Chapter 290: Flying Banknotes

Luxury suite.

"Han Meng... It's this Han Meng again? What the hell does he want to do?!"

Seeing Han Meng appear suddenly and restrain the two Arbiters, Yan Shang was furious.

However, based on Yan Shang's understanding of Han Meng, he had already guessed the other's intention... He knew very well that those methods might be able to bribe any Arbiter in Aurora City, but they couldn't bribe Han Meng.

Han Meng appearing here was definitely to cause trouble for the three chambers!

"No, where did that black monster come from?" The president of the Silver Moon Chamber turned to look at Yan Shang. "Didn't you say that Lifu was very strong?!"

"First the Twilight Society, then a Calamity Fusionist, and now another incorruptible Arbiter, Han Meng... How can this business continue?" The president of the Cold Spring Chamber sighed.

At this moment, even Yan Shang's expression changed.

If it were just one member of the Twilight Society, they could fight it out, but now variables were emerging one after another—coal being stolen, a monster slaughtering people, and now Han Meng... It was likely that the coal would be very difficult to sell further.

Yan Shang's brain worked at high speed. After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth:

"Notify the driver, we're pulling out."

Once these words were spoken, the other two presidents finally breathed a sigh of relief... They had wanted to run away for a long time!

"What about the front? They're still looting coal over there."

"Let them loot it, it's just some broken coal, who cares?" Yan Shang waved his hand, and a subordinate stepped forward, placing several leather suitcases on the table.

As the metal clasps were opened, the suitcases popped open automatically, filled with densely packed banknotes. When the lids opened, they were almost overflowing... Seeing these cases, the eyes of the two presidents widened.

Each banknote in here had a denomination of over five hundred thousand. With so many piled together, even they couldn't calculate how much money there was.

"The first batch of money is all here," Yan Shang said coldly.

Fortunately, he had ordered a batch of funds to be transferred over earlier, otherwise, with things so chaotic outside, it would be very troublesome to transport money now... This money seemed like a lot, but compared to Yan Shang's expectations, it was still quite a bit short.

If it weren't for those people causing trouble, he could have gotten even more!

"You each take one case, the remaining eight cases are all mine."

"What?"

The president of the Silver Moon Chamber was stunned. This distribution ratio was truly unreasonable for them. Just as he was about to stand up and argue for more, the Cold Spring president held him down.

"...Fine, we'll have to trouble President Yan to escort us out."

With that, the Silver Moon president calmed down and silently picked up his own case, looking at the chaotic outside world with a complex expression.

Yan Shang was very satisfied with their attitude. He signaled his subordinates to hold the cases for him and said slowly:

"The car is ready. Don't worry, we'll take the outer ring road, we'll definitely arrive at the station on time."

As Yan Shang spoke, he looked out the window. He took one last look at this busiest street in Aurora City before turning to leave.

Led by their subordinates, the three presidents walked through the warm corridor. The moment the hotel door was pushed open, the biting cold wind outside blew through, causing the Silver Moon and Cold Spring presidents to shiver, their suitcases nearly dropping to the ground.

"It's too cold... too cold! Has the temperature outside dropped this low?"

"Hurry up! Get out of this hellhole!"

"It'll be better once we're out of the Aurora Realm... This place is truly not meant for humans."

The two presidents shivered as they reached down to pick up their cases. When they lifted them again, they suddenly froze.

Century Avenue was still in extreme chaos, with residents all fighting over coal, and no one noticed the situation in this corner. Yan Shang had already walked a few steps, and seeing that the two presidents hadn't followed, he turned back with a frown.

"Why are you dawdling?"

"President... President Yan," the Silver Moon president said suspiciously. "Why do I feel... the weight of this case is wrong? It suddenly became lighter."

"Mine too, it just became lighter after I dropped it for a second..." the other president replied.

"Bullshit, you were holding them fine, how could they become lighter?" Yan Shang snorted coldly. Just as he was about to say more, the subordinates beside him looked stunned and stared blankly at the cases in their hands.

"President... it seems they really are lighter."

Yan Shang's brows locked together. He suddenly had an ominous premonition. He snatched a case from a subordinate and opened it on the spot!

The moment the metal clasp popped up, Yan Shang's pupils contracted sharply!

The banknotes they had personally put into the cases earlier had vanished, replaced by chunks of pitch-black coal... These coals filled the cases, covering Yan Shang's hands in dust.

"This... how is this possible??" The others opened their cases as well, all filled with nothing but coal!

Clap—clap—clap...

Crisp applause came from not far away, clearly audible on the chaotic Century Avenue.

Han Meng, who was in the middle of fighting, seemed to sense something and turned toward the direction of the sound. The monster covered in incantations, who was battling the giant, also turned...

There, at the top of the tower on Century Avenue, a red kite fluttered in the wind.

A figure in a brown trench coat sat casually on the roof, his fingertips playing with a blood-stained [Spade 6] playing card... Beneath him was a high mountain of banknotes!

The moment he saw that figure, Han Meng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's him..."

"It's him?" the monster covered in incantations muttered to himself.

Seeing the banknotes they had worked so hard to earn appear inexplicably at the top of the tower, being sat upon like trash, the three presidents of the chambers widened their eyes, their expressions filled with astonishment and confusion!

"I was wondering why it was so lively here... turns out there's a good show to watch."

The young man sat on the high mountain of banknotes. As a gale swept through, a large number of banknotes rose into the wind like butterflies, fluttering around him!

As his eyes narrowed slightly, the fluttering banknotes suddenly transformed into countless [Heart 6] cards, dancing chaotically in the howling cold wind like a red cloud covering the sky above Century Avenue... and then drifted downward.

He flicked his finger, and the blood-stained [Spade 6] in his hand whistled through the air like a blade, piercing precisely into the earth at Yan Shang's feet!

"Hey... I'm asking you."

"What did you do... to our Twilight Society's [Spade 6]?"

A wisp of murderous intent flashed coldly in Chen Ling's pupils!
