A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

"Um... since it's an employment relationship, how is the compensation calculated?"

It's a bit embarrassing, but Valon is really short of money; the Mafia is even struggling to pay their electricity bills.

Moreover, things that don't generate profit make it hard for him to get motivated.

Qianyu smiled.

He enjoys dealing with people who are genuine and straightforward.

"Snapped."

Another snap of the fingers.

From the shadows behind him, a shadowy ninja emerged, carrying a heavy black briefcase.

The box was then opened.

"Wow—"

Those were neatly stacked pure gold bars marked with 9999.

Valon gasped sharply, his movements so exaggerated he almost suffocated.

His eyes, which had been filled with fear, were instantly replaced by greed.

He practically scrambled over with both hands and feet, grabbed a gold bar, and took a big bite out of it.

Really!

This rich texture and captivating color definitely don't belong to some gold-plated fake.

This is definitely high-purity gold!

"This...this is for me?"

Valon's voice was trembling.

"This is just a deposit."

Qianyu's voice rang out at just the right moment, sounding like heavenly music to Valon's ears.

"If you help me get just one talisman, I'll give you a few more boxes. And payment in US dollars is fine too, it's up to you."

On one side is a devilish boss who only makes empty promises and threatens to burn you alive and make you pay him back.

On one side is this seemingly unapproachable but generous benefactor who readily pays money, provides a deposit, and even sends bodyguards.

Is this still a choice?

Even a fool knows which one to choose!

"Sold! Sold!"

Valon clutched the box tightly, his expression instantly shifting from that of a prisoner to one of fawning obsequiousness as if he were seeing his own father.

At this moment, the threats from the Holy Lord and the curses from the demons were all thrown to the winds.

“From this day forward, you are my most respected partner! To hell with the Holy Lord! I’ve had my eye on that old bastard for ages!”

His ability to change his expression so quickly is astonishing.

"very good."

Chiyu nodded in satisfaction.

Money makes the world go round; the ancients were right.

As for where this gold came from...

Well, there's no need to tell this law-abiding citizen that the Shadow Legion just happened to stop by the Bank of Japan's vault.

Anyway, the Shadow Kingdom's transportation capabilities are top-notch in the entire universe.

"very good."

Qianyu walked up to Valon and looked at the gang leader who had completely turned against him.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Valon."

Valon quickly put down the box, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then respectfully shook the hand.

"It's a pleasure to do business with you! Boss, how can I contact you if I find any talismans in the future? I can't just barge into your house every time, can I? That would be too rude."

No need for that complicated process.

Qianyu withdrew her hand and shook it off in disgust.

"From now on, whenever you find a talisman, find a secluded spot, shout 'Activate Genshin Impact!' twice into the air!"

“My shadow soldier will appear, take the goods from you, and give you the final payment.”

"Okay, okay! No problem! Genshin Impact... Activate? Oh, I've got it!"

Valon nodded repeatedly. Although the code sounded a bit strange, he was willing to say "I'm an idiot" for Gold's sake.

Qianyu continued:

"Of course, once you've collected all twelve talismans, if you still want that so-called Qin Shi Huang treasure, I can also give it to you."

Valon's eyes instantly lit up like two searchlights.

Although he knew it was all just empty promises, looking at the real gold bars in his arms, he felt that the promises this girl was making were far more appealing than those made by that fire-breathing dragon.

At least they offered samples!

That's the difference between having a deposit and not having one.

"No problem! Boss, just you wait and see! Valon is known for being incredibly reliable!"

Then Valon became a little worried.

"But what if the Holy Lord finds out about this? Even though our Black Hand Gang is useless, we can't just end up with no talismans at all."

Qianyu pondered for a moment and said

"That's right. In that case, you figure out how to give me the horse, the dog, and the dragon first. I don't need the others for now. If the Holy Lord asks where the talismans are, just say Jackie Chan took them."

Valmont has stopped worrying about why the other party knew about Jackie Chan; doesn't that just prove the other party's strength?

He then stood up, dusted off his knees, and resumed his elegant gentlemanly demeanor.

Of course, if you ignore the box he was clutching tightly in his arms.

"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Just as this dirty deal was being made.

The bedroom door was carefully pushed open a crack.

Yukino peeked out, looking at the foreigner in the living room who was clutching a suitcase and grinning like a fool, then glanced at herself, who was standing there calmly, and asked uncertainly:

"...Is it over?"

Although I don't know what happened, judging from the foreigner's appearance, he seems to have been moved?

"Yes, it's settled."

Qianyu nodded, then pointed at the boy and said to Valmont:

"By the way, Valon, there's something I need to tell you."

"This boy is me, Kazama Chiba."

He then pointed to his current body.

"And this body belongs to this Ms. Yukinoshita. We swapped bodies due to some kind of uncontrollable magic. We'll probably switch back tomorrow."

"So, don't mistake me for someone else next time we meet."

Valon's gaze swept back and forth between the man and woman (or rather, the woman and the man) a few times.

As a well-informed underworld boss, he believed he had seen it all.

But a soul swap?

Is it to experience life? Or some novel kind of play?

Are magicians these days using such fancy tricks?

"Ah...I understand, I understand."

Valon gave a smile that said, "I was young once too," and winked at Chiyu.

"It's all about the tastes of young people. An old fogey like me can't keep up with the trends. But if the money's right, I'd recognize you even if you turned into a cat!"

He then straightened his tattered suit, trying his best to maintain a semblance of dignity.

"Then I won't disturb your... private time any longer."

Valon bowed to the two men, then left the apartment with the heavy box of gold, completely satisfied.

Until the footsteps completely disappeared in the hallway.

Qian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew...it's finally done."

He rubbed his slightly stiff cheeks.

Just now, in order to maintain that mysterious and unfathomable big shot persona, his facial expressions were almost cramping up.

However, the gains were also enormous.

Although we lost some furniture in this operation, we solved a major problem, gained a traitorous villain, a private army, and a radar.

Makes a killing.

Chapter 54 Dude, don't mess with me

After tidying up the room, Kazama Chiba began to calmly assess her control over the Shadow Legion.

The situation is not optimistic.

He discovered that the Shadow Card's operation was actually a forced takeover of a portion of the Shadow Legion's control from the Holy Lord.

Unlike Tara or Shendu, they have a direct route to the Shadow Kingdom, allowing them to recruit as many ninjas as they want, and they have always maintained control.
