The Amazing Mr. Dou!
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands! Little San! We're going to be rich!"
In the dim room, Great Master Yu and Tang San brought out piles of Gold Soul Coins and counted them separately. In the end, Great Master Yu added up the total and concluded that the two of them were about to get rich.
"I've never seen so many Gold Soul Coins laid out before us in my entire life! And there'll be even more Gold Soul Coins coming later!"
"No, Teacher, you have. When Shen He bought Shrek Academy before, he spent this many Gold Soul Coins. You were there too."
"That was paid for by card! These are the real deal!"
Great Master Yu shot a glare at his disciple Tang San, whose words had rather ruined the mood, then picked up another Gold Soul Coin and bit into it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this texture, this feeling—it's absolutely marvelous!"
Seeing his teacher's perverse expression, Tang San couldn't help swallowing and reaching out to touch the Gold Soul Coins.
"Teacher, is that friend of yours reliable?"
"Of course he is. Otherwise, why would he bother deceiving us? He's a noble of the Star Luo Empire! Don't forget, we only made it through our most difficult days thanks to him!"
"That's true."
Recalling how he and Great Master Yu had spent the previous month hiding everywhere, even having to fight dogs for food, Tang San shook his head and tossed those thoughts aside.
The reason he and Great Master Yu had been able to return in such a glorious fashion was entirely thanks to Mr. Dou, the noble of the Star Luo Empire who had supported them when they were at their most desperate, given them a goal, and provided for their daily needs.
