The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"Wait a moment, let's report to the boss and let her decide."

The media team did not act on their own initiative, but instead sent someone back to the office to report to Bai Zhi.

"Huh, someone's come to visit me now, wanting to talk business?"

Bai Zhi was a little puzzled. She had just moved here and didn't know many people. Could it be some kind of door-to-door salesperson?

"Yes, Lady Baizhi, that man called himself Valon."

"Valon? Why would that guy come after me? That's strange... Could it be because I interrupted their fight over the talisman, and he's here for revenge?"

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi shook her head again. This was obviously wrong. If it were really about revenge, Valon would not usually take action in person, and he would certainly not greet someone so politely and say that he wanted to visit.

There's clearly something else going on here.

"Lady Baizhi, shall we refuse?" the employee asked respectfully, bowing slightly.

"No, please let him in."

Although she didn't know why Valon was suddenly being so polite, Bai Zhi didn't mind meeting this legendary villain from the original story who managed to turn himself from a gangster boss into a bus driver.

"Madam, my name is Valon. It is a great honor to meet you. Your appearance truly amazes me."

After receiving permission, Valon strode in. When he first saw Bai Zhi, he was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and very politely took off his hat to greet her.

"Mr. Valon, hello. You can call me Bai Zhi. What brings you to my company at this hour?"

Bai Zhi asked frankly.

“Of course, the moment I saw you, I knew we might have a big business deal to discuss,” Valon said elegantly.

"Oh? What kind of big deal is it?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi had a vague idea of ​​what Valon might want to talk to her about.

This guy probably figured out his own needs from his appearance.

As expected of the leader of the Mafia, he seems to have a keen sense for this kind of thing.

Sure enough, Valon said, "I think you'll need something called a charm."

Although she had a premonition in her heart, Bai Zhi was still speechless when Valon actually voiced his thoughts.

"It really is true, Holy Lord. Look at you, even your top general betrayed you without hesitation."

Bai Zhi thought to herself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

But nothing was visible on his face.

“I am naturally interested in the spells Mr. Valon mentioned, and although this is our first meeting, I feel an instant connection with Mr. Valon.”

"Of course, I also hit it off with Miss Bai Zhi at first sight, and I believe that Miss Bai Zhi must also be a person with great insight in business."

"Haha, I think so too. I do have some business acumen, such as trusting those you employ and not employing those you don't trust. So, to express my trust..."

"Snapped!"

A dull thud sounded, and a bulging burlap sack, which took two hands to close, was abruptly placed on the table.

“Mr. Valon, this is the trust I’m trying to express. You can have this bag first, and if you can bring back just one talisman, I’ll give you two boxes.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said that when dealing with Valon, nothing else mattered; only this trick was effective.

After all, in the original story, when faced with those powerful talismans, he had no interest whatsoever; all he wanted was to get the treasure and exchange it for money.

And coincidentally, she has so much money that she has enough time to flood the planet.

"This is?"

Hearing the clanging of metal inside the burlap sack, Valon's heart leaped into his throat.

"It's what you wanted. No problem, feel free to look through it. Consider this bag a toast to our trust, isn't it?"

Bai Zhi extended her right hand to the burlap sack, gesturing for it to come.

The gold coins that are of no use to her are worth it to hire Valon, a master craftsman.

"Of course, our friendship was destined from the very first meeting."

Valon couldn't hold back any longer; he was eager to know if this bag contained the things he was thinking of.

When he got to the table, he first tried lifting the bag, and compared to its size, its weight was quite astonishing.

He estimated that it must weigh at least 20 kilograms.

If everything is as I imagine, this bag alone would be worth at least 140,000 to 150,000 US dollars. If it were a whole box...

That box must be worth hundreds of millions of US dollars, if you could collect all 12...

At that time, the world's richest person had only 70 billion in assets.

If he had gold worth 200 million to nearly 300 million, he would be invincible.

295 Valon almost cried, Bai Zhi is so good!

With excitement, Valon slowly opened the bag. The golden reflection shone into his eyes, making him gasp for breath.

He reached out and squeezed the gold coin. Without a doubt, the feel and the sound of it clinking together indicated that it was gold, and of extremely high purity.

Touching these gold coins, Valon almost cried.

Having followed the Holy Lord for so long, I've spent a lot of money, but not only has my main job fallen behind, I've also suffered all sorts of setbacks and am almost bankrupt. In the end, I haven't gotten a single penny from the Holy Lord and I'm constantly being scolded.

And here, on our first meeting, they gave me such a big bag of gold coins for free.

The two are simply not in the same league.

You say they're all dragons, so why is there such a big difference?

“Miss Baizhi, I appreciate your friendship. I will do my best to collect the talismans for you. You can rest assured that the Black Hand Gang will handle things properly.”

After calming down, Valon patted his chest and solemnly assured him.

"Of course, I have faith in the Mafia's capabilities, which is why we invested in Mr. Valon."

Bai Zhi wholeheartedly agreed. Although Valon often suffered setbacks in the original story, his abilities were still quite impressive. Becoming the leader of the Mafia was not something a spoiled young master could achieve.

