Inside the Northland Bank, the lady's face was a little cloudy.
She naturally knew that the young man in front of her, who seemed nothing special, was actually the embodiment of the oldest and most powerful god on the continent.
Even before leaving Solstice and heading to Liyue on her mission, the Empress gave her instructions
not to disobey the Emperor's will.
But it was too risky for an unrelated fellow to hear about the gods' power over the world,
too much she could afford.
To put it more seriously, this is a plan to steal the country, and if it is spread by this man, the reputation of the Fatui will be completely ruined.
Although she knew that the Fatui themselves did not have a good reputation, as a diplomatic organization, it had not yet reached the point of being rejected by the countries.
But if the East Window incident happens, maybe the Fatui will really have to send a task force to infiltrate the countries in order to plan the Ice Empress's plan.
And this, for the lady, and for the Fatui as a whole, is unacceptable.
Thinking of this, the lady then spoke
, "With all due respect, Lord Morax, the matter we are going to discuss next is a matter of great importance to the future of the entire Liyue and Solstice, and it is really uneasy for me to be watched by the idlers. The
lady focused on the four words such as idle people and aggravated the tone, which made Zhang Yuan extremely uncomfortable to hear.
He couldn't help but ask
, "Then what kind of person does the lady think is not an idle person?"
A trace of unhappiness flashed in the lady's eyes, and Zhang Yuan's tone of respect sounded very rushed.
These words penetrated the ears of the lady as if the sound of a plate with a sharp object was unpleasant.
"Of course, if you are a full member of the Fatui and have a relationship with the noble lord in front of you, you are not among the idlers. "
Hey, that's really embarrassing!" Zhang
Yuan smiled, and he took out the work card of the Northland Bank from his arms.
"I happen to be one of the Fatui!"
"Interesting, let me see!" Out
of the darkness came another man, dressed in a finely woven crewneck blue sweater, also wrapped in a large coat, but the color scheme was made black to match the tone of the clothes.
The appearance is graceful, but the simple black-framed glasses set it off extremely shrewdly, and the eyes are narrowed into a slit.
Zhang Yuan instantly became nervous, you must know that in the two-dimensional world, it is often the big boss behind the scenes who squints.
After this person stood still, he first bowed slightly towards Old Man Zhong.
"It's a faux pas, contemptible Pantarone, the ninth seat of the Fatui, and the president of the Northland Bank.
He reached out and took Zhang Yuan's work card, and after examining it carefully, he returned it with a smile.
"Yes, it's true.
"Besides, I've heard the head of Liyue Bank in Liyue mention that a native of Liyue joined the Fatui and worked as an accounting clerk at Northland Bank, and he was very efficient, but he was transferred to more important work by Ajax, so I'm talking about you.
Pantarone looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile on his face, but for some reason, Zhang Yuan could feel a faint coercion from his kind face.
It's like the pressure he felt when he faced the leader in the company before he crossed over.
Wait, no.
He just said that he is the president of the Northland Bank, and he is my immediate boss...
And he seems to say that he is the Fatui Executive, the ninth seat, [the rich] Pantarone?
The amount of information was too large for a while, and Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel that his brain was a little overheated, and he froze in place.
"Yes, exactly. And he also made a contract with me that he would be on standby wherever I appeared during working hours. "
It was the emperor who took over the conversation, and added a new blow to the lady's psychological defense.
The lady was a little speechless for a moment, and then cast an angry glance at the rich man.
"I didn't expect you to leave Solstice very often in Pantarone, but you're well informed!"
"Rosalyn, that's your narrow-mindedness. I'm a banker, and the most important thing for a banker is intelligence.
"Besides, I'm not like Puchenera who never leaves the winter, I still have to go out to do business and talk about cooperation!"
the rich man apparently did not get used to the cynicism of the lady, and shot back unceremoniously.
The lenses on his eyes reflected a cold light, and in the face of his old teammates, the rich would tear off the elegant mask of hypocrisy on his face.
There was tension between the two, and there was a momentum that they would start fighting if they didn't agree.
In a matter of moments, the rock flowers flew, forming a thin transparent wall of condensed rock elements between the lady and the rich man, separating the two.
"That's enough, two Fatui executives, don't forget that you're stepping on the land of Liyue!"
the Emperor looked slightly angry, and a rare sparkle of murderous aura appeared in his eyes as calm as the earth, and his body was enveloped in an earthy yellow energy.
The ladies and the rich men were so shocked by the Emperor's imposition that they retracted their hostility with great interest.
"I'm sorry Lord Morax, for making you laugh. The
rich man bowed gracefully and apologized, not forgetting to pull the lady who was still a little angry.
"It's rude. The
lady bowed slightly, but still glared at the rich man fiercely.
Seeing this, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"Clumsy bitter ploy, but if you insist on it, so good!" he
waved his hand, and a golden contract floated into the air, and automatically appeared in rows of words.
Then, the contract automatically floated in front of Zhang Yuan.
"With this contract, you can't tell the public what you've heard today.
Zhongli waved his hand again, and the rock elements converged into a carbon pen and flew into Zhang Yuan's hand.
Zhang Yuan signed his name on it without thinking.
If you don't say it, you won't say it, anyway, I've already seen it from MHY if you want to say anything...
"Then, the contract is completed, and the one who breaks his word should be punished by eating rocks. The
contract turned into a streamer of light, dissipating into the air, and then Zhongli looked at the lady and the rich man.
"Well, will this move dispel the guards in your hearts?"
"Your Excellency has done so, then I have nothing to say. The
rich man smiled slightly, then bowed again
, and said, "I remember that there are still some business that has not been taken care of, so I will retire first, and if Your Excellency Morax agrees to Her Majesty's covenant, at the end of winter, the contemptible people will hold a banquet in the mansion and wait for the visit."
Zhongli bowed slightly.
When the rich man was gone, the lady raised her little finger disdainfully at his back.
"Capitalists always like to play tricks that trick people's hearts, and Lord Morax forgive me, I have come here to make a new covenant with the Emperor on behalf of Her Majesty.
"Let's talk about it.
Seeing that Zhongli didn't react, the lady showed an unexpected smile, and then dropped a "bombshell".
"We, the Empress, have heard that Her Excellency Morax is trapped in earthly politics and wants to relinquish power to mortals, but she lacks a proper ordeal, so she continues to wander through the world in her incarnate form.
"The Fatui can give a little boost, and after mobilizing the tension throughout the city, summon the Abyssal Demon God Osir.
"That way, without your help, it'll be clear whether Liyue will survive the next disaster.
"Of course, the price you have to pay is only your God's heart. "
After all, you don't want it for a long time, do you?"
Zhongli chuckled, causing the lady to pause.
"In terms of general reason, I can't agree to this deal. "
