Although I often complain that it's disgusting, I rarely try to annoy the black snake.

Although the two sides are mostly hostile, they often conduct business through transactions.

At least we can still be good friends, right?

Huang Cao: "Old Snake, you've handed over all your assets in Lungmen to Utopia's subordinates. Do you no longer want Lungmen? Are you choosing to leave early and go back to Ursus to retire?"

Black Serpent: "Let's not talk about it. Things are a complete mess in Ursus. I'm converting 30% of the profits from my current businesses into management fees. Of course, if you want to lose money, there's nothing I can do. At least the contract states that the principal is guaranteed; at worst, you just won't make any money."

Master Huang's contract is indeed very tempting. If you really only want to protect your principal, you only need to pay a fixed management fee every year.

However, if you want your money to generate more money, you must add operating costs to the fixed management fee, and Black Snake chose the latter option.

Although the fixed hosting fee is also expensive, at least it won't be halved all at once.

At least these things are better given to Master Huang than to the Yan Country.

This is a strategy of using one tiger to devour another.

After hanging up the phone, Black Snake immediately spread the news that he had deposited his assets in Utopia Bank.

And he orchestrated another self-destructive attack, destroying most of the assets he hadn't yet recovered from Adams.

Wei Yanwu was so angry that his beard stood on end, but he couldn't find any way to retaliate.

Adams immediately backed down because the remaining assets of the black snake had already been deposited into Utopia Bank.

The person he feared most in his life was Master Huang, or rather, his whole family was terrified of Master Huang.

After all, in Victoria, the Shi Huaiya Family was a useful tool.

It can be replaced easily, but once it's replaced, everything is completely ruined.

So when they heard the news, Wei Yanwu and the others fell silent, while only Edward remained full of enthusiasm.

Edward suggested, "If you ask me, I'd find a few people to wear masks and, under the cover of darkness..."

Adams immediately refused. "Don't drag me into this. Even if you stole it, I would never take it. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

Even the Rat King agreed with Adams' decision and saw through Edward's simple-minded nature at a glance.

"Mr. Edward, you must understand one thing: being an enemy of Utopia and Utopia being an enemy of you are two different things. Believe me, if you really act impulsively, you will definitely die a terrible death in a few days."

Edward couldn't understand why these men, who were so ambitious just a few months ago, suddenly backed down whenever they encountered utopia.

Is utopia really that terrible?

Edward, who believed he had successfully escaped the clutches of utopia, didn't believe such a thing.

My childhood was always lived in the shadow of utopia, and I could never leave this country no matter what I did.

They finally arrived in a new area, eager to make their mark, but their companions all chickened out?

Edward felt he had to do something, so he took a deep look at Wei Yanwu's sister and then quickly left.

Wei Yanwu's sister wanted to speak, but couldn't say anything.

To be honest, she didn't have a strong feeling about utopia, after all, she had never been involved in political affairs.

However, she couldn't let Edward disrupt her brother's mind; there must be a reason why so many people didn't want to take a chance.

The scene shifts to Edward, Draco pulls two gold coins from his pocket and swaggers into Utopia Bank.

About half an hour later, he came out of the bank with a bank card in his hand bearing a pattern of wheat ears.

But he wasn't trying to save money; instead, he walked into the alley, found a puddle, and burned the card to ashes.

After burning the bank card, Edward swaggered into Utopia Bank, a smug smile on his face as he entered.

Chapter 401: Edward truly lives up to his reputation as the father of the silly dragon.

"Hey, get out here right now! I accidentally lost my bank card and need to get a replacement. Also, could you show me how much money is left in it?"

The Branch Manager looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled expression.

But out of professional ethics required by Master Huang, he still put on a smiling face.

She patiently guided the man through the re-issuance process. Normally, she could have left work after finishing with this client tonight.

But unexpectedly, when the card was replaced, the man pointed at the screen and shouted loudly:

"Why did I deposit 2000 gold coins, but now it's only two? You guys are ripping me off!"

The Branch Manager's heart skipped a beat. Good heavens, so they're here to cause trouble.

Master Huang's bank has been operating in Lungmen for decades. Its reputation in the city is entirely built on fighting. Countless thugs who came to cause trouble have been thrown into the city's incinerators.

"Mr. Edward, is that so?"

The Branch Manager tugged at his suit jacket, put his hands in his pockets, and pulled out two sharp knives.

"What, you know me?"

"You came to Lungmen a few years ago and made a great name for yourself in your very first month. How could I not know you, such a brave gentleman?"

"Since you know, why did you pull out those two knives? Did you swallow my money and then try to kill me and rob me? I don't think you have the ability."

Edward felt no fear; Draco's racial talents allowed him to handle most dangers.

For example, although he sensed a sense of danger from the man in front of him, the feeling was not strong.

It would probably be a 50/50 fight, since you know you're a pureblood Draco!

So this guy must be the face of this bank. Watch how I bring him down!

Edward was very confident, but he was still not ready to take action.

Seeing that the other party did not want to take direct action, the Branch Manager tried his best to maintain professional ethics and protect Master Huang's dignity.

The Branch Manager said, "According to my inspection, your deposit does indeed contain two 10-gram gold coins. If you don't believe me, I can check the system's change records. I still hope to have a very amicable evening with you, sir."

"2000 gold coins, give me back my money and I'll leave."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Edward, but you only have two gold coins in your bank account. However, I can offer you a low-interest loan. Would you like to consider it?"

The Branch Manager understood Edward's background; he was someone his lord had released for fun, and he had absolutely no use to him.

