Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!
Chapter 146 Money and Gold
"Friends, you have been following me since I entered Fontaine. What do you want to do? You just want to borrow some money. Fight with me and I will give it to you if you win."
"If you just want to cause trouble, then you have picked the wrong target. Although this is my first time in Fontaine and the laws of Fontaine are not perfect, but in every country, the party that takes action first is definitely wrong, right?"
"My friend, if you don't want to get into trouble, please leave now. After all, Mr. Zhongli said that when you are out in the open, you should avoid taking the first step."
Tartaglia looked at the members of the special patrol team in front of him and gave them a kind reminder.
This time when he came to Fontaine, Dadalia did not reveal his identity as an executive, but simply traveled to Fontaine as a tourist.
Well, actually his master sent him a message a few months ago, saying that Fontaine was in some trouble and needed him to deal with it.
However, his master did not specify what the trouble was, so Tartaglia had no choice but to go to Fontaine first.
Then, just as Tartaglia left, Pantalone arrived in Liyue. Pantalone was fed up with the bills of the past few months and wanted to have a long-awaited sparring match with Tartaglia.
Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived in Liyue, he learned the news that Tartaglia was going to Fontaine. When Pantalone heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up, because there was no Zhongli in Fontaine.
This means that in the next few months, Dadalia will not contribute any new bills to him.
Even more wonderful, Zhongli's bill was sent to the Northland Bank again. As his creditor, Pantalone thought he was qualified to meet him.
So he went to Xinyuexuan without hesitation. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large table of delicious food and Zhongli sitting alone.
"Hmm? Isn't it you, the young master, who is here today? You...it's you, the lost child."
Pantalone smiled warmly at Zhongli. Who was Zhongli? He could see at a glance the hypocrisy and the poison beneath the smile.
It would be easy to take away tens of thousands of lives. This is Pantalone. Pantalone's current situation only requires a slight movement of his fingertips, and those who owe debts to the Northland Bank will lose their lives.
Most of them are poor people from various countries. If they had no other choice, who would be willing to borrow money from the North Country Bank?
"My God, I never thought that you, as the creator of Mora, would be reduced to using the money earned by the blood and tears of a profit-seeking businessman like me."
"Don't you think that the money earned from blood, tears, and wailing is so dirty?"
"Or maybe you actually know that this money is dirty, so you use this body to make this money clean."
"Do you know? I once knelt before your statue and prayed day and night. I only hope you can cast a look of pity on me."
"But you didn't, so I had to find my own way to gain your attention. Then I found that no matter what I did, it seemed that it didn't make any waves in your eyes."
Zhongli didn't look at Pantalone, but just ate the delicious meal silently. However, it was this indifferent look of Zhongli that completely angered Pantalone. Pantalone pinched Zhongli's chin and turned Zhongli's head to stare at him.
However, Zhongli chose to close his eyes, and Pantalone laughed in anger.
"Don't open your eyes. Just don't open your eyes. Even if you don't look at me now, you will watch the destruction of the world."
“The path of money circulation constitutes the veins of the world. The center of the world is the heart of gold.”
"If the heart is no longer supplied with blood, it will gradually stop beating. If blood cannot flow through the heart to the whole body, then the 'person' will gradually become cold and die."
"Watch carefully, Morax the High. Watch your blood flow all over the world, and watch this 'person' slowly die of coldness."
After finishing speaking, Pantalone left Crescent Pavilion directly, returned to Northland Bank, and paid the bill anyway.
Morax looked at the delicious food on the table and suddenly lost his appetite. He felt guilty towards Pantalone.
It is unknown when a ragged young boy began to kneel before the statue every day.
From the very beginning, Morax felt a unique power of faith. He put his consciousness into the statue and saw the young man. Although the young man was ragged, his eyes were full of brilliance.
Morax knew from the beginning that the boy had a talent for business, and thus he also saw through the greed and desire hidden deep in the boy's heart.
