"In those regards, no problem. I'll take care of it!"
Huh...?
Both the Great Elder and the Clan Leader had puzzled expressions on their faces at what Zheng-Fu had said. How would he arrange it?
But as they were wondering, Zheng-Fu asked with a casual smile, "How much money do you guys need?"
"We… Um… We owe about two hundred million demon crystal coins to other clans. Right now, our clan's income is only five to six million demon crystal coins a year. After deducting the clan's expenses, it's almost nonexistent," the Great Elder said, embarrassed.
"Do you guys have Central Bank of Ten Thousand Monsters cards?" Zheng-Fu asked directly, immediately inquiring about the Central Bank of Ten Thousand Monsters deposit card.
"Of course, I have one, but why?" The Clan Leader took out a purple card and asked Zheng-Fu curiously why he was asking about the central bank deposit card.
"I'll transfer the money to your card." After speaking, Zheng-Fu immediately took out his golden deposit card from his dimensional ring.
Huh!!?
"A gold card!!!"
Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. To possess a gold card, one would need at least five hundred million coins on it. And, of course, Zheng-Fu's card was an even brighter gold than a normal gold card, which made them think it must exceed a billion.
"Please take out your card. I'll transfer one billion demon crystal coins for you to pay off your debt and develop your clan. By then, you guys will be able to help me, right?" Zheng-Fu said, with an unfazed smile on his face.
"Ye… yes… yes, of course. By the way, Young Master, how much did you say you would transfer?" the Clan Leader asked in shock after hearing the amount Zheng-Fu intended to transfer.
"One... billion... devil... crystal... coins," Zheng-Fu repeated slowly and clearly, word by word.
"One billion demon crystal coins!!?"
Both the Great Elder and the Clan Leader felt like they were in a dream, a dream they didn't want to wake up from. But just as they were lost in thought, Zheng-Fu's faint cough interrupted and brought them back to reality.
Ahem!
"Did I say something wrong?" Zheng-Fu asked, feigning innocence as if he didn't understand their reactions. But inside, he was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
"No, not at all. We're just a little shocked. And here's my deposit card," the Clan Leader said, waving his hand dismissively and handing his deposit card to Zheng-Fu.
Zheng-Fu took the card without saying anything further. He simply touched his card to the Silver Body Clan Leader's card and activated the engraved spell, transferring one billion to the Clan Leader's purple card. As the transfer was completed, the purple card instantly changed color to gold.
Seeing his deposit card turn gold, a soft cry of satisfaction escaped the Clan Leader. Joyful expressions were clearly visible on both the Great Elder and the Clan Leader's faces. Today was a very happy day for them, and they were incredibly grateful to the two brothers for bringing Zheng-Fu here.
"Done, Clan Leader," Zheng-Fu said, tossing the card back to the Clan Leader once the transfer was complete.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu. Um… you can just call me Song-Lang," Song-Lang immediately thanked Zheng-Fu, no longer holding back his gratitude. Zheng-Fu was like a god who had favored him and his clan.
"And my name's Shuan-Gong," the Great Elder officially introduced himself as well.
"I'm pleased to meet you again, Clan Leader Song-Lang and Great Elder Shuan-Gong," Zheng-Fu said, formally greeting them again, with Jin-Tian by his side.
"No need to be so formal. Alright, I'll have someone take care of accommodation for you, Young Master. Please consider this your home," the Clan Leader said with a smile.
"I still have a few questions. I'd like to know about those two brothers. Can you tell me what happened to them, Clan Leader Song-Lang?" Zheng-Fu asked, feeling deeply concerned and wanting to save them from their suffering.
"That's… Um... Sigh!!! The story is that…"
After Zheng-Fu asked, Song-Lang's expression became slightly troubled. But he finally recounted what had happened long ago, when the two brothers were still small children. It was a story about how their parents had a conflict with a large clan.
On that day, members of the large clan came to take action. They tried to drag the brothers' mother away, but their father refused. A fight broke out, and their father killed the son of the large clan. This led to a major issue, placing their clan under heavy pressure.
To make amends for what had happened, both parents sacrificed their lives to end the conflict. But even after that, the large clan still wouldn't leave the Silver Body Clan alone, driving it to its lowest point. The clan had to send its members to work as laborers and send youngsters to dangerous places to find treasures to raise money to help the clan survive.
Naturally, everyone blamed the parents of the two young men for the clan's misfortune. The two brothers were despised and blamed as well. Song-Lang also mentioned that he had sworn brotherhood with the boys' father.
But he couldn't help his sworn brother at all. All he could do now was protect the two young men as much as he could. However, his efforts weren't enough to save them from being hated by the clan's members.
The money Zheng-Fu gave would help the clan recover and also free the two young men from this burden. Song-Lang was eager to go out and apologize to them himself.
Outside the hall where Zheng-Fu, the Clan Leader, and the Great Elder were...
"Do you think those two are really from our race?"
"I don't know either. But I can tell they're very strong."
"That's right. They're the same age as those two brothers, but they seem much stronger. Compared to others their age, they're at the top."
"If they really are from our race, that would be great. Our clan would have more people, and stronger ones at that."
"More people? I don't care about that. I just want our clan's debts to be gone. These days, I have to work cleaning dirty toilets every day just to earn a few coins."
"Me too. It's all because of those two guys' parents!"
As these words were spoken, all eyes turned to the two brothers with disgust. Whenever they thought about that day, it brought them pain. That event forced them to live difficult lives, working hard just to help the clan pay off its debts.
Inside the hall, after discussing for a while, Zheng-Fu informed them of the agreement. He also mentioned that he would be happy to fully assist the Silver Body Clan in any way he could.
Additionally, Zheng-Fu helped improve the Silver Body Clan's skill to a mystical level because he thought he might need the clan's help in the future. Therefore, increasing their energy strength was a necessary part of the plan.
After that, the Clan Leader and the Great Elder walked out of the main hall, while the clan members waited curiously to see what had happened. Did the examination prove that the two were of the same race?
The answer came when Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian followed them out, smiling and talking to the Clan Leader and Great Elder in a friendly manner. By now, Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian had transformed back into their Bull Elf Race forms.
"Big Brother Fu-Zheng!" Diao shouted joyfully when he saw that Zheng-Fu wasn't hurt and was walking and talking with the Clan Leader in a friendly manner.
Den shared his brother's joy but showed it more subtly. He smiled slightly and walked toward Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian. When he, his brother, and Di-Lin arrived, Song-Lang stopped and spoke in front of everyone.
"Den, Diao, you two did a great job bringing them here. Because of them, the Silver Body Clan has recovered our stolen Silver Body Clan secret skill," Song-Lang said loudly, grinning with delight, showing everyone that the two young men had made a significant contribution to the clan. Then he continued.
"Regarding what happened today, you don't have to worry. City Governor doesn't care about a small clan like us. You must be very tired today. Go and rest. I'll leave the care of our guests to you."
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Both brothers were extremely puzzled by the Clan Leader's words and expressions. What had happened after Zheng-Fu entered the main hall? What had they discussed? Why were both the Clan Leader and the Great Elder smiling so broadly? And what was that about the Silver Body Clan's secret skill?
But neither of them dared to ask too many questions. They simply did as the Clan Leader commanded, leading Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian back to their home. The place they lived in didn't resemble a home at all. It was old and shabby, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.
"Is this your home?"
