Chapter 53: Greedy Krober

"Oh my, this is a pretty good lightnovel theme, isn't it?" Just as the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, Bai Luo's words made the atmosphere become weird. "Light... lightnovel?" The lightness of Inazuma has not been spread too widely in the mainland, so when Kaeya heard this relatively unfamiliar word, he was obviously stunned. But based on this word, he has almost guessed what it is. "Yes, I have thought of a name, why not call it Batman?" "As long as you are happy..." In a short moment, the "information" that Kaeya got from Bai Luo was enough for him to digest for a long time. He glanced at Diluk and the others who had already come out of the meeting room, and apologized: "Instructor, please allow me to leave. My brother is not here, and I still need to maintain the banquet." "Well, thank you for your hard work. If there are similar activities in the future, please be sure to notify me. I like the atmosphere here." "As long as you don't mind." Picking up the wine glass, Kaeya left with a worried expression. Krober, who left with Diluk and Cardinal Seamus, squeezed through the crowd with curses. But after seeing Bai Luo's interested expression, he silently closed his mouth again. "Did you agree?" In fact, judging from Krober's expression, things should not be so smooth. "Well... it seems that the deal has been made so far, and they have clearly agreed to our recruitment requirements, but... it may take some time." After wiping the sweat off his head, Krober actually started cursing in his heart. And it was self-evident who he was cursing. He believed that if Bai Luo went to the meeting room with him, things would definitely be much smoother than they are now. "Need a little time? I believe you should know how precious time is to the doctor, right? Are you sure you want to waste his time?" Looking at Krober with a smile, Bai Luo shook the red wine in the glass and asked. And his words also made Krober's face turn pale. For the doctor who is obsessed with research, time is definitely the most precious thing. Wasting his time is simply asking for trouble. "Instructor! Please be sure to say a few good words in front of the master. They can't refuse this matter. Give me a little more time... just a little! At the meeting tomorrow, I will put pressure on them to let them deliver new materials to us as soon as possible." "I don't care when you get it done. I also have my tasks. Get it done as soon as possible before my tasks are completed, otherwise... you should go and explain to your master yourself." Putting the wine glass in his hand on the table, Bai Luo retracted his sight and walked straight out of the banquet. The bait has been put down, and there is no need for him to stay here. Now it depends on whether the big fish will bite this fat bait. It's just a pity. It's hard to find a second bait like this. "Yes! I understand!" After bowing in the direction where Bai Luo left, Krober breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also noticed the wine and water that Bai Luo placed on the side. In fact, after Krober introduced his identity, Diluk asked the servants to pay special attention to him. For example, the wine and food arranged for him were all the top ones. After Kaeya came over, he brought a collection of fine wine that was not even available at the banquet. So the overflowing aroma of wine immediately filled Krober's nose. After looking around and realizing that the people around him were not paying attention to him, he greedily picked up the cup left by Bai Luo. But before he could take a sip, someone walked behind him and gently patted his shoulder. "Hey, man." Kaeya, who had already talked to Diluk, looked at this greedy guy and had an idea in his mind. "Huh? It's General Manager Kaeya, you scared me." It's not strange that Krober knew Kaeya. During the days when Bai Luo and his party were waiting for the banquet to start at the Goth Grand Hotel, Kaeya had come into contact with all the Fatui except Bai Luo. "I apologize for my brother. He has taken on the responsibility of the entire family at a young age, which makes him a little impetuous. His words and deeds may also be a little impulsive. I'm sorry for offending you." Compared with Bai Luo, Krober is naturally easier to fool. A simple compliment can make him feel ecstatic, and soon reveal his flaws. "Hmph, if the people of Ragnvindr were as sensible as Mr. Kaeya, maybe Master Crepus wouldn't have died so early." Krober tried to imitate Bai Luo and shook the wine glass in his hand. Unfortunately, his poor imitation could not learn Bai Luo's charm at all, and the wine spilled from the edge of the glass made him look as ridiculous as a clown. "To make a long story short, the cardinal is considering your conditions. My personal idea is to relax the requirements a little, and everything will be fine." Kaeya did not show any anger at Krober's offensive remarks. Compared with Diluk, he was more tolerant, but the eye that was not covered by the eye mask narrowed slightly, and the deliberately concealed murderous intent was not noticed by Krober. "Relax...relax the requirements?!" Hearing Kaeya's words, Krober was immediately anxious. He did not forget what Bai Luo had just said. "I can't just promise you this!" As if he had expected Krober to give such an answer, Kaeya comforted him and said, "This is certainly not an empty proposal. The one who wants to make this happen has prepared a small gift for you to express his sincerity." "Oh?!" Although it was a small gift, Krober's eyes lit up and were full of greed. He often asks for bribes, but he knows the tricks here. If they wants him to loosen up in recruiting, then this gift must not be the "small gift" that Kaeya said. He has begun to look forward to it. "Please follow me, I believe you will not be disappointed with this small gift." "Wait... wait a minute, I'll go call a few men." Krober is greedy and mean, but he is also very cherishing his life, otherwise he would not have worked under the doctor until now. You should know that there were many people who worked for the doctor at the beginning. Now, except for Bai Luo who was promoted to an Harbinger, everyone else is basically dead. He can survive, in addition to the doctor needing him to go fishing, more of them have this cautious character. "Come with me, I will definitely not let you down." With a mysterious smile on his face, Kaiya has no interest in this guy anymore. That's right, who would be interested in a dead person who has been squeezed dry of all value? A few minutes later, in the underground wine cellar of Dawn Winery. "Oh, oh, oh! As expected of the chief wine cellar of Mondstadt Wine Industry, this aroma - ah! Even the smell of the oak barrel is so intoxicating." The lamp in his hand had been thrown to the ground by Krober. He greedily pounced on the wine barrel, intoxicated by the aroma of the wine on the barrel, just like caressing the body of a lover. "But... letting me into such a place is your mistake. Do you think I will only take one barrel? How naive! I will ask the guards to carry more back later. The country bumpkins in Mondstadt are stupid. No matter how they fool me, I will definitely take the people away. Not only the people, I will take the wine! I want Mora too! I want them all! They are all mine! Let them lose everything, hahaha - ah ah ah!" Just as Krober was feeling proud, a dart with the appearance of a night owl had already come flying and nailed his right hand that was stroking the wine barrel to the barrel. ________________________________________ Hello my dear readers, I noticed that I am not getting power stones.
