"None?" I asked.
"There is, but it should be... all my assets. I'll go to the storeroom to show you."
Not long after, the boss pushed a small cart back with a creak. On it was a small box. When opened, it was filled with gold bars. Not ancient gold bars, but modern banking products, with grams and purity marked. No need to weigh, I trusted the boss.
Had Chen Lu transfer the money. After the transaction, I tried to lift the small box with one hand – it was that small, and I felt like I could lift it with one hand.
I didn't succeed. I had to extract the true qi from the dual demon cores to barely lift it. But in the boss's eyes, I already possessed divine strength, and he looked astonished.
"It's quite heavy," I said, pretending to be relaxed as I put it down, unable to lift it. I looked at the fox demon, "Kunkun, take it."
"Got it," the fox demon said, lifting it with one hand, much stronger than me.
After buying the gold, we went to an outdoor supplies store and bought some elastic zip ties that could be directly attached to the dolphins. The accompanying nylon pouch could hold the gold bars.
Back at the Golden Rooster Ridge base, we tested it. It was perfect. The dolphins transformed, carried the gold bars, and set off riding the wind and waves.
As soon as they left, the base instantly became much quieter. Most of the remaining people were acquaintances.
In the afternoon, I had nothing to do. I called Lin Xi to ask about the situation. Lin Xi said everything was normal. Their contact in the Chi You organization finally reported back that the Miao King had returned to his ancestral home in Xiangxi and would no longer go to Zhongnan Mountain. It seemed he was giving up the mission.
"If there's no chess battle, does that mean the Miao King doesn't need to be eliminated?" I asked Lin Xi.
"No, the Miao King still needs to be dealt with, otherwise, he will harm more people. This is a strict order from 201, unrelated to the conflict with the two great demon races."
"Any news on Long Yue?" I asked again.
"None, but she should have returned to the Northeast. She previously investigated your base in Lvshun, so I advise you to be careful."
"No worries, we have enough people. Without the Miao King's help, she's no match for us."
As soon as I finished speaking, Yaoyao suddenly burst in and pointed towards the south of the mountain, "Your old friend is here to see you."
"Who?" I activated my qi-seeing technique. Damn it, speak of the devil, it was Long Yue's purplish-black aura, already at the crossroads.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked.
"Nothing, Long Yue is here. I'll go meet her."
"Ah? She found you already? How many people? Do you need our support?" Lin Xi also became nervous. She had encountered Long Yue in the Northeast before and knew her strength well.
"Just her alone. Don't worry, Daji and Diana are both here," I said. These two should have no problem taking down Long Yue alone, so there's really no need to panic.
"That's good. Perhaps she's here to seek peace," Lin Xi guessed.
"You don't have a kill order for Long Yue, do you?" I asked.
"No. Although the Mohe organization sometimes gets involved in undesirable events, we can turn a blind eye. After all, they are from the Shan Hai demon race, and it's not realistic to expect them to be as obedient as the Bai Ze demon race."
"Then I understand. I'll hang up now. I'll report back to you later about the talks with Long Yue."
"Okay, be careful."
After hanging up, I went to the window. Long Yue must have driven here. Her aura was moving at a leisurely pace. Yaoyao was more nervous than me, asking if we should set an ambush.
"She might not be here to fight, so why set an ambush? How about this, let's call all of Daji and the others out, show Long Yue our strength to dispel any illegal thoughts she might have, and then see what she actually wants." I said, playing a royal flush against her three of a kind.
Five minutes later, our group stood at the main entrance of the base, watching a BMW X5 approach. The BMW stopped about twenty meters away. Long Yue, inside, didn't get out. The car's tint was too dark to see her expression clearly. I didn't know what she was thinking, but her aura was quite steady.
Since she wasn't making a move, I decided to take the initiative and walked over, knocking on the driver's side window.
Long Yue opened the car door. I took a step back. As Long Yue opened the door and I saw her, my heart involuntarily clenched. I blurted out, "Who, who did this to you!"
