Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, and gold coins fell from her palm one by one.
"As long as you have money, achieving this goal is always easy, isn't it?"
As the gold coins gradually piled up into a small mountain, neither Dad nor Jackie Chan knew what to say. One was an archaeologist, and the other ran an antique shop; they could tell at a glance whether the coins were real or not.
With that mountain of gold coins on the ground, taking it out and using it to gain power and other things would be a piece of cake.
If the previous Holy Lord relied on violence to commit various crimes, it would attract various official forces to besiege him.
It's hard to say whether the official forces will maintain the same attitude as before regarding Bai Zhi's current actions.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Xiaoyu, here's a gold coin for you. I'll give you the address after I settle down. Feel free to come visit sometime. We're good friends, aren't we?"
Bai Zhi waved her hand, and the spatial storage device took away the pile of gold coins, then gave one to Xiao Yu separately.
"Yes, I will, Little Angelica, you will always be my best friend!"
Xiaoyu's face beamed with happiness as she took the gold coin.
"Haha, that's good. Media team, let's go!"
Watching Bai Zhi's departing figure, the old man and Jackie Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Jackie Chan, this Holy Master may be very dangerous. The recent surge in dark forces and the disruption of the yin-yang balance may be due to her.”
The old man picked up some things from the table and began to mix the materials needed for the magic.
"I know, Dad, and Xiaoyu, give me the gold coins. There might be some evil magic from the Holy Lord on them!"
"I won't give it to her. This is a gift from Xiao Baizhi, and I think she's a very nice person. She even helped us this time. Maybe she's just nicknamed 'Holy Lord' because she shares the same name as that big green dragon."
Xiaoyu quickly hid the gold coins inside her clothes, then protested indignantly.
"boom"
A puff of smoke rose from Dad's desk, on which two red dots were flashing incessantly.
“This guy… she wasn’t lying. According to my magic, there are indeed two Holy Lords now, and the black aura seems quite satisfied with this new Holy Lord.”
The old man pointed to the cloud of smoke, and it was clear from above that many of the smoke particles were surging toward the two red dots, with one of them obviously having a much larger amount of smoke.
"If I were Black Qi, I would definitely choose Angelica dahurica. It's beautiful and doesn't solve problems by fighting. It exudes elegance."
“Xiaoyu, that’s the Holy Lord, a demon. You can’t judge him by his appearance alone.”
Jackie Chan's earnest and heartfelt teachings.
"Oh, okay, okay, Uncle Long is so long-winded. I'm going out to play now. See you later, Uncle Long."
Xiaoyu waved her hand impatiently.
"This kid must have taken the money and gone off to have a good time."
Looking at Xiaoyu, who completely ignored his teachings and ran away in a flash, Jackie Chan was filled with helplessness. This new Holy Master was much more difficult to deal with than the previous one. With just this one move of money, Xiaoyu was the first to betray him.
Meanwhile, from another hidden spot, the Holy Lord's furious roar echoed:
"Useless. A group of people with guns can't beat an old man and an archaeologist."
“Holy Lord, this is not our fault. If it weren’t for your daughter’s involvement, we would definitely have gotten it,” A-Fen replied boldly.
"Daughter? What daughter? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The Holy Lord grew increasingly furious; fire was even spewing from the statue's nostrils. What excuses could these good-for-nothings possibly give him?
"We're not lying to you. Look, these are photos we took secretly!"
293. Take me to meet her.
Ah Fen quickly took out a photo and placed it in front of the Holy Lord.
"Look at those dragon horns and those eyes. It's not just about her appearance. She also knows how to use talismans. In that shabby shop, she turned all of us into rats."
Holy Lord: ?!
Looking at the angelica in the photo, the Holy Lord began to be confused.
Although he had never met Bai Zhi in person, the moment he saw her, he suddenly had a strange feeling that she looked too much like him, as if they were made from the same mold.
Moreover, his strong intuition told him that the other party was definitely a dragon descendant.
These are not the inferior demon dragonborn they created, but the real dragons.
Seeing the Holy Lord stunned, Ah Fen was a little smug. You old thing, you didn't admit it at first, but now that you've seen the photo, you can't deny it anymore, can you? You clearly have a daughter, but you're still being stubborn.
The Holy Lord fell into deep thought. Could it be that he had been sealed away for too long, causing his wisdom and memories to wear down, and thus he had forgotten some things?
Do you actually have a daughter?
Or is it that because he was sealed, the fire demon energy created another dragon?
But that's not right. Even if the fire demon energy was stripped away because of the seal, how come the skill is still exactly the same?
Thinking about this, the Holy Lord's mind was completely blank, with all sorts of guesses swirling in his head.
"What are you saying to the Holy Lord here again?"
At that moment, Valmont, the leader of the Black Hand gang, pushed open the door and looked at everyone with some displeasure.
“Do you know that because you went out on the street with guns and attacked that antique shop, the police were attracted. If it weren’t for my connections in the state legislature and the police station here, we would probably be surrounded by police by now.”
"Boss, this time it's not our fault, it's all because of the Holy Lord's daughter!"
Some simple-minded Rasu also continued to cry foul.
"what?"
Valmont looked at Shendu with a strange expression, then at his subordinates.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could this guy possibly have a daughter? Even if he did, she'd probably be all green, with a hideous face, and horribly ugly."
"Shit! Holy Lord, what are you doing? You almost burned me."
A burst of flame struck, and Valmont screamed and jumped high into the air, then glared angrily at Shendu.
"Old man, you always said that if you got the talisman you would give us the Golden Rooster King's treasure, but after all this time, I've spent a lot of money to deal with all the mess you caused, and I still haven't gotten a single thing back."
