Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Chapter 174: That's How Banks Are (Part 2)


"Because this is Yusef's approval as the Vice Speaker."

Yusef?

Li Ang originally thought he would hear about Rams bribing Malonan or his superior, but Yusef, the Vice Speaker, is a big figure.

The highest authority in the guild is the Knight Resolution Council, comprising the top ten individual Sky Knights and the captains of the top four Sky Knight Orders.

The Knight Resolution Council can select the Guild Affairs Committee, responsible for handling guild matters and stationed in the lower levels of the Council Tower, abbreviated as the Public Affairs Committee.

The Public Affairs Committee manages the Order Sky Knight Corps, the Hall of the Sky Knights, and regional organization halls.

Compared to the cloud-top Knight Resolution Council, the Public Affairs Committee is what ordinary people see as the most powerful.

Since it's a committee, naturally there is a Speaker and a Vice Speaker.

Often, the Speaker of the Resolution Council also serves as the Speaker of the Public Affairs Committee, and this time is no different. Li Ang will see him tomorrow.

And Yusef is the Vice Speaker of the Public Affairs Committee, someone who often steps in to handle affairs when the Speaker is busy.

People may not feel much about the Knight Resolution Council, but when Yusef is mentioned, they all regard him as the second most powerful person in the Holy City.

Li Ang tapped the table; so Rams' connection was with him.

Even though the Holy Capital Bank usually doesn't give face to anyone because of its special status, saving the assets of so many powerful individuals, if it had any ulterior motives, it could create quite a disaster.

Therefore, the Holy Capital Bank is subject to Public Affairs Committee oversight, and Yusef can command them effortlessly.

Having been in the Holy City for many years, Li Ang had personally seen Yusef and knew of his power-hungry and narrow-minded nature.

No wonder Malonan didn't dare to speak, because if Li Ang blew things out of proportion, an ordinary manager like him wouldn't end well.

"What about Yusef," Li Ang said, "Since you have authorization, unfreeze my bank account now."

"I-I can't."

"Why not?"

"Your safe deposit box has already been moved to the deepest part of Headquarters, into 'Vault No. 1.' Only the President has access to it."

"Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?" Li Ang was speechless.

Vault No. 1 is the ultimate vault of the Holy Capital Bank. Since it houses the wealth of so many high-tier Sky Knights and Sky Cavalries, naturally, they built a vault that ordinary people couldn't open.

It's said to be a magic vault personally enchanted by the founder, Fufu Feilin, and only those in the Legendary Realm can break it open directly.

"It was my idea to send it in there," Malonan suddenly confessed.

He was under the control of Spiritual Driving, and indeed, he spoke without holding back.

"You? Why did you come up with such a terrible idea?"

"I heard from the President that Yusef personally instructed this matter, so I thought it couldn't go wrong and suggested it."

"You're truly an excellent lackey."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Li Ang felt helpless against such a person.

"Forget it, call your President over."

"No way!" Malonan suddenly refused loudly.

He still had some fight left in him.

"The President is busy. If he learns I'm under your control and spill everything, he'll certainly fire me, no, he'll throw me to the Bottom of the Sky. I have forty-six loan installments left; I don't want my family burdened with this debt, and I don't want to die!"

Li Ang never imagined that someone daring enough to be a lackey could use their loyalty to their master to lessen the influence of Spiritual Driving.

"If you knew this would happen, why would you add more trouble for someone you've never met like me?" Li Ang asked.

"Isn't it you who asked for it! Yusef and the President said you're opposing the popular First Air Cavalry Corps, and if they don't hold you down, you'll obstruct their cooperation with The Soul Apex."

Malanan fumed with righteous indignation: "What right do you have to obstruct Yusef's path?"

"So not only are you seeking credit but also deliberately trying to mess with me?"

"Yes! Deliberately! What can you do? Do you have proof?"

Li Ang sighed. Originally, he planned to let him have a day off as punishment after asking questions. But after learning this news, he had to consider how to deal with him. He wasn't the instigator, but for such a small-minded person, should he make him run naked around the Holy City?

As for the President and the Vice Speaker of the Public Affairs Committee...

"Do you dare to offend the Vice Speaker of the Public Affairs Committee? Do you dare to offend The Soul Apex? I heard you're the one who was kicked out—"

Just as Li Ang was about to cast a spell while thinking, a small hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Brazenly explaining your misdeeds, you're quite audacious for a small fry."

Elaphia stood on a Flying Blade, coldly looking at Malonan, the light in her eyes like sharp blades, making Niu Nan feel like needles on his back.

"Ah! It's, it's the Lady Councilor!"

Malanan directly knelt on the ground.

"It's the Lady Councilor," Li Ang mimicked Niu Nan's tone but said with a more relaxed smile.

Aifei gave him a stern look, then conjured handcuffs to cuff Malonan.

Li Ang disengaged the Spiritual Driving.

He didn't expect Aifei to come, or rather, it wasn't beyond his expectation. This blonde lady might come to verify if things were handled properly, but Li Ang did not anticipate catching the moment when she overheard the conversation.

From the magic, Malonan was not left with erased memories by Li Ang, because in this situation, letting him remember what he said was better.

At this moment, inside the bank hall, many customers were tense because Elaphia flew in on a flying sword.

This Douding usually wasn't like this in the Holy City.

It wasn't that she didn't fly at the same head level as the tall races, but that she wouldn't step on a flying sword, usually choosing a metal disc, making it look less aggressive, not likely to cause a commotion.
