"Impossible. I clearly didn't receive any warnings."
Shen Wansan didn't even notice the stunned black-robed Emperor. He was completely stunned by Gaoyao's words, and his mind buzzed.
He quickly used his authority to investigate the price changes of the seven Controller Seals, as well as the origins of the treasures the black-robed Emperor had purchased. He discovered that it was just as Gaoyao had said. The prices of the seven Controller Seals had fallen, and the majority of the treasures he had purchased from the black-robed Emperor had come from the Chaosverse where the seven Controller Seals had come from.
"There was an error in the virtual world's operations? Impossible. Did I not receive any warnings? "
Shen Wansan's face alternated between green and white. Wanjie Lou's business was connected to the infinite worlds, representing a fair and just transaction. There would never be any mistakes in a transaction. He knew all too well just how much responsibility he would have to bear if he had made a mistake in a transaction.
This mistake was either his own doing, or the virtual world itself had malfunctioned. However, Shen Wansan understood the power of the virtual world far too well. There was no way such a large error could have occurred.
However, he remembered very clearly that he didn't hear any reminders, and there was nothing unusual when he traded those treasures.
"What should I do?"
Shen Wansan forced himself to calm down. He glanced questioningly at Gaoyao.
He was certain that he hadn't received any warnings at all. The possibility of an error occurring in the virtual world itself was virtually impossible.
In this sort of situation, he didn't know what to do.
"I've investigated as well. I haven't discovered any errors in my authority."
Gaoyao had a grave expression on his face.
They had discovered a mistake, but they didn't know where it had gone wrong. This was a major problem.
Even if they reported this to the shopkeeper, they would only be able to hand over the problem. They wouldn't be able to offer any suggestions. This would make them seem incompetent.
At almost the same time, Shen Wansan and Gaoyao turned to look at the trembling black-robed Emperor. Their minds raced with all sorts of thoughts, their eyes flashing with a dark light.
"I didn't know those treasures belonged to Wanjie Lou. I'm willing to pay you back double, no, ten times!"
The black-robed Emperor stared at Shen Wansan and Gaoyao's gloomy faces and cold gazes. He hurriedly called out.
If he knew that the seven Chaosverses were under Wanjie Lou's control, he wouldn't have dared to take any treasures from them. But when he had infiltrated those Chaosverses, he hadn't discovered any signs that the prime essences were under anyone's control.
He wasn't the only one who didn't know. Ning and [Ensio] had no idea.
"I should report this to the shopkeeper," Wansan said.
Shen Wansan withdrew his gaze from the terrified and uneasy black-robed Emperor and sighed lightly.
Even though he really wanted to get rid of the black robe emperor, he knew that doing so would be against the rules of the Wan Jie Tower. It would only make him more and more guilty.
He knew that there was a mistake in the transaction, but he didn't know why. If he waited any longer, he probably wouldn't be able to find anything.
If they continued to delay, the other employees of the Myriad Worlds Tavern would also make mistakes in their transactions. Perhaps the shop owner would really want to lay off a group of employees.
"I" t "
Upon hearing this, Gaoyao hesitated for just a moment, then nodded slowly.
Given the current situation, this was perhaps the best choice.
If they could keep things as small as possible and notify the shopkeeper in time, the shopkeeper might forgive them for this mistake.
If the black-robed Emperor wasn't the only one who made a mistake, even if the shopkeeper didn't care, they would probably have to live under the disdainful gazes of Wanjie Lou's customers.
"Black-robed Emperor, please wait a moment. Sit over there and take a break. We need to verify something."
Upon seeing Shen Wansan begin to contact the shopkeeper, Gaoyao turned his gaze towards the black-robed Emperor once more.
Until he resolved this mistake, he wouldn't permit the black-robed Emperor to leave.
Who knew if the black-robed Emperor would go around spouting nonsense after he left?
"I'll just sit here and wait."
The black-robed Emperor's voice trembled.
His entire body had been frightened to the point of collapse. The many ups and downs he had experienced today had drained him dry of all energy.
Even if he wanted to leave, he didn't have the strength to stand up.
What's more, he wanted to know whether or not he was responsible. If he was, then he wouldn't be able to escape. If he wasn't, then if he ran away now, he would offend two of Wanjie Lou's most powerful employees. Who knew when he would be killed?
Seeing that the black-robed Emperor was extremely cooperative, Gaoyao once more turned his attention to Shen Wansan.
The black-robed Emperor's matter was a small matter. The shopkeeper's attitude towards their mistake this time was the most important thing.
"The black-robed Emperor's trade was reasonable. When I first condensed the Controller's Mark, in theory, I controlled all seven Chaotic Universes. However, after the black-robed Emperor appeared, his authority was greater than the Controller's. Even if Wanjie Lou had seven Controller's Marks, the black-robed Emperor still had the authority to take some treasures from those Chaotic Universes."
After receiving Shen Wansan's self-reflection letter, Zhou Yang shook his head slightly, immediately replying to Shen Wansan's question.
When he had first entered the Desolate Era world, he hadn't expected that the black-robed Emperor would appear, and so he had casually condensed seven Controller's Marks.
In theory, Zhou Yang was the current Controller of the seven Chaotic Universes. Given the black-robed Emperor's power, there was no way he could discover Zhou Yang's existence. Even eleventh rank experts wouldn't be able to sense him.
Only when they tried to refine the Prime Essences of the Chaotic Universes would they discover that no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to succeed. They wouldn't be able to find the reason.
"In the future, if such a problem occurs, don't feel pressured. Just report it to the higher-ups."
Zhou Yang could sense the panic in Shen Wansan and Gaoyao's hearts, and he couldn't help but comfort them.
However, he didn't say a single word about how to deal with the black-robed Emperor.
Even though the black-robed Emperor had a portion of his authority over the other Chaotic Universes, it was a fact that the black-robed Emperor had taken a treasure from one of the Chaotic Universes under his control. Zhou Yang wouldn't pursue the black-robed Emperor's responsibility, but he also wouldn't say anything to appease him.
At the front desk of Wanjie Lou, Shen Wansan glanced at Zhou Yang's reply, then hurriedly showed it to Gaoyao.
If it weren't for Gaoyao's timely reminder, he might not have discovered the problem.
Although he hadn't made a mistake, Gaoyao still owed him a favor.
This time, it was because they didn't know about the inside story, and they thought that there had been a mistake. But what if he really made a mistake next time?
"That's good, that's good …"
When Gaoyao saw Zhou Yang's reply, he let out a sigh of relief, the weight on his chest finally lifted.
"Black-robed Emperor, I've offended you. You can go now."
Gaoyao restrained the excitement on his face and walked over to the black-robed Emperor, an apologetic look on his face.
This time, the shock that the black-robed Emperor had received was probably a hundred times more terrifying than they had. They might lose their status as employees of Wanjie Lou, but if a mistake was confirmed, the black-robed Emperor would most likely die.
The black-robed Emperor repeatedly thanked Zhou Yang, then stumbled away.
This time, he wouldn't be able to recover without three to five days of shock.
"You're letting him leave just like that?"
Shen Wansan's gaze was deep as he said calmly.
The shopkeeper didn't say how he would deal with the black-robed Emperor. Most likely, he wanted them to deal with him as they saw fit.
"Then release what just happened. That will show that Wanjie Lou is fair and just. Even if someone invades Wanjie Lou's assets, as long as it's reasonable, Wanjie Lou won't pursue it."
Gaoyao smiled slightly.
