Chapter 616

“Did the Dark River provoke the River of Fate again?”

Su Wen observed the River of Fate, ready to seek justice on his behalf, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

He understood a bit about the love and hate between these two rivers.

Deep down, he didn’t fully trust the River of Fate to get him his justice.

However, he firmly believed in the idea of taking a shot at the River of Time.

After all, the River of Fate was the type to endure losses just to prevent the River of Time from making a profit.

But since he was still in the God of Wealth’s office, the River of Fate was eagerly extending its power, looking for an excuse from him.

So… after the River of Time made money, it went to show off to the River of Fate, didn’t it?

“That could be troublesome.”

Su Wen thought, rationally speaking, it didn’t matter to him whether the River of Time got hit or not.

Especially since the River of Fate was claiming to avenge him while going after the River of Time, perhaps it would be difficult to reclaim money from the Capital River.

But what if?

Emotionally, the Ink River had tricked him so many times; it deserved a good beating.

In the conflict between the two rivers, he remained neutral.

If the River of Fate wanted to use him as an excuse to hit the River of Time, then go ahead!

If the River of Time used him as an excuse to scold the River of Fate, he’d just stay silent and watch.

[The naive God of Wealth, you overestimate the River of Time’s bottom line. As a notoriously unscrupulous merchant in the chaos, the River of Time can drain every drop of your blood without leaving you a drop.]

[But it’s fine, the River of Fate will take action.]

[You are a friend of the River of Fate, and because of your generosity, the River of Fate overcame a financial crisis.]

[After all, the River of Fate isn’t as malevolent as the River of Time; deep down, the River of Fate is truly grateful to the God of Wealth.]

[But rest assured, with the River of Fate here, there’s no need to worry.]

[As long as the River of Fate takes action and stands on the moral high ground, it will be invincible.]

[The reason the River of Fate was at a disadvantage in previous confrontations with the River of Time was that the latter was thick-skinned, occupying the moral high ground to criticize the River of Fate.]

[Now, please leave everything to the River of Fate.]

[Fate will provide a good explanation for all its partners in destiny.]

[During the battle, please wait a moment, God of Wealth…]

[The River of Fate holds the upper hand and is delivering a severe beating to the River of Time.]

[Under the benevolent education of the River of Fate, the River of Time suddenly developed a conscience, momentarily releasing a breath of kindness.]

[But the Dark River remains the Dark River; even though it has realized its mistakes under the guidance of the River of Fate and acknowledges that it shouldn’t deceive the River of Fate’s good friend,]

[It insists that all transactions are backed by a fair contract signed with the God of Wealth.]

[The God of Wealth acknowledges the Time and Space contract, and the River of Time has indeed paid a certain cost for that.]

[Therefore, even if the River of Fate beats the River of Time a hundred times, the River of Time will still be stubborn, refusing to give back the wealth it has already taken.]

[The River of Fate feels helpless about this.]

Su Wen’s expression didn’t change; he had expected all of this.

After all, the two rivers were evenly matched, and it was unlikely that one could completely dominate the other.

Otherwise, their relationship wouldn’t be one of constant bickering.

The key point is, given the River of Time’s greed for wealth,

if the River of Fate simply wanted to beat it up, the River of Time might not fight back if the River of Fate had the moral advantage.

But trying to take wealth from the River of Time would be like snatching food from its mouth.

At that point, the River of Time wouldn’t hold back—it had fought tooth and nail to get that wealth, so why would it just hand it over?

So, everything was as expected.

[Friendly God of Wealth, you still don’t trust the River of Fate enough.]

[While the River of Fate can’t pry the wealth from the River of Time’s grasp, it can help you with some of your debt issues.]

[Take, for example, that so-called one-year interest-free repayment agreement you signed with the River of Time.]

[Normally, the River of Time has already made a hefty profit from the last deal.]

[So, you don’t actually have to repay that so-called borrowed money at all!]

[Especially when you consider the 10% annual interest after the grace period—the River of Fate can’t help but feel bad for your naivety.]

[This kind of contract… the River of Fate is really curious how you managed to sign it.]

Su Wen: “……”

Why did the River of Fate’s words sound so familiar?

It was almost like he was using the same kind of language as Fighting God. Had he really sunk to the level of sharing descriptors with Fighting God?

Well, whatever!

The River of Fate tore up the IOUs worth hundreds of billions, so let the insults come.

Even if they were outright, they’d be worth it.

Getting insulted once in exchange for hundreds of billions? That’s a pretty good deal!

[While the River of Fate was busy punishing the River of Time, it stumbled upon the IOU signed by the God of Wealth.]

[Then, right in front of the River of Time, the River of Fate completely destroyed the IOU from its very source!]

[The River of Time stared in shock as the IOU was torn apart, then began to roar in fury…]

[But what did it matter?]

[Seeing the River of Time so angry made the River of Fate ecstatic!]

[What a rush!!!]

[The battle erupted!]

[Amid the fighting…]

“The River of Fate is really something!”

Su Wen couldn’t help but admire the River of Fate’s actions.

As expected!

Without comparison, there’s no perspective!

Compared to the River of Fate, the River of Time seemed downright shady.

Is this what a river’s craft looks like?

I’m impressed!

After a moment of thought, Su Wen asked the River of Fate about the battle’s progress, but getting no response, he left the God of Wealth’s office.

The situation here was temporarily resolved.

Once the River of Fate sorted out the war, he’d start cross-timeline trades again.

“Hmm?”

As Su Wen left the God of Wealth’s office, he saw Fighting God floating in the air, clearly undergoing the Memory Legacy.

“The price might be low, but it still carries the right weight!”

“After all, the sub-timelines of me have all died, but Fighting God is still alive.”

Five hundred years of Memory Legacy—that’s a long stretch of time!

Just as he was thinking, Fighting God suddenly opened his eyes.

“You’re done already?”

Su Wen glanced at Wind God and Shadow God, who were just starting their Memory Legacies, and couldn’t help but ask.

Xiao Feng and Xiao Ying had only just begun, hadn’t they? How was Fighting God already finished?
