Chapter 4097 The True Dragon of China Made Money!
The disturbance at the [White Wolf Dragon] Park was suppressed the next day.
No sophisticated methods were needed; all the nobles involved in the incident were simply placed under a gag order. As for the tourists that day, they were unaware of the tea party games and simply considered it a special event.
Pay the money if you should, and apologize if you should.
"I feel truly guilty about this accident, and I am very sorry to everyone!"
The park director is bowing at a 90-degree angle to apologize in front of the big screen.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
People ate and drank as usual. With so many people on the ancestral planet [Marindo], the most discussed topics were the upcoming coronation ceremony and the affairs of the royal court and harem.
"It has to be His Highness Anle. He resolved the matter so easily. Tsk tsk."
In the tea room of Princess Anle Palace in District 7, Brother Guevara and Brother Paul are taking a break.
Guevara was squatting on the ground, smoking and scrolling through today's headlines.
He looked much better, at least outwardly he didn't appear to be seriously injured, but in reality he was completely rotten inside, and his core [divine art] was riddled with holes.
He once mocked a wicked magician's "divine magic" as shabby, never expecting that the boomerang would hit him.
Guevara was genuinely shaken, but also furious. The Free Army had gone too far this time... He had never seen anyone so ruthless.
Don't let me turn the tables, you trash from the Free Army!!
If I don't trick you guys next time, I'll cut off my hands and never steal again!
Trash (voice cracks) ——!
"Brother Paul, do me a favor." Brother Guevara looked sadly at the sky outside the window. "It's very simple, help me sell some things, and then buy some things."
That didn't sound difficult at all. Paul hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Brother, are you short of money?"
It wasn't just a lack; he was practically broke, practically wearing out his underwear. He had spent almost all the wealth he had on him just to barely prevent the core [divine art] from being destroyed.
However, he was powerless to help with his injuries. In his current state, he was simply unable to break out of the planet and traverse the void... He was only at the level of a small world's limit-breaking expert.
The remaining meager strength, placed in the midst of the turbulent events of Marindo, is nothing more than a tiny ant.
...I feel so insecure!
But this bitterness can only be swallowed in silence.
Ignoring Paul's question, Brother Guevara went straight to the point: "Those prizes we took from the park yesterday are hard to resell outside, but I know a place in [Marindo] that will take anything and is safe. Plus, it can probably find most of what I need. I'll tell you how to get there and what the rules are. Just do as I say..."
Blah blah blah...
"Ghost market?"
……

"Hua Mei, is something the matter?"
[Xiang Feihu] knocked on the door with a little trepidation and entered—in the study of the villa, there was only Boss Luo reading the Imperial Calendar.
Clearly, Li Huamei arrived while the maid was not around.
"...Captain, I'm so sorry!" Li Huamei stood at attention as if she had been beaten. "The commotion yesterday was too big, and there was a risk of being exposed at any time. It was entirely my fault for not stopping it in time!"
Today, [Xiang Feihu] is still wearing the same bodycon skirt she wore yesterday before going out.
Mr. Luo closed the book and smiled calmly, "Does Miss Long know you came to see me?"
Li Huamei shook her head. "I didn't tell Xi Ruo. Captain, I should have had a chance to stop her. It was my fault for not supervising her properly. I'm willing to accept any punishment."
"Then... how do you want me to punish you?" Boss Luo asked with great interest.
"Anything is fine." Li Huamei didn't even frown, puffing out her chest like a greenhorn. "I can accept anything."
Boss Luo said casually, "Miss Long is on my side, and Hua Mei, you are the liaison officer sent by Captain Zhang. Logically speaking, the trouble she caused should be my responsibility... Hua Mei, I didn't expect you and her to be so close."
“This…” Li Huamei thought for a moment and said, “But I could have stopped it at the time. In fact, I was a bit too impulsive yesterday, thinking that as long as I was careful, there wouldn’t be any problems. I was too arrogant.”
Boss Luo lazily propped his chin up and said, "I should be thanking you."
"Thank me?" Li Huamei was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Thank you for going crazy with her." Boss Luo said softly, "After she came to my side and entered this void, she didn't actually have a friend by her side to talk to or make a fuss with. Hua Mei, if possible, could you please continue to be her very good friend?"
"What are you saying? Xi Ruo and I are... alright." Li Huamei nodded. She felt that Captain Luo was like an old father who was worried sick about his daughter.
These are the kinds of things parents usually say, right?
