The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage
Chapter 169: Interest comes first
“It’s ego.”
After the rich man finished saying this extremely arrogant remark, the main house of the Lin residence fell silent again.
Even though Luo Mu had lived two lives, he didn't know how to evaluate the young executive in front of him who had no divine eyes. He was like an old man's soul stuffed into the body of a young man. He had the calmness of an old man and the arrogance of a young strong man. For a moment, Luo Mu didn't know what attitude he should adopt towards this colleague.
"Arrogant?" After a moment, Luo Mu slowly said, "I didn't expect the rich to see me like this."
The rich man Pantalone still smiled warmly and kindly: "Then what do you think of me, Mr. Fool?"
"A poisonous snake." Luo Mu said bluntly: "A vicious snake created by money and power. No one who is targeted by you will have a good ending."
"Oh? Such a high evaluation." Pantalone nodded and smiled, accepting all of Luo Mu's evaluation. But suddenly, he changed the subject:
"What if I'm targeting Mr. Fool's Lin family now?"
Targeting the Lin family... What does this mean? Is it a test from Zhidong? Or does this young madman simply want to show off his fangs? But no matter what the reason is, using my direct line of descent to threaten me...
"Then I will dig out your eyes." Luo Mu said in a cold voice, a dangerous murderous intent flashed in his narrow eyes.
Facing Luo Mu's sudden murderous intent, Pantalone waved his hand nonchalantly: "It was just a joke just now, there's no need to take it so seriously. I hope Mr. Jester doesn't mind."
Luo Mu exhaled slowly and leaned back on the seat. He suppressed his murderous intent and said calmly, "Of course, we have to work together in the future. If you covet my power now, I will chop off your head. This is really wrong."
He was not going to give this step to Pantalone easily. When he was about to leave Liyue for Inazuma, he had to be firm enough to let other executives know one thing: if you touch my things, you will pay the price.
Like being killed by me.
Pantalone's right hand, which was resting on the armrest, moved slightly.
"That's natural." He raised the corners of his mouth and said softly.
"Her Majesty the Queen would not want this to happen."
Having said that, the young executive stood up, and without waiting for Luo Mu to get up to see him off, he walked towards the door of the main house on his own. The moment he pushed the door open, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Luo Mu.
"You said I was a poisonous snake of money, but I don't think that's accurate. I don't have the noble character of a snake."
"I am a maggot of money, I am a fly of power. As long as it is something that is beneficial to achieving my goals and the goals of Her Majesty the Queen, no matter what, no matter what the cost, I will pounce on it regardless of everything and grab it in my hands."
“The essence of a transaction is not the contract, but the interests. As long as the interests are sufficient, even the contract to end all contracts can be torn up.”
"Only interests are eternal."
…………
Luo Mu sat on the main seat for a long time in silence.
He did not call back Asi, Lin Qingshi or any of his confidants. He just sat there quietly, thinking about Pantalone's last few words.
This young man, like the young master and the lady, is indeed a madman who is obsessed and paranoid in some ways... He is a winter executor who is extremely wise and extremely opposed to the God of Contract. Sending such a person to Liyue is like dropping a drop of black ink into a pool of clear water. I'm afraid Ningguang will be restless for a while.
Apart from the level of gods, the other six countries facing the Fatui executive are no different from facing eleven lunatics, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, lunatics with extremely deep thoughts and extremely paranoid ideas. The danger of each of them is definitely not something that can be measured by their superficial combat effectiveness.
Oh, no, now they are facing twelve crazy people...
After sitting quietly for a while, Luo Mu raised his head and glanced at the tightly closed door of the main house. He suddenly laughed. He raised his hand and hooked his fingers slightly. The door opened immediately. Asi Linling and others who were huddled together behind the door fell into the house in panic and fell into a heap.
"You guys are enjoying what you're hearing, right?" Luo Mu said with a smile, "It's fine if it's just you two kids, but why is Mr. Lin getting involved?"
Lin Qingshi, who was caught on the spot, blushed slightly. He said humbly, "I, I am just worried that you will suffer if you talk to that guy alone."
Luo Mu snorted: "Am I the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"
"Then last time you were... "
"Ashi! If you keep talking I'll throw you out!"
"Sir, I was wrong!"
“Forget it, since you are here, let’s talk about business.” Luo Mu tapped his temple helplessly and said tiredly: “I will leave Liyue probably the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. At that time, the operation of the entire Destiny will be based on our previous plan. Remember, don’t take the initiative to cause trouble before I come back!” He warned seriously.
"Ah? Sir, you are leaving again?" Asi lowered his head in frustration.
Luo Mu's eyes flickered, and he calmly swallowed back the sigh that was about to come to his lips, and continued: "You should take good care of the children like Ah Shi and Lin Ling. Now Tian Ming, they..."
Luo Mu didn't continue speaking, but Lin Qingshi was a smart man and naturally understood what Luo Mu meant.
"Don't worry, children will only be children, even those born under fate's will," he assured righteously.
Luo Mu nodded. With Lin Qingshi's assurance, he felt a lot more at ease.
In this increasingly unpredictable situation, Luo Mu doesn't want any more children like Asi to appear in the struggle.
If it was the rich guy, he would have no hesitation in using the child as his eyes and ears. After all, he could use his adopted son at will...
Thinking of this, Luo Mu thought of the young man from the next door source. He was the adopted son of a rich man and had complete faith in his beliefs and what he did. How many children like him have been cultivated in the entire Zhidong and the entire Fatui?
Kong said that one of his tasks was to make the loss of the Hearts of several gods seem reasonable and inevitable, so that Heaven would not vent its anger on its subjects. Then, what kind of determination did the Ice Queen have in doing such a task, as she was bent on collecting all the Hearts of God? And what kind of faith did her subjects have, to be able to stand firm and move further and further away from their own gods on this path of rebellion?
Rich people, is this what you call profit first?
Sure enough, the interests recognized by a madman are different from the interests understood by a normal person.