"At this rate, I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt before I even get the treasure."
"And now you actually dare to burn me! Believe me or not, I'll throw you into the sea!"
Valon was furious. He had just spent a considerable amount of US dollars trying to quell the incident. Because he had focused his attention and manpower on the Holy Lord, he was now in a situation where his savings were running out.
After all this time and so much investment, not only have I received no return, but I've also been treated like this.
He was, after all, a respected leader of the Mafia; how could he tolerate this?
"Vallon, I am a noble dragon, how dare you insult me like this? My offspring will surely be very handsome, how could they be as hideous as you say?"
"If this were before, you would have been taken down long ago if you dared to insult me like this."
"Boss, the Holy Lord's daughter is indeed very beautiful. Here's a picture, take a look."
Ah Fen eagerly took the photo and handed it to Valon.
Seeing what A-Fen did, Valon raised an eyebrow. He was just joking and venting his anger over his recent failures, but A-Fen had already handed over the photos. Could there really be something going on?
"I'd like to see what this so-called Holy Lord's daughter is like..."
"Hiss... It really is true. Even if it's not a daughter, there must be some connection."
Looking at Bai Zhi's appearance in the photo, Valon stroked his chin.
This guy is way better looking than the Holy Lord. Just based on his looks alone, he could easily get over 50% favorability from most people.
He doesn't look like a saint at all; he looks like a major villain.
"Holy Lord, the clothes your daughter is wearing look quite nice. She must be quite wealthy. You haven't given me any information about the treasure lately. Should I ask your daughter for it?"
“I never said she was my daughter.”
"It doesn't matter. I'm still very curious about her, and judging from her clothes, she's obviously much richer than you, you stingy old man. It's good to get to know her a little."
As he spoke, Valon shifted his gaze to Afen, "You guys, do you know where this guy is?"
"Hey boss, I knew you'd ask this. We've heard that she has a team of people working under her, all dressed in suits and ties, looking very professional. The girl even gave her subordinates a huge handful of gold coins, then exchanged them for a large sum of money, and finally rented an office in a high-end office building."
Ah Fen said, as if taking credit, that after meeting Bai Zhi, he had only taken one photo before coming back.
But for some reason, he suddenly realized that if he simply brought back a photo, even if the Holy Lord confirmed that there was such a daughter, he wouldn't know where she was, and he would probably get a scolding.
So he and a few others waited near the antique shop, and only after they saw Bai Zhi lead a group of people out did they slowly follow them.
"Not bad, you've suddenly become quite professional."
Upon hearing this, Valon couldn't help but praise Afen, saying that his subordinate was capable, which somewhat calmed down his anger from being forced to pay money to avoid trouble.
"Absolutely. In the past, wasn't this what our Mafia was all about? If we wanted to do something to someone, scouting was a must."
"Indeed, I completely forgot about such an important skill. But the fact that she can casually produce a handful of gold coins suggests she might actually possess some secret treasure..."
As he spoke, Valon glanced at Shendu, seemingly hinting at something.
As an ancient monster who has lived for countless years, Shendu naturally saw through Valmont's hint.
However, he didn't want to speak, because as everyone knows, dragons are extremely greedy and would never share even a fraction of their wealth.
If you try to make empty promises to Vallon now, he probably won't take them.
So the only option is to remain silent, and then think of a way to get free labor from Valon.
"snort....."
Valon snorted coldly; he had finally seen through this old man.
But he couldn't give up, after all, he had already invested so much energy and money, the sunk costs were too high, and he could only go down this path to the bitter end.
"Afen, take me to that girl, I want to see her!"
294 Cheers to our friendship!
"Boss, this is the place. I remember it clearly."
On the bustling street, Ah Fen pointed to a towering building ahead and shouted to Valon.
"That girl must have some money to be able to rent an office here."
Valon surveyed the building. He had been deeply involved in San Francisco for a long time and knew the city all too well.
This building is located in the most bustling area of the city, and its security services and other supporting facilities are excellent. From the top, you can overlook the most beautiful area of the city.
Of course, the price was also quite high. Even he, the boss of the Mafia, didn't think about renting an office space here, but instead chose the suburbs.
"Do you know which floor and apartment number that girl lives on?" Valon asked Afen, turning his gaze away from the room.
“Of course, boss, we already know the girl is in room 3 on the 23rd floor,” A-Fen said quickly.
"Great, let's go meet her then. It would be even better if we could get some money from her."
Valon took a deep breath. At least from what Afen said, the girl who could take out so many gold coins for her subordinates shouldn't be a stingy miser like Shendu. Maybe he could actually get some benefits out of her.
With this in mind, he stepped into the building, easily passed through security, and arrived at the 23rd floor.
"Hmm... Room 3, Destiny Company, an interesting name."
Valmont found the dragon head icon, which seemed to have been recently affixed, and the Schicksal (destiny) below it quite amusing.
If this woman is truly the daughter of God, then she would probably be much easier to deal with than God himself.
After all, compared to a stingy dragon, a businessman who knows how to run a company is always much gentler.
At least a savvy businessman knows that sometimes acquiring something requires paying a price and effort, rather than getting something for nothing by making empty promises without even receiving a salary.
He straightened his clothes, trying to maintain a gentlemanly appearance, and then rang the doorbell.
A few seconds later, several men in black suits came out and looked at Valon with a hint of doubt.
"This is Destiny Company. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Valon, and I've come specifically to visit the owner here. I hope to discuss some matters with him. May I come in?"
Valon spoke calmly, not at all like a gang leader.
