After complaining for a few words, Kang Luona turned her gaze to Bai Diechang and said sincerely:

"Lord Bai Diechang, can you serve as our guard and escort us back to the capital? Of course, the fee will be generous to you."

When Bai Diechang saw Kang Luona looking down on Zhang Liang, she crossed her legs, folded her arms across her chest, and said unhappily:

"No, get out."

Seeing that Bai Diechang was a little angry, Kang Luona didn't understand how she had offended her, and quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, if I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

Seeing Bai Dieshang glance away, Kang Luona and others' faces turned pale instantly, as if they were about to die.

Just then, Ying discovered the problem from Konra's words and tone.

Ying sat opposite Kang Luona and asked, "Did anything happen to you?"

Although Ying looked calm, she was angrier than anyone else because Zhang Liang was looked down upon.

However, considering that Kang Luona's position would be helpful to Zhang Liang, Ying planned to take advantage of it first.

When Kang Luona saw that someone was helping her to smooth things over, she relaxed a lot and immediately told them the purpose of their visit.

In short, after she identified the assets of several wealthy people, she was attacked on her way back to the capital.

The people who attacked them planned to kill Kang Luona and others in order to delay the announcement of the rankings.

They escaped the attack, but the adventure group escorting them were all seriously injured and unable to continue the escort.

The leader of the adventure group said: "There are many excellent adventurers in Maze Town."

So Kang Luona and others chose to take a detour and planned to hire a new adventure group in the Maze Town to serve as guards.

The attackers' lineup consisted of three mid-level spirit realm warriors and ten peak mortal realm warriors.

After telling the Adventure Association this information, Kang Luona planned to find the strongest adventurer here to escort herself.

As a result, I was told that the strongest adventurer was Zhang Liang.

He also smiled and assured that he alone was enough.

After knowing that Zhang Liang was only at the peak of the mortal realm, Kang Luona finally understood why they were laughing.

That's obviously making fun of yourself!

"They clearly know that our situation is very dangerous, yet they still recommend us to find a peak Mortal Realm expert. Isn't this sending us to our deaths?"

She didn't understand how she had offended them to harm her like this.

People's hearts are evil...

Kang Luona became more and more angry as she spoke, and her clenched fists began to tremble.

After hearing what Kang Luona said, Ying could understand, but she was still very angry that Zhang Liang was looked down upon.

So, Ying decided to handle the matter using Zhang Liang's method.

"The adventurer is right. Zhang Liang is the strongest adventurer here."

Seeing that the beautiful woman in front of her was also fooling her, Kang Luona could no longer bear it and said excitedly:

"He is only at the peak of the Mortal Realm! What nonsense are you talking about with your eyes open...? Sorry."

Seeing Ying with her eyes covered and looking like she couldn't see, Kang Luona's excited tone faded away and she apologized politely.

"Shall we make a bet?" Ying's tone was calm but provocative.

Realizing this, Kang Luona, who was already a little angry, also got angry.

"Okay, if he's the strongest, I'll kneel down and call him grandpa! And I'll issue him an exclusive commission with 100 gold coins!"

100 gold coins, for an escort mission, is 100 times more.

Hearing what Kang Luona said, Ying's mouth corners slightly raised.

Of course, it wasn't the 100 gold coins that she cared about.

Then she shook her head and said, "If I lose, you can set the conditions. If I win, I hope you will stand on Zhang Liang's side in the future."

Seeing Ying's appearance and dress, Kang Luona judged that she was a lady from a wealthy family. If she won, she could at least expand her network.

Without thinking too much, Kang Luona immediately replied:

"no problem."

Zhang Liang, who was standing aside, always felt that the firefly had become like him.

Section 1#Volume 3: Change of Rank: Chapter 330: Won’t your husband be angry?

After one hour.

Now Zhang Liang and Ying were sitting on the sofa opposite Kang Luona.

From the perspective of others, the two of them somehow always look like a couple.

Bai Diechang stood behind the sofa, sighed, and complained in her heart: "Ying was still led astray by Zhang Liang."

After Kang Luona and the others watched all the videos about Zhang Liang, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly.

Zhang Liang's actions directly shattered their understanding since they were old enough to understand.

Who could have thought that a peak Mortal Realm warrior could defeat a strong man from the Imperial Realm, tear apart the Maze Town with bare hands, angrily slay 10 White Rock Dragons, and bloodbath the Kunbel Great Maze.

Obviously, the Adventure Association did not lie to him, Zhang Liang was really the strongest.

Thinking of the previous bet, Kang Luona swallowed and felt a chill down her spine.

Kang Luona, as the director of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, often deals with the wealthy people in the empire. Some of them are even very polite to her and give her enough face in order to curry favor with her.

And now, she will face the most humiliating moment of her life, kneeling down in front of Zhang Liang and calling him grandpa.

Since you are the one who spoke, you must do what you said.

