129: Chapter 129: Tons of Gold 129: Chapter 129: Tons of Gold By the time Zhao Guang appeared at the banquet, the soldiers had all gone crazy. However, the way they looked at Zhao Guang had changed, their once cordial gaze now mingled with awe. Zhao Guang needed only a moment to understand why. The soldiers, having been associated with Yars for such an extended period, did not hold a special regard for minor nobles. But soldiers worship strength, and though Zhao Guang’s training period was brief, he had already become a Junior Warrior. Setting aside his Solid Wall Armor which lasted only briefly, just the augmentation of his Combat Energy alone rendered a burst of strength that they couldn’t contend with. Even if Zhao Guang’s foundation was still somewhat lacking, and his skills not proficient enough. But in a true fight, most of the people here would be no match for him. Because of this, the soldiers were no longer as uninhibited as before. Zhao Guang was actually pleased with this turn of events, for their enthusiasm had been a bit overwhelming. Looking around, Yalugo was indeed not present. That haughty fellow, who looked down upon the common folk, was hardly likely to show up at a banquet for ordinary people, which was just as well. After experiencing a quieter banquet than usual, Zhao Guang packed up his things and left. This time Zhao Guang took away a large amount of Jade and Amber, filling up his Space Ring. But he had no plans to take the particularly large pieces. After his last trip back, Zhao Guang knew these giant pieces of Amber were national treasures and lost his desire for them. After all, bringing out too many items of such caliber would raise suspicions even if there weren’t any initially. Looking at the massive natural Amber over one and a half meters in diameter, Zhao Guang could only shake his head and let go of the idea. Such a large piece was better off being appreciated; perhaps one day it might even get attention from others. In any case, he would definitely not dare to bring it back to Earth. Upon returning home, Zhao Guang immediately called his older sister. Not long after, Zhao Yan and Guo Siyu arrived with their team, accompanied by a third party whom Zhao Guang didn’t recognize but looked quite refined. “Hello Mr. Zhao, I’m Huang Haopeng, the bank representative responsible for your transaction,” the man said. Zhao Guang nodded, “Hello, I’m Zhao Guang, a pleasure to meet you.” This man was certainly no ordinary individual. It was impossible for the bank to send just anyone for such matters. Moreover, Zhao Guang noticed the respectful way his sister and Guo Siyu treated him. “Please follow me, this is the Gold I’ve brought back this time.” Although Zhao Guang used his Space Ring to transport a substantial amount of Jade and Amber, he also had a considerable amount of Gold shipped back, which was the payment for this transaction. This time they didn’t use many Gold Coins since Zhao Guang had indicated that gold bars were acceptable, so it was mainly bars this time. It seemed due to a lack of preparation. In future transactions, they might all be in gold bars. Even Huang Haopeng, who was sophisticated and worldly, showed a slight change in expression when he saw the vast amount of Gold. After giving Zhao Guang a significant look, he said, “Mr. Zhao, you really have divine skills.” The exact weight of the Gold had not yet been measured, but with his expertise, he could roughly estimate it. This batch of Gold probably weighed over five tons, and that was just a rough calculation. It might not seem like much at first glance, but the density of Gold was still a given factor. How could an average person acquire so much Gold and then transfer it into the country without any noise? They may not have monitored Zhao Guang, but they believed that the national agencies would’ve surely noticed any extraordinary movements. “Not at all, just making a living. Are you taking half of this batch?” Zhao Guang asked. Guo Siyu suddenly spoke up, “We at Da Manjin don’t need half; keeping two tenths will last us quite a while.” It wasn’t that they couldn’t use it all, but Guo Siyu dare not keep too much. Otherwise, repeated transactions would start to give her a bad reputation. “Okay, we’ll keep two tenths for you this time, let’s start testing it,” Huang Haoran suggested after a moment, and immediately a group of professionals began to analyze and weigh the Gold. It didn’t take much time for the professionals to calculate the results. They even melted down some random Gold bars to test them. Did they mistrust him and think he would deceive them? How petty, Zhao Guang thought to himself. But Zhao Guang didn’t voice his thoughts, and he believed that Yars wouldn’t do such a thing. Everyone was silent, only the sounds of work and recording were heard. It wasn’t long before all documentation was complete. After setting aside two tenths, they quickly moved the Gold to the armored vehicle. Only then did Zhao Guang realize that an armored transport had accompanied them. “The money has been transferred to your card, you can check it,” Huang Haoran said. Zhao Guang checked his phone, where a message had already arrived. “It’s good, no issues,” Zhao Guang nodded in agreement. Then Huang Haoran left quickly with his team, and Zhao Guang noticed that there were armed police on the transport vehicle. It seemed that the higher-ups really valued the transaction with him. It made him wonder if he was being monitored. His power was too weak, and the Space Gate was far too inconvenient. “Let’s go, apart from this Gold, Jade and Amber are what we have left.” “You’ve struck it rich with this deal, Zhao Yan commented. “It’s beyond what most dare to even dream of.” “What’s there to dream about? There’s more to come in the future, and besides, we still have to pay taxes like anyone else, right? You’d better handle that quickly, sis,” Zhao Guang urged. Suddenly, Zhao Yan realized something, “Hold on, you’ve taken off your armor. I didn’t notice just now, but you’re finally looking normal.” Zhao Guang retorted impatiently, “I’ve always been normal, okay? That was just a necessity.” “You should consider changing your necessities, then. People shouldn’t be that abnormal. Look, aren’t the beautiful women pleasing to the eye?” Guo Siyu, feeling called out, spoke up irritably, “Can you two not involve me, an outsider, in your conversations? What kind of beauty am I? Some people don’t even give me a glance.” Zhao Guang spread his hands, “How can one start a family without having made one’s mark in the world?” “That’s some nerve you’ve got,” Zhao Yan retorted, giving Zhao Guang’s head a knock. “Thinking about a career, are you?” “Ouch, why does your skin feel tougher?” Zhao Yan said, noticing something different as she hit her brother. The familiar sensation seemed to have changed. “You see? There’s the issue. Maybe you’ve become softer from living too comfortably,” Zhao Guang counterattacked.
