The moon hung high.

Under the moonlight, the forest remained pitch black.

Normally.

At this time of night, all sorts of nocturnal creatures would be scurrying about.

But due to the commotion Xi Shenlian had caused earlier.

Now.

The forest was utterly silent.

Even the ravenous beasts were playing dead, showing no signs of activity.

It made the entire forest seem as if it were silently undergoing inspection by the king of the jungle.

And under the moonlight.

Xi Shenlian walked leisurely.

At a speed of about five hundred kilometers per hour.

He couldn't help it.

Going too fast would easily cause a sonic boom.

For him, anything below twenty times the speed of sound was considered a slow walk. He had states for faster walking, jogging, and running.

Now.

He planned to walk all the way back to the city and find a hotel to check into.

Then.

Tomorrow, he would get himself a house.

Hmm...

He'd probably buy it in the Sakura District.

As one of the most developed areas in Tokyo.

Buying a nice house there would undoubtedly require ordinary people to work for decades.

But for Xi Shenlian, it wouldn't be much harder than buying a bottle of water.

As a side note, he also planned to enroll in a school there just to pass the time.

He had initially considered going to Qian Shan Xuehui's school, but it was an all-girls school.

So, he decided to find a school closer to her, making it convenient to visit her when he had free time...

His invincible life was now just about passing the time through enjoyment.

Suddenly.

His phone rang.

After glancing at the caller ID.

He answered the call.

Then.

The other party greeted him proactively:

"Lord Xi, the paperwork for the [Xilair Catering Group] is almost complete on our end. You can come sign tomorrow."

The speaker was the lawyer he had hired when he demolished the apartment building.

The so-called [Xilair Catering Group] was the company Xi Shenlian had casually bought earlier that day to book out the restaurant.

Oh.

No...

It was the Auxiliary AI that had bought the company in Xi Shenlian's name...

Regarding the details of that company.

Xi Shenlian hadn't paid any attention at all.

He had simply ordered the Auxiliary AI to resolve the issue.

Even the company's exact name?

Its geographical location?

Its approximate total market value?

He couldn't be bothered to ask.

The Auxiliary AI had handled everything itself.

Inquiring about the price, purchasing it, all done in one go.

The only thing Xi Shenlian had done was issue the command and understand the general process.

He also designated a lawyer, eager to impress, to handle all the paperwork.

This was precisely why Qian Shan Xuehui, despite being with Xi Shenlian at the time, had no idea he had taken the opportunity to purchase a large company.

To put it plainly.

Xi Shenlian hadn't bothered with any of it himself.

It was entirely handled by the Auxiliary AI, operating on full automation.

Not until now.

When he heard the lawyer on the other end of the line mention the name of the company.

Xi Shenlian finally learned what the company was called.

But Xi Shenlian didn't care about such trivialities. He asked somewhat lazily:

"Where do I need to sign?"

The lawyer happily replied:

"In Sakura District..."

Hearing that the address was quite a distance from Sakura District.

Xi Shenlian instantly lost interest.

"Sakura District?"

"Then never mind. Bring the documents to Sakura District tomorrow and find me."

Upon hearing this, the lawyer on the other end of the line immediately sounded hesitant:

"Huh?"

"But there are many procedures to handle for this kind of thing, and it requires many people from the other party to be present simultaneously..."

"It's fine, then bring all those people over..."

Half a minute later.

Tokyo City - Sakura District.

Inside a building over two hundred meters tall.

All the employees were busily working on various tasks.

This was because the entire company had been suddenly bought out.

As a result, all staff were being forced to work overtime to handle matters.

At the top of the building.

In a certain office, a large group of middle-aged and elderly people were also busy signing and organizing various documents.

They were the company's shareholders and top executives, plus a bunch of lawyers and various professionals.

Because it was a large company with so many things to deal with, they had been working since morning and still hadn't finished.

Various checks, signatures...

It was all very troublesome!

At this moment.

The company's original owner, a man around fifty years old, felt both happy and disappointed.

Happy that his company had sold for a price 100% above market value.

Disappointed that the company his elders and he himself had painstakingly managed for three generations was being handed over on his watch.

In short.

His feelings were very complicated!

Difficult to articulate.

Then, he saw the lawyer, with a somewhat strange expression, walk in from outside the door.

Although he disdained the lawyer's relatively unknown status, he remembered that this person was the contact designated by the buyer. So, he proactively said:

"Lawyer Dongcheng, when will Lord Xi be coming to sign?"

In response.

The other shareholders also seemed quite concerned.

Because it directly affected when everyone could get their money.

So, everyone was in a hurry!

But the lawyer looked troubled and said:

"...Lord Xi said he's temporarily unavailable right now and asked you to bring all the documents to Sakura District to find him tomorrow."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The middle-aged man, the former boss, immediately flew into a rage and slammed his hand hard on the table in front of him.

The beautiful secretary beside him was also furious, and as soon as she spoke, she began to reprimand him:

"This is too rude!!"

"He's too busy to see us, so we, dozens of shareholders here, have to go find him?"

"Aren't the valuable time of all you shareholders also precious?"

These words made the middle-aged man feel quite satisfied.

She had said everything he wanted to say.

So.

He immediately wanted to express his agreement.

The major shareholders, eager to get their money, were all wearing furious expressions.

They seemed quite united against an outsider.

But the lawyer's next words negated everything.

"Lord Xi said to increase the price by 20%, and consider it your travel expenses."

Slap!!

This was the sound of a slap.

The middle-aged man slapped the secretary across the face, making her stagger.

"Did I ask you to speak?"

"What is Lord Xi's status?"

"I have long revered him!"

"It is my honor to be able to proactively seek an audience with him!"

Even the major shareholders, who had been so impatient just moments ago, were no longer in a hurry.

They all began to collectively criticize the secretary verbally.

"Well said!"

"What is Lord Xi's status? Isn't it good for us to proactively go and meet him?"

"Bitch, with so many people here, where do you get off giving your opinion?"

Unlike in terms of individual strength, where he was strong but still not invincible.

Xi Shenlian's wealth had long been unparalleled in the world, crushing everyone with one hand.

In the face of his invincible 'add money' ultimate technique.

Everyone appeared to be genuinely impressed and convinced!!
