90: The Man's Belief Is Money

In a world full of hypocrisy, only money can be trusted.

This is the life creed of a man who has been a bounty hunter for decades.

He was holding a corpse in his hand, but Kakuzu felt that it was not as simple as just a corpse, but instead was a lot of money.

If this corpse is transferred to the underground black market, it can be sold for a high price of 20 million taels.

Since he started working as a bounty hunter, he has also belonged to the high-paying range.

In this way, another big business has been completed.

Sure enough, in this cold and hypocritical world, only money can bring a touch of warmth.

Walking on the road in tea country, he was alone.

Kakuzu looked up at the sun in the sky, it was almost noon, and the sun was a bit dazzling.

Just as he turned his gaze back and continued to walk forward, five people suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

The first person is the insect man. Just like the staff member of the underground black market office said, every time the other party goes to a country, he will stay for a period of time, and now it is his activity time in the country of tea.

It took a day to find this very famous bounty hunter 'undead' in the underground black market.

"You are Mr. Kakuzu, we are..."

"Wait."

Kakuzu interrupted the insect man's words, gently put down the corpse in his hand, and in the confused eyes of the five insect men, he casually took out a booklet from his pocket.

Each page of the booklet recorded a person's portrait, name, and the amount of reward.

At the beginning is naturally the contemporary five shadows, and then there are famous ninjas from various countries. In the first few pages, the name of 'Hatake Sakumo' is also recorded, and the reward amount is 110 million taels.

Apart from the contemporary Five Shadows, it is one of the highest reward targets.

But this page is now crossed out by Kakuzu.

Because Konoha White Fang is dead, this bounty is over.

He kept turning the pages, and the five Insect men looked at each other, not knowing what this guy was looking for.

Kakuzu looked up at the insect man and rummaged through the pamphlet, his green eyes filled with an obsession for something.

But when I turned to the last page, I couldn't find any information about the insect man.

Kakuzu frowned, and then took out another booklet.

The bounty tasks in the previous booklet were all high reward targets of more than 10 million taels.

The pamphlet that I took out now records the low and medium reward targets of less than 10 million taels.

Finally found the target on the last page of the brochure.

"Finally found it, is it here? The name is Insect Man, and the reward amount is 500,000 taels... It's a cheap head."

No wonder he felt familiar, but he didn't see it in the high reward list.

"..."

The Insect man didn't know what to say.

It is not uncommon for a bounty hunter in an underground black market to be offered a bounty by someone else in the underground black market.

Therefore, it is often necessary to guard against sneak attacks from peers.

It's only been nearly two years since he joined the underground black market, and his reputation is not very big.

"Seeing that your strength is good, there should be a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Keep the head on your neck and store it. Later, when your head appreciates, I will come to you again."

Kakuzu said with a fair evaluation.

The reward of 500,000 taels, to be honest, is a bit unworthy of the strength of the man in front of him.

Judging from his flawless stance, his current standard price is at least six million taels, and he might be able to increase it further.

It's a shame to kill it now.

Insect Man: "..."

Kakuzu ignored the insect man's reaction, put the two booklets back in his pockets, picked up the corpse on the ground, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Kakuzu. We're here to hire you."

A bit helpless, the Insect man had no choice but to say this to Kakuzu.

"Hire?"

It seemed that this statement was a bit interesting, and Kakuzu stopped leaving, before turning around to glance at the Insect man again.

"We are planning to set up a company, but we still lack a financial management officer with better ability, and the salary is very good. You just need to sort out the financial problems of our company on a regular basis every month."

"How much money can I earn?"

Kakuzu directly asked about the compensation .

Whether it is a bounty task or a hiring task, for him, it's the same as long as he can make money.

And the other party didn't want him to join any messy organization, just to help their company find financial problems and loopholes.

It is a non-combat financial expert who is temporarily appointed and does not accept any extra orders.

If you can earn a lot of extra money while performing bounty tasks, there is no reason to refuse this kind of thing.

"You will be paid once a month, and the remuneration is 500,000 taels to 1,000,000 taels."

As for whether you can get 500,000 taels or one million taels per month, it depends on your ability. This is exactly what the Insect man expresses.

"I'll get 12 million taels of extra money a year."

Kakuzu's tone was flat, but he was very confident in his financial ability.

