"So you are telling me that my brother has been free in the Kingdom of Cantor for a month."
"He blew up the royal city, beat the king, and took away other people's territory."
"In the end, the people of the kingdom were so grateful that they made him the lord of the territory."
"There's even a little daughter named Cravenna!?"
Liya paced back and forth anxiously in the study, glancing at Victor with disbelief from time to time.
If you pick any one of these things at random, it would be quite explosive.
In the end, so many things happened to Victor alone?
How ridiculous!
Victor sat quietly at the desk, turning a blind eye to Liya's anxious reaction.
Liya suddenly stopped, suddenly came to Victor, and slammed the table.
This time, Vega, who was napping on the table, was startled.
All the hair on its body exploded, and its eyes raised slightly.
What caught his eyes was Liya's face that was so angry that it turned red.
Victor looked at Liya calmly, his expression as calm as the surface of a windless lake.
Liya stared at Victor's deep obsidian eyes and asked angrily:
"So you lied to me like this because you thought I was easy to bully?"
"Shur's book has my signature, and the princess can also write it for me..."
"I won't listen!"
Liya held her head and began to pace back and forth in pain again.
Originally, Liya was very happy when Victor came back early in the morning.
After all, Victor has been out for so long. It is impossible to say that Liya does not miss him at all.
Even the attitude in greeting Victor became much more cordial, asking him if he wanted to eat something or if he wanted to rest.
The smile is full of tenderness and care.
But the first thing Victor did when he got home was to call Liya to the study with the excuse of "I have something to tell you."
Then?
And then there’s this whole bunch of things.
Victor told her concisely and concisely in a tone of notification:
"There is an extra piece of territory for our family in the kingdom. You'd better send some of my family's retainers to manage it."
For the first time, Liya thought she had heard wrong.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Are you too tired? It's time for you to rest."
So Victor gave her a definite answer.
The smile on Liya's face gradually collapsed.
That's right, this is no joke, Victor really brought back a piece of territory from the Kingdom of Kanter - Shoulburn.
Oh my God, what on earth did this lord who did nothing think, he actually came back with another piece of territory! ?
Don't think that a new territory is a good thing.
That was for Victor.
This lord who doesn't care about anything, all he needs to do is sit and wait to receive money.
However, Liya wants to do everything herself as much as possible.
This distant territory undoubtedly made her already scarce free time even worse.
She was already tired from traveling back and forth from the royal capital to Braxton.
As a result, there is another Shelburn!
Liya was about to collapse, squatting in the corner with her head in her arms and a look of despair on her face, her mind full of calculations.
The management of Shoulburn undoubtedly requires a lot of manpower.
If there is renovation work on residential buildings, it will be a huge expense.
And it was a kingdom there. Even if Victor became the lord, they would only be afraid of Victor.
What? She is Victor's sister.
Who cares about her?
Even if the value of this territory is high, it will have to wait until next year to start making profits.
In this year, just from her personal back-and-forth management, she was probably exhausted to the point of dying.
Her life was like a candle in the wind.
However, just when Liya was about to collapse, Victor calmly took out a gold card and placed it on the table.
The bright golden color penetrated the air and attracted Liya's eyes.
She stood up slowly, turned her head and looked at the attractive golden card.
She immediately lay down on the table, picked up the card, and looked at it carefully:
"What's this?"
It bears the exclusive gilding logo of the Cassidella Chamber of Commerce, and below the logo, there is a row of small words - Cassidella.
As a businessman, Liya naturally knows this symbol clearly.
Cassidella Chamber of Commerce is the largest and richest chamber of commerce in the world.
Their business is in almost every corner of the world.
Victor looked at Liya who was immersed in thinking and said calmly:
"There's a billion in it."
"Seize the young master?"
The moment Liya heard this number, her whole body froze in place.
She turned her eyes away from the card with difficulty, fell on Victor, and blurted out:
"Did you go for a robbery?"
Let’s not talk about the other party grabbing a territory, what happened to this gold card! ?
What is the concept of one billion?
Even the total annual income from all industries and businesses in their entire Cravenna territory is not that much.
The potion money they sold in half a year, as well as the sales of the store they cooperated with Duke Levi this month.
The total is only tens of millions.
And this figure does not deduct the salaries of employees and servants, various territory management, building repairs... expenses.
