Chapter 185

Raiden Makoto's face flushed slightly, for this was the first time a man had stood so close to her. Jiang Yan, meanwhile, let out a chuckle.

"Then, my lord Lei Shen, I believe our cooperation will make Inazuma even more prosperous!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yan extended his hand.

Raiden Makoto, her face still slightly flushed, clasped his hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Well then, my mission is complete~"

After shaking hands with Raiden Makoto, Jiang Yan chuckled lightly and walked out.

"By the way, my name is Jiang Yan. You may remember it; from now on, just call me by my name."

Before stepping out the door, Jiang Yan looked back at the people behind him, a bright smile on his face.

"After all, starting tomorrow, Inazuma and Liyue will officially begin friendly trade cooperation."

"And we are friends now, aren't we?"

Having finished speaking, Jiang Yan closed the door and walked out without waiting for anyone's response.

Only Raiden Makoto, her sister, and a few others like Kitsune Saiguu and Torachiyomi were left behind.

"Honestly, who said we were friends with him!"

Torachiyomi only dared to flare up after Jiang Yan had left.

"Even if I don't want to be, there's no choice, is there?"

Kitsune Saiguu, smoothing Torachiyomi's fur while sighing, looked utterly exhausted.

Throughout it all, Raiden Ei said nothing, merely staring silently in the direction Jiang Yan had departed, wondering what she was thinking.

Raiden Makoto looked at her own hand, the one that had just shaken Jiang Yan's, murmuring softly.

"Jiang Yan..."

Unlike Raiden Makoto and the others, who sat in the Tenshukaku with varied expressions, Jiang Yan, once outside, suddenly spread his arms wide, his face alight with excitement.

"Ah! Finally finished!"

"Finally, I can start my long-awaited..."

"Treasure Chest Purge Plan!!"
