Just as Marshal Morris sent a message to Gu Changqing about when the collection of the strange objects would be completed, he then took a short break.
Imperial Finance Minister Wang Qi had already led Gu Changqing out of the palace complex filled with retro-style palaces.
Outside the palace lies a bustling area for the wealthy, where groups of commoners come hoping to rise in status and become rich. Some are numb with despair after their failures, while others are excited to have just arrived.
And on those wide streets, the various kinds of vehicles coming and going are modes of transportation that only the truly wealthy can afford.
Even if an ordinary person were lucky enough to acquire an old vehicle abandoned by a rich person, the energy source of the strange creature that powers it would be something they couldn't afford.
Even the most common trains in the capital city are expensive; a single one-way trip can cost them one or two months' wages.
However, even in such a bustling neighborhood, Wang Qi could not dispel the fear and cold in his heart.
As the Empire's Minister of Finance, he naturally had his own private vehicle. He turned around and, somewhat fearfully, spoke to Gu Changqing:
"Sir...please allow me to have my men bring the car over; it will only take a few minutes."
Gu Changqing did not respond to this, which can be regarded as tacit approval of what he said.
Seeing that Gu Changqing did not make a move, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took out his communicator and sensed that his driver had arrived at the palace gate at top speed and stood respectfully to Gu Changqing's side.
Wang Qi responded to the driver's message in a very urgent manner, indicating that it was extremely urgent. So, in less than two minutes, the driver, who had been waiting near the palace, brought his private vehicle over.
Because no vehicles are allowed inside the palace, the driver just kept circling outside the palace gates.
Not only could he arrive quickly when Wang Qi gave the order, but he could also use this car to pick up some naive girls from the working-class area who had come here.
That's why he was able to get over so quickly after Wang Qi sent the message.
Looking at the bright red sports car parked in front of them, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the driver hadn't caused any accidents and had arrived very quickly; otherwise, the person next to him probably wouldn't have had such patience.
Before the driver could even get out and open the door for Wang Qi, he quickly walked to the back door of the sports car, bent down his obese body, opened the back door, and then respectfully said to Gu Changqing:
"My lord, please come in. Please do not find my humble vehicle unappealing."
The driver, sitting in the driver's seat, looked at Wang Qi, who was all smiles and speaking in a humble tone, with a look of astonishment, unable to believe it was real.
Gu Changqing slowly walked into the car, completely ignoring the respectful Wang Qi standing to the side.
Wang Qi didn't care about this. He simply waited for Gu Changqing to get into the car and sit down comfortably before gently closing the back door again. Then he went to the front seat and sat down next to the driver.
"Go to the building of the financial adjutant."
After settling into his seat and fastening his seatbelt, Wang Qi spoke to the driver beside him.
Although he didn't know why Wang Qi was in such a hurry or why he was so obsequious to the person in the back seat, as a driver, he naturally had some sense, so he didn't say anything and simply agreed.
"Yes, Lord Wang Qi."
Then the car was set off, heading towards the building where the Imperial Financial Vice-Executive was located.
