Chapter 6: Justifiable Claims - Cloud Emperor Palace
"You will have the Cloud Emperor Palace under my brother Lian Yun's name, and he will hold fifty percent of the shares. Our Lin family and the Sun Family will each take twenty-five percent. As for the business income, we will use half of the profits to hire you as the Keeper of the Cloud Emperor Palace. What do you think?"
Sun Chendong's eyes lit up at this proposal, but then he wore an expression of guilt.
In today's world, if Sun Chendong still couldn't understand that Liu Haitao was an exceptionally discerning Grave Robber, then he would be unworthy of being a member of the Sun Family, unworthy of being one of the Four Great Sons.
From Lin Feiyu's suggestion, it was clear that Liu Haitao would actually be the one holding that fifty percent stake, with Lian Yun getting twenty-five percent, while the Lin family and the Sun Family would only have one-eighth each. However, this amount of wealth was insignificant to the Sun Family.
Although giving himself shares implied that the Sun Family would also act as a backing for the Cloud Emperor Palace, with support from both families, Liu Haitao would be able to operate freely and would undoubtedly acquire many precious Ghost Slaves.
Even if it meant that the Sun Family had to spend heavily to purchase them later, they would still benefit immensely. It was well known that many Ghost Slaves could not be bought even with money.
Thus, Lin Feiyu's proposal was an opportunity for Sun Chendong to gain tremendous benefits without any cost!
Naturally, given his character, he felt undeserving of such generosity.
However, Lian Yun felt even more unworthy. Having received so much from Liu Haitao without any familial ties, how could he dare to take another fifty percent stake?
But Lin Feiyu continued, "First, with this relationship established, if Cloud Emperor City faces any troubles in the future, our Lin family and the Sun Family can justifiably come to its aid! We should also repay Liu Boss for his kindness to his family!"
"Second, regardless of where you are, you should always retain some assets for future needs!"
"Third, when we arrived, we encountered Xue Steward, who is clearly a despicable person. We may have offended him upon arrival, and since Liu Boss has befriended you publicly, he might deliberately make things difficult for Liu Boss in the future! With our Lin family and the Sun Family supporting him, even if Xue is allied with others, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble. However, it would be best if places like that hall were no longer held."
When they entered, Liu Boss showed great respect and flattery towards a wealthy young master. This indicated that Liu Haitao had neither power nor backing. The fact that he managed to establish a business in the bustling area of Ghost Market spoke entirely to his personal abilities.
His trustworthy nature and willingness to give away the Cloud Emperor Palace to Lian Yun also suggested that he was fully confident in starting from scratch and making a comeback.
From this, one could discern some of Liu Haitao's capabilities.
Naturally, Liu Haitao agreed to Lin Feiyu's proposal! After all, despite his extraordinary abilities, he would still feel constrained without a solid backing.
Flattery and subservience are not something anyone genuinely wishes to engage in; they are merely a result of circumstance.
Now, with the support of both the Lin family and the Sun Family, Liu Haitao could act boldly. He would enjoy substantial financial gains while also being able to pursue what he loved. After all, if he didn't have a passion for uncovering secrets, how could he possess such keen insight?
When Lin Feiyu mentioned the third reason, Lian Yun nodded, as he did not want Liu Haitao to face any unnecessary troubles because of him.
Thus, the matter was settled! It was a win-win situation for everyone involved!
Afterward, the group entered the elevator with Yang Zai Xing.
However, just as they stepped inside, Lin Feiyu pressed the elevator door and looked at Yang Zai Xing with some difficulty. "In the city, Spirits cannot roam freely. Until your identity as a general is confirmed, if you walk around the city, it may provoke unnecessary conflicts!"
"I can enter your Ghost Group!"
Lian Yun and the others were taken aback.
But Yang Zai Xing laughed heartily and said, "If you all wished to harm me, there would be no need for previous actions or pretentious words! First and foremost—"
Yang Zai Xing glanced at Liu Haitao and continued, "Although Liu is cunning, he is still a trustworthy person. Moreover, someone who can make a crafty businessman disregard his own interests must possess commendable character!"
In conclusion, Yang Zai Xing nodded at Lian Yun!
The implication was clear: he trusted Lian Yun's character and thus believed in those who traveled alongside him.
"Like attracts like!"
Lian Yun immediately bowed and said, "You flatter me, General!"
Lin Feiyu let out a sigh of relief, took out a ring, and bowed, saying, "Then I will trouble the General for one day. Tomorrow, I will escort you to where General Yue is located!"
"Thank you, Young Master Lin!" Before the words left his mouth, Yang Zai Xing flew into Lin Feiyu's Ghost Group!
Then the group returned to the ground!
Upon reaching the hall, Liu Haitao immediately faced the direction of the hall, bowed deeply with gratitude and said, "From now on, our Cloud Emperor Palace will officially belong to the Cloud Emperor. With the support of the Lin Clan and the Sun family, there is no need for my sisters to engage in flattery any longer!"
"I would like to thank all my sisters for their care and assistance over the years!"
These Ghostly Women appeared young and beautiful, but if one were to calculate based on their time alive and dead, most were over a hundred years old spirits. Thus, it was understandable for Liu Haitao to refer to them as sisters!
However, many of the female ghosts floated over with expressions of sorrow.
"Boss Liu, are you abandoning us?"
"Not at all! If my sisters wish to remain in Cloud Emperor Palace, they can work as normal employees and receive their wages as before without having to sell smiles again. It is truly shameful for me to have made my sisters endure such indignities even after death!" Liu Haitao bowed deeply!
"If any of my sisters wish to leave, I will double their years of salary!"
Hearing this, many female ghosts felt relieved and bowed in thanks to Liu Haitao.
"We are but women; even as ghosts, without support we are vulnerable to being trampled upon. If Boss Liu is willing to take us in, we will naturally do our utmost to assist!"
"Good~~ Ladies, let me introduce you to our major shareholder, Cloud Emperor and Young Master Yun!"
"The ladies greet Cloud Emperor~~"
Lian Yun felt a bit awkward but nodded, saying, "From now on, everything in Cloud Emperor Palace will be under Liu Boss's control. Even if someone from the Lin Family comes, they must follow Liu Boss's arrangements and cannot take charge themselves!"
The women were overjoyed, and Lin Feiyu and Sun Chendong naturally had no objections!
With that, Lian Yun turned around and bowed to Liu Haitao!
However, Liu Haitao quickly dodged and said, "I can't accept this. Today, I have also gained a lot! How can I deserve such courtesy from Young Master Yun? I only hope that Young Master Yun can visit us more often when you have time!"
"When I have time?" Lian Yun thought to himself, feeling somewhat apologetic.
Lin Feiyu patted Lian Yun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! We will definitely protect Yun's interests. Well, since my uncles don't have any urgent matters at the moment, it would be great if they could come and oversee things for a day or two!"
Lin Feiyu felt relaxed, but Liu Haitao was startled. Having a Monarch come to oversee Cloud Emperor Palace? That was something he could never have imagined in his lifetime!
