Girl of House Liu
This sort of ransom was unprecedented. He’d never heard of it before! Dazhou’s face went green and white, but there was nothing he could do to him! Who knew what the consequences of pissing off Lin Yi were. The guy killed people from both Houses Yu and Xiao, let alone some guy called Zhen Dazhou!
And Lin Yi said so himself. If he didn’t pay up, then he would go to Donghai to tear down his business! This gave him a sense of humiliation! Only now did he realize what true evil looked like. He was nothing compared to Lin Yi!
“Five hundred million… I don’t have that much…” Dazhou said as he suppressed his anger.
“Okay, then just give me what you have first.” Lin Yi said. “We’ll have it written on paper what you owe me.”
“Alright!” Dazhou gritted his teeth. “I only have two hundred fifty million right now.”
He knew that all he had to do now was endure. By the time Ma Zhu’s master came, Lin Yi would be forced to spit out all the money he’s taken from him! Since he was doing this daylight robbery to him right now he’d do the same to him when he had the power! He would ask Lin Yi and Pengzhan for money with Ma Zhu’s master with him! If not, he’d kill his entire family!
Dazhou now had already forgotten completely about the punishment House Xiao, Yu, and Zhao Qibin suffered. Those who threatened Lin Yi’s entire family were all killed! But, it didn’t quite matter to Dazhou right now, since as far as he was concerned Ma Zhu’s master was invincible, much more powerful than Lin Yi as an Earth class, as well as the holder of an Eight Level Golden Shield! Unless some meteor or something slammed into him, normal construction machines wouldn’t be able to do anything to him!
And as powerful as Lin Yi was, there was no way he could go across so many levels and fight such an invincible enemy! After all, he was a Mystic and the difference between Mystic and Earth were akin to different worlds! With that thought, he took in a deep breath and remembered this rage, thinking that he’d use it when Jin Wudi came to avenge his disciple Ma Zhu!
“Two hundred fifty million?” Lin Yi frowned. “I already gave you two hundred fifty million, how come that’s all you have?”
“I did have money before, but I used it to heal Zhen Yingjun’s sickness…” Dazhou’s eyes filled with rage at hat point, this kid dared ask him where the money went! If it weren’t for him he wouldn’t be spending so much to fix his son!
“Alright then, just give me two hundred fifty million first. Here, this is the account…” Lin Yi gave him an account.
Dazhou didn’t try anything funny, and instantly gave him the money along with an IOU.
Yanjing, House Liu.
While the events taking place these few days had nothing to do with Liu Tianyi, he was a man who was more focused on Songshan’s state than anyone else!
Lin Yi was injured, and had lost all his strength! This was the information he received!
House Liu was in a mess when they received the news!
Liu Zhenhu’s son Liu Tianli came home with an angry look on his face. “Big brother, I really have to say this. How could you just lend that money out like that? House Liu’s money doesn’t come from some tree, I earned that myself! You’re the inheritor of the house, and when you asked me to lend you money I gave it without a second thought- but shouldn’t you do research on the person you’re lending it too to see if he can return it? Now everybody’s all going to this Lin Yi for trouble, who knows if he’d even have his life in his hands, let alone paying us back!”
“Tianli, we need to look further than just the present. Even if Lin Yi’s lost his fighting abilities, he still has his medical abilities. He would reach the peak of this world sooner or later!” Tianyi said, not as worried about the state of Songshan.
“What use is medical abilities when he’s dead?” Tianli said, insistent.
“Dad, I think uncle’s right. This Lin Yi, if he really is as powerful and great as uncle says he is, then doing this during his most dire time of need would give us a huge amount of potential support in the future!” Zhenhu’s daughter, a young girl, interrupted. “House Liu came into power through business politics, but we have no practitioners. This is a hurdle for our house’s development. We have the marriage with House Wu, but we ourselves are still a little too weak, we need another support! Sometimes gambles must be made. This one hundred million, we can see it as a gamble. Winning it would bring us an unimaginable amount of benefits, and if we lose, then find, one hundred million it is. If you think it’ll be a thorn for you, dad, you can cut it out from my salary…”
This girl was Liu Tianli’s daughter Liu Jinghan, the genius daughter of House Liu who had been doing business by Tianli’s side since she was fifteen. To the outside, House Liu’s business was managed by Tianli, but those who knew insider’s information, shared by the big noble houses, knew very well that it was this fifteen-year-old pretty girl who was the one behind the wheel!
At fifteen, she started a business. At sixteen, she doubled House Liu’s businesses, and at seventeen, she doubled it again. Her eighteenth birthday had just passed, and Liu Zhenhu gave her a pass to attend the big family meetings of House Liu!
Zhenhu, evidently, was already treating Jinghan as the third inheritor of House Liu, and was training her for that. The only regrettable part was that she was a girl! After she ascended the seat of the family unless her children were named Liu… There’d be no future inheritors under this family line! They’ll have to choose from some other descendant within the line.
“Tianli, Jing Jing is right, you have to set your sights farther!” Zhenhu opened his mouth as well. “If Lin Yi were to successfully breakthrough this time of trouble, then we would have established a good connection with him. House Liu, in the future, would benefit greatly from that! Your business abilities are good, but you’re still behind on looking at the grander picture compared to Jing Jing. You have much to learn!”
“Yes, father!” Tianli didn’t have much else to say now that his own father spoke up. After all, he himself was very impressed with his daughter.
“Every year, at the noble house meetings, House Liu is always on the weaker side. We have no special pills and no treasures. Practically no one on the trade fairs trade with us, and we don’t have anyone to participate in the martial tournaments. House Chen’s old man had retired for a few years, and House Chen isn’t much better than House Xiao… But they have Chen Yutian, a golden class master! He might very well breakthrough, and so House Chen isn’t in too much of a concerning state!” Zhenhu said. “But Tianyi isn’t young anymore. Once he backs down and no longer has a position in the world of politics, then there’d be a problem. With just our businesses we can never maintain our status as a noble house! I’m still alive now, so some old connections pay me respect, but once I’m gone, House Liu will fall!”
