Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

The next day, Qunyu Pavilion suddenly placed an order for amber at a much higher price than before. It would also help them build a cooperative relationship, so he handed over the goods to Qunyu Pavilion without hesitation.

I thought that returning the deposit and offering an apology would be enough to easily get rid of this immortal, but this is no ordinary apology, but an apology from me, Maocai Gong!

Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful, he went to great lengths to bring in the debt collectors from the Fools' Sect...

If you think that I, the Gentleman of Maocai, am so easily frightened, then you are very wrong. The foolish crowd is not without its own backers.

You think I'd give back the money I've already spent? No way!

Mao Cai Gong secretly gave Chang Hu a wink and whispered, "Quickly go and invite our people here."

After Changhu left, he gave Lu Sheng a bitter smile, pretending to be heartbroken, and began to play the victim: "You don't know, this order was fine originally, but who would have thought that the warehouse would catch fire the next day. As you know, amber is soft and will melt when it comes into contact with fire. My whole warehouse of goods was reduced to ashes overnight. I am also very heartbroken!"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, as if he were watching a wonderful stage performance. He had to admit that the actor's acting skills were superb. If he didn't know the truth, he would have believed him to some extent.

“I don’t listen to excuses, I only care about the results. Anyway, if you don’t deliver the goods, you have to pay the penalty, not a penny less. If you don’t want to pay, that’s fine too, the money will go back to my client in another way.”

Mao Cai Gong's performance came to an abrupt halt. He frowned and stared intently at Lu Sheng: "What do you mean?"

Lu Sheng spoke casually, as if chatting about everyday matters: "It's nothing. I just saw your son playing in the yard. He's quite cute. Isn't he about the right age to start school? Sigh~ Raising a child to school age is no easy feat. Being a parent is tough."

Mao Cai Gong's body trembled violently, his eyes widened as if about to burst, and his entire beard trembled uncontrollably.

"Master! Master! The debt collectors are here!"

At the critical moment, Changhu arrived in time with his backer.

Another debt collector, dressed in a black robe and masked, exuded a chilling aura.

"What's the rush that you called me here? If you dare waste my time, you'll regret it!"

"Brother Nikolayev, one of your colleagues has come to collect a debt from me. What do you think..."

"Who is it? I don't know them."

Nikolayev looked up and saw Lu Sheng sitting on the wall, and his heart skipped a beat.

“This mask does indeed belong to our Fools, but I don’t recognize him! You wait here, I’ll go ask him.”

He stepped forward and asked, "Hey! You! Where are you from?"

Lu Sheng was speechless. Are all the local fools this rude?

"You're asking me? I should be asking you! Whose subordinate are you?"

"Me? Of course I'm Lord 'Young Master's' subordinate. And who are you subordinate to?"

Upon hearing that the man was a subordinate of the young master, Lu Sheng chuckled and immediately put on a rude face.

"I thought you were something special, but you're just a dog under 'Young Master's' command. You asked who I was? Listen carefully, I work for 'Lady'!"

"Your 'young master' is merely a lowly seated person, while my 'lady' is the eighth seated person. In terms of seniority, you should address me as 'superior.' You have no right to speak here, get out of here!"

Nikolayev grew increasingly enraged, shouting, "This seat belongs to the executive officer! What does it have to do with us debt collectors? What makes you think you're my superior? Are you even worthy?!"

"Oh? You want to challenge me to a duel?"

Lu Sheng leaped down from the wall with lightning speed and slapped Nikolayev across the face.

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 43: The Traveler's Debt Is Due Again

Stunned by the slap, Nikolayev recalled the day he first joined the Fools.

The young master said to himself, "It's alright, do whatever you want, because you are a member of the Fools, and you are the Executor's subordinate."

How unreasonable! ! !

If the executor slapped him like that, he wouldn't utter a sound, but the other party is also a debtor, so why should he?!

Nikolayev suddenly turned his head, but the dagger at his waist was still not drawn.

*Slap!* Another backhand slap landed on his face.

"You dare glare at me? Lower your head! Today, on behalf of the lady, I'll teach you a lesson, you disrespectful beast!"

Seeing that he was about to draw his knife, Lu Sheng kicked Nikolayev's wrist, sending the half-drawn dagger back into place.

Before Nikolayev could make a further move, Lu Sheng preemptively struck, crackling his palm as he pushed Nikolayev's chest, numbing him with electric shock.

A barrage of slaps rained down on him.

Snapped!

"This slap is on behalf of the young master. It's for your lack of manners and for making you lose face."

