Virgil's shocking burst of momentum frightened the group of reporters.
But there was one person in the crowd who was not frightened. The reason she was not frightened was because she walked too slowly and did not understand what was happening.
"Why are all the reporters standing in the corridor? Come in! Hey! What's the matter with you, Xiaowei? Why didn't you open the door for the guests when you saw them coming?"
If the speaker, Virgil, remembered correctly, it was Qiu Yuan's second aunt Roushan.
Dante had met her once before when he was on duty and complained that he had never seen such a mean and mean woman.
Virgil has a natural...physical aversion to this type of human being.
Again, if it were in Virgil's own world, the group of people in front of him would have been split into two by the Yama Sword.
He didn't need to listen or care about what these mortals said!
But now...
'Senior Virgil! If you really can't bear it, you can replace him with someone else!'
Futaba's somewhat frightened and impatient voice sounded in Vergil's ears.
The scheduling of various tasks in the tavern is basically co-hosted by Shirley and Futaba.
The former white wolf girl Ciri relies on her enthusiastic, outgoing, sociable character to be able to build a good relationship with anyone, and her ability to travel through time and space to connect everyone in the tavern.
The latter serves as the genius hacker and data center of the Phantom Thieves of Heart, while Futaba is responsible for the coordination of data monitoring and recording.
'No need to bother.'
Vergil wanted him to be able to deal with harsh relatives... In a sense, it might be more difficult than asking him to kill the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm.
But Virgil also has a hidden human personality ‘V’.
This personality was created after he separated his demon half and human half through the Yama Sword in order to thirst for power, and represents his human side.
This human side's personality is much smoother, and his personality is more similar to Dante.
Although Virgil hates this personality of his, he has to admit that sometimes he can still be useful, such as now...
So the magic swordsman directly awakened his human side personality 'V'.
After that, the killing intent in Virgil instantly dissipated a lot.
Faced with the questioning from his second aunt Roushan, he could actually relax and lean against the wall with teasing eyes... looking at this middle-aged woman who came to find trouble.
"My brother was seriously ill and just came out of the hospital. He is so weak that if he makes the slightest sound, he will be in critical condition again. When you go in later... If something happens to my dear brother! I guarantee that all of you will be safe."
Can't run away."
As he spoke, he pointed at the camera set up by Futaba above the door frame. This camera was faithfully recording the actions of the group of reporters outside the house.
"These reporter friends just want to care about Xiaoqiu's condition. What do you, a junior, know? Besides, this is my sister's home, not yours..." the second aunt still said reluctantly.
"This is indeed not my home... But no matter what, I am better than your little nephew who was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital for nearly a year, but never came to visit once. Now you are bringing a group of reporters here... you want to
Satisfy your own vanity or accept dirty money from these reporters?"
Virgil under the V personality also didn't understand what mercy meant, and directly exposed the second aunt's true purpose.
She fell into a state of speechlessness for a moment, but soon remembered something to retort bluntly.
"What are you talking about? Fortunately, I was kind enough to come over and tell him about the assignment of the ancestral home to Xiao Yuan..."
After saying this, she couldn't help but complain.
"I really don't understand what dad is thinking. With so many brothers and sisters still alive, he insists on giving the ancestral home to that child Xiaoyuan. It's good now... that child even has problems paying the deed tax."
"What did you say?" Virgil knew about the ancestral home for the first time.
During the year when everyone in the tavern took care of Qiu Yuan, they did not investigate Qiu Yuan's family background.
After all, this involves Qiu Yuan's privacy, and everyone in the tavern doesn't care much about who is left of Qiu Yuan's relatives.
It’s okay if your relatives are in the hospital for such a long time and don’t come to visit.
But the inheritance of the ancestral home involves Qiu Yuan's interests.
"Don't you know yet? Your grandfather named Xiao Yuan to inherit the family's ancestral home..."
"But if you really want to inherit it, you will have to pay nearly 500,000 yuan in various taxes! So I am here to tell Xiaoyuan now, if you can't pay it within this month, it will be easier for your uncle's family!"
"And tell Xiaoyuan, if you really want my second aunt's help, tell me that day. Tomorrow I will take a plane to America to pick up my daughter and bring her back to China!"
The second aunt seemed to have given Qiu Yuan an ultimatum, but Virgil under the V personality just said lightly after listening.
"Oh...I know, please come back. My cousin will pay the deed tax on time."
