513 Chapter 513

With Willa's presence, Eric didn't need to bother anymore with boats to travel, as she was the best means of transportation one could think about.

Not only didn't she burn gas and money, but she was self-reliant and took care of most of her needs by herself.

Furthermore, no matter what happened, no water or anything else entered the Nightless City pocket dimension as there seemed to be some kind of barrier blocking the entrance to tiny organisms and elements.

The only way to bring ocean water inside the Nightless Stone City was by using big containers or transporting containers through space rings.

During the time it took Willa to reach the destination that Eric had set, he had transported quite a bit of ocean water for the daily needs of the people inside, as they were still 'frightened' of Willa.

The greatest news he had received from his Legacy System, and also the reason that he went broke again, was that he spent almost all of the reward SP points on upgrading Nightless Stone City.

15.000.000 SP points had disappeared right in front of his eyes almost immediately, as selected the upgrade button for Nightless Stone City, opening a big beast husbandry plant, alongside a large cultivable land.

Spending specifically 6 and 9 million on each of them. But at least he felt that it was worth it, as from now on not only would he be able to rear beasts and animals, but he would also plant herbs.

Of course, he didn't have the patience to wait for these herbs to grow, as right now he was more concerned with what was available in the markets, but he couldn't lay down his hopes on that all the time.

Buying could only happen up to one point, after that he would be forced to have his own source of herbs and materials.

For that reason even though he had gone from a Nouveau Riche to a broke block once again, he didn't regret his decision in the slightest.

Furthermore, he still had around 2 million SP points left, which disappeared immediately in the next 10 minutes, as he bought a beast's pouch, that could contain at most 5 beasts, a defensive skill, and a stealth skill.

When he finally finished shopping and took a look at his current 'wealth' he found no more than 1000 SP points, or 994 to be more exact.

Cursing, screaming, and insulting were surely not going to fix his situation. At that moment he even understood why people would treat a nouveau riche like that.

After all, he had no idea of the value of what he got, and what he spent to get it. This was certainly a terrible situation.

Still, he didn't really care. His investment would pay manifolds in the future, as right now he could only get down on Lotus's position and start comprehending his skills.

…

It took Willa about 3 to 4 days to reach the coastal waters of China, and for Eric to finally reach his destination.

Upon knowing and understanding the situation, the beauties wanted to follow him and play a little bit, but he categorically refused each and every one of them.

The reason was extremely simple, the current situation was too risky for him, and he planned to go and collect some interests from the Li family.

…

During this time Cui Xie had managed to not only put the factory to work, but also reach an understanding with the Cui family and gain their protection and acceptance.

The lack of Cui La by his side made quite a few people from the family angry, but none of them dared to express their feelings and anger in public.

After all, it was the Cui family Patriarch and the council of elders that decided on his acceptance and return.

Furthermore, Cui Xie didn't allow them to raise those thoughts with just a few words of his, and that included the treatment he and his sister had received from the family.

Colonel Cao was retrieved, as the Cui family promised to the higher-ups to take care of Cui Xie's safety, and well-being.

In a short time, Cui Xie started living the life of a second-generation who had a lot of time, and money in his pockets.

This attitude of his certainly made the Cui family people extremely elated and relieved, as it looked like they could finally take advantage of him.

The 60% of his own shares that he had handed from the 'factory' were nowhere near enough for some of the potbelly elders of the Cui family, so their greed couldn't be controlled anymore.

There were two types of efforts that were noted during this time, one was trying to use their daughters, maids, or even wives to attract his favor.

While the other way was through threatening and frightening him about suffering a similar fate to what he had.

Cui Xie pretended to not hear either side, closing an ear and an eye while he was fully concentrated on beauties, money, and getting stronger.

Who didn't know now that Young Master Cui Xie was becoming a little magnate? That coupled with the standing of a Cui Family descendant, he was sought not only by the Cui family ladies but also by many other big families.

In fact, even the Li family had tried to send him the great Madam and ex-wife of Gao Jixie, and her little sister Li Yao in order to get his favor.

Cui Xie didn't accept or refuse the honor as he just said that it wasn't the time for something like that, yet.

,m His words clearly surprised and made quite a few people curious, but unfortunately, no one had any idea what he meant and what he was going to do.

Today, was the same as usual, Cui Xie had been called into one of the family meetings, where the elders would discuss important matters.

Just like every time recently, a lot of family people stood up and started complaining about the fact that Cui Xie didn't believe his family enough, and that he should give up on all his shares.

The loudest voice in this direction was the 17th elder, which was a long way relative of his in the Cui family, but also the number one ass-licker of his First Uncle, the potbelly Cui Elder.

Cui Xie just heard that guy ramble for more than 10 minutes straight, as he was even falling asleep while hearing him without any intention to take him seriously.

"Cui Xie you should pay attention to your elder's words, otherwise!"

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he actually heard the voice of his First Uncle ring through the room and awaken him.

It was clear that the potbelly dude was extremely angry and enraged at him, but he didn't really care about his thoughts.

'Tch, he can't read the mood and let me sleep!'

Whispering this in a clear enough voice for his words to reach the person they were aimed at, Cui Xie stood from his seat, looked around, and finally turning towards that 17th Elder he said,

"17th Elder's words are truly something that makes this Young Master feel ashamed about his inferiority and selfish behavior.

Unfortunately, my harsh life has taught me that is extremely necessary to be selfish. Furthermore, this Young Master has only recently turned to the Cui family and is still a bit estranged from everyone and everything.

This doesn't change the fact that I am still extremely ashamed of myself, but life has taught me an important lesson.

Only words set on paper count!

For that reason, this Young Master is ready to hand over another 10% of his shares, as long as the 17th Elder writes a contract of handing everything he possesses to the Cui Family for safe keep.

That includes his business in the Americas, Europe, and Africa!

Furthermore, since I don't doubt the 17th Elder's resolution, then I have already prepared my documents, what do you say 17th Elder!?"

At first, the 17th Elder felt a bit smug about himself as he heard Cui Xie speak, but later the more he heard, the more startled, stupefied, and angry he became.

When Cui Xie finally said his last line, he couldn't help but looked with anger and rage, as he screamed in a loud and threatening voice,

"Cui Xie don't push it too far!"

On the other hand, the 'poor' Cui Xie seemed to have been frightened by those words, as he couldn't help but ask with an innocent expression,

"I don't understand what you mean 17th Elder, aren't I just abiding by your words? I think that when someone wants to see sincerity, then it's only acceptable to show sincerity first, don't you think?"

"We aren't talking about me here, we are talking about you, and your selfish attitude!"

"I know, I understand you 17th Elder, but this Young Master could only understand kind-heartedness only by witnessing it on his elders.

After all, just like many of you know it already I am raised like an orphan, without anyone I could rely on and be taught a lesson from!"

While Cui Xie's words seemed just like a simple reminder, the truth was that they carried a lot of truths and meanings.

Including the fact that the Cui Family had thrown him into a small corner without caring for him in the least. Whatever he had reached was his, and yet he had been generous enough to give them 60% of the shares.

As for the 17th Elder, that bastard was a hypocritic two-faced worm that Cui Xie didn't like in the least…
