Wasting Money to Become an Immortal

Chapter 463: Bribing the people (5)

"Did you hear? The Three Great Families have been scrambling since the ones from the capital arrived."

"Right? It’s just a normal beast wave, but they’re actually bringing people in from the capital."

"No, no, no, I’ve heard that it’s because the Three Great Families have lost the trust of the Nine Tails Emperor. That’s why they’re sending people from the capital here to distract them while they investigate what the Three Great Families have been up to."

"The Three Great Families are finally getting their comeuppance? Now that is something that I want to see."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Are you trying to get all of us in trouble?"

I wasn’t surprised to hear all of this since we had seen how the young masters from the large families had acted.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the families that were in charge of this city were like this as well, then those young masters wouldn’t have acted that way. It was a show of how this city was run in the first place.

But at the same time, it didn’t seem like this was the only reason.

"No, you’re thinking too much. It’s for a much simpler reason than that."

"What do you mean?"

"I’ve heard that there’s a special spirit beast appearing this time, that’s why those young geniuses from the capital are here. They want to take the item from the special spirit beast for themselves."

"What item?"

"If I knew that, would I be here talking to you?"

I couldn’t help feeling that this was also related to why the Nine Tails Emperor sent us off.

This was most likely an item that he had prepared for Mu Bao Bao, but it wasn’t as if he could just take it. He had to let her earn it or else it would be hard for them to justify taking it from families in Four River City.

It seemed that there were many different things that were in play here.

Other than these few rumours, there wasn’t much that was that interesting to listen to and I lost interest in them.

Most of the goals that I set out to accomplish had already been accomplished and it seemed like Mu Bao Bao was fed, so there was no need for us to remain in this place any longer.

But before leaving, there was something that had to be done.

"Go and top up the money for each of the restaurants. Make sure that you throw as much money as possible at them." I said with a wave of my hand to the lackeys.

They gave simple nods before heading off without a word.

Since we were doing this, I was planning to waste as much money as possible.

At the same time, it would be easy for us to bribe the citizens if I let the lackeys show their faces.

There was no doubt that there were people that were curious who it was that was throwing away money like this. I was planning on using this for something else later, so I wanted to make sure that they at least recognized the lackeys.

"Young master, are you already leaving?"

These were the young people that had been recruited to spread the word about this event.

It seemed like they didn’t want to see us leave yet.

But the reason why they didn’t want us to leave yet was because they wanted to earn more money from us. It wasn’t that they actually missed us, it was that we were a big customer that they couldn’t bear to part with.

I just waved my hand at Gao Fu Shuai who stayed by my side and he went forward to toss them a small bag.

When they opened it, they were shocked by what was inside.

"A little gift for your hard work from the young master. Make sure to share it with the others." Gao Fu Shuai said with a faint smile.

The kids quickly nodded before running off.

But before they left, I said, "Tell the one that hired you all to come and meet me tomorrow."

I didn’t say anything else, but Gao Fu Shuai made sure to tell them where our hotel was.

The kids quickly nodded in agreement before running off.

With that, everything was set.

...

"I heard that they stayed all the way until closing time and even then, they didn’t seem like they wanted to leave. Many of them kept the party going all night." The kid reported the moment that we came out.

He had been standing here for a while now from what I could tell, but it seemed like he was filled with energy.

I gave a simple nod to Gao Fu Shuai and he tossed a small bag to the kid.

But the kid just simply returned the bag to Gao Fu Shuai before saying, "Young master, can I be your lackey as well?"

I raised a brow to look at him, but then I shook my head.

It wasn’t as if I was recruiting lackeys from wherever I went. The ones that had been with me had been with me for a while, so I knew that I could trust them.

As for this kid...

Well, we just met yesterday.

But it didn’t seem like he was planning to give up as he said, "Young master, I’ll do whatever you want! Please just let me be your lackey!"

I couldn’t help shaking my head with a faint smile, but I eventually said, "That will depend on your performance."

I knew that it would be impossible to get rid of him that easily, so it was better to keep him by our side until he lost interest.

Right now, there were more important things to do and I needed this kid to do something for me.

With another nod to Gao Fu Shuai, he tossed the small bag back to the kid.

The kid looked like he was about to refuse, but I said, "I need you to do something for me, this is the funds for that."
