Infernal Artist

The castle door opens.

In the huge main hall, there stands a statue of a flying bird.

Liu Ping walked straight to the statue and looked at it carefully.

"Isn't it strange why there is a bird sculpture in the center of the Devil's Bank?"

A female voice sounded.

I saw a noble lady holding a Luo fan walking down the steps, wearing a crown studded with gems on her head.

"Yes, why is there such a sculpture in the Hellfire Bank?" Liu Ping asked.

"Because when it was first established, it borrowed capital from us, the Thorn Bird Clan. In order to pay tribute to us, it erected a statue like this in the main hall - Hello, I am the Queen of Thorns, Lahuaanna." The lady greeted slightly.

"I'm Liu Ping." Liu Ping cupped his hands.

"I know you - but I never knew that you were actually an ally of our Thorn Birds." The Queen of Thorns said, walking up to him and looking at the ring on his finger carefully.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen seems to be very concerned about this ring?" Liu Ping said.

"Because His Majesty has been missing for a long time. It is said that he heard some prophecy of annihilation, so he went to look for the strong man who could save our clan - but he has been gone for too long, and we have lost contact with him." The Queen of Thorns said.

Liu Ping said: "This ring..."

"It has his exclusive aura on it. If I use a secret method, I can find him." The Queen of Thorns said.

"Then give it a try. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Liu Ping took the ring off his finger and threw it directly.

The Queen of Thorns borrowed the ring, looked at him unexpectedly, and said softly: "You should know that the wealth in this ring is not a small amount."

"This ring has indeed helped me a lot, so I have always been somewhat grateful to the king. Now is the time for me to repay the favor," Liu Ping said.

"Thank you very much." Queen of Thorns bowed seriously.

"You're welcome. In fact, I also want to know about his safety." Liu Ping said.

The Queen of Thorns no longer waited, held the ring in her palm, and quickly recited a long spell.

Following the spell, the ring gradually floated and emitted a misty light.

"It will reveal every piece of information that happened recently." Queen of Thorns explained.

Liu Ping nodded.

The next second.

The light from the ring flew out and turned into lines of small words, appearing in front of everyone:

"User: Liu Ping, human, withdrawn treasure: The Silmarillion of All Souls' Lament, transaction object: Hellfire Demon God (in the past three days);"

"User: Liu Ping, human, withdrawn treasure: The Silmarillion of All Souls, Transaction object: Medea (nearly three days);"

"User: Liu Ping, human, withdrawn treasure: Dark Soul Diamond, transaction object: Maria (last three days);"

"..."

Liu Jing watched quietly.

Bai Lang whispered behind him: "Hey, isn't this just bank flow?"

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of magic to check bank statements. As expected of the Thorn Birds, they can even do this kind of thing." Luo Xingchen also whispered.

Suddenly, Liu Ping made a silent gesture.

The two of them immediately closed their mouths and followed his gaze towards the sky.

I saw a new line of small words floating in the air:

"User: King of Thorns, leader of the Thorn Bird Clan. Treasure withdrawn: Flower Sea Gem. Transaction object: Flower Demon Mei Niang (last three days)."

As soon as these small words appeared, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed.

The Queen of Thorns exuded a faint murderous aura, but with a decent smile on her face, she said softly: "Your Majesty seems to be fine. After all, a bitch like the flower demon Mei Niang can only make men happy, and she has no courage to kill people."

Liu Ping opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

I was really worried about that buddy's safety, so I handed over the ring.

Who knew this would be the result?

The Queen of Thorns turned around and said considerately: "Liu Ping, you don't have to think too much. In fact, he is using you as a shield to share this ring with you - it's just that he has too much private money, and one or two yuan is missing. A gem or something, and you won’t notice it.”

"Indeed, I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay attention." Liu Ping sighed.

The Queen of Thorns thought for a moment, then took off another ring from her finger and placed it in Liu Ping's hand.

"The king uses private money to use for his allies. This is not appropriate and will make people laugh. Please use this ring."

Before Liu Ping could say anything, she added: "As for the Hellfire Bank matter, we Thorn Birds support you 100% as the heir - I have already ordered people to handle this matter."

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen." Liu Ping didn't know what she was talking about, but he still greeted her.

"I won't say more to you now. Once the king is found, we will come to visit you together." Queen of Thorns said.

"Okay, walk slowly." Liu Ping said.

The Queen of Thorns smiled at him again and waved her hand to open a portal.

She stepped in and said to the maids waiting inside: "Come here, I want to save His Majesty the King myself and get my whip and the various torture instruments that I have been collecting..."

The portal gradually closed and the sound disappeared.

Outside the door, Liu Ping, Bai Lang, and Luo Xingchen all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although she is not outstanding in terms of strength, it does not prevent me from treating her as an idol." Luo Xingchen said.

"I'm scared to death...I won't get married in the future..." Bai Lang murmured.

Liu Ping looked at the ring in his hand and saw lines of small burning characters floating above it:

"The Ring of Thorns."

"Explanation: The key to the treasury of the Kingdom of Thorns can be used to withdraw any treasure in the kingdom at any time."

"——Only by gaining the trust of both King and Queen of Thorn Birds can you have a chance to obtain this ring."

Liu Ping put the ring on his finger, but saw the statue in front of him suddenly moved.

The stone carved thorn bird flashed its wings and suddenly came to life. It stretched out its beak and pecked at the void. It held a scroll in its mouth and placed it in front of Liu Ping. Then it flew back and stopped moving.

The scroll is spread out.

Liu Ping looked at it carefully and sighed: "The Queen, as one of the seven bank directors, announced her support for me to inherit the Hellfire Bank."

"You already own half of the entire bank's property. You just killed a director and gained the support of the Thorn Bird. It shouldn't be a problem now, right?" White Wolf asked.

"I guess some blind people will jump out. After all, there is such huge wealth and power." Liu Ping said.

The void suddenly opened several windows.

——Compared with last time, there are only five windows left.

The five board members stood in front of their respective windows, overlooking Liu Ping below, with different expressions.

"Even the Thorn Birds support you, so there's nothing we can do to stop you." One person said.

"But you are too young and you are human after all. I am afraid there will be many people in the bank who have doubts - this will affect the operation of the entire bank." Another person said.

The remaining three nodded in agreement.

Liu Ping said: "I have a series of work measures. Once implemented, they will definitely dispel all doubts and stimulate the enthusiasm of all bank members. After all, we are here in purgatory. Once everyone knows what my style of work is, they will You will definitely behave better.”

The five directors looked at each other.

One director shook his head and said: "Young man, this is not how business is negotiated. We need to put forward some conditions. If you can-"

His head suddenly disappeared.

The headless body staggered, flipped out of the window, and fell to the white floor, splattering with crimson blood.

The white wolf flew back from the window and handed the head to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping took the head and raised it casually.

thump!

The head fell into the fountain pool and gradually turned into a ball of blood, floating in the water, rising and falling uncertainly.

The four directors looked at the heads in the pool and fell silent for a moment.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "Listen, I know you have huge forces and countless subordinates behind you, but I don't care at all. Now that the first work measure has been implemented, do you want to work hard, or do you want to continue to watch my second work? A work measure?”

Behind him, Luo Xingchen whispered to Bai Lang:

"You're too fast, I haven't even made a move yet."

"You kill the next one." Bai Lang whispered.

"good……"

Luo Xingchen looked at the remaining directors, seeming to be selecting targets.

suddenly.

One director said, "I'm going to do the work."

He disappeared from the window.

Liu Ping looked at the remaining people and continued: "When it comes to doing things, do them well. If someone does something bad, I will kill your whole family. But if you do well, I will not be stingy with rewards at all. To be honest, I don't care about money. , I want this bank for other purposes, do you understand?"

"Yes, I'll go down and do some work right now." Another director said.

The other two nodded.

All windows disappear.

The directors were gone.

"I'm afraid this matter isn't over yet." Bai Lang mused.

"Of course it won't be that simple. After all, this is the richest institution in the entire purgatory. Who would be willing to share such a huge piece of meat with others?" Luo Xingchen sneered.

Liu Ping also nodded and said: "My Thousand Tribulation Realm has not ended yet. They will definitely take this opportunity to find a way to get rid of me. Otherwise, they will have no hope when I advance to the next realm."

He glanced into space.

I saw a line of burning small words floating there motionless:

"The time Li Changxue, Yana and Maria can persist is: 35 hours."

It took an hour to make initial progress.

Be quick next time!

You must accomplish what you want to do as quickly as possible!

Liu Ping was thinking silently when he suddenly saw the void opening.

A black scepter fell gently and stopped in front of Liu Ping.

"Your Excellency, the successor of the Hellfire Demon God, please inherit this scepter and become the helmsman of the Hellfire Bank from now on."

A director's voice sounded.

Liu Ping looked towards the scepter and saw lines of small burning characters appearing in the void:

"The Staff of the Hellfire Bank."

"Explanation: The person holding this staff can command the entire bank and is the actual controller of the bank."

"——A symbol of money and power."

Liu Ping smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the scepter and said, "Yes, this is a good start."
