Many days later, the Empire began discussing whether to forcibly acquire the mountain. However, doing so would have a significant impact, even potentially causing unrest in the empire.
Private property is highly protected on this continent, and anyone who breaks the rules will face united hostility from the nobles and wealthy individuals throughout the entire continent, even the three major empires could not withstand that consequence.
Helpless, the empire had no choice but to talk to the original owner in the hope of gaining a clue. A clue that was not considered a clue appeared in front of everyone.
At that time, after learning the situation, the original owner made a comment about the new owner—“I don't know who this person is, but I think he is a super sucker. The mountain is simply worthless... yet this sucker bought it at such a high price, and never once bothered me. This kind of person is either an idiot or a typical squanderer!”
Yeah, if it were a normal person, how could he knowingly purchase something problematic? He definitely wouldn't buy it, and if he did, he would negotiate a significantly lower price.
This person, however, purchased it at a very high price. Could it be that this person knew its value? But even if he did, according to the situation, he should have bought it at a lower price!
Absolutely a squanderer, and not just an ordinary one!!
After receiving this feedback, Seventh Brother, frowning, said with some annoyance, "Yeah, even if he knew the value, he shouldn't have paid such a high price unless... Wait, what did you say? Squanderer? Oh my, could it have been bought by that wastrel Thirteen?"
Thinking of Thirteen's unwarranted spending, Seventh Brother immediately ran home to find the legendary spender.
This was definitely not a coincidence. Seventh Brother was almost certain it was Thirteen—history had repeatedly proven this. Whenever Thirteen squandered, he always struck it big.
Take, for example, a recent event—three years ago, he bought a large area of land and houses from the poor, then built new houses for them to live in. Although he claimed it was for a good cause, many knew that he had been bored for a long time and simply wanted to squander lavishly once, buying land, houses, and erecting new buildings. He spent tens of thousands of gold coins and then said, "This feels great!"
That event did not end there. Two months ago, the Empire announced a new plan to establish a new noble district, and quite coincidentally, it was on the poor land Thirteen had bought three years earlier, causing a frenzy among people who clamored to buy it.
This was just one example, there were many others that were hard to explain. It was clear that Thirteen was favored by Lady Luck.
"Ah, found it. See if this is it." Thirteen found a contract and handed it to Seventh Brother. "I bought this, it's been five or six years, back when Tigress was still around..."
Seventh Brother didn't listen to Thirteen, he just exclaimed excitedly, "Exactly, this is it! Thirteen, I'll help you get the highest price. I'm off."
After saying that, Seventh Brother disappeared like lightning, heading to his workplace, believing that several impatient people were waiting there.
"..." Please, why does this keep happening every time I want to squander? Now I'll make a huge profit... sigh…
Thirteen sighed helplessly, knowing this idea would make people want to hit him. While others racked their brains and used all their efforts for an opportunity, success was never guaranteed, but he repeatedly found it.
Of course, he had successful squandering times too, and the number wasn't small. But overall, he wasn't successful; his wealth kept growing and even he didn't know how much he had.
And this was only about the present. Similar occurrences might happen again in the future, with miraculous comebacks in his wealth.
Don't forget, this event occurred five or six years ago. Many things happened years later, and he never forgot to squander every day, so the result became increasingly unpredictable and interesting.
Perhaps this is what millionaires mean when they say it's destiny!!
"Never mind, doesn't matter. Let's just mix these materials. This is rare material; I need to try it... " Thirteen no longer paid attention to these matters. If it was destined, there was no need to worry, for it was destined. And if it wasn't, it would be what Thirteen wanted, don't forget, he was for the purpose of squandering.
"Younger brother, it's rare to have a day off today, and the weather is so good. Why are you holed up here fiddling with these things? Why not go squander outside?" Thirteen's sister, Ye Lanyu, graced his small workshop, and said to Thirteen who was still fiddling with the materials.
"I don't want to, not in the mood! Failed again today..." Thirteen replied somewhat gloomily.
"What failed? Don't tell me you've made a profit again? How much this time?" After thinking for a moment, Ye Lanyu quickly understood what was going on. She knew all about Thirteen and naturally understood what was bothering him.
"Don't know, we'll know when Seventh Brother comes back." Thirteen casually replied.
Ye Lanyu sat on the side, staring at Thirteen for a while, then asked seriously, "Brother, I have a question to ask. You have to answer me honestly."
"What question?" Thirteen asked, puzzled.
"Are you sure you're not investing and making money? It's too suspicious for someone who's squandering to make more money than someone doing business."
