Although Shaman Manor was on the Imperial Star, it was very far from the Imperial Palace. The aircraft circled the Imperial Star for a long time before stopping at the entrance of the manor.
Shaman had already arrived at the manor after receiving a call from Madame Bomi. Regardless of whether he was secretly doing business with the drug dealers, he still relied on these noble ladies to introduce him to various businesses, so he naturally would not neglect his guests.
Qin Changqing, wearing gorgeous clothes that represented nobility, walked into the manor with his chin slightly raised.
"Mr. Qing, I'm glad to see you here. Please come in." Shaman came up with a smile on his face.
Qin Changqing nodded his chin modestly and glanced at him. "Mr. Shaman, you're too polite."
"No, no, no, Mr. Qing has come from afar, these little things are what I should do..."
Qin Changqing patiently exchanged pleasantries with him, genuinely confused as to why they were standing at the doorway, flattering each other for so long. Only after Shaman had finished speaking did he finally lead him into the manor.
"Mr. Shaman should have heard from Madam Bomi that I am from the Wind God Pterosaur Clan and want to purchase a batch of deep-sea pearls and red corals from the Emperor Star Domain and bring them back to the Pterosaur Star Domain. You know that we Pterosaurs have always liked this kind of jewelry." Qin Changqing sat on the sofa with one hand on the armrest and directly stated his purpose.
He raised his chin slightly, and his open collar just revealed the "token of love" that Fourth Master Jin gave him when they parted outside Castle Kaher - a beautiful black pearl. Things given by Fourth Master were naturally not ordinary items. Shaman was also an expert and saw through the trick at a glance. He believed his words without a doubt.
He introduced enthusiastically, "It's like this. Madam Bomi did tell me that Mr. Qing has found the right person. I just got a batch of deep-sea pearls. These pearls are round and lustrous, and the size is perfect..."
The two chatted for a while, and Shaman took the initiative to have some pearls brought over for him to look at.
These deep-sea pearls are indeed very beautiful. Although Qin Changqing has no research on these luxury goods, he can see that these pearls are very precious.
However, he did not speak, but glanced at Tang Qian who came with him. Tang Qian understood the meaning of his gaze, reached out and took a few pearls, placed them in his palm to admire them, and then began to find faults.
For the first time, Qin Changqing truly felt how shrewd a businessman could be. Not to mention choosing the size and color, he could even tell you everything about the glossiness, the depth of the color, and the beauty. With his eloquent words and the powerful translator, he almost left Shaman, who seemed equally shrewd, speechless.
Finally, Tang Qian added, "Although your pearls have so many problems, they are still quite nice. However, Mr. Shaman still hopes to strive for excellence. We hope to purchase a batch of flawless treasures. After all, you must have heard how picky the pterosaurs are... As for the price, that's not a problem."
Qin Changqing: "..."
Shaman: “…”
Shaman hadn't known how picky the pterosaurs were before, but now that he knew, he hesitated and said, "How about this, Mr. Qing, can you wait a few more days? I'll select another batch of treasures for you, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Sure." Qin Changqing looked around the manor's living room and said, "I think Mr. Shaman's manor is quite nice. Why don't we stay at your house for a few days?"
Shaman was startled, not knowing what he was thinking of, and hesitantly said, "This..."
"Is there any inconvenience for you, Mr. Shaman?" Qin Changqing asked.
"That's not the case." Shaman waved his hands repeatedly and said hesitantly, "It's mainly because my wife is mentally... not quite normal. I'm worried that it will disturb Mr. Qing."
"It's okay. We're just staying here for two days. We hope that if Mr. Shaman finds any precious goods, we can see them right away. We hope that Mr. Shaman can understand how we love treasures." Qin Changqing lied with his eyes open. In short, his first goal was to stay so that they could find someone.
Shaman had probably never seen anyone so eager to live in someone else's house. He was stunned for a moment, but seeing that they had made up their minds not to move, he could only reluctantly agree.
