Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 109 Make Good Use of the Star God's Intimidating Power

Xing thought for a moment, then silently ran to the side, moved a chair for Lan, and then ran to a nearby teahouse to get a tea set. After brewing the tea, she very obsequiously handed it to the silent Lan.

Lan: ...

Is this Yun Zhiyang's brat? Is it really necessary?

Despite being quite bold, she still did these things, leaving Lan speechless with frustration.

But the chairs, tables, and tea were all prepared, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to sit down.

Lan sat down, picked up her teacup, and looked calmly at Yunzhi in front of her.

Hmm, it feels like watching a show.

Yun Zhi, still smiling warmly, asked, "What's wrong, Su Chang? Tell me about it."

The company representative scoffed and spoke first: "What else could have happened? I just came to send a package, and this young lady insisted on accusing me of deliberately damaging the goods, and she almost smashed my vase!"

"You must apologize to me today, or this isn't over!"

Yun Zhi clasped his hands together: "Oh dear, what a coincidence! I thought about it over and over again yesterday, and I still think it's better to pay back the money first. As for your goods—hey, little secretary over there."

He turned to look at his secretary, Mingxi, who was standing to the side:

"Since you insist that the damage to the goods has nothing to do with you, then we'll first check this worker, check the records of Heyun Logistics, and also this person's income and expenditure statement."

Mingxi blinked, nodded, and told someone to do it.

Yun Zhi turned his face, his expression particularly sinister: "Luofu has gone too far lately. All sorts of monsters and demons are popping up to make their presence known. Putting aside the Fengrao people, at least those who betray their own people should be severely punished."

"Young fox-man, you'd better get ready."

Yun Zhixiao was polite, but she always gave off a chilling feeling.

The company representative was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back, trembling and unable to speak.

The fox-man youth almost knelt down.

It seems that only the thick-skinned Su Chang didn't notice.

Lan smiled.

If it were him, he would definitely make the company experience another meteor shower.

The secretary was very fast.

When she returned, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Lan drank her tea calmly, without revealing even the slightest murderous intent.

"Sir, I'm back."

The secretary, slightly out of breath, said, "Here are the records you requested."

Yunzhi took it and glanced at it quickly.

Then, he turned around and handed it to Lan.

Xing followed behind Lan and glanced at it, then covered her eyes, almost unable to bear the sight.

Then he put his hand down and poured Lan a cup of tea to calm her down.

After a while, Lan also put down the paper.

He slowly opened his mouth:

"I don't understand. Has the Immortal Boat Alliance been so harsh on the people in recent years? Why are there always outsiders helping out?"

Yunzhi took the record: "The sender's name and contact information on the express box were deliberately crossed out, but the record from Heyun Logistics is very clear. The sender is worker Afeng... It's you, right?"

Yunzhi looked at the timid worker.

Ah Feng's legs were trembling: "Yes, it was me, that's right."

"And this... a large amount of credits being deposited into your account by an employee of some company, that looks... kind of tempting."

Yunzhi held up the papers and leaned close to him: "You have a good relationship with the people in the company, so good that they're willing to give you money."

"This, this is just money I borrowed from a friend!" Afeng tried to explain.

Yunzhi is now a little averse to the word "friend"—Huanlong also mentioned having friends in Luofu when he came up.

Luofu is a place where hidden talents abound. You're friends with the Great Lord of Annihilation, you're friends with someone from a company with ill intentions, you're friends with the people of Abundance—what? Who else are you friends with?

Yunzhi didn't bother arguing with him much:

"I'm also a bit curious about who's on the other end. Perfect, I know a few people at work, why don't we ask them to check? Your friend is really something, transferring you money just so you'd send him a dangerous item?"

Yun Zhixiao became increasingly arrogant.

He does know people at the company, but he's not really close to any of them. There is one young man who is relatively close to him and tries to help him every time they meet, but it's obvious that he can't help him.

They have plenty of money and manpower, they lack nothing, so that child really can't help much.

However, since Lan "accidentally" destroyed the company's headquarters yesterday, it's probably not appropriate to contact them.

These people never clean up their messes; if we find the records, we can easily expose them.

It doesn't mean anything.

Seeing that he couldn't deny it any longer, Ah Feng simply stopped pretending.

"That's right, it was me! The company is afraid the docks will pay off their debts, so they want me to do some underhanded things, but so what?"

This guy just gave up entirely: "What's wrong with giving Jinren Lane to the company? You old-fashioned fools, don't stop us from making money!"

Yunzhi's blood pressure exploded on the spot: "Give Jinren Lane to the company? Give the company Xianzhou's territory? How can you say such a thing? If you want to make money, go to the company yourself. Is that blocking your way? Huh? You're worried about the dock paying off its debts? Fine, I'll pay them off right now!"

