Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

Joker clutched the parchment contract tightly.

The clown's leather boots made a messy, clattering sound on the expensive floor tiles.

He stiffly turned his head to look at the high-ranking members of the United Guild around the round table.

"Lord Thousand Eyes, Skeleton Lord, say something!" The Joker's heavy face paint was washed away by sweat, leaving a mottled, grotesque mask. "We're colleagues! How can we let these two brats trample on us? Today she swallowed the amusement park, tomorrow your territory will be the one to suffer!"

The eyeballs on the tumor of the Thousand-Eyed Man rolled around wildly.

We're all in the same boat.

But he had just witnessed the white-haired loli tearing up the Abyss Bank's contract with her bare hands, and the overalls-wearing boy swallowing the A-rank black-robed man whole.

Should we go and invite bad luck at this critical juncture?

He hasn't lived enough yet.

"Brother Joker, you are mistaken." The Thousand-Eyed Man manipulated his tentacles to roll up a rough pottery teacup, obscuring half of his face. "The United Guild has always respected the free trade of each district. You are both from the North District, so this is an internal dispute. It is against the rules for the guild to interfere."

With a snap, the Skeleton Lord twisted his cervical vertebrae behind his back and pretended to count the pieces of plaster that had fallen off the wall.

The other lords all looked down at their toes.

Everyone pretended to be dead.

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes inwardly.

(￣_￣|||)

In my past life, I encountered some old hands in the company who would play dead when taking the blame, and they were just as bad as these strange lords.

Expecting them to be loyal is like hoping the sun will rise in the west.

"Looks like all of Uncle's backers are deaf." Jiang Luo skipped over to Joker with her hands behind her back, leaning half her body out. "It doesn't feel good to be abandoned, does it, you little minx uncle?"

"Don't go too far!"

Joker ground his back teeth, making a grinding sound.

"Lolo, it's time to count to three." Jiang Luo pouted. "Xiao Bai, get your utensils ready to eat."

"Yay!" Jiang Xiaobai launched himself from the small stool.

He stretched his lips into an exaggerated smile, and saliva dripped down his chin onto the expensive carpet.

Acrid black smoke billowed up, and a large hole was burned through the expensive fabric.

Joker couldn't hold on any longer.

The so-called S-level bizarre dignity was shattered into dust.

thump.

The clown slammed down to his knees in front of the small leather shoes.

"I'll sign! I'll sign!" The clown banged his forehead against the stone slab desperately. "My lord, please have mercy! I'll hand over half the players' share, I'll serve Red Moon Castle like a slave, please don't let him eat me!"

"It would have been so much easier to do this earlier."

Jiang Luo stuffed the yellowed parchment into the other person's arms.

She reached out and tugged at the colorful wig.

"Once we sign and put our fingerprints on this document, we'll be a loving family from now on."

Joker bit his fingertip until it bled, then pressed a bright red fingerprint onto the end of the contract.

[Ding! Contract for a subsidiary copy in the same region successfully signed!]

[Congratulations, host! The Red Moon Castle's territory has expanded, and the territory level has been upgraded to level four!]

The system notification tone ended.

Jiang Luo felt a surge of hot air enter his palm from the contract and flow upstream along his meridians.

Her network of perception spread out radially, extending from the perimeter of the castle all the way to the heart of the northern district.

Abandoned streets and collapsed high-rise buildings are all visible.

The steel reinforcement details at the point of fracture in the cross-river bridge were all constructed and formed in the mind.

The sounds of chewing on the mangled limbs of players, which could be heard clearly from dozens of kilometers away, were also clearly audible.

Awesome!

(✧◡✧)

This is the real joy of being a capitalist!

But Jiang Luo tilted her head.

The surge in power encountered resistance before breaking through the critical point, and was abruptly blocked by an invisible barrier.

[The host has encountered a bottleneck in their rank. SS-rank belongs to the high-level sequence of the Abyss. Simply expanding their territory is no longer enough to break through; they need to access deeper layers of code or devour sources of the same level!]

Jiang Luo clicked her tongue inwardly.

To win a Grand Slam without any effort, you need to add a little something extra.

Right now, squeezing these local bullies dry will be a way to make some money.

The parchment transformed into a ray of red light and disappeared into Jiang Luo's palm.

Joker collapsed into a puddle of mud, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.

He huddled in the shadow of the long table, his half-closed eyes filled with resentment.

"Luo Luo's household chores are done, uncles and elders, let's continue the meeting." Jiang Luo climbed back into the large, high-backed chair.

The legs, clad in white leather shoes, swayed rhythmically back and forth in mid-air.

The man with a thousand eyes grabbed a napkin and pressed it against the fine sweat that was beading on the tumor, then pulled open the corners of his mouth.

"Now that Lord Red Moon has resolved the problem, let's continue discussing the details of next month's resource allocation."

The second half of the meeting was dry and uninteresting.

The discussions are all about the percentage of reduced output for players in a certain region.

Jiang Luo covered her mouth and yawned three times, with two tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

She took out a new strawberry lollipop, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into her mouth.

The hard candy was bitten and crunched.

No one in the hall dared to look up and stop this arrogant behavior.

Jiang Xiaobai listlessly picked at the wood grain on the table.

