"Then why is this toad placed here?"

"That's your own problem. I seriously doubt your Chamber of Commerce is capable of running Golden Man Lane properly. Let me be frank—the Chamber of Commerce should have been kicked out of Golden Man Lane long ago. I've seen it, and given your current situation, you have no ability to repay the loan on time."

"What if I say we have it?"

Su Chang unceremoniously threw the rent in front of Scott. Seeing that not a cent was missing, Scott's face turned red and warmed. "This... How is this possible? You actually paid it? Why?! This is impossible. The Jinrenxiang terminal has low transportation efficiency and low transaction volume. It doesn't create any value at all. This is evidence of poor management. You can't possibly come up with the rent. You must be cheating! Call your president. I want to confront him face to face!"

"That's enough, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

At this time, a woman with cool clothes, a well-proportioned figure, and short hair with red highlights on the inside and forehead came over and scolded Scott harshly.

Scott was immediately annoyed when he saw this stranger woman who suddenly appeared and dared to scold him: "Who the hell are you?"

Topa showed Scott his badge on his chest: "Topa, I'm from the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"Director To...Topa!"

Scott glanced at Topa's work badge. The P44 level on it was particularly conspicuous, and his calves began to tremble.

Topa pulled out a stack of documents and the dock workers' testimony and said in a serious tone, "I've received evidence from the relevant personnel, Mr. Scott. An investigation has revealed that you engaged in improper business practices, which have severely damaged the interests of the shops and residents of Golden Man Lane. I believe you need to explain yourself."

It’s over, it’s all over!

"I...how could this happen? Which step went wrong..."

Scott couldn't believe that his evidence would appear in the hands of his leader so easily. He felt that he was doomed. Su Shang on the side urged him, "Don't forget our previous bet. You have to apologize to me in front of everyone!"

Scott now just wants to find a Star Raft to escape quickly, but where can he escape to in this situation?

"I, I'm sorry about Jinrenxiang..."

"Louder, you can't hear me."

“I’m already loud…”

"You're such a quiet person and you're acting as a representative. I said I can't hear you, so I can't hear you. Speak louder!"

"I, I want to apologize to the folks in Jinren Lane—"I'm a blind fool! I don't know my place, I can only bark!" Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof! Woof—woof woof, howl—!"

Seeing Scott really barking like a dog, many dock workers and chamber of commerce members felt relieved. They had been ridiculed by this guy a lot during this period.

Watching the heartbroken Scott being escorted away by company employees, Topa walked towards Youyi and Xing, waving and greeting them: "Nice to meet you both again, how are you doing lately? Are you busy at work? Do you work a lot of overtime?"

"Topa, why are you here?" Xing asked curiously.

Topa smiled and replied, "Of course, I'm here to protect the interests of the vast majority of people. Although we're all employees of the company, I cannot tolerate such shady practices and improper means of gaining benefits."

“Are you really an employee of the company?”

"Every family has its own challenges. Even in a large company, there are always dissenting opinions. Even within the Strategic Investment Department, there are many people I disagree with. Even though we're colleagues, we're not on the same page. That's perfectly normal."

"You certainly didn't come here just for this."

"You're worthy of being a star. I can't hide anything from you. It's okay to tell you. This is why I came here."

Topa clapped her hands, and her partner, Accountant, came over to join her, carrying a large box of documents and a large bag of cash on his head. After checking everything and confirming it was correct, he was immediately satisfied. "This thing is a rare weapon for the Strategic Investment Department. I really owe you a big favor this time."

"If it weren't for Miss Toppa's intelligence, we wouldn't have even realized the existence of this thing, nor would we have been able to solve the problem at its root."

As the partner in this project, Youyi naturally has to flatter Topa. If they just pay the rent on time, it can certainly solve the urgent problem, but it cannot solve the crisis encountered by Jinren Lane.

As long as the company wants to develop Jinren Lane, it will inevitably take various actions in the future, and there will be more small moves underneath. By then, I am afraid that only Xianzhou Luofu can officially take the blame.

