“Okay, these are all my assets. You figure out what to do with them, I’m not giving you my money!” Ye Lang carelessly threw over all his long dormant contracts and deed, scaring Seventh brother who, promptly used his rarely seen high-level abilities to catch all of those things.
“You can keep your money to spend as you see fit. It’s not much anyways, certainly not as valuable as these. They wouldn’t be too useful anyways.”Seventh brother carelessly said. He only wanted these assets and not plain money.
“I don’t know if you’re right about it not being worth as much, it’s quite a bit!” Ye Lang enticingly said. He wanted Seventh brother to beg him again and acted as if he was guarding a treasure.
“How much, ten or twenty thousand?” Seventh brother disdainfully said.
“Che, that time I bet on Fatty winning alone I won several hundred thousand. To express my displeasure, I made them convert it all into gold to pay me. Let me tell you, the gold I have here could squish all of you flat!” The edges of Ye Lang’s mouth curved upwards as he replied in the same disdainful tone.
“Thirteenth, your brother was wrong, take out your gold, squish me flat!” Seventh brother looked at Ye Lang with glowing eyes.
Several hundred thousand, and that was just one incident. If there were other cases, doesn’t that mean the total could reach the millions?
“If I squished you to death wouldn’t Seventh sister-in-law come looking for revenge? I’m not that stupid! I’m leaving, I need to go back home and rest. I just spent the last two days getting nagged nonstop. I haven’t slept at all!” Ye Lang yawned and prepared to go back to his hotel to sleep.
“Where are you going back to?” Princess Qi asked at this time.
“Back to the hotel, is something wrong?” Ye Lang asked foolishly.
“Of course there’s something wrong, don’t forget, right now you’re the little king of this place. This is your palace…… forget it, let’s call it a mansion, this isn’t like a palace at all.”
“Oh, that’s right, right now I’m already the king of this place. Wait no, I don’t want to be called king. This run down place can’t be called a kingdom. We don’t need a kingdom either, let’s just call this place Something City from now on!” Ye Lang, at this time remembered that he had already won this place in its entirety. If he wanted to sleep, he could just sleep here.
“Something City? What kind of name is that, also, why don’t you want the kingdom, but want the city? If you do that, wouldn’t you come under the control of others?” Someone doubtfully asked.
“Something City, I haven’t thought of what to call it, so for now let’s just call it that.” Ye Lang saying this was something many people had already guessed.
“As for coming under the control of others, who said that the city has to be under the control of a country? We are a city that doesn’t belong to any country, everything is under the control of the city lord.” Ye Lang’s words confused some people.
“Isn’t that the same as a small kingdom?” Many people expressed their confusion.
“It’s not the same, a small kingdom is a country, but a city is a city! This city won’t have any kind of national boundary and will cause people to lose their sense of being part of a country. Naturally there will be many people coming here to do things that require freedom such as trade…..” Ye Lang’s words confused people even more. They didn’t understand what he really meant.
However, some people understood and from their eyes light could be seen, indicating that they understood!
“Correct, we are a city, an independent city! Throw away the outside of a kingdom, do away with the military, found a city centered entirely around trade!” Seventh brother’s eyes lit up. It looked like he was eager to try it, the sooner he could see what the city would grow into, the better.
