"I didn't expect you would come at this critical moment."
Looking at the group of people who were unwilling to leave but had to leave, Dante sighed and quickly glanced at the people around him.
Fortunately, I haven't lost weight, so I should be doing pretty well.
At this time, Li Yi was still wearing a large cloak, and I don't know how he could tell.
"I'm here to ask for money."
Li Yi had no intention of reminiscing with the "father" in front of him.
Despite what happened before, the father and son have a good understanding.
Almost from the moment the other party issued the statement, Li Yi was already making plans.
It was precisely because of the advance layout that he and Ying were able to fight their way out of the encirclement of many masters, and also thwarted the conspiracy of the nobles.
I don’t know how the seven families would feel if they knew that the person who thwarted their plan to force the palace this time was still the world’s most spiritual person, the heir to the Surota family.
Of course, Li Yi would not be complacent about this.
It just happened to happen.
His purpose has always been pure.
Just came to ask for money.
Therefore, as soon as the seven families left, before Dante could say anything, he proposed his intention.
"...want money?"
"right."
"Why do you need money? Don't you have money to eat? No problem, Tian..."
"you misunderstood."
Li Yi interrupted Dante's move to recruit the butler.
"I want a lot, not just food, but a lot of people to eat. Do you understand what I mean?"
After careful consideration, Li Yi felt that he could give a little hint.
After all, if things go well in the future, some secret help will be needed.
The Zulota family is the most reliable among them... and may also be the biggest obstacle.
"Okay, tell me how much you want, and I'll have someone deliver it to you."
I originally thought that the other party would hesitate, or at least ask for the purpose, but unexpectedly Dante didn't ask at all and called the butler again.
Looking at Tian, who was standing aside with a pen and paper in a posture reserved for aristocratic butlers, Li Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.
After thinking about it, he still reported the number.
"One hundred million."
"Remember, one hundred million...what? One hundred million? Why do you need so much money?"
Hearing this number, Dante couldn't help but exclaimed.
Maybe you don't have much idea about this amount.
Let's put it this way, the entire Frodi Dynasty's annual tax revenue is 10 million.
In other words, Li Yi's opening was the total tax revenue of the kingdom in ten years.
However, the matter is not over yet.
Li Yi continued.
"This is just the first issue...there will be more to follow..."
Now that the words have been spoken, Li Yi simply stated all his "financial plans" in one breath.
Except that it didn’t say the specific use, it basically said it all.
And this can be considered an explicit statement.
After all, as a family head, he knows the expenses of the entire family.
Although the specific use of the scheduling and distribution of this money is not stated, this approach is already very immersive.
Isn't this the most basic allocation of daily expenses for an organization?
Almost instantly Dante understood what his son was going to do.
To be honest, if this was before he announced the severance of relations, Dante would be very happy.
After all, this family still has to be handed over to his son.
Isn't it the same as paying in the morning and paying in the evening?
If he could participate in the succession of these affairs in advance, it would be too late for Dante to be happy.
But before that, he had already declared to sever ties.
Although both of them knew that it was only a temporary expedient.
But my son made such a request at this point in time...
Dante suddenly felt a little creepy.
Because he thought of a very possible fact.
This possible fact made him break into a cold sweat.
Wait, is this really his son?
Well, if you think about it carefully, this kid has been talented in military affairs since he was a child. Doing this kind of thing is in line with his personality... Bah, bah, bah, this thing is going to take off your head!
Dante gathered his nerves, steeled himself, and continued to ask tentatively.
"Are you...sure you want the money? Do you want to think about it?"
Li Yi looked into his eyes.
He understood that the other party wanted him to give up.
So he refused in a very natural way.
"Are you reluctant to give up?"
"...You know that's not what I meant."
Dante said helplessly.
What can he do about his own pet peeve, no matter how unreasonable the request is?
You don’t have to agree yet!
Well, not to mention the current situation, it’s hard to say how it will proceed!
Dante was already comforting himself.
"Okay, then go back and I'll have the money sent over."
Dante waved his hand and then lowered his voice.
"When you leave later, remember to go to the back door. It's safe there. Also, remember to visit your mother's grave..."
Li Yi looked up in surprise when he heard this and glanced at the middle-aged man who was a little thin.
He didn't expect that the other party would suddenly say such a thing.
"Okay, I'll go."
After a moment of silence, Li Yi finally agreed to Dante's "request".
He knew very well that at this moment, the other party was not the head of a big family, nor the actual controller of the cavalry army, nor the strategist who would immediately draw a clear line with him.
He is just an ordinary father and husband.
Looking at the departing figure, Dante sighed again.
"He's grown up!"
"Congratulations, sir, you can finally rest."
The butler Tian on the side bowed respectfully and congratulated him.
Dante waved his hand.
"It's still early, and I have to stand as the last guard for him. Go ahead and take out half of my collection and send it all to him."
"Sir, are you serious? Those are all..."
Even the mature and steady Tian Tian glanced at his master in surprise when he heard these words.
Not that he was questioning his master.
At least he thinks it's still too early for the little master at the moment.
"It's okay. I think Jace has changed a lot after this trip. Although he is still very willful sometimes... Haha, it is normal for a child of his age to have a childish temper! But it is much better."
"More importantly."
At this point, Dante's expression became much more serious.
"He has already initially shown his talent, and..."
"A person with spiritual characteristics, huh, I think that now is the right time, maybe my Sulota family will also..."
…
"By the way, do you think your father is a bit nagging?"
"Really? I don't know, and I don't know him."
Li Yi walked towards the back door casually, and soon he saw a small mountain peak.
He knew that this was where Dante said the original owner's mother was buried, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Completing the task as quickly as possible so that he can get the money is what he cares about most.
As for the status of the original owner's father, he didn't care.
Then Curtis said something that aroused his vigilance.
"I always feel like he sees through your identity, but I don't know why he doesn't reveal it."
"Why do you say that? Also, I didn't see it!"
"Well, maybe I saw it wrong?"
Curtis was not sure, but he knew very well that he had never had this unusual premonition before.
So, what went wrong?
Thinking like this, Li Yi saw the hill where his mother was said to be buried.
Then he saw a man.
Tian!
Why is he here?
Also, what's his expression?
Looking at the solemn expression on the other party's face, Li Yi vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