Even 'V' who changed into a human personality this time was a little impatient...
"Submit it on time? How can Xiaoyuan get so much money by staying at home without even working, let alone this year?"
"That's not your concern."
In this way, 'V' returned to Qiu Yuan's home after persuading all the reporters and Qiu Yuan's annoying second aunt.
"Who are the people outside the door?"
Although Qiu Yuan's body was extremely weak, his hearing was surprisingly good, and he could vaguely hear who was arguing outside the door.
Virgil, who was still under the 'V' personality, told Qiu Yuan what his second aunt Qiu Yuan had said about the inheritance of the ancestral home.
After listening to this, if Qiu Yuan could move his hands now, he would definitely put his hand against his forehead to express his "sadness" about this matter.
"It's understandable that my grandpa would name me to inherit the ancestral home. After all, although there are quite a lot of people in our family who are busy doing business all over the world, I still take care of my grandpa in his later years.
It’s just my parents.”
Although Qiu Yuan's parents are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they took turns taking long leaves to take care of Qiu Yuan's grandfather when he was unable to move.
Now that my grandfather has handed over the most important ancestral home to Qiu Yuan when he is dying, Qiu Yuan should inherit it dutifully, but...
"How is the tax of half a million calculated?"
Qiu Yuan felt dizzy when he heard this amount of money. The money he had saved over the years as a game anchor was only around 130,000, which was still nearly a quarter short.
As for the savings of his parents... Qiu Yuan can guess that it is probably not much.
On the one hand, in order to treat my grandfather's condition for my parents, on the other hand, I spent nearly a year paralyzed in a hospital bed, which probably cost a lot.
"Is the first crisis you face after coming to Earth the lack of money? This is too realistic." Just when Qiu Yuan was thinking about how to raise this huge sum of money.
Virgil had returned to his normal personality and returned to the kitchen to discuss with everyone in the tavern how to collect the huge sum of five hundred thousand dollars.
But Virgil could only listen to this topic from the sidelines.
He himself has no idea about money in the human world...
After all, as a pursuit of ultimate power, money in the human world is just useless pieces of paper to Vergil.
His younger brother Dante was even more ruined. Virgil heard that Dante's Demon Hunter Agency was almost in arrears with utility bills for several months.
"How about...speculating...stock trading! I...I can try to tamper with the stock market or something like that." Futaba was the first to make a very dangerous suggestion.
"It doesn't work. This method of collecting funds is too slow...it won't be able to catch up in one month."
The person who refuted Futaba's proposal was Takemi Mya who stayed in the pub for a drink. This doctor sister with a rock punk style seemed to like the mixed but warm atmosphere of this pub.
"Perhaps we could consider selling some potions?"
Xili couldn't think of any way to make money quickly in modern times. Just when Xili made this unreliable-sounding suggestion, a slightly mocking voice sounded in the tavern.
"Magic potion? Oh... Unless your magic potion can make people get high, it is worthless in this era!"
"I forgot about you. Do you have any suggestions?"
Shirley turned around and found that the person who spoke... was a man wearing a stained white T-shirt and a Mediterranean hairstyle, but he looked particularly fierce both from his tattoos and his expression.
Trevor Philip.
There are many criminals gathered in this tavern, but he is definitely one of the craziest.
But he is also the type who values love and justice the most, so when everyone in the tavern is offended by him, the most they can do is punch him away.
"Any other suggestions? If we are short of money, then we should grab it from where there is money! Where is the fastest place to make money in this era? Bank! Is it Mike?"
Trevor said as he turned around and called out to the middle-aged man who was still drinking ale.
"Damn it Trevor...I just came here to hide from my agent! Can you please stop dragging me into doing such dirty work?" The middle-aged man named Mike shouted dissatisfied.
"Don't make you do dirty work? Have you forgotten who gave you the comfortable life you have now? It's Qiu! Without him we would all die!" Trevor slapped Mike's tabletop and shouted.
"Okay...ok...I'll join the gang."
Mike spread his hands to express surrender, and could only choose to compromise and be willing to fight again with his old partner.
"Then...that...that...that..." When Futaba saw the two gangsters discussing how to get money directly from the bank, she weakly raised her hand and said, "It's...best not...to... ask for it from the leader."
…Otherwise…”
"Are you looking down on us? We only steal beautiful knives! Of course we are going to America's bank!"
Trevor said and shouted again to everyone in the tavern.
"Now, who else among you wants to go have a fight with me?!"
