The [Celestial Secret], [Heavenly Craftsmanship], [Water Classic Annotations], [Cabinet] all turned their eyes to the [Banker]...

The tone of the [Banker].

Is just the prelude to a veto...

They quietly watched the Banker.

The Banker's tone was extremely calm, seemingly dispassionate: "The Treasure of the Vault is extremely important..."

"They are not just treasures, but also have strong effects of suppressing pollution. Recently, the pollutants in the Treasure Vault have been increasing. Although another Mysterious Stone Brick has appeared, as the number of contained pollutants increases and the security zone's shield is eroded day by day by pollution..."

"The situation is not optimistic, I'm afraid the four treasures won't be able to hold. It's only a matter of time before a riot breaks out..."

"[Celestial Secret]...you can foresee that, right? The potential riot factors have already been planted. Once a riot occurs, the casualties we will face to suppress all pollutants might be extremely painful. This is something [Celestial Secret] and [Cabinet] can foresee. So, all four treasures should remain inside the Treasure Vault."

The Banker's analysis was logical and irrefutable.

The Cabinet nodded in deep agreement.

"Although the security zone has protected humanity for nearly two hundred years, these years humanity has not achieved a decisive reversal, but has instead planted some huge hidden dangers. For example, the pollutants in the security zone..."

"It is not hard to predict that a riot will definitely erupt violently in the near future."

Alright.

Is the second bigwig holding a dissenting opinion?

Standing only 1.4 meters tall, [Heavenly Craftsmanship] tapped the table, glancing sideways at everyone: "I deal with the Treasure Vault every day, I'm aware of the seriousness of the riot, but I also know the great merits of the Talisman."

"What I want to ask is, is it really impossible to reward a Treasure of the Vault? Not even for a super genius who single-handedly created a Talismanic System? You have to understand, the Celestial Summit Pavilion has researched these mysterious symbols for a full seventy-three years with no results."

"But now? A genius has deciphered them and delineated a [Small Doubling Treasure Talisman] that boosts efficiency by 50%... It can make our super genius reach high-end combat power in ten years, or even twenty years faster!"

"In other words, twenty years later, more Godslaying Squads will emerge. Such a great achievement, and you actually aren't willing to relent?"

"If we fear a riot, we should throw some pollutants outside the security zone!"

"In any case, cultivating super geniuses is the most important; having people is having everything, don't mistake the lesser for the greater."

The words of the 1.4-meter-tall strong-willed woman caused [Celestial Secret], [Water Classic Annotations], [Cabinet], [Banker] to look at each other in dismay.

They hesitated to speak—this is truly a difficult decision to make!!!!

On one hand, there is the super genius worth rewarding and cultivating, and on the other hand, there is the potential riot and the severe damage that might occur during suppression in the security zone's Treasure Vault.

What should be chosen?

Throwing pollutants outside the security zone?

The threat could be even greater that way.

Each pollutant may not have much of an effect in human hands.

But in the hands of demonic beasts, it could cause human cultivators a significant loss!

These pollutants were suppressed with the lives and blood of human cultivators!!!

The conference room fell into silence.

The five of them once again faced a difficult decision, no choice was truly headache-free.

Finally.

The indifferent, cold Banker pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Coughed a few times.

Then, in a very calm tone, he resolutely said: "Fine. Let him choose a Treasure of the Vault to take away, whether it's the Nameless Heavy Spear, Mysterious Ancient Bricks, Light Turtle Shell, or Jade Pure Willow Wood... Hmm, don't let him take the Jade Pure Willow Wood, its strategic value is the highest."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing the Banker's words.

[Celestial Secret], [Heavenly Craftsmanship], [Water Classic Annotations], [Cabinet] were all surprised.

What is happening?

The Banker, this stingy, cold, and profit-driven guy showed generosity for once?

You know, they've worked alongside the Banker for over a hundred years, well aware of his nature—a relentless machine that never casts a net without seeing a rabbit.

When calculating finances, he is absolutely devoid of any emotion, taking action only for absolute profit.

It is precisely because of this coldness.

That even after two hundred years of arduous struggle, Huaxia's economy remained stable and favorable, never experiencing huge fluctuations.

And he often sees which families, which powers are up to something from the chaotic numbers.

Three days later.

The blade will reach out.

This person is indeed inscrutable.

He would never recklessly agree to Cheng Qi's request.

The Cabinet expressed surprise: "Hmm? [Banker]... do you actually think the gain outweighs the crisis? Offering a reward from the Treasure Vault despite the huge risk of pollution riot does not seem like something you would do at all!!!!"

[Heavenly Craftsmanship] suspiciously scrutinized: "Right, right, for the Banker to make such a decision, has the sun risen from the west today?"

Facing everyone's skepticism.

The Banker gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, his tone calm: "I have my considerations. Think about it, Xu Ran is already able to delineate the [Small Doubling Treasure Talisman]... Doesn't it mean he might also delineate other types of talismans in the future?"

"It is also known that Xu Ran, once on the seventh floor of the security zone's treasure vault, observed the Light Turtle Shell for some time, the chief commander of the Sixth District once described that Xu Ran believed the turtle shell recorded a type of talisman."
