Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Now the direction of the investigation is very clear: if you want to bribe Fontaine officials, an essential part is the Mora deal. The Northern Bank's finances are not subject to Fontaine supervision, making it the best platform for behind-the-scenes transactions.

Since it's an expenditure, it must have a source. We just need to find out who distributed this money from the Northern Bank, and the truth will come to light.

Lu Sheng had already locked onto a candidate in his mind, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would be him: the ninth seat of the Fools—"The Rich Man".

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 166: Great Love

Lu Sheng understood Claurind quite well.

Imagine, the outstanding talent you personally promoted turned out to be a mole lurking in your midst, a traitor to the country, a collaborator. How could a superior not feel angry and saddened?

People like Sith are not a minority in Fontainebleau; eliminating one is only a temporary solution.

It can only be said that the instigator truly understands the weaknesses of human nature.

He comforted her, saying, "Please accept my condolences, Clarinde. I am also very saddened by this outcome. You didn't lose the bet, and neither did I. I will still teach you swordsmanship. But now, cheer up, we have important matters to attend to."

Clarinde asked, puzzled, "Sith is dead. I couldn't stop him. Now that the trail has gone cold, can we still continue the investigation?"

“Who said the trail went cold? There are so many trails.” Lu Sheng explained, “Since Sith fell into depravity for money, there must be funds he received hidden in his house, and that’s the trail.”

Clarin summoned Melusin to deal with the body of the Sith. After hesitating for a while, she discussed something with Rikuo.

“Master…you may not know about Sith’s family. His parents died in an accident a long time ago, leaving only him and his sister to depend on each other. But his sister has a very serious illness…she’s only alive because of her brother Sith. I beg you not to tell Sith what happened to his sister today when you go to his house…”

Lu Sheng understood and patted Clarinde on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go."

The two arrived at the Sith's house, a very ordinary house, a special house provided by Fontaine to the Shadow Hunters.

Before Sith was chosen to become a Shadowhunter, he and his sister lived in a slum and made a living by stealing.

During one of Clorind's missions, Sith brazenly stole her wallet. Although he was eventually caught, Clorind was impressed by his agility and saw him as a natural-born Shadow Hunter, so she decided to train him.

The two entered the house, which was completely empty except for a table and chairs for meals; there was no other furniture.

It seems that they didn't buy any decorations in order to save money.

Cough...cough cough!!

The sound of a girl coughing came from inside the room.

"Is that my brother back?"

The pale-faced girl leaned out of the doorway, saw Klorind, and forced a smile. "Oh, it's Ms. Klorind... Welcome! Cough cough! I'm sorry, we don't have much to offer."

Claude quickly went over and helped her back to bed.

"Lie down and don't move, Susan. Why do you look so weak? Has your condition worsened again? Have you not been to your treatment recently?"

"I...I'm waiting for my brother to come back so we can go together..."

......

Clarin gritted her teeth and exchanged a glance with Riku.

Knowing that Klorind hadn't thought of what to say yet, Lu Sheng spoke up for her, saying, "Your brother has gone out on a mission and won't be back for a while. He has already asked Klorind to help him with his medical treatment."

"How could I possibly accept that? My brother is really something! He promised to come back early to accompany me to the hospital, how could he lie to me! But I can understand him, after all, he's a Shadow Hunter now, and everything he does is for Fontaine. It's okay, I can take care of myself. My brother must be rushing to go on missions because he can earn more money, I know him best."

As Clarin listened, her eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, unable to face Susan.

Lu Sheng walked out of the room, his emotions somewhat fluctuating.

Although I'm usually a bit naive, it's hard to guard against this kind of genuine emotion that starts from zero frames.

He went to the kitchen, poured Susan a glass of water, and bit his finger, dripping a few drops of divine blood into it.

The Mushroom King possesses immunity to all poisons and powerful regenerative and healing abilities; it's unknown whether diluted blood would have the same effect on mortals.

Anyway, let's give it a try.

After all, Fontaine will belong to him in the future, and saving his people is a god's most basic professional ethic.

Now he's truly become the Great Love Immortal.

"Here, have a glass of water."

Lu Sheng handed over the water glass.

Susan said thank you softly, took the water glass and gulped down several mouthfuls. It was clear that if Siss wasn't home, Susan would have difficulty even getting out of bed to drink water.

"Hmm..." After drinking the water, Susan suddenly let out a slight panting, and her body began to twist.

This greatly worried Clarinde.

"Susan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I...feel so hot...my stomach...it feels like there's something fighting inside..."

This state lasted for less than half a minute. Soon, the girl's pale face turned rosy, and her lifeless eyes regained their youthful brightness.

"It doesn't hurt anymore... I... I don't feel any pain anywhere!"

Susan looked at Claude and Lu Sheng with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Clarind frowned, unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes. Susan, who had previously looked sickly, was now rosy-cheeked and full of energy, as if she had experienced a final burst of vitality before death.

It wasn't until Susan jumped out of bed and bounced around the room without any problems that she believed it wasn't a final burst of energy before death.

She looked at the person next to her with suspicion.

Susan recovered suddenly after drinking Sherlock's water.

He must have added something to the water.

Lu Sheng smiled and spread his hands, exclaiming, "Wow~ This is truly a miracle, isn't it?"

