Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At that ti, Luo Yang was only asked by the Deceiver to provide information about Ji Chen. In his eyes, it was rely providing information about Zhao Liangchen, with no knowledge of the fact that Zhao Liangchen was, in fact, Ji Chen.
So, the shock at the significant difference in Ji Chen before and after was understandable.
As they watched Ji Chen and Luo Yang sign the master-servant contract right before their eyes, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair felt a complex mix of emotions.
How should 1 put it?
As fellow players, how did Zhao Liangchen manage to accumulate both imnse wealth and legendary power in just a few short months?
If there was only envy and a bit of jealousy before, now it was becoming a sense of unease.
But looking at Zhao Liangchen, who sat there exuding an imposing aura like a mountain, no matter how uneasy they felt, they could only endure it.
Ji Chen looked at Luo Yang, who had already signed the contract, with a stern expression.
“Address as Mr. Zhao in public, and do not reveal what happened today.
In addition, all your businesses in Maple City and Maple Harbor will be transferred into my na, but you will still manage them. However, when necessary, you will need to do things for .
Do you understand?”
Luo Yang’s face showed so bitterness, but he nodded quickly.
He had no bargaining power at all.
“By the way, how many properties do you have under your control, anddo they have any connections with the Deceiver?”
After organizing his thoughts, Luo Yang explained in detail, “Aside from the Cat Tail Tavern, there are four other shops in Black Gold District, covering various industries.
Outside of the Black Gold District, there’s also a sizable three-story shop in a pri location in the bustling area south of the city, currently temporarily unused.
In Maple Harbor, not long ago, 1 obtained a two-year lease for an independent dock with three berths, and there’s no berthing fee.
As for my connections with the Deceiver, since the Maple Principality has been closely monitoring them, for the safety and secrecy of these properties, they’ve transferred them to my na through various covert ans. It can be said that, legally and on the surface, they all belong to us.”
Listening to these words, Ji Chen’s eyes sparkled increasingly.
He hadn’t expected that Luo Yang still had so many properties under his control. Not to ntion the few in the Black Gold District, just the shop in the bustling area south of the city was worth a fortune, the kind of wealth that couldn’t be acquired even with money.
It seed that Luo Yang also had quite exceptional business acun. Otherwise, despite the Deceiver’s wealth, they wouldn’t have entrusted such properties to a player who had only joined a few months ago.
In this way, Luo Yang seed to benefit from the circumstances without putting in much effort, catching several valuable targets.
After thinking for a mont, Ji Chen added, “In that case, there’s no need to transfer these properties under your na. Let’s not attract attention from outsiders.”
“Bear in mind that 1 am the wealthy Mr. Zhao in public, and you are still the owner of the Cat Tail Tavern. Our relationship is that of business partners.”
Luo Yang, being a forr CEO, quickly grasped the intention behind this.
This was a strategy to avoid personal exposure, to manipulate things from behind the scenes, and to act under two or even multiple identities.
It was a trick commonly used by the magnates on earth, and he was very familiar with it.
He promptly responded, “As you wish.”
Watching Ji Chen and Luo Yang discussing various matters on the side, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair were initially curious and eavesdropping with their ears perked up. However, as they continued to listen, they began to feel sothing was amiss.
Their faces gradually revealed unease and discomfort.
Wait a minute, you’re discussing such secretive matters as if you’re plotting so conspiracy, and we, unrelated bystanders, are present.
Can’t you wait until we leave?
Gradually, their unease turned into fear, and their legs felt like they were about to give way.
This open and legitimate appearance of conspiring, does it an they’re going to silence us afterward?
Thinking back to what happened earlier…
Sure enough, Ji Chen soon shifted his gaze onto them.
A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The two Monkey Gifts exchanged glances and imdiately knelt down, shouting loudly, “Mr. Zhao, we want to work for you! Please accept us!!!”
Ji Chen’s eye twitched slightly.
Alright, he must have misunderstood them earlier. Monkeys would always end up acting like one.
But, they were showing so decency now.
After a mont of thought, he said slowly, “From now on, you’ll work with Luo Yang. Don’t disappoint .”
“Today, what you’ve seen and heard, I shouldn’t need to say much about what you should do. Rember to keep your mouths shut, or there won’t be a place for you here.”
“Understood, we understand!”
They quickly responded.
Ji Chen nodded and waved his hand to dismiss them.
After being escorted to the gate by several burly and fierce Naga Berserkers, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair stood in the wind feeling sowhat disoriented.
Suddenly, Monkey Gift Hair said sowhat dejectedly, “Big brother, have we beco soone else’s lackeys? This seems quite different from the ambitious goals we set before.”
Monkey Gift wore a frustrated expression. “Does being a lackey an we can’t achieve great things? I may not like the idea of being a lackey, but it also depends on whose lackey you’re becoming.
Didn’t you see how Mr.. Zhao could send soldiers from the Maple Principality to capture us and Uncle Luo? With this much wealth, power, and influence, how many people would kill for the chance to be under his protection?”
