Is this even real? My eyes trembled as I opened the account ledger and a chaotic swarm of numbers spewed out. I deciphered what I could and ignored the rest.
Anyway, to sum it up We only have just enough money to scrape by right now Bok Man-Chun started, watching my expression carefully.
BAM!
I slamd my hand onto the table in disbelief. How the hell is this possible? I inherited a fortune, not a mountain of debt! Where did all that money go?

Originally, Old Man Heos inheritance didnt belong to , but Cheong Cheon transferred the will and its rights to , making it my personal fortune. Yet, here Bok Man-Chun was claiming that my precious wealth had vanished into thin air.
Could this middleman have embezzled the money I squinted at Bok Man-Chun.
Bok Man-Chun, his senses sharpened by years of freelancing, twitched in protest, I swear I didnt do what you think I did! Werent you the one who told to invest in various businesses, Young Master!
I did say that, but this still doesnt add up.
Young Master, think about it, Bok Man-Chun pleaded, exasperation creeping into his voice. You gave up on the loan shark business, Old Man Heos primary source of inco. Not only that, you ditched the brothels, and all the other shady businesses too. Wheres the money supposed to co from now?

Were only left with legit businesses like inns, restaurants, bars, and smithies. Im planning to register us as a trading company and an escort agency to cut our taxes, but these were never our main moneymakers. Well have to expand them all. Can we agree on that?
Well, yeah. I nodded, folding my arms. It made sense.
Bok Man-Chun brandished so papers, waving them before . Now look at this. You recently bought a store in a pri location called the Hidden Dragon Restaurant, splurged on a mansion in front of the Azure Dragon Academy, and poured a fortune into its renovation. Plus, that old geezer you recomnded may be a master craftsman, but he only fancies the priciest equipnt!
Recalling Wiji Yeols insistence on top-notch equipnt for top-notch craftsn, I sighed inwardly, He did ntion sothing along those lines.
See? Spare cash in this scenario? You mightve started with a fortune, but at the sa ti, you also need to invest heaps to ensure our long-term financial security.
Still
Fear not, though. Im not the kind of man who would let the businesses go into debt without letting you know beforehand, Bok Man-Chun shalessly reassured .
If youre seeing this, you are at the wrong place.
I sighed and stared at him, asking, But emptying the coffers, isnt that a tad excessive?
I swear to my wife and kids, I have not made a single bad investnt, Bok Man-Chun declared solemnly. Your inheritance is a hefty responsibility, but Im confident Ive made the right financial decisions. Once your businesses are firmly established, we can hire people to manage them for us, and the steady profits will guarantee that well be able to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. Of course, I wont work in that direction if youre not willing, Young Master.
I locked eyes with Bok Man-Chun. The man possessed the temperant and foresight of a true rchant. He invested generously in the present, not for small short-term profits, but for grand long-term gains.
Hes an honest man, and after our trip to the Freelancers Bazaar, I know that I can trust him with my money.I do feel a bit guilty about hiding my identity and fooling him, but I cant confess when hes burning with ambition like that.
After a brief silence, I collected my thoughts and asked, How long till the business turns a profit?
Bok Man-Chun bead. Well break even in a year, and then its smooth sailing all the way!
Y arent you reading this at ?
One year. A pain in the neck right now, but a small price to pay for substantial future gains. I nodded and said, Alright, go for it. I entrust everything to you, Administrator Bok.
Thank you. You wont regret it!
As for the trading company and the escort agency
Yes?
Lets na them while were at it.
What nas do you have in mind?
How about the White Dragon Conglorate and the White Dragon Escort Agency? I said, grinning. Establishing the White Dragon Academy was out of the question now, but Id grown fond of the na.
The White Dragon Conglorate I like it. Sounds like itll beco the biggest and richest in the Central Plains one day, Bok Man-Chun chuckled.
