Xie Feng said, "You've already lent me 500 million. 500 million and 50 billion are only one word apart. You shouldn't care about that difference, right? It's not like I'm not going to pay it back! Don't you think so?"
No way!
Xiao Tianzi was startled. He quickly waved his hand, "Five hundred million and five hundred billion! That's a huge difference!"
He felt like vomiting blood...
Only now did he realize that Xie Feng had been deliberately trying to trick him!
Fifty million, one hundred million, five hundred million, five hundred billion... Good heavens, one thing leads to another, they're getting more and more outrageous!
Thankfully, he regained consciousness!
If he had been in a daze any longer, the entire Floating World Bank might have ended up in the Xie family's possession!
This is a very sophisticated scheme...
Seeing his panicked expression, Xie Feng chuckled. It seemed this guy wasn't stupid after all; he hadn't fallen for his trap. He said, "What are you afraid of? I'll give you your money back!"
"This isn't about money!" The Xiao Tianzi's eyes darted around, then he suddenly sighed heavily, "Alas!!"
"Actually, I have my reasons for doing this! A few days ago, a friend borrowed 600 billion from me, and he's refusing to pay it back! 600 billion! Even though money lenders are wealthy and powerful, it takes them a long time to earn that much! And you just came in asking for 800 billion—that's outrageous!"
Xie Feng stared at him. "The truth?"
Xiao Tianzi hurriedly replied, "Absolutely true!"
He swore it was absolutely true, a lie that couldn't be more true!
He didn't want to lend money to Xie Feng; he just wanted him to leave the money exchange as soon as possible!
Xie Feng said, "I'll offer something as collateral!"
Xiao Tianzi sighed, looking very troubled, and said, "Alas! Young Master Xie, to be honest, the money house is also in a difficult situation right now! Everyone says we are the number one money house in the world, rolling in money, but our business is huge, and our expenses are huge too! Maintaining such enormous expenses every day means the cost exceeds the return, and we really can't give out so much money anymore!"
Xie Feng listened calmly to his complaints, though he knew they were likely just a ploy to gain sympathy and he wouldn't believe them.
He didn't want to go in circles like this; it was too tiring!
Xie Feng stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for Boss Xiao. Farewell!"
After saying that, he left.
Xiao Tianzi watched his retreating figure, he called out loudly, "Well, Young Master Xie, you don't need to repay the money! Consider this 600 million as a congratulatory gift from Floating World Bank to the Pill Maple Academy!"
Naturally, there was no response.
call...
He breathed a huge sigh of relief after Xie Feng left.
"Oh my god, finally got rid of that guy! I knew he wasn't a good person the moment I saw him!"
"You're involved with the clan leader? Bah! Little White! You're so young and you've already hooked up with a super-rich woman. Where's your ambition? Where's your manly dignity? Where's the clan leader's contact information? Do you dare to say it? Huh? Do you dare?!"
The Xiao Tianzi said indignantly, the more he spoke, the more off it sounded...
Ahhh!
If he were decades younger, he would also want to marry a rich woman...
Managing the vast Floating World Bank, including its various branches and customers all over the world, and dealing with all sorts of troubles every day, he was truly exhausted...
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gray striped long gown walked in from outside. He had a thin face, gray eyebrows and beard, and was the manager of the money shop.
"Boss, I overheard your conversation. This Xie Feng has a very good relationship with the clan leader. Why not give him the money for the clan leader's sake? It's only 800 billion; our bank isn't short of that!"
He found it very strange.
Xiao Tianzi rolled his eyes. "What do you know! If we give him money, we'll be entangled in karma with him!"
The steward asked, puzzled, "So what if it gets on you?"
"Haven't you heard of this person? A young man who rose to prominence unexpectedly, with a mysterious background. As soon as he appeared in the world, he helped the Dust Clan rise to power, defeated a group of geniuses, and ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking!"
"Soon after, in the battle between the Ghost Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the Blaze Clan and Flame Island, he helped Flame Island turn the tide and achieve victory!"
"And what about the three clans? The Ghost Emperor has fallen, Gu Tao has fallen! Yan Ming was terrified! Now, this Xie Feng even possesses the clan leader's personal insignia! Speaking of which, I seem to recall the rumors in the martial arts world that this Xie Feng is also related to the Devil Emperor Chu Kuang!"
"A man like that is a jinx! He brings war wherever he goes! Besides, his background means he's destined to be restless! In short, we can't let him get involved with the money exchange! Only by staying far away from him can we keep our peaceful lives from being disrupted!"
Xiao Tianzi's face darkened, and he issued a stern warning.
The steward scoffed, "So what if he's the Devil Emperor? Even you fear him like a tiger! Boss, don't forget, our backing is even stronger! The reputation of the number one money house in the world isn't just for show; we have extensive connections! If the owner were still here..."
"Alright! Stop nagging! I'm warning you, don't cause trouble for Xie Feng! Let's keep our distance and avoid conflict! Understand?!"
The Xiao Tianzi suddenly flew into a rage.
The manager was somewhat resentful, but he didn't dare to offend the boss at this moment, so he simply said, "Understood..."
Xiao Tianzi said, "By the way, is there an important banquet tomorrow? Let's make preparations and head over early!"
The manager nodded. "Alright!"
Early in the morning, Shui Yunjun arrived at the Pill Maple Academy. The clan leader's presence made Han Yu and the others extremely nervous. They put down their lecture notes and rushed out to greet him.
"Where's Xiao Xie?" Shui Yunjun asked.
"Little... Xiao Xie? May I ask, Clan Chief, are you referring to our Dean, Xie Feng?"
"Otherwise what? Is there another person with the surname Xie in the academy?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
Han Yu stared wide-eyed and even blinked.
He was shocked!
He himself came from the Literary Clan, so he naturally understood how Supreme Shui Yunjun was. As the ruler of the number one clan in the Dao Realm, she not only condescended to come to the academy, but also became so close to the dean!
He called her Xiao Xie!
That's an incredibly close relationship!
He originally thought that it was already quite impressive that the Dean had gotten to know Ge Kuangwo, the Lord of Flame Island, and Lu Yan, the Lü Yan of the Cloud Clan. Now, Shui Yunjun has come directly!
The dean is awesome!
With this patriarch of the Literary Clan as their backer, who in the entire Dao Realm would dare to provoke Pill Maple Academy?!
Han Yu was immediately excited.
Grandmaster Mo, Grandmaster Ming, and Grandmaster Zhang were also excited.
They stared at Shui Yunjun, who was dressed in a white fox fur coat and exuded a noble and aloof air, nervously rubbing their hands and chuckling incessantly.
Shui Yunjun frowned. "What are you all laughing about? Where's Xiao Xie? I need to talk to him!"
" Shui Yunjun, you were looking for me?"
At this moment, Xie Feng stepped into the courtyard and said calmly.
Shui Yunjun?
Han Yu and the other three gasped inwardly.
Is the dean really that brave?
Call him by his first name!
No need for honorifics!
The clan chief is several hundred years old, while the dean is a young man not even thirty. To address him by his first name like that is truly impressive!
But...
They glanced at Shui Yunjun, who showed no displeasure whatsoever! In fact, he seemed quite used to it!
