My Money!
Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Xu Jiawei's life has been very ideal lately.
Not long ago, all of the Star Luo Empire's tax revenue from the previous quarter was put into the Star Luo Treasury. Leaving aside the rare and precious materials presented from various places, there were hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coin alone.
Furthermore, with the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament to be held in Star Luo City, it seems the entire empire is on the rise.
"With this money, the empire's overall strength can reach a new level." Xu Jiawei leaned back on his throne, fantasizing that under his leadership, the Star Luo Empire would eventually stand at the pinnacle of the continent.
Just imagining that scene made the Star Luo Emperor incredibly excited.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Xu Jiawei even spontaneously spread his hands, exclaiming from the bottom of his heart, "That vibrant scene of life, where everything flourishes, is still vivid in my mind!"
"Brother, something terrible has happened!"
Just as Xu Jiawei was envisioning the future, a hurried voice suddenly appeared, shattering his fantasy.
Xu Jiawei was somewhat displeased at being disturbed, but when he saw that the person who came was his most beloved younger sister, a doting smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Jiujiu, you are a princess of the empire, how can you act so flustered? You must maintain royal etiquette."
"Yes, Jiujiu Majesty, I know." The person who came was none other than Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire, who was also Xu Jiawei's most beloved younger sister.
Xu Jiujiu was panting heavily, her full chest heaving, and her pretty face still showed a trace of lingering panic and anger.
"Brother, something has happened at the Star Luo Treasury!"
Star Luo Treasury?
"What happened?" Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei, who had been calm, suddenly showed a hint of panic in his eyes and asked hurriedly.
The Star Luo Treasury is the foundation of the entire empire; absolutely no mistakes can be made!
"The treasure vault... the treasure vault has been robbed!"
"What did you say!" Xu Jiawei jumped up from his seat, his voice rising several decibels.
Seeing Xu Jiujiu's grief-stricken expression, Xu Jiawei even began to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.
Very few people know the location of the Star Luo Treasury, and even its guards are at least Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level, in addition to the Titled Douluo powerhouses who are stationed there.
The treasure vault has been robbed... How is that possible!
"Quick, let's go take a look!" Xu Jiawei didn't care about the so-called royal etiquette at this moment. He grabbed Xu Jiujiu and flew towards the Star Luo Treasury.
With their Titled Douluo cultivation, the two arrived at the location of the Star Luo Treasury in just a few breaths.
By this time, a number of people had gathered here, and upon seeing Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu, they quickly bowed in greeting.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Princess."
"Rise."
Xu Jiawei's face was extremely gloomy at this moment, but looking at the Titled Douluo elders around him, he still managed to force a smile, "What exactly is going on?"
"I am ashamed..."
Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, walked out with a guilty look on his face, and then carefully explained the whole story.
That morning, Huang Jinxu, who was ordered to Star Luo Treasury, quickly appeared after hearing the guards' exclamations. Seeing the two mysterious people who suddenly appeared, before he could even complete his Martial Soul Possession, he was knocked unconscious by one of them with a punch.
When they woke up again, the Star Luo Treasury had been completely looted.
After hearing Huang Jinxu's explanation, not only Xu Jiawei, but also the other Titled Douluo- level elders around them couldn't help but show solemn expressions.
Although Huang Jinxu's Martial Soul is rather special, his strength is beyond doubt. With a cultivation level of 94, his combat power can even be compared to a level 95 Super Douluo.
So he was just knocked unconscious by a delicate elbow strike?
At least in the current Star Luo Empire, no one can achieve this level of accomplishment.
If everyone didn't know Huang Jinxu's character, they would have suspected that the old man was embezzling from his own post.
"Phew... It's good that Elder Huang is alright. It's just a little bit of money." Xu Jiawei forced a smile, but his heart was bleeding.
"Please follow me inside, everyone, and see if we can find any clues." Xu Jiawei took a deep breath and led the way into the Star Luo Treasury.
Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu and the other worshippers around him quickly followed suit.
When Xu Jiawei stepped into the Star Luo Treasury, he was greeted by an empty room. Even the floorboards and the door to the room where the valuables were stored had been removed...
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"This is all my money! My money!!!"
This scene made Xu Jiawei lose his composure and break down on the spot.
His bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing startled even Princess Xu Jiujiu, his most favored daughter.
Who on earth could be so vicious?!
Gold Soul Coin and rare treasures are one thing, but why were the floorboards and doors also taken away?
The worshippers exchanged glances, each able to see the suspicion in the other's eyes.
Compared to the mountains of Gold Soul Coin, the rare and precious materials and Soul Bone were the most important things in the Star Luo Empire.
Besides that, the most important thing is the treasure that the empire acquired unexpectedly; just auctioning it would be enough to earn hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coin.
"Villain, traitor, villain!"
"My Star Luo Empire is irreconcilably opposed to you!" Xu Jiawei roared to the sky, his gaze then falling on the distant wall.
The Body Sect has been here.
After a brief outburst of rage, Xu Jiawei regained his composure, looked at the words left on the wall, and then fell into deep thought.
No fool would do such a thing; it's clearly someone else's doing, trying to provoke conflict between the Star Luo Empire and the Body Sect.
But that's no longer important. The fact that someone could knock Huang Jinxu unconscious with a single punch shows just how terrifying their cultivation level is.
In the entire Douluo Continent, it is estimated that only Shrek Academy and Body Sect have this kind of strength.
Xu Jiawei couldn't afford to offend either of these two behemoths... but the Star Luo Empire would never swallow this bitter pill.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Jiawei finally came up with a good idea.
Since I've been robbed, I'll rob someone else in return!
In short, if I'm not having a good time, no one else should either.
I can't afford to offend Shrek Academy and the Body Sect, but surely I can afford to offend other smaller forces?
With the grand competition approaching, the Star Luo Empire is in dire need of money; it's too late to start earning more now.
Besides, there's no faster way to make money than by robbery...
"Jiujiu, when you get back, prepare some hoods. Finally, call on Senior Heavenly Fiend and Senior Sui Xing. Under no circumstances should anyone else discover you." On the way back to the palace, Xu Jiawei whispered to Jiujiu.
Head... headgear?
What does Your Majesty need this for?
Xu Jiujiu's expression froze for Xu Jiujiu. Although she was puzzled, she still obediently nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Watching the figure recede into the Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei's gaze gradually deepened.
Xu Jiawei naturally understood the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
