World-Ending Demon Emperor

Yin Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi flashed a smile, raised his glass, and said, "We need to weave a net so tight that once anyone falls into it, there is no escape—not by force, nor by soft methods."

Suo Lun said, "Interest groups are ferocious beasts, capable of devouring everything. Gold Coins are even more terrifying beasts; once released, it’s impossible to cage them again. King Quo Bian was formidable, strictly defending against us, not allowing us to invest in the official Rage Wave Kingdom financial institutions, not permitting us to partake in land transactions, forbidding us from participating in military provisions trading. But once Zhi Li came to power, everything was relaxed all at once. With astronomical sums of money, we easily seized these economic high grounds in the Rage Wave Kingdom, cultivating a massive interest group. Now, no one can change this—no matter who sits on the throne, they must listen to us, or they wouldn’t even have the chance to pay their soldiers. Without our support, their commands won’t even make it out of the palace."

Fang Qingyi responded, "Exactly, so do not fear borrowing money. Whether it’s Zhi Li or Suo Lun, anyone willing to borrow is a good puppet. The more they borrow, the better; it’s just money going from our left hand to our right."

Suo Lun laughed and said, "Seeing Suo Lun’s pale little face today, he really was prettier than a woman, stirring up a bit of pity and a flutter in my heart."

The Finance Minister Suo Lun, who is a lover of beautiful boys, does not discriminate between genders.

Fang Qingyi glanced over and said, "What? Thinking of making him your bed partner? Once he owes us ten million Gold Coins, maybe you really will have that chance."

"Ha ha ha..." Suo Lun said, "If I were to dabble with Suo Lun, then what would that make me and Zhi Yan? Ha ha ha..."

Just then, outside, there was a sudden sound of intense horse hooves and orderly, urgent footsteps.

Fang Qingyi frowned and asked, "What’s going on?"
