“Did you read it clearly?” Luo Feng asked him.
Sword-Door King had a tall and mighty body, making Luo Feng look like a short child in front of him. However, he, a supreme expert who had dominated the Jinlan Cosmic Country, was now panicking. Seeing all the clearly described terms on the list, he was stunned. At this moment, Sword-Door King had no thought of resistance at all, only regret.
“I’ve read it clearly, Prince Luo Feng. You… I… I…” Sword-Door King stammered.
The list contained three main terms.
Firstly, all businesses, companies, and assets of the Ross family would be transferred to the Luo family free of charge at 99%, leaving only 1% to the Ross family. Within half a day, the Ross family must send a team to Nine-Star Bay to handle the asset handover.
Secondly, all Ross family members involved in this conflict must be handed over to the Luo family for their disposal.
Thirdly, a cash compensation of 1 billion Mixed Yuan units.
“At least 1% of the family assets are left for the Ross family to survive on,” Luo Feng looked at him. “Moreover, I’m only asking for those involved in the conflict. Without these scums, it would actually benefit your Ross family. As for the 1 billion Mixed Yuan units… it should still be manageable for a King-level immortal at the initial stage, right?”
“These three terms I’ve set leave room, not pushing too hard. I’ve already been quite merciful,” Luo Feng said.
Sword-Door King was almost in tears.
Merciful?
Heavens!
99% of the family assets! Once transferred, the Ross family’s vast assets accumulated over countless eons would be nearly lost overnight, leaving only crumbs.
“Prince Luo Feng, I’m merely an immortal at the initial King-level. Many peak Marquis-level experts would be bankrupt to gather 100 million Mixed Yuan units. I’m only slightly better off than them. Even if I sell all my treasures, it would be hard to gather 1 billion Mixed Yuan units,” Sword-Door King looked urgently at Luo Feng, pleading, “I naturally will do my utmost as you said, but I really can’t come up with it…”
Luo Feng looked at him coldly.
Sword-Door King gradually quieted under Luo Feng’s gaze.
“Remember,” Luo Feng said coldly, “you must fulfill all three terms, and this matter will be settled. If not… you know the consequences.”
Sword-Door King was drenched in cold sweat.
“I understand, I understand,” Sword-Door King nodded hastily.
“Go then. I’ll give you seven days to gather the 1 billion Mixed Yuan units. As for the family asset handover, you must send someone to Nine-Star Bay within half a day,” Luo Feng waved his hand.
“Yes,” though bitter at heart, Sword-Door King could only obediently leave.
Luo Feng looked at Sword-Door King’s seemingly desolate back with a cold sneer in his heart. After wandering in the battlefield for so long, he clearly knew the assets of a typical initial King-level immortal. Although some initial King-level immortals might really struggle to come up with 1 billion Mixed Yuan units, Sword-Door King was the disciple of the Jinlan Venerable!
As a disciple of a Cosmic Venerable, how could the Cosmic Venerable not give his disciple some weapons and treasures? Gathering 1 billion Mixed Yuan units should not be too difficult.
…
In the virtual universe, on the Jinlan Continent, inside a luxurious mansion of the Ross family.
Inside the quiet hall.
Sword-Door King sat alone on the throne, his face dark and stormy, his heart burning with anger and regret: “I shouldn’t have been greedy back then, silently approving their actions. Gaining only 100 million Mixed Yuan units in benefit, now I have to pay so much. This Luo Feng is indeed ruthless.”
“This gamble, I’ve lost,” Sword-Door King thought bitterly.
When Luo Feng first went missing, rumors said he had perished. At first, it was just spreading, but later, a series of internal movements within the Luo family made some people suspect whether Luo Feng had truly perished.
To verify this…
Infiltrating the Luo family, planting spies, all sorts of methods were used.
Some forces even paid the Ross family 100 million Mixed Yuan units to ‘test’ the Luo family, after all, the ‘Ross family’ was under Sword-Door King’s control, and conflicts with the Luo family… such things could not possibly be orchestrated solely by that seventh-generation grandson. Indeed, Sword-Door King had silently approved.
He dared not openly offend Luo Feng, merely acting as a ‘vanguard’ to test the Luo family for a gain of 100 million Mixed Yuan units, why not?
If Luo Feng had perished… this money was earned too easily.
If Luo Feng had not perished… it wouldn’t be enough to cost him his life. Moreover, from beginning to end, he never showed his face, it was all handled by the seventh-generation grandson, with his silent approval in the shadows.
“Head.”
“Head.”
In the great hall, over a hundred senior members of the Ross family appeared in unison, kneeling respectfully below, their voices echoing in the hall.
Looking down at his clansmen below, Sword-Door King’s face grew even darker. He muttered to himself, “That Luo Feng is indeed ruthless. He also knows that if he pushes me too hard, I will escape to my teacher. After all, it’s only a minor conflict on the surface, he can’t force my teacher to hand me over, and he dares not offend a Cosmic Venerable directly.”
“He is now pushing me to the very limit, not killing me, but pressing me to the extreme.”
“99% of the family assets being stripped away, seemingly ‘mercifully’ leaving 1%, I would rather he take all the family assets than demand the 1 billion Mixed Yuan units.” Sword-Door King muttered bitterly. The greatest asset of a family was actually the wealth of its strongest member, just like the greatest asset of the Luo family was the wealth owned by Luo Feng himself.
The hall was silent.
