him in this world let us not forget that
it is a realm filled with gods and
demons and there exists the underworld
numerous Adept cultivators capable of
Shifting mountains and filling Seas with
a mere utterance were commonplace if all
these inpcs and wild monsters were to
appear in reality ly Fang's current
strength would be utterly feudal saigh
only Under Pressure does one find
motivation it has been quite some time
since he last leveled up he muttered
under his breath boarded the devouring
moth and flew to the lordes Manor in
ningu Lord ning hurridly welcomed him
Lord Shong you have finally arrived if
you had delayed any longer you might
have been branded as a fugitive
absconding with funds Lyn fo aware that
he had delayed for several days
awkwardly replied fugitive seems a bit
excessive excessive that amounts to a
staggering 600 billion it's bound and it
w he cost anything anyway do not worry I
have returned Haven
now tell me how we shall compensate the
soldiers rest assured my Lord we have
long been prepared his majesty has
issued orders the Lords of our three
cities will cooperate fully here is the
list of compensations as he spoke he
handed over a document densely filled
with names in ningu we suffered a total
of 200,000 casualties according to the
regulations I have already drafted a
Compensation Plan for Your review. as he
spoke he presented another document
clearly outlining the compensation
procedures ly phone glanced over it and
was taken aback every official from
local to high ranking had been bribed
originally the emperor intended to
compensate each soldier with 100,000
gold coins however it turned out that
only 10,000 gold coins would actually
reach the soldiers ly Fong astonished
exclaimed am I the swindler or are you
the swindler he my Lord one cannot put
it that way we are all corrupt officials
how can a swindler compare to to a
corrupt official what on Earth why does
he seem so proud of this ly Fong
chuckled dry Oh indeed insatiable greed
9/10 of The Emperor's gold has fallen
into the hands of these corrupt
officials point one cannot say that only
by enriching ourselves can we assist his
majesty in his tasks moreover of this
600 billion 60 billion is for the
families of the deceased soldiers 100
billion is for the fellow City Lords and
officers and 200 billion is for the
higher-ups the remaining 240 billion is
all yours isnt that Splendid lordings
gaze was suggestive constantly hinting
after a prolonged silence the system
finally reacted ding Mission updated
agree to lordings proposal to compensate
the fallen soldiers in this manner the
mission will automatically proceed to
the next phase corrupt officials
disagree with lordings proposal and
compensate the fallen soldiers in your
own way mission pathway unknown the
system provided two choices yet it was
unclear the rewards might be ly Fong
detested such ambiguous tasks lording
what if I do not agree Lord Shong what
do you mean why would you not agree we
could receive so much lording appeared
utterly perplexed 240 billion if Shan
tzi were not a favored individual of the
Court who would agree he could hardly
believe that lyong might refuse does
Lord Shong desire 300 billion that would
be quite greedy he misunderstood the
situation Lyn Fong shook his head I am a
swin akin to Hein but I am not a
treacherous Minister huh what difference
does that make besides who is hean you
need not concern yourself with that I
must be able to face my conscience oh my
Heavens how much is a conscience worth
it pales in comparison to a chicken leg
meal across the street Lord ning shook
his head helplessly if one cannot face
their conscience they cannot stand
before his majesty either the phrase
corrupt officials hinted at the next
task and Lyn Fong surmised that
