Chapter 779 Not a Penny to Give
With a straightened expression, Dous said aloud, "Yes, Commander of Wyverns!"
So did Abraham, who was relieved that Leo did not seem to have any intention of holding him
responsible.
Luckily, he didn''t offend Leo too much, otherwise ......
Abraham no longer dared to think about it.
Leo narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does the Pompeii Imperial Family rely on to maintain arge
n, since they do not care about earthly affairs?"
In his view, whether it was the Valenham royal family or the Pompeii imperial family, they were all
families made up of people.
As long as this is the case, one cannot avoid behaving like a human being, eating, drinking, ying
and having fun.
Money is even more fundamental to the establishment of the n.
Dous sighed and said, "They do not care about earthly affairs, but we need to pay tribute of half of
the year''s profits to the Pompeii imperial family, and that is how they make a living."
"The Pompeii imperial n''s mission is to cultivate. As long as the martial art is strong, there is nothing
you can''t get. We, the royal n, are just vassals of their imperial n, surrendering money in
exchange for their protection, and they wille out every once in a while to travel around the world."
After listening to Dous’ introduction about the Pompeii imperial family, Leo dawned on him and
probably understood somewhat.
In fact, ever since Angus first mentioned the Pompeii Imperial n, he had always had the illusion that
it was as if they were a reclusive family that had left the world behind, not out in the world but still able
to influence the outside world.
Just as the bridge used by the Pompeii imperial family to connect with the royal family ---- the Maiden is
no match for the ordinary women.
The temperament is different.
The Pompeii imperial family, more like a transcendent ancient martial family, is dedicated to only the
martial arts.
This brought Leo''s thoughts back to a few years ago, when he was leading his army all the way north,
when he suddenly encountered a white-robed old man who stopped the road and told Leo that this
road was impassable, and that he should take a detour if he wanted to move forward.
At that time, the vast majority of people proposed to simply run over them, they had 100,000 people in
the troop, who would they be afraid of?
But Leo chose to make an unprecedented detour, much to the bewilderment of many of his men.
The reason given by Leo at the time was that the old man was not an ordinary person and that ordinary
guns and cannons would most likely be ineffective against him.
After hearing Leo''s words, all the men were shocked, the guns were ineffective?
Is there really such a person in the world?
At that time, Leo had not yet be a Commander of Wyverns, and his cultivation was not as good as
it is today. That old man guarding the mountain had put him under great pressure, and if he broke
through, the result would most likely be a total loss of his army.
Now that he recalled the incident again, Leo realised that he might havee across an ancient
martial arts family like the Pompeii Imperial Family at that moment.
Leo pondered for a long time, then suddenly said to Dous, "Since this is the case, from now on, your
Cohen n will not need to make contribution to the Pompeii Imperial n, in addition, disconnect all
cooperation rted to the Pompeii Imperial n. I will send you a list of new cooperation partners, you
just give the projects to them."
At that, Abraham''s face changed slightly and he was about to say no, but Dous gave him a fierce
re and kicked him hard, signalling him to shut up.
He nodded with a smile, "Yes."
Leo had submitted, but Leo''s eyes remained indifferent as he held out three fingers.
"Three days, I''ll give you three days to finish, any problem?"
"No problem."
Dous said respectfully, "The day after tomorrow is when the Pompeii Imperial Family wille to
collect the annual fee, so before then, make sure that things are done."
Leo nodded and then left the Cohen''s.
After Leo left, Dous and Abraham immediately stood up.
Abraham''s face changed wildly, with a look of horror and even some reproach as he looked towards
Dous.
"Master, do you know what you were saying? You''ll get the whole Cohen n killed!"
"If we don''t give the Cohen imperial family money, they''ll be furious!"
However, in contrast, Dous continued to look as normal and even had a somewhat indifferent
expression as he asked rhetorically, "So what?"
"......"
Abraham was stunned and looked at Dous incredulously.
His mouth opened, but not a word coulde out.
It was clear that he had seen the family head''s determination.
Outside, thunder still rolled in the sky and the wind roared. Dous’ eyes stared deadly at the visions
outside, and after a long silence, he suddenly sighed quietly.
"Abraham, what do you think of our Cohen family will be in the future?"
"The future?"
Abraham froze for a moment, ncing at the dark sky, the corners of his mouth bitter: "There is a
imperial family up there, my Cohen n will never have a day toe out."
"Yes, there are imperial families up there, not only my Cohen n, but the other seven royal families,
they are facing the same situation as us. They don''t have a person who can lead, but our Cohen n
does."
"Does the Pompeii imperial family have to be superior to others? They can concentrate on cultivating
the martial arts to conquer and enve other family powers?"
