Chapter 21: The Gift

  The city of Chelyabinsk, it governs more than a dozen ordinary cities and many rural towns, with tens of millions of residents in its territory. It can be said that one Chelyabinsk is enough to rival a principality.

  And a lord of a castle in Cherkasy region has a status equivalent to that of a Grand Duke of a principality!

  "At the age of fourteen, he's going to become the lord of a county town, how enviable!" Many people in the taverns of Chel County Town began to discuss.

  The deaths of the three siblings in a fire also clarified the already somewhat complicated succession in Chell County.

  Undoubtedly.

  Kein, who has the blood of the Jax family, will definitely inherit the position of the lord of the county city.

  "The countess went to rob a house in the dead of night, but she didn't think that she would lose her own life. What an irony!" An old man with a red beard said with a laugh, holding a large mug of beer.

  "It's said that he was burned to death." someone beside him said.

  "How could it be a fire that killed them, with so many city guards around? If there was really a fire, how would the countess and her family not have escaped?" A thin man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you a secret, those three siblings of the countess were murdered, and then set on fire."

  The people around him suddenly looked at him.

  "This is really true." The thin man said confidently.

  "One by one, they're all talking nonsense." A burly man sneered and said, "I'm the city guard, I was there that night. Who knows more, you or me?"

  The thin man immediately laughed dryly: "Brother, I was just joking."

  "The three siblings of the Earl's wife were not burned to death, but should have been blown up." The big man said with conviction, "Burned to death? Wouldn't they have cried for help? But our brothers in that squadron didn't hear a single cry for help from start to finish. It must have been a sudden explosion that blew them up, leaving the three of them no chance to cry for help at all."

  Others nodded, and that skinny guy also nodded.

  Obviously this interpretation is very logical.

  "Never mind Mrs. Vede, now we are the masters of Zhēr County Castle, those two siblings." The big man said loudly after taking a sip of wine.

  ...it's true, the most dazzling ones in Chier County City are originally the underestimated siblings, Zhen Ni and Ji En.

  In the castle of the lord.

  "How can there be so many?" Keen flipped through the gift list in his hand, and looked at the gifts that filled almost the entire room, leaving him speechless.

  As soon as Lady Weide died, many nobles immediately came to curry favor with Keen, sending gifts, beauties, and powerful guards... These nobles all knew that at Keen's age, for the next hundred years, their families would likely be restricted by Keen, the future lord of the city. It was only natural to maintain a good relationship with each other.

  "Not many." Lambert said with a shake of his head beside him.

  Zanni and Keen looked at Lambert in surprise, while Lin Lei sat on one side drinking tea.

  "Grandfather Lambert, isn't this enough?" Jennie exclaimed.

  Lambert shook his head and said, "Miss, young master, these gifts are probably worth tens of millions of gold coins at most. Tens of millions of gold coins... humph! Miss, young master, do you know how much wealth that madam has? I estimate it should be over a thousand million gold coins!"

  "Over ten million gold coins?" Jani and Keen were both stunned.

  They lived in the countryside and had never seen such great wealth before. Lambert, however, had always followed their mother, who also used to live in the castle of the lord, and was familiar with many things.

  "It's only natural, managing hundreds of millions of people for so many years, with the greed of the madam, it would be strange if there weren't a billion gold coins. Unfortunately, we've been unable to find the madam's magic crystal card all along. Even if we found it... I'm afraid that magic crystal card also has the madam's fingerprint on it. We wouldn't be able to withdraw any gold coins." Lambert shook his head helplessly.

  The rules of Shikoku Bank are entirely in favor of Shikoku Bank itself.

  Once a magic crystal card records a fingerprint, this magic crystal card can only be used by that one person. If someone else takes it, it's useless.

  Of course... Those who possess a Magic Crystal Card can go to the Four Nations' Bank and transfer their assets to others.

  But if the holder of the Magic Crystal Card dies suddenly without transferring his assets, then these assets will be swallowed up by the Four Nations Bank. In fact, the Four Nations Bank has no choice but to do so.

  The total amount of gold coins in the Magicrystal cards issued abroad is actually more than ten times the gold reserves of the Four Nations Bank itself.

  However, many super-rich people, so-called billionaires.

  Who would go to the bank to withdraw 100 million gold coins? It's hard to transport even if you take it out. This is also one of the reasons why the Four Nations' Gold Bank dared to issue so many magic crystal cards. And this Four Nations' Gold Bank doesn't dare to issue magic crystal cards indiscriminately, because this is a unified management of the four nations, and behind it are the Martial God 'O'Brian' and that human strongman with the longest lifespan, the 'High Priest'. No one dares to mess around.

  "A million gold coins, gone just like that." Keen said painfully.

  He really minds this huge sum of money.

  "Young master, being a city lord isn't just about collecting wealth, you also need to pay the salaries of the city guards and other expenses such as renovating the city," Lambert said.

  Ji En was taken aback.

  "Ah, does the city lord still want to spend money?" Keen didn't know so much.

  "So I say that these tens of thousands of gold coins are nothing, fortunately, the county town has a fixed treasury, and there should be a lot of money in the treasury," Lambert said.

  "Ah, being a city lord seems so painful and complicated."

  "Sister." Keen looked at Jennie expectantly, "You must help me."

  Jenny nodded very honestly: "Gene, I will definitely help you." This nod, however, made Jenny's subsequent days begin to be painful.

  At this moment, Ginn, Jennie and Lambert all did not know.

