956 Super Effective (1/2)
”Yes, I am free to spend the money as I like but the high power of my family will send someone to question where the money is spent.” Focker said, ”If I can't come up with a reasonable explanation, I will be severely punished by my family! Most importantly, my family will look into the matter and will find out very quickly that it was you!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, ”Things happened too quickly, I didn't manage to come up with a solution. Do you have any ideas?”
”I do have one, but…” Focker wavered.
”It's alright. Just say what you have in mind.”
”It's like this. My family have very strict assessment of every single investment we make.” Focker explained, ”That means that they will evaluate whether of not the investment I make is profitable. If it is, then they will not question any further!”
”From your tone of voice, I gather that acquiring both Lan and Yap organizations is not profitable?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
”Right. It's not!” Focker shook his head. ”The eldest son of my family is in charge of handling businesses in China. I have never intervened. I spent such a large amount of money without so much as asking them. They will be very suspicious!”
”Mm… go ahead and tell me your idea.” Said Chen Xiaobei.
”My family members are not dumb. They are not easily fooled. The only way to go about this is for you to give me a Spiritual Item!” Focker proceeded to elucidate, ”To my family, it is very profitable to invest in a Spiritual Item! No matter the cost, my family will not question me but congratulate me for being able to acquire a Spiritual Item!”
”Oh, is that so?”
Chen Xiaobei raised his brows.
The Fockers were really such an unusual family. Chen Xiaobei was surprised that they had such a hidden rule. However, it was not that surprising. To them, money was merely a string of numbers, a pile of waste paper. If need be, they could even print their own money!
But Spiritual Item was different. They were limited and their availability even rarer!
To the Rothschild, exchanging money for a Spiritual Item was advantageous because the return would be lucrative!
”If it's too troublesome, I will think of another way…”
Focker quickly responded. He understood the value of the Spiritual Item.
”No, it's not.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, ”I will give you a Spiritual Item first thing in the morning tomorrow. If that's not good enough, I can even give you two!”
”Are… you serious…”
Focker could not believe what he had just heard.
Spiritual Items were so rare.
How was it that Chen Xiaobei talked about it as if it were a common commodity like Chinese cabbage? Giving them away as he liked.
”Of course, I'm serious. It's not mine anyway. So it doesn't make a difference to me.”
Chen Xiaobei grinned.
Focker wore a look of complete confusion. How could he give them away if they were not his?
Chen Xiaobei did not stay to explain. Once he saw that there was no one around, he stepped onto the Somersault Cloud and rushed to Dragon city.
......
Bei Xuan Faction.
Chen Xiaobei removed the lid of Green Jade Cauldron and the ten Heavenly Dog Biscuit were all done. The only changes he had made to the biscuits were their shapes. Xiao Tianquan's biscuits had been shaped into a bone whereas the ten biscuits he had just made were shaped into a pill!
Chen Xiaobei collected the ten biscuits and headed to the woodshed.
In the woodshed.
