Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 86 Ma Hongjun and Oscar become stalkers

Suddenly, Xiao Wu stood up, gripping the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.

She lowered her head and gritted her teeth, saying:

"Xiaoyu, I like you. I'm willing to accept your thoughts. Thank you for telling me this. As long as you still have me in your heart, I'm satisfied."

Bai Yu was taken aback. Why are you thanking me?

Does she mean that I told her these things before I had established relationships with other women, so that she would feel respected?

Sure enough, those with a romantic mindset can always justify themselves.

Bai Yu temporarily abandoned his idea of ​​turning Xiao Wu into a banner slave and dispelled the illusion.

Xiao Wu, who was leaning on Bai Yu's shoulder, slowly woke up and saw the bustling money exchange. She immediately stood up.

Bai Yu feigned ignorance and said:

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu looked completely bewildered.

Bai Yu asked:

Did you have a nightmare?

"Nightmare?"

"Yeah, you waited too long and fell asleep on my shoulder."

Xiao Wu blinked. Is that so?

It must be. I never thought I would have such a dream. I knew it. Why would Xiaoyu say those things to me?

But what if it's true?

If it's true, I might make the same choice as in my dream?

Xiao Wu seemed to be inspired by a "dream," and her thoughts wandered for a moment.

Bai Yu laughed:

"Xiao Wu, if you can't wait, why don't you go shopping over there? I'll wait for you here after I withdraw the money."

Xiao Wu immediately perked up and said with a grin:

"You said it yourself!"

After saying that, Xiao Wu ran out.

After seeing Xiao Wu leave, Bai Yu went straight to the VIP channel, took out his black card, and asked to see Boss Qian.

The staff led him to a VIP room to wait. Soon, Boss Qian hurried over and was puzzled when he saw that Bai Yu was a stranger.

"May I ask who you are?"

Bai Yu smiled slightly:

"Boss Qian, what's wrong? You don't recognize me now that you've taken off your mask?"

As he spoke, Bai Yu took out the mask he had worn that day and put it on.

Mr. Qian suddenly realized what was going on and said with a broad smile:

"Good evening, boss!"

Bai Yu smiled:

"I still prefer your defiant self from earlier. Try to come back to your old self."

Mr. Qian was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Boss, was I being arrogant just now?"

"No, I was just making a joke," Bai Yu laughed.

"Let me check the accounts for this period of time."

Boss Qian dared not delay and quickly brought the account book himself.

After checking, Bai Yu confirmed that the other party had not embezzled any funds, nodded, and said with satisfaction:

"The work was done well."

"It's what I should do."

Boss Qian bowed slightly, then, as if suddenly remembering something, said:

"By the way, boss, there's something important coming up. Since you're here, I'd like to ask for your opinion."

"explain."

"The City Lord's Mansion wants to invest in our bank."

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow. He didn't know about the Star Luo Empire, but the banks in the Heaven Dou Empire were considered "semi-state-owned." There were more private banks, and some large banks might have investments from members of the royal family, which meant they had connections with the royal family, hence the term "semi-state-owned."

The money exchange in Soto City is privately owned, and it was jointly established by the Qian family behind Boss Qian, as well as some other large families in Soto City.

However, Bai Yu paid too much when he acquired the money shop, and the owner of the money shop handled all the procedures by himself, so Bai Yu didn't feel any trouble.

Bai Yu asked:

"Royal investment should be a good thing, but judging from your tone, is there something else going on?"

Mr. Qian nodded:

"You're right. The city lord wants to invest, but he doesn't have the money, so he made us a promise that he can provide us with three free assistance sessions in the future."

Bai Yu asked casually:

"What is the city lord's strength?"

"A Soul Emperor of level 68."

Bai Yu was somewhat puzzled. Soto City was located on the most fertile plain in the Barak Kingdom and was known as the Barak Kingdom's granary. It held an important strategic position, yet the city lord was only a Soul Emperor.

Putting everything else aside, Flander and Zhao Wuji are both Soul Saints. With these two near Soto City, how can a Soul Emperor City Lord really sleep soundly?

Boss Qian probably guessed what was going on and laughed:

"The city lord of Soto City is the son-in-law of a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Bai Yu suddenly realized.

It turns out that the royal family is behind it all, so it's not surprising.

Bai Yu casually said:

"Since he has royal connections, let's agree to his request and give him 15% of the shares, deducted from my share."

Mr. Qian was very grateful upon hearing this.

After all, although the city lord is a Soul Emperor and has made three promises of free assistance, a promise is still a promise. The major families of Soto City will not feel at ease until the money is in their pockets.

But Bai Yu directly said he would deduct it from his share, which is equivalent to using his own money to exchange for three opportunities to seek help from the bank free of charge. What a good boss!

Just as Boss Qian was thinking this, Bai Yu laughed and said:

"What are you thinking? These three chances are all mine. If you have problems you can't solve, you can use one at most."

"How about this, we'll draft a contract. For every opportunity you use it, you give me 20% of the shares. There won't be two opportunities. Last time, I acquired 80% of the shares by myself. If you use it once, the money shop will be mine!"

Mr. Qian smiled wryly. Sure enough, no merchant is honest.

Bai Yu laughed:

"Fine, you can refuse, but then you'll have to give up 15% of the shares. However, I only have one of my three chances, because I'm the majority shareholder."

Mr. Qian was speechless. The major families only held 20% of the shares. Would they be willing to give up 15%?

While Boss Qian was working on the plan, Bai Yu was wondering if the City Lord's Mansion was so poor that it needed to invest in a money shop.

Soon, Boss Qian returned and said:

"Boss, I've already made appointments with the heads of several major families to sign contracts tonight at the biggest restaurant in town."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said:

"You go and speak on my behalf."

Boss Qian nodded. As long as the money is right, anything is negotiable.

. . . . . .

That evening, Bai Yu and Xiao Wu also went to a restaurant for a meal. Bai Yu used the excuse that the bank was having a promotion to thank its users and was treating them to dinner.

The naive Xiao Wu didn't bother to verify anything. Busy eating, she quickly finished her meal and dragged Bai Yu along to find a hotel to study.

Bai Yu was speechless.

"Xiao Wu, it's too early now. Why don't we go to the night market near the Soul Arena?"

Xiao Wu thought about it and agreed; strolling through the night market would be fun too.

So the two headed towards the Soul Arena. They strolled around the night market for a long time. The vendors packed up their stalls one after another, and the Soul Arena also closed for the day. A beautiful young woman with purple hair and a high ponytail came out.

At this moment, another staff member from the fighting arena caught up and said:

"Yanran, shall I take you home?"

Yanran glanced at him and said in a tone that kept strangers at bay:

"Thank you, but no need."

As she spoke, she took long strides and walked towards home, swaying her hips.

However, what she didn't know was that three pairs of eyes were secretly watching her greedily.

Ma Hongjun patted Oscar on the shoulder and said:

"Little Ao, I wasn't wrong, was I? It's really spicy!"

Oscar stared intently, saying nothing.

Ma Hongjun patted him again, and he finally came to his senses. He subconsciously wiped his mouth and asked:

"What are we supposed to do?"

"Follow them and see what happens."

"Is this...okay?"

"So cowardly? While Boss Dai is out having fun with his mistress, wouldn't it be better for the two of us to have this girl all to ourselves?"

Oscar thought about it and agreed!

Anyway, no one else knows except the two of them; it's completely undetectable!

The two men quietly followed, while in the shadows, a sleazy figure also followed.
