The Casino Boss's Request

Xuan Ye clapped his hands, composed himself, took one last look at the scattered goods, and then left, wondering if anyone would pick them up.

Then, Xuan Ye returned to the street and looked at the boundless sky, feeling his mood calm down.

Suddenly, another group of people emerged from behind Xuan Ye. This group was quite different from the previous one, with each of them being burly and strong. From behind these strong men, a middle-aged man and several other burly men slowly walked out.

These people blocked Xuan Ye's path, saying, "Heh! Are you all trying to steal my money too?"

Xuan Ye looked at the group of people in front of him with a cold smile. His originally calm mood was suddenly disturbed, the atmosphere became quiet, and even the temperature around him dropped a lot in an instant.

A chill enveloped them. The middle-aged man looked at Xuan Ye, who seemed a little strange, and gazed into his deep black eyes. A sense of fear welled up from the bottom of his heart, as if he were shrouded in death.

"Um! Um, little friend, don't misunderstand. I'm not here to rob you of your money. After all, it's just material possessions, and having more of it is of no use."

The middle-aged man standing in front of Xuan Ye spoke in a trembling voice, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

"Uh! You said you didn't come for the money, so why did you come to find me? There must be a reason! I don't believe you came here just to see me."

Knowing that the middle-aged man and his group weren't there to cause him trouble, Xuan Ye let go of his hostility towards them. With the hostility gone, the fear of death also dissipated, and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

"To be honest, I'm the owner of the casino you just visited. Actually, I came here this time to hire you to manage our casino. You should have sensed that my casino doesn't have any ninjas, and you happen to be a powerful ninja. I wonder if that would be suitable?"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked nervously at Xuan Ye's expression, seemingly worried that Xuan Ye would show any opposition.

"You want me to work at your casino? You've got some serious plans! I just wonder how much you're willing to pay me?"

Xuan Ye crossed his arms and looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him with a half-smile.

In fact, Xuan Ye felt that it wouldn't be a problem to be in charge of any casino, because that casino was neither too big nor too small, it could be considered a medium-sized casino!

So basically, those who gamble at that casino are ordinary people; there probably aren't many ninjas who would go. Therefore, there aren't many places where Xuan Ye would be needed.

Even if there were ninjas gambling in that casino, they wouldn't be any particularly strong ones. At most, they would Chunin some Genin. So what? Xuan Ye could easily deal with Genin and Chunin!

Furthermore, Xuan Ye was looking for a quiet place to cultivate for a while. He hadn't been able to focus on cultivation for the Xuan Ye month, which had resulted in very slow growth in his physical proficiency and virtually no proficiency in various Taijutsu. However, he didn't need to worry about the growth of his chakra proficiency, as it would increase automatically without any need for cultivation.

If the other ninjas knew what Xuan Ye was thinking at this moment, they would definitely vomit blood. If Xuan Ye's rate of strength growth is considered slow, then no one in the Shinobi World has a particularly fast rate of strength growth.

Faced with Xuan Ye's ambiguous question, the middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a while. The person in front of him was a powerful ninja. If he offered too little money, he would definitely not be able to hire a ninja. If he offered too much money, the casino would not make any money. Therefore, he had to choose a good price.

Xuan Ye stood there, arms crossed, waiting for the middle-aged man's answer. If the price offered by the middle-aged man was reasonable, then checking out the casino for him wouldn't be too difficult. If the price was too low, then he didn't necessarily have to stay here.

"Um! How about this, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver a month, Ninja Lord?" The middle-aged man thought for a while before cautiously saying a number to Xuan Ye.

He had considered this figure for a long time before saying it. After all, his casino wasn't a particularly large one, with a monthly profit of only about 30 million taels of silver. Adding in other casino expenses and employee salaries, the final profit was only between 20 million and 25 million taels. Therefore, giving Xuan Ye 10 million taels of silver was a more appropriate choice.

"Ten million taels of silver a month? Are you sure?" Xuan Ye asked the middle-aged man with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Ninja Lord, it's ten million taels of silver a month, that's the maximum amount." The middle-aged man seemed to be frightened by Xuan Ye's smile, thinking that the amount he offered was too small.

"Um! Boss, don't be so nervous! Your nervousness is making me feel a little embarrassed."

"Alright! That's settled then! I accept your employment, boss. From now on, I'll be based at your casino, but I have some conditions," Xuan Ye said somewhat seriously.

"Request? Ninja Lord, what is your request?" the casino owner asked.

"Hehe! Actually, it's not a big request. I just need you to find me a quiet place to live, prepare three meals a day for me, and please don't bother me with ordinary people causing trouble." Xuan Ye said with another smile.

"Uh! Such a request? That's really not that difficult."

"Preparing a quiet place is no problem. There's a courtyard behind our casino that can meet your needs. Needless to say, we'll also provide you with three meals a day. As for those ordinary people, you don't need to lift a finger, Ninja Lord. If our casino can't even handle a few ordinary people, then we shouldn't be running a casino."

"However, if other ninjas come to cause trouble, then we will need your help, Ninja Lord. After all, the power of ninjas is something that ordinary people like us cannot withstand," the Casino Boss said respectfully to Xuan Ye.

"Uh! If ninjas come to cause trouble, just let me know, and I'll take care of the problem for you."

Xuan Ye readily agreed and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder.
