After settling down the old man, Hua Ruge went to the front hall. Because of her return yesterday, it was extremely noisy, and now, even the manager of her business had come, he wanted to make a report on her departure for the past year.
She walked into the front hall and saw that her twenty-odd shopkeepers were standing respectfully in two rows.
After taking a quick glance, she sat down on the seat of honor and waved her hand, "There's no need to stand on ceremony. Take a seat."
As she was familiar with most of these people, she spoke very casually. She really liked this kind of situation where one did not need to put on airs.
However, she was relaxed. The people under her were not relaxed at all. The gazes they looked at her with were both awe-inspiring and cautious. It was quite different from how it was in the past.
It was not their fault that they had such a weak tolerance in their hearts. A rather ordinary boss had suddenly become a stunning beauty, and also the overlord of Eastern Continent.
Any one of these points could be passed down as a legend. They couldn't possibly combine such a character with becoming a businessman.
Seeing that, Hua Ruge laughed: "We used to be what we are, there is no need to hold on, I will not eat people, sit down."
The tone was the same as before.
These people did not dare to disobey him, and they all sat down.
"That's right." Hua Ruge said in satisfaction before asking again, "Has everyone been doing well recently? Is there anyone here to cause trouble? "
The shopkeepers all shook their heads when she asked that, and the shopkeeper at the very front said, "Return to our boss, Protector Liu is watching over us, no one dares to cause trouble, it's just that the disciples of the Protector Zhao often eat and don't pay, sometimes they come just with a hundred people, so they owe us a lot of money."
Hua Ruge slightly raised his brows: "You aren't paying?"
"Yes, those people are very fierce, we do not dare to take them forcefully, and the administration does not dare to bother with the Lord Protector's subordinates either, so we will always owe them." Sun Batian said from the side.
"Is there anyone else?" Hua Ruge continued to ask.
"There's nothing else." Everyone shook their heads.
Hua Ruge nodded his head and instructed Sun Batian: "Later on, turn around and turn over all the money owed by the Protector Zhao's underlings ten times. Give him the bill according to this sum and tell him that it's time to settle the bill."
"Ten times?" Sun Batian thought for a while before continuing, "I knew it would be interest."
"That's right, he even dares to eat my Overlord Dinner. I wonder who gave him the guts to do so?" Hua Ruge said in disdain.
All of the managers below felt that following such a boss was tough enough.
Because Hua Ruge was not too good at looking at account books, he sent his people away when he reported the details of the event. He said that he would send someone to check the accounts in the future, but only take so long to earn a profit, that was over a hundred million High-Grade Spirit Crystal.
After doing all this, the shopkeepers left.
Hua Ruge patted the dust off his body, and returned to the rear hall to accompany the child.
He had been sending people to raise money. Previously, he thought that Hua Ruge would definitely not be able to return after fighting against the Twelve Great Temples, but later on, he felt that even if Hua Ruge managed to escape, he might not be able to return to this small place.
However, he never expected that Hua Ruge would actually come back. With Hua Ruge's current strength and power, how could he dare go against him?
However, they did not expect that after collecting the eight million spirit crystals, Hua Ruge's bill would be delivered to them and they had to pay it back.
Protector Zhao's eyes went straight to the point when he saw the bill. It was not easy to get eight million, not to mention eighty million.
He was well aware of Hua Ruge's intentions. He was punishing them, and it would be fine if he gave them the money, but if he did not give them the money, it was unknown whether or not he could keep his life.
However, it was true that he did not have that much money on him alone, so he could only request an audience with the Hall Master.
When the Hall Master of the Red Flame Temple heard this, he was so frightened that he pulled off his beard. He smacked the table and said, "You don't want to live anymore, you still dare to provoke her?"
The current Hua Ruge and the others were gods of death to them. They had already killed people from Twelve Temples, so how could they be short of a small shrine?
"Hallmaster is aware that this subordinate has done these things in the past. I didn't expect her to return." Protector Zhao kneeled on the ground and kowtowed.