Over a hundred senior members of the Ross family knelt there, while Sword-Door King coldly looked down at them, the killing aura spreading.
“Quickly organize a team, head to Nine-Star Bay on the Black Dragon Mountain Island, meet the Luo family, and carry out the asset handover. Hand over 99% of our Ross family’s assets to the Luo family.” Sword-Door King’s voice was low, yet it felt like a heavy hammer striking each person’s chest, leaving the senior members of the Ross family stunned.
“What?”
“99%?”
“Why doesn’t he just rob us?”
“This is too much.” The senior members of the Ross family were immediately alarmed.
Sword-Door King suddenly roared, “Silence!”
Everyone dared not utter a word.
“When we were fighting the Luo family earlier, why didn’t any of you try to stop it? And why didn’t anyone inform me?” Sword-Door King raged at those below. The senior members of the clan muttered inwardly; who among them dared to stop back then? Also, two of them had tried to contact Sword-Door King before, but at that time, Sword-Door King had turned off the virtual universe network reception.
They couldn’t get through at all!
“Hurry up and organize a team,” Sword-Door King barked.
“Yes.”
…
The conflict between the Ross family and the Luo family had indeed been secretly observed by some people. When Sword-Door King issued orders to the family elders and raged angrily, the news almost spread from within the Ross family within half an hour.
“The Ross family has backed down. It seems, Luo Feng has returned.”
“99% of the family assets? It’s probably just one of the terms. Luo Feng is indeed ruthless, making the entire Ross family almost relocate entirely! This is an absolute slap in the face, and Sword-Door King has completely lost face.”
…
“Hahaha, this Prince Luo Feng is indeed too soft, too merciful. After returning, he didn’t even kill Sword-Door King. If it were me, I would have killed him directly.”
“Brother, Sword-Door King might be with the Jinlan Venerable. Killing him won’t be easy.”
…
“Ancestor, the Ross family is the strongest family in our Jinlan Cosmic Country, aside from the royal family. Are they really going to vanish like this? The countless star regions and planets they controlled, are they all gone?”
“Yes, they’re gone.”
“Just like that…”
“Child, remember! The most important thing for a family is the super powerful immortal supporting it. Like those mid-level cosmic nations, they are usually founded by an ordinary immortal god. If the immortal god perishes, naturally the nation collapses. For such super families, even Sword-Door King has to bow, so the family must sacrifice significant interests.”
“Ancestor, it seems business and trade are secondary. The strength of powerful experts is the foundation.”
“Yes, not only within the human race, but among countless other races, it’s always a case of the strong devouring the weak. Our human race is powerful, so we can possess countless treasures and resources. While weaker races, even if they obtain treasures, will have them forcibly taken away. So, child, you must work hard! A family with two super powerful experts… is more likely to continue its legacy.”
“Yes, Ancestor.”
…
Regarding the Ross family of the Jinlan Cosmic Country transferring vast star regions, countless planets, companies, and assets to the Luo family. This event was known to many super families in the universe on the first day… As time passed, due to the massive upheaval it caused, even the weaker forces, such as empires, families, organizations, etc., came to know of it.
They also felt… the domineering nature of the Luo family, and that the Luo family was not to be trifled with.
“Dad, I toast you.”
“Dad.”
“Uncle.”
“Uncle.”
Inside Nine-Star Bay, Luo Feng’s entire family was gathered together, including his younger brother Luo Hua’s wife and children were also at the table. Luo Hua currently had only one wife, but he had nine children. Unlike Luo Feng, who had been adventuring outside… younger brother Luo Hua had always stayed at home. Over time, he naturally had more children.
A large table full of people, bustling with joy.
“Haha…” Luo Feng stood up, smiling as he drank with the younger generation.
“Ah Hua, it’s been so many years, you’ve had quite a few kids,” Luo Feng smiled at the group of young people.
“Don’t you see how long you’ve been gone? 6,000 years!” Luo Hua also laughed.
Xu Xin also glanced at Luo Feng with a sideways look.
Luo Feng was speechless.
Oops.
It was indeed his fault, spending too little time with his wife. However, he was a World Lord, the stronger he became, the harder it was to have children, and Xu Xin’s body had changed, making it likely difficult for her to bear more children.
The whole family ate happily, soon the children left.
Luo Feng and Xu Xin were also whispering to each other.
“Xu Xin, while I’m away, the family also needs a powerful guardian. I plan to cultivate some immortal plant lives,” Luo Feng said. Xu Xin glared at him with displeasure: “Wait for you? That would take forever. Didn’t you leave 5 billion Mixed Yuan units for the family before? After discussion, we took a portion of it and cultivated three more plants, originally the World Lord ninth-rank Cloud Vine and Star-Eating Grass, which became immortal gods, including one with Marquis-level power.”
Luo Feng was at a loss for words.
“Good, good,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. “Regarding family security, I’ll make proper arrangements after returning from the battlefield. I’ve stayed home for quite some time already, so I’ll focus on battlefield matters first.”
“Go ahead, your matters are important,” Xu Xin quickly said.
Luo Feng smiled.
This time, he stayed with his family in the virtual universe for three full days, just to make up for the time with his family. As for dealing with Tianzhen King? 6,000 years had already passed, three more days wouldn’t matter.
“Alright, handle it and come back,” Luo Feng kissed his wife, then smiled and vanished into thin air, his consciousness already leaving the virtual universe.
