"The contract is established, Count Vos, it's too late to regret now," Luo Wei said, waving the contract in his hand.

"Viscount Luo Wei, you see... We don't have any deep hatred, do we? How about settling this today..."

"That won't do. Can't you see how hard I fought to win? There is no reason to let my efforts go to waste," Luo Wei certainly wouldn't let the other party off so easily. Recalling what had happened not long ago, the other party had pushed him too far by demanding repayment.

"..."

Vos felt like he wanted to die. He couldn't reason with Luo Wei and he couldn't win in a fight either.

What should he do?

Being caught in a trap was not a good feeling.

"However, there is a way out," Luo Wei thought for a moment and spoke again, with Vos staring at him with some expectation.

"If Count Vos fulfills the promise on the spot, then the Nicholas family will be done for. That wouldn't be good, right? How about installment payments instead?"

Forcing someone into a corner and then insisting on installment payments, it resembled the practices of some unscrupulous loan companies.

Advising someone to pay in installments, it was as if heaven would strike them down.

But Luo Wei was the Thunder Mage, so he wasn't afraid of being struck by lightning.

"Installments?" Vos muttered, repeating it as if he had never considered such an option.

"Yes, installments. You don't have to give me all the money at once, but you'll have to pay with interest, of course," Luo Wei handed the contract to Alia.

"You can add the additional conditions directly to the contract, Alia, do you think that would be a problem?"

"Um, no problem," Alia nodded as well.

"Viscount Luo Wei, isn't the interest rate too high?" Vos' face couldn't be more ugly. He could already see that for the next few years, he would be burdened with enormous debts and wouldn't be able to live the same kind of life as before.

"High? Is it high? I don't think so," Luo Wei didn't agree.

"Count Vos, don't forget, you don't have the power to choose now. You can only make one choice, either installments or paying everything back to me now."

Luo Wei was not a saint; he was more like a demon.

Would a demon be lenient at a time like this? Obviously not. Luo Wei would need money in the near future, so this was a great opportunity to accumulate a large sum.

"Also, if Viscount Vode keeps looking at me with those eyes, like he's going to kill me, I'll double the interest."

Luo Wei had long noticed that there was something wrong with Vode's eyes.

He thought he hadn't particularly offended this guy, and after thinking about it, there was only one explanation: the femme fatale.

To prevent Luo Wei from actually increasing the interest rate, Vos had someone directly drag Vode out.

"M... My Lady Saint, do you have WeChat? We could be friends..."

Until the very end, this guy was just a sycophant.

"You idiot."

Alia blurted out.

"Well then, Count Vos, what do you think? Will you sign or not?"

"What will happen if I don't sign?"

"Then, perhaps starting from tomorrow, you will lose everything as a count and go talk to my absconded foster father about life."

Luo Wei didn't mince his words. As long as Vos still wanted to be a count and couldn't let go of his current life, he wouldn't refuse.

"But the interest is too much..."

"Count Vos, have you ever heard of usurious loans?" Luo Wei laughed. What was a usurious loan? The usurer had no conscience and no pity for others.

"... I'll sign."

In the end, Vos compromised.

"Now that the contract is established, Count, you better not have any strange ideas. Although I don't advocate for violent debt collection, with this, I can directly involve the kingdom. Then you won't be a count anymore."Listening to Luo Wei's words, Woss finally understood that he had walked right into a trap. He was completely trapped and had no idea when it happened. Luo Wei had achieved his goal and was ready to leave, truly coming back with a full load.

"Damn it! What a fucking idiot!"

Woss couldn't help but curse as soon as Luo Wei left.

"Count Woss, if I hear you curse at me again, we'll have to talk about raising the interest rate."

The voice from the door shut Woss's mouth.

Not only was he unable to win the fight, but he also couldn't even vent his frustrations by cursing behind Luo Wei's back. He felt truly helpless.
