Chapter 97 Highly Skilled
The family of Nova Gaze was wealthy, so coming up with ten million dollars was certainly possible. However, if he really took out ten million dollars to recharge BitBonds and tip streamers, his dad would probably give him a good scolding, and the family's financial situation would take a significant hit.
Nova Gaze immediately understood that if Skyview could casually recharge ten million dollars, there were only two possibilities.
First, Skyview sold off family assets to pretend to be rich, but even selling off assets to get ten million dollars meant he was already quite wealthy.
Second, ten million dollars was nothing to Skyview, which meant his wealth was impressive. In front of someone who didn't even care about ten million dollars, Nova Gaze could only be considered middle class.
Nova Gaze thought the second possibility was more likely.
Recharging ten million BitBonds required ten million dollars in cash, and even people with tens of millions in assets couldn't possibly come up with ten million dollars in cash in a short time.
Nova Gaze estimated that if he had to raise ten million dollars in cash, he would have to sell all his city houses and luxury cars. But it only took several hours for Boring Surf to achieve that, which meant that he must be a top-tier billionaire!
Nova Gaze really didn't want to accept this result.
But this result was undeniably true.
Nova Gaze felt very daunted.
He felt he had lost all his dignity!
It was like a world-class boxing champion beating up a kindergarten kid, thinking it was a sure win, only to find out that the kindergarten kid suddenly turned into a top-tier fighter, naturally leaving him stunned.
'Could it be that he used a bug to recharge?'
'Otherwise, it's impossible!'
'Even Erin wouldn't dare to do this!'
Suddenly, Nova Gaze changed his opinion.
He thought, there's no way someone really recharged ten million dollars.
'This must be using a bug!'
'Even someone worth ten million dollars wouldn't do this.'
He firmed his thought.
He decided to ask Megon.
Nova Gaze: [Megon, are you there?]
Megon: [Yes, what's up? I really can't ban this person. If I banned a billionaire who recharged ten million dollars, I wouldn't even know how I died. I really can't do it!]
Nova Gaze: [Don't you think this is very suspicious? He previously used some bug that made my permissions ineffective, and then he suddenly recharged ten million dollars. Don't you think this is too weird?]
Megon: [What exactly are you trying to say?]
Nova Gaze: [I'm saying you should investigate whether he really recharged or used a bug to recharge! If he used a bug, then ban him immediately. Don't let this escalate, or it will lower the capital market's confidence in your Shark platform. If he really recharged ten million dollars, then forget it.]
Megon: [I'll ask.]
What Nova Gaze said made a lot of sense. Megon had been stunned by the ten million dollars in BitBonds, but now that she thought about it, there was indeed something fishy.
After all, someone who previously used a bug couldn't possibly recharge ten million dollars so casually. This possibility was as low as a gamma-ray burst hitting Earth!
'No, I have to ask!' thought her.
Although Megon didn't have much sense of responsibility, she knew figuring out this matter was very important.
Megon quickly went to the finance office.
When she arrived at the finance office, Megon was surprised to find that almost all the company's top executives were there.
Among the executives, second only to Hilda, was Kevin Parker.
Kevin was a descendant of the Parker family and had been friends with Hilda since childhood. They had a very good relationship.
Moreover, they were in the same social class and had a lot in common.
When Hilda started the company, Kevin invested a lot, so Kevin was now a great help to Hilda and the second-largest shareholder in the company.
Hilda was currently busy negotiating with Penguin Company about acquisition and investment, so the company's internal affairs were temporarily managed by Kevin.
All the super moderators and executives greeted Kevin respectfully. Kevin now held the real power in the company, and it was better to offend Hilda than to offend Kevin. Kevin was very ruthless, having even sent his subordinates to prison, so everyone had no choice but to be respectful to Kevin.
"You must be here because someone is recharging ten million dollars, right?" Kevin asked everyone with a smile.
It was clear that Kevin was very happy.
There was no live-streaming industry that didn't lose money. Although the Shark platform seemed to be thriving, it hadn't been profitable, and the cash flow had always been very tight. Any slight disturbance, like market volatility or difficulty in financing, could bankrupt the Shark platform.
Although it was currently supported by the Davis and Parker families, it often delayed paying streamers' salaries, which was common in the live-streaming industry. Streamers' salaries were delayed no matter which platform they used. Live streaming was free to watch with no restrictions, and the silent majority wouldn't send gifts. Most people were very rational and wouldn't tip streamers.
Although there were wealthy people, they were very rational. They recharged to achieve some benefits. For example, an accountant might tip a female streamer in exchange for sleeping with her. Money was not easy to earn, after all!
