"Captain Yan, what's got you in such a good mood?"
After seeing Zhu Yan bump into someone again, Longyue couldn't help but facepalm and ask a question.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to you guys that I made a fortune in the gambling game. They're probably looking miserable right now."
Zhu Yan was overjoyed; this was the first time he had ever received such a large sum of money.
"How many?" Longyue asked curiously.
"One hundred million!"
"How many?"
"One hundred million!"
Holy crap!
Hazy Moon: ヾ(°?°ヾ)^?Ah?
so much!!!
Longyue looked at Li Hei, her eyes conveying a message: She was tempted, but what if she wanted to rob him?
Li Hei replied to Longyue with an "I understand" look: Let's get to work!
"Um, Captain Yan, how about we discuss something?" Longyue said softly, her tone suggesting a discussion.
"Speak, what is it? I'm in a good mood today, so as long as it's not a big deal, I'll agree!" Zhu Yan patted his chest, his gaze towards Longyue and Li Hei incredibly gentle.
Zhu Yan was overjoyed more than once that he had met two benefactors. After this incident, the two would definitely enter the martial arts school and become members of the school, with unlimited potential in the future.
Thinking this, Zhu Yan stopped and patted the two on the shoulders, "You two have great talent. Although your strength is not high now, as long as you work steadily, your future is bright."
"Maybe I can still latch onto your coattails in the future? You two can't forget about me!"
Longyue nodded, "Captain Yan's help to us cannot be explained in just a few words. As long as you need anything, we will definitely support you if we can help."
"Hahaha, great!" Zhu Yan was overjoyed, completely ignoring the glares from some of the people around him. If it weren't for his status, he would have loved to show off to them.
"Captain Yan, you've made a fortune off the two of us, shouldn't you share some of it with us?" Longyue's clear eyes were filled with accusation.
Li Hei also looked at him, smiling as he awaited Zhu Yan's reply.
Zhu Yan was taken aback, then laughed and scolded, "Oh, so you two were waiting for me here. Hmph, I have no money, but I'll take one of you!"
"No, Captain Yan, look how poor we are, penniless. This money was earned by us, so how about we share some of the hard work fee?" Longyue gritted her teeth and forced herself to show the best attitude.
Li Hei echoed, "Captain Yan, what Longyue said is right. We should at least get some salary."
Zhu Yan: ...
Come on, he knows that Longyue's family isn't well-off, but how could your family be poor, Li Hei? Your grandfather is waiting for you to come home and inherit the family fortune. Putting aside everything else, your allowance alone will be at least tens of millions!
Zhu Yan rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, I see now. You two won't be satisfied until you've skinned me alive, huh? I'm really fed up with you two money-grubbers."
"Fifty million, at most fifty million, any more and it's gone!" Zhu Yan said with a pained expression, clutching his chest.
"Thank you, Captain Yan!" Longyue didn't care about his expression; as long as she got the money, that was all that mattered.
Seeing that half of the spirit coins he had just acquired had vanished in an instant, Zhu Yan let out a wail: "I haven't even had a chance to enjoy them yet!"
In response, Longyue and Li Hei patted him on the shoulder together, "Captain Yan, you're overdoing it."
As soon as he said that, Zhu Yan's expression instantly turned serious. Actually, he was just joking. Although he had never earned this much money, his family certainly had it.
Hehehe!
They ran into Mao Hongtao on the road, who was with Chen Fang.
Mao Hongtao looked at Zhu Yan with envy, jealousy, and hatred. He immediately pulled Zhu Yan's head into his arms and said, "Old Zhu, I'm so damn envious of you!"
"Let go, let go! What kind of behavior is this, two grown men hugging and cuddling!" Zhu Yan's forehead veins were about to bulge. He pried Mao Hongtao's hand away with one hand and then moved away from him.
"Stay away from me!" Zhu Yan straightened his clothes and gave Mao Hongtao a fake kick.
"Hehehe, come on, let's have a chat!" Mao Hongtao didn't care at all, and put his hand on Zhu Yan's shoulder again, acting like they were good buddies.
Thanks to Longyue and the other two, Mao Hongtao and Zhu Yan have now become friends. They are not the best of friends, but they get along better than with others. At least for now, they don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
"Silence!" General Xu Yihai was once again standing on the stage.
Xu Yihai's dark eyes swept around, his imposing presence and the aura of a powerful figure washing over the noisy Level 5 martial artists below. In just three seconds, they all fell silent.
"First of all, congratulations on your safe return! You've all worked hard!"
Seeing the scene quiet down, Xu Yihai nodded in satisfaction.
"It's not hard work at all!"
The martial artists responded loudly to Xu Yihai, their voices resounding and perfectly synchronized.
"Good, that's the spirit of our R-Star warriors! Here, I want to apologize to everyone first, because of our dereliction of duty, we failed to detect the abnormal data of the S-rank Ghost Python in time, which led to the Ghost Python's awakening, the interruption of the trial, and the loss of many warriors' lives."
"On their behalf, I apologize to you. We are sorry that our negligence has implicated you and dragged you into such danger."
Xu Yihai bowed to the martial artists. The scene was so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly. Many people's eyes welled up with tears as they watched this scene.
They never expected that General Xu Yihai would apologize to them. You have to understand what the name Xu Yihai represents. It represents the highest honor in Xiangjiang District. He has participated in no less than a thousand battles, large and small, and fought against monsters countless times to protect the safety of Xiangjiang District.
It can be said that Xu Yihai was a god-like figure in the hearts of the people of Xiangjiang District, and today, this god bowed down to them.
Who are they to deserve his bow?
The crowd was shocked, and their fervent and admiring gazes fell upon Xu Yihai. At that moment, the fighting spirit was rekindled in the hearts of many.
Only Oborozuki remained quite calm throughout, compared to the others.
She had once held a high position and seen all kinds of faces and situations. But at this moment, she still wanted to give Xu Yihai a thumbs up; he was a rare and good person.
"Alright, let's get down to the main topic, which is also the point that everyone is most concerned about: the points ranking and the spots for joining the five major martial arts schools."
Xu Yihai paused for a moment, then said, "In this battle, you fought inside, and we watched from the outside. I would like to criticize the behavior of certain regions. Such behavior is truly despicable. As for which region it is, I will not name it. I believe you have already learned your lesson from the consequences of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."
Down in the audience, Longyue hadn't expected Xu Yihai to say those words.
