Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 255 - 175: Without Money, I Have Nothing - Part 2

Chapter 255: Chapter 175: Without Money, I Have Nothing - Part 2

The little fairy turned her head, not holding much hope for the youngster before her.

"I know everything you mentioned, so just ask me!"

"You know all of it?"

"Yes."

"How many people are in your family?"

"Just me!"

"Just you?"

The little elf looked surprised.

"I’m an orphan!"

"An orphan? Then how did you grow up? And with such a nice house?"

The little fairy was stunned, then took a few steps back and looked up at the three-story detached villa in front of her. With her current salary, she’d have to work for sixty years without eating or drinking to buy one.

Of course, this is under the premise of earning a straightforward salary; if she were to earn some extra money, it would take only a few years.

But such behavior would be very risky. Once discovered, her illegal gains would be confiscated, and she would be thrown back to Fairy Town, not knowing when she could leave again.

"My uncle and aunt who adopted me are wealthy. Although I was adopted, I have an independent household registration, so it’s just me at home."

Wayne answered straightforwardly.

"How pitiful!"

A trace of sympathy appeared on the little fairy’s face at this moment,

"You’re so young, living alone in such a big house. Don’t you have a maid?"

"No one wants to take care of me here."

Wayne raised his hand to point at the small horn on his forehead,

"Because I am a tifflin."

"Oh? You’re a tifflin? I thought you were a dragon descendant!"

The little fairy, upon being reminded, belatedly noticed the difference with the little one before her. She then aimed at Wayne and cast a spell down.

Although Wayne saw the little fairy’s action, he didn’t dodge or avoid it, allowing the light to fall on him, enveloping his entire body in a hazy white glow.

Evil Identification

Such a spell, he had to be tested one to two times a month. As a tifflin living in this city, it was a required check he must endure. His uncle and aunt had undergone far more inspections due to their engagement in business.

"This is a necessary procedure, hope you can understand!"

Seeing Wayne not dodge and the white light emanating from him, the little fairy apologized with a sentence.

"I am used to it."

"Then we can begin the registration. What’s your name?"

"Wayne."

"No surname?"

The little fairy looked up, somewhat puzzled at the young child before her, as usually, only those whose ancestors were slaves would not have a surname. Anyone with a bit of background would have a surname; even if they didn’t, they would make one up.

"I have no parents."

"How pitiful!"

At this moment, the little fairy was filled with sympathy, but upon registering the child’s asset status, her sympathy shattered instantly, transforming into considerable surprise and reluctance,

"How do you own an estate in your name? And two wineries?"

"These are birthday gifts from my uncle and aunt."

Wayne answered honestly.

"You’ve mentioned them several times. Who are your uncle and aunt?"

The little fairy finally couldn’t hold back.

"They’re tifflin like me."

"Are tifflins so wealthy nowadays?"

"They might be somewhat special."

Wayne was a bit uncertain. He had a clear understanding of the world, knowing that his uncle and aunt were unjustifiably wealthy, and their kindness towards him seemed equally abnormal.

"What’s special about them?"

"I don’t know, you have to ask them."

"I will."

The little fairy nodded heavily, then looked seriously and earnestly at the young child in front of her.

"One last question, do you need a steward?"

"Huh?"

Wayne was a bit stunned.

"When I left Fairy Town, I studied financial management and operations. However, after leaving Fairy Town and joining the governing body, I became a small registration officer, and the knowledge I painstakingly learned was all useless."

The little fairy filled with resentment, complained indignantly about her dissatisfaction, then looked at the young child before her with bright eyes,

"So, would you like to hire me, to be your steward? My salary requirements are not high, as long as you let me manage your assets, and give me one-tenth of the net profits earned."

"But I am a tifflin."

Wayne didn’t mind money matters; he didn’t care about these. Since birth, he had never been troubled by money. He was just surprised that the fairy before him actually wanted to approach him, even if it was due to the lure of money.

"What does that matter? You have already passed the Evil Identification!"

The little fairy said nonchalantly.

"But aren’t you an official? Is it appropriate for you to be my steward?"

"What official? It’s basically a running errand labor. If you are willing to hire me, I will submit my resignation now!"

"Okay!"

Having nothing but money and feeling extremely lonely, Wayne did not think much and agreed in one breath. As long as he could gain a friend, even a friend driven by money, he was willing.

"Yay!"

Unexpectedly, her self-recommendation could have such a result, the little fairy cheered out, then as she said, threw down her work and went back to resign.

Unfortunately, as an institution that maintains the operation of territorial order, the Statistical Bureau is not a place where the little fairy can come and go at will.

Even if her resignation was submitted and approved, she was forcefully made to work for more than half a month to finish all her tasks before she could leave smoothly.

From that day on, the lonely and helpless Wayne had a little fairy steward, bustling around him. The tifflins responsible for adopting and taking care of him had different attitudes toward the fairy’s arrival.

"Was this sent by that man?"

"Probably."

"Didn’t see it, that man seemed so cold, yet..."

"No matter what, it’s his son. Secretly giving some benefits is quite normal, isn’t it?"

"What do we do?"

"Everything as usual, still according to the original rules, all the profits we earn from outside must be split with him fifty-fifty."

"Isn’t that too much?"

"Fool, haven’t you realized until now? Ever since we started doing business, why haven’t we had losses, haven’t you thought about the reason?"

"So that’s it."

The tifflins were both respectful and fearful of the fairy’s arrival. For those living on this land, who doesn’t know what fairies represent: not just the Holy Dragon, but also the most noble family on the Eastern Continent.

Of course, only the tifflins who know part of the inside story would have such speculation. As for unrelated people, there wasn’t much reaction to the fairy steward, because the number of fairies wasn’t small.

In the eyes of the ruling class and more of the great nobility, only the Dragon Elf can represent that terrifying Holy Dragon and the Augustus family; other big and small fairies, needn’t be bothered!

"Did you send this little fairy?"

"No, she went on her own."

Noah denied it,

"I only gave a little financial support!"

"Don’t you think a child this young holding such vast assets is extremely dangerous?"

Tidel frowned, looking at the documents Noah brought over.

"Dangerous? Who do you mean?"

The Golden Dragon breathed out a wisp of flame,

"I’ve already told you, his talent isn’t bad. Your own son at the same age could rip apart a ferocious beast with his hands; do you think your grandson could fare any less?"

"What do you mean? Isn’t he without inherited bloodline?"

Tidel frowned,

"Just being polluted by hell demon energy, how strong could his power be?"

"I’ve told you before, if you want to know the situation, just go see for yourself. Relying solely on reports and descriptions isn’t useful."

Noah said lazily; his recent pastime was watching the little one’s growth.
