Igor had a strong desire for control. This could be seen from the fact that he personally handled everything on Watatsumi Island.

And this desire for control did not seem to subside even after Bai Luo had arrived on Watatsumi Island.

Especially after Bai Luo had told him not to reveal his identity to anyone, he continued to take on everything without any pretense, completely ignoring Bai Luo, the Harbinger.

Today, he was still hunched over his desk, writing furiously as usual, but he had an unexpected visitor.

"Lord Instructor... Lord Battousai."

After seeing the red-robed swordsman enter, Igor's face immediately showed a fawning expression.

But this fawning was not very skilled.

That's right. If not for his desperate desire to submit his achievements to the higher-ups through Bai Luo, Igor probably wouldn't have been so servile.

This kind of guy with extreme forbearance was generally not to be trifled with.

Unfortunately, his ambition and strength were not proportional. He was completely unaware that the canary he had locked in a cage had long since locked him in a much larger one.

"How much Mora do you have at your disposal right now?"

Bai Luo didn't stand on ceremony with him. Holding his reverse-blade sword, he asked.

"That... about two million Mora."

When he said this, Igor's expression was a little embarrassed, because this amount of money was not much, and even a little petty.

If he were elsewhere, his colleagues would probably be able to mobilize much more funds than this, right?

Unfortunately, he had already been abandoned by The Regrator. That person had long since cut off his supplies. This two million was mostly his own savings.

"What if it's in the name of a Fatui Harbinger?"

Bai Luo had clearly seen his predicament and probably understood what was going on.

"If you use your authority as a Harbinger, my lord, then I can send someone to the embassy in Inazuma City to retrieve funds. Based on the current financial situation of the Fatui in Inazuma, you should be able to retrieve a maximum of three billion Mora, Lord Instructor."

As a subordinate of The Regrator, Igor was quite knowledgeable about these matters, so he told Bai Luo everything.

"Three billion?"

Bai Luo was a little surprised, because he didn't expect to have so much pocket money.

Before becoming a Harbinger, he had always been reimbursed for his expenses.

After becoming a Harbinger, he had always put it on someone else's tab and had never personally retrieved the corresponding funds.

So I'm a rich man too?

"How about this, help me retrieve three hundred million Mora and donate it anonymously to Sangonomiya Shrine. Remember! It's Sangonomiya Shrine, not Watatsumi Island. Don't get it wrong."

When Bai Luo was instructing Igor, he deliberately emphasized the name Sangonomiya Shrine.

"I understand, my lord, but I need some proof from you, otherwise..."

A troubled expression appeared on Igor's face.

If he were to ask for the money, the person in charge in Inazuma City wouldn't refuse. But to ask for three hundred million Mora in the Instructor's name... if there was no proof, he would probably be beaten out with a stick.

After all, he had no official relationship with the Instructor, and their secret relationship couldn't be made public.

So...

"Hmm? I didn't say it was in my name. Why should I give you proof?"

Bai Luo looked at Igor with a puzzled expression. As expected of a Fatui member who hadn't worked with him before. He didn't even understand this simple logic.

"???"

"Let me think... Childe has almost been fleeced bare by me, so I'll let him off the hook for now. La Signora... forget it, I've already fleeced her once. I can't be too harsh, or she'll turn into a fluttering moth and whip me with a small leather whip. Scaramouche... I don't think I know him very well either. How about putting it on The Regrator's tab for now? Hmm... alright, The Regrator it is. He's in charge of the money anyway, so he probably won't care about such a small amount."

Several names quickly came out of his mouth. With each name, Igor's head would lower a little. By the time The Regrator's name was mentioned, he was almost kneeling on the ground.

From his tone, it was not difficult to hear that he seemed to enjoy doing things in the name of other Harbingers.

But... as a subordinate of The Regrator, Igor knew better than anyone how much The Regrator cherished his wealth.

The word "pathological" could be used to describe it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have decisively given up on funding Watatsumi Island after learning that there was no profit to be made here.

The Regrator never did a losing business.

Three hundred million. If he couldn't give a suitable reason, The Regrator's wrath was not something he could bear.

"Go and get the money without worry. The Regrator won't make things difficult for you."

Seemingly sensing Igor's worry, Bai Luo gave him a shot of confidence.

"As you command, my lord!"

With Bai Luo's words, although Igor was still a little uneasy, he had gained a bit of confidence.

That's right. Even though the [Instructor] was only the last of the Fatui Harbingers, under his protection, Lord Regrator probably wouldn't blame him too much.

Besides... he had been loyal to him for so long, yet he had been completely abandoned with just the sentence "Watatsumi Island has no prospects."

Then, he could repay him in kind.

Perhaps he could even use this opportunity to stir up trouble between the [Instructor] and The [Regrator] and make them fight.

In a battle between Harbingers, one of them would surely fall. At that time, he, Igor, with his achievements on Watatsumi Island, might even have a chance to take the position of a Harbinger.

After bowing to Bai Luo, Igor hurriedly left. But he did not notice that Bai Luo's gaze towards him was full of amusement.

How could he not see through Igor's thoughts? But so what if he did? The ant thinks it has shaken the giant, but it is unaware that it has only shaken a single leg hair of the giant.

Besides, he was just a dying man. There was no need for him to make things difficult for him.

Let's just consider it... the final mercy of Lord Instructor.

Bai Luo basically had his own plan on how to deal with the situation on Watatsumi Island.

In terms of his personality, he had always sought stability, using everything around him that could be used.

And now, the most useful thing was his title as the Battousai.

If he started from the point of "Battousai," Bai Luo could save himself a lot of trouble and even make many plans twice as effective with half the effort.

If it were an ordinary fish, you could put it in a frying pan and fry it on both sides until it was delicious.

As for an ornamental fish, it was different. It was meant to be cherished. You could put it in a fish tank to play with, or sprinkle some bait to tease it.

It was just that the vicious dog guarding the fish tank was not easy to deal with. But as long as you put on beautiful clothes and pretty accessories for it, its ferocity would be gradually worn down until it completely fell.

Phew... I'm really a bad person.
