Three Powers, All Satisfied

The script had changed because of the Great Living Buddha's time reversal.

What followed went much more smoothly.

Until Lord Lu arrived with his men, everyone remained cordial.

After all, for the sake of the twenty percent share of Gold Mountain's profits, they were quite polite to me, Tangba Tusi, and my wife Yangjin.

Yangjin also did her best to cooperate, smiling as she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

For the time being, she set aside the blazing hatred of enemies meeting face-to-face.

She followed me in making insincere small talk.

"Tell me, Great Tusi Tangba, why were you thinking of stepping down for your son while you're still in your prime?" Lord Lu asked curiously.

I waved a hand, saying that I was a lazy man who did not much care to manage family affairs. I only wanted to be a hands-off boss, with more time to do what I wanted and enjoy life properly.

I no longer wanted to exhaust myself with worry and effort. It was too tiring.

Besides, Maru was my son. The position of Tusi of the Tumba Family would be his sooner or later. Since he was already an adult, one day sooner or later made little difference. Young people ought to get more experience anyway.

Naturally, the Municipal Official hoped for this as well. In his eyes, Maru was already his son-in-law. If his son-in-law could become Tusi and show some capability, it would reflect well on him as the father-in-law.

Lord Lu did not think much of it after hearing this. He sighed. "That's not bad either. Take me, for example. I don't want to stay here either. I'd rather go back. Don't get any ideas from what I'm saying. It's simply because I'm not used to the food here.
