Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

"Everything?"

The audience was shocked. Aldred didn't know what or how many treasures they brought. Even one of them brought enough treasures for a group of adventures to live a comfortable life.

They discussed the price among themselves, and after a few minutes, one of them asked.

"Do list out our treasures to see who had the most?"

Aldred shook his head. "You are mistaken. I mean all of you must give me treasure, and that way, my clone can escort you anywhere you go."

"All of us? So you're not going to divide us by group?"

"No. I think escorting all of you at once is much better."

Much better because he could rob all of their treasures. Aldred smiled inside. His comrades would never run out of treasures if this transaction succeeded.

They started a discussion with each other.

"What do you all think?"

"I think it's a good deal. Our coins and treasures is not comparable to the power of that boy. Even if we all worked together, I believe he could still wipe the floor with us."

"You're right. And did you see that powerful sword art? I have seen something that skill before, but not that powerful. The boy clearly had a high mastery in swordsmanship."

"How's that possible. He isn't a hero. I can tell because I've seen a hero before, and they have a certain aura around them."

"He has to be the son of an adamantite rank. Maybe they know how to master martial art and magic at the same time."

"Speculating about this is useless. What do you all think we should do? Do we take the offer?"

"I would say we take it. We bring all the treasures and Gold coins for what? So we can climb, right? If we can trade for something that is much better, then why don't we do it?"

"He's got a point."

After their discussion, one of them was chosen as a representative to ask questions.

"Can we keep our armor and some useful gear?"

"Alright, you can."

"And what about competition? You're a climber as well. Don't you feel any rivalry against us?"

"The dice will lead you to the same place but through different paths. This can be seen from how the riddle changed when one group solved it. So we would hardly cross paths with each other, but even if we did, I do not think any of you as competitors. I can keep climbing, and there is nothing you can do to me."

They all gathered and talked with each other again.

One man was skeptical.

"What if he's lying. He could be robbing us right now."

"No, I don't think so. If he wanted to rob us, he can use his undead to do that. Instead, he offered us a product and a deal."

"Yeah. And it's not like we're going to be poor after this. The treasures we brought are just a small part of our wealth."

"So everyone agrees to take this offer?"

"Yes."

They all turned and looked at Aldred.

"We would like to take your offer."

Aldred smiled and nodded. "Good. Now put the treasures beside me. I want to see them pilling on the ground. Also, don't forget about the coins. I want them all."

They all walked out of the hot bath and took out their storage pouches before pouring all the treasures inside.

One of them asked: "Can we still get a hot bath if we meet you?"

"I have no problem adding that to the deal."

The man nodded and pulled out his adventure card before transferring all the money to Aldred.

Mary and the others seeing the numbers from behind were shocked.

One transaction already left them speechless. Bartrem, Maverick, and Byron who had lost a couple of subordinates looked at this with mouths wide agape. He wanted to join in this transaction, but he was too ashamed. And he thought Aldred would not let him anyway.

Suddenly, some other rich men that saw this asked to join. Aldred accepted them all. Who would refuse money?

Even a priest needed money to build his church.

The treasures kept piling up. Aldred saw a lot of upper rare treasures in there.

Some martial arts skill books, elemental magic books, non-elemental books, sword art, spear art, PP art, hammer art, chain art, and many more.

Many magical weapons and accessories were in there as well. Some rings, fans, swords, spears, chains. There were too many treasures.

But Aldred did not mind having more.

Bartrem was surprised at the pile of treasures at first, but as time passed, he was horrified. The amount of treasures was too much.

Because the pile was now as large as a small hill. It towered over Aldred.

Some greedy-eyed treasures would like to take action and took some, but their comrades prevented them.

"Do you have a death wish? Because if you do, I can throw you off the mountain right now."

Most of them held back, but there was always that one crazy person who listen to nothing.

He zipped in the air with a small chain in his hand. The chain shot towards the pile of treasure, trying to latch onto one of them, but then he saw a blazing javelin flying at him.

Unlike his expectation, he wasn't stabbed when the javelin touched his body, no, he was engulfed in flames and turned into dust in an instant.

"What did you fire at, Aldred?" Mira asked. The thief was actually quite far from them, but with Aldred's godly eyes, he could detect them even if they hide inside their mother's womb.

"Nothing," Aldred said with a smile.

After everyone already poured all their treasures and transferred all their money, Aldred ordered his clone to serve them.

The clone put both hands on its waist and looked at them. "Aight. You bitches only got a week. Now show me what to cut and destroy before I strip all the women naked."

Aldred laughed while the others were simply speechless.

"Oh man, that clone really knows me well."

The rich men, on the other hand, took that advice seriously.

"He's right. We only got a week. We should continue our journey immediately."

"How? Our arrows pointed in different directions."

Suddenly, the mountain seemed to consider them as one group, and their dice glowed before they revealed an arrow that pointed in the same direction.

"Seems like the mountain noticed our predicament."

After talking for a few seconds, they all walked away. There were others people who different paths and did not stay. They went in different directions.

Aldred wondered how that worked. This whole treasure hunt felt like a game where people could have different quests to reach the astrolabe at the peak.

Though the game might cost their lives.

The boy shook his head and checked the gold in his adventure card.

"342,572,169 Gold Coins?!" Aldred was shocked. "I am rich. I am truly rich."

He then put all the treasures inside his divine dimension. Since his dimension was more than 2 kilometers tall and wide, he didn't have to worry about space.

The adventurers were disappointed to see the large pile of treasures simply disappear.

"How did he even store that?"
