Chapter 135

Upon hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Shirou pondered for a moment.

He has been very discreet these past few days and hasn't caused any trouble.

If I really had to say, it would only be about assisting the Hooded Figure in arresting people, rescuing people from the fire, and what happened last night.

There seem to be quite a few, but strictly speaking, only the last one caused trouble for others.

"That's just the surface. Your actions have caused a lot of trouble and disrupted the Knights of the Round Table's investigation."

Wei Yanwu crossed his arms over his chest, tapping his right index finger repeatedly.

"Hey, Wei, don't go too far. Is your so-called investigation progress just like your status in the family? Do you really think I don't know about your investigation records over the past few months?!"

Upon hearing Wei Yanwu's words, the Great Emperor interjected.

There was no other way; their own employees were too kind, so they needed him to keep things in order.

"... What you're talking about is Officer Chen's, what I'm talking about is the investigation I had someone conduct."

Whether it was Shirou's imagination or not, he felt that Wei Yanwu's lips twitched slightly when the Emperor mentioned family status.

"That's none of my business. Who would know if you were doing things so secretly? Are you trying to protect yourself from thieves?"

The Emperor was quite dismissive of this.

Did Wei Yanwu send someone to investigate?

Perro believed it.

You can believe anyone, just not this guy.

"Sigh, let's get straight to the point. Shirou, do you have a way to recreate last night's explosion?"

Judging from the Emperor's expression, Wei Yanwu knew that the plan would have to be changed again.

They originally wanted to take the initiative, but thanks to a certain penguin, the plan was directly declared bankrupt.

He now truly felt that the Emperor seemed determined to protect Shirou.

According to some sources, Shirou's Originium Arts are very special.

Bows, arrows, swords, clothes... it seems there's nothing he can't produce if he wants to.

All he knows so far is that Shirou's archery skills are quite remarkable, with a range of at least three kilometers.

Not to mention the "Spiral Sword" that instantly illuminated Lungmen.

He still doesn't understand how Shirou managed to do it.

"It takes a little effort, but you generally won't need that much."

Upon hearing Wei Yanwu's question, Shirou first glanced at his boss and only spoke after receiving permission.

If he were alone, it wouldn't matter if he said it directly; it's not something worth hiding.

Now that my own boss is here, it's perfectly reasonable to ask for his permission.

For Shirou, yesterday's explosion was achieved by injecting a large amount of magical energy; generally speaking, such a powerful explosion is unnecessary.

"So that means it can be used again?"

Ignoring Shirou's subsequent statement, Wei Yanwu felt a headache coming on.

I thought that was our trump card, and now you're telling me we can try again with a little more effort?

"Just as you said."

Shirou nodded and said.

"Call..."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Wei Yanwu quickly took a drag of his cigarette to calm his nerves.

"I told you not to come, now you're scared, aren't you? Go home and seek comfort from your wife."

The Emperor, watching Wei Yanwu's expression, happily took a sip of red wine and choked on it.

"???"

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Shirou felt like the boss was particularly irritating today?

"That's not the case."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Wei Yanwu quickly calmed down and spoke while exhaling clouds of smoke.

It wasn't that he was scared, but Wei Yanwu was a little worried that if he put a super weapon like Shirou in Penguin Logistics, Lungmen would have a big fireworks display every few days.

This won't do; we need to think of a solution.

"You're just being stubborn,"

Looking at Wei Yanwu's expression, the Emperor said disdainfully.

"You won't have to worry if you keep this powerful weapon by your side."

Ignoring the Emperor's provocation, Wei Yanwu slowly took a sip of tea.

"I'm doing it my way, it's none of your business."

"It's indeed none of my business, but your family's weapon of mass destruction is a bit too much."

"As long as I keep an eye on things, isn't that enough? You're really paranoid. Not everyone's heart is as dark as yours, okay?"

"This is his duty. Aren't you afraid he's faking it?"

"If he's just faking it all, then I guess I'll have to hire him to film a TV series."

"..."

For some reason, the two suddenly started a verbal battle, leaving Shirou no room to intervene.

Rather, it's better to say that things are going quite well now; as long as the gods don't bother with a mortal like him.

Caught in the middle, Shirou silently shifted his body back to avoid getting too much of the smell of smoke on himself.

I still have to take care of the children, and thirdhand smoke is very harmful.

The current situation seems to be that the Emperor has the upper hand, and he frequently challenges Wei Yanwu with his words.

As for Wei Yanwu, he seemed to have everything under control.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Shirou has a feeling that Wei Yanwu seems to be planning something?