She looked solemn. She raised her slightly trembling hand and pushed up her red-framed glasses which had slid down. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her cheeks due to nervousness.

The main reason why Kang Luona was able to become the director of the China Banking Regulatory Commission at such a young age is that she is upright, keeps her word and has extremely high professional ethics.

She always refused bribes and inducements from wealthy people, and can be said to be innocent.

Since you lost the bet, you must bear the consequences.

Zhang Liang could see the embarrassment of the beautiful woman in black stockings. It seemed that she was going to fulfill the verbal bet she had made.

Kang Luona is obviously a strong woman who is extremely demanding of herself. It is obviously inappropriate to ask her to kneel down and call her grandpa.

Perhaps, some rich people like to play this way, but Zhang Liang has no such interest.

Just as Kang Luona slowly stood up and prepared to fulfill the bet, Zhang Liang stopped her and said:

"It's fine if you kneel down and call me grandpa, but I'll take the job for 100 gold coins."

Zhang Liang is now the richest man with a huge fortune, so he naturally has no shortage of these 100 gold coins.

He thought, since he would be returning to the capital tomorrow anyway, it would be totally on the way, and it would be a waste not to make the 100 gold coins.

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Kang Luona felt relieved.

but···

Those 100 gold coins were still a huge pressure for her.

For a moment, she regretted the bet she had made. Thinking that she couldn't possibly lose, she exaggerated the bet.

Now that’s great, the car has failed.

The CBRC will definitely not reimburse you for your gambling.

Kang Luona did not commit corruption or bribery, so she was just a high-ranking employee.

For her, who earns 15 gold coins a year, 100 gold coins are enough to keep her going without food or drink for nearly seven years.

Although she had some savings, she really couldn't take out such a huge sum of money as 100 gold coins.

"that···"

Kang Luona didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Liang, and said timidly: "Can I write you an IOU? I, I only have 15 gold coins in my savings..."

15 gold coins were the money for buying a house that Kang Luona saved after three years of frugality.

Obviously, her dream of settling down in the capital was shattered because of this talk.

You can dream again, but you only have one life.

Zhang Liang is the strongest adventurer here, but he never accepts his commissions. Anyone who dares to accept them would be slapping Zhang Liang in the face.

Judging from the current situation, if he wants to survive, he can only beg Zhang Liang for help.

"Can···"

After hearing Kang Luona's words, Zhang Liang agreed without thinking, thinking that 15 gold coins were also money, so he took them first.

As for whether the debt can be repaid, that is a matter for the future.

As a result, Ying interrupted Zhang Liang before he could finish his words.

"Zhang Liang, can you let me handle this matter?"

Ying knew what Zhang Liang wanted to say. He was a lone wolf and a vested interest that was difficult to change.

There was nothing wrong with what he did, but for Zhang Liang now, money was not the most important thing; interpersonal relationships were what were important.

Zhang Liang's interpersonal relationships were very poor, almost catastrophic.

After all, everyone present had a misunderstanding with Zhang Liang.

Ying wanted to slowly change Zhang Liang's current situation. Even if it was just a little bit of change, it would be better than doing nothing.

Seeing Ying's serious expression, Zhang Liang had no reason to object.

At this moment, Zhang Liang truly felt that he was no longer alone and that he had someone he could rely on.

"Then I'll leave it all to you." Zhang Liang said with a heartfelt smile.

"Yeah." Ying also smiled and nodded.

Then, Ying looked at Kang Luona and suggested: "We can escort you to the capital for free."

Hearing this, Kang Luona was shocked.

You know, that’s 100 gold coins, an amount that many people cannot save in their entire lifetime.

Just say you don’t want it?

Kang Luona's cheek was covered with cold sweat. She glanced at Zhang Liang and said to Ying:

"That's 100 gold coins. Wouldn't your husband be angry if you just refuse it?"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard Kang Luona address Zhang Liang, and Ying's cheeks turned red instantly.

"I, we're not that close yet."

Hearing Ying's words, Zhang Liang's heart started pounding.

Ying did not say "We are not in that kind of relationship", but rather said "We are not in that kind of relationship yet", which means that we will reach that level in the future.

Zhang Liang felt very happy thinking that Ying would become his wife sooner or later.

If it wasn't so inconvenient here, he would have wanted to jump up and raise his fist to cheer.

When Kang Luona saw the different reactions of the crowd, she instantly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly bowed her head to apologize.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead and complained in her heart: "Judging from their reactions, the relationship between Zhang Liang and them is very complicated."

She quietly glanced at the crowd and counted how many boats there were.

However, Ying was still very happy to be misunderstood by Kang Luona. The little deer in her heart was about to jump out.

About two minutes later, Ying calmed down.

Back to the topic, Ying put forward a condition.

"I haven't finished what I was saying."

Then, Ying raised a finger and said, "I hope you will agree to one condition of mine."