The manor covered a large area, and the housekeeper arranged them in a small garden. He told them not to go to the back garden, so as not to meet the lady who was said to be mentally ill.
Qin Changqing nodded in agreement, and after he left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The blond guard had already taken the drink from the maid and placed it in front of him with a smile. "Are you tired, sir? Have a drink to moisten your mouth first. Also, do you need me to massage your shoulders?"
Qin Changqing looked at him for a while and shook his head slowly, "...No need."
The blond guard had a look of regret on his face, causing the others who followed him to stare at him. They probably thought he was trying to climb up the Queen's social ladder... In short, there was a hint of weird emotion in their eyes.
They stayed in the small garden and did not take any action immediately. Instead, they waited until the owner of the manor invited them to the front hall for dinner. The guards quickly finished their meal and then explored around unnoticed.
Unfortunately, they had been staying in the manor for two days and had not found the strange bush that Mrs. Bomi had mentioned.
"Has he already moved the people away?" After leaving the palace for two days, Qin Changqing was worried about Qin Xu who was left alone, and felt a little anxious.
He was speaking to Lan Sinian, of course. The blond guard then replied naturally, "Don't worry. If we can't find him today, we can just find an excuse to leave."
"This is the only way." Qin Changqing sighed lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over and asked Qin Changqing to go to the front yard. Baron Shaman had obtained a batch of more perfect deep-sea pearls and wanted them to take a look.
"I understand. Let's go now." Qin Changqing had to cheer up and took his Sui Cong to the front yard.
Shaman was very concerned about this deal. Even Tang Qian, who was very picky, couldn't find many problems with the deep-sea pearls he got this time. Qin Changqing felt a little annoyed. They hadn't found the person they were looking for yet. Could they really buy these things back?
Just when he was feeling anxious, a servant suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside the garden.
"Sir." The servant ran a little hurriedly, with some anxiety on his face.
"What are you doing?" Shaman's face darkened slightly and he glared at the servant.
Shi Cong glanced at Qin Changqing and the others, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Qin Changqing was quite understanding and took the initiative to stand up and said, "Mr. Shaman has something to do first. Let's go to the garden and talk after you finish your work."
Shaman apologized to him very apologetically, but had no intention of keeping them to continue the conversation. He politely invited them to the garden before turning back to talk to the servant.
The garden was well-maintained, with fragrant flower walls everywhere. Unfortunately, Qin Changqing had no interest in appreciating the flowers. He whispered, "I don't know what that Shi Cong said to him."
The blond guard followed him and replied, "That guard said someone from the casino in District 8 has come to collect gambling debts from Shaman."
"Gambling debt?" Qin Changqing asked doubtfully.
The blond guard paused, then suddenly lowered his head to his ear and replied in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Shaman is angry. The gambling debt is not owed by him."
Qin Changqing subconsciously turned his head to look at him, but the two of them were too close and almost kissed each other. Qin Changqing quickly looked back and saw a smile in the blond guard's light golden eyes, which was very beautiful and charming.
Qin Changqing: "..."
He opened his head and asked, "What should we do then?"
"Why don't you let Her Majesty the Queen make the decision?" The blond guard stood up straight and asked seriously.
Qin Changqing always thought that although he had a bad temper, he was not the kind of person who would get violent over a disagreement. However, ever since he got together with this man, he could not suppress the urge to kill someone with a knife, and he wanted to punch or kick him every minute!
Seeing that he was angry, the blond guard came over with a smile and coaxed him gently, like teasing a child. Qin Changqing rolled his eyes and said, "Let's talk business."
"Okay, let's go too."
"Go to the casino?" Qin Changqing immediately understood.
The blond guard smiled at him, "Yes."
Although they planned to go to the casino to block people, in order to avoid Shaman's suspicion, Qin Changqing waited patiently for Shaman to come and explain to them that he had to go out for an urgent matter. After the people left, they left Shaman Manor under the pretext of wanting to go out for fun.
