Chapter 585 - 87: Caught in the Act
"Where did these come from?"
Without bothering to admire the longing look on the Sect Leader’s face, Bingtang picked up those Black Gold Cards and checked them, confirming they were no mere toys.
These were Black Gold Cards issued by Huazhou Bank, exclusive to VIPs, and every VIP who held one of these cards was among the world’s wealthiest.
To give away ten Black Gold Cards so generously, possessing such assets was something even her Bingdai Group couldn’t underestimate.
As the Sect Leader would say, among the circle she knew, these cards were rare and scarce.
This was undoubtedly a colossal entity.
How could this be? It’s impossible.
Bingtang pondered in her heart.
There shouldn’t be anyone this wealthy around the Sect Leader.
The Holy Hall’s company on Jiang Ming’s side was also basically controlled by the Bingdai Group, Flower Fox had fallen into the hands of the Disaster Strategy Bureau, and she knew very clearly about the current financial flows.
During her time in Beihai, she had been keeping an eye on Jiang Si’s movements, except during the college entrance examination, when she was also taking the exam and couldn’t monitor the Sect Leader’s side.
After all, Jiang Si had specifically instructed her not to spy during the exams to ensure fairness.
But during this time, Yu Mo had also been secretly following Jiang Si, and there was no discovery of any unusually wealthy individuals.
In an instant, a long list unfolded in her mind, and then she quickly crossed it out.
In terms of East China, those who held Black Gold Cards, while not all acquaintances, at the very least, Bingtang knew all of them.
She couldn’t think of anyone who would suddenly send so many Black Gold Cards to Jiang Si.
It was unlikely for them to have been stolen or robbed.
The Sect Master wouldn’t stoop to petty theft or coercion.
The Cyan Cloud Sect, as a leader of the righteous path, naturally had to maintain basic social order...
The righteous path...
In a flash of inspiration, Bingtang’s eyes sharpened as her brain lighted up.
The originally erased list in her mind suddenly revealed three new names at the bottom.
Disaster Strategy Bureau, Witch Association, Mirror Country.
Both the Disaster Strategy Bureau and the Witch Association could undoubtedly afford the price!
Their combat power was unquestionable, and equally, their financial power was beyond doubt!
And Mirror Country had even partnered with Si Motu.
Although the Disaster Strategy Bureau also collaborated with the Cyan Cloud Sect, the contact had always been Bingtang herself; Si Motu was the East China representative of the Witch Association, but Jia Lan was always an indirect communicator; yet Mirror Country was different.
Only the Prince of Mirror Country met directly with the Sect Master!
The Prince of Mirror Country was a girl!
In reports and intelligence submitted by the Twin, it not only mentioned that the Prince of Mirror Country was quite wealthy but also showed distinguished looks, and had questionable lifestyle choices.
Recalling when the Twin accompanied the Prince to the Heart Image Remains, having to eat luxurious seafood and drink champagne, and later leaving with a child suffering from gout, crying against her shoulder.
Such a hedonistic and depraved character was highly suspicious!
Could it be her?
Once, she had watched a movie with the Sect Leader, "Sherlock Lupin III: Magical Girl Detective Requiem," and there was a line she remembered clearly — eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!
Bingtang wasn’t very sure because she hadn’t ruled out all impossibilities.
——What if the Black Cards weren’t recently given to the Sect Master?
Thoughts unfurled like a stage play, the moment it opened, ever more bizarre actors would take the stage.
And, there was one more person.
With similar conditions to the Prince, who had more extensive and earlier contact with the Sect Leader.
Especially when they spent a lot of time alone! Even more suspicious.
Unconsciously, her brow furrowed slightly.
"I don’t want to be too disrespectful, you should call over your leader."
Days later, facing the ten Black Cards now, the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Vice Sect Leader Dong Jun recalled the distant afternoon when she first went to turn the strongest Magical Girl from the Disaster Strategy Bureau into an ice block.
Back then, she would never have thought, that "strongest."
Would become the prime suspect in corrupting the Sect Master, the greatest, most notorious suspect in history.
Having a few vague targets in mind, Bingtang asked again, "Where did these come from?"
"Found them."
Zi Yuan averted her gaze, answering somewhat dismissively.
The young Friend Prince showed sincerity, betraying her would seem disloyal.
If treated me as a noble, I shall repay with nobility.
Although the Mirror Country was also destined to be destroyed with the Old World, on account of the young Friend Prince.
At least it could be postponed, not to betray the young Friend Prince’s kindness of ten Black Gold Cards.
Bingtang didn’t press further.
It was likely not a lie, they were indeed found.
But from whom they were found, the Sect Master didn’t seem to want to say.
Bingtang smiled, not too concerned.
After all, they were just a few Black Gold Cards.
Moreover, they were all spoiled now, not difficult to handle.
Still, indeed, the Sect Master should be exposed to money more often.
There wasn’t much money before, the Sect Master didn’t mind, but ultimately, the threshold was too low, occasionally receiving a large sum suddenly, possibly unable to handle it.
Who knows, might get tricked by some unscrupulous woman.
Now that the Cyan Cloud Sect was expanding, more people would want to exploit the Sect Master, she had to be mindful of this...
After thinking it over, she ultimately did not take them away.
If we talk about reissuing, she indeed had some connections, but there was no need.
Even with connections, the risk of a whole ten cards was a bit too much—
If there were any traps, it would be bad for the Cyan Cloud Sect.
It’s certainly not that she didn’t want to help the Sect Master repair the cards.
"These Black Gold Cards need the owner to have them reissued." Bingtang still returned the cards to the Sect Leader, "Other people can’t manage it, they won’t process it for you, you can ask the person who gave you the cards to help you get them reissued."
