Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

As the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward, not to mention that Ye He threw out 100 million at once.

About three hours later, Ye He noticed that the commotion outside the tavern began to die down.

"Please come in, Miss Gracia, Ye He is waiting for you."

A lady with blood on the corner of her mouth pushed the door open and walked in. She stood at the door and pushed open two doors for Gracia who was outside.

This action almost exhausted her last bit of strength, causing her vision to go black.

The bright lights in the pub were completely unable to save her eyesight, which was fading due to excessive blood loss.

But she still gritted her teeth and persevered to the end, not letting herself fall before this last step.

Gracia was standing outside the tavern with a smile on her face. She didn't say anything, but took a step forward and walked into the tavern obediently.

Even though she seems like nothing happened, her heart is almost dead.

God knows what kind of fierce battle she had witnessed in the past three hours as those thugs who had collected the "full star" bracelets fought for her.

"I...won..."

The lady holding up the door could no longer see anything.

She looked at the place where Ye He had sat before based on her memory, "looked" at Ye He with her eyes that had no focus at all, and gave Ye He a very tragic smile.

"Yes, you win. You are the ultimate winner of this carnival."

Ye He also announced her victory, and after her breath quickly subsided, Ye He continued to say to her:

"Water of Life, 10 million per drop, do you want to exchange it?"

One...ten million?

Gracia, who had just stepped into the tavern, stopped and looked back at the lady who also had a strange expression.

"……Change!"

"Ok!"

Ye He smiled happily, then stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, allowing Camelot to send a drop of water of life into the lady's mouth.

After several seconds, the lady who had been slumped on the ground leaning against the door panel stood up again and glared at Ye He who was opening his mouth like a lion with some resentment.

“This is already a ‘friendly’ price given because you are the champion.

The final price of the water of life, a valuable product that is in short supply, at my auctions has never been less than 15 million per drop."

The "conscientious" businessman Ye He tried to restore his credibility in front of the lady, but he only got a coquettish roll of the eyes from her.

Then she extended her hand to Ye He, indicating that Ye He could hand over the remaining bonus to her.

If Ye He couldn't come up with so much money, she would be really angry.

But Ye He just threw a ring into her hand, and then smiled as she looked at him more and more seriously.

Then Ye He suddenly patted the tavern counter in front of him, causing the baffle in front of the counter to fall, revealing an open wooden cabinet filled with cash.

Before February 2, a total of 1 million federal coins in cash had been piled up here by Ye He. So many days have passed, and no one has noticed that there is so much cash here.

Moreover, Ye He often accompanied the ladies to drink and exercise in this pub, and those ladies didn't even notice the money here.

Even the lady who won in the end, Ye He pressed her face on the counter a few days ago, but she also didn't notice anything.

"They... have always been here?"

The lady obviously also remembered that night. Her expression became subtle and she looked at Ye He helplessly.

This man with a bad taste... is really irresistible!
"Of course!"

Ye He shrugged at her and pointed to the counter front that had fallen to the ground.

Some "words" that could only be seen by the lady who was the final winner began to emerge on the wooden board.

These words were printed on the lady's retina by Camelot. They were an exchange list. For example, the water of life that Ye He had previously offered at 10 million per drop was clearly listed.

At the same time, at the bottom of the list there is a balance of 90 million.

As soon as the lady saw them, she understood that she could use her bonus to exchange the items on the list from Ye He, or she could just take the money and leave.

Ye He waved his hand, letting one-tenth of the cash on the counter fall into the silver ripples. Then he greeted Gracia and motioned her to sit next to him so as not to disturb the ladies' thoughts.

"To be honest...it would be better if you just gave me the 100 million. I can come to see you myself."

As soon as Gracia sat down, she couldn't wait to say this to Ye He.

In fact, she had already guessed Ye He's true purpose, and she also knew that Ye He's current plan had succeeded.

Because the winner hadn't left yet, Gracia didn't say it explicitly.

However, the turmoil in her heart was still beyond words.

Once there is a carnival, there will be a second one. Ye He’s financial resources are even enough to support him to hold a similar "carnival" in every city in the federation.

What really surprised Gracia was that Ye He came to the Federation for the worst reason for her!

Even if Ye He just came back to find Gracia to exercise, Gracia was willing to keep the window open for Ye He.

But Yehe was not coming for himself, but for the entire federation.

"Although this method of destruction is novel and interesting, my intuition tells me that it is too tedious. It must not be a method you can think of."

Gracia stared into Ye He's eyes and asked him curiously:
"Can you tell me who came up with this idea?"

"Your schoolmate."

"My what?"

"Phil Holmes, have you heard of him?"

"So it was her... Well, that's not surprising..."

Although Gracia had never met Fei'er, she had heard of some of the glorious deeds of this junior who was better than her teacher.

"…Wait, how could she possibly give you such advice?"

But when she looked back, Gracia realized another problem.

Even if Phil Holmes was a citizen of the Empire, he has already returned to the Empire.

But if she is really a smart person, it is impossible for her to reveal to Ye He an evil plan that could destroy the Federation.

Because just like now, Ye He will really put it into action and practice, instead of keeping such unrealistic things in his head like them.

"I just asked her for some advice. Oh, have you thought about it?"

Ye He perfunctorily answered Gracia's question. He would not tell Gracia that the plan was to use Caesar to simulate Bruce's voice and secretly get the answer from Fei'er who was drinking. After a minute of selection, the lady who had just won also made her decision.

