Chapter 618 Ekaterina: The bandits are here again!
Shao Yun shrugged calmly and explained, "Why should I take your life? You didn't hurt Ying and Paimeng."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "To be cruel, if it weren't for some reasons you don't know, I would never have interfered with your attack on Funina."
Having said that, Shao Yun glanced at the weapon in his hand, then put it into the holster at his waist with a swift movement, easing the atmosphere at the scene.
"Although you beat Eula half to death, she is still alive. Everything has been resolved."
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun raised a casual smile and said jokingly: "Of course, if you just want to compete with me, then I don't mind fighting with you."
Why one move? Because a duel is decided by one shot, and there can be no second shot.
Arlecino, who had been on edge, finally felt relieved after hearing that Eula was not dead.
When she saw Shao Yun put his weapon back into the holster, she was even more certain that the situation was beginning to become clear, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For Alecino, she is not afraid of fighting with others, but it is a blessing to avoid unnecessary trouble.
She snorted softly, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Oh? So that's how it is. I thought the girl I hurt was dead now, and you wanted to take revenge on me."
Upon hearing that Alechino mistakenly thought he was here to seek revenge, Shao Yun revealed a playful smile and said teasingly: "Haha, so that's why! No wonder you wanted to escape so quickly last night!"
As he spoke, he looked Arlecino up and down with interest.
Then, Shao Yun recalled the Buffati Mansion that seemed to have been looted, and continued to joke: "Besides, now the Buffati Mansion looks like it was robbed by me? There is no one to be seen. Is it because you were afraid of accidental injuries that you asked those children to evacuate?"
Alechino nodded slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "That's right. Who knows if a crazy guy like you might have some unclear relationship with the girl named Eula who looks like me."
Before she finished speaking, an imperceptible strange expression appeared on her originally calm face.
However, when Shao Yun heard Alechino's wild speculation that he and Eula had some kind of strange relationship between a man and a woman, his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Okay, I take back my previous compliment on your intelligence work. Your intelligence work is just as poor as everyone else's."
Although Alechino saw Shao Yun had a sour face, she knew that the situation had eased up, so she reached out her hand again, picked up the cup on the table, brought it to her lips, and took a small sip.
Then she asked slowly, "How is the girl named Eula?"
Shao Yun leaned lazily on the sofa and responded nonchalantly: "Don't worry, she almost died, but she is not dead yet. She is still hanging on. I saved her."
After receiving a reassuring reply, Alecino breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Since you are not here to fight, then why did you come to me?"
Shao Yun sat up straight, and then said bluntly, "This matter is indeed related to Eula, who you beat half to death."
"One price, 10 billion Mora for medical expenses! As long as you hand over the money, I will pretend that what you did last night never happened, and I promise not to tell anyone a word."
Shao Yun's words made Alechino's hand, which was holding the coffee cup, tremble violently, and the coffee in the cup almost spilled out and fell on her legs.
"How much?" Alechino confirmed again in disbelief.
Seeing this, Shao Yun thought that Alechino was trying to cheat and deny his promise, so his face suddenly darkened and his tone became extremely serious.
"Listen carefully, it's 10 billion Mora! I won't repeat it a third time!"
Seeing that Shao Yun was serious, Alechino showed a rare expression of disbelief on his face.
Ten billion Mora can settle this matter...this is too good a deal!
Originally, Alechino thought that Shao Yun would use this matter to threaten him and try to settle the matter in a long-term way, but he didn't expect that it would only take 10 billion Mora to settle the matter!
As the saying goes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a real problem.
What's more, for Alechino, it was out of her own pocket, so naturally she wouldn't feel bad.
So the question is, who will feel sorry?
In order to ensure that everything goes well and make the entire transaction more secure and reliable, Alecino added more chips.
"In that case, I'll be more generous. 15 billion Mora! Just pretend this never happened!"
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun on the opposite side suddenly showed his joy when he heard it, and even almost laughed out loud.
"You Fatui are really rich and powerful! Okay, it's a deal then!" Shao Yun responded while extending his right hand, ready to complete the deal with Alechino.
Seeing this, Alechino quickly reached out his hand to shake it, and agreed: "Deal!"
Then, as if afraid that Shao Yun might suddenly change his mind or regret it, Alecino stood up and urged, "Let's go to the Northland Bank right now to avoid any more trouble!"