For this reason, Morax paid special attention to the boy, and every time the boy worked, he would pray to him first.
However, as the boy's wealth accumulated, his greed and desires also grew infinitely. It was not until he was suppressed by other businessmen that he left his hometown.
When the boy left his hometown, the greed and desire in his eyes turned into hatred. Morax watched the boy throw away his sculpture, and the boy's back full of resentment looked so desolate.
Morax picked up the sculpture and looked at the direction where the boy was going. He sighed silently, and finally ended up like this.
This was Zhongli’s first time, and he didn’t touch most of the dishes. If the owner of Xinyuexuan hadn’t tasted the dishes himself, the chef would have been fired that day.
At the North Country Bank, Pantalone looked at the banquet in front of him, which was exactly the same as the one Morax had just had, and felt that it was boring. He finally took it away.
He started to deal with the affairs. After all, Liyue's business had not been improving, which was a concern for Pantalone.
All industries of the Northland Bank in other countries are thriving, except in Liyue, where all industries are already saturated. It is not easy to tear off a piece of meat in an environment surrounded by wolves.
Especially Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, the only chamber of commerce authorized by Tianquan, can be said to have the support of the entire Liyue.
It seems that at Ningguang's instruction, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has recently been targeting foreign companies that try to enter Liyue's business community. It is precisely this stumbling block, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, that has prevented the Northland Bank from developing its business and has continued to maintain a loss-making state.
"Master, these are all the properties of the Northern Bank in Liyue. Nearly 80% of them are in a loss-making state, and 20% are in a slightly profitable state."
"Not only that, all the businesses of the Northland Bank will be taxed 20% higher than those of other merchants."
"Plus, after the chaos last year, we had to pay a huge amount of compensation. Currently, Northland Bank's cash flow has basically been cut off. Do we need to transfer some Mora from the headquarters?"
Pantalone nodded. The so-called bank is not just a deposit and withdrawal function. The bank uses your money to make its own money. Most of the money you deposit in the bank will be used for investment.
Of course, you don't have to worry about not getting your money back, as Northland Bank still has some credibility.
However, the current cash flow is interrupted. If the people who previously deposited and withdrew money come to withdraw it, the Northland Bank will not be able to take out so much money at once.
This is why Pantalone agreed to transfer Mora from the headquarters. The merchants of Zhidong were having a miserable time in Liyue.
Good, with the regular monthly support from the Northland Bank, otherwise these merchants would have wanted to return to Winter Solstice long ago.
Pantalone was dealing with debts when suddenly he heard a noisy noise outside, which made him very unhappy.
He ordered his servant to go out and take a look. Not long after, the servant came back in a hurry.
"Sir, there are many users who have deposited money in Northland Bank and are now withdrawing money. However, we no longer have enough cash flow for them to withdraw money, which has caused the users outside to be very emotional."
Pantalone had no idea what was happening. He had been watched since the moment he returned to Liyue, and the incident at the bank was just a warning to him.
As for who did this? Pantalone already had a candidate. As Pantalone looked at the Jade Pavilion hanging high above Liyue, a gaze also followed the window and fell towards the North Country Bank below.
Their eyes met the air, and both sides smiled with ambiguous meanings.
"He is indeed a tough opponent. If he doesn't take action, Northland Bank will basically not be able to overcome the current crisis. It will take two or three months to transport the Mora here."
"Just these two or three months are enough to completely consume the reputation that Northland Bank has accumulated over the years. Once a bank loses its reputation, it will not be far from bankruptcy and liquidation."
"What a great girl! Now it seems I have to go to the Jade Pavilion."
Pantalone packed up and walked towards the Jade Pavilion.
「Fontainebleau, West Side of the Autumnal Equinox」
Tartaglia did not take the patrol ship, and the special patrol team still followed behind him.
Tartaglia was completely speechless. He didn't understand why these people followed him without robbing him or fighting with him.
