"Who said I will let my family fall?"
When the five leaders saw that Cedric seed to have accepted their words and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another voice echoed from the door, followed by the appearance of Lucien.
He looked tall, carrying an impressive aura of superiority despite his youth, as his eyes quickly scanned each leader briefly before landing on his father.
"Dad, is everything ready?"
Unlike his usual casual way of talking around his family, this ti he looked quite cool, especially with that magical robe draped over his body, lined with gold shimring faintly with mana continuously.
One look and everyone knew that the robe he was wearing was absolutely a treasure, a treasure of at least Peak Rare Rank.
"Hm? Yeah, everything is ready as you want. You just need to sign these docunts to take ownership. Father has already signed everything."
Cedric imdiately took out a wad of docunts from his mana ring, placing them loudly on the desk before him.
However, he was also quite surprised by Lucien’s different deanor, though.
’Where did he get that robe? Damn, Father is really partial. He never gave such treasures.’
Well, it seems his attention was sowhere else.
"Good, then let’s sign it right away."
Lucien nodded with a faint, professional smile, slowly walked, and sat on the main chair that his father had left for him conveniently.
During the entire process, he didn’t look at those five n looking and judging him with their eyes.
Instead, he took the quill pen, read the paper, and began to sign with a serious look.
’Hope this will complete the transfer of properties.’
Lucien thought keenly, paying attention to his system. He knew that his system needed him to own the assets in his personal na for it to work.
That’s why he asked his father to prepare transfer papers and let Grandfather sign.
As Lucien continued to read the docunt and signed, the silence in the chamber continued to prevail.
Maybe because of the unexplainable aura from Lucien that made him look strong yet charming, or maybe his deanor that didn’t match their expectation of a young man, all five pillars of Goldveil Exchange were quite surprised by Lucien’s conduct.
’Maybe I was worrying for nothing. It seems the rumour was false. The Goldveil family clearly trained their child properly.’
This was the thought in each of the n’s minds as they continued to wait for Lucien to finish his business.
Soone didn’t lie.
First impression was indeed very important.
Whether it was to impress a girl on a date or on your first day at work, a first impression matters a lot.
No matter how philosophical you get and deny those thoughts, in the end, humans are emotional animals after all.
They liked to judge people, always. It was in their genes. Even if it were this magical world.
’When did he beco so mature?’
Although the five middle-aged n were impressed by their new boss’s aura, Cedric was instead dumbfounded.
He couldn’t help but doubt if the person before him was his own son.
After all, that strong aura, those cold and calculating eyes, filled with a vicissitude that seed worn by countless years of hardship, Cedric had never seen them before.
Even he felt a little unsettled by his deanor and gave up his seat without realizing it.
’This brat has so many tricks.’
"Is this all?"
Lucien quickly signed all the docunts on the table and looked at his father, asking once again.
"Yeah, this is all. Now that you have signed the docunts, you are the owner of this Goldveil Exchange of Edoria Kingdom. Now, if you want to do anything, just ask these five elders here."
Cedric nodded, took the docunts from Lucien’s hand, and secured them safely in his mana ring.
Then, he pulled out a chair and sat down, watching closely to see what Lucien would do next. He was curious to find out what plan this brat had.
But, in his confusion, he saw Lucien nodding to him and closing his eyes, leaning slightly on his chair as if thinking.
’What is he doing?’
Although nobody knew what Lucien was planning, for so reason, no one inside the room dared to speak and let the silence prevail.
Ding!
[Congratulations! Your wealth has increased imnsely.]
[Calculating the amount of wealth you own. Please wait...]
[....]
’Finally!’
Lucien couldn’t help but smile slightly unconsciously, causing those elders looking at him to feel weird.
But he didn’t care as he waited... waiting for the system to calculate his new wealth.
Although the system didn’t say anything like getting new features this ti, his goal wasn’t there.
After all, this ti the wealth he got wasn’t precious yet sedentary like the Dinsional Treasure Vault.
Although he knew, compared to true treasure like the dragon corpse he saw in the dinsional vault, even the three kingdoms’ worth of Goldveil’s heritage was nothing, there was sothing different about this wealth this ti.
Sothing that was very suitable for him—or rather, his system...
Lucien’s heart stirred with such restlessness that he couldn’t help but yearn for the prompt.
Fortunately, at last, it ca again, like a whisper of nectar from the heavens.
[Your current wealth has been calculated successfully.]
[The amount and quantity of wealth are too large, please wait.]
’Wait... Categorize them reasonably and arrange them in descending order. No need to show everything.’
Lucien quickly ordered the system, knowing that revealing everything his family owned in Edoria would be impossible to read.
Instead, it was better to get a rough estimate of the wealth than to know every nook and cranny.
[...]
[Categorization has been completed.]
Sure enough, this ti the response was fast, as imdiately after the prompt, Lucien once again saw his personal wealth.

’Good guy...’
Lucien took a sharp breath as the vast list of wealth flashed through his mind. The sheer volu of gold, mana stones, and crystals nearly made him gasp.
Not to ntion the other assets he could expand to view, but he didn’t bother wasting ti.
After all, what he really wanted to hear was yet to co.
Ding!
[Detected a large amount of wealth from the host is being plundered.]
[Several parties have no intention of repaying.]
[Debt collection failed.]
[Analyzing transactions...]
[Please wait...]
’Finally!’
The mont the prompt sounded, Lucien’s eyes snapped open, his heart pounding wildly.
Though he tried to suppress his smile, it broke through, drawing strange looks from everyone in the hall.
"Lucien, are you...alright?"
Cedric couldn’t help but ask, puzzled by his sudden change.
However, to his astonishnt, Lucien finally couldn’t hold it in and laughed heartily, his face glowing with excitent.
"Never been better. Hahaha... It’s ti to make so moves. Let’s talk about plans, shall we?"
His voice trembled with hunger, like a pirate on the verge of finding the greatest treasure the seas have ever seen.
