110: Chapter 110: Coming for the Gold 110: Chapter 110: Coming for the Gold “Mr. Li, I never expected such an important figure like you would visit our humble place. We are truly honored. Please, have a seat. Go, prepare our finest tea,” Guo Siyu quickly instructed. Mr. Li nodded arrogantly, then walked over to the seat opposite and sat down directly. “Zhao Guang, Mr. Zhao, it is truly not easy to secure a meeting with you.” Mr. Li completely ignored Guo Siyu and focused all his attention on Zhao Guang. The people around instantly understood that Mr. Li had come for Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang eyed the bodyguards subtly surrounding him and a stick the size of a chopstick appeared in his hand. It was his charged magic wand, which Zhao Guang fiddled with while being ready to cast an Air Shield to protect himself at any moment. “Are you looking for me, Mr. Li? I’m not sure what you would require from me, as I don’t remember knowing a person of your stature.” In the Otherworld, he had met many people, including the Great Nobles who were high above the rest. As for Mr. Li’s aura, Zhao Guang truly didn’t feel much. But others couldn’t see that, of course, since Zhao Guang’s face was hidden within his armor. The muffled and suffocated sound made Mr. Li frown. Even though he had heard about Zhao Guang’s irreverence before coming here, seeing this armored person in front of him was still somewhat speechless. Guo Siyu and Zhao Yan both stood by the side, neither sitting down nor speaking a word. Since Mr. Li had come for Zhao Guang, it meant he had done his research beforehand. Guo Siyu secretly sighed in his heart; was the other party interested in Zhao Guang’s channel? If that was the case, then it could be dangerous. He hoped that this man would leave them a share of the benefits. “Me, an important figure? I’m just running errands for people. But you, now you’re an important figure,” Mr. Li said. “In what way?” Zhao Guang felt no stage fright whatsoever. With power came confidence. In the worst-case scenario, all he needed was to reach out his hand, and this man before his eyes would be doomed. Zhao Guang himself didn’t realize that his mindset had changed long ago. “The gold from Da Manjin was sourced by you, wasn’t it, Mr. Zhao? I wonder how much more you can get.” They had noticed it from the start, but they believed those were only some Gold Coins, not thinking there could be much to them. The coins bore signs of circulation wear, so they definitely weren’t cast recently. Yet they hadn’t anticipated that Zhao Guang could keep sourcing it, and in increasing quantities, too. No such dynasty ever appeared in history, nor could any dynasty truly amass such a vast number of Gold Coins. How Zhao Guang had acquired these was an unsolved mystery. But whether it was a mystery or not didn’t matter; the gold was very real. In this area, Zhao Guang felt no need to hide, as the other party had done such thorough research that any future acquisitions of gold would be exhaustively investigated as well. “Quite a bit. Do you need a lot of gold?” Clearly, this man came for the gold. “Quite a bit, indeed. Can you get a few tons, or even over ten tons, or perhaps even more?” “If necessary, maybe even more. Getting hundreds of tons could be possible.” In the Otherworld, gold production was substantial, or else how could it be used as circulating currency? If the gold had been scarce, it might have only served as a highly-valued gemstone and never as a common currency. Upon hearing Zhao Guang’s words, even Mr. Li’s expression turned serious, the previous arrogance fading away. If one could bring over hundreds of tons of gold, then Zhao Guang’s value was higher than his own. Mr. Li set aside his baton and, resting his hands on his chin, spoke seriously, “I’m asking on behalf of those above; they need a lot of gold.” “But our company needs it too.” “Your company can only make jewelry with the gold, but those above can do so much more with it.” Zhao Guang’s expression shifted as he pointed upwards and said, “The ‘above’ you refer to, is it that ‘above’?” “It is indeed higher up.” Everyone now understood. No wonder his reach extended so high; he was doing work for those above, which explained everything. “Okay, but the company needs to retain a certain quantity.” “Let’s say half for now. Later, if there’s more, your company can keep what it needs and sell the rest to me. Of course, through the bank records.” Going through bank records, that would be even less troublesome. “So, no one will come looking for us after this, right?” “Definitely not. As long as the gold goes through bank records, I guarantee no one will dare trouble you, not in the whole country. Of course, that’s provided you don’t partake in illegal activities.” “Of course not, I’m a law-abiding citizen.” Mr. Li revealed a smile; who would believe that a person with such a channel was entirely law-abiding? No one did. However, as long as the gold ended up in the nation’s hands, there was no problem. Other matters, like amber and jade, which were merely gemstones, held little significance on a national scale. Economic development relies on the monetary system, and gold is the best way to stabilize it. At this moment, Guo Siyu also felt relieved; it was as if their company had found a solid backer. As long as there were no internal issues, there would hardly be any external troubles. Guo Siyu kept signaling Zhao Guang with his eyes, but with the helmet on, Zhao Guang couldn’t see a thing. After some thought, Zhao Guang nodded and said, “No problem, but I don’t have the time to discuss specifics. Deal with it through the company’s accounts when the time comes.” Mr. Li also relaxed, “Ha ha, of course, of course. Let the bankers worry about it; we should just enjoy life.” It was clear that Mr. Li knew how to enjoy living. “Alright, since the matter is settled, I’ll be on my way back. If there are any issues, call this number. Also, it’s best to keep the money in the country.” Mr. Li handed Zhao Guang a business card, a very simple one, with just a name and a phone number. There was no contract or anything of the sort left behind. Or perhaps, at his level, a verbal agreement was worth much more than a contract, rendering the paperwork meaningless. Watching Mr. Li leave, Guo Siyu had a complex expression. “I never thought I’d be connected with such an important figure one day.” “Compared to those above, he isn’t much of an important figure.” Zhao Guang also marveled that amassing gold indeed granted incredible power. He didn’t even have to seek them out; they came to him. “What does that matter? If we can’t meet their conditions, they could crush us with a flick of their fingers,” Guo Siyu remarked with emotion.
