Eps. 264 — His Majesty the Emperor
"How serious is this conflict between Empires?" Jian Chen asked, his face looking disheveled after hearing Miou Lin's explanation.
"As for that we don't know, only His Majesty the Emperor knows about it. Maybe when he gets here he'll tell me that."
Jian Chen let out a long sigh, for some reason his mind felt heavy, he then drank the tea that had previously been prepared on the table.
A servant shortly afterwards came into the room Jian Chen and Miou Lin conversed, he whispered in Miou Lin's ear before the girl nodded slowly.
"Prepare the best banquet immediately, have a few warriors supervise the association shop twenty meters away and make sure no suspicious people pass by here!" Tell Miou Lin to the waiter.
The waiter nodded and resigned.
Miou Lin turned his head back towards Jian Chen. "Young Master Jian, in an hour Your Majesty the Emperor will be here to conduct a hidden meeting with the Association, considering that Young Master Jian is part of us, will you come along?"
The meeting of Miou Lin and His Majesty the Emperor is confidential, it should not be known to others even according to Miou Lin, His Imperial Majesty will also go undercover while heading to the association.
"What will Miss discuss at the meeting?" Jian Chen first asked.
"I'm not too sure but there is a possibility about our associate business."
Jian Chen frowned, "Miss Lin, one thing is still stuck in my mind, why is the association cooperating with the Imperial Government?"
Miou Lin seemed to think for a moment, trying to summarize everything she wanted to say. After a while he then explained the big reason.
In short, the reason the Miou clan Association was now able to branch out all the way to the 12 Dragon Provinces was due to the influence of the Imperial government.
The association sold almost half its resources to the government before it was spread to 11 provinces, even according to Miou Lin, the association has opened other branches in several countries thanks to its cooperation with the government.
Jian Chen held his breath, he did not expect the association to have grown that big.
"Young master Jian, you still have savings in the association of around hundreds of millions of gold pieces, no, it's almost a billion gold pieces. Your money is still saved by the association..."
Since Jian Chen owned a 5% share of the association, his monthly income would increase as the association's development also increased, not to mention that the young man had not taken his income for the past three years so it was no wonder his wealth was already incalculable.
If wealth was calculated in terms of individuals, then Jian Chen was the richest person in the current Dragon empire.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, his whole life even in his dreams even though he never thought of having such a large sum of money.
Even though not thinking too much about worldly possessions, still getting that much money is not something that is ignored by his feelings.
Though Jian Chen's money had been cut for the purposes of the Jian clan, but even though it had been channeled as much money as that his wealth was still fairly abundant.
For the matter of such money, Jian Chen could take it at any time in the various branches of the association.
Jian Chen then turned to his main topic of meeting with the Dragon Emperor, he would probably join the meeting if there were no problems over his presence.
***
Dragon Empire, since long ago until now is still hereditary led by one famous noble family, the Lin Family.
Lin Jiangxa who was the head of the Lin family as well as the Emperor was now the tenth generation of his family who had served as Emperor.
Now almost 50y years he has served as Emperor, many things he overhauled from the previous government including the prohibition of slavery legally.
Lin Jiangxa was also touted as the number 1 strongest hero of the Dragon Empire for having successfully achieved cultivation in the realm of the Celestial Realm Stage 9.
Whereas previously no one had achieved such cultivation in his empire, the old generation hero alone could only reach the 8th stage of the Sky Realm.
With his strength growing higher, Lin Jiangxa being increasingly respected by the surrounding people, many clans and noble families began to submit under his orders.
In his first life, Jian Chen had never met directly with the Dragon Emperor so it was no wonder he was a little stunned to see Lin Jiangxa sitting opposite to him.
Lin Jianxa exuded a high aura of nobility, anyone who saw him would try to lower their heads when they faced each other, it happened to Miou Lin who was even awkward when with the Emperor.
Lin Jiangxa was a middle-aged man who had a handsome face, his eyes were perfectly black and had long hair that was now slightly bleached.
"Your Majesty, please drink it..." Miou Lin smiled awkwardly, it has been a long time that the girl has not felt this mouthful in front of someone.
Jian Chen sat beside Miou Lin, although this was a secret meeting but the Dragon Emperor to the Association brought a woman with him so that in the room there were now four people.
"Thank you Miss Lin, it's an honor to see you again..." Jianxa smiled widely.
"Ah, I do too, I mean, I also feel so Your Majesty." Miou Lin smiled clumsily.
Jianxa laughed. "There's no need to be that formal Miss Lin, just think of us as ordinary business associates."
Miou Lin tried to maintain her smile even though she still felt awkward in her heart.
Jianxa then glanced at Jian Chen who was beside him, as if understanding that glance, Miou Lin then introduced Jian Chen to Jianxa as the most important part of the same Association as him.
Jianxa frowned when he saw Jian Chen who looked so young yet had a high position in an association of this magnitude.
In Jianxa's view, Jian Chen had an authority radiating in his body let alone the young man's golden eyes that looked so mesmerizing.
One awkward thing from the young man, although it felt faint but Jianxa felt there was a blackish aura buried within Jian Chen.
Jianxa was sure the aura was like a murderous aura but it felt even darker.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, he realized Jianxa could faintly sense the aura of death that he was hiding from others.
"Greetings to Your Majesty..." Jian Chen smiled then gave his respect.
Jianxa nodded and returned his respect to Jian Chen. Now Jianxa introduced the woman next to him who is his seventh wife who is an expert in business.
"Seventh wife?!" Miou Lin was surprised, he almost spouted tea in his mouth when he heard that.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, although he was surprised yet he did not express it too directly.
'I heard His Majesty the Emperor has dozens of wives as well as several concubines, it seems like the news is indeed true...' Jian Chen scratched his non-itchy nose.