Snapped!

"This slap is on behalf of the lady for speaking arrogantly and disrespectfully to her elders."

Snapped!

"This slap is on behalf of the Empress, for you who eat the Empress's food but act as a dog for others in a foreign country."

Snapped!

"This slap is for myself, for your overestimation of your abilities, your blindness, and your attempt to lay a hand on me!"

Snapped!Snapped!

"These two slaps were for your parents. Don't ask me why, I don't know either. Figure it out yourself!"

After a barrage of slaps, Nikolayev felt dizzy and his anger had reached its peak, but he couldn't move his body and could only let the slaps hit his face one after another.

Mao Cai Gong and Chang Hu watched in stunned silence.

The powerful figures they were so proud of were being beaten like sons, yet they didn't fight back or retaliate.

Could it be that there are differences even among these fools?

"You dare hit me! You're asking for it!"

Finally, Nikolayev used the power of the Evil Eye to dispel the paralysis caused by the electric shock, and a ball of flame ignited on his body, which was the long-suppressed anger in his heart bursting forth in a tangible form.

He no longer cared about rules; all he wanted was to chop the person in front of him into pieces and throw him out to feed the dogs!

brush!

The dagger was drawn, its flaming blade flashing and creating a gust of air.

Lu Sheng bent over to dodge the blow, puzzled. He had only slapped the man a dozen times, yet the man wanted to kill him. He was really petty.

He pushed off with his toes, creating a gap behind him, and more than a dozen icy arrows materialized behind him.

With a flick of his finger, the icy arrows shot towards Nikolayev in unison.

Those who can sit in the position of debt settlement officer are not to be underestimated. Seeing the rain of arrows coming, Nikolayev gripped his knife with both hands and spun around like a top, creating a fiery tornado that blocked all the icy arrows.

"I'm going to kill you today!"

Nikolayev stopped spinning, bent over, and then his body transformed into a tongue of fire, rushing towards Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng raised his hand and conjured an ice mirror to block his way.

Boom!

Nikolayev crashed into the ice mirror, which made a dull cracking sound, followed by several cracks extending outward from the point of impact.

With a sharp crack, the entire ice mirror shattered.

Nikolayev himself was thrown back by the powerful impact, shook his head, and looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.

He actually managed to block my attack; his strength is indeed formidable!

Lu Sheng thought to himself, "To think that it could shatter the ice mirror, only Gan Yu has ever broken my shield."

Did I overestimate Ice Mirror's strength, or does this guy really have that kind of power?

Sigh~ I really don't want to get entangled with this troublesome guy.

Unfortunately, this is inside the city, so I can't use my ultimate move. Otherwise, I would have killed this guy instantly.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng saw Mao Cai Gongzheng sneaking away.

This is not okay.

He left Nikolayev behind and caught up with Maocai Gong in just a few strides.

Changhu tried to stop him, but before he could even get close, he was punched into the wall and knocked unconscious.

"Don't go! Want to experience the thrill of a near-death experience?"

"No, no, no... I don't want to!" Mao Cai shook his head like a rattle drum.

"It's not up to you whether you want to or not!"

Lu Sheng grabbed Mao Cai Gong by the back of his collar and used him as a human shield in front of himself.

Nikolayev then pursued him like a mad dog.

Mao Cai Gong was terrified and shouted, "Nikolaev! What do you want? I'm in his hands! Don't forget the benefits I gave you!"

However, Nikolayev, blinded by rage, paid no heed to any of this. Instead of slowing down, he swung his sword faster and slashed down at Maocaigong.

"what!!!"

Mao Cai Gong let out a miserable cry, closed his eyes, and awaited his death.

At the critical moment, Lu Sheng pulled him back, and Mao Cai Gong felt the scalding blade only inches away from his neck.

On his deathbed, he seemed to see his great-grandmother beckoning to him kindly from heaven.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him. You took so much money from them, how could you really bring yourself to do it? Even I couldn't do such a thing."

As Lu Sheng cursed, he took advantage of Nikolaev's missed swing of his sword, drew a circle with his body, and threw Mao Cai Gong towards the other party like a discus throw.

Mao Cai Gong never imagined in his life that he would one day be used as a weapon.

Bang!

The two collided, and Mao Cai Gong's old bones creaked and cracked, as if several of them had broken.

Nikolayev stumbled backward, leaving his chest wide open.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze automatically locking onto the evil eye on the other person's chest.

"Hmph! Someone like you doesn't deserve this power at all. Give it to me!"