"Thank you," Boss Luo said softly.
“Uh…no need.” [Xiang Feihu] shook his head slightly, looking at Captain [Luo] in a daze.
—How wonderful, Xi Ruo…
—If I had a parent like that…
"Is there anything else?"
"Captain, what about my punishment..."
She is clearly a stubborn person.
Mr. Luo casually said, "Didn't the news today say that this is the responsibility of the park? And I haven't heard anything about Star Cruises taking any action, so I think everything should be fine."
Li Huamei nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Captain, there's one more thing that might require your attention."
Boss Luo gestured for her to continue.
Li Huamei said solemnly, "Captain, your current identity is [Livi Titus]. According to this identity, besides attending the ceremony, your more important role is to expand the market and find business opportunities for the [Titus] family. This is also for the aftermath of the operation's final evacuation plan. If the operation succeeds, the Empire will definitely be furious and thoroughly investigate all those involved. As [Livi Titus], the more careful you are during this period, the lower the chance of being discovered later. Even if you are eventually discovered, you can delay it as much as possible."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Well, what do you want me to do?"
Li Huamei said directly, "Momojiro has already made arrangements. There will be an exhibition next. You just need to bring the special products of the Titus family and make an appearance... After that, he will also arrange for some merchants to contact you. They will not know anything about it and will only treat it as a legitimate business activity. If you don't want to show up, I will discuss it with Momojiro again."
“Then let’s go.” Boss Luo nodded. “After all, I’ve also signed the [Holy Covenant], so I need to ensure that I follow orders during this operation.”
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
She went there excitedly, and then not long after, Long Xiruo arrived with a suspicious look on her face.
……
"Was that Hua Mei? What did she want with you?"
Long Xiruo's expression was calm at this moment—who knows how many layers of calming spells she had cast on herself before coming here?
This is actually a way to suppress one's "girlish heart"—although the heart is still flustered, playful, and shy, at least it's not like a quail.
"Apologize for what happened yesterday." Boss Luo looked at her with a smile, carefully counting the layers of calm aura surrounding Long Xiruo.
"What's there to apologize for? What does it have to do with her!" Long Xiruo rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Even if someone has to apologize, it should be me... Why should I apologize? I didn't expose anything! What... What are you trying to do?"
But Boss Luo walked towards her.
He advanced, she retreated; he advanced again, she retreated again, until there was nowhere left to retreat, she leaned against the wall, and could only stare stubbornly.
Boss Luo stretched out his finger, and the layers of calm aura were instantly punctured like bubbles.
In an instant, Shenzhou Zhenlong's "girlish heart" pounded wildly, and she instinctively wanted to reach out and cover her face.
Luo Qiu quickly grabbed her hands and pressed them against the wall, then lowered his head.
The struggle... lasted only a moment, and the clenched fists quickly loosened.
……
"Are you... are you feeling smug right now?!"
The true dragon of Shenzhou turned away with a resentful look... He was full; one meal could last him a week.
"Is this the [Stigmata] we found yesterday?" Luo Qiu's fingers gently caressed the lower-level [Transcendent Stigmata] mark on Long Xiruo's back. "The amplification effect is simple, but very practical."
Long Xiruo twisted her waist as if she was uncomfortable and hurriedly put on her clothes. "That guy knelt down for no reason yesterday, was it you?"
Boss Luo hugged her from behind and whispered, "He wants to steal my memories from my treasure."
—You jerk…
"Back then, he actually tried to steal my memories? No wonder I felt like my consciousness was..."
The dragon stares.
"I'll smash him next time!"
Boss Luo chuckled and said, "If you beat him to a pulp, who's going to be your treasure-hunting rat?"
"Just find another one!" Long Xiruo snorted coldly. Who knows how many layers of [Heart-Cleansing Mantra] she had stacked on herself this time? "By the way, can I show you something?"
She was about to reach into her pocket when she realized that her pants were still hanging on the back of the sofa, and the [Clarity Mantra] almost broke through her defenses.
But in the end, he managed to pull a beast-taming bag out of his pocket.
"This is my spoils from yesterday!" The True Dragon of Shenzhou looked smug. "Name your price, and I'll let you have it! Weren't you interested in this thing yesterday?"
Mr. Luo smiled and said, "It's always the customers who take the initiative to buy things from us."
Long Xiruo rolled her eyes. "I don't believe you guys wouldn't buy things on your own... There are so many things, they couldn't all have been made out of thin air! Snatching doesn't count as buying, right?"