But that would be unfair.

The most that the Starry Sky Train can do is to provide a relatively fair platform for the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce to give full play to their potential. If they blindly rely on external forces to help them overcome difficulties without making any progress themselves, it would be better for them to give up their territory to the company from the beginning.

This is also the reason why he did not ask Topa, Fu Xuan, Jing Yuan and others for help at the beginning, but chose to collect evidence of the company's improper business practices in private.

Topa: "No, I was just providing a little information. Compared to the great results we've gained, this contribution is truly insignificant. I'll take care of things at the company and give the Golden Man Lane Chamber of Commerce the fair and just rights they've earned. I hope Golden Man Lane will prosper again. If there's anything I can help with in the future, please let me know. No matter how far away we are, the Strategic Investment Department will be happy to help."

"If you want to be busy, there is one."

"Are you going to need me so soon? Just tell me what you want. As I just said, the Strategic Investment Department will respond to any request."

"Please buy me a list. I want the weaknesses of imaginary numbers and ice."

“I haven’t bought mine yet!”

"Just kidding, my strength and plot are high, so I don't need to be on this list."

“…”

"My little money." Looking at the coins taken away by Zhang Zhang, Xing felt pain in his heart.

"Don't worry, you guys helped me so much this time, so I'll definitely reward you. The money will be paid in a legitimate way, not just something you can only look at but not spend."

This "Biography of Officials" is of great use to "Ms. Ci Yu" and even has a bearing on the chances of "Diamond" succeeding in the next election.

It helped the Strategic Investment Department so much.

Apart from anything else, there is no need to worry about money at all, there is enough for you.

As Toppa boarded the company's spaceship, preparing to return with his belongings, another voice rang out: "Sigh, I really envy you, Toppa! The seniors up there are really taking care of you. You've been given full authority over such a prime piece of land as Yalilo-VI, and now this great gift has landed in your hands. I'm afraid the leadership position of the Strategic Investment Department will fall to you in the future."

"Gold Dust, I've said it before. To be in this line of work, you need to be kind. Look, isn't my path getting wider and wider?"

After showing off for a bit, Topa said bluntly: "It's okay, I'm hanging up."

Gold Sand: "Hold on, don't hang on. I have good news for you. While you were dealing with that guy in Xianzhou Luofu, Diamond secured the head of the Building Materials Logistics Department, the renowned Tarafan, a member of the seven-member board! He's going to put his vote on us, understand? We're the ones who'll win, not the Marketing Department. The three Envoys of the Protectorate are on the side of our Strategic Investment Department. This time, Osvaldo can finally stop laughing!"

Topa: "Youyi didn't say he's on our side."

"That's not even taking sides. He's almost telling you, 'I have a big gift, come and take it!' Do you have the face to do that in Osvaldo?"

"You definitely didn't come to me to talk about this. Let's get down to business. If not, I'm hanging up."

"My future boss, don't be impatient. Look, I'm here to give you another achievement."

"Interesting, what case taught you to cooperate?"

"What else could it be? Pinocchio."

"What? Diamond finally chose you? I thought it would be the 'Opal' or 'Dragon Crystal' deal, and at least someone above P46 would have to come forward."

"Who knows? The people in the 'family' are all a bit off-the-wall. Want to do business with them? I don't think it's possible, but the company's methods have always been more than just 'trading'. Now it's time for people like me to step in, right? You're now publicly down and secretly up, and if you can handle two major things in a row, I can't imagine how you'll rise. So, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Consider it, just like helping an old friend."

"Okay, just think of it as a vacation trip."

Chapter 121 The Future of Xianzhou Luofu is Really Bright (8000)

--We have an urgent news report: the bank established by Interstellar Peace Company in Jinren Lane, Luofu, Xianzhou, was attacked by Star Core Hunters. Oswaldo Schneider, head of the "Market Development Department", stated that no matter what the cost, the Star Core Hunters will be brought to justice.