Seeing that Arlecchino was about to fulfill her promise so quickly, Shao Yun praised her, "Ms. Arlecchino, you are really decisive and efficient in doing things..."
……
On the other side, the Northland Bank in Fontaine.
Compared with the Bank of Liyue, this Bank of the North located in Fontaine has distinct differences in both appearance and interior decoration, and it displays the strong regional characteristics of Fontaine everywhere.
The interior decoration with blue as the main color gives people a peaceful and soft feeling.
Ekaterina, a member of the Fatui who once worked at Liyue Northern Bank.
After the evacuation from Liyue more than half a year ago, she has now been successfully promoted to the lobby manager of Fontainebleau Bank with her unremitting efforts and outstanding abilities.
Today, she came to her post as usual and silently cheered herself up as usual.
"A new day has come. I must go all out and work hard today!"
Just as Ekaterina was immersed in self-motivated thoughts, the door of the Northland Bank creaked open.
A familiar figure appeared at the door, it was the Fatui executive officer Alechino!
Seeing this, Ekaterina was slightly stunned at first. After all, Alechino would not normally come to the Northland Bank.
However, she is the executive officer and also her leader!
When she thought of this, she smiled professionally and walked forward, about to open her mouth to express her warm welcome: "Hello...ah!!!"
Originally she was full of enthusiasm, but when the person behind Alechino stepped through the door, Ekaterina screamed as if she had seen the end of the world, and her body involuntarily stepped back!
The reason was simple. The person who followed Alechino in was the big bandit "Shao Yun".
At this moment, those past memories about Liyue appeared in Ekaterina's mind.
Last time, the executive officer "Chief" Tartaglia brought Shao Yun here in the same way, which resulted in the Northern Kingdom Bank in Liyue being robbed!
Now, the executive "servant" Alechino has appeared again with Shao Yun. Does this mean that the Northland Bank in Fontaine will repeat the same mistakes and suffer the same misfortune?
At this moment, Ekaterina's heart felt like countless alpacas from Nata were running wildly through her.
But now, since Shao Yun came with Alechino, even though she was extremely reluctant, she did not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, Ekaterina had to pretend to be calm, grit her teeth, and cross her hands on her abdomen. She bowed slightly and asked tremblingly, "Dear servant, I wonder why you are here this time?"
Alechino glanced coldly at the Fatui member in front of him who was trembling with fear, and said expressionlessly and in a cold tone: "Prepare 15 billion Mora for me, quickly! Immediately! Right now!"
When Ekaterina heard that Alechino was asking for such a huge amount of morras, she couldn't help but gasp and secretly groaned in her heart.
She hurriedly explained to Alechino: "My dear servant, please don't embarrass me! How can I have the authority and qualifications to use such a huge amount of funds?"
"I'm not deliberately trying to shirk responsibility. I just can't do anything about it..."
Alechino obviously had no patience for such an explanation. She didn't want to hear it a second time and directly issued the final ultimatum.
"Stop talking nonsense! Either you lead us to the vault immediately, or I will break down the door of the vault myself!"
Faced with Alechino's tough attitude, Catherine knew very well that she could not stop this lady no matter what.
In desperation, she rolled her eyes and came up with a plan. She used the executive officer "rich" Pantalone as a shield, hoping to make Arlecchino retreat.
"But, Servant, the Northland Bank is the property of the executive officer, Rich Man... You have transferred such a large amount of funds without any formalities. If he knew about this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it to him, right?"
Alechino had already seen through Ekaterina's little trick. Wasn't it just because she was afraid of taking responsibility?
"If there's anything, let Pantalone come to me himself! It has nothing to do with you. Now, lead the way and take me to the vault!"
Ekaterina never expected that even the title of "rich man" of the executive officer could not control the "servant". Who told her that being in charge of money can make others obey her? How come this rich man has no status at all!
Things had come to this point, and as the saying goes, "A county magistrate is not as good as a current governor", Ekaterina had no choice but to admit defeat and nodded helplessly, "Yes, sir! I'll take you there right away!"
Having said that, she led the way with great trepidation, taking Alecino and Shao Yun with them towards the vault.
On the way to the vault with Alechino and Shao Yun, Ekaterina muttered to herself as she walked.
“Oh my, what sin have I committed? First I was robbed at the Northern Bank in Liyue, and now I’ve encountered this kind of bad luck again in Fontaine. My life is so miserable…”