The hall master didn't have a better way to calm down, so he said, "I'll give you these Spirit Crystals Shrine. If that Overlord forgives you, then it's your fate. If he doesn't, then you can just wait for death."
"Thank you, Hall Master." Protector Zhao bowed his head repeatedly.
The hall master waved his hands grumpily.
That was eighty million ah, not long after he got it from the Blackwater Shrine, it was gone in a blink of an eye, his heart ached.
Protector Zhao left in a dejected manner. On the second day, he received the money and directly brought it to Hua Ruge's residence.
However, the person on the door said that Hua Ruge was not there, so he could only wait inside the hall.
Hua Ruge went out today because he thought that he should go see his good friend, so he went straight to the Public Office.
"Zhao Tou, how are you guys?" Hua Ruge immediately walked into the room and said to the few people who were gambling.
The current Hua Ruge was wearing a cyan colored long skirt and was simple yet elegant and low-key. However, now he looked even more like a fairy that was untainted by the mundane world.
Although they all had the same appearance, the few of them were still stunned when they saw this.
"I already said that if you're a girl, you might be able to bewitch many men. I never would have thought that I was right." A bailiff was the first to speak.
Hua Ruge laughed as he walked in: "Big brother is too kind, but it's just a set of skin, even if it can't be eaten or drunk, it doesn't matter what it looks like."
The few of them smiled, and the atmosphere eased up a lot.
Zhao Tou walked over and said, "Have you not seen Lord Administrator yet?"
"Not yet. I came to say hello to my brothers first." Hua Ruge said.
"Let me first bring you to see the Lord Administrator. He has been missing you ever since he returned from the Thunder God Temple." Zhao Tou said.
Normally, when he walked over, he would place his hand on Hua Ruge's shoulder, but now that he knew she was a woman, he restrained himself.
Hua Ruge nodded, then turned to the other officials and said: "Brothers, I will treat everyone to a drink in a while, you must all enjoy yourself."

"We'll definitely go together. It's been so long since we've seen each other, we need to get together properly." A bailiff said.
The other officials nodded in agreement.
Hua Ruge went to the backyard and paid his respects to Administrator. When Administrator saw Hua Ruge, he was also very close, so he ordered his servants to set up a big table, and invited them to come over. He insisted that Hua Ruge tell him what had happened after the Thunder God Temple battle.
Hua Ruge didn't think that Administrator would be so gossipy at such an age, so he could only smile and say: "Alright, then I'll talk about something important."
The other officials all pricked up their ears and waited.
From the time they returned, there had been various rumors spreading around, but since they knew that they could not completely trust the rumors, they wanted to hear it from Hua Ruge himself.
Hua Ruge felt that it was better not to be too specific on the table. Hence, he only gave a general idea of what happened, and lightly explained the matter of them killing the people of the Divine Palace.
But even so, the people at the table were still dumbstruck when they heard it, even Administrator himself had gulped down a few cups of wine, as though he did not want to show any signs of losing his composure.
When she finished speaking, Zhao Tou was the first to speak: "So this is all true. The rumors weren't fake."
"Yeah, I thought the rumors had exaggerated it a lot. I didn't expect it to be so reliable this time." The others were also speechless.
Director General placed his wine cup on the table and said, "Alright, you little girl. Right now, because you have lived up to your expectations, those divine hall disciples and even elders have been very polite to me when they saw me.
"That's right. The Public Office's words are even more effective than the Hall of Enforcement in the shrine." The other officials also said.
When Hua Ruge heard that, he laughed: "That's a good thing, our administration is strict with rules, and should be overseeing things a lot."
"It's all thanks to you. Come, let us toast to you." The Director General raised his cup and said.
"I dare not accept it, I also respect everyone." Hua Ruge immediately stood up.
Everyone ate and chatted, and after drinking, they even played cards for a while. Hua Ruge had always been weak in this area, after drinking, his mind became even more hazy, so he had lost a lot of money.