As he spoke, Yunzhi took out a card from his pocket and tossed it in front of the company employee: "Here, swipe it."

The company's sales representatives did not move.

Scott, an employee of the company, admitted that he was a little confused after all this back and forth.

Not only him, but everyone present was a little stunned.

Su Chang blinked: "The Chamber of Commerce has already prepared the money..."

"How long will it take for these foreign talents to make you enough money? What use are you then?" Yun Zhi, with her fiery temper, launched an indiscriminate attack: "If it weren't for my dissatisfaction with the company, I wouldn't care whether you live or die!"

What kind of nonsense is this? Jinren Lane is located in Changle Tian Cave, and they can still pull off these kinds of things right under the general's nose.

Managing hundreds of billions of people is still difficult, right? Why don't we consider finding more people to help him?

Su Chang: ...I was yelled at, but for some reason I didn't dare to speak.

Scott's face was filled with exaggerated shock: "Look, even you say the Golden Man Alley Merchant Guild is useless, so why do you even care about them?"

"The company specifically leased the operating rights to the Chamber of Commerce in the hopes of mutual development, but look at this, the Chamber of Commerce refuses to cooperate with the major shops in Jinren Lane, and the once bustling wharf has become deserted! Doesn't this prove the Chamber of Commerce's incompetence?"

Yun's anger flared even more: "You have no right to call me incompetent! Who do you think you are? What, the reconstruction of Pierpoint is complete? And now you dare to come out and shout like that?"

Scott, intimidated by Yun Zhi's imposing aura, retreated repeatedly: "The company... the company headquarters? Hey, didn't the Alliance say this had nothing to do with them?"

It seems they already know about the destruction of headquarters.

So?

"That's right, it has nothing to do with the alliance. Lan can go wherever he wants. When he was dealing with a planet inhabited by some bountiful monster, the company headquarters blocked his way. He brought it on himself."

Yun Zhi spoke even more eloquently: "As for you, I can pay the rent, it's normal to pay back debts, but shouldn't you also explain that you bribed the dockworkers to damage the goods? This is an unfair business practice, and I will have Tianbo Company investigate this matter."

"You!!! Hey, this is a matter between us and the Chamber of Commerce, where did you come from?"

Scott was furious: "I'm a sales representative for the company! Where is your chamber of commerce? You're going to talk to this complete stranger? Where's the president of Golden Lane? Isn't he going to show up?"

wow-

A sharp cracking sound suddenly came from behind.

Xing was startled and turned around to see—it was Lan who had smashed the cup on the ground.

The young man stood up, his cloak billowing behind him, exuding a fierce and imposing aura.

"So far, nothing in the Immortal Ship Alliance's affairs has been unrelated to us!"

Lan's voice was deep, and a bluish-green flame flashed in her golden eyes.

At the same time, the enormous true form of the [Hunter] appeared behind Him, and although it wore a mask, no one dared to look directly at it.

Those around him glanced at him and immediately knelt down, shouting "Emperor Bow Master".

Even the person from the company was no exception.

Of course, he couldn't shout "Emperor Bow Master" like others, but he also knew fear.

"The rent has been paid. You can get out now."

"Please wait a moment, General."

Yunzhi called out to him, "Have you forgotten something?"

Lan glanced at him and nodded: "The bet."

Isn't it said that if the Chamber of Commerce can repay the money, it should apologize and bark like a dog?

Stop pretending and get to work.

The company employee was so frightened that he was completely flustered. He stammered, "I... I'm sorry to Jinren Lane. I want to apologize to the people of Jinren Lane... I'm a blind, arrogant fool who only knows how to bark and howl."

He stopped talking.

Yunzhi wasn't going to let him off the hook: "Anything else?"

Don't forget there's also an important point.

The company representative gritted his teeth and suddenly spoke:

"Woof woof woof woof woof—woof woof howl..."

Su Chang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although the people around him were kneeling, judging from their trembling shoulders and soft voices, they were also laughing.

Yun Zhi also smiled.

Lan closed her eyes and withdrew her imposing aura.

With a flourish, he tossed his cloak aside, turned around, and said, "I'm leaving."

"Yes, General."

Yun thought for a moment, then turned back to look at the company representative:

"Kid, I never deny the existence of debt, and debts should be repaid. If you're just thinking about collecting debts, I don't want to say anything more."

"But you shouldn't have dragged Emperor Bow Master down with you."

"So what if he did it? Are you going to chase him for the debt? I believe Pier Point doesn't want to rebuild again."

"If you're feeling uncomfortable, go find [Storage Protection] to back you up. We're not stopping you!"

After saying these words, Yun Zhi finally felt refreshed.

But there's one last sentence.

"Oh, Lan has already apologized to Mr. Cripper, and he has forgiven her. So please be sensible and don't cause any more trouble."
