Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 702 Large Transaction (6K)

Vina nodded and said, "That would be great. Dong'er, Yuhao, why don't we all agree to travel together after this competition ends? Let's invite everyone from Shrek Academy too. It'll be more fun with more people."

Huo Yuhao sighed and shook his head, saying, "Your Highnesses, we are both very tired today. Please speak frankly. After we finish speaking, we can go back and rest. Alternatively, Your Highnesses can discuss it first and then come to us later."

Hearing Huo Yuhao so directly point out her insincerity, Xu Jiujiu's expression remained unchanged, while Vina's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still smiled charmingly, looking at Xu Jiujiu with a half-smile.

The two princesses looked at each other, but neither seemed willing to speak first, and the living room fell silent.

"As the heir of the Sea God Pavilion, you should know what we're planning to do, right? Your identity as the heir has been unclear for a long time, but as Aotian's fiancée, I certainly do."

Huo Yuhao simply smiled and said, "We at Shrek Academy can't get involved in this mess, but I must remind you that ever since your Body Sect launched that surprise attack, Mingde Hall has already developed a soul tool for predicting underground tremors."

Upon hearing this, Vina and Xu Jiujiu's expressions immediately changed.

If what Huo Yuhao said is true, then they really only have one option: to force their way out.

Huo Yuhao said no more, slowly got up and walked towards Vina, placed one hand on her shoulder, whispered something in her ear, and then drifted away with Wang Dong'er.

"What did he say?"

"We went downstairs to find the people from the Soul Hall. Huo Yuhao left behind a contingency plan that he had prepared in advance. It was originally meant for the people from the Soul Hall, but he gave it to us."

Vina explained something to Xu Jiujiu before quickly getting up and leaving.

After leaving the hotel, Huo Yuhao didn't rush to do anything, but instead accompanied Wang Dong'er on a tour of Mingdu.

They were like two tourists. As the competition drew to a close, the audience's emotions grew increasingly high, and the entire Mingdu was bustling with noise.

The two squeezed through the crowd, wandering aimlessly through Mingdu with the flow of people. Huo Yuhao even bought a lot of trinkets along the way, until at a certain corner, the spy responsible for keeping an eye on the two completely lost track of them.

"Fuck you!"

The spy in charge of keeping watch cursed.

Now is the busiest time in the twenty years of Mingdu. Almost every place is densely packed with people. Looking down from above, the surging heads are no different from the black tide.

Trying to keep watch under these circumstances is really asking too much. Not to mention, quite a few tourists took pictures of him while he was lying on the roof keeping watch.

After all, when the whole city is packed, you'll be surprised to find that any place with even a little less traffic will be flooded with tourists—even rooftops are no exception.

"Go away, go away! What are you tourists doing on the rooftop?!"

The Soul Master in charge of keeping watch waved his hand dismissively.

"Then why are you allowed to stay on the roof?"

The tourists on the rooftops didn't back down, glaring at the scout, leaving him speechless with anger.

He can't exactly admit that he was spying on someone, can he?

Under Huo Yuhao's mental detection, the conversation between the spy and the tourists naturally did not escape his perception, and the two exchanged knowing smiles.

The two walked a long way and went in circles before finally heading towards their destination. A full half hour passed before they stopped in a dark corner.

In a short while, a person walked over from the other side of the road.

This person was none other than Chen An, the manager of the Golden Hall of the Qingse Hotel under the Xishui Alliance.

"My lord." Chen An saw Huo Yuhao in the shadows and quickly bowed.

Having witnessed the previous Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition, he had even greater respect for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's abilities in that match truly broadened his horizons.

That's the true power of a powerful evil spirit master!

This is why his work efficiency has naturally become higher.

"How did things go?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly.

Chen An quickly took out a form and handed it over with both hands: "It's almost done. Here's the form. Please take a look."

Huo Yuhao glanced at it a few times, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Not bad, not bad."

"Although it's only rare metals worth tens of millions of gold soul coins, they are all rare metals that are strictly controlled. I'm really impressed that you were able to get them."

"However, good morning, keep trying. Although there are quite a few rare metals, it's still far from the 100 million gold soul coins I mentioned for managing resources."

In fact, Huo Yuhao's heart was pounding. These rare metals, which were under strict control, might only be worth tens of millions in the Sun Moon Empire, but if they were transferred to the three great empires, they would immediately be worth over a hundred million.

This is truly a highly profitable business. By spending all of their available cash, the rare metals they bring back would probably be enough for the Heavenly Soul and Star Luo Empires to hold off the Sun Moon Empire for quite some time.

Chen An smiled wryly and said, "My lord, I have done everything I can. You have no idea how scarce rare metals are right now."

"Our Xishui Alliance does indeed have a considerable stockpile, but the bigwigs at the top cherish these treasures immensely. They say their value will at least double in the near future. Selling them to outsiders is now strictly prohibited."

"I was only able to get these because a friend of mine is a high-level executive in charge of warehouse management, which is why we had a little surplus. Orders worth tens of millions are like risking the lives of the whole family. If I didn't share some of the profits with them, no one would dare to take the risk."

Huo Yuhao naturally understood Chen An's meaning and directly took out a Gold Soul Coin Card.

"There are 2.5 million gold soul coins in here. One million is your commission, and 1.5 million is for your bribes. I don't care how much extra you can make from dealing in rare metals, but I hope I can see more rare metals."

"How's it going? You've made more money lately than you have in the first half of your life, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen An's face immediately flushed.

With the addition of the card Huo Yuhao gave him, his net worth has skyrocketed to two million gold soul coins. With such a sum of money, he could live a carefree life as a wealthy man, whether in the Sun Moon Empire or the original three great empires.

Moreover, with his Soul King level strength, buying a title wouldn't be difficult for him if he were willing to spend the money.

If he can gain some benefits from Huo Yuhao and break through to the level 60 Soul Emperor realm, he can at least become a carefree viscount after retirement, a truly important figure with territory and people!

At this point, Chen An was too lazy to think about his wife and children who had been settled. After finishing this job, what was there to lose about having a wife and children?

Power, status, cultivation level, lifespan—the deal Huo Yuhao gave Chen An almost encompassed everything Chen An desired.

"My lord, I have an idea. In a few days, the day after the semi-finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, our Mingdu Soul Master Elite Tournament will hold the final three underground forces' finals."

"When the finals begin, you will naturally participate, and at that time, the top leaders of our three major underground forces will all go to watch. This is also the time when the warehouse is at its emptiest. Let's meet here again. I will have someone deliver the goods, and you can send someone here to inspect them."

"The transaction will be completed when we're both out of the picture, which is the safest time. What do you think?"
