Lin family’s new residence.
Before, Lin Batian was the figurehead while Lin Die and Lin Die were in charge of the Lin family’s affairs. After all, they were the only second generation of the Lin family.
However, they also sought help from many people. Lin Chaosheng, Lin Chaoyun, Lin Chengzhi, and other members of the fourth and fifth generation of the family had emerged as young talents.
Lin Die was upset and refused to work. Lin Batian had no choice but to handle it himself. He gathered Lin Chaosheng and others to discuss important matters concerning the Lin family.
"Head of the family, you came just in time. We need to find a solution quickly. Something big is about to happen."
"What happened?"
"We’re out of money. The younger generation in the family haven’t received their allowances for this month yet."
"Master, I need money too. In the battle of Qing State, seventeen members of our Lin family died and eighty-two were injured. We haven’t received any compensation yet. The remaining participants in the war also need to receive a reward."
"Master, it would be best if you took charge. Currently, our Lin family has nine members with a complete golden core. The oldest is already three hundred and sixty years old, and the youngest is over two hundred years old. We can’t wait any longer; we need to find infant treasures for them."
"Master..."
"Wait, you’re doing this on purpose, right?"
Lin Batian got angry again. Every time he appeared, it was always about money. If this wasn’t intentional, then what is it?
"Why would you say that, Master? These are basic necessities for the functioning of the clan. We haven’t taken anything for personal use."
"Then tell me, what else is left in the clan’s treasury?"
"There’s nothing left. We can’t even find ten thousand spirit stones. The limited resources we had were already distributed for the attack on Qing State."
"The focus of the battle with Qing State was on plundering. What about the spoils of war?"
"Lin Wu’s uncle sold them in Shenmu City and only got back less than 30% of the resources. These all belong to the remaining members of the four major sects. They are urging us, so we gave them priority."
"Then let Lin Wu continue selling."
"No, Lin Wu’s shop has closed."
"Why?"
"Shenmu Sect is causing trouble, if we don’t close the shop, they will take everything."
Lin Chaosheng said, without explaining why they’re causing trouble. It’s obvious like lice on a monk’s head.
"Hmph, can a living person be choked to death by urine? Bring out the account books, see how much is missing, I will make up for it."
"All of it?"
"All of it."
Lin Batian waved his hand, the family treasure was out of money, but his personal savings still had some money. As a Void Achieving cultivator, it’s not too much to have a good fortune.
"Okay, family master, please wait a moment."
The group of people glanced at each other, immediately took out the account book, busied themselves and then handed it to Lin Batian for review.
Lin Batian looked at it nonchalantly, but his face suddenly became stiff.
"Is it lacking so much?"
"Yes, exactly this much."
"Uncle, aren’t you going to open the door?"
"We have suffered huge losses – rent, shop expenses, workers’ salaries. These are daily expenses, you know."
"Uncle..."
After closing for nearly half a month, the Lin family’s descendants couldn’t bear it any longer. They were the operators of the business and knew where the costs were. Now they were losing thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars every day. They felt heartbroken.
"Keep calm. Why panic? Once we find a new place, we can just move there."
Lin Jiang said, with no sense of urgency. Once he received his payment, he would withdraw and go to another place to do business. If things didn’t work out, he would return to Yun State. He always had a way out.
"Hey, uncle, I’m getting a bit anxious."
"Don’t worry, just eat and drink, you guys continue, I’ll go first."
Lin Jiang shook his head, he’s not worried at all as the boss, you worker bees are the ones panicking.
Lin Jiang went to get some food, brought it to Lin Die and said. Third Ancestor, they said you love to eat these, so I bought some for you, have some.
"Not hungry, won’t eat."
"Your dad made a mistake, do you need to punish yourself for his mistakes?"
"Nonsense, not eating won’t make me starve, I’m just not in a good mood."
"Actually, Third Auntie doesn’t need to be angry. Xiao Lingyue’s situation is already settled, can’t be changed. And with Xiao Lingyue’s Soul Changing cultivation, she won’t be able to bear children for the family head anymore, so no need to worry about other troubles. Instead, think of it this way, the family head found a talented person for the Lin family, this can be considered a good thing."
"If you can’t give advice, then don’t."
Lin Die rolled her eyes directly. Is he angry about this? If you can’t give advice, then just shut up.
"What Lin Wu said is actually very true."
As soon as Lin Die finished speaking, a voice came from behind Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang didn’t need to turn around to know that it was his fickle father.
"Met the head of the household."
"No need to be so formal, please have a seat."
"Yes."
"Little brother, are you still mad?"
"I’m not angry."
"Even though your eyebrows are furrowed, you’re not angry? Don’t be upset. It was our father who was in the wrong. He apologizes to you."
"Sorry."
"Father came this time to handle the situation. Since the family has financial problems, I will solve it."
Lin Batian said. This matter can be easily resolved. What is the most profitable thing in the world? It’s not advanced technology or monopoly. In his opinion, it’s violence. As long as you have power, you can get anything, including money.
Lin Batian is not the kind of person who lacks ambition just because he is poor. If he doesn’t have money, he will find a way to earn it. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, it’s not embarrassing to take from others, but being taken from is embarrassing.
