My blood pressure's a little high, but the fourth update is still coming!
Let the recommendation votes soar!
Hearing Enzo and Alda's exchange, the young nobles and wealthy merchants' children in the residence all panicked at once. They looked at each other in terror. A few timid wastrels who spent their days doing nothing but eating, drinking, and making merry had already begun shouting, "This has nothing to do with us! We only came to attend the banquet!"
Others loudly announced that their father was such-and-such a count, their uncle was such-and-such a marquis, or that some distant relative was such-and-such a duke.
Still others shrieked at the top of their lungs about how much wealth their fathers, uncles, aunts, and other relatives possessed, declaring that anyone who dared harm them would become their family's mortal enemy. In short, they meant to use power and wealth to intimidate Enzo!
Enzo watched these frantic young wastrels with cold eyes, a mocking sneer curling across his lips.
Alda, meanwhile, pulled out a stack of banknotes with a total value of roughly ten billion gold coins and heavily slapped them against his palm. "Your families are rich? Want to compare whose family has more money with this count? Hey, can all your damned families put together match the Longshan Family's wealth?"
The shouting children of wealthy merchants all shut their mouths at once. Speechless, they stared at the glowing-faced Alda, suddenly realizing just what kind of monstrosity the Longshan Family was. Among the powerful and wealthy across the entire Western Continent, who did not know that the Longshan Family spent money like water and did not treat gold coins as gold at all?
Some street rumors even claimed that the Longshan Family's servants ate gold for every meal and shat silver afterward!