This time, Qin Changqing and Lan Sinian only took a flying vehicle. Halfway through the journey, Lan Sinian changed his face back to the appearance of Mr. Jin Si and changed into clothes that matched his identity before taking him to the eighth district.
This was Qin Changqing's third visit to District 8. From his aircraft, he could survey the entire District's extravagant and bustling scene, its vibrant lights and vibrant nightlife. As usual, the aircraft landed on the rooftop of a building, and immediately, a man in a black suit came over to verify their identities.
Given the Fourth Master's status in the imperial underworld, those people naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately invited them into the building.
"This building is the casino that Shaman owes a debt to. It belongs to the Sharp Knife faction. The Sharp Knife and the Poison Insect have overlapping territories in the empire, and the conflict between the two sides is very serious. The Poison Insect never does things morally, so the other major gangs are not polite to the Poison Insect's people. If someone really owes a debt to the Sharp Knife faction in the name of Shaman, he will probably have a headache, and the Sharp Knife will not give him face." Lan Sinian took Qin Changqing, who had gone from being a queen to being the mistress of a gangster, down the stairs, and analyzed it to him slowly.
"Then what should we do?" Qin Changqing asked.
Lan Sinian smiled and squeezed his shoulders, then lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the cheek, saying, "I have my own way with your husband."
Qin Changqing rolled his eyes at him, but he was indeed curious about how this matter would develop.
Their aircraft was definitely top-notch, so even though they left home later than Shaman, they arrived at the casino earlier. Shaman waited until they came down from the VIP passage before he walked into the casino hall from the ordinary passage.
His face looked extremely grim. He had never imagined that the idiot would be so bold as to run to Jiandao's territory and incur a huge gambling debt! No wonder he had been unable to find him for the past two days. It turned out that he had been hiding in Jiandao's casino gambling and even owed a lot of debt in his name!
The casino had already detained the man, and when Shaman came to negotiate, they directly asked Shaman to pay back his gambling debt of 30 million Galaxy Dollars. 30 million Galaxy Dollars was definitely a large sum for Shaman, a mere baron, and his face turned dark on the spot.
He glanced at the idiot who had been caught, his chest heaving violently with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't even pay back so much money. This person has nothing to do with me. Just deal with him according to your casino's rules!"
He then made a move to leave, as if to leave everything behind. The gambler, who had been arrested, became anxious, his eyes red with anxiety, and he shouted, "Shaman, you dare to leave me alone? Aren't you afraid that I will expose what you did back then?"
Shaman frowned and glared at him. The man looked at him with a sneer and mockery, and said in a voice full of malice, "I think the royal family would like to know how the Fourth Prince escaped through so many layers of protection back then..."
"Shut up!!!" His words obviously hit Shaman's sore spot. Shaman immediately pounced on him with red eyes, as if he was going to die with him.
The casino bodyguard narrowed his eyes, grabbed the gambler and stepped back a few steps. At the same time, several other bodyguards quickly stepped forward to prevent Shaman from approaching the gambler.
Shaman looked at the bodyguards, all of whom were high-level psychics, and his face flushed with anger, but he could only silently retract his psychic powers. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the man and kill him directly, but unfortunately, these bodyguards were too vigilant and didn't give him any chance. He now deeply regretted that he should have taken action earlier when this man came to the manor!
"Okay, Mr. Baron, can we sit down and talk about the gambling debt now?" At this time, a man in black sitting in the corner spoke slowly.
Shaman glanced at him, then at the gambler who, despite being caught, was still looking at him with a smug, arrogant and sarcastic expression. He couldn't help wiping his face, and his broad shoulders, which had been supporting him, slumped slightly.
He sat down tiredly and said in a hoarse voice, "I, I really don't have that much money right now."
"That's your business." The man in black lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying leisurely.
Shaman hated the gambler to death. He thought that once he got him back, he would kill him immediately. However, he really didn't have that much cash at the moment, so he whispered, "Why don't you give me two days and I'll find a way to raise money to pay it back to the casino."
