I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

"...Did you rob the treasury of any Middle Eastern royal family?"

He asked, "These things in the photos, according to preliminary estimates, are worth at least a billion US dollars."

"Don't worry about that,"

Gu Ye smiled and said, "I absolutely did not do anything illegal. Everything I obtained was legitimate."

Jotaro Kujo did not press further about the source of the treasure.

He understood Gu Ye. Although the young man seemed indifferent to everything, he had his own principles and disdained doing low-level things like helping others launder money.

Since he said the source was legitimate, then it must be legitimate.

"Yes. The foundation would be happy to receive this collection of artifacts with research value."

Jotaro agreed, "How exactly should we handle this?"

"Cash it out as soon as possible and convert it into Japanese yen."

Gu Ye said, "We can accept a certain degree of value loss, but speed is the priority."

"understood."

Jotaro replied, "Do I need to exchange it for Japanese yen and transfer it to your designated account?"

"Yes."

"Okay. I'll send someone over to pick it up tomorrow. Send me the address."

"no problem."

Gu Ye hung up the phone, sent his address, and then looked back at the chat group interface.

He saw in the group chat that Rin and Haimeng were still comforting Xiangzi, and Akame had even quietly sent a red envelope with the note: "[Roasted lizard leg]"

Gu Ye smiled and sent a new message to Xiangzi.

[Weather Forecast]: I just contacted the channel provider and asked for you.

[Weather Forecast]: Judging by the current situation, the total value of your treasure is over one billion US dollars. Even if some of it is lost, converted into Japanese yen, it would still be more than enough to pay off your family's loans.

One billion... US dollars?

Shoko Toyokawa stared at the number, her mind going completely blank.

She had imagined the amount of money would be large, but she never expected it to be this much.

[Weather Forecast]: However, I do not recommend that you pay off your loan immediately.

[Weather Forecast]: You can use this money to make more money. By leveraging information asymmetry and capital advantages, you can create a business empire no less powerful than the Toyokawa family's within a year. At that point, whether you want to acquire the Toyokawa Group or have your grandfather kneel down and beg you is entirely up to you.

Gu Ye's words were like a devil's whisper, painting an incredibly alluring picture in her ear.

To build a... business empire?

This idea is grander and more challenging than simply "paying off debts" and "taking everything back".

It was like a seed that fell into Xiangzi's parched heart, instantly taking root and sprouting.

A light rekindled in her eyes.

It was no longer a desolate, lifeless silence, but a terrifyingly bright flame filled with ambition, desire, and scheming.

【Oblivionis】: ……I will consider it.

She replied.

【Ding~】

Just then, a red envelope appeared in the chat box.

From the weather forecast

Below the red envelope was a line of small print: "[First, solve your basic needs. The password is your birthday.]"

【Oblivionis】: Thank you everyone, and thank you, Gu Ye.

[Weather Forecast]: You're welcome, everyone in the group.

……

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.

When Gu Ye opened the door, three men in black suits were already standing quietly outside.

They were tall and upright, with a capable demeanor, and the silver badges on their collars reflected the morning light—the symbol of the SPW Foundation.

The man at the head of the group bowed slightly upon seeing Gu Ye.

"Good morning, Mr. Kamishiro. We are from the Asset Appraisal and Recovery Department of the SPW Foundation, here on behalf of Dr. Taro."

"Well, hard work."

Gu Ye nodded and stepped aside to let them in. "The things are here."

The men entered the room, their eyes scanning the surroundings, but they didn't find anything that looked like "treasure."

The man in the lead showed no sign of doubt, and simply asked calmly, "Excuse me, where are the items that need to be inventoried?"

Gu Ye didn't answer, but simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

With a slight sense of spatial distortion, a solemn and mysterious black train engine silently appeared in the center of the living room.

"A thousand realms, one vehicle..."

Gu Ye softly uttered its name, and the side door of the train engine slid open in response. In an instant, dazzling golden light burst forth from the door, mixed with the brilliance of gemstones, illuminating the entire room like a temple.

Mountains of gold coins, diamonds, crowns, and all sorts of jewels were piled up haphazardly inside the carriage, like a pile of worthless rubble.

The pupils of the three men in suits suddenly contracted.

This is... a stand-in?

A space-type Stand that can store items?

And its shape is that of a train engine?

Despite the turmoil raging within them, they maintained a calm demeanor on their faces.

The man in the lead glanced at the train engine once more before refocusing his gaze on Gu Ye.

"I see. We understand now."

"It's too much trouble to take inventory."

