Chapter 1075: Chapter 1074: Fatty is Really Considerate

"City Lord Brigham Shepherd has an ancient fossil named Taotie Stone," Fatty said. "If you can find a way to get that fossil from him and give it to me, all the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones from every Shepherd Family’s store, the Shepherd Mansion, all the farmland, deeds, and all the servants that come with it will belong to you. And I will immediately write you a letter of divorce."

"Are you joking?" Yusuf Zuck was startled by Fatty’s words. What capabilities did he have to bring over the City Lord’s treasure?

"That fossil is of no use to Brigham Shepherd; he merely keeps it as part of his collection. It’s unlikely that I can acquire it, but it shouldn’t be difficult for you. He’s hosting a banquet for you, which is quite a high honor. You must have given him a treasure that truly moved him, so think about it."

Fatty was incredibly intelligent and knew the City Lord very well, so she guessed that Yusuf Zuck had bribed the City Lord with an immensely satisfying treasure, which was why the City Lord was hosting the banquet and making introductions.

However, she also knew that Brigham Shepherd was insatiably greedy; her husband would continue to be blackmailed.

"I’ll think about it." Yusuf Zuck fell silent. He didn’t care about the Taotie Stone. He didn’t mind if the City Lord continued to blackmail him, but he cared a great deal about the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones.

If... if it was indeed possible to continue obtaining Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, then helping Fatty might not be out of the question!

"Taotie?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly muttered the name, recalling that Taotie is a gluttonous Divine Beast, known for its voracity. The phrase "Taotie Feast" also originated from this.

"Could Fatty be like that Divine Beast too, an endless pit? Does she have some connection with that beast? Is she trying to cultivate her powers and become stronger?" Yusuf Zuck was greatly taken aback.

"How about it? Will you help me?" Fatty continued to look at him.

"I’ll say when the time comes." Yusuf Zuck considered and replied, "If by then no one has Superior Immortal Spirit Stones and no one is buying your Shepherd Family’s business, then I can’t really help you!"

"Fine, we’ll talk then. Come in!" Fatty suddenly shouted out of the door.

"Swish—" Several maidens walked in.

"Take the master to bathe and change clothes, groom and dress up, as the master is the main character tonight. We can’t miscarry our master’s prestige."

"Yes." The two maidens timidly responded and then took Yusuf Zuck away.

Soon, night fell, and Yusuf Zuck changed into brocade robes tailored for him by the Shepherd Mansion, styled his long hair, put on jade boots, and with Fatty at his side, boarded the Shepherd Mansion’s carriage and headed for the City Lord’s Mansion.

Meanwhile, outside the City Lord’s Mansion tonight, the streets were bustling. The city’s nobles and wealthy families, and even leaders of various factions, had begun to arrive one after another.

Since the City Lord was hosting a banquet, they all had reasons to come.

When Yusuf Zuck arrived, the City Lord’s Mansion gave him a grand reception—it was actually the City Lord’s son, along with the butler, who had been waiting outside!

"Lance Cooke greets Uncle Martin," the young lord said upon seeing Yusuf Zuck coming with Fatty. He immediately bowed in greeting, while the butler of the City Lord’s Mansion introduced him, "Lord Martin, this is the City Lord’s second son."

"Greetings, second son." Yusuf Zuck also very politely bowed.

"My father is waiting in the back house, Uncle Martin. Please, follow me!" The second son of the City Lord ignored Fatty the entire time and directly overlooked her presence.

Fatty didn’t make a single sound, seemingly leaving everything to Yusuf Zuck for the day.

The group followed Lance Cooke into the mansion, passing through the corridors to the back garden where clusters of guests were chatting with each other. This place felt like those birthday parties hosted by the wealthy in the mundane world; after arriving here, the gathering was not confined to the dining tables but spread throughout the garden.

"Uncle Martin, I’ll go inform my father," Lance Cooke said, perplexed and wondering why his father was treating this son-in-law from the Shepherd family with such respect. He dared not ask for a reason.

Many guests were stealthily looking at Yusuf Zuck and Fatty. Fatty, whose father had just died that day, was dressed in red robes, looking particularly... festive!

The crowd was also amazed at how a new son-in-law from the Cooke Family could deserve such high regard from the City Lord.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." Just then, as Yusuf Zuck was sipping his drink, Fatty suddenly shouted, startling him significantly.

"Uh..." Upon hearing Fatty speak, all the nobles were taken aback. What was Naomi Shepherd doing here? Was she trying to spoil the event?

Meanwhile, several dark figures in the corner, including the administrator of the City Lord’s Mansion, had also locked their sights on Fatty. Should Fatty dare speak any words of disrespect, they were ready to act decisively.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is rare for me to see you all, and surely you are aware of the recent misfortunes that have befallen the Shepherd Family. Naomi is gravely ill and unable to manage our clan’s business, and my new husband, Martin Huppe, wishes not to take over..."

Yusuf Zuck’s mind went dark—Martin Huppe’s name was truly unpleasant to hear.

"Therefore, on this day, seizing this fine opportunity and under the auspices of the City Lord, I am selling off all the Shepherd’s businesses."

"What?"

"What?"

Upon hearing Naomi’s words, everyone gasped. Gareth Cooke was the wealthiest, and now they wanted to buy a business? This was outrageous!

"Is Miss Naomi serious in her words?"

"Indeed, Miss Naomi, one must not joke about such matters!"

Two dignified nobles approached and spoke.

"Of course, I am not joking." Fatty smiled and said, "If you are interested, then we can talk right now!"

"As for how many businesses the Cooke Family owns, I won’t discuss that here. Let me just give the selling price." Fatty thought for a moment and said, "If you buy them all, ten Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, only the Superior kind!"

"Hisss—"

"What joke is this!"

"Who could possibly have ten Superior Immortal Spirit Stones?"

"Even if I had ten Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, I wouldn’t buy your family’s businesses!"

Everyone shook their heads; it was not that the price was too high, but there simply were no Superior Immortal Spirit Stones.

"Hehe." Fatty laughed and said, "The City Lord surely has ten Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, right?"

"Uh..." Everyone was speechless.

"Alright, no more jokes." Fatty shook her head and said, "The Cooke family has seventy-two textile shops in total, and including the properties and stock, the base price is one Superior Immortal Spirit Stone, and no less!"

"It’s a deal, I’ll take it!" Another wealthy textile merchant from the city suddenly stepped forward, and he indeed produced a Superior Immortal Spirit Stone!

Never mind the customer base, inventory, and other factors—for the seventy-two properties alone, each was worth a Superior Immortal Spirit Stone, so since he happened to have one, and had no other use for it, expanding his family’s assets was preferable.

"Here is the contract, please have a look!" Fatty had already prepared a contract and handed it over straightaway.

The textile merchant scanned the contract and signed it without another word.

"The Superior Immortal Spirit Stone can be given directly to my husband!" Fatty didn’t even take it herself but directly instructed the merchant to hand it to Yusuf Zuck!

And at that moment, Yusuf Zuck was bewildered—another one?

He swallowed, adding up to six now, and judging by the evening’s events, there seemed to be a few more on the horizon.

He had made a fortune, a real fortune!

Yusuf Zuck’s hands trembled with excitement.

With enough Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, he could pierce a hole through the heavens, no longer fearing anything!

Stella Shepherd, Naomi Shepherd, Gareth Cooke, you really did it!
