“Fuck!”

“My god!”

“My fucking god!!”

As Seventh brother inventorised Ye Lang’s things, he would periodically swear, because the list of items was far outside his expectations, completely unthinkable!

“Even though I already knew that Thirteenth, that brat, was special, but I didn’t think he would be this special. Who would’ve thought he had so many unexpected assets under his name……”

At this time Third brother was bored and had nothing to do, so he was looking through Ye Lang’s things with Seventh brother. Not only him, many others were also looking on from the side, because they were all curious just what assets Ye Lang, this godly prodigal son, possessed.

“He owns a seventy percent stake in the Dongming Lake restaurant that has recently become the Soaring Sky Empire’s, perhaps even the continent’s, most famous restaurant!”

“He’s in sole possession of the West Mountain iron mine, where the largest iron deposit in history was recently discovered……”

“He even has a stake in the Anna mercenary company. *Cough*, I’ve heard about it before but it’s still unexpected.”

“Old Seven, your stuff doesn’t account for much, if you look at this you’ll be even more amazed!”

“What?! My god, this brat even has another city! And it’s even that city that’s been developing greatly recently!”

Within Seventh brother’s hand was a contract Ye Lang had obtained from who knows where. The words on it effectively transferred a city and a city lord’s position to Ye Lang, on top of it was an undoubtedly authentic signature.

That is to say, the first city Ye Lang obtained wasn’t this Ye city, but another city.

Although Ye Lang’s assets came in all kinds of shapes and colors, but most of them shared one point in common, which was that most of them were originally money sinks. They were assets others couldn’t get rid of fast enough and Ye Lang had accepted them to be prodigal.

As a result, even though many of them had continued losing money and achieved Ye Lang’s goal – being prodigal, but among them many assets had experienced a change in fortune and started making abnormally large profits!

Consequently, as they took inventory they would say “recently etc etc………”

“Old seven, this time you lucked out. You can do whatever you want, poor me on the other hand is a general without an army. I don’t even have a single subordinate.” Third brother sighed. Seventh brother had found his interest, but he hadn’t.

He was a genius in military affairs, but right now this city wasn’t walking down that path. How was he supposed to play? Furthermore, right now he didn’t have any soldiers under him, not even one.

“Don’t worry, although we’re founding an independent city we will still need the ability to fight off invaders. There will be some soldiers for you to command. I’m sure they’ll arrive soon, when the time comes, it will all come down to you!” Ye Yi at this time hadn’t yet left. It wasn’t because he wanted to take part in the conversation, but because he was waiting for his subordinates to put the house in order.

“That’s good then, only, there aren’t many large wars here, ai…..” Third brother became excited for a moment, but then immediately became crestfallen. Even if they annexed all of their surroundings, it wouldn’t interest him. It still wouldn’t be as big as one of the Soaring Sky Empire’s skirmishes, to say nothing of the fact that their policy was not one of invading and conquering.

“Third brother, why are you so stupid?If there aren’t any here, why not go elsewhere. You only need to leave a group here to defend while you lead the rest as mercenaries to fight elsewhere. This way you can train troops while also making money!” Seventh brother illuminated the path to take for third brother. Of course, his other objective was very clear:

This was a source of income!

“Although your goal is base, but this idea can still be considered decent!” Third brother disdained Seventh brother, but amended his statement, “You have to provide military expenses and any money we make goes right back to the military!”
