Claiming the Prize, Out of Money

Shocking!

All of Jiang City is ecstatic!

With the announcement of the competition results, the public perception of Su Muwan has completely reversed!

"Shift!"

"Su Muwan dragged our city to the bottom! I'm turning against her!!"

"Hehe, those above, if you're bad, practice more. Why don't you produce a Su Muwan yourselves?"

"Exactly!"

"Anyone who dares to speak ill of Miss Su again, don't blame us Jiang City folks for being unfriendly!"

"That's right! If anyone dares to badmouth Miss Su, I wouldn't mind destroying the world!"

"Destroy the world +1"

"Destroy the world +2"

"Eh, I just realized, it seems like the individual rankings and city rankings changed in the last second."

"Right, I guess there were still a lot of people who weren't eliminated."

At the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance.

In the R&D department.

Li Mingyuan's face darkened as he looked at the data collection on the screen.

The main purpose of this competition was actually to collect a series of combat data to improve the experiments in the R&D department.

But...

[Data Corrupted]

"Su Muwan..."

Li Mingyuan took a deep breath, his eyes dark.

The data corruption must be due to Su Muwan's overbearing ice qi, which destroyed all the instruments.

Damn...

All the precious experimental data is gone!

Nearby.

A little boy licking a lollipop rode over on a mini spaceship.

He glanced at the damaged experimental data, shrugging, "What’s the plan now, Uncle Li? When are we going to meet this Su Muwan?"

"Not yet."

Li Mingyuan inhaled deeply, lightly tapping the table. In the next moment, images of Qin Luo, Su Bailian, Boqi, Su Ba, and others associated with Su Muwan appeared on the screen.

The boy glanced at them, confused. "Why is there a dog?"

"Don't focus on the small stuff."

Li Mingyuan said, staring at Qin Luo's portrait, "It's almost certain that Su Muwan is an Untamed."

"And from my observation, she seems to trust this Qin Luo guy quite a bit."

"So..."

The boy understood, "So Uncle Li, you want to use Qin Luo to threaten Su Muwan into joining the alliance?"

"No."

"Threats won't work on someone like Su Muwan, an Untamed."

"After all..."

Li Mingyuan pushed his glasses, confident, "Qin Luo is just a sidekick, even if he's currently well-liked by Su Muwan."

However... if someone were to use Qin Luo as a leverage to threaten her, she'd undoubtedly be the most alert (or awake) one.

"Therefore, we not only can't threaten, but we must also show goodwill to Qin Luo, offer him power, and bring him into the alliance! Turn Qin Luo and make him the intermediary between the alliance and Su Muwan!"

"If we can get Su Muwan to join us through a gentle approach, that would be the best outcome."

"But if she refuses to cooperate, then..."

Li Mingyuan's eyes darkened, "Eliminating a potential danger to the world would be something the alliance can easily handle."

The boy clapped.

"As expected of Uncle Li."

Li Mingyuan had his considerations. If he hadn't seen Su Muwan's overwhelming combat power, he would have immediately forced her to join the alliance with a tough stance. But...

Having witnessed her advanced abilities, a softer approach was now necessary.

"Oh, and."

Li Mingyuan turned to say, "Remember to take over the Qian Family's various assets later."

"Uh..."

The boy scratched his cheek awkwardly, "About that... the Qian Family already migrated to Jiang City not long ago..."

"Yes, to Su Muwan's turf..."

"?"

Li Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned sour.

He muttered under his breath, "What a bunch of idiots, thinking Su Muwan would protect them just because they're in Jiang City?"

"Don't be ridiculous, even Su Muwan wouldn't risk angering the alliance for the Qian Family!"

The boy nodded, "Your meaning is..."

"Temporarily leave the Qian Family alone. Focus on turning Qin Luo first."

"Oh."

Just then.

An employee rushed in, panic-stricken, holding a device.

He shouted, "Not good! Someone won the jackpot!"

"? Won it? How much?"

"The biggest jackpot ever!!! The funds from Jiang City's lottery pool aren't enough!!!"

"???"

"The head of the Jiang City alliance branch is asking if we can transfer funds over!"

"???"

"If we don't act now! The Jiang City alliance branch will have to sign a debt treaty with Su Muwan!!!!"

"??? Ridiculous! Who could force him to sign something like that??"

"Qin Luo is forcing him to sign!"

"???"

Li Mingyuan's pupils dilated, letting out a piercing scream, "Open the teleportation channel! Hurry up and send me over!!!"

These people in Jiang City are outlaws, aren't they?!

What is this nonsense?!

...

....

In Jiang City.

At the alliance branch.

"Wahhh! Please, Master Qin! I’m your fan!"

"Don’t make me sign this! I’ll die!"

The head of the Jiang City alliance branch, a well-dressed man, was sobbing helplessly on the table, his hand being forced by Qin Luo to sign the "Debt of Twenty Trillion for Jiang City Alliance Branch" document.

"Since you're my fan, you should sign even more!"

Qin Luo smiled as he made the man sign the debt treaty.

Su Muwan sat nearby, sipping on her little milk tea, feeling despondent.

Ah.

Back in my previous life, I diligently managed companies and ran businesses.

Yet...

All I got in return was hundreds of billions in debt.

But!

Qin Luo just cheats a little, and he earns twenty trillion?

This...

Su Muwan felt her brain malfunctioning. Why are you so over the top?

Pop pop!

Qin Luo flicked the debt treaty, then smiled at the weeping branch head sitting in the chair.

He stepped forward, removed the man's name tag, and read, "Bai Wengang..."

Looking up at the man, he asked, "What’s your relationship to Bai Yunfeng?"

Bai Yunfeng, the master of formations Qin Luo had found for the Sky Dream Tree.

Bai Wengang sobbed, "H-he's my grandfather..."

"Well, well, so you're that well-connected?"

"Y-yes... this branch head position was also arranged by my grandfather in exchange for..."

"For what?"

"My grandfather gave the alliance a protective formation that can withstand attacks from Peak Realm experts."

Qin Luo understood. No wonder this branch head was so young.

Su Munwan twitched her lips.

Why are you two chatting like that?

At that moment.

Clang!

"Miss Su, please stop!"

The door opened.

Li Mingyuan rushed in with a group of people, flustered.

Sipping her milk tea, Su Muwan slowly raised an eyebrow.

What did I do now??

Li Mingyuan caught his breath, his gaze shifting from Su Muwan to Qin Luo and Bai Wengang.

When he saw the debt treaty in Qin Luo's hand, his vision darkened.

Bai Yunfeng!! Look at what your grandson has done!!
