Anoteros Grins
“Oh, the farmers who breed the cows that caught Lady Fanqia's attention have agreed to the offer. They are saying that we will be able to get them whenever we want”
“That’s great news! Honestly, it’s incredible how much we had to negotiate to get them not to offer the cows for free…”
Inside a certain office of the residence, Yifei and Shu were busy opening and reading letters. This had become a daily habit since their master had begun making contact with various places and people for the future opening of his own business.
Of course, this included the business that Fanqia would be the main player in. Namely, the raising of cattle and various other animals.
For now, the matriarch wasn’t aiming too high, simply preparing to start establishing the sale of meat and milk from mundane cows to the non-cultivators, who made up the vast majority of the country.
It was actually quite difficult not to get everything for free when dealing with entities and businesses that were insignificant compared to the Elt clan. While this might sound good on paper, in truth, the flow of money was what was most important to the economy. Therefore, the success of a business–In the eyes of the crown–Wasn’t just the sheer amount of money it made, but just how many coins it caused to flow throughout the country, or the other benefits it brought to the kingdom…
As such, using Edrick’s status to get everything without cost would actually be counterproductive to their master’s goal. This was why Shu, in particular, had to do the unthinkable and haggle with people to pay them the correct amount on multiple occasions.
Her merchant’s heart bled a little... But it was for a good cause. This was without mentioning that the profit would certainly completely dwarf the expenses anyway… Besides, Anoteros was already rich beyond belief.
He already had an obscene amount of money stashed during his years of exile, but now, he had also managed to establish very good relations with his parents and several other high-ranking family members, which gave him access to even more funds in certain cases.
And of course, that was without mentioning the stash of coins he had amassed through the system that he could pull out at any moment.
Due to Shu’s involvement in such matters, it was only natural that she would be the first one to see the contents of incoming letters. As for Yifei, considering her role as Edrick’s personal attorney and general accountant, it was to be expected that she also needed to be up to date with the letters as well.
“Huh… By the gods” the former prosecutor–A title she held since she had yet to retake the exams–Suddenly stood up, making the chair grind against the ground as she rushed out of the room, leaving a very confused Shu behind.
“Yifei? Is everything alright? Is something important going on?” she asked, but got no answer as Yifei had run out of here.
The blonde did her best to stay silent and proper, but the situation called for haste. She knew that Anoteros would want to be informed of such a matter immediately, regardless of the situation. So without hesitation, she made her way to the patriarch’s bedchambers, sliding the door open.
“Master, there is news that you need to be made aware of immediately!” she exclaimed whilst holding the letter close to her chest.
The scene inside was somewhat expected, but it still embarrassed Yifei to be interrupting her master’s fun like this…
The bedchambers were seeing a rather common set-up... Namely, the residence’s overlord was spending some quality time with all of his wives at once. Everyone was stark naked. Edrick was lying upon his back on the wide bed, flanking him were Fanqia on the right and Yin on the left.
The first and fifth wives certainly contrasted one another greatly. The matriarch was of average height and painted the picture of what a perfectly chubby physique looked like. It was unlikely that any other woman could actually pull off such a body like she could.
The body fat was simply perfectly positioned and dispersed.
Meanwhile, the newcomer of the wife troop was the opposite... Tall and athletic beyond belief, as well as armed with incredibly resilient muscles that gave the impression of no body fat whatsoever.
Similarly, it was hard to expect just anyone to be able to achieve such a physique, and even less likely for them to bear it with such beauty.
Despite the rather large differences, both women were in the same situation under the attention of their husband–Both snuggling up against his virile, masculine body, whilst moaning as their pink caverns were stimulated by his dexterous fingers.
As for the other three wives, they were cooperating to tackle the great dragon that was the patriarch’s lower brain, giving it their all to pleasure their husband and bring a delicious climax out of him.
This was but the mere prelude to what would certainly turn into even raunchier displays soon…
Unfortunately, Yifei had to interrupt it all.
“What’s the matter?” asked Anoteros casually, seemingly completely unbothered by his maid’s intrusion.
“It is sensitive information pertaining to the crimson-eyed target, Master” Yifei quickly walked up to hand the letter directly to her master.
The scion quickly read through the letter’s content, and indeed, he very much agreed that this was sensitive information.
‘The Chen clan’s ancestral cultivation technique, huh? I can’t let him get his hands on that… His growth would be far too complicated to predict, and I would rather not have to get the so-called ‘old monsters’ involved...’
Anoteros would certainly prefer to bring down his prey when it was at its strongest, but he had to be realistic and not gamble on something so important. Xiao had already displayed abnormal strength and battle acuity. With the proper technique, it was likely that his strength would at least double. But even then, Edrick felt that it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the increase could be far more significant than that.
In short, Xiao would not be allowed to get his hands on the technique. His story had to end before he could get to this point.
‘She worked very well…’
“Send a letter to the Sect Of The Old Decay. Tell them that I want to get in touch with their greatest disciples and that I have a job for them, alright? Also, promise our dear informant hefty rewards for keeping close tabs on Xiao”
‘It would seem that the insignificant, lesser antagonist… Zixuan Elt is going to be the one to bring down the great protagonist…’