Gu Ye glanced at the mountain of treasure and asked, "How do you plan to transport it back? The journey from here to headquarters won't be peaceful."

“We have professional security and transportation procedures, so Mr. Kamishiro doesn’t need to worry.”

"It's still too slow."

Gu Ye waved his hand, "Get in the car, I'll take you there directly."

"...Get in the car?"

The man in the lead was taken aback.

"Yes, get in the car."

Gu Ye pointed to the locomotive, "You, and these things, I'll send them over together."

The three members of the consortium exchanged glances and nodded without hesitation.

"As you wish, Mr. Kamishiro."

They carefully boarded the train and, at Gu Ye's instruction, placed the treasure into specially made alloy boxes. After the last box was loaded, Gu Ye also boarded.

The car door is closed.

"Stand still."

As soon as Gu Ye finished speaking, the vehicle of the Thousand Realms Chariot began to become illusory, and the scenery outside the window instantly transformed into a dazzling torrent of data.

The conglomerate members only felt a slight sense of weightlessness, and before they could even react, the train had come to a complete stop.

"arrive."

The car door slid open again, and outside was no longer the quiet residential area of ​​Morio, but a huge underground hangar full of futuristic technology.

Numerous researchers and security personnel in white lab coats were busy around. This was the headquarters of the SPW Foundation in the United States.

From departure to arrival, it took less than ten seconds.

Three men in suits stepped out of the carriage. Looking at the familiar surroundings, and then back at the train engine that still exuded a mysterious aura, a cold sweat broke out on their backs.

This is no longer just a spatial clone... This is... teleportation? No, it's interdimensional teleportation!

They skillfully suppressed their shock and immediately began organizing personnel to inventory and assess the treasure.

The entire process was incredibly efficient; the final report was delivered to Gu Ye in less than half an hour.

"Mr. Kamishiro, after the final assessment, the total value of this treasure is US$1.198 billion. As per your request, we will convert it to US$1.2 billion for delivery."

One of the managers asked respectfully, "May I ask which account this payment should be deposited into?"

Gu Ye took out his phone, brought up the chat group, and showed the other party the bank account information that Fengchuan Xiangzi had sent him last night.

"This account."

The person in charge glanced at the account name and the bank, a knowing look flashing in their eyes.

"Toyokawa...is that the Toyokawa Group from Japan?"

"Yes, the account owner is Toyokawa Shoko, the heir of the Toyokawa family."

Gu Ye casually explained, "This batch of treasure originally belonged to her; I was just handling it on her behalf."

He was too lazy to have them transfer the money to his account first and then transfer it to his own; that would be too much trouble. Besides, given the SPW Group's intelligence capabilities, they would definitely investigate the origin of this account.

It's better to get it done now and avoid any potential trouble Xiangzi might encounter in the future.

"We understand."

The person in charge nodded immediately and asked no further questions.

For the conglomerate, the nature of the deal immediately became clear: a mysterious accomplice with powerful Stand abilities was helping another fallen heir of a wealthy family manage his assets.

This may involve complex family struggles or something else, but as long as the treasure's origin is "clean" and Dr. Jotaro approves, they are only responsible for carrying it out.

The transfer process is incredibly fast.

A few minutes later, Gu Ye received a confirmation message on his phone that the transaction was completed.

"Pleasant to work with."

Gu Ye put away his phone, turned around and walked onto the Thousand Realms Chariot. "Then I'll head back first."

Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, Thousand Realms One Vehicle once again vanished into the hangar as a phantom.

At almost the same time, in a cheap rental room in Tokyo, Toyokawa Shoko stared blankly at the long string of numbers on her mobile banking app that was almost overflowing the screen.

Her phone vibrated; it was a message from the chat group.

【Oblivionis】:! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A series of exclamation marks were enough to express her feelings at that moment.

Chapter 154 Irisviel secretly films Ilya's big movie.

[Oblivionis]: 180 billion... yen...

[Oblivionis]: I...I only owe 16.8 billion...

【Oblivionis】: What kind of life did I live before?!

Overwhelming ecstasy overwhelmed her previously tense nerves.

She rolled around on the mattress, clutching her phone, feeling like crying one moment and laughing the next.

The debts that weighed heavily on her, the bills that kept her up at night, seemed so ridiculous and insignificant in the face of this astronomical figure.

She felt as if she had been lifted from the brink of drowning in the deep sea by an invisible hand and placed directly on the clouds.

An unprecedented, immense sense of control and self-confidence rapidly swelled within her.
