Shao Yun stood in front of the Goethe Hotel opposite the Knights' headquarters, and the scene before him was a busy construction site.

The workers were sweating profusely, holding tools, and bustling around the construction site.

Old Mr. Goethe stood aside with a hunched back, cheering everyone on from time to time. Although his voice was a little hoarse, it was full of enthusiasm.

"Everyone, work hard. I will provide you with free cold drinks during the lunch break!"

Goethe's voice echoed throughout the construction site. The workers all smiled happily and became more motivated when they heard it.

Shao Yun was attracted by Goethe's voice, and looked at the somewhat hunched figure and sighed.

"This is the legendary landlord Goethe. He is so rich that he started to renovate the hotel before the compensation was received."

Shao Yun appeared behind Goethe, cleared his throat and asked softly.

"You must be old Mr. Goethe."

Goethe was watching the workers working intently when he suddenly heard these words. He felt a cold wind on his back, his eyes widened, and his heart tightened.

Shao Yun was already very gentle, but Goethe still shuddered.

Turning around, he saw Shao Yun standing behind him. He felt uneasy and forced a smile.

"Oh! You are..."

Looking at Goethe's fake smile, Shao Yun nodded awkwardly and rubbed his hands.

"Didn't Amber tell you? I'm here to negotiate compensation with you. I've been a bit busy lately, so I came to you now."

When Goethe heard this, his heart sank, as if something had been exposed.

He quickly looked around, immediately pulled Shao Yun away, and found a secluded place.

Goethe smiled awkwardly and said, "What compensation?"

Shao Yun pointed to the Goethe Hotel which was being rebuilt in the distance.

"A few days ago, I killed all these fools, and during that time I damaged the doors and windows of the hotel. Now I have come here to compensate you for your losses."

When Goethe heard this, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Shao Yun reached into his backpack and prepared to take out the money.

"Tell me, how much does it cost to renovate your hotel?"

There was an unquestionable firmness in his tone, and it was obvious that he sincerely wanted to compensate Goethe for his losses.

When Goethe saw Shao Yun's action, he immediately showed a panicked look. He waved his hand and refused, with a somewhat anxious tone: "No, my family is big and I don't need this little money." As he said this, he tried to pull Shao Yun's hand out of the backpack.

Seeing this, Shao Yun smiled and shook his head, insisting: "How can this be? You are renovating before the compensation has arrived, won't you lose a lot of money? Tell me an amount and I will reimburse you." His tone revealed sincerity and persistence, and it was obvious that he really wanted to be responsible for his actions.

Goethe became even more panicked after hearing what Shao Yun said. He waved his hands repeatedly, almost crying, and said, "Really, no need, Mr. Shao Yun, you killed those fools, and Mondstadt is finally at peace. You have done so much for our Mondstadt, how can I ask you for money again?"

Shao Yun looked at Goethe and felt a little confused. He asked tentatively, "Why? Is the Knights' reimbursement budget very high?"

Goethe looked at Shao Yun's inquiring attitude and felt helpless. He gently motioned Shao Yun to lean closer and then whispered the whole story. His tone was a little hesitant, but more of a relief.

"The Knights only took away the information left by the Fatui. As for the money, they did not touch a single cent." Goethe's voice was low and clear, and every word seemed to be carefully chosen.

After hearing this, Shao Yun rolled his eyes, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. He frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

"What do you mean?" Shao Yun asked doubtfully, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Seeing this, Goethe shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart: This Shao Yun is such a difficult guy.

"Do you really have to let me finish what I'm saying?"

Shao Yun nodded with a serious expression on his face.

"You can't just say half of what you're saying! How can I understand what's going on if you do that?"

Goethe looked at Shao Yun's serious expression and couldn't help but feel a little amused. He sighed and decided to explain the whole story.

"The Knights said that as long as I don't ask you for compensation for the hotel, all the money left by the Fatui will belong to me."

After that, Goethe counted on his fingers and said with a bitter look, "I calculated that this money is enough for me to demolish the hotel and rebuild it, and I can still make a lot of money. So, if you pay for the repairs, I have no reason to accept this money. Wouldn't I lose a lot?"

Good man, there is no gain without pain! If the Knights hadn't said anything about this, would you have come to Amber's house with a banner to collect my debt?

Shao Yun looked around and was so angry that he wanted to pull out his revolver and shoot the old man in the head. The greatest benefit actually went to you, an old man!

If I had known earlier, I would have taken the opportunity to steal some. In the end, you, an old fox, got all the benefits!

Goethe looked at Shao Yun and saw that his face was gradually becoming gloomy and he seemed about to explode with anger, and his heart tightened.

He knew Shao Yun's temper very well and knew that he had to take some measures to calm the other party's anger.

So he quickly pulled out a heavy purse from his pocket, which was full of Mora, making a rustling sound.

Judging from the sound, there are probably more than 300,000.

Goethe walked cautiously to Shao Yun, humbly stuffed the purse into Shao Yun's hand, with a smile on his face.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. I know that I did not do this right and made you unhappy. This money is my compensation to you."

Shao Yun weighed the money bag in his hand, and the anger on his face eased a little, but he was still very angry! He stared at Goethe fiercely and said, "Oh, you old man have made a lot of money, ah! I feel like a fool!"

You make money, but I'm covered in blood. There's no such a good deal in the world!

After hearing this, Goethe was panicked, fearing that Shao Yun would be furious. He hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, saying all the nice things he could to try to calm Shao Yun's anger.

"Oh, I owe you a favor, okay? Please forgive me, sir."

More than 300,000 Mora, plus a favor from Mond's largest landlord, Shao Yun thought it was actually not bad.

Shao Yun snorted coldly and put away the purse. Although the anger on his face had dissipated a little, it was not completely gone. He pointed at Goethe's nose and cursed.

"A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. You, old man, are quite calculating. I killed the Fatui, and I was targeted by those guys, but you are happily counting money!"

Goethe finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shao Yun put away the purse. It was better to curse than to lose your life!

Goethe listened, nodded, bowed, and tried hard to smile.

"Hahaha, you really are a joker. I'm going to take care of the hotel stuff now, take care."

Shao Yun snapped his fingers and said unhappily, "Just fix up your hotel. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Goethe looked at Shao Yun's back and felt relieved. He knew that although there were some twists and turns this time, it was finally resolved satisfactorily.

He politely shouted at Shao Yun's back: "Walk slowly!"

Then, without waiting for Shao Yun to reply, he hurried to the construction site and started to work, continuing to direct the restoration of the hotel.

When Shao Yun left the Goethe Hotel, his heart was filled with rage, as if he wanted to set the whole world on fire.

His steps were heavy and powerful, and each step was accompanied by a dull sound, like an angry drumbeat, echoing in the street.

His face was terribly gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm, which made people shudder.
