"Damn!"
"I can't believe it!!"
"I can't believe this!!!"
As Seven Brother was checking, every now and then, he would curse and mutter, because this list really surprised him, it was beyond his expectations!!
"I used to know that that brat Thirteen was very talented, but I never thought he'd be this good, he actually has so many unexpected assets under his name..."
At this time, Third Brother was also bored, looking at Ye Lang's things with Seven Brother, of course, not just the two of them, many other people were also curious and eager to know how much wealth this extravagant prodigal, Ye Lang, possessed.
"Dongming Lake Tower, the most famous tavern in recent years in the Xiangkong Empire, and even on the entire continent, he owns seventy percent of the shares!!"
"West Mountain iron mine, recently discovered as the largest iron mine, he owns it all by himself..."
"Anna Mercenary Group, he also has a stake, erm, I heard about this before, but still surprising."
"Seven, these are nothing, if you look at this, you'll be even more amazed!"
"What?! I can't believe it, this brat actually owns another city!!! And it's a newly risen emerging city!!"
In Seven Brother's hand was a contract that Ye Lang somehow obtained years ago, on it was a city lord transferring the city to Ye Lang, with an absolutely unforgeable signature.
In other words, the first city Ye Lang obtained was not this Ye City, but another one.
Although Ye Lang's assets were diverse, most of them had a common feature, that is, these properties were originally losing money, things that others couldn't get rid of quick enough, but Ye Lang thought he could squander, and then took them over.
As a result, although many of them were still losing money, he achieved his aim—squandering, but there were many industries that eventually turned a profit!
So when they were counting, they kept saying something like "recently this and that..."
"Seven, this time you've really made it, you can play however you want, but poor me, I've become a commander with no one under my command," Third Brother sighed, Seven Brother found his interest, but he didn't.
He was a military genius, but the city wasn't heading in that direction, which left him with nothing to do, and moreover, he didn't have any troops under his command now.
"Don't worry, although we've established a free city, we still need to be on guard, there will be a military force for you to lead, I believe it will arrive soon, and then it'll be up to you!!" Ye Yi had not left at this time, not because he wanted to hear something, but because he was waiting for someone to finish cleaning the house.
"That's good, it's just that there's no big war here, sigh..." Third Brother was excited for a while, but immediately became dejected, even if he took over everything around here, it wouldn't interest him, there was no small-scale wars like in the Xiangkong Empire around here, not to mention that their policy didn't involve attacking or invading.
"Third Brother, why are you so dim-witted, if there's nothing here, you can go elsewhere, keep a defense here and you can join the war in the form of mercenaries with your people, it's a way to train and earn money!!" Seven Brother said, directing Third Brother, and of course, his other goal was quite obvious—
This is a path to riches!!
"Although your motivations are despicable, it's still a good method!" Third Brother sneered at Seven Brother, and added, "You provide the military expenses, and what we earn will go straight to military expenditures!"
"..."
And so, a strange mercenary group appeared on the continent, they only took part in war missions, never in any other tasks, and what's even more amazing, the casualty rate for this mercenary group was almost zero.
Everyone knew that this mercenary group had an extraordinary leader, as if he could see through everything on the battlefield, predict dangers, and avoid any harm to them.
Of course, not only the leader was extraordinary, even the mercenaries were, almost all of them were exceptional, unlike regular mercenaries, they seemed to have an understanding amongst themselves, just like a real army, their coordination was very high.
This mercenary group, needless to say, was formed by Third Brother, high efficiency and high pay were their characteristics.
And those mercenaries seemed to be the secret forces of the Ye family that arrived later!
...
In the early morning, everything seemed the same as yesterday, only the things and people were different!
This time, Ye Lang won this city, although it was difficult for the original inhabitants of the city to accept, there was a testament from the late King Gaofei as evidence, so they had no reason to resist.
However, if they did resist, if they did not acknowledge the late King Gaofei's testament, what would happen then?
Whatever the scenario, the result would surely be the same, Ye Chengtian and others would take control of the city's political power, they never considered whether the people of Ye City would oppose or not acknowledge them, because they were not afraid that they wouldn't be able to claim this city for themselves!!
And Ye Chengtian and others also sent a message to the outside world, that their city would withdraw from the Thirteen Allied Nations, because they didn't want to belong to any power, they wanted to remain neutral.
For this reason, they had some friction with the Twelve Allied Nations, but under the strong maneuvering of the Ye family, the Twelve Allied Nations eventually gave up on the idea of having Ye City return, and even wanted to cooperate with them in the end.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner...
...
In the dream...
"Are you willing to come see me? I thought you didn't want to see me!!" When the girl in the dream saw Yelang appear, she showed a surprised look on her face, but then quickly frowned and said, not very pleased.
"If I didn't want to see you, I wouldn't have come!" Yelang replied, seemingly indifferent, not noticing the other's anger.
"Hmph, if you really didn't want to see me, then it's been forty-one days since you last appeared. Do you know how long I've been waiting here alone!!" The girl in the dream said angrily.
"Forty-one days, didn't you just say that!" Yelang said, looking a bit puzzled.
"......"
The girl in the dream was at a loss for words, and after a long time, she said, "Tell me, why have you been absent for forty-one days?"
"I can't say, if I do, we will immediately wake up." Yelang shook his head and said.
"Oh, is it related to your identity?" The girl in the dream understood.
Both of them knew that whenever something related to their identities happened, they would wake up immediately, causing both of them to wake up!!