If the young master had not specifically asked Mr. Zhongli about the situation in Fontaine before leaving, Mr. Zhongli would have reminded him that in Fontaine, no matter what the circumstances, he should not be the first to take action.
Otherwise, if you are caught, no matter what the other party says, you will have to admit the crime. It is precisely because of this situation that Tartaglia has repeatedly tolerated the special patrol team following behind him.
The reason for not taking the patrol boat was to get rid of their pursuit, but who knew that these guys were like dog-skin plasters and could not be shaken off even if we wanted to.
It was already completely dark at this moment, and Australia stopped moving forward. Instead, he built a fire and began to rest.
The special patrol team also followed his example and made a fire and rested not far from Dardalia.
The members of the special patrol team were also discussing how to deal with Tartaglia during their break.
"Going further ahead is Baisong Town. If he enters Baisong Town, it will be extremely difficult for us to capture him."
"The residents there are a bunch of fearless people, that's all, and they are particularly nosy."
"The more the government agencies want to catch someone, the more they want to keep him. Unless we have solid evidence that the person has committed a crime, they will never hand him over to us."
"It's really a headache. The guys in Baisong Town are openly against us. Why hasn't Lord Wright put them on trial yet?"
"What can you do? They haven't committed any crime. You can't just arrest them. If they have committed any crime, Lord Villette would have razed this place to the ground without us having to do anything."
"The key is that the people in Baisong Town are all like monkeys. They will do anything that violates the law."
"For example, we wanted to catch a fugitive a few days ago. Didn't he escape to Baisong Town?"
"The Thorn Rose Society has a nose like a dog. They smelled something and rushed over to protect the person. We said they were obstructing law enforcement, but they said they were just rescuing a stranger who accidentally entered Baisong Town."
"It was not until we showed him the criminal evidence and criminal record as well as a series of relevant documents that the leader of the Thorn Rose Society sent him out to us."
"We reported this matter to Lord Villette, but he said that according to their subjective consciousness, they were indeed only rescuing travelers who accidentally entered Baisong Town."
"Besides, they didn't know the person they rescued was a criminal. It was an unintentional act, so they will not be tried."
The special patrol team seemed to be in a state of depression. They had been following Tartaglia for a whole day, and it seemed that the other party was prepared. No matter how they provoked him, he never took action.
Moreover, Tartaglia was a new traveler, and it was hard not to be suspicious of him being followed by them even though he had no criminal record.
Originally, they wanted to take advantage of Tartaglia's new arrival to commit some crimes so that they would have a reason to arrest him and bring him back to Fontaine, but who knew that Tartaglia did nothing for the whole day, not even spitting.
They had no reason to arrest Tartaglia and bring him back to Fontaine. Above them, a light blue transparent figure could see the entire scene.
This light blue figure was obviously the demon god Fukaros. Fukaros had been patrolling Fontaine since she woke up. After all, she had been asleep for so long.
She was slightly surprised by the changes in Fontaine. Fontaine's technology was not so advanced before. But after only 500 years, Fontaine's technology has become one of the best in the world.
Fucaros, who had just finished patrolling Fontaine, was floating on the ocean of Fontaine. When he drifted to the Autumnal Equinox Mountain, he saw this scene and heard all the conversations of the special training team.
The Special Patrol Team was an elite force in the Law Enforcement Court. She never expected that even such a force had been corrupted.
Although Fucaros was very angry, what could she do for Tartaglia as she was just a soul now?
Suddenly he thought of Yang Ming again, so he flew towards Fontaine without hesitation, and directly entered the Momang Palace. He flew over Villette's office. Villette seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up in the direction of the accommodation area.
Fucaros went straight into Yang Ming's room. There was some surprise in Yang Ming's eyes. He didn't expect that Fucaros would take the initiative to find him. Looking at the water sword condensed behind Fucaros, it proved that he was in a very bad mood.
"Lord Water God, what happened to make you so angry?"
