Chapter 159

After receiving Shirou's answer, Wei Yanwu frowned slightly.

If Shirou had never been to Ursus, then he would essentially have no connection to the information he had on the Red Demon of the North.

The possibility that the other party is lying cannot be ruled out... This kind of question-and-answer environment is troublesome, with too much uncertainty.

"A relationship? If we only look at this information, I should know him, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Shirou spoke.

"Should?"

Hearing these words, so full of uncertainty, gave Wei Yanwu a headache.

"Um."

Shirou didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said and nodded.

"..."

Seeing Shirou's expression, Wei Yanwu thought for a moment.

Based on the combined intelligence gathered from the Emperor, Shirou, and himself, he could roughly deduce what had happened.

Shirou's way of speaking still gave him a bit of a headache.

It's one thing to speak with depth, but this kind of speaking style, full of uncertainty... is a bit unpleasant.

So Wei Yanwu talked to Shirou for a long time, and Shirou tried his best to answer Wei Yanwu's questions, while also gaining a lot of knowledge that was not very important.

For example, besides Ursus, it seems that the one Wei Yanwu was truly wary of was Koschei, or Black Serpent.

It's no wonder the other party was so wary of him, after all, Koschei is active in Ursus, and the information Wei Yanwu has is practically saying that he is from Ursus.

The Emperor immediately recognized that those things were meant to distract Wei Yanwu, and the old dragon actually took the bait.

However, based on his understanding of the other party, Wei Yanwu must have a backup plan.

At least he just saw that the number of people in Black Cloak seemed to have decreased by more than half, and those were all Wei Yanwu's men.

"I understand now. Your people do seem to have no connection with Koschei. This was indeed my mistake. We just agreed that you would contact my people about those matters."

Having obtained the information and answers he wanted, Wei Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and spoke to the Emperor beside him.

"Oh, I'll rip you off big time, don't worry."

Seeing that the two had finally finished talking, the Emperor jumped down from his chair and said.

God knows how he got through this period; Wei Yanwu is just too annoying!

If it were him talking to Wei Yanwu, he would have directly confronted him instead of speaking politely like Shirou.

Wei Yanwu seemed to be asking a million questions, while Shirou was answering them.

Don't answer their questions so honestly! It makes me uncomfortable!

Unfortunately, he had agreed with Wei Yanwu not to interfere in the conversation, so he could only watch as Shirou continued to leak his information.

Although Shirou himself was conscious of not mentioning certain things, Wei Yanwu still managed to piece them together slowly through a large number of questions.

"Please don't scare my people again. The last one who went with your Penguin Logistics has seen a psychiatrist several times since."

Despite the Emperor's threatening words, Wei Yanwu's face was full of indifference.

Anyway, everything that needed to be dealt with has been dealt with, Shirou can now be added to the whitelist. He still holds the card of a humanoid tactical terminator.

Compared to this, the benefits he brought to Penguin Logistics are negligible.

As the old saying goes, he may lose, but he will definitely not suffer a loss.

"Last time you only took him around most of the Longmen Lungmen, and he can't even handle this? Wei Yenwu, aren't your men too weak?"

Upon hearing Wei Yanwu's words, the Emperor expressed his disdain.

"At least this time, please don't drive at 250 km/h in Lungmen, or I'll have the Knights of the Round Table destroy your car."

"Alright, alright, kid, let's go! This place is so boring, I need to hurry back to my bar to find my old friends. Poor guy, he's in his own home but can't do what he wants."

After giving Wei Yanwu a perfunctory reply, the Emperor took off on his short legs to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a jab at Wei Yanwu's younger brother, Wei.

What does this mean?

Shirou followed the Emperor away, but expressed his doubts about the Emperor's words.

"You'll understand once you've had more contact with it."

The Emperor didn't say it directly; many things are better left unsaid in private than spoken directly, as it could hurt feelings.

This is especially true of good news that everyone in Lungmen should know about.

If it weren't for the concern that Penguin Logistics might have to relocate, the Emperor would definitely have written a song about family hierarchy.

"Oh... okay."

Seeing that the boss didn't seem inclined to say anything, Shirou stopped asking.

He finally relaxed after leaving Wei Yanwu's office. Things had happened a bit too fast. If the Emperor hadn't arrived in time, a fight might have broken out.

"Did Director Wei give you any trouble?"

Seeing the two people come out, Hoshiguma, who had been guarding the door, stepped forward and asked.

The people nearby also turned their gazes over.

"It's alright, isn't it? At least the atmosphere is much better than at the beginning. They only asked a few questions."

Faced with a barrage of stares, Shirou thought for a moment and said...