"Tsk, what do you mean by that? Are you saying we're corrupting this kid?"

Just as Shirou suspected that someone was plotting against him, the Emperor suddenly shouted.

"Who in the entire Lungmen doesn't know Penguin Logistics' modus operandi? What if, I mean, what if you manage to assimilate this kid? Wouldn't that be quite dangerous? Don't say it's impossible; that idol is already showing signs of being led astray."

Faced with the Emperor's loud questioning, Wei Yanwu simply took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled.

"Being able to assimilate people means our team has a good atmosphere! If you're so capable, then assimilate him into the Knights of the Round Table!"

The Emperor became more and more agitated as he spoke, almost pointing a gun at Wei Yanwu.

"Okay, let's do it your way. Let him work at the Knights of the Round Table for a few days and see how it goes."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Wei Yanwu revealed a victor's smile.

"An indescribable penguin scream You bastard, you schemed against me?"

This sudden turn of events almost broke the Emperor's back.

Only then did the Emperor realize that he had been outmaneuvered by Wei Yanwu.

What's even more infuriating is that he was the one who brought it up, so he can't make any other demands. For a businessman, this is practically a huge loss.

He was wondering why Wei Yenwu was so passive today; it turned out he'd been waiting here!

"How can you call it scheming? This is called communication skills."

Although he successfully outmaneuvered the Emperor this time, Wei Yanwu himself also suffered a lot of verbal attacks.

It has to be said that the Emperor is really strong in this aspect; he almost lost his composure several times.

Fortunately, he eventually got the result he wanted.

Although it was quite different from what we initially envisioned, it was still much better than the worst possible outcome.

If he remembered correctly, Swire and Hoshiguma seemed to think highly of Shirou, and even wanted to poach him to the Knights of the Round Table.

He's already been brought to the Knights of the Round Table; whether they can keep him or not depends on how they handle things.

"Um?"

Shirou didn't understand the current situation.

Why is he suddenly going to the Knights of the Round Table?

Shirou felt that the situation had gone from bad to incomprehensible.

"Shirou, right? I'll contact you again in a few days and arrange some work for you. Consider it payment from the Knights of the Round Table for cleaning up your mess."

After saying that, Wei Yanwu stood up and prepared to leave.

"...I see."

Upon hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Shirou thought for a moment and then agreed.

He knew what the other person meant by "cleaning up the mess".

Yesterday's Imaginary Break caused considerable damage to nearby buildings; not to mention the glass, some buildings even had their roofs blown off.

The Knights of the Round Table helped with all of this, and of course, Isv also provided assistance under other pretexts.

So, it seems quite reasonable for Wei Yanwu to suggest that he work at the Knights of the Round Table for a few days?

"Don't worry, we won't make things too difficult for you. Besides, you know people in the Knights of the Round Table, don't you?"

Seeing that Shirou accepted reality so quickly, Wei Yanwu said.

At the same time, he carefully wrapped up the pipe in his hand and put it in his pocket.

"Yes, I do know someone like that..."

"That's right, having acquaintances around will prevent it from being too awkward."

Wei Yanwu is preparing himself mentally for his future temporary job at the Knights of the Round Table.

As for the Emperor?

He was still holding his hair and letting out an indescribable scream.

139 Taking a step back opens up a whole new world.

Just as the room was turning into a scene from hell.

Exusiai and Croissant, who were outside the door, were trying their best to hear what was happening inside.

There was no sound at all just now, it's all because the door to this room is too sturdy and has too much soundproofing.

Now...

Not to mention Exusiai and Croissant, even Sora and Texas, who were not far away, could hear the screams of their boss.

Based on their understanding of their boss, this situation usually means that the boss has encountered something incomprehensible and shocking.

Or perhaps they were set up by someone.

Thinking about the people inside, the group immediately understood that it must be the latter.

"It seems like the boss always comes out worse off when he meets Mr. Wei."

Croissant by the door muttered a complaint and then left the vicinity of the gate.

This wasn't the first time the Emperor and Wei Yanwu had met like this.

Moreover, most of the time the Emperor is at a slight disadvantage, though this is only from the surface.

As for other aspects or deeper levels, they don't know.

In any case, unless you happen to understand the boss's personality, he basically won't suffer even the slightest loss.

"Isn't that something that happens all the time? I'm more curious about how Shirou is feeling inside."

Exusiai standing nearby, also left the doorway. After all, she couldn't hear very well to begin with, and now the boss's voice had drowned her out.