There are more than a dozen Draco within Utopia, but only one or two of them are related to Victoria and the throne.

Draco was originally under Aslan's control, but after the lion was beheaded, Draco's supervisory power shifted to the council.

While Edward did nominally have a right to inherit Victoria's throne, this claim was largely unfounded.

But sticking to her idea of raising kittens and lizards, Huang Cao didn't bother with the two mascots, since the Lower House was hers anyway.

Moreover, Huang Cao enjoys extremely high prestige among the people of Victoria. Both in substance and in spirit, Draco and Aslan have completely lost their jurisdiction over Victoria.

Therefore, the power that Edward supposedly possesses is less effective than the crabs raised by the bean sprouts.

"Further words are pointless. Since you refuse to return it to me, I will take action to get it back!"

Flames coalesced in Edward's palms, and his pupils radiated a terrifying majesty.

With things having come to this, the Branch Manager of Utopia Bank took a deep breath and made a final request:

"Sir, could we go outside and discuss this in detail? Even if you want to seize it by force, at least don't cause too much damage. Otherwise, if you succeed, you'll be the one who suffers, won't you?"

Edward thought the other person made sense, so he followed the Branch Manager outside.

What an idiot!

The Branch Manager of Utopia Bank cursed inwardly. As expected, he was Victoria's pet lizard, much more troublesome than Draco within Utopia itself.

Can't you just be a good pet to your lord? Why do you have to cause trouble?

So, the moment Edward stepped out of the bank, the Branch Manager threw out his twin swords and simultaneously kicked out.

The attack points formed an inverted triangular shape, completely covering Edward's chest area.

If all three attacks hit, Edward will be seriously injured, if not killed.

But as Draco, his experience traversing the wilderness allowed him to react instantly.

He quickly condensed flames into a protective shield, protecting his chest.

With a thud, the Branch Manager's three attacks hit almost simultaneously. The entire process, from launching the attack to its being blocked, took less than a second.

Edward was instantly blasted dozens of meters away, his hands drawing streaks of molten lava on the ground, while the protective shield on his chest was already on the verge of shattering.

I even felt a little nauseous and my head was spinning.

"Come on, let me see your strength!"

Red flames erupted from Edward's body, and a phantom of a fire dragon seemed to appear behind him.

The Branch Manager stood at the bank entrance, his two knives flashing back and forth, like an elegant chef with superb culinary skills examining delicious ingredients on a table.

"Before the fighting started, I was allowed to introduce myself. I belong to the 2nd Intelligence Group of the 7th Army of Utopia, and I served as the group leader forty years ago."

Having witnessed many of my country's military campaigns against Sargon and Gaul, though those are all in the past, I am now just an ordinary Branch Manager at a bank.

After saying this, the Sarkaz- like horns on the Branch Manager's head were gradually replaced by green branches, and his aura changed abruptly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Edward, but in order to preserve Utopia's reputation, I must punish you. If you are willing to cut off your horns, I can consider tonight's events a misunderstanding."

Until the very last moment before the battle began, the Branch Manager was still thinking about reconciliation.

Because he really doesn't like fighting, otherwise he wouldn't have worked in the infiltration department before.

However, this does not mean that the Branch Manager lacks combat skills. He has sixty years of combat experience; he is simply not good at head-on combat.

Unfortunately, Edward was completely unmoved and chose to respond with his own fiery Originium Arts.

"Further words are useless!" A fire dragon, tens of meters long, roared towards the Branch Manager, its temperature so high that it melted the floor below.

Unfortunately, Edward did not witness the beautiful scene of his enemy being burned to a crisp.

The Branch Manager faced the blazing fire dragon without fear. When the dragon was about a meter away, he suddenly swung his sword and instantly cleaved it in two.

Amidst the splitting flames, the Branch Manager saw the astonishment and surprise on Edward's face.

But none of this concerns him.

"Surprise is the death knell for a warrior, Mr. Edward..."

Before Edward could react, the voice reached his ears, and the Branch Manager had already appeared behind him.

In an instant, Edward realized what was happening, and flames erupted behind him, attempting to force the Branch Manager back with the intense heat.

Clearly, this Draco succeeded.

But the price he paid was dozens of brutal slashes to his back, his clothes instantly turning into strips of cloth and then to ashes in the flames.

If anyone were watching at that moment, they would have noticed that the Branch Manager had been playing a game of tic-tac-toe with only nine squares behind Edward's back in those few short seconds.

However, there is only one player, and the chessboard is Draco's flesh and blood.

"The hem of her clothes was slightly dirty."

Watching Draco retreat over a hundred meters, Manager Tang elegantly shoved the knife into his pocket and gently extinguished the small flame near his collar with his fingers.

Even though the other party was an enemy, Edward couldn't help but sigh at how incredibly elegant this guy was!

In just a few seconds, he found himself at a disadvantage, and suddenly a huge eye appeared on his back.

The current situation is very unfavorable to me!

The sound of roasting meat came from Edward's blood-soaked back; he had actually used flames to stop his bleeding!

"Let's continue, Mr. Branch Manager!"

"Why bother? It seems you need more help."

The Branch Manager completely gave up on trying to dissuade him, and then drew his knife again with both hands.

Then, he instantly transformed into a swift gust of wind, fiercely attacking the enemy, this time targeting the two horns on Draco's head.

Chapter 402: Wei Yanwu: I call this following my heart!

Edward was ultimately too young.

He might have a good chance of winning against fully armed Utopian soldiers, but he was facing battle -Abundance Warrior from Abundance.
