Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

The person holding the whip is clearly from the Bai Family, a group of young and old men and women gathered together, chatting and laughing. When they see a worker slowing down, they're quick to whip them. These martial artists had to speed up their work if they wanted to avoid the whip.

These martial artists working with chains were undoubtedly the ones who had gone missing recently. Although they hadn't been missing for long, their faces had already become blank, like puppets.

Aside from these people, what shocked Tan Shuangshuang the most was that this place wasn't the Secret Silver Gold Crystal Mine she had assumed, but instead a precious Spirit Stone Mine!

In Baiyue Country, the highest level of currency commonly used is Spiritual Pearl, and Spirit Stone is one level higher. Unless it's the Imperial Family or Major Sect, Spirit Stones are rarely seen; Spiritual Pearls are made from the offcuts of Spirit Stones.

No wonder Yan Xing came here; a Spirit Stone Mine is indeed enough to alarm him. A Spirit Stone Mine is like an inexhaustible treasury. With this realization, those so-called big clients of the Bai Family previously probably weren't here to spend money but to collect it and deliver goods.

The reason the Bai Family interacted with Yan Xing was certainly in hopes of letting Wanyou Trading House protect their Spirit Stone Mine. Although they would have to pay a large sum as protection money, it's better than having the Spirit Stone Mine discovered by outsiders.

According to national law, Spirit Stone Mines cannot be privately owned. This rule is the same whether in Baiyue Country or other countries; any mine can be privately owned except for Spirit Stone Mines.

Even if an individual discovered a Spirit Stone Mine, seventy percent of the Spirit Stones mined would have to go to the National Treasury, while only thirty percent would return to the discoverer.

Compared to national law, Wanyou Trading House helps protect assets and only charges thirty percent of the assets as a fee. Although it's also costly, it's still within a bearable range.

Indeed, although the Bai Family attracted a group of tigers in the process, they weren't foolish; they knew to find Wanyou Trading House to ensure the safety of their assets.

While Tan Shuangshuang was contemplating, the middle-aged man leading her had already brought her to a large table set with tea and fruit platters and stopped. Tan Shuangshuang knew this was her position as supervisor.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man pointed at the workers with chains up ahead and said to Tan Shuangshuang, "Second Miss, today you're responsible for supervising here. Make sure these people don't slack off."

After saying this, the middle-aged man hesitated while looking at Tan Shuangshuang, sighed, and said, "Second Miss, please don't take my words the wrong way. The outside world is tense recently; we can't bring in new workers. If they are consumed, there will be fewer people. Second Miss, please restrain your temper. If you're angry, a couple of whips will suffice. Don't go causing more deaths. You've been killing too many people recently, and the Family Head is already very displeased."

Tan Shuangshuang, unlike Bai Shuyao, didn't have a morbid enjoyment of killing others. So she promptly agreed, which made the middle-aged man feel gratified that the Second Miss had grown up and could heed advice.

After the middle-aged man left, Tan Shuangshuang followed suit, holding a whip and pacing back and forth. Fortunately, Bai Shuyao didn't like whipping people casually; she preferred either not to act or to kill when she did.

As Tan Shuangshuang walked, her right hand moved naturally, wearing a ring on her right middle finger, adorned with a shining beautiful gemstone. It looked like a pretty girl's accessory, but it was actually a Memory Stone she had specially prepared and modified beforehand.

Tan Shuangshuang's plan was to record all the scenes here as evidence to request the City Lord Mansion to deal with the Bai Family, allowing the Tan Family to remain hidden in the background, offend no one, and accomplish the task.

However, now that Yan Xing from Wanyou Trading House had appeared, given his nature of valuing interest above all, he was likely to get involved in this matter.

According to Wanyou Trading House's rules, anything involving a nation's law should not overstep boundaries and must follow the law. But Baiyue Country isn't a formidable power, not enough to make Yan Xing give up profits and adhere to the rules.

Since Yan Xing doesn't hold Baiyue Country in high regard, let alone a small Seventh Grade City's City Lord, Tan Shuangshuang's previous strategy needed to be revised.
