By now, Yang Fan understood this all too deeply.
His Divine Kingdom was like a mountain of treasure that could never be mined dry. His wealth would only keep growing.
The problem was that his Divine Kingdom was developing too quickly—so quickly that he had no standing in the Real World to match it.
This situation had even begun to frighten Yang Fan. He kept as low a profile as possible, afraid that his Divine Kingdom's output would disrupt the Real World's trading system and draw attention.
Just as Yang Da had said, although the Yang Group now had a certain amount of influence in the Warfront Starfield, it still amounted to little in the Human Federation as a whole.
His two wives, however, possessed far more influence in the Real World than he did.
