Chapter 9: Big Fish Hooked



Luo Heng raised his hand and called over a guard, whispering something. After receiving the order, the guard trotted out of the hall and soon brought back a cute little girl wearing a straw hat.

"Golden Week, show everyone what you're capable of."

Golden Week didn't say anything, just nodded obediently and took out a pen and a palette.

"Mix the color to a hilarious yellow."

In the blink of an eye, a strange yellow pattern appeared on the ground.

"Stand on this yellow pattern and you will understand.

The officials looked at each other, confused as to what Luo Heng meant.

"Playing tricks!" An impatient person couldn't contain his curiosity and stepped on the yellow pattern.

"Hahahahahahahaha, what's going on? Why can't I stop laughing?"

Seeing this, the officials gathered around curiously.

"Is this magic?"

“It’s amazing.”

"I understand. Just standing in this pattern will make me laugh uncontrollably."

"How does this work? Is it a devil fruit?"

People with quick minds have already seen some clues.

"This girl has the ability to influence people's emotions and desires through the colors she mixes."

"Imagine what would happen if we painted casinos with the color of greed, amusement parks with the color of joy, and shopping malls with the color of desire."

"What a genius idea!" Before Luo Heng could finish his words, he was interrupted by an excited voice.

Those present were the smartest people in the country. Some things didn't even need to be said; everyone could see that once the city was painted with colors representing various desires, it would immediately become a gold mine.

"On behalf of the Quinta family, I will contribute 15 billion Baileys."

"On behalf of the Alpha Family, I'm contributing 28 billion Baileys."

"On behalf of the Max family, I will contribute 6 billion Baileys."

These people are from aristocratic families that have stood in Alabasta for a hundred years. They are all extremely wealthy, and at this moment, they all couldn't help but open their mouths to subscribe.

"Dad, don't we need to buy some? It sounds great." Vivi couldn't help but lean close to Cobra's ear and ask.

Cobra's mouth twitched, and he said awkwardly, "The inner treasury has been completely used up over the years to provide relief to disaster victims."

"Quiet, don't be anxious." Luo Heng showed a satisfied smile on his face. These cunning old men finally took the bait.

"In view of King Cobra's contributions to the country over the years, I propose to donate 4% of the shares to the Nefertari family. Is there any objection?"

It's just 4%, so no one would have any objection. After all, Cobra is still the nominal king of this country. If Crocodile fails one day, everyone will still have to act according to the king's wishes.

"King Cobra has made great contributions and we naturally have no objection." A respected official said as a matter of course.

Everyone chimed in, praising the students one after another.

"As for the remaining shares, once I have drafted the bylaws, I will have someone hold a separate meeting and you can subscribe for them."

"Only when it's written down in black and white will everyone feel at ease." Luo Hengren was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.

"That's great!"

"As expected of Lord Crocodile, you are very considerate."

"I can't wait to see the new city built."

"Alabasta will surely become the richest and most prosperous country in the world under the leadership of Crocodile-sama."

These cunning old men, after flattering Cobra, now come to flatter Luo Heng.

"Okay, let's end today's meeting here. I need a few days to prepare." Luo Heng waved his hand to stop them.

Before leaving, Luo Heng approached Cobra and said, "What do you think of my proposal, King Cobra?"

Cobra lowered his head and sighed: "That's thoughtful."

"Hmph, don't think you can bribe us easily by giving us a little sweet treat." Weiwei didn't seem to appreciate it and said with her hands on her hips.

Luo Heng was not angry. He chuckled, shook his head, and left with Huang Jinzhou.

After walking out of the hall, Luo Heng saw MR3, MR5, MISS Valentine, and Nico Robin waiting outside the hall.

MR5 and Valentine were also meeting this boss with a terrifying reputation for the first time, and they seemed very nervous.

Huang Jinzhou didn't react at all to this, but just followed Luo Heng obediently.

Luo Heng didn't say much about the people who failed their mission. He just said calmly, "Let's go back first."

As he spoke, he rolled up a cloud of yellow sand and flew away with several people.

Soon, everyone arrived at a mansion on the outskirts of the city.

This is a property that Lao Sha secretly purchased a few years ago. Apart from him, only Nico Robin knows about it.

"Boss, you're back. Are you ready for dinner now?"

As Luo Heng walked to the door, a middle-aged man in a black tuxedo who looked like a butler came up to him quickly and spoke respectfully.

"It should be feasted according to banquet standards, and served quickly. Also, prepare plenty of drinks." Luo Heng said calmly.

“Okay, boss!”

Entering the house, the furnishings inside are very luxurious.

Luo Heng led everyone to the living room, where MR1 and others who had failed in their mission were waiting with bandages wrapped around their bodies.

Seeing Luo Heng come in, several people hurriedly stood up with difficulty, looking dejected and in a very low mood.

"Sit down, why are you all so sad?" Luo Heng asked knowingly.
