Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

"Whaaaaaaah?!"

Bai Lu subconsciously put her hands in front of her face and closed her eyes, but when she moved her hands away a few seconds later, she was surprised to find that the ice cone... seemed to have stayed in the air due to her own consciousness?

"...oh?!"

Seeing this rather novel scene, Bai Lu subconsciously stretched out her fingers and directed it twice, only to see that the ice cone also began to move along the predetermined route in midair following her fingers. Obviously, this ability to manipulate ice and frost was now more like an instinct than a spell.

"Although from the perspective of performance, the water control technique of the Chiming tribe is only applicable to water bodies. But water and ice are clearly the same substance, so how can there be any difference in this case..."

"For you, the ability to control water and lightning is more like an instinctive behavior... Then as long as you get used to the existence of ice, you can also classify it as a part of your instinct."

To be honest, Kevin still hasn't really figured out the principles behind the Chiming tribe's magic, but this doesn't really matter.

As long as he can make Bai Lu control her own abilities and not be affected by this instinct, then this special training can be said to be perfect.

"Of course, there is another very important thing..."

As he said that, Kevin suddenly took two steps forward and reached out to touch Bai Lu's tail. After seeing this, the other party did not dodge, but took the initiative to send the tail in front of Kevin, and even shook it mischievously.

But Kevin did not do anything unnecessary. He just gently stretched out his finger and touched the ruler lock behind the tail, and then said slowly: "Remember, this is your power. Don't forget its essence."

"If you think it's necessary one day, you can always take it off."

Of course, if nothing unexpected happened, Kevin would definitely be able to feel the change happening at that time.

All I can say is that he is almost heartbroken because of these children.

"Well, I understand, Brother Kevin!"

Hearing this, Bai Lu not only nodded solemnly, but also wagged her tail a few times.

It's easy to guess who she learned this name and tone from...

Fortunately, Xing and Su Shang might not need him to worry about them anymore. After he stopped training these silly kids, he would probably be able to have a little more free time.

Kevin has discovered that as long as he can quickly hang up this naughty kid before little Ellie does anything naughty, then the whole day will probably be peaceful.

Although this was somewhat unfair to Alicia, at least he could have a whole day of leisure, which he could regard as a reward for all the care he had given to that guy.

But just when Kevin was about to sit back in his rattan chair and read, the door not far away was suddenly opened. Just as the figure was about to step into the door, his right foot accidentally tripped on the threshold and he slid directly to Kevin's feet in a prostrate posture.

But even so, what she was concerned about was not her own injuries, but another thing——

"No, it's bad! Boss Kevin! The company...the company has sent someone over here!"

......Someone coming from the company?

Looking at the little Pardo sliding in front of him, Kevin was stunned at first, and then he slowly figured something out.

Kevin almost forgot that he had just joined the "company" under the instigation of little Pardo. Although he didn't even know the true form of the so-called Interstellar Peace Company, it didn't hurt to have an identity when he went out, not to mention that it was Pardo who personally invited him?

Of course, Kevin was not stupid at all. When he signed the labor contract of the company, he read the entire content carefully - it was not exploitation at all, and it could even be considered a good treatment.

To put it simply, the effect of the contract is that as long as he is willing to admit that he is a partner of the "company" and is able to lend a helping hand when the "company" encounters irresistible force majeure, he can receive generous credit points and a series of special benefits based on time.

Walking in this universe, you don’t have to have a prominent identity, but you can’t be without money, right?

Kevin didn't care what he ate or where he lived, but he would always be accompanied by two little kids, Alicia and Padre, and he couldn't do anything illegal for no reason.

So Kevin signed the contract. Of course, don't think that the so-called Interstellar Peace Company is so considerate. Kevin knew very well why the other party gave such a generous treatment - if he hadn't shown enough value, the other party would certainly not even bother to look at him.

Merchants pursue profits, so as long as you can bring them corresponding value, they will naturally treat you with courtesy. But if one day, you lose this due value, they will definitely abandon you ruthlessly.

However, if you can accurately grasp your own interests and the other party's interests, Kevin even feels that pure businessmen may be much more reliable than most so-called friends.

"You...Aren't we from the 'Company'?"

When it comes to understanding the company, how could Kevin be compared to Paddo, who has been an employee for several years? But no matter how you think about it, there is no need for her to panic like she has stolen someone's money, right?

Wait...could this kid really have done something like that?

There is an old saying that goes - it is difficult to change a person's nature, even if it means changing the country... Considering how little Pardo always liked to take things away, Kevin couldn't help but wonder if this guy accidentally touched something valuable on his body.

"Really? That seems to be the case... Wait, Kevin, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a thief!"

It took Padu's little brain a few seconds to react, but when she saw the look in her boss's eyes, she suddenly realized that the other party wanted to do the splits on her.

