236- A glimpse into Orochi's Un-orthodox ways of Becoming Rich

Orochi, who was now walking normally towards the exit of the town, that is towards the town gates; suddenly heard sounds of explosions,

Immediately he turned around and saw that a few hundred meters away from his location, various flares were fired towards the sky, and the whole sky in that area was now covered with red and black colors.

The sight looked extremely terrifying as if a devil had descended at that place and started a massacre such that the blood of humans has dyed the air into red color.

Seeing this scene, Orochi’s expression changed and cursed inwardly,

‘Fusk... that old bastard used flares. If I am not wrong, one of those flare colors represents the order/command of closing down all the exits of the town.’

‘That bastard wants to prevent me from stepping out of this town.’

‘I need to get out of here as soon as possible, or else I will be surrounded by all the Human stage cultivators present in this town.’

But suddenly a smile appeared on his face,

‘But what that old dog doesn’t know is that catching me is not an easy task.’

Without thinking about anything, Orochi hurried towards the town gates.

At the same time, when so many flares were fired, various town guards that were scattered all over the town hurried to their posts, or moved towards Elder Jit Chan’s position or hurried towards all the entry and exits points of the town.

Even some of the high level personnel of the Chan clan started moving after looking at the flare color.

Meanwhile, chaos was brewing among the public. And unfortunately, some areas were already in chaos.

People in various places can be seen running and hurrying all over the streets. Various shopkeepers are also hurriedly closing their shops and trying to get back to their homes.

Small conflicts are also brewing in some places.

But the ones who are the most panicked are those who regularly visit the town of Chans for business or other reasons because they are aware of what it means when flares are fired.

So, they hurried towards the exit points of the town as if their life depended on it.

And the same goes for Orochi, although he is not worried about his life because he is confident that he can escape alive but... he is not willing to expose his full strength in front of others, especially during this period when every rich and powerful group are trying to capture him.

And Orochi is not at all flustered about this.

Instead, he is looking forward to it and hopes that many cultivators from different factions chase him.

Why, you ask?

Or do you think whether he is a retarded person?

Or does he like to be chased like a dog?

Or does he have M characteristics?

If not, why would a normal person want others to chase after him and put his life at risk? When you have the strength to get out of this problem and live a good life.

The reason why Orochi does not want to expose his full strength and why he wants people to chase after him is because there are benefits to it.

What benefits, you ask?

Well, if you look into the “Orochi’s 101 ways of Becoming Rich” and turn into the ‘Un-Orthodox ways of becoming rich’ part- there it is properly written as:

4th Un-Orthodox way:

“Attend events like the auction or some gatherings, where you have to indirectly or directly flaunt your wealth in front others, such that you can entice those greedy people present in those gatherings and they take action against you.”

“When this is done, it means that between you and the other party, enmity is formed and you can retaliate anyway you like.”

“But of course, don’t show full strength because that will make other prey (people) alert and they won’t get involved in your fight or take action against.”

“In the 4th unorthodox way of earning money, it is important to gather as many enemies as possible to maximize the profits obtained from them.”

Points to remember:

1- Flaunt your wealth as much as you can.

2- Try to gather as many greedy people as you can.

3- Make them believe that your strength is weak even when compared to their servants and also, you have a poor background.

4- Make them think that if even if they rob you, they will not face any problems because neither your strength nor your background can do anything to them.

5- Make the situation look like you are retaliating and the justice is on your side because the audience wants to see the ‘good’ win. Because if you are in the ‘evil’ group, then some problem may arise.

Finally, strike like the thunder and gain enormous loot and Exp.

.

So, being an author of his own book, how can Orochi not follow it?

Hence, Orochi has not taken any action.

If Orochi wanted to, he can easily kill Alex Xavier and his father, not to mention he is sure to kill even Elder Jit Chan, but that would make all the other parties wary of him and they will give up.

That would lead to the situation where he would make fewer profits?

That would be like breaking his own legs.

Now, the people of the Willow sword sect and Chan clan have taken action against him, so when he liquifies his grudge, he will gain lots of wealth. And if other factions also get involved in this, then he can liquefy more wealth from their factions.

Not to forget the huge amount of ‘Exp’ he can get after some action.

Hence, Orochi is waiting for a few more factions to get involved, and then... he will strike.

.

Finally, when Orochi reached the town gates, he found that the gates were closed and locked.

And nearly a hundred soldiers, formed a perimeter near the gates and on the town walls, to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the town.

Not to mention another 40-50 soldiers are busy controlling the huge crowd that has formed near the town gates.

This huge crowd of people formed are those who are not part of the town of Chan and they move in and out of the town for different purposes.

Orochi looked at the huge crowd and fell into contemplation.

He observed the situation in front of him and his eyes examined the area with proper concentration.

‘Umm... I can do this the smart way or the hard way or... I can do this in a simple way.’

Orochi thought inwardly.

‘Yep... the simple way is the best way. That way I can make sure everyone who is greedy for my things, will come after me.’

‘And once they receive the information that I have escaped from the town, the number of factions chasing after me will increase, such that I can fill my storage rings and ‘Exp’ bar.’

‘One stone, two birds...’

As soon as he decided his next plan of action, Orochi immediately took action.

First, he moved into a nearby alley but before that, he made sure that the alley he was moving into, was deserted.

After he entered the alley, he quickly reverted back into his previous attire, a white mask appeared on his face.
