A horse needed night fodder to grow strong; a man needed a windfall to grow rich.

The Sage had spoken true!

Hanfu happily tucked the Sealing Scroll in his hand into his robes.

Konan had left him this scroll when she departed. Inside were 500,000 Explosive Tags.

Hanfu did the math. One hundred billion minus 500,000 meant Konan still owed him... 99,999,500,000 Explosive Tags.

"I'll handle the mission report. Everyone
