Chapter 106.2

“Cut ribbons with the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Cut ribbons? Sure, no problem!” Zhang Li’er smiled in agreement.

She didn’t understand what cutting ribbons meant, but it was probably a very formal ceremony since Chen Tianyuan and the Hall Lords were doing it. That’s why she didn’t decline.

“Hahaha! That’s good! You have my thanks! The opening ceremony is in ten days. Thank you, everyone!” Wang Ke said heartily.

“It’s what we should do. Thank you too, brother Wang, for allowing my brother to repay your favor!” Zhang Li’er replied.

“Haha, don’t mention it!” Wang Ke said.

The two chatted happily, while Zhang Zhengdao, Zhang Shenxu, and the rest were baffled by the whole thing. Shouldn’t the two of you be in conflict, going at each other’s throats? Why the hell are you chatting so happily? Wang Ke, weren’t you ready to go all out to scam us for compensation? You decided not to do it?

And so, Wang Ke led Zhang Li’er and the rest into the first-floor’s main hall.

Seeing the grand interior of the building had them thinking about a crystal palace.

The Golden Crow Sect contingent were amazed by how luxurious the decorations were. Still, they weren’t as mesmerized because all the decorations only had a beautiful look but were worthless for them.

“Refrain from porn, gambling, and drugs. Carry on with positive energy?” Zhang Li’er was curiously reading the words carved onto one of the main hall’s pillars.

“That’s right,” Wang Ke laughed and said, “There are some guest rooms in God Wang Tower to accommodate our prestigious guests. The God Wang Company is a proper company; we will not tolerate any vices. This is also the righteous sect’s turf. There must be positive energy for sure! When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble my apprentice-brothers from the Golden Crow Sect to help me enforce the rules!” Wang Ke said.

Zhang Li’er smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. These are God Wang Tower’s rules; I’m sure my brother and his juniors can quickly uphold them. Say, you just mentioned that you have some guest rooms here… Since we still have some time, can we live in God Wang Tower in the meantime?” Zhang Li’er asked.

“Certainly!” Wang Ke said, “I will arrange for my manager to pick some rooms with good views!”

“Thank you, brother Wang!” Zhang Li’er smiled and thanked him.

“You’re welcome! It’s what I’m supposed to do!” Wang Ke smiled back at her.

After some courtesy exchange, Wang Ke bid goodbye to the Golden Crow Sect disciples before returning to the Heavenly Wolf Sect.

Murong Luguang rushed over to meet him just as he stepped into the Heavenly Wolf Sect.

“Wang Ke? Why are you back?” Murong Luguang looked at Wang Ke in shock.

“Hmm? What do you mean, eldest apprentice-brother?” Wang Ke was a little lost.

“Listen, the Golden Crow Sect disciples are here to stir trouble for you. Even Zhang Li’er came… Why did you come back? Tell me you didn’t offend her,” Murong Luguang said, frowning.

“Offend?” Wang Ke was confused.

“That’s right. Zhang Li’er has a bad temper, and she’s the Golden Crow Sect’s eldest disciple. If you offended her, you will have to go with me and apologize to her right now!” Murong Luguang explained with staring eyes.

Wang Ke felt that Murong Luguang was behaving rather strangely. You didn’t actually marry Zhang Li’er last time, and she doesn’t even like you! Why are you overreacting?

“I didn’t offend her. We had a good chat and drank tea together!” Wang Ke shook his head and replied.

“Drank tea?”

Murong Luguang looked at Wang Ke with widened eyes. Do you think I’d believe you? You brat! When will some truth ever come out of your mouth?

One of the Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples walked over and said, “Eldest apprentice-brother, junior brother Wang Ke is telling the truth. I was sitting by the side, and I ordered a cup of tea too! It was a little too expensive, though!”

Murong Luguang: “…………………….!”

“What about Zhang Shenxu? Did he cause you any trouble?” Murong Luguang still found it incredulous.

“Nope. He’s working as a security guard at God Wang Tower, and he offered to do it for free! Eldest apprentice-brother, you know me; I’m a very generous person. How can my employees not get paid? Don’t worry, I made arrangements to pay them according to the going rates for security guards!” Wang Ke assured his apprentice-brother.

“Work for you? Can you quit bluffing for a moment?” Murong Luguang looked at Wang Ke in disbelief.

The junior apprentice-brother who drank tea explained, “It’s true. Eldest apprentice-brother, I’ve seen it with my very own eyes. Wang Ke’s men gave them staff uniforms, but the uniforms weren’t their size, so Wang Ke exempted them from wearing them!”

Murong Luguang: “…………………….!”

If that junior apprentice weren’t Murong Luguang’s trusted follower, he would have given said fellow disciple a tight slap. How dare you deceive me with such preposterous lies!

Murong Luguang snorted before walking out of the sect, heading straight to God Wang Tower.

“Our eldest apprentice-brother is always so rash! Sigh! He really lacks composure!” Wang Ke shook his head before heading back to Sword-study Peak.

——————–

In one of God Wang Tower’s guest rooms—

Zhang Li’er stood by the window and observed the clean and tidy room with a smile on her face. She was amazed by everything she saw.

“Sis, aren’t you here to stir trouble and make him cough up the money? What were you doing just now? We were so embarrassed!” Zhang Shenxu said as he seethed.

“I understood, the moment I saw the look and scale of God Wang Tower with my own eyes!” Zhang Li’er said with narrowed eyes.

“What did you understand?” Zhang Shenxu was clueless.

“Wang Ke is about to strike it rich! Very, very rich!” Zhang Li’er said in excitement.

“And then?” Zhang Shenxu was still puzzled.

“Are you dumb?” Zhang Li’er stared at her brother with a frown.

“Me?” The latter felt dazed.

“How much money do you think Wang Ke can spit out for us now?” Zhang Li’er asked.

“Ahh?”

“But if we wait until after his company starts operating, we’ll wait until Wang Ke starts raking in huge amounts of money… Once he’s properly fattened, then we…!” Zhang Li’er explained in excitement.

“Then we’ll ask him for money?” Zhang Shenxu seemed to realize something.

“What do you think? How much do you think he’ll give us if we ask him openly?” Zhang Li’er threw him a stare.

“Ahh? How should we do it then?”

“We’ll double-cross him again and stuff everything he earns in my own pocket! I don’t want chump change; I. Want. Everything!” Zhang Li’er’s eyes glistened in excitement.

“Everything?” Zhang Shenxu’s jaw dropped.

“That’s right. I want everything; that’s why you must endure! Bear with it!” Zhang Li’er encouraged him.

“No wonder others call you ‘she-robber’!” Zhang Shenxu commented.

“She-robber? Didn’t all this come to pass because you’re useless? Look at other women’s younger brothers; they earn money for their sisters to spend. But look at you! You only know how to lose money! Would I have to be this scheming if you could get me money to spend? You’re the reason I have a bad reputation!” Zhang Li’er shot her brother a stare.

The latter’s face froze. He said, “Sis, let’s… Let’s not talk about this right now, please? Let’s talk about me working as a security guard. Why? I’m a Golden Crow Sect disciple. Why do I have to become Wang Ke’s security guard?”

“You know nothing!” Zhang Li’er answered angrily, “If you didn’t have a relevant identity, what else would help me take his money? Listen to me very carefully: patrol God Wang Tower while we wait for the opening ceremony! Collect information about every inch of this place and put all of it in a blueprint for me! Isn’t it the job of a security guard to patrol? Not one inch should be forgotten!”

“Ah? Okay!” Zhang Shenxu answered awkwardly.
