Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, one the richest of three upper tier Clan, even though it was weakest in terms of combat strength but it had the largest number of allies supporting them and were willing to fight for this Clan.
Ning Fengzhi, father of Ning Rongrong was the Clan Head of this Clan. He was sitting on a chair set in front of a round table, there were 4 more individuals sitting on the other chairs beside him as they were discussing about the important issues of the clan.
They were talking about the most important issue that the Clan was facing recently. One of them said, ”Clan head, the Clear Sky Clan has not replied to our invitation for the alliance while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has accepted our offer to discuss the alliance. Their Clan head has requested a meeting with you to discuss about terms and condition.”
Ning Fengzhi nodded and replied back man in a calm manner, ”Set the meeting after a few days. Invite them to the Clan, it's been so long since I last met with the Clan head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.”
Everyone stayed silent as they heard his words, they knew why he asked them to invite the Clan head a few days later, because Elder Bone had to leave for some matters and would return back to the Clan in a few days.
And also, the reason behind inviting the Clan head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, it was so that he could hold an advantage in the terms and conditions of the alliance.
Another middle-aged man among the four, Ning Shouyin, he spoke with a weird expression, ”I would like to inform the Clan head that something weird is going on.” Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrow in surprise and asked, ”What do you mean?”
Ning Shouyin started speaking, ”As the Clan head knows that I manage the finances of our Clan. In last month or so, many cheques have been withdrawn with our Clan's name. The weird thing is that they are all of small amount and are being used around all over the continent.”
Ning Fengzhi asked him, ”What is the total amount that was withdrawn from the Clan from these cheques?” Ning Shouyin replied, ”The total amount that has been withdrawn has amounted up to nearly 400,000 Gold Coins. If it were only 1000 or 2000 Gold Coins then I wouldn't have disturbed the Clan Head about such an insignificant matter but the amount has reached to up to 400,000 Gold Coins within a matter of month.”
Ning Fengzhi looked confused and asked, ”Whose signature were on those cheques and what do you mean by the fact that they are being withdrawn from all over the continent?” Ning Shouyin immediately replied, ”It had the signature of Young Miss on them and I mean that the amount is withdrawn from different secret branches in the Town and the cities in the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire and other small cities.”
Ning Fengzhi silently thought about this matter, 'What could have happened that forced Rongrong to use so many cheques and why do they have small amount on them. If she needs money then why not get all of it at the same time. It's as she wanted to confuse the Clan so she used different cheques at dozens of cities that are very far away. But why did she do something like this?'
He closed his eyes as he thought deeply about it, when he suddenly remembered meeting a young boy of 6 years of age with the bearings of a mature man. He smiled as he thought about that kid.
That kid was one of the most intelligent persons he ever met, he was quite observant and astute for his young age, even more sharp than many adults. Even he, the Clan Head of one of the three upper tier clans, felt speechless in front his sharp observation and the logical deductions of that young boy.
He smiled as if he finally understood what it meant, he said to the four of them, ”Ignore this financial matter of the withdrawing such small amount of money from the Clan and do not investigate this matter.”
