It happened to be evening when Pantalone arrived at the port of Liyue. By the time she reported the list of entourage and cargo to the staff at the dock, it was already the beginning of the festivities. the pavilion.

Liyue's architectural style is completely opposite to the perennially frozen solstice. The warm smoke rises from the chimney of the stove. After stepping on the familiar stone road, Pantalone's footsteps stagnate for a moment for no reason.

Seeing that Pantalone was silent, the butler Russell and the secretary Irina also quietly followed behind the big banker.

Irina, who had come to Liyue to perform a mission before, wanted to lead the way for Pantalone, but was quickly stopped by Russell with her eyes.

Pantalone was originally born in Liyue Port, which is also the source of Mora production in Tivat Continent.

In terms of familiarity with Liyue's terrain, the people who have settled in Liyue for generations may not be as good as this foolish executive, so there is no need for Irina to lead the way.

At this moment, Pantalone is walking up Chihuyan Street, looking at those familiar and unfamiliar streets, feeling the dim lights in Liyue, he thinks for no reason the story of the leader of the seven stars, the power of heaven.

It is rumored that when she was young, Ningguang walked barefoot from Yaoguang Beach to Liyue South Wharf because of poverty, and made a fortune selling fruits.

He has walked no less than that Tianquan star, but why can't he get the approval of the gods?
"Irina, are you sure you have sent someone to Beiguo Bank to notify the person in charge?"

Pantalone looked sideways, the chain of his glasses swayed slightly, and the curvature of his smile was just right and gentle.

Although he was asking about Irina, his gaze stayed on the people of Liyue passing by.

Liyue has just experienced the assassination of the emperor, and the scuffle between the demon god and the immortal family. Most of the residents in the port look coldly at the fools who provoked the incident, and the costumes of Pantalone, Russell and Irina are very unique. Dong's characteristics, so along the way, the people of Liyue who passed by frequently looked back and looked at the three of them with eyes of fear or disgust.

Pantalone was very reserved, and responded with an elegant smile, but the sight of these Liyue people gave him a strange illusion, as if he was still the loser who was kicked out of Liyue.

Originally, after learning of the death of the rock god Morax, Pantalone's inner anger and stubbornness calmed down a little. After all, he didn't need to worry about the dead demon god.

However, in the information sent back by the lady to Zhidong, she mentioned that Morax was not actually dead, but was living leisurely in Liyue Harbor as a "mortal".

"Master Pantalone, as early as when we arrived at Liyue Port, we had already sent the debt collector on board to go to Beiguo Bank to notify the other party in advance."

Irina responded with a cold face, obviously the sight of Liyue residents made her very uncomfortable.

"...with such efficiency, it's no wonder that Liyue's Beiguo Bank is being suppressed by Seven Stars and losing ground."

Pantalone's voice is elegant and gentle, like sunlight falling on soft silk, but the indifference in his tone is like a magnificent long knife, piercing the eardrum of the listener.

That overwhelming emotion only appeared for a brief moment, and then disappeared into the seemingly fragile body.

The housekeeper who has served Pantalone all the year round naturally heard the master's dissatisfaction, and after obtaining the other party's consent, he went to the North Country Bank to check the situation first.

It took half a cup of tea until Pantalone and Irina came to the door of the Northland Bank. The bank manager Andrei and the receptionist Ekaterina came out of the building in a hurry. Covered with beads of sweat, obviously frightened.

Andre is calculating the amount of debts that the Northland Bank needs to pay Liyue, so that Master Pantalone can check it when he comes to Liyue, but this account makes him terrified, almost dizzy, and even the debt handler sent by the harbor has no I can meet you in time.

The lady who was originally stationed at the Northland Bank had already taken a boat to Inazuma to perform the mission long before Pantalone's departure.

The instigator of this huge debt, Your Excellency, after learning that Pantalone is coming to Liyue, made excuses to hide in advance, and now he doesn't know where he is at ease.

Only the poor and helpless Andre was left alone, facing the coming storm alone.

"Master Pantalone, we..."

The moment he saw the rich man, Andre hurriedly nodded and bowed, ready to explain why he couldn't greet him, but Pantalone just narrowed his eyes, put his index finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture.

Feiyunpo Street, where people come and go, is obviously not a place to talk, and Russell, who came to Beiguo Bank in advance, is rearranging the layout of the top office of Beiguo Bank according to the master's habit.

Pantalone and Irina just ignored the two of them and stepped into the gate of Beiguo Bank. When they passed by Andre, the lady in the mirror gave a cold snort of disdain.

When a group of people came to the office on the top floor of Beiguo Bank, Russell had already packed up everything and stood at the door of the room waiting for them.

For Andrei and Ekaterina, the process of welcoming Pantalone was like sleepwalking. They only felt the elegant and sharp winter incense passing through their noses. When they came back to their senses, they He had already appeared in Pantalone's office, standing on the dark carpet woven with red velvet.

"Cough... Manager Andre, please take out the account book of Beiguo Bank."

Russell really couldn't see the trance-like appearance of the two, so he cleared his cough as a reminder. At this moment, Andre looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly took out the simplified bank account book and the original copy of the compensation contract from his arms.

"Master Pantalone, Mr. Russell and Lord Irina, it is really an honor for all of our staff to be able to guide you at the Liyue Branch of Beiguo Bank..."

Andre opened his mouth with a respectful greeting, said a lot of hype and welcome words, and then presented the latest fund records of the Northland Bank.

The rather thick document paper was handed over by Andre, and Irina skillfully arranged the accounts in chronological order and placed them in front of Pantalone's desk.

The big banker twirled the paper with the palm of the jeweled ring, flipping through it casually.

Although Pantalone had browsed through the copy of the contract for trading Rock God's Heart many times when he was on the ship, but after seeing the unequal treaties in the contract and the completely unreasonable expenses in the Northland Bank's books, he was always calm. Even though he was calm, he couldn't avoid breathing stagnation.

Ever since Pantalone became the executive officer of the Fools, she has rarely been swayed by money.

Of course he knew that the Northland Bank opened in Liyue had received Her Majesty's order and was under the full control of the son Dadalia, but Pantalone had never seen such a heart-rending bank in other countries' Northland Bank. The cost of shooting.

A gleam of light flickered in the bright and charming eyes like amethyst, and Pantalone noticed a name that appeared repeatedly on the account.

The guest of the past life hall, Zhongli.

"I want to meet this friend of fools," Pantalone shook the paper, and told Ekaterina who was standing behind Andrei, "in my name, give this guest of the Hall of Death Send an invitation to..."

Pantalone's voice paused for a moment.

"Just ask this Mr. Keqing to tailor a coffin for me. I wonder if he can go to Yue Yunhan Society to discuss this matter with me."

Ekaterina didn't ask any further questions, and upholding the principle of unconditional execution, she bowed her head and left the room to handle the matter after responding.

Ekaterina didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until she sent out the written invitation letter. Looking back, her back was already soaked in cold sweat. Looking at the picture, I suddenly feel how approachable the young master is on weekdays.

Ekaterina has always been proud of being able to serve fools, but this does not mean that she will not be afraid at some junctures.

"A rich man and a young man are completely different existences."

Ekaterina was able to draw such a conclusion from just one meeting.

If it is said that the son is a cheerful brother next door, then when facing Mr. Pantalone, it is like being stared at by some extremely dangerous huge snake, and dare not relax for a moment.

It's just that Ekaterina escaped from the job of the big banker, but Andrei still stood in the office, anxiously waiting for Pantalone to settle the accounts. (end of this chapter)
