"So you're telling me that my brother spent a month enjoying himself in the Kingdom of Kant."

"He blew up the royal city, attacked the king, and seized other people's territory."

"As a result, the people of the kingdom were so grateful that they made him the lord of their territory."

"And there's even a little daughter with the surname Clavner!?"

Lia paced anxiously back and forth in the study, glancing at Victor with disbelief every now and then.

Any one of these things, if picked out, would be quite explosive.

So all these things happened to Viktor alone?

That's absurd!

Victor sat quietly at his desk, ignoring Leah's anxious reaction.

Lia suddenly stopped and rushed up to Victor, slamming her hand heavily on the table.

This startled Vega, who was dozing on the table.

Its fur stood on end, and its eyes were slightly raised upwards.

What came into view was Lia's face, flushed with anger.

Victor watched Lia calmly, his expression as still as a windless lake.

Leah stared intently into Victor's deep, obsidian-like eyes, and angrily questioned him:

"So you lied to me because you thought I was easy to bully?"

"Shuelben bears my signature, and the princess can also write for me..."

"I won't listen!"

Lia held her head in her hands and began pacing back and forth in anguish.

Leah was initially happy that Victor had returned early in the morning.

After all, Viktor has been gone for so long, it's impossible for Leah not to miss him at all.

Even the way they greeted Viktor became much more friendly, asking him if he wanted to eat something or rest.

Her smile was full of gentleness and care.

The first thing Victor did when he got home was to call Leah to his study with the excuse, "I have something to tell you."

Then?

And then there's this whole bunch of stuff.

Viktor, in a tone as if making an announcement, succinctly told her:

“There’s an extra piece of our territory in the kingdom. You’d better send some of your family’s retainers there to manage it.”

Lia initially thought she had misheard.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Are you too tired? You should take a rest."

So Victor gave her a positive answer.

The smile on Lia's face gradually crumbled.

Yes, this is no joke. Victor really did bring back a piece of territory from the Kingdom of Kant—Shulbone.

Good heavens, what was this lord thinking, who does absolutely nothing, that he actually acquired another territory?!

Don't assume that a new territory is a good thing.

That was for Viktor.

This lord, who doesn't care about anything, only needs to sit and wait to collect his money.

However, for Lia, who tries to do everything herself as much as possible.

This remote territory undoubtedly made her already scarce free time even more precious.

The journey back and forth between the capital and Braxton was already exhausting enough for her.

As a result, another one, Shulburne, was added!

Lia was on the verge of a breakdown. She held her head in her hands, squatting in the corner with a look of utter despair on her face, her mind racing with thoughts.

The management of Shulburn undoubtedly requires a large number of people.

If there is any need for residential building repairs, that would be an even greater expense.

Moreover, that's a kingdom, and even if Victor becomes the lord, they will only fear Victor.

What? She's Viktor's sister.

Who would care about her?

Even if this territory is very valuable, it won't be profitable until next year.

With a year to go, just the way she personally managed everything back and forth, she probably would have died from exhaustion.

Her life was already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.

However, just as Lia was about to break down, Victor calmly took out a gold card and placed it on the table.

The dazzling gold light pierced through the air, attracting Lia's attention.

She slowly stood up, turned her head, and looked at the card that shimmered with an alluring gold hue.

She instantly slumped onto the table, picked up the card, and examined it carefully over and over again:

"What's this?"

It bears the exclusive gold-plated logo of the Cassidra Merchant Guild, and below the logo is a line of small print—Cassidra.

As a businesswoman, Lia was naturally very familiar with this logo.

The Cassidra Chamber of Commerce is the largest and wealthiest chamber of commerce in the world.

Their business spans almost every corner of the world.

Victor looked at Leah, who was lost in thought, and said calmly:

There are a billion inside.

"Take the young master?"

The moment Liya heard the number, she froze on the spot.

She struggled to look away from the card, her gaze falling on Viktor, and blurted out:

"Are you going to rob someone?"

Putting aside the fact that the other party seized territory, what's with this gold card?!

What does one billion yuan mean?

Even the total annual income of all industries and businesses in their entire Clevina territory doesn't amount to this much.

The money they earned from selling medicine over six months, plus the sales revenue from the shop they partnered with Duke Reeves for the past month.

The total is only a few tens of millions.

Moreover, this figure does not include the salaries of employees and servants, various land management expenses, building repairs, etc.

Victor clasped his hands together, leaned on the desk, calmly looked at Leah, and said:
