Chapter 1544: Chapter 1545: Guess How Much Money There Is
You didn’t mention the word "chop up." After all, Li Qiyi is just an ordinary girl. Such bloody and cruel words, you automatically filter out.
Li Qiyi didn’t interject. She felt that the turning point of the whole matter had arrived, and what you were going to say next should be "secrets that cannot be told to parents."
"After finishing my revenge, I suddenly found myself with nowhere to go. By chance, I came across two groups fighting in the desert, and I helped them out. Afterwards, I was invited to join an internationally influential but very secretive organization. The name of this organization is Netherworld."
Upon hearing the word "Netherworld," Li Qiyi didn’t show the expected astonishment or fear, indicating she didn’t know much about the Netherworld.
"In the Netherworld, I also met some people—some partners, some rivals, and some enemies," you paused, and said, "The Netherworld’s influence spans the world, with Jingtian Continent being the most involved. Basically, any aristocrat with a bit of family background is associated with the Netherworld. Through my own efforts, I climbed higher and higher within the Netherworld, becoming one of the twelve Death Gods. The Death God ranks just below the Queen of Underworld and Netherworld Emperor. The Netherworld Emperor is the behind-the-scenes ruler of the Netherworld, but most people in the Netherworld have never seen him, while the Queen is the actual controller."
Li Qiyi knows that you’re about to talk about the Queen of Underworld next.
However, unfortunately, you didn’t say much, only mentioned briefly, "I once saved the Queen’s life, and with her help, I became a First Class Baron of a country. The card in your hand was made in my wife’s name, because if I said it was for my elder sister, they wouldn’t approve it."
As soon as these words came out, you sneak a glance at Li Qiyi, and see that she didn’t say much. While taking a slight breath of relief, there’s also a sense of inexplicable gloom in your heart.
"I can’t accept this card," Li Qiyi suddenly spoke.
You jumped up like a rabbit stepped on the tail, your voice rising significantly, "Why?"
Seeing your reaction, Li Qiyi couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile, her laughter radiant, "I’m not lacking money, you know."
"This is not about lacking money or not, but it’s the dowry I prepared for my elder sister," you look at Li Qiyi seriously.
"I don’t want it!"
Upon hearing your words, Li Qiyi’s originally smiling face instantly turned cold, even turning away, ignoring you.
"Sis, this card is something I worked hard to get. With it, you can travel unimpeded in various countries. Also, I’ve stored ninety percent of my savings in it."
Li Qiyi wasn’t really angry at you, she just felt uncomfortable when she heard the word "dowry," slightly turning to look at you, and said, "I don’t want to hear words like ’dowry’ in the future."
"Yeah, yeah, I promise!" you sigh internally realizing it’s because of this.
"Also, I’ll temporarily keep this card for you. If you need money in the future, you can come to me to get it." At this point, Li Qiyi’s expressive face turned from cloudy to sunny, smiling like a flower, "Do you remember what I said to you when we were kids?"
"Oh?" You’re a bit dazed, feeling as if you can’t keep up with your elder sister’s pace.
Li Qiyi rolled her eyes at you, charmingly, "You sly fox, do you really not remember?"
As soon as she said this, you hurriedly shut your mouth, quickly shifted your gaze upward, pretending to inspect the restaurant’s chandelier, "Sis, this chandelier is really nice."
"You, just stop pretending in front of me, you’re even bleeding from your nose."
"Oh, really?" You instinctively reach up to touch your nose, finding nothing there, and then look at Li Qiyi, who continues to smile cheekily at you. If at this moment she had an equipped moveable tail, she’d be a full-on Fox Fairy!
"Sis, I think it’s getting late, we should go to the community hospital."
Li Qiyi didn’t answer you but instead extended her slender jade finger, and gently scraped her neatly cut fingernail on the Crystal Card.
"I’ve heard Tifa say before that this type of Crystal Card isn’t as simple as it looks on the surface, as if even bullets cannot pierce through it."
You nod, "That, I’m not too sure about, after all, no idiot would play with a Fire Floss Crystal Card worth billions this way. However, one thing is certain, ordinary sword cannot cut through it."
"How do you know?"
"Well, I have a card myself and once used it as a weapon. It worked quite well."
Hearing that you have another card, Li Qiyi was shocked again. Although she always knew her brother was different, destined to transform like a dragon, she never expected in just six years he went through so much, and acquired wealth that thousands couldn’t achieve in a lifetime!
"You have another one? Let me see."
The reason why both you and Li Qiyi are sure Li Qiyi is your mother’s biological daughter largely lies in her resemblance to your mother, especially when it comes to money, Li Qiyi’s desire for control is not less than your mother.
Since you started receiving New Year’s money, the large sums of money granted once, or several times a year have been held by Li Qiyi, under the guise of saving up for your future wife’s settlement. On this point, your mother was quite supportive back then.
You know very well that if you take it out, it will be confiscated by Li Qiyi; so consequently, moving forward, you fear that all your actions might be quite passive since you’re no longer the clueless little boy you once were.
"Sis, I can’t give you this card, and besides, ninety percent of my savings are in your hands. Can’t you just leave me a little bit?" you smiled.
Li Qiyi slightly narrowed her eyes, eyeing you, "Since you’re saying this, I won’t force you, but you have to tell me how much is in my card?"
"Why don’t you guess?" you said with a laugh.
"One billion?" Li Qiyi tentatively said a number, although she said it casually, when she thought that the card in her hand could have one billion, her heart still couldn’t help but skip a beat.
You shook your head slightly, "No."
"No? Could it be more?" Li Qiyi was even more surprised, "Then... one and a half billion?"
Li Qiyi guessed cautiously, because she worried that if she guessed too high, her heart might not take it.
You laughed and said to Li Qiyi, "My dear sister, you’re the group’s CEO’s secretary, can’t you aim a little higher?"
