Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1656 Daimon Aftermath -Part 5

That meant whatever assets they had in the first place under Daimon would be placed as property meant to be seized. If they wished to have their assets back, they needed to pay an equivalent amount with interest hinged on it if they decided to pay monthly. That means an asset valued at a million dollars had to be bought back at the very same value it had been seized, which potentially cost the person twice the value.

It was a huge blow for several rich citizens who owed multiple assets but this was the price they had to pay for being running away willingly and wanting to come back just because it\'s safe. Jin wants them to learn that safety of the city needs to be earned regardless of the cost.

Should they be able to pay for their seized properties, then they can petition to get their citizenship reinstated. This also meant more money into the city funds as much as it sounded like it was extortion but if they wished to come back, that\'s the rule the city state had made. Some of the citizens had paid dearly to come back as they saw the opportunities or had already invested too much into Daimon to walk away clearly while others merely left with a fit of anger in them.

The only ones who were truly exempted from this rule were the ones who were medically ill and Daimon had no choice but to send them off for their safety. There was only one city that was willing to take in these terminally ill citizens without conditions and that was Parry City. As much as their lord had been ordered to block the area, they were also the ones who did place any barrier up until Daimon had officially conducted its operations.

As much as they wanted to help, the lord was also in a bind. Jin had learned that if the Lords had taken the Empire\'s tip, they had to close everything but if they did not take the Empire\'s advice, their envoy had threatened to cease communication and relationship. They had no choice but to comply as Parry City was not exactly the most affluent city in the area.

So, in view of the reasoning and support for Daimon Citizens, Jin had allowed the citizens that came back from Parry City a chance. Those who were terminally ill and needed to be transferred there had their hospital costs exempted for the period of strife but unfortunately, they still need to pay the rest themselves if they wish to either extend their stay there or come back to Daimon. Either way, their citizenships were not affected and their immediate relatives were as well. However, those who had run to Parry City for the sake of running away, those citizens would still penalised.

In order to come in since their citizenship had been stripped they should have a valid passport and purchase a visitor pass that cost gold or points. Some of them complained this was unfair but those officers who were also soldiers in the monster outbreak despised them, stating what was unfair was they ran without thinking for the city.

Some people did not like this but a majority felt that this was to make sure that the city\'s sovereignty was not to be taken lightly and people could just flee whenever they want. In light of this, Jin also awarded incentives to those who had stayed and even more rewards for those who had risked their lives in the operations. And these monetary rewards were not limited to the frontlines as the backend support had been given a form of compensation as well.

As for the neighbouring cities that had decided to isolate themselves away from the event, Jin did eventually post up a flat tariff rate of 4% of the price of goods. The only city that differed from them was Parry City which only had a flat tariff rate of 0.01% mainly because Jin kept his promise to tax all of the cities that had been involved. However, after Jin found out that Parry City was the only one who had been quietly accepting the terminally ill and bringing them to safety, this was what Jin could do to thank them.

In turn, Parry City suddenly became the loophole that all the neighbouring cities wanted to be friends with. Jin and the System had expected that and did not stop because they still needed resources and Parry City was the only ally that they had in this world where they created their own enemies. Therefore, he did not care as long as goods still flowed through Daimon.

It may eventually boost Parry City\'s capital because of the sudden investments and perhaps staying in the good books of Daimon might possibly help Parry City in the future even more. Thus, a Memorandum of Understanding had been established to ensure trade between Parry City and Daimon City would be possible through thick and thin times.

Nevertheless, Jin was still looking to be self sufficient and the dungeon raiding had to happen. If the Daimon citizens were not taking up the initiative as he hoped them to be, then his Pandarens got to pick up the slack.? Of course, that also means that those items earned and monsters they killed have to go towards Jin.

And Jin had decided to use the simulation coins as a default way of transaction for them. It was to ensure that simulation coins were the only currency they could use to get rewards.