The man in black smiled. He slowly blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "Of course there's no problem with that."
Before Shaman could even show a surprised smile on his face, he heard him say, "But according to the rules of our casino, the interest has to be doubled. How about this, I give you 20% interest? 30 million, if you owe it for one day, you will get 6 million in interest, the second day's interest is 7.2 million, and the third day..."
The simple and crude interest compounded, and within three days he couldn't pay back the interest alone. Shaman was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth and saying, "Just two days! I'll go raise the money right away!"
"Deal, I like people who are straightforward." The man in black smiled, a very hearty smile, as if what he was talking about was not a wicked loan sharking, but a dinner invitation.
Shaman stood up quickly, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and gave the gambler a sinister look, "You'd better watch your mouth, otherwise..." He didn't say the last words, but the gambler understood what he meant.
However, the gambler was obviously not afraid of his threat. Instead, he raised his chin at him arrogantly and proudly.
Shaman left the casino with a heavy face. He didn't have that much money, at least not as Shaman. But his other identity... He frowned and shook his head slightly. He vaguely knew that the police were investigating him, but he didn't know why. Because he didn't understand, he had been very cautious recently. But he didn't expect this idiot to come to him at this time...
…
After Shaman left, Lan Sinian walked out of the house with Qin Changqing in his arms.
The man in black was still sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He didn't move when he saw them come out. He laughed and shifted his gaze to Qin Changqing's face.
"Fourth Master, you're living a truly comfortable life. Where did you find such a wonderful partner? Could you introduce her to me?"
Lan Sinian was too lazy to pay attention to him and his eyes moved to the blindfolded gambler.
The man in black was also used to the Fourth Master's indifferent personality, so he smiled and talked to Qin Changqing, "Handsome boy, is it boring to follow the Fourth Master? Why don't you come and follow me? I understand romance much better than him." As he spoke, he winked at Qin Changqing ambiguously.
Qin Changqing glanced at him up and down and shook his head, "No, you are too ugly."
The man in black: “…”
Lan Sinian suddenly laughed, hugged his queen tightly, bent down and kissed him on the lips, "Thank you for the compliment, dear."
Qin Changqing glanced at him sideways and thought to himself, what's wrong with your ears? When did I ever praise you?
The man in black was very dissatisfied with being scolded and showing affection in front of them. He looked at the two of them carefully, smiled very wickedly and started to sow discord between them, "Fourth Master, you are really enviable. You have such a handsome boy following you wholeheartedly, and you also have a handsome Black Feather Wind God like Cang following you loyally. You have the best of both worlds, tsk tsk tsk."
Qin Changqing was still wondering who the Cang he was talking about was, when Lan Sinian had already grabbed his hand and began to express his heart affectionately.
"My dear, you must believe that you will always be my only one. Even if the universe is destroyed, my love for you will never change."
Qin Changqing: "..."
The man in black probably didn't expect that the cold and aloof Mr. Jin Si could actually say such disgusting words. He had a look of shock on his face, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, which made Qin Changqing laugh instead.
"I say, are you guys going to talk about business?" After laughing, Qin Changqing put on a stern face and tried to get the topic back to the point.
Lan Sinian glanced at the man in black, snorted, and said, "I'll take this man away."
The man in black opened his mouth, clearly unwilling to let him take the man away easily. Lan Sinian sneered, pointed a finger at him, and said slowly, "The Blood Wolf Tribe has been very restless lately. I'm secretly supporting the new Blood Wolf King with 1 billion weapons. Find a way to get them to the Blood Wolf Tribe, and I'll give you a commission."
The man in black suddenly closed his open mouth and forced a smile on his face. "Master Ren Si, please take him away. This matter can be discussed easily."
Qin Changqing: "..."
The author has something to say: Qin Changqing: ...Where is your black boss's face?
Man in black: ...No, don't you think the Fourth Master, who looks affectionate but says corny things, is scarier?
Qin Changqing: ...I don't think so = =
