Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2083: Chapter 2083: Light-Year Distance (12)

Du Bang thought he had lost everything, but to his surprise, the tide turned and Chuzheng paid him.

Du Bang was still a bit in disbelief.

"Not enough?" Chuzheng saw Du Bang’s expression and was a bit expectant.

"Enough enough enough!!" Du Bang quickly nodded.

The amount Chuzheng gave was significantly higher than he had expected, how could it not be enough?

Chuzheng disappointedly looked away.

It’s so hard to spend money.

-

"Boss, Bo..." The person who rushed in saw Du Bang fawningly looking at the person in the higher position, and automatically muted the rest of the words.

Du Bang immediately scolded: "Why are you yelling? Don’t you have any manners!"

"..."

The person immediately hung his head, trembling.

Afraid of Chuzheng getting angry, Du Bang glanced at her several times out of the corner of his eye, seeing her coldly examining the Red Copper Crystals in her hand, without any reaction, he quickly turned around and whispered: "What is it?"

"Boss, that... Mr. Haild is here."

The mention of Haild’s name made Du Bang’s expression change significantly.

The Star Coins he just got suddenly felt burning hot.

He had forgotten the most important thing.

The Red Copper Crystals were supposed to be traded with Haild.

Haild is the leader of another Iron Town, and the Red Copper Crystals he had were originally meant to be traded with him...

Isn’t this a complete mess?!

Cold sweat dripped down Du Bang’s face. Trading with Haild was like asking a tiger for its skin, but Du Bang felt he had some power, that this deal could be made.

But now the problem is...

The Red Copper Crystals are gone!

What is he going to use to trade with Haild?

Du Bang glanced in Chuzheng’s direction. Should he... let the two groups fight?

But Du Bang quickly suppressed this thought.

Haild is not easy to deal with, and this woman is even trickier.

Before they even fight, he might get wiped out first.

Du Bang wiped the cold sweat from his face and said to Chuzheng: "Boss, someone is coming downstairs, please have a seat for a moment, I’ll go down and greet them?"

Chuzheng gave him a look: "Mm."

Du Bang quickly left with his people.

As soon as he was out the door, he slapped the back of his follower’s head: "Don’t call me boss!"

She’s the boss now.

"..." The follower was bewildered and asked weakly: "Then... what should I call you?"

"...Sir."

The follower, feeling wronged, said he understood.

-

In the room, as soon as Du Bang left, Legion No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 surrounded her.

"Deputy Inspector Liang, what is Red Copper Crystal?" Legion No. 1 asked curiously.

"You don’t know either?"

Legion No. 1 was bewildered: "Never heard of it." What do you mean either? You don’t know either? If you don’t know, why buy it?

With so many Star Coins, how long would it take them to earn that much in salary?

Is Star Coins your inheritance?

The other few hadn’t seen it either and couldn’t make sense of it.

Chuzheng asked Bastard what this thing was, and Bastard pretended to be dead, not responding at all.

Fine! Let’s see if you still give me tasks!

[...] I didn’t hear anything.

While Chuzheng was examining the Red Copper Crystals, noise suddenly erupted outside.

"Go check." Chuzheng signaled to Legion No. 1.

Legion No. 1 went out for a quick look and soon returned: "That guy named Du Bang is arguing with another group."

Just as Legion No. 1 reported this, the situation outside escalated from arguing to physical conflict.

Du Bang’s people had just been taught a lesson by Chuzheng, and many were still lying down.

In this fight, they were completely at a disadvantage, with no chance of winning.

Haild had a human-like form, but the outer layer of his head resembled a devil fruit, with dark skin and slightly protruding, intimidating eyes.

This is clearly not the same species...

Chuzheng was using a translator, able to understand Haild’s words.

At this moment, Haild grabbed Du Bang by the collar, fiercely slamming him to the ground: "Where are the goods?"

Du Bang, at least 1.8 meters tall and extremely robust, appeared unusually small in front of Haild.

Chuzheng arrived just in time to witness this scene.

"Haild, don’t go too far!" Du Bang glared fiercely at Haild: "I said I don’t want to trade anymore!"

"Are you playing me? I’ll ask one more time, where are the Red Copper Crystals?!"

"The goods are in my hands; I decide who to trade with. Can you control that?"

Haild, provoked by Du Bang, was furious and was about to punch Du Bang in the face.

Du Bang, intimidated, was already afraid. His mind was filled with thoughts of selling out Chuzheng if Haild truly intended to kill him.

Chuzheng leaned against the rusty railing, watching the people below, her gaze sweeping over them and finally landing on the outskirts of the crowd.

There stood a young boy who, unlike the others focused on the fight, kept scanning the surroundings with his eyes, though it was unclear what he was looking for.

Someone stood beside him, seemingly watching him carefully.

[Hidden Task: Please obtain one Wei Shi Good Person Card and rescue the corrupted Good Person Card.]

Wei Shi...

The name is quite pleasant.

Chuzheng retracted her gaze, lowering her eyes to the ground below. She twirled her fingertips in the air, a silver glow flashed, cascading like a meteor.

Du Bang thought he was about to be beaten and was ready to sell out Chuzheng, but to his surprise, Haild stopped at the last moment.

Du Bang: "..."

Du Bang was almost in tears.

What a day he’s had!

He is, after all, a local boss!

Why is he always the one suffering?

Haild felt something grip his wrist, but there was nothing around him...

What’s going on?

"What did you do?" Haild glared angrily at Du Bang.

Du Bang was lamenting why he was so unlucky when he heard Haild’s question, completely puzzled: "What did I do?"

Haild’s wrist was fixed in mid-air, unable to move.

The slight chill on his wrist, yet nothing visible, nor any sense of danger.

He gestured for Du Bang to look: "What’s going on? What did you do to me?"

"Cough cough..."

Haild’s grip on Du Bang tightened, causing Du Bang to roll his eyes.

"I... I don’t... know..."

"Let him go," Chuzheng finally spoke up when she saw Du Bang nearly being strangled.

The voice came from above, Haild looked up sharply, meeting Chuzheng’s gaze.

The girl’s eyes were calm, coldly watching them from above, her attitude like watching a play...

Haild’s mind raced. He tried moving his arm, finding it still stuck. He reached out but felt nothing.

Chilled at heart, Haild became wary: "You did this?"

"Guess."

The girl’s expressionless reply was strangely unsettling.

Haild’s eyes darkened, releasing Du Bang: "Who are you?"

Chuzheng leaned her elbow on the railing, her tone calm: "Do you want the Red Copper Crystals?"

The mention of Red Copper Crystals instantly tightened the atmosphere.

Haild glanced at the rising Du Bang, then at Chuzheng: "You have it?"

The girl nodded slightly: "I have it."
