Chapter 509: Complex interpersonal relationships in the North

"Unfortunately, Lord Famas, now I no longer need to seek the attention of gods, and Mr. Zhongli's target is obviously you, not me."

The approach of Russell and Andre also brought Pantalone back from her thoughts. The big banker spoke kindly and gently, and politely declined Famas's invitation.

"That's a pity, you will miss a wonderful confrontation."

Famas shook his head and spread his hands as if feeling sorry for Pantalone.

"Really? I'd love to hear about Morax's defeat afterwards, but I think I've seen enough confrontations tonight."

After experiencing the twists and turns in the banquet hall and staying up all night, Pantalone seemed to really feel tired. He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, thanking Famas again for his kindness.

At this moment, Russell and Andre also came to Pantalone. The butler, with kindness similar to that of the banker, bowed respectfully to Famas. Although Andre didn't know why, he still followed the butler's instructions.

Etiquette greeting Famas.

Pantalone declined the invitation, and Famas naturally had no intention of forcing him, so after nodding goodbye to each other, the young man turned around and walked towards the alley where the Hall of Purity is located.

Famas suddenly changed his direction of travel, startling little Paimon who was hiding behind a beam and peeping his head out. He hurriedly hid back to the traveler, muttering to himself about what he had seen.

Pantalone was still standing there at this time, watching Famas step into the corner of the alley. It wasn't until the gaze focused on him disappeared that the big banker grinned and began to smile in a low tone.

The syllables could no longer be suppressed and were transmitted from the lips, teeth and tip of the tongue.

He also felt the gaze of the stalker. In addition to looking at Famas, Morax's gaze also stayed briefly on him, exuding a calm but majestic look that made people dare not look directly.

But with the departure of Famas, this gaze has also gone far away, just like in the immortal invitation ceremony many years ago, the Rock King showed his true body and promulgated the oracle for the coming year, while Pantalone hid behind

A glimpse in the crowd.

Although Pantalone's mental condition was worrying, Andre was even more frightened when he saw the executive officer's inexplicable smile. He was walking on thin ice and stayed in place fearfully, fearing that if he made the slightest mistake, he would suffer disaster.

Compared with the manager Andre, the attitude of the old butler Russell is much more natural. After all, it has not been a day or two since his master had this symptom. As long as he does not provoke him at this time, Pantalone himself will get it later.

Back to normal.

The situation was as Russell expected. After a brief rude smile, Pantalone returned to his friendly and gentle appearance. His slightly distant but inexplicably reassuring look reappeared, and he looked like a true gentleman in every gesture.

.

"It's great to see you, Russell. Have you checked the financial statements and tax records of the Liyue branch?"

Pantalone stepped onto the steps of the mahogany-lacquered covered bridge, asked the butler who was following him, and then glanced at Andre who was following him as if unintentionally.

There was a smile on the corner of the banker's mouth, but after being swept by Pantalone's eyes, Andre only felt the biting coldness like falling into an ice cave, as if he was wearing thin clothes and walking in the sky in the winter.

On the snowy tundra.

"Sir, there is nothing wrong with the Liyue Branch's financial report. It can even be said to be detailed and clean."

Russell slowed down slightly and walked in front of Andre, properly separating the two of them, as if he wanted to protect the few talents at Northland Bank.

"Oh...Have you found out the whereabouts of our last executive officer?"

Pantalone didn't care what Russell was thinking, and instead began to ask about Dadalia's whereabouts.

"Not yet. According to some intelligence, the last recorded appearance of Mr. Master was on a merchant ship named Zhutianfang. The traveling companion was the guest of the Palace of Purity that you planned to invite. The man named "Zhongli"

Mr.

After Russell finished speaking, he quietly waited for Pantalone's response. But at this moment, the big banker did not speak. He only smiled and shook his head. The cold air before dawn passed through the corridor bridge, and he seemed to have returned to the extreme cold.

of the Northland.

Pantalone should have gone to Liyue in person to obtain Morax's Heart of God.

This place is his hometown after all. Every muddy winding alley is stained with the blood of his fall, and his tears when he was down are buried under the glazed lilies that bloom and decay year after year.

As a native of Liyue, Pantalone now controls nearly half of the economic lifeline of the Teyvat continent. It is really the most suitable choice to confront the God of Wealth who was a devout believer in the past.

However, the banker declined this task that belonged to him, just walked away and became the person behind the scenes.

Others have long been accustomed to the unpredictable and mysterious actions of this executive, but the banker himself is rarely confused about his actions:

Is it because he has understood the outcome of this game and firmly believes that he can strangle the rock god's heart just by calmly controlling it in the dark? Or, even though he has become a rich man now, his arrogance and arrogance can still not cover up the stubbornness he had when he was young.

The longing and fear of seeing gods?

Pantalone did not dare to doubt or recall the scenes described countless times in her childhood dreams, so she could only resolutely implement her plan step by step.

And as he expected, Dadalia, who went to Liyue on his behalf, soon sent back the news, claiming that Morax was assassinated in an invitation to the Immortal Ceremony.

At that time, Pantalone just adjusted his glasses and smiled. He knew that the lady went to Liyue, and he also knew that Morax was not really assassinated. He even changed his name to Zhongli and swaggered around to enjoy flowers and birds like a mortal.

After this absurd farce, the fools gained the heart of God, but Pantalone still felt lacking, because even after experiencing the devastating war, Morax did not have any embarrassment or anger on his face.

He remembered the lady's description in the letter. The God of Rock, who was high above, overlooking all living beings, handed over the Heart of God with his own hands, and then said lightly:

"Just take it."

The words were as light as clouds, but they pierced Pantalone's strategy and pride like an ice pick from the North. The original indifferent words completely changed his taste when they fell into his heart, and his calm actions were like the ruthless ridicule of the gods.

:

"Take it if you want it. What you regard as a treasure is not worth mentioning to me."

After the farce came to an end, Pantalone realized that both the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Fools were like complacent children singing a childish one-man show in front of Morax.

Only a warrior like Dadalia, who has no wisdom at all, has won the favor of the gods in the farce of trying to please the gods.

How ironic and hilarious.

Pantalone suppressed the urge to laugh loudly, walked slowly to the main entrance of Northland Bank, and suddenly looked up at the window upstairs: "Where is the kid Tok? Is he still in the room on the second floor?"

Russell was almost stumped by Pantalone's sudden inquiry, but he quickly came to his senses and responded immediately: "Master Tok has left Northland Bank with the factory's access documents. According to him, he is going to look for it himself.

Sir."

Pantalone nodded, and Andre, who was always following behind, quickly moved forward and opened the door to the Northland Bank for the banker.