However, due to the balance of Yin and Yang, the righteous energy on Jackie Chan's side was greatly enhanced to various degrees, to the point that even an archaeologist could fight these professional gangs and shadow legions head-on.

Even so, they could frequently obtain talismans, indicating that their abilities were definitely powerful.

Valon nodded solemnly.

Listen to this, Holy Lord, you old fool, listen carefully. How nicely they speak! They immediately express their belief in my abilities and even invest heavily in me.

All you do is make empty promises, and that's not all; you also constantly insult us.

People are like heaven and earth when you don't compare them to others.

"Oh, by the way, if Mr. Valmont can collect any other strange and unusual things, I'll buy them too. I definitely won't let you suffer any losses!"

These words made Valon's eyes light up. This was great! There were only 12 talismans, but he knew of quite a few other strange and unusual things.

He used to look down on these things because they couldn't be exchanged for money.

But now, being able to exchange it for money would be a huge benefit!

"Thank you for your appreciation. I won't bother you any longer. I'll go back and arrange for people to collect talismans and other items."

Valon's attitude changed from being slightly arrogant at the beginning to now bowing slightly and listening attentively to Bai Zhi, who was sitting in her seat.

"Hehe, I really admire Mr. Valon's decisive and efficient work attitude. Let's go, I'll personally see you out."

"How can that be? You are our big spender."

"It's alright. I value capable people. Money is just a way for me to show my attitude, but people should always be respected."

Bai Zhi smiled slightly, and Valon immediately felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, which made him even more annoyed by the person's bad attitude.

“Well… thank you for your help.” Valon hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, “What is your relationship with Shendu?”

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "What do you think their relationship is?"

"Ahem, I understand. Your style of doing things is so different from that of the Holy Lord. I think that even as father and daughter, you are much better than him."

Valon immediately understood. Compared to the brutal methods of the Holy Lord, Bai Zhi's style of doing things was full of a kind of business elegance. She must have grown up in a different environment than that old man, the Holy Lord.

His mind immediately conjured up all sorts of dramatic scenarios in which the old man, the Holy Lord, neglected his daughter, and she then had to fend for herself in society.

In his view, it was perfectly normal for the Holy Lord, that untrustworthy old man who only knew how to make empty promises, to do such a thing.

Bai Zhi fell silent, then shook her head noncommittally. "I forgot to tell you, my title is also Holy Lord, but the Holy Lord I represent is civilization and elegance, not violence and destruction. Do you understand?"

"Of course, I will always remember your elegance."

"Very well, let's go."

Bai Zhi took the lead and walked ahead, while Valon followed behind, carrying a large bag of gold coins in his arms with a big smile on his face.

When they arrived at the door, Afen, Lasu, Zhou, and Afu were waiting there, looking rather bored.

"Boss, you're finally out."

Upon seeing their leader emerge, the group immediately stood up straight.

"Gentlemen, it hasn't been long since we last met. Although the first meeting wasn't very pleasant, I had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Valon."

“That’s right, I had a very pleasant conversation with Saintess Baizhi. You lot, quickly pay your respects.”

Valon, clutching the bag of gold coins, hurriedly said, afraid that his few foolish subordinates would leave a bad impression on Bai Zhi.

This is a rare, outrageously generous big spender; we can't afford to be negligent in the slightest.

"Huh?" Afen and the others looked at each other, wondering what was going on. Why did their boss suddenly say that?

Didn't they come here looking rather aggressive?

"What are you 'ah' about? Hurry up!"

Seeing his subordinates so uncooperative, Valon said with exasperation.

Do you even know how hard it is for your boss to find an investor?

"Hello, Miss Baizhi!"

Although they were somewhat confused, they still obediently bowed.

"Very good. Although we had a bit of a conflict last time, it has now been resolved. You will be working hard on many things going forward, so please consider these items as a token of our appreciation."

Bai Zhi said very generously.

"This is?"

Seeing the dozen or so gold coins in Bai Zhi's hand, the group seemed puzzled and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Only Ah Fen was beaming with excitement.

If what he saw before was correct, these things...

"Here you go, take it, use it as pocket money."

"Thank you, Miss Bai Zhi!!"

Amidst the bewildered looks of the others, Afen immediately took the gold coins from Baizhi's hand.

"This is all real gold. Have you forgotten what we saw people exchanging it for money before?"

After returning to the group with the gold coins, A-Fen immediately whispered something.

At this moment, the eyes of the group of people who recalled the scene became burning with passion, and even Afu's expression changed.

Although he was a martial arts fanatic and not particularly obsessed with money, in this society, where is money not needed? Bai Zhi's generosity naturally made him feel much better.

296 Holy Lord: I know how to determine if she is my daughter.

"Boss, Miss Bai Zhi is so generous. She just casually took out this much money, and then she kindly used the power of the horse talisman to heal our bodies. I feel so relaxed now."

Sitting in the car, driving back to his old home, Lasu said something rather simple and honest.

"Yes, yes, how generous! We were so stupid before, we actually dared to lay a hand on Miss Baizhi. Every time I think about it, I want to slap myself."

Ah Fen chimed in, and the others nodded in agreement.
