Chapter 9 Northland Bank
"Hello, are there any business you need?"
After the two entered the Northland Bank, the Northland Bank's receptionist Ekaterina asked Liu Bai and the others with a professional smile.
Liu Bai looked around vigilantly, making sure that no one else in the Northland Bank paid much attention to this side, then he leaned close to Ekaterina's ear.
"Let me tell you a secret. I am actually the Fatui executive officer..."
"..."
Originally, Ekaterina was a little confused by Liu Bai's mysterious behavior. After hearing Liu Bai's words, she suddenly became expressionless, but because she was wearing a mask on her face, it was difficult to see.
But she had never heard of any executive officer in Liyue right now. Even the two "Lady" and "Young Master" who were said to be coming to Liyue had not set out yet. Right now, almost all the executive officers were staying in the winter.
You told me you were an executive officer? What? You can teleport, right?
Besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen the portraits of those eleven executive officers…
Thinking of this, Ekaterina's expression turned cold.
Although the Northland Bank openly claimed that it had no connection with the Fatui of the Solstice Military, no serious person would believe this. Even she, a receptionist, was an official member of the Fatui.
"Haha, it's rare to see someone who dares to impersonate an executive officer of the Fatui."
Ekaterina pretended to be happy and chuckled. If she didn't want to scare away the other Liyue people in the Northern Bank and affect the reputation of the Northern Bank, she would have subdued this disrespectful person long ago.
"...?"
Seeing that Ekaterina didn't believe him, Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion.
"Hmm... Mr. Mayor seems to have trained me on the code... What was the code?"
Liu Bai remembered that if he wanted the Fatui soldiers to know his identity immediately, there was a specific code, which was usually used when the executive officer did not show up but left orders secretly.
Non-executive officers dare not use this code, otherwise they will die.
But how could he still remember...
Although Liu Bai has been the executive officer for several months, the ordinary Fatui have never seen him in person except for hearing about the twelfth seat. They don't even know his name. He is even more mysterious than the tenth seat.
"Haha, but we at Northland Bank are still very hospitable. Why don't you come with me to the back and have a cup of tea? The manager is here too, so you can talk to him if you have anything to say."
Ekaterina looked around and found that there were quite a lot of people from Liyue who came to handle business today, so she pretended to be enthusiastic and invited Liu Bai.
"Oh, that's a good feeling."
Liu Bai nodded without thinking, pulled Nashida and followed him to a living room decorated elegantly and luxuriously in Liyue style.
Liu Bai already had a favorable impression of Liyue's style because of his identity as a time traveler. When he saw such an elegant room, he couldn't help but look around curiously, and even took a few more glances at the calligraphy on the wall that he couldn't understand at all.
Seeing Liu Bai's appearance as a country boy who had never seen the world, Ekaterina became more certain of her guess and secretly made a gesture with her fingers.
The next moment, two invisible figures quietly approached Liu Bai.
"Huh? What are you doing? I don't owe Brother Fu any money..."
Liu Bai sensed something and looked aside in confusion.
'This is……'
The two debt collectors from the Fool Clan, who had hidden their figures and were invisible to the naked eye, broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads. An invisible aura suddenly suppressed them so much that they dared not move.
In their eyes, Liu Bai was like a sword that was about to pierce their eyes, causing them to feel a stinging pain and fear.
At this moment, a lightsaber appeared out of thin air in Liu Bai's hand, and his aura surged again. For the debt collectors and Ekaterina, it was as if a blade was hanging over their heads, and their bodies knelt down uncontrollably in fear.
"The invisible and intangible lightsaber... Are you Lord [Pure White Lightsaber] Lerch?!"
After Liu Bai took out a lightsaber out of thin air, the two Fire Debt Collectors who were forced to exit their invisible state by kneeling down widened their eyes and asked.
