direction of advance that the target of this action was their boss, Gotash, and then hurried to send him a message, Gotash himself was completely unable to react.
Almost five minutes after receiving the news, the Flame Fist had already come to the door. In such a short time, the only thing he could do now was to quickly take his remaining team and run away quickly.
'My identity, my ambition, these things have been completely exposed, and Baldur's Gate will no longer leave me any soil for me to survive. Everything is over for me. '
More than a decade ago, Gotash had already born an unparalleled ambition. Due to his tragic personal experience, after he escaped from hell, he began to frantically demand power and strength.
At first, he only did some petty thefts. After coming out of hell with nothing, he could only rely on stealing and robbing to fill his stomach. But later, in order to accumulate wealth faster and realize his ambitions faster, he began to deal with the guild. Among those people, Gotash received the first big order in his life. That adventure almost killed him, but it also made him earn enough initial starting capital.
Relying on this money, he broke away from the control of the guild and began to form a small caravan by himself. He started some small business of smuggling specialties from the two places. At that time, he had a stable source of money, but later, he became less and less satisfied with this kind of small fights. In order to make a huge amount of wealth to support his grand ambitions faster, he began to get involved in arms, contraband, and anything that could make him a lot of money.
Getting involved in these things is very dangerous. If you don’t have a background, there are people in both the black and white worlds who want to eat your flesh, but in the end, he overcame those things that hindered him.
He used lies, deception and violence to make a living for himself, and used rhetoric and interests to win allies and cannon fodder for himself. Of course, this process was not smooth sailing. In the process of moving towards his ambition, Gotash had narrowly escaped death several times.
After several years of development, he relied on his intelligence to find a new smuggling route. From then on, money flowed like water. At that time, Gotash was able to gain a firm foothold in Baldur's Gate, and even attracted the attention of Bane and became his chosen one.
It has been 12 years since the beginning. It took Gotash 12 years to get to where he is today in Baldur's Gate, but now... Damn Olin!!!
The corners of Gotash's mouth began to twitch unnaturally. Although he was not completely out of danger, he was still so angry about the huge loss that his veins bulged. Even the iron cane in his left hand was gripped by him, leaving a deep grip mark. Tyrannical thoughts kept emerging in his mind, but in the end he still swallowed them all.
'No, it can't be like this. The more dangerous the moment, the more you can't let your anger cloud your mind. Think carefully about the next move and what to do to maximize the loss...'
Gotash kept walking, frowning.
'The fixed assets exposed on the surface must be all gone. The few remaining properties in the dark are not of much value. Generally speaking, they are useless, but the money I put in the clearing house can still be kept. '
Without the exclusive key, even the Flame Fist could not force his way into the clearing house, because the clearing house is a bank, and it is the only bank in Baldur's Gate. Unless they dare to bear the risk of the collapse of the financial system of Baldur's Gate, they will never break into such an important place at will.
‘Although most of the money is still there, I can’t get it back for the time being. I can only wait for the evil thoughts to come back before making plans. The Bane Cult has also suffered a major blow. This wave of raids almost took down all the new believers I have developed during this period. Fortunately, there are more than 50 people around me. These are the real backbone of the sect. As long as these people don’t lose too much and have enough financial support, the sect will soon be able to make a comeback. ’
‘But now I don’t have much disposable money. The caravan that was originally under my name will definitely be checked, and the smuggling route will probably be exposed. My wealth will be directly cut in half...’
“Lord Gotash, we are about to walk out of this tunnel and reach the seaport. Are we going to leave Baldur’s Gate by boat next?”
The woman who spoke was wearing black and gold armor, holding a green poison-coated mace, and wearing a golden fence-like half-covered crown helmet.
Her name is Uval, and her position in the Bane sect is the Black Hand. In terms of status, she is only below Gotash. However, in the pyramid-like power hierarchy of the Bane sect, even though she is the Black Hand, Uval must obey Gotash completely.
However, despite this, with her status, Uval must have some privileges in the Bane sect. Because of this, she is also the only one who dares to interrupt Gotash's thinking at this time.
