Two thousand taels of gleaming silver lay piled on the table. Beside it, Xiao Wu felt his heart racing; this was two thousand taels! To put it in less dignified terms, he had never even seen so much silver in his entire life.
Shi Yi, however, remained calm as a mountain lake. He did not rush to put the money away. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Manager Liu, is Tiandi Bank trustworthy?"
Manager Liu paused, then let out a hearty laugh. "Tiandi Bank is more reliable than the Imperial Family. Our ironclad rule is that we care only for profit—but only profit earned through proper means. We do not engage in burning, killing, or looting. How else could the Black Dragon Society operate across so many nations and remain standing to this day? To be blunt with you, even the Great Chu Imperial Family keeps silver in our vaults."