When Ye He looked at her and asked her the second half of the question, she immediately nodded to Ye He and expressed her thoughts:
"First, three drops of the Water of Life."

"Okay, that's thirty million."

Ye He waved his hand, causing silver ripples to bloom. He took away 30 million in cash from the counter and dropped three bottles of water of life, each containing only one drop, to the winning lady.

"Then there is a 'promise of asylum' for you and a qualification to referee the 'next game'."

The lady who had collected the Water of Life continued to speak to Ye He.

"The referee cannot be a "competitor" at the same time."

"Of course, I understand."

"Okay, so that's thirty million plus twenty million."

This time, Silver Ripple simply took away the 50 million in cash under the counter, leaving the remaining 10 million in cash somewhat lonely in its original place.

The counter, which was originally stuffed full of cash, now looked empty because only one-tenth of the contents were left.

Ye He thought that the lady would take the last 10 million in cash, but she just nodded to Gracia and found a place in the pub to rest alone.

"Oh? She only gave you one tenth of her share, and you agreed to help her win?"

What surprised Ye He was not that Gracia was bribed by this lady, but that the price this lady offered to bribe Gracia was so low.

She could win 100 million! The requirement for the final stage of the competition was that she had to make Gracia "voluntarily" follow her.

According to Ye He's idea, Graceia would at least ask for 30 million. Only 10 million is a bit "kind".

“I’m actually very easy to satisfy.”

Gracia laughed it off to Ye He, trying to get the matter over with.

"If you were content... would you listen to them? Do what they tell you to do?"

Unfortunately, he was not the type to show mercy to others, and he exposed Gracia's lie without hesitation.

When he said that Gracia "did as she was told," he was referring to the time when Gracia took the initiative to visit Ye He after he moved to No. 40 Davo Street and settled there.

Gracia was like a puppet at that time. Apart from making Ye He realize that she was a puppet, she did not ask Ye He for help.

This means that Gracia may have other requests from the person who controls her own power, that is, President Gustav!
But after tonight, none of it matters.

Ye He set the "topic" of the final stage of the competition as an invitation to Gracia.

And in order to win, those thugs must have torn to pieces everyone around her except Gracia.

It can be said that Yehe used this method to destroy Gracia's "other requests" for Gustav and forcibly tied her to his chariot.

"All right……"

Seeing that Ye He had seen through her true purpose, Graceia could only sigh deeply, and then explained to Ye He:
"My father... is now lying in bed, unconscious..."

Gracia's father, the first justice of the Federal Supreme Court, Ye He met him once in South Folia.

But a powerful figure of this level was actually easily cut off by Gustav?

"It wasn't Gustav who did it, but he had a way to make my father sober and healthy again, so let's just assume it was him who did it."

Gracia continued to explain to Ye He, then she suddenly changed the subject and began to smile at Ye He:
"In fact, I have been looking forward to your call, Mr. Ye He."

"Oh, really?"

Ye He blinked and immediately realized that Gracia was pretending.

"Really! Because my father fell down due to some kind of "disease", your water of life will definitely be able to revive him."

So this is what Gracia wanted...

It’s impossible that her family is short of money, but who can blame the water of life for being so priceless?

On the surface, Ye He is the only one in the entire continent who has the water of life, and he is not stingy in using it.

"Of course, I will definitely repay you, dear Mr. Yehe."

Ever since she was enlightened by Ye He, Graceia didn't mind showing her feminine charm to Ye He, and she wanted to invite Ye He to exercise with her in a subtle way.

"No problem! Didn't you just hear it? Ten million for every drop, no cheating!"

Ye He also readily gave Graceia the right to purchase the water of life at a price of "ten million per drop" that the lady had just risked her life to obtain.

Want to get it for free? No way!

Gracia didn't want to get something for free, she immediately explained to Ye He awkwardly:
"Thank you... but I'm afraid... even if we sell everything in our house... we still can't get enough water of life to revive my father... He needs to completely immerse his body in the water of life to completely cure his illness..."

So it’s because of the quantity issue?

Ye He narrowed his eyes at Gracia and began to wonder whether it was worth it for him to do such a great favor to Gracia.

Gracia remained silent, she knew she had done her best and Ye He was not the type to splurge just to work out with the ladies.

Even more unfortunate is that Gracia has trained with Ye He, and she has nothing worthy of Ye He's pursuit in this regard, and is even far inferior to Garcia!

"Okay, you can send your father to the southern part of the continent, and I will take care of the rest."

But in the end, Ye He actually agreed to Gracia's request and regained Gracia's loyalty in an incredible and bloody way.

"……Thanks."

Gracia thanked Ye He sincerely.

As long as my father is safe...

After her father fell ill, Gracia tried to take on the burden her father had previously carried, only to discover that such a huge Supreme Court was not something she could handle just because she wanted to.

She was still too "green", and just a stomping of Gustav's feet was enough to make her panic.

It was not like Gracia had not thought about asking Ye He for help before, but just as she and Ye He had just been struggling with, the amount of water of life needed to save her father was too much, and no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't ask Ye He for help.

Unless, like now, Ye He sent someone to "invite" her over, forced all the questions on her side out of her mouth, and promised to actively provide her with help.

“Satisfied? Now… let’s move on to the next topic.

For example, Gustav, the old federal institute, etc...."

"Wait," Grace suddenly interrupted Ye He and asked him curiously:
"What is the 'Old Institute'? Why haven't I heard of this thing?"