A god can save a person effortlessly, but for a Sith, it takes their life.

Later, the two found one million Mora and the transaction certificate in Sith's room.

The clues above point directly to the Northern Bank.

"It's actually related to the Northern Bank! Is this really the work of the Fools after all?! Interfering in other countries' internal affairs is as commonplace for them as eating and drinking. Aren't they afraid of triggering a war?"

"The war has already started, you just can't see it."

When two countries actually resort to arms, it's already the final stage of war.

The war without gunfire has never stopped for a moment.

"Sigh~ No matter what, the Northern Bank is a special entity in terms of politics. I don't have the authority to lead a search of it; that would be illegal. I must consult Lady Funina and the Grand Justice before deciding whether to investigate the Northern Bank."

"To hell with the law!" Lu Sheng cursed directly. "The upper echelons of Fontaine have long been infiltrated like a hornet's nest. You report up the chain of command, and they pass on the information layer by layer. In the end, even if you do get a search warrant, the bank will have already destroyed all the evidence."

Clarinde hesitated before asking, "Then... should we just barge in?"

"Of course, we'll just barge in! So what if it's illegal? We can just apply for a judicial duel. Tell me, who in all of Fontainebleau would dare to challenge me?"

PS: What kind of outrageous things are these byd Nata? One has a surfboard, another has roller skates, and now there's a horse-riding K-2, followed closely by a Vulcan on a motorcycle. Nata Goba also has time travelers, right? I don't even want to think about what Zhi Dong will evolve into at this rate. This so-called strongest military nation among the Seven Kingdoms, they might as well just have the Queen fly a B-20 equipped with nuclear warheads to bomb Sky Island.

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 167: My Money!!!

Although the Northern Bank of Fontaine may not be as prestigious as Liyue's, it is still a monster among the local banks of Fontaine.

Lu Sheng walked into the bank, and the thought of how he had borrowed billions from the Northern Bank in Liyue and hadn't paid back a single penny made him start to laugh.

"Sir, welcome to the Northern Bank. Are you looking for a loan or a deposit? Oh, Ms. Clarinde! Why did you come in person? You could have just sent someone to let us know what business you needed."

Claudia looked annoyed. "I don't think I have any business dealings with you guys, do I? Why are you being so enthusiastic towards me?"

"Hehe!" The greeter smiled his signature smile and replied, "Everyone is a potential customer. The mission of Northern Bank is to serve every guest who enters the door equally, making them feel at home. And I am the servant of our guests, wholeheartedly serving them."

"Since you're being so polite, please take us to meet your manager," Lu Sheng said.

"Oh? Manager? Is there something urgent for you two? The manager is usually very busy."

"Nonsense! Would you need to see the manager if it weren't important? Miss Klorinde has a multi-million dollar transaction that requires the Northern Bank to act as an intermediary. If you delay Miss Klorinde's business, you'll be arrested and thrown into jail at Shadow Chaser's Court."

Lu Sheng startled the other party, who quickly nodded in agreement and ran into the bank to ask for instructions.

Clarind was very dissatisfied. "Master, what kind of person have you made me out to be? The Shadow Court isn't that scary!"

"It's okay, as long as he finds it scary."

A moment later, the employee rushed out to warmly welcome Clarinde's visit and said that the manager was already waiting for her in the office.

On the way to the office, Lu Sheng couldn't resist teasing Klorind: "You actually have to go see him in person. It seems your reputation means nothing to this manager."

Soon, the two met Harrison, the manager of the Northern Bank in charge of Fontaine's business.

Harrison, wearing glasses, was writing something on a piece of paper with his pen. Hearing footsteps entering the room, he hurriedly looked up and simply said, "Please sit down."

However, neither Claude nor Lu Sheng sat down.

Lu Sheng closed the office door behind him and locked it.

Harrison heard the noise and looked up in surprise, only to find a rapier already pressed against his neck.

"What are you trying to do? Are you robbing a bank?"

Harrison wisely raised his hands.

"Don't be nervous. Don't shout or do anything out of line. The person in front of you is Clarind, Fontaine's strongest dueling agent. No matter what you do, you won't be as fast as her sword."

Claude restrained Harrison, while Lu Sheng sat down in front of him and began to talk to him.

"This is outrageous! A Shadow Hunter of the highest order! How dare he disregard the law like this! He brazenly broke into a bank and violently took people hostage!"

"So what? Mr. Harrison, you need to understand one thing: when a person dies, everything is gone. An elite person like you should understand this very well. So... every choice you make from now on is crucial; it will determine whether you can return to your several-hundred-square-meter mansion tonight, embrace your wife, and hear your child call you 'Dad.'"

Harrison's eyes widened suddenly. "What exactly do you want?"

Lu Sheng tapped his finger on the table and said, "I think you happen to have an account book here that records some transactions that cannot be made public. And coincidentally, many of the names in it are current officials of Fontainebleau."

With each "just right" he said, Harrison's face turned a shade bluer, until finally it was completely green.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have what you're looking for here."

The mouth is quite tough.

"It seems I didn't explain myself clearly just now."

Lu Sheng stood up and walked to Harrison's side. In front of him, he picked up the photo frame on the table. Inside was a family photo that looked very warm and cozy.