Before Liu Bai became an executive officer, with the martial arts he displayed using the skill [Selfless Sword Qi], he was naturally the elite among the Fatui, so people with good intentions gave him this title.
As the two former debt handlers of elite troops, they would certainly have heard of him.
"That was the name I used two or three years ago... but now please call me Executor-sama."
Liu Bai corrected him seriously, then put away the lightsaber in his hand and released the [Selfless Sword Qi].
Since this skill will automatically summon this lightsaber and equip it in your hand, and the sword energy used is all white, Liu Bai has the title of "Pure White Lightsaber".
"Yes, I am here to see the Executive Officer!"
The two of them half-knelt on the ground and lowered their heads respectfully.
They had heard that there was a new executive officer, although they did not know his name or title, and had never seen the new Fatui executive officer in person. But if this new executive officer was the famous lightsaber from two or three years ago, it would not be surprising...
"My humble servant greets the Executor!"
The two debt collectors confirmed Liu Bai's identity. Ekaterina was frightened and she quickly fell to the ground tremblingly from her kneeling position.
Why would an executive come here secretly without his subordinates or notification, and reveal his identity in such a suspicious way!
The most crucial thing is that this executive has only been in office for a while. She has never seen what he looks like, nor heard his name, let alone seen a portrait!
"..."
In this situation, Liu Bai suddenly wanted to try smiling with a crooked mouth, but he didn't know how to make his mouth crooked so standard, so he just waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, get up. I'm not bothered to care about you this time. I'm here to get the funds for the operation. Brother Fu's notice may not come so soon, but give me 500 million Mora first."
Liu Bai was too lazy to care about these things and just gave them orders.
He doesn't like managing others, otherwise he wouldn't have no trusted subordinates at all.
Therefore, even if he came to Liyue, he had no intention of interfering in the operation of the Northern Bank. He just wanted to concentrate on getting the Heart of God by himself.
"Yes!"
With only 500 million Mora, it was impossible to question the words of an executive, so Ekaterina answered without hesitation, and then quickly got up to find Andre, the manager of the Liyue branch of the Northern Bank.
When Andre learned that the executive officer was coming in person, and that it was the new executive officer whom he had never heard of or seen before, he quickly prepared 500 million Mora and came over in person.
After all, most executives have eccentric personalities, and no one would care if you just got rid of a few of their subordinates. Before you understand the executive's personality, you must try your best to please him.
The number of 500 million Moras is actually not a lot, because Moras have different denominations, otherwise large transactions by top businessmen would have to require dozens of horse-drawn carriages.
And one Mora with the largest denomination is equal to one Mora, so it was enough for him to take out 5000 Moras with the largest denomination from the vault.
Although it was still very heavy, the weight of the Emora was several hundred kilograms. Fortunately, the debt collector had the evil eye so he was very strong and successfully moved the box to the living room.
At this time, Liu Bai had already sat down with Nashida. Ekaterina, who had returned earlier, respectfully helped them make tea and prepare snacks like a servant.
"Andre, the account manager of the Liyue branch of the Northland Bank, greets the executive officer."
"This is the Mora you requested, my Lord."
Andre entered the reception room and guessed at a glance that the strange boy was the new executive officer. He immediately and respectfully instructed the debt collector to put down the box containing Mora.
"Yeah, not bad, efficient enough."
Liu Bai took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction.
Although he doesn't know how to appreciate tea, drinking tea reminds him of his hometown before he traveled through time.
"Haha, sir, just tell me the address, and I will arrange for someone to deliver these Moras properly."
Andre smiled brightly after being praised and made an assurance to Liu Bai.
As a precious metal, even if Mora is not a currency, its value is still unquestionable. However, when Mora is used as a currency, a problem is inevitable.
It was so heavy, almost as heavy as minerals, carrying a pile of mora like a pile of stones hewn from the abyss of layered rock.
Therefore, when rich people today spend a lot of money, they either pay with a bank check or have the bill sent to their home.
