93: Chapter 93: Billions in Hand!
"Reporting, Commander, we have confiscated a total of 10 billion!"
Commander Zhang Biao knelt on one knee and held the black card above his head with both hands.
An anonymous black card.
In Great Xia, this type of card is the top-tier hard currency; it recognizes the card, not the person.
Li Zhengyang looked down at the card, his eyelids twitching.
Ten billion.
How many magical beasts would one have to kill to accumulate this much?
A usury company in an inland city like Dongcheng, relying on sucking people's blood, had actually amassed such a huge fortune.
He didn't stand on ceremony, reaching out to snatch the card.
"This illicit money is the spoils of war for the Pojun Division. As the Minister of the Northern Territory, I will keep it in custody to be used as a construction fund for the Northern Territory defense line."
Li Zhengyang said righteously.
Commander Zhang Biao agreed: "It is all up to you, Commander!"
He tucked the black card into his pocket.
In his mind, a crisp notification sound rang out right on time.
[Funds detected!]
[Current account balance: 10,005,620,000 Yuan]
It had broken ten billion.
Li Zhengyang could barely keep his lips from curling up.
Ten billion; what level could this push his cultivation to?
How many of those items in the shop that he usually didn't even dare to look at could he buy?
This trip to Dongcheng was absolutely worth it.
At this moment, a commotion broke out inside the building.
A squad of City Defense Army soldiers marched out, escorting dozens of men in suits.
"Move faster!"
This group consisted entirely of the executives from Spark Finance who had been dragged out.
Each of them was pale as a sheet. These respectable people who usually commanded the wind and rain in Dongcheng were now like stray dogs, kicked onto their knees in the middle of the street.
"Commander! The interior of the building has been cleared! The underground blood pool has been sealed, and the trapped personnel are being rescued!"
A captain ran over to salute and report.
Li Zhengyang nodded in acknowledgment.
He carried the dragon spear and walked slowly toward the group of executives.
Sun Decai was also dragged over and thrown together with this group.
His limbs had been crippled, and blood from his wounds pooled on the ground.
Seeing Li Zhengyang approach, he began to squirm frantically on the ground.
"Dad! Daddy Li!"
Sun Decai begged desperately: "Dad, we have a history! When you borrowed money from me in the past, I even waived the handling fees for you! For the sake of our old friendship, please spare my dog life!"
Li Zhengyang held the dragon spear and stopped in front of the crowd.
"Friendship?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Seeing that Li Zhengyang had responded, Sun Decai thought he had grabbed a lifeline: "It was my subordinates who didn't know better; their attitude when collecting debts was bad. But I didn't know!"
"If I had known it was you, how would I have dared to ask for money! Just treat me like a fart and let me go; I'll roll out of Great Xia right now and never be an eyesore to you again!"
Several executives nearby also began kowtowing frantically.
"Sir! We are just employees! This was all forced by Sun Decai!"
"We didn't kill anyone! We were only responsible for the accounting!"
"Please send us to the City Defense Army military court! We plead guilty! We'll go to jail!"
They shouted, begging to go to court.
If they went to court, they could still hire a lawyer to go through the motions, and perhaps they could save their lives.
If they fell into the hands of the god of slaughter before them—who had killed an Overlord Level demon with a single spear thrust—everything would be over.
Li Zhengyang chuckled, the tip of the dragon spear pressing against Sun Decai's forehead.
"Go to court?"
The executives looked up, their eyes lighting up.
"Do you think the laws of Great Xia are meant for scum like you?"
Internal energy exploded, and the dragon scale patterns shone brightly.
The dragon spear swept out without warning.
The pleas for mercy stopped abruptly.
Sun Decai's mouth hung half-open, and a thin red line appeared on his neck.
Dozens of heads slid off in unison, rolling onto the ground.
The scene fell into instant, deathly silence.
On the outskirts of the street, the people of Dongcheng were stunned by this scene.
No one expected that this Pojun Division commander wouldn't even go through the questioning procedure, but would instead just execute all these dozens of scourges right on the street.
After a few seconds of silence.
Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Well killed! Well killed!"
This shout instantly ignited the entire crowd.
"They deserved to die! These blood-sucking animals should have died long ago!"
"Still want to go to court? Go to the underworld and find the King of Hell to go to court!"
"Long live the Commander! Long live the Pojun Division!"
Those who had been oppressed and exploited finally released their pent-up emotions at this moment.
Across the cordon, they bowed in the direction of Li Zhengyang.
Li Zhengyang raised his arm, shaking the remaining blood off the dragon spear.
He strode to the edge of the deep pit and picked up the severed corpse of Xue You with one hand.
"Commander Zhang Biao."
Commander Zhang Biao quickly ran over and stood at attention: "Please give your orders, Commander!"
"I'll leave the aftermath to you; make sure the people rescued from the basement are settled properly. If anyone dares to stop you, use my name."
Commander Zhang Biao nodded vigorously: "Understood, Commander! Don't worry, I will handle it personally, and I will ensure there are no lingering troubles!"
Li Zhengyang didn't spare another glance at the corpses on the ground.
He turned around, carrying the severed corpse of Xue You, and walked toward the pojun no. 1 fighter jet parked not far away.
The cabin door of the fighter jet had already opened.
The engines started, spewing tail flames.
Boom!
The fighter jet shot straight into the clouds, turning into a streak of light as it flew directly toward the Northern Territory.
Inside the cabin.
Li Zhengyang tossed Xue You's corpse into a corner and didn't bother with it anymore.
Bringing this thing back to the Northern Territory would still be useful to intimidate those restless people, and he could also exchange it for some military merits at the Research Department; it served multiple purposes.
He leaned back in his seat and let out a long breath.
This trip to Dongcheng wasn't exactly easy, but the harvest was truly top-tier.
Li Zhengyang raised his hand and tapped on his tactical watch.
He went directly into the Pojun Division high-end shop.
A holographic projection screen unfolded before his eyes.
In the account balance column: over ten billion.
Looking at this number made him feel completely comfortable.
Back when he was poor, looking at the items in this high-end shop was like reading a heavenly book.
Things were different now.
Li Zhengyang rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining brightly.