A series of rhetorical questions left Abraham speechless.
Perhaps in the eyes of somemoners in Valenham, they, the Valenham royal families are the gods
of Valenham.
But only they know that there are people beyond them.
Dous paused and asked, "Abraham, now it''s time to take sides, who do you think is more powerful,
the Commander of Wyverns in Pompeii or the Pompeii Imperial Family?"
"The imperial family for sure!"
Abraham said without thinking, "Not to mention the fact that there are so many experts inside the
imperial family, it is protected by the War Department, and there is nothing the Commander of Wyverns
can do about it."
When he said that, he suddenly felt that the Commander of Wyverns was nothing great.
Unexpectedly, Dous sneered, "Do you really think that a small temple dispute can restrict the
Commander of Wyverns? Let me ask you, of the four major realm guards of the War Department,
southeast and northwest, the North Realm is the most important, can the other three major guards in
the east, west and south pose a threat to the Commander of Wyverns of the North?"
Abraham was dumbfounded by the question. It was true that the Commander of Wyverns of the
Northernd had disappeared from the Northernd, but the Northernd was still as solid as gold,
and no one in the Eastern, Western or Southern Realms dared to do anything to it.
"How many people do you think would be willing to follow if Mr. Cohen were to call on the world in the
name of the Commander of Wyverns?"
"Does the Pompeii Imperial Family really have a chance of winning?"
Dous’ gaze is deep and his tone is hushed.
Abraham has been shocked beyond belief, and the future of Leo''s has be unknown.
At that moment, a car stopped in front of Cohen''s door and a woman in ck leather holding a ck
umbre ced a note on the Cohen''s table before he left.
Opening the note, Dous and Abraham''s faces changed dramatically in unison.
Only the names of several families andpanies are written on it.
Without exception, all are powerful families from outside the province.
These families are gentry in their cities, but in Valenham, they may not even be considered second-rate
powers.
But they had one thing inmon - they were subservient families of Leo.
The aim of Leo is obvious: all rivers and streams will return to the sea.
What is the sea?
It''s Valenham.
"The sky is about to change in Valenham."
If the Cohen royal family poured the resources of the entire n to support these families, not to say
reach the level of a royal family, a family at the level of a quasi-royal would still be possible.
The rainstorm continued all day and night before the rain cleared.
During this time, Leo became silent and rarely smiled.
Not to mention Lydia, even Emilia felt that her father had changed.
"Daddy, what''s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
Emilia asked as she came to Leo''s side with the doll in her arms.
Leo exuded a sombre aura all over his body and was so preupied that he made Emilia unhappy
along with him.
Leo smiled and saidfortingly, "I am fine."
"What''s wrong with you?"
Finally, Lydia sulked and took the initiative toe forward and ask.
Since the disagreement over the dowry, Lydia has also gradually discovered one thing, that is, their
views on rtionships seem to be a bit at odds.
Lydia thought that the couple should share property and there was nothing wrong with giving him the L
Group.
But Leo felt he could not afford it, as if he had returned to Lydia just to make it up to her.
Lydia is ufortable about it.
But she couldn''t show it, so she had to suppress her discontent and pretend that nothing was wrong.
She could see that Leo had something on his mind, and that it had nothing to do with herself.
"I''m fine."
Leo smiled faintly and then went to work.
"Leo."
Lydia called out to him, and Leo looked back over.
Lydia bit her lip and said, "Whatever it is, you can say it and I will listen."
Leo froze slightly, then smiled a little more.
"Okay."
After a slight nod, he left.
Just after going out, he received calls from Ronnie, Lennox and Millie, the forces on the Pearl had
arrived in Valenham.
The Cohen family has already started to make its move, distributing all the resources, all equally, to
them.
Some families developed rapidly and instantly became the newest nobility in Valenham.
At the same time, a stretch car pulled up in front of the Cohen’s.
The driver escorted a servant-like man striding into the Cohen’s.
"Where is your family head? I am here to collect this year''s sry money, which is 200 billion in total."
The man said aloud, not giving Leo a second thought.
Not long after, Dous walked out with Abraham and looked at the servant and smiled, "Two hundred
billion? That seems to be fifty billion more thanst year."
The servant sneered, "Nonsense, you have the blessing of the imperial family, what is yourint
about? Let alone fifty billion, even if it is doubled again, you will still have to give it!"
"Without our Pompeii imperial family, your Cohen n is nothing, it will soon be reced and annexed,
I guess."
The servant''s mockery intensified.
A gloomy look shed across Dous’ eyes, but with a faint smile, he said, "Sorry then, we won''t pay a
single cent."