"It's amazing self-confidence, I hope we can have good cooperation. After that, we will send someone to draw up a standard contract, no problem, Mr. Kakuzu?"

Insect Man smiled slightly.

"It's up to you."

Kakuzu carried the corpse and walked away without any hesitation.

Insect Man watched Kakuzu leave, an interesting guy.

Immediately came up with some information about Kakuzu.

The reputation and ability ranks among the best in the underground black market, which can be called having an iron wall's defense and bottom line.

No one is more credible than him when it comes to ​​money.

This is the unanimous evaluation of all the people who know him in the underground black market.

A man who will not betray money, and a man who will not be betrayed by money.

◎

Two days later, Kakuzu got a document.

It was sent by the man named 'Insect Man'.

In addition to stating the type of work he wants to do, the hours of work, the salary, and when it will be paid are clearly stated.

After a few glances, Kakuzu roughly figured out what he was going to do and how much work he had to do.

It's not too time-consuming, but it requires very professional personnel to handle it without the slightest flaw.

Because the amount involved is huge.

A little carelessness can lead to financial loopholes and problems for the operation of the company.

After that, Kakuzu also learned some information about the newly founded company, as well as the industry type.

Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.

That's the company's name.

A pharmaceutical company integrating R&D, production and sales.

It can be known that this is a company that mainly sells medicines to make money.

At present, more than a dozen new drugs that can be marketed have been developed, and they are being processed and mass-produced, and they will soon be available for sale.

The consumers of the company's products are all countries in the ninja world.

The company's headquarters is located in the land of demons.

And Aster is the national flower of the country of demons. With Aster Flower as the company name, it is not difficult to imagine the close connection between this company and the ruling class of the country of demons.

Maybe they have already contacted the officials of the country of demons and agreed to provide convenience as a neutral country.

The Ninja world is headed by the five major countries, followed by special neutral countries, such as the country of demons and the country of iron.

Small country again.

There are also strong and weak among small countries, and there are serious classifications.

There is also a huge gap in national strength between a small country with Ninja Village and a small country with No Ninja Village.

Among them, neutral countries are quite special.

They are different from the small countries that are oppressed by the five major powers. They have an independent culture, independent national sovereignty, and armed organizations to protect the country.

Neither participate in wars between great powers, nor will they be affected by wars.

After reading all this, Kakuzu nodded slightly.

In these chaotic times of frequent fighting, establishing the company in the land of demons is indeed a wise move.

Since the company has not been officially listed, Kakuzu is not in a hurry to go to them to do accounting.

Instead, take out the bounty list and look for the targets above.

High bounty targets are his hunting targets.

As for the low-to-medium bounty targets, being on the list means that they have potential.

Potential means it will appreciate in value.

Therefore, if the reward target is lower than 10,000,000 taels, he will not actively hunt, but will hunt when they can no longer appreciate, so as to maximize the money.

Getting rid of these potential stocks too early will only reduce your income.

To be a bounty hunter, you must have long-term patience while waiting for your prey to appreciate in value.

For example, the Insect man, although there are only 500,000 taels now, but Jiao believes that in a few years, his value can be increased dozens of times.

Then it's time to take his head off.

As for the issue of the Insect man being his employer...

There is no direct conflict between helping him do the accounting and exchanging his corpse for money.

The task of financial management is based on his principles and limits, and he will meticulously complete it.

But the bounty target that can greatly appreciate in value cannot be let go.

Therefore, the two are not in conflict.

Kakuzu put the list away in order to pick up, not a corpse, but a black suitcase full of money.

Carrying a black suitcase, he once again embarked on the road of hunting the bounty target by himself.

But he is not alone because he has money to accompany him along the way.

Money is his belief.

Can bring him the last warmth of humanity.

It doesn't matter who you kill today, how many people you kill.

Whether he will be killed tomorrow, it doesn't matter who killed him.

Living is not happiness, and death is not worth lamenting.

The important thing is that he is now on a bright and profitable path.

Dive deep into a world full of betrayal and wars.

Because...

In this world where only money can bring glory, everyone is hopeless.

This is the experience of a scarred old man who has lived in the world for decades, encountered betrayal and escaped, and then embarked on the road of killing people and making money.

Carrying a suitcase full of money, he left the crowd, out of step with everyone.

Then he walked out of the town and walked on the country road under the setting sun.

From start to finish, one person is on the road.
