Chapter 8 Viscount Andrew

The Blood Plum Blossom moved very quickly. Two days later, Lie Wen heard the news of the sudden deaths of Helen, Leonard, and the housekeeper.

The death of the three caused a small wave of discussion in the aristocratic circle of Finlay City, but after more than ten days, no one paid attention.

Both Helen and Leonard were minor nobles, and the butler was not even a noble, so they couldn't attract much attention.

After all, Finlay City is the economic center, art center, and political center of the Holy Alliance. There are many nobles and rich people. The competition for money, power, and beauties is happening every day. There are often unclaimed corpses in the stinky gutters of the slums, and it may be some nobles.

Compared with the battles between the big nobles and the rich, this matter of the Andrew family can be used as a topic of conversation for a few days.

The officials of the Kingdom of Finlay approached Lie Wen to investigate.

Once Helen and the others died, the biggest beneficiary was Lie Wen, who naturally became the number one suspect.

However, the killer of Blood Plum Blossom was indeed professional, and he did not leave any evidence pointing to Lie Wen, so the case was finally settled.

A few days later, King Clyde of the Kingdom of Finlay officially ordered that Lie Wen inherit the title of Viscount Andrew.

For this reason, Liewen also went to the palace to participate in the honor ceremony, accepted Clyde's honor, and officially became Viscount Andrew.

He sold his mansion and lived in the mansion of the Andrew family. He was worried about the original servants of the Andrew family, so he simply gave them a sum of money, dismissed them all, and replaced them with new ones.

On this day, Lie Wen checked the asset list of the Andrew family in the study room. In addition to cash, the Andrew family also had fixed assets such as hotels, mansions, and shops. The total of fixed assets and working capital totaled more than 3000 million gold coins.

The top aristocrats in the Kingdom of Finlay usually have a family asset of around [-] million gold coins, and the Andrew family can only be regarded as a middle-level aristocrat.

"Master Viscount, Mr. Walter from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce has arrived." Lie Wen's new butler came in to report.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The butler slowly exited the study, and not long after, he brought back a middle-aged man in a black robe.

"I have met Lord Viscount Andrew." The middle-aged man in black robe bowed to Lie Wen.

"Mr. Walter, you are welcome, come and sit down." Lie Wen signaled Walter to sit across from the desk.

"Robert, go make tea." Lie Wen ordered the housekeeper.

The butler left the study as promised, and not long after, he brought a pot of black tea, poured a cup for Lie Wen and Walter, and then left the study.

After Liewen and Walter exchanged a few words, Walter got straight to the point: "Master Viscount invited me over, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Walter is the temporary head of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in the Holy Alliance. I naturally want to do business with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce." Lie Wen took a sip of black tea and said with a smile.

In the original book, Linley's first love failed, which had a lot to do with Kalan from the Debs family.

Linley's good friend Yale is the young master of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. In order to vent his anger on Linley, he specially asked the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to target the Debs family. Walter was responsible for handling this matter.

"Oh, what business does the Viscount want to do?"

Liewen turned the list of assets of the Andrew family on the desk in front of him, and pushed it in front of Walt.

"I want to entrust the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to sell the assets of the Andrew family."

"It's easy to say, I don't know which property the Viscount wants to sell?" Walter said with a smile. The Dawson Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of businesses, and it also does this kind of intermediary business, especially likes to do noble business.

Because the assets of the nobles are often not cheap, they can extract a lot of intermediary fees, and some assets that the Dawson Chamber of Commerce fancy themselves will directly pay for them.

Lie Wen pointed to the list: "All."

Walter was stunned: "All?"

Lie Wen affirmed: "Yes, all of them."

Walter couldn't help asking: "Did the Viscount encounter any difficulties?"

He didn't understand why Liewen wanted to sell the family assets.

"Could it be that he owed a huge gambling debt?" Walter secretly guessed.

"You don't need to ask any more questions." Lie Wen said lightly.

"I was rude, please forgive me, Lord Viscount." Walter also realized what was wrong just now, "Don't worry, Lord Viscount, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce will definitely find the best buyer for you."

Lie Wen nodded: "One more thing, I hope you can help me acquire some mansions in Hess City, the capital of King Hess."

"Acquire the mansion in Hess City?" Walter was once again shocked by Lie Wen's words.

The Kingdom of Hess is to the north of the Kingdom of Finlay, and the two countries belong to the Holy Alliance, separated by the Kingdom of Hanmu and several duchies.

"Sell the assets of the Kingdom of Finlay, and then buy the mansion in Hess City. What does Viscount Andrew want to do? Run away with the money?"

Several guesses flashed through Walt's mind, but this time he didn't ask. He quickly put away the shock on his face and showed his professionalism.

"What kind of mansion does the Viscount want to buy? How much? Do you have any requirements in terms of location, environment, price, etc.?"

Lie Wen said: "There is no requirement, as long as it is in the city of Hess, as for how much to buy? How much gold coins the Andrew family sells these assets will be used to buy, as much as you can buy. There is only one thing, and it must be completed within two years."

Walter felt that his professionalism had been greatly challenged, and he tried his best to control his expression to look calm. He was no longer going to guess what Li Wen was thinking, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Okay, our Dawson Chamber of Commerce will definitely satisfy Lord Viscount."

After a brief chat between the two, Walt said goodbye and left.

Lie Wen drank warm black tea and looked at the list of assets of the Andrew family.

The reason why he wanted to sell his assets was to avoid the day of destruction three years later.

This year is the 9997 year of the Yulan calendar. According to the memory of the novel in the previous life, on January 10000st of the 1 year of the Yulan calendar, the city of Finlay will be destroyed.

The monsters in the Warcraft Mountains, led by a god-level monster, launched a wave of beasts and occupied one-third of the territory of the Holy Alliance.

At that time, the Kingdom of Finlay, the Kingdom of Hamm, and several duchies will be occupied by monsters, and the Holy Alliance finally blocked the attack of monsters in the city of Hess.

The kingdom of Finlay perished in the day of destruction, and the prosperous city of Finlay became the territory of monsters.

People are gone, and hotels, shops, and mansions are naturally worthless. Lie Wen wants to cash in now.

As for the mansion in Hess City, it was because under the attack of the monsters, the nobles from the Kingdom of Finlay, the Kingdom of Hamm and several duchies would flee to Hess City. At that time, the price of the mansion would skyrocket several times.

Lie Wen buys in advance now, and can make a lot of money by then.

After settling the property matter, Lie Wen practiced in the mansion with peace of mind, living in seclusion every day.

While cultivating battle qi, he comprehended the law of light.

He had already stopped taking medicinal baths and physical training. His pure physical strength was already comparable to a sixth-level fighter, the pinnacle of an ordinary person.

Ordinary people purely cultivate the body, without the blessing of battle qi, they can only reach the level of sixth-level fighters. Only a very small number of talented people can reach seventh-level fighters. As for eighth-level fighters, only the blood of the four ultimate fighters can reach it.
