MTLNOVEL Chapter 52: Young Snake_3
Adelle was scared out of his wits, hurried over, explaining while he walked, "Father, I... I just, you know, I have no talent for business. So... I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I definitely won't. Really."
Prince Sambo quietly watched Adelle, without saying a word. Adelle's scalp began to tingle.
*Is this a new prelude to anger? I've never experienced this before.*
After a while, Prince Sambo pushed a small envelope lying on the coffee table towards Adelle, continued to look through the booklet in his hand, and said casually, "Go to the warehouse and get five million gold coins to fill the gap."
"Uh... Father, you wouldn't be trying to kick me out of the house, right? This is my inheritance, right?"
"I heard you made a good friend, making friends also costs money. You can't do business, but if you're good at making friends, that's a bright spot." Saying this, Prince Sambo closed the booklet he held, yawned, and stood up, "Get some rest early."
Before Adelle could react, Prince Sambo had already brushed past him. Adelle stood dumbfounded in the living room, staring at the envelope on the coffee table, feeling bewildered.
...
Hydra slowly opened its eyes and saw Jones and Bruto. In the next moment, all nine heads stood upright, nervously looking around. With a roar that echoed throughout the territory of Giant Snake City.
"Miss! Miss! It's over! We won! We won! It's over!" Jones quickly stopped Hydra.
*Yes, it's over.*
The entire territory of Giant Snake City was filled with laughter.
The banner of the Giant Snake and the Silver Moon flag were simultaneously flying over Giant Snake City. Everyone in the city was free, including Jones' former slaves, and even himself.
No matter what, Jones had finally taken the very first step in the true sense, and the most crucial step. In this father-son struggle, he achieved victory by his own strength. It truly announced the birth of a new Blood Clan Lord, as well as the birth of Giant Snake City.
The road ahead was still very long, so long that it stretched beyond sight, but we had every reason to believe that the hatchling snake had broken out of its shell. Though still very weak, it was resilient enough. It would certainly walk the road ahead, solve the myriad problems it encountered, and face all kinds of crises.
"Hmm, even if he can't, doesn't he still have Gray?"
Indeed, after ten thousand years of decline, accompanied by the emergence of the Silver Moon Banner, a great era was coming. On the tumultuous continent of Keltos, we still hoped he would appear as a Hydra Knight, the Lord of Giant Snake City, and not as the adopted son of Lich King Gray, not as a vassal of anyone.
After all, children would eventually grow up, and the saplings of yesteryears would someday grow into towering trees.
Before becoming a strong person, he must first have a strong heart. And those who could stand after enduring all storms without dependence, deserve to be called strong.
...
Here, the story of the Hydra Knight and the prelude to the birth of Giant Snake City, which would not be recorded in any historical documents, finally came to a perfect end. Oh, no, there was one follow-up that wasn't particularly perfect.
In the Second Year of the Fifth Era of Elf History, the Second Year of the Silver Moon Calendar in August, six months after the Battle of Giant Snake City, the goblins did indeed build a road to Giant Snake City. After all, they'd do anything for their chickens.
Of course, this wasn't the crux of the matter, the crux was that Jones had already set rules for himself. As a City Lord, he must have good credibility. So, he couldn't break his promise, including the promise made to the goblins.
Thus... you know, Giant Snake City expanded rapidly while simultaneously teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Just as stated before, the road was still long.