"Some? I'd say a hundred million? Wei Yanwu really dares to ask, and you really dare to answer. Luckily, it's all your own business."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the Emperor, who was talking to Isv, turned around and retorted.

What a fool! He revealed all his information with just a few questions!

No, this can't be blamed on Shirou. It should be said that Wei Yanwu was too insidious and dark.

That guy's heart is truly filthy.

"Didn't you tell me to try my best to answer the other person's questions?"

Shirou, somewhat embarrassed by the Emperor's merciless criticism, said...

"Oh dear... is there any hope Isv Is?"

Seeing Shirou's expression, the Emperor was too lazy to complain anymore and turned to Isv to ask a question.

"Boss, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just a programmer."

Faced with his boss's expectant gaze, Isv said he was powerless to do anything.

If he weren't outmatched, he would definitely be the first to rush up and electrocute Shirou.

Heaven knows if all those life philosophies he taught Shirou were used to feed Lupo, since he hasn't improved at all!

"Was I just rejected?"

Seeing the two of them, Shirou asked his teammates.

Unfortunately, what awaited him was not a reply from the three of them, but laughter.

Not only the three from Penguin Logistics, but also Hoshiguma, Chen, and Swire were laughing.

Chen and Texas smiled more subtly, while the others... Shirou declined to comment.

"Don't worry about it, we're the same way."

Exusiai felt her stomach hurt from laughing so much, so she patted Shirou on the shoulder to comfort him.

Although the effect is very subtle.

"The three of us will go in first. Shirou, will you wait for us here or go back first?"

After laughing for a while, Swire wiped away the tears that had streamed down her face from laughing too hard and said...

There's no way around it, the scene just now was too funny. Even Changfenlong next to me laughed. Is it too much for her to laugh like that?

"I'll wait here..."

Shirou originally intended to wait until the three of them finished talking before returning together, but the Emperor interrupted him.

"We also have some things we'd like to discuss with this kid. We'll send him back to the Knights of the Round Table before noon."

"Then we should...?"

Upon hearing her boss's words, Exusiai wondered if she could take a half-day off.

"You guys go back to delivering the goods! Getting caught for speeding is ridiculous!"

Upon hearing Exusiai's voice, the Emperor spoke without any mercy.

You think you can slack off and skip work in front of the boss?

Dream on!

"Oh no! How could this happen!"

Exusiai lazy dreams have been shattered, feels terrible. Even the halo above her head and the light of her wings have dimmed considerably.

"There was no speeding; it was Sir Swire who made a mistake."

Texas, standing to the side, didn't pay attention to these things and simply corrected her boss's words slightly.

"Phew!... Thank goodness they got inside, otherwise it would have been terrible."

Upon hearing Texas's way of referring to Swire, Shirou felt he almost instinctively covered his ears.

Anyone who works in the Knights of the Round Table knows that Swire gets angry, her first words are incredibly loud, loud enough to pierce your eardrums.

Furthermore, Swire is particularly sensitive about his name, which is why Shirou's first reaction upon hearing "Sir Swire" is to cover his ears.

Fortunately, the person had already gone into the office, so SAFE.

What were you talking about in there just now?

Croissant asked curiously. When they arrived, they saw the tense atmosphere between the three of them and Wei Yanwu. They wondered what Shirou had done to be treated like this.

Fortunately, she had good hearing and overheard about Shirou from Sir Swire and tipped him off, otherwise things would have been really bad.

"Hmm... Mr. Wei has misunderstood something?"

After thinking about it, Shirou decided it was best not to reveal it casually.

Given the attitudes of his boss and Isv, Shirou has become even more cautious in this regard.

"Oh, I see. But it's good that you're alright."

Croissant was just asking casually and didn't expect to find out what happened inside from Shirou.

As an intelligence gatherer, she knew what she should know and what she shouldn't inquire about.

"Alright, you three should go to work now."

Seeing the group's antics, the Emperor said.

He was in a terrible mood and desperately needed the liquor he had treasured in the bar to tide him over.

However, before that, we need to take care of Shirou's matter first.

Upon hearing their boss's instructions, the three of them quickly left the scene.

Because of Swire, their delivery schedule is slower now, and if it continues to be delayed, they may not make it in time for dinner.

They absolutely must avoid this kind of thing!

"As for the kid, you can come with us."

After watching the three of them take the elevator downstairs, the Emperor spoke to Shirou.

157 You used my money to pick up girls?

At the Emperor's request, Shirou left with the other party and Isv.

They boarded the Penguin Logistics vehicle, with Isv driving and the passenger seat empty. Shirou and the Emperor sat in the back.

The Emperor then took a bottle of red wine from what appeared to be a thermos and opened it.