She was so angry. Shouldn't her boss be the one who knows her best? Why did he think she would do such a thing?

However, despite this, Little Pardo still hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant, Boss Kevin. What I meant is that the people coming from the 'company' this time are from the Strategic Investment Department! I've heard of them before, and those guys are really brutal!"

"It is said that those people in the Strategic Investment Department always like to make some very risky investments. This includes not only investments in certain industries and individuals, but even entire planets and civilizations can be considered as investment targets by them."

"But don't think they are angel investors because if the value you bring in the future doesn't meet their expectations, they will most likely resort to violent debt collection measures to make you pay back all their previous investment, including the principal and interest!"

Judging from Pado's description alone, the so-called strategic investment department in the "company" is like a group of guys who specialize in loan sharks. If you can repay the loan on time, it's fine. If you can't, a group of big men in black will come to your doorstep to force you to pay back the debt.

In this vast universe, there is no law enforcement organization that can control everything - so as long as the "company"'s reasons are tenable, it is highly likely that no one will care about your life or death.

After saying these words, Padu suddenly hesitated for a long time before he whispered to his boss, "Also, Boss Kevin, if the information I got is correct, after I reported your information on that planet, it was those people from the Strategic Investment Department who bypassed the authority of my original department and directly invited you."

"At that time, I only wanted to get a promotion and a raise, so I didn't think too much about it and just asked you to sign the contract. As a result..."

"You didn't expect that I would become your trusted boss, right?" Before little Pardo could finish her words, Kevin interrupted her directly with a speechless gesture.

It seems that there are no worry-free children around him at all, but he has not yet realized what kind of trouble the other party has caused him.

“Hey hey hey…”

Faced with her boss' helpless expression, Pado could only smile foolishly and scratch her head, not knowing how to respond to him.

"Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean... Uncle Kevin, you are now also a member of the 'company'? Have they... invested a lot in you?"

After standing there blankly and listening for a long time, San Yue Qi finally understood the whole story - to put it simply, because Uncle Kevin is very strong, the people in the "company" decided to invest in this strong man to win him over, so they gave him a lot of money?

"To be honest, I don't know."

If March 7 hadn't suddenly asked, Kevin might not have realized that he seemed to have never registered any "company" credit account for himself, nor had he ever checked whether the other party had brought him corresponding assets.

So Kevin turned his inquiring gaze to little Pardo standing beside him.

"Don't worry, Kevin! We can definitely handle this kind of small matter~" Little Pardo patted his chest and said, "As early as when you signed the contract, we registered a private account for you, and then deposited all the previous one-time investments into it, and automatically purchased a series of financial products!"

"Well... because there are more than just credit points involved in the investment, it's hard to estimate the specific value. But with our operation, it's definitely easy to earn nearly a million in interest a month!"

"......Huh?" ×2

I haven't even seen it! .jpg

Chapter 218: First meeting, my name is Topa

"How much...how much?!"

"The interest alone is...nearly a million?!"

San Yueqi counted on his fingers, not daring to imagine what kind of huge sum of money that would be worth millions of dollars per month.

At least hundreds of millions!

She had never seen so much money before. She had been on the Starry Sky Train since she was rescued from the universe by Walter. To put it nicely, she was an unknown guest fulfilling her destiny, but to put it bluntly... she was just a vagrant!

Although sometimes after they helped a planet deal with a disaster, the other party would always be very enthusiastic about giving them some generous rewards, but Uncle Yang would always push most of them away, and even the remaining ones were all taken care of by the two adults on the train.

March 7 and Xing...these two children are already thankful that they can receive several thousand credit points every month.

In Walter's words - children must not be too rich, otherwise they will be led astray by accident.

But watching others easily making millions of dollars in minutes, and then looking at the pitiful few hundred dollars in your own account, this kind of inferiority-inducing pressure will drive a child crazy, okay!

But you see, Su Chang and Bai Lu have no such worries at all - one of them is Lord Dragon of the Chi Ming clan, and the other has an unknown family background on the original fairy boat. They don’t need to worry about their future at all.

Shouldn't she be a little thankful that she doesn't have to worry about buying a house or a car for the time being?

"Uncle Kevin, so... so rich!"

San Yueqi had just sighed like this when she suddenly felt Xing beside her quietly push her, and then whispered in her ear: "Stupid, are you still calling me uncle?"

Upon hearing this, San Yueqi's little head was instantly enlightened, and the look in his eyes changed instantly when he looked at Kevin.

"Kevin big..."

boom--!

Unfortunately, before San Yue Qi could even finish her words, Kevin immediately froze her into an ice cube and she fell to the ground with a thud. After seeing this, her good friend Xing decisively stepped back a few meters away, trying to pretend that she didn't know this guy.

He didn't know what the naughty kid was going to shout, and he didn't want to know at all.