  While they were worried about money, Lin Lei, who was sitting next to them drinking tea, possessed a wealth accumulated by the royal family of a kingdom for thousands of years. This wealth is so astonishing that even their own clan, the 'Jaxks Family', which has been managing the Northwestern Province for over a thousand years, may not be able to match it.

  After all, they can't make as much money as the royal family of the kingdom.

  "Zhan Ni, Ji En." Lin Lei suddenly spoke up, "You two continue here, I'll go cultivate first."

  Zhan Ni and Ji Ke looked at Lin Lei, Ji Ke smiled and said: "Lei big brother, don't overdo it with your cultivation tonight, be sure to come for dinner, today... my sister will personally cook."

  Zhan Ni's face turned red immediately.

  Since that banquet, Keen publicly said that Lin Lei was Jennie's fiancé. Many nobles in Chel County really thought so too. Even many servants thought so, naturally making Jennie blush.

  "That's right." Lin Lei smiled and waved his hand.

  Only to see that on the floor of this great hall, four large wooden boxes appeared abruptly, and the wooden boxes were open, inside which were stored various artworks, precious magic crystal nuclei and some rare treasures.

  "What is this?" Jennie and Keane were stunned.

  "This is the property of the Holm family, and I'm not sure about the value of these four large wooden boxes, but it's estimated to be over 10 million. And this." Lin Lei took out eight magic crystal cards, "These are the Holm family's bearer magic crystal cards, a total of eight, each with a fixed quota of one million gold coins."

  This was what Lin Lei had heard from Mrs. Weide's three siblings at first. Only then did he know the quota of this magic crystal card.

  "Zhan Ni, Keen, and even Lambert were all shocked as they stared at Lin Lei."

  "This should add up to almost 10 million gold coins. With this... you won't have to be too frugal in managing the Chel City. Alright, I'm going to cultivate."

  Lin Lei casually threw the eight magic crystal cards into the wooden box and turned around to leave.

  Jenny, Keen and Lambert looked at the four wooden boxes and the eight intricately patterned magic crystal cards, all of them momentarily speechless.

  "Sister." Keane looked at Jennie.

  Zhan Ni muttered: "At first, I asked Lei Gege to protect us and said that we would give him 10,000 gold coins. This..."

  They really didn't know what to say, spending 10,000 gold coins to hire someone, but the other party only took one gold coin as a deposit. But now they're giving away nearly 100 million gold coins worth of wealth to themselves.

  A million gold coins!

  What a terrifying wealth this is.

  At the peak of the Debus family's glory in the Kingdom of Finlay, their assets were nearly 100 million gold coins. After the smuggling incident, their family property declined to only tens of millions of gold coins. Even so, they are still a large family in the Kingdom of Finlay.

  "Miss, young master, this Mr. Lei is really extraordinary." Lambert's expression was very serious.

  Jenny and Keane nodded.

  Nonsense, casually giving someone 10 million gold coins, is it normal?

  "Just now, Mr. Lei waved his hand and four wooden boxes appeared out of thin air. If I'm not mistaken...Mr. Lei possesses a legendary space ring!" Lambert's expression was serious.

  "Space Ring?" Jennie and Keen had never heard of it.

  Lambert nodded, "Yes, the space ring is a priceless treasure. On the Jade Orchid continent, it's a symbol of status and power. A space ring, although there are rumors that someone offered several hundred million gold coins for one. But I've never heard of anyone selling their space ring."

  "Hundreds of millions of gold coins?" Jani and Keen were completely stunned.

  If hundreds of millions of gold coins were piled up in front of them, what a scene would it be? This terrifying wealth, they didn't even dare to think about.

  "In the entire Northwest Province, only the legendary head of the Jax family, who governs the Northwest Province, has a space ring." Lambert had stayed in Chel City for many years and knew some things about the Jax family.

  "Are you talking about... Mackenzie's grandfather?" Keane said immediately.

  The Jax family is most proud of its first patriarch, Jax, and the legendary patriarch Mackenzie Jax.

  Jax was just an ordinary civilian back then, but after he enlisted in the military, he rose through the ranks and made great contributions to the O'Brian Empire, eventually establishing a new legion for the empire - Jax Legion.

  Named after Jax, and later also had the Jax family.

  The contemporary emperor even let Jia Xu manage Xibei Province, and his favor can be seen from this.

  Of course... The first generation of family heads became famous for their ability to lead troops, but as for their personal strength, even until the moment of death, they were only eighth-level warriors.

  But Mackenzie Hjax was a pride of the family, and more than fifty years ago, Mackenzie finally stepped into the sanctuary before the age of two hundred.

  Sacred Realm's Strongest!

  A family produces a Saint Domain expert, as long as this Saint Domain expert does not die, and as long as the family does not rebel, then the glory of this family will not decline.

  "Does Grandpa McKenzie have a space ring?" Keen asked in surprise.

  "Yes, it's still the one that His Majesty the Emperor bestowed upon me personally back then." Lambert said with emotion, "The Jax family has always been proud of it, you know, even some kings on the Yulan continent don't have a spatial ring."

  Keane and Jani fully felt the preciousness of the space ring.

  "But I didn't expect... that Mr. Lei actually also has a spatial ring. No wonder, no wonder he doesn't put one million gold coins in his eyes."

  Ji'en and Zhan Ni both had a suffocating feeling.

  "I thought I was in a high position to inherit the city lord. I can also give Lei Ge a very high official position. But it seems, Lei Ge... " Keen seemed to have realized now.

  The lord of a county town is already as high as heaven for ordinary people.

  But for a strong man like Lin Lei, it's nothing, and he can kill at will.