——The following is the list of Star Core Hunter members: Kafka, Sam, Blade, Silver Wolf and "Slave of Fate" Elio.

——According to the information collected by relevant personnel, it has been confirmed that the true identity of "Slave of Fate" Elio is a female, her height is unknown, and she is wearing a KFC Crazy Thursday paper bag on her head... Bounty: 150 billion credits.

——Special note: Due to its special nature, Elio must not be harmed in any form or made to lose his ability to think independently.

The reward image below is a very abstract stick figure that is barely recognizable as a woman wearing a KFC Crazy Thursday paper bag.

Bai Lu, who was eating snacks in Jinren Lane, watched the news report and couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, 150 billion! One person is worth more than the other Star Core Hunters combined. It makes me want to catch her."

"This isn't funny at all, because I'm the one who's wanted!" Mingxi was extremely mad at the moment. The incident in Jinren Lane was temporarily over, but she suddenly became the boss of the Star Core Hunters, and a bounty of 150 billion was offered on her. She couldn't even sleep peacefully now.

You Yi and Xing and the others were just pretending to be someone else, and they were just mentioning the bounty for the members of the Star Core Hunters. But he was the real person who appeared on the screen and was mistaken for Elio himself!

If I were to be discovered, my career as the secretary of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce would probably be over.

Seeing her so anxious, You Yi stirred the steaming five-grain soy milk in front of him to cool it down faster, and comforted her: "Don't worry, no one will come after you."

"how do I say this?"

"Do you know why the people at Interstellar Peace can only draw very abstract stick figures, and the only feature they can draw is the KFC headgear?"

"do not know."

"Because I inflicted cognitive impairment on you, anyone who sees you will only remember your KFC headband. Their impression of you will be fleeting. Furthermore, the more they try to describe you, the more confusing the image becomes. That's why no one has been able to describe your specific features. Trying to find you based on this abstract painting is a fool's dream."

The temperature of the stirred soy milk dropped. Youyi picked up a long straw and inserted it in, sucking it in small sips.

It's sweet and mixed with grains of cereals, and has a unique flavor when chewed. No wonder Bai Lu comes here often. The snacks in Jinren Lane are not bad.

Despite Youyi's assurance, Mingxi was still a little worried. That was the Interstellar Peace Company, a giant in the universe. Who knows, there might be some black technology that could solve this cognitive barrier.

Seeing through her thoughts, You Yi loosened the straw in his mouth and said casually, "Even the Yizhe of Liuguang Yiting can't do this kind of thing. The only one who can do it in the Interstellar Peace Company is the Amber King."

Mingxi: “???”

No, brother, that's not the way to joke.

"You can't say that. If the people in the company heard you say that about Butian Siming, they'd probably come out and fight you. Although it's true that you know the company's director, there are still many people in the company who are more powerful than the director."

"But I'm a nobody, so I guess the company won't bother with me. Thank you so much this time. Without you, I don't know when Golden Man Alley will be prosperous. When you come here to spend money in the future, just say my name, and all the snacks are free."

Jinren Lane had just survived a crisis and was in a state of disrepair. Mingxi, as the secretary of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, had endless work waiting for her.

The rise and fall of this land ultimately depends on themselves.

Mingxi left, and after dinner, Xingze set out to start his new round of adventure. Suchang went back to continue the patrol work of the Yunqi Army, and Bailu planned to continue eating and drinking in Jinren Lane, and consider other things after she was full.

You Yi originally wanted to accompany Bai Lu and take her out for some fun, but he noticed someone's eyes were on him.

Following the source of the gaze, I saw a purple-haired girl with a large sword on her waist looking at me in a deserted street or alley.

While Bai Lu was still concentrating on thinking about what to eat next, You Yi called Huang Quan over on the pretext of asking for advice.

You Yi looked at Huang Quan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and took the initiative to speak: "Miss Huang Quan, I just saw that you seemed to have something to say to me, so I took the initiative to call you over. If you have any difficulties and need my help, please feel free to ask."