After dealing with this troublesome kid, Kevin finally got the energy to think about the current problem again - it's not that he has no idea about money and other things. It's just that he really hasn't thought about these material things for a long time?

However, there is no doubt that such an amount of money may not be a big deal for a "company", but for most ordinary people, it is definitely a huge amount of assets that they may not be able to earn in several lifetimes.

No matter how rich the company's finances were, it was impossible for them to send so much money to someone without any reason, even without knowing him at all. This situation could only mean that they were definitely craving for much more than these things.

"So, Pado, the strategic investment department you mentioned came here to test whether I am worthy of their investment?" Kevin asked helplessly, looking at little Pado who finally got up from the ground.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this, right? But our boss Kevin is so awesome, there will definitely be no problem... Wait, so what are we worried about?"

Pado was indeed Pado. Just by talking to herself, she successfully shut down her brain. It was not until a moment later that she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly explained to Kevin: "No, no, Boss Kevin, it's not them. There is only one guy who came to find us this time!"

"But the problem is that that guy is not an ordinary person, but one of the 'Stone Heart Ten' in the Strategic Investment Department. Those guys are all high-level executives of the 'company', and the lowest level has reached P45. We can't reach that level even if we work for the 'company' for another years!"

It seemed that without her realizing it, Pado no longer considered herself as a member of the "company", but instead grouped herself with Kevin... Well, this was a good sign.

She is just a worker and cannot represent the company at all, so she should not confuse her status.

However, Kevin didn't know much about the job distribution in the "company". But if he remembered correctly, the salary they wrote in the contract was equivalent to P43 level?

Well, now he just hoped that there wasn't any ridiculous rule in the company that required those in a higher position to bow to those in a higher position, otherwise he would probably flip the table and quit.

"Wait, Boss Kevin...why don't you seem worried at all?"

No matter how much confidence Padu has in her boss, she was just a low-level employee in the "company" not long ago. Now she suddenly heard that a leader she had never met was coming to inspect. How could she not be nervous?

Seeing his child so frightened, Kevin finally sighed and comforted her, "Don't worry, Paddo. At least for me, people who come here just for profit are much better than anyone else."

Come for profit, go for profit... This is the nature of any living thing, so what is there to be shameful about?

At least for people like that, Kevin has the ability to judge when the other party can be considered a companion, and can re-identify the other party as an enemy without hesitation at another time.

But what happened was that, just a second after Kevin finished saying this, a strange voice suddenly came into everyone's ears from outside the door -

"That's a really good point, Mr. Kevin. It makes me want to make friends with you. It may sound crude, but it's much better than those empty-headed guys."

The silver-haired young man, whose attire was totally out of place with the style of the Immortal Boat, walked straight into the courtyard and said to Kevin directly: "It just so happens that I also believe that no matter how many skills there are in dealing with people, the most important thing is to always remain sincere - so I won't say anything extra."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Topa, and I'm a strategic investor at Interstellar Peace Corporation... I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Kevin."

Chapter 219: So, who is the most binding party?

"You know what, Mr. Kevin? Many people in the Strategic Investment Department think that your investment price is very high, and they even keep asking for an increase in investment costs. Since then, I have become very curious about you."

"Even not long ago, the news that you were listed as the highest-level ally of the Xianzhou Alliance was quietly passed on - this just happened to indirectly prove that the investment strategy of those guys was very correct, so they were even more enthusiastic about it."

The girl named Topa brought Kevin a series of information for free almost immediately. Before Kevin even opened his mouth, she continued: "But originally, I should be a member of the Special Debt Investigation Team, and your affairs are not my responsibility. So the reason why I came here this time is thanks to my good friend-"

As he spoke, Topa gently stretched out his hand, and a small, strange creature that looked like a fragrant pig but was completely different suddenly jumped out from the void and jumped into his arms.

"Hey~"

The girl took it skillfully, and then introduced it to Kevin: "Its name is Zhang Zhang, my good friend. As you can see, it is a dimensional piggy bank."

"But unlike most ordinary dimensional piggy banks, the Account has an incomparable keen sense of concepts such as 'wealth', including but not limited to debt collection, actuarial calculations and other things... It is obvious that the reason why I was able to find you is because of it."

"To be honest, I've never seen such a huge reaction from Zhang Zhang to anything... so I didn't hesitate to snatch the project of judging and investing in you from those guys."

At this point, Topa did not feel ashamed of his business competition at all. Instead, he happily spread out his palms and said helplessly, "I guess those guys are still regretting this matter, right?"

But then again, this can only be regarded as normal business competition - if those guys' abilities were really comparable to Toppa's, how could their projects be snatched away by others?

In this world where people are ruthless and do not even leave any bones behind, this can be considered a very gentle measure.

For Kevin, it doesn't matter who he is with. If the other party can be smarter, it will be a good thing for him.