Victor folded his hands, leaned on the desk, looked at Liya calmly, and said:
"This is the compensation the Cassidla Chamber of Commerce will give me. You can put it in the territory for safekeeping."
For Victor, it doesn't matter whether he has the money or not.
As long as the money is in the territory, Victor can withdraw the money at any time through the player's backpack.
And Liya now...
After hearing that one billion geos had been returned to the territory, she looked at Jinka dreamingly, her hands trembling non-stop.
He didn't even ask Victor what compensation the other party paid, but actually gave him one billion.
Because after learning that the source of the one billion was legitimate, she felt completely at ease.
She had never seen so much money in her life.
Liya looked at Victor carefully and asked in disbelief:
"You...you want to keep it for me?"
"Um."
Victor only said this word lightly, and there was no follow-up.
After receiving permission, Liya quickly and carefully put the gold card away and placed it on her chest, where it was the safest place.
After ensuring that it was absolutely safe and would not be lost, she slowly came back to her senses.
He cleared his throat and said softly to Victor:
"Brother, tell me."
"What do you want me to do with the territory over there?"
Victor: "..."
A sister who loves money is easy to handle.
…
"So, that's it..."
Liya nodded, knowing why the territory came about.
She understood the cause of Earl Lauryn's death and also knew the life experience of Precious.
Naturally, I understood why the Victor in front of me had a daughter who was born in the kingdom.
If it were Liya, I'm afraid she would make a similar choice to Victor in the same situation.
If Prixis had not changed her surname to Cravenna, the territory left by her father would have been divided up by those greedy lords.
The surname Cravenna was Pulisis's protection.
If anyone were to attempt to encroach on Shoeburn, one would have to consider the forces behind it.
That is Cravenna.
Victor's indifferent voice slowly sounded:
"The management of Shoulburn can be left to the local people."
"But we still have to send a few of our own people, and they must be the ones you trust the most."
Liya sat opposite Victor, holding her chin in her hand, quickly screening for suitable candidates in her mind.
Victor's words may be cold, but what he says does make sense.
This is the territory of the Cravenna family and should naturally be managed by them.
Otherwise, the kingdom may think that Victor doesn't care much about this territory.
It doesn't matter if Prissy's surname is Cravenna.
After all, the empire and the kingdom are far apart. Although they dare not find trouble openly, harassment will always appear from time to time.
It will also be a common occurrence for Prixis to secretly stumble.
Therefore, sending some reliable retainers to manage the territory is actually telling the kingdom through actions:
This place is covered by the Cravenner family!
Liya closed her eyes and tapped her temples with her fingers.
After some thinking, a group of candidates headed by Leon came to mind.
It's just that Leon has been by her side all these years and has never been alone, which is worrying.
It seems that this matter needs to be discussed in depth with Leon in person.
"Then I'll go back to my home in two days."
"I'll accompany you."
Victor said calmly.
When Liya heard this, she thought that when Victor came back, there seemed to be a huge tiger man following him.
The tiger man looked very fierce, with flesh all over his face.
Those orange eyes burst out with two sharp gazes, full of terrifying oppression.
When Liya first saw the tiger man, she was so frightened that she broke into cold sweat and took two steps back.
She didn't even react for a while.
I thought Victor was next to a real tiger.
Until Victor said that this was another type of demi-human, called an orc.
However, as demi-humans, they have not completely broken away from the characteristics of beasts.
Only then did Liya react.
"Are you going to send that tiger over?"
"I have this idea."
Victor knocked on the table and continued:
"After some time, the Cassidla Chamber of Commerce may come to trade with us."
"Exactly, I need to go back and deal with it."
Liya listened, her face dull, and she nodded in confusion.
What happened to the Cassidella Chamber of Commerce, this internationally influential business giant, after being threatened by Victor?
Give him a gold card worth one billion yuan, but still have to deal with him alone?
Victor looked at Liya who was in a daze and asked casually:
"Is there anything going on at home this month?"
Hearing Victor's question, Liya immediately recovered from her daze:
"Well... everything is as usual, and Hernie's stay at the academy is going well."
Having said this, Liya thought about it carefully again, and her expression became solemn.
"But there is one thing."
She leaned forward, stared at Victor seriously, and said to him deeply:
"You have to take care of Kokot."
