Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Grandpa Wang was unwilling to bring up those issues, only letting Liu Ning handle the division himself. This was a strategic retreat—you've kicked the ball to me, but I'm not going to take it; you have to kick it back yourself. When they have gathered their strength, they will return to this city, because this city has brought them immense difficulties, and they will absolutely not abandon the people here.
Grandpa Wang was unwilling to bring up those issues, only letting Liu Ning handle the division himself. This was actually quite a gracious gesture. As the woman's parents, they should have brought it up, but he didn't. This was a strategic retreat—you've kicked the ball to me, but I'm not going to take it; you have to kick it back yourself. That's Grandpa Wang's clever way of handling things. Liu Ning, standing beside him, felt somewhat ashamed. He knew he didn't have the ability to negotiate with these old foxes. In this situation, he could only listen obediently. If he didn't listen carefully, things might get complicated. Everyone knew the current situation, so they had to proceed accordingly.
"Don't worry, sir. I wonder if you remember that I own the Silver City Building. Also, my relationship with Maria's family is quite good. I once promised the Morgan family 10% of the shares in the city's power plant, and all the legal documents have been signed. It's just that I don't usually go there. If possible, I'll give all of these things to Wang Fang as a small gift. It doesn't have any special meaning. After I return from the ancient ruins, I will also acquire some assets in the city. It's definitely too late now, mainly because I don't have the time. You know me; I don't usually care about these things. If we're talking about these things, I really can't afford them." This is what I should be doing now.
Liu Ning spoke very sincerely. If someone else had said that, Old Master Wang probably wouldn't have been in such a good mood. But since it was Liu Ning speaking, it didn't matter. Old Master Wang knew very well that Liu Ning had always done things this way. He hadn't paid much attention to these things in the past. Take the gun club he was cooperating with Wang Jun, for example. Except for the first day of each month, he never checked the accounts. Fortunately, Wang Jun wasn't a greedy person. If he had been, the outcome would have been hard to say. That's why things are the way they are now. So, there's no way to say anything more. We'll see what happens next. If everyone is willing, we can divide it up. If not, it's hard to say.
Grandpa Wang never valued these things in his life. If he had focused on managing his family fortune from the beginning, the Wang family's assets would definitely be much greater than they are now. Grandpa Wang had devoted his entire life to the military, so he didn't have many assets under his name. However, Grandpa Wang also knew the value of the two items Liu Ning mentioned. With these two items as a safety net, his granddaughter would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life. He had only intended to give Liu Ning a hint, but he didn't expect the young man to be so shrewd and generous. If these two items were converted into money, it would be an astronomical figure. Wang Feng could very well become the richest woman in the city. Of course, that's all in the future. Now is not the time to talk about that. It's enough to test Liu Ning's sincerity.
“You really need to be careful at the ancient ruins. Before you leave, come to my house for a meal. I'll have his parents come back too. You should have met them before, but we didn't have a formal introduction. So this time, let's have a proper introduction. I originally found him a young officer from another city, but the girl didn't want to. I'm not one to force people, so I sent him back. His parents also feel uncomfortable being with you, so they're understandably a little angry. You can handle this yourself. When you come back, bring your family with you. That way, we can resolve this all at once and it will put your mind at ease, so you won't be distracted in the ancient ruins. It's no joke there.”
Although Grandpa Wang had never been to the ancient ruins, many of his friends had, and many had died there. Over the years, countless people had lost their lives in the ancient ruins. So, that place held immense opportunities, but also immense dangers. The selection process was already so rigorous; if your strength wasn't sufficient, going in would indeed be fatal. Therefore, it was best to be as honest as possible. If you lost your life, that would be perfectly normal. Preparations had to be done well; time was running out. If it weren't for Wang Fang's life-long happiness, Grandpa Wang wouldn't have sent Liu Ning here.
After speaking with the old man, he left immediately. It was already quite commendable that he could come and lend a hand; there were many matters to attend to in the military. Since the last attack on the city by the ferocious beasts, the city's defenses had not yet been restored. The old man was constantly running around inside and outside the city, trying to restore the defense system as soon as possible. In case another attack by ferocious beasts occurred, we needed to be able to withstand it. The tragedy of Windmill City was still fresh in our minds; if we weren't careful, this city could very well suffer the same fate. Don't think that just because the ferocious beasts retreated they won't come back; that's impossible. Ferocious beasts hold grudges. When they have gathered their strength, they will return to this city, because this city has brought them immense difficulties, and they will absolutely not abandon the people here.
When they returned to the auction house, most of the items had already been sold. At least everything Liu Ning had brought out had been sold. The two large boxes of goods brought in nearly 900 million yuan, which Liu Ning hadn't expected. This was mainly because all the items were genuine. These days, people are willing to spend huge sums of money to buy genuine items, fearing they might buy fakes. Even if they're cheap, they're useless if you buy a fake. So, these people understood very well that investing heavily here was worthwhile, at least they didn't have to worry about being ripped off. As for whether the items would appreciate in value, that wasn't their concern. They might not appreciate now, but they would definitely appreciate in the future, since these items were very rare.