How can collecting Dark Souls be called robbery?
"Hmm... Buying low and selling high is indeed a normal business practice." Boss Luo chuckled, opened the beast-taming bag and glanced at it. "And it's Miss Long's goods, so we'll have to give it a good price."
"Uh-huh!"
After thinking for a moment, Boss Luo reached out and brushed the bangs off Long Xiruo's forehead, gently kissed her, and said with a smile, "Alright, thank you for the goods that Miss Long brought this time."
"...You're trying to freeload off me, aren't you?!" the dragon roared. "I'll bite you to death!!"
……
"Pah! Shady businessman!"
Shenzhou's True Dragon, grumbling, took a card from the [Void Bank], slammed the door shut, and left.
She had no choice but to leave; if she didn't, she was afraid she wouldn't even get the card, and it would all be for nothing.
Inside the study, the beast-taming bag had already been opened.
The shrunken [Czech], now only the size of a palm, lay trembling and crawling on the desk.
After that beast-taming bag opened and closed, who knows what it encountered?!
Mr. Luo smiled slightly and asked, "Your name is [Jack Luo]?"
"Yes...yes..."
[Czech Republic] has actually even incorporated [Unyielding] into his strategy, but he just can't seem to straighten his spine...
Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "You look like you're about to die."
"!!"
[Czech Luo] gasped in surprise. It was in its prime!
……
"Oh, Miss Baizhi, do you need my help?"
Shaq saw an opportunity and was about to make his presence felt for the day. He saw Bai Zhi carrying two large bags and preparing to go upstairs, so he teleported away!
"No need!" Little Angelica shook her head. "It's very light."
What is this?
"Air freshener." Bai Zhi said naturally, "Miss said to take it to the study to spray. Uncle Shaq, you can play with it yourself."
Uncle...
Brother Shaq nodded, "Then I'll go check if the groceries I ordered today have arrived!"
but.
Who in their family would spray a dozen or twenty bottles of air freshener in their study at once?
He shook his head and just then saw that [Xiang Feihu] seemed to be planning to go out. He immediately flashed into view again, intending to make his presence known for the day once more.
"[Xiang Feihu] Lord, are you going out on business?" Brother Shak asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Huamei hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering something... quite seriously.
“Hmm… alright then, come with me.” Li Huamei finally nodded. “You do seem to have too much free time.”
Shaq was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!
It's been tough! After making our presence felt for so long, we've finally achieved some results! Is this the start of truly getting involved in this operation?!

……
【Marindo】...District 1, a port of call.
A large civilian ship had just arrived, and passengers were queuing up to disembark... At the ship's railing, a silver-haired boy wearing a baseball cap was gazing at the magnificent port.
"Big brother, is this the ancestral planet? The metropolis is so bustling!"
Ignoring the boy's chatter, Hiro Yul quietly reported via communicator before calmly saying, "Let's go, I'll take you into the royal court first."
On the way to Marindo, at the behest of King Atesleia, Hiro Yul revealed some information about the royal family to a limited extent, so that the green-haired boy, who had awakened the power of the royal crest but did not have any royal characteristics, could have a general understanding.
In fact, not only King Atesliya, but even Hiro Yul himself was quite curious about this boy.
It's not that there aren't members of the royal family with green hair; there are always offspring born from marriages between members of the royal family and outsiders who don't have the distinctive green hair characteristic of royalty.
However, such children are unlikely to achieve much, and there is no precedent throughout history for them to awaken the royal crest.
"Big brother, didn't you say I was a prince? Why is no one here to welcome me? I'm your prince who was exiled among the common people! I've suffered so much all these years! Shouldn't we be announcing my return with drums and gongs? I refuse to accept this!"
“…Let’s go.” Hiro Yul grabbed the boy [Wild] by the collar. “Besides, you’re not a real prince yet. The person you’re going to see now is the one who can decide whether you can become a prince.”
To announce to the empire with gongs and drums?
Want to eat fart!
This wild boy was discovered by chance; no one could have predicted it beforehand. Hiro Yul escorted him discreetly all the way to avoid attracting attention.
It's still unclear whether this boy is a direct descendant of King Klub. If it's confirmed that he is of the Wilderness bloodline, a high-ranking royal, or even... then things will become complicated!
After all, King Klub was quite the womanizer back then.
He might be called a grandson, but he could actually be a son?