He flicked the remaining eyeballs on his plate like marbles.

He casually grabbed the end of the Skeleton Lord's staff and began to grind his teeth.

The old skeleton could only hug his knees and hide at the very back of the chair.

The highest-level meeting in the city center was reduced to a kindergarten class.

After two hours of hard work, the Thousand-Eyed Man finally finished reading the last page of the parchment.

"The Lords' Meeting is adjourned." The Thousand-Eyed Man slumped into the back of the sofa.

It was more tiring than fighting ten S-level players.

"Are you done talking?" Jiang Luo flicked the small plastic stick into the fruit plate.

She landed lightly and stretched out her arms.

"Little White, go home for a late-night snack. Stella's strawberry cake is getting cold."

"Let's eat cake!"

Jiang Xiaobai casually tossed the half-eaten staff to the ground and ran after the white-haired loli.

Jiang Luo stepped one foot out of the threshold, then suddenly braked and turned back.

"Oh, right, uncles and elders." Jiang Luo waved her small, white hand. "Next time there's a daydreaming session like this, remember to invite Luo Luo to listen in. Luo Luo really needs friends."

No one answered in the vast space.

The eerie bigwigs clenched their teeth and dared not utter a sound.

The thick fog outside the door gathered again, and the two figures, one large and one small, completely blended into the darkness.

The stagnant air began to flow again.

A loud crash.

The Thousand-Eyed Man waved his thick tentacles and split the mahogany table in two on the spot.

Hundreds of eyes were bloodshot and bulging out.

"This is outrageous!"

Overlapping and chaotic roars echoed through the hall, and scattered pieces of wood were shredded into sawdust by the tentacles.

"This mere wild girl from the North District dares to sign a contract right in front of me! She thinks she can turn the world upside down with a gluttonous kid who hasn't even grown up yet?"

"My lord, please stay."

The Skeleton Lord picked up the broken staff from the ground.

The eerie green flames deep within his eyes flickered on and off.

"This girl's strangeness far exceeds our expectations. Her move to interfere with the Abyss Contract with her bare hands is too deadly. If we fight her head-on, we will definitely suffer the consequences."

"Is this all we're going to do?"

The left head of the two-headed hellhound is baring its fangs.

"If they force us to eat at the death trap today, they'll be reaching into our bowls tomorrow. A 30% player quota is basically forcing us all to beg!"

Joker, who was in the corner, used the broken table leg to push himself up.

The painted face revealed several deep, resentful lines.

"My lords, don't hesitate any longer!" Joker spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. "The Red Moon Castle's power is still growing at breakneck speed. If we don't eliminate them now, not even bones will be left!"

The Thousand-Eyed Man exhaled two heavy breaths to suppress his anger.

All eyes were focused on the pile of paper dust on the floor tiles.

"She was lucky to break the initial contract." The Thousand-Eyed Man's voice dropped to freezing. "The Abyss Bank headquarters isn't to be trifled with; those little tricks are nothing but flaws in the eyes of the real higher-ups."

The Skeleton Lord's jawbone slipped and clattered twice.

"Lord Thousand Eyes, are you planning to contact them?"

"Go and call for backup." The Thousand-Eyed Man's tentacles crushed a piece of the cup. "The head office liquidation executive cannot tolerate anyone crossing the line. This little girl publicly removed the company seal, which is tantamount to dancing on the head office's face."

Joker clenched his fists inwardly.

The legendary machine responsible for eliminating SS-class defaulters.

That's pure adjudication code.

Absolutely no personal feelings involved.

"I'll personally go to the Abyss headquarters to submit the evidence." The Thousand-Eyed Man's eyes narrowed to slits. "Once the image of Red Moon Castle breaking the contract is filed, the highest-level liquidation order will take effect immediately. No matter how arrogant the Glutton is, he'll have to obediently return to the sealing chamber."

The other lords exchanged glances and let out sinister laughs.

Even the most wicked lord can't defy the heavens and rewrite the fundamental logic of the universe.

But from the depths of the hall, an untimely, sharp metallic scraping sound rang out.

Click.

Click.

That was the sound of an old-fashioned abacus turning its beads.

The sound effect of the Thousand-Eyed Man's laughter was stuck in my throat.

Hundreds of eyes turned simultaneously to the blind spot.

"Who's playing tricks on me!"

A section of an old tailcoat peeked out from behind a load-bearing column.

A gaunt man wearing a monocle with gold-rimmed glasses stepped into the light.

He was carrying a heavy black ledger under his arms.

The scale emblem is painted in dark red paint in the center of the cover.

The moment the Thousand-Eyed Man saw the full picture of the emblem, his entire body began to twitch.

His voice cracked.

"An auditor from the Abyss Headquarters?"

The visitor lifted the glasses frame with a single finger and flipped open the ledger pages with a clatter.

He casually pulled out a quill pen covered in black mud.

"Thousand-Eyed Aberration, based on regional energy fluctuations, you attempted to convert the head office clearing mechanism for private use, which violates the rule against abusing loopholes."

The man's gaze swept over the mess on the ground.

The edges of the lens refract cold light.

"The head office will immediately initiate compulsory bankruptcy liquidation of your assets. Will you voluntarily hand over the bizarre core, or will I forcibly demolish it on your behalf?"