"How thoughtful." Huang Quan nodded, his cool voice rising and falling slowly as his lips moved. "Actually, I wanted to ask you something about you. When Takama-ga-hara and Izumo were destroyed, I vaguely sensed the presence of another presence. At first, I ignored it because it was too subtle. But after meeting you and sensing your presence, that sense of dissonance is something I can't shake off no matter what."

"I can't easily answer this question. The only advice I can give you is to ignore your uncomfortable feelings. It will be better for both of you."

"You know my watch. On the burning earth, I made a promise: no matter the cost, humanity will sever the void!"

Izumo and Takama-ga-hara returned to nothingness, and even Yomi himself became a "self-destructor" who gradually lost himself and embarked on the path of "nothingness".

The only difference is that although she has embarked on the path of "nothingness", she uses this power to fight against "nothingness". She guards the road leading to the abyss of "nothingness", watching over those who do not want to fall into "nothingness" to leave, and hopes that one day she can break the curse of "nothingness".

But now she vaguely felt that her enemy was not only "nothingness", but also other unknown existences.

Huang Quan's eyes were calm. "That enemy is related to you. It is destined that you will have a battle, and I have foreseen your death."

"Instead of worrying about my safety, you should pay more attention to your own body. With this tattered body, how far can you go on "IX"?"

"There are only two of us left in Izumo and Takama-ga-hara. Time is running out for farewell. Unlike me, you've found the meaning of roaming the galaxy and have your own destination. If possible, I hope you can stay away from this as much as possible."

Huang Quan took a deep breath, hoping to use the cool night air to cool down her hot chest, but when the air entered her lungs, she felt neither the cold air nor the burning heat in her chest.

You Yi sighed deeply. He felt that this guy had been eroded by "nothingness" to the point that his mind was not clear. He was a living dead who could hardly take care of himself, and now he was meddling in his affairs.

But this kind of person is right in front of me, and I can't let her die in vain.

Looking at Huang Quan, who suddenly seemed to be dozing off, his head moving up and down like a rooster pecking at rice, You Yi raised his hands in surrender: "I'm really defeated by you. The joy and sweetness of life only add a touch of color to your fading memories."

Pulling out the long sword from Huang Quan's waist, the purple-haired ranger changed his appearance instantly. His long hair faded and turned pure white, and scarlet flowers bloomed on his fair skin. His right arm transformed from flesh and blood into a deep blue starry sky that seemed to contain endless stars, but this time, there were countless golden fragments in the deep starry sky.

These golden fragments poured into Huang Quan's long sword like flowing light, injecting enough joy and sweet emotions in life into this long sword from "beginning" to "end". Then You Yi pierced Huang Quan's chest with a sword, adding a few strands of purple highlights to his flying snow-white hair.

After doing all this, the long sword was sheathed and the two returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at Huang Quan who seemed to be more normal, You Yi asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Pinoconi." Huang Quan closed his eyes, pondered for two seconds, and continued, "I'm going to return the belongings of an old friend and bury him... where he belongs."

"Our next destination is also Pinocchio. Want a ride?"

"May I?"

"No, I'm just being polite. Who knows if you'll start asking all sorts of questions once you get on the bus? I don't really like to fool people with riddles, but this isn't the right time for me to tell you everything, so you better go and cool off."

Huang Quan felt regretful. She had sensed that You Yi definitely knew some secrets that she didn't know, and this secret concerned the Star God and even the future development of the universe. It was just that the other party was unwilling to tell, and she didn't want to force him to tell.

As long as we are both well, it will be a sunny day.

Don't force too much.

Before Huang Quan left, You Yi took out a music box and handed it to him: "If you are going to Pinocchio, this thing may be helpful to you."

Huang Quan took the music box and transformed back into the Sea Patrolman, recognizing the object's true identity. "Is this... an invitation from the watchmaker?"

"This is one of mine... well, a friend gave it to me. But we already have an invitation to the Starry Sky Train, so it's useless to me. Without an invitation, it's not easy to participate in the Harmonious Music Festival."

"Thank you."
