"They say having someone in the government makes things easy. Brother Beihu, you really have been too good to your brothers." As I spoke, I took out a Tianyi Bank check for one thousand Tribulation Lightning Crystals and handed it to Beihu Chen. "I went over the betting slips and specifically checked your old records. I found that you were still short one thousand Tribulation Lightning Crystals that hadn't been paid out to you. Not to mention anything else, this definitely isn't a bribe."
Beihu Chen's eyes lit up as he reached out and accepted the document. He said sheepishly, "Oh, look at my memory. I'd actually forgotten how much I'd bet. Thank goodness you were so meticulous, brother. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had the time to go back and check such a sum of income."
The largest bet this fellow had placed was only one hundred Tribulation Lightning Crystals. Even if he won every single one, he couldn't have reached a thousand. This was plainly a bribe.
"How could I trouble you over such a small matter? If there's anything else in the future, just tell me." I smiled. Beihu Chen hurriedly gave me a thumbs-up and said, "You really are a good brother. In the Ninefold Immortal Region, you truly cover the sky with one hand now. In the future, you'll have to look after our Beihu household a little more. We wouldn't dare bother you."
Although Beihu Chen was tall and handsome, blessed with the Beihu household's excellent genes, his personality had been tainted by the atmosphere of a spoiled heir. If the Beihu household's family rules hadn't been so strict and its influence so formidable, this fellow would probably have ended up like Ren Xianghe of the Ren household—sent to serve at the front lines
