Chapter 562: Chapter 382: Incident at the East Window_1
Owen Bertram left, and Leroy Baker didn’t stay in the room for long either. He walked into the backyard of the Spring Tide Building, an unremarkable two-story wooden house. From here, he passed through a tunnel and appeared in a courtyard separated by two streets.
The courtyard was quiet and cozy, not extravagant or luxurious, with everything designed for comfortable living.
"Dad," Leroy Baker entered the room and casually grabbed the purple clay teapot from his father’s side and took a sip of tea. His father looked chubby, but his eyes didn’t show the cunning of a businessman; instead, they revealed a depth of great wisdom.
Looking at his son, he already knew: "Really?"
Leroy Baker nodded: "Really!"
"It’s earlier than expected."
"Sooner or later."
"Alright, let your uncle go talk to the Emperor."
Leroy Baker put down the teapot and looked serious: "Dad, I want to make a big investment!"
Father smiled with interest: "Oh? Who did you spot?"
"Sir Owen Bertram!" Leroy Baker’s eyes couldn’t suppress the excitement: "I just tried to test him by saying something disrespectful, but he didn’t rebuke me. He’s not loyal to the Emperor!"
"It’s not surprising," said the father indifferently. "He came from a place like Extinct Village, crawled his way up with Abner Lane’s help. This is his first time in the Capital, so how can he be completely loyal to the Emperor?"
Leroy Baker continued: "So if there’s a day when he has to stand up against the Emperor and protect our Moses Sect, he won’t back down due to foolish loyalty."
Father laughed: "Are you so sure he can make it to the Seventh Level? Although he indeed seems like a Heavenly Vertical Genius, haven’t we secretly supported many Heaven’s Chosen in recent years? All outstanding individuals, but in the end, not even one made it to the Sixth Great Realm."
"Dad, you haven’t experienced the Dragon and Snake List with him..." Leroy Baker’s eyes were somewhat resentful: "In any case, I want to put my share on him."
Father waved his hand: "That share is for you, so of course, you have the right to decide. However, since this is a major matter, I will give you ten days to think about it. After ten days, I’ll come back to ask you and if you still hold the same decision, you won’t be able to change it."
"Alright!"
There were ten brothers and sisters in the Moses Sect, and Leroy Baker ranked second among them. Since he was street-savvy and suited to be in the public eye, people subconsciously considered him the "Young Master of Moses Sect.".
In fact, at home, regardless of their status as legitimate or illegitimate children, male or female, their father prepared for each of them a very generous "investment fund." There would be only one share, which could be used directly for investment once they found a good opportunity.
This investment could be buying low and selling high, or a long-term commitment. Of course, it could also be a promising Cultivator!
If you don’t invest and just spend it on yourself for the rest of your life, that would be more than enough.
The Moses Sect foresaw today’s crisis, and the Baker Family had long been cultivating their own cultivators, hoping to have their own Sixth Great Realm.
However, the path of Cultivation was the most unreliable business, and the Baker Family had invested countless resources, with the highest one achieving only the Fifth Realm, Sixth Meal.
Today’s dependable backers in the Sixth Great Realm were not from Moses Sect.
Despite this, apart from the "Cultivator" business, the Moses Sect’s other operations were booming, making money faster, and its development became more rapid, making the crisis seem more imminent.
...
Owen Bertram, with the Emperor’s gold medal, entered the palace once again to report back: "Your humble servant has already negotiated with the Moses Sect, and they are very eager for His Majesty to hold shares. For the specific details, please send someone to discuss with them."
"Hahaha! My dear Minister, you truly are my lucky star!" The Emperor was in a great mood, both hands pressing on the table in front of him: "I will not send anyone else, but I’ll have you do it. I don’t trust anyone else’s work; only when you do it, will I be at ease!"
Owen Bertram: "..."
If anyone else were praised like this by the Emperor and considered his confidant, they would be ecstatic, but Sir Owen felt rather speechless, thinking about how to turn down this task when the Emperor laughed and said, "I have also prepared a small gift for my dear Minister."
"Huh?" Owen Bertram was puzzled.
"Number One in Dragon and Snake List, how about that? Hahaha! I will definitely not mistreat a meritorious minister."
"This... Your humble servant dares not accept Your Majesty’s favor."
"Why not dare?" The Emperor glared. "Among all the civil and military officials, only you know my heart. The others either want to gain fame or want to plunder my national treasury!"
Owen Bertram was quite speechless, feeling that his recent actions were a bit too deep, and he had maneuvered himself into the role of a treacherous minister!
He could only stiffen up and ask, "How does Your Majesty plan to get your humble servant to be Number One in the Jiali List?"
"It’s simple," the Emperor showed off his intelligence. "The Palace Examination is set by me. I will just inform you of the test questions ahead of time, right?"
You really are a pair of good ministers with Evans Graham, both using the same tricks.
"In my Imperial Library, there is a ’Hundredfold Path’ established during the Great Ancestor’s time, originally intended to train the tenacity of the Royal Family descendants. With numerous mechanisms and dangers, I will use the Hundredfold Path as the topic to test the Dragon and Snake List Genius."
