"It's a bit troublesome."
Yun You carefully pondered over the bar's ledger, a trace of hesitation flashing across her brows.
She actually wanted to sell the bar, after all, she was never good at running a business, and she couldn't afford to waste her precious time on a small bar.
But if she sold it in haste, the bar would fetch only a few tens of thousands at most, which was hardly worth mentioning as a loss.
Honestly, she was indeed a bit hesitant.
And Kasidelle, beside her, also noticed her worry.
"How about... simply not selling it? Let's run it ourselves?"
Kasidelle leaned over carefully and said, "When the Insect Gang had just finished renovating the bar, the monthly turnover here could reach over a hundred thousand, with a net profit of at least 50%, which is fifty thousand a month."
"I think if we do it ourselves, we certainly won't be worse than the Insect Gang."
"But I don't have time..."
Yun You instinctively responded.
"It's okay! That Qian Sanjin guy is usually busy too, almost everything is left to his subordinates to do."
Kasidelle quietly added, "If you trust me, you can leave it to me... we'll split the profits 30-70, me 30 and you 70."
"I guarantee... I will definitely run this place better than before. In the future, it will not just be a bar, but a super entertainment center combining drinks, dining, commercial shopping, and arena competitions!"
"If given the chance, we might even delve into things like chip prosthetic bodies later on. That's the real way to make big money. I heard many giant enterprises started like this..."
"Youyou, don't you want to see a small bar grow into a giant of Nest City, to become an enormous enterprise capable of influencing the fate of the whole city?"
"..."
Hearing such an ambitious goal, claiming to be unmoved would definitely be a lie.
Yun You was indeed moved.
Moreover, she realized that Kasidelle had this natural talent for "painting grand visions," and she did it so naturally, without any sense of incongruity.
This was truly leadership material!
Just for this grand vision, she was willing to let Kasidelle give it a try!
"Since Dai'Er you are so confident, then go ahead and do it boldly. After all, I was planning to gift it to you anyway."
Yun You made the decision without hesitation, throwing the ledger back at the girl in front of her.
"I don't understand business knowledge, so I won't make random demands and suggestions. Do whatever you want."
"My only requirement is not to sell banned substances. Those things are illegal, and one dose can ruin a person. I don't like that. Also, I don't want our store to become like those gangs."
"Definitely, you can rest assured."
Kasidelle agreed repeatedly.
"My mom became a cyber lunatic because she took too much painkiller, both my dad and I hate that stuff to death, and will never use it to make money."
"That's good."
Yun You nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the messy bar hall and asked, "Do you need anything else? Like weapons, money, furniture, and so on."
"Hmm..."
Kasidelle thought for a while and then shook her head.
"Currently, there's still some stock in the warehouse, and as long as the hall is slightly repaired and reopened, it can start earning money."
"As for weapons, we might need them in the future, but right now we don't even hire a security guard. Buying more weapons is meaningless, the dozen automatic weapons left behind by the Insect Gang are already enough for me."
"What we really need here..."
"Is you."
Kasidelle lifted her head, looking at Yun You.
"Youyou, the news of your impressive deeds here will surely spread throughout R3 Street."
"At that time, you only need to come here every now and then, sit in the store to show you're the owner, and those hooligans and gangs won't dare to cause trouble."
"That's not a problem."
Yun You agreed quite readily.
Although doing so is like leaving everything to Kasidelle, who wouldn't want to be a hands-off boss?
Besides, she was willing to trust Kasidelle.
An ordinary person who can step up in critical moments probably has a reliable character.
So, after some brief instructions, Kasidelle officially became the owner of the bar, and as per Yun You's idea, the bar was renamed — [Brilliance Star], meaning a new star whose light can't be obstructed by even the sun and the moon.
Seeing Kasidelle busy back and forth, Yun You smiled slightly and stopped bothering the girl.
She pushed open the bar door and walked out, greeted by the morning sun.
Yet, just as she stepped out of the bar...
The "X Giant Tower" pattern behind her ear suddenly lit up, emitting a subtle radiance invisible to the naked eye.
Passersby couldn't see it, and naturally, Yun You couldn't see it either.
They overlooked the existence of the pattern.
But...
In another corner of the city, there was a group of people who noticed the pattern.
More accurately, they sensed the aura emitted by the pattern and its appearance's significance.
...
Nest City No. 3, Midtown F Zone, in a shadowy room hidden underground.
In this sunlight-less place, several people cloaked in black robes and wearing silver masks were devoutly kneeling towards a roughly three-meter-high "tower" made of gold in the room's center.
The leader among them was a one-armed man with a terrifying scar from his chin to his ear, which even the mask couldn't fully conceal.
He was holding an incense stick, intending to place it in the censer in front of the Golden Tower.
But at that moment, a window at the base of the Golden Tower suddenly opened with a "bang," emitting a crimson-golden light.
Within the window, the black-robed people could vaguely see a phantom sitting on a Lotus Platform, looking at them with a serene expression.
The black-robed people understood what this meant.
"The Master of the Tower's incarnation has just descended upon the world!"
A short black-robed person widened their eyes and muttered, "The location is R3 Street, the summoner is the Insect Gang."
"And the little one who successfully killed the Master of the Tower's incarnation, seems to be... a teenage girl, much stronger than ordinary people but far inferior to an Apprentice Death God, probably a Death God candidate who took a Genetic Transformation Potion."
"Arhat, sir..."
Speaking, the black-robed person looked at the one-eyed man.
"The Master of the Tower seems quite satisfied with the little one and has specifically marked her with the 'Purification' mark."
"Should we take action?"
"Of course."
The one-eyed man nodded without hesitation, clasping his hands together and bowing deeply towards the Golden Tower several times.
"Now, only my unit has the manpower to execute the 'Purification' mission. The other units are being closely watched by the Death God Organization, absolutely no hope for aid..."
Saying this, the one-eyed man paused for a moment, then looked at a giant man as strong as a door panel beside him.
"Miaojue, this time you will make the move."
"This task is extraordinarily significant. Though the opponent's ability is not strong, they might possess some special technique, otherwise, they couldn't have defeated the Master of the Tower's incarnation."
"You must be cautious, do not be careless, and definitely do not attract the attention of the Apprentice Death God, just bring back her soul."
"Don't worry Arhat, sir, I understand."
The giant man nodded calmly.
"Within a month, I'll bring her soul back completely."
"And should there be any mistake and the Apprentice Death God take notice, I shall eliminate her first, then peel off her face, for a sky burial..."
"No need to worry about me."
The giant man's voice was devoid of any emotion, utterly unconcerned with his own life.
"Very well, proceed then."
The one-eyed man nodded quietly and said, "Upon your success, our 'Seventh Tower' will have another Arhat..."
"Understood."
"Miaojue won't let down the expectations of Arhat and the Master of the Tower."
As the words fell, the giant man's figure gradually transformed into a wisp of gray-blue and vanished into thin air...
Meanwhile, the black-robed people present closed their eyes again, continuing to worship the Golden Tower as if nothing had happened...
