Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity

Chapter 593 - 189: Farewell, My Father

Can I really choke myself to death?

Unfortunately, it all shattered in the end.

But speaking of which, even if he had that much money to spend, Jiang Si still couldn’t think of how to spend it, since he really didn’t need that much money.

He would keep a bit as pocket money, but the rest should still be left to Bingtang to manage; expanding the Cyan Cloud Sect was a bit more meaningful.

Bingtang is best at making money grow, while he’d only breed maggots with money.

Ever since three years ago, Bingtang has been able to develop the Cyan Cloud Sect under the Disaster Strategy Bureau’s nose using legitimate means without attracting their attention, balancing expenses and income until the sect started making a profit.

At that time, Bingtang was only thirteen.

They had just become Magical Girls and hadn’t even reached the New Seedling Stage. Although they could poach people from the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau, Jiang Si, having witnessed Cui Que’s power, knew that if they truly provoked the main office, the Cyan Cloud Sect couldn’t possibly develop.

Even with exceptional talent, facing the deep roots of a millennia-old organization, time was necessary.

Don’t you see how the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor once fled east and west under the oppression of large organizations?

Only when Jiang Si stepped into the New Seedling Stage did the Cyan Cloud Sect finally have some confidence to start operating openly.

Two years ago, Jiang Si had not yet reached the Peak of Full Bloom Great Perfection in strength, and Zi Yuan’s strength only broke through to the peak last year and began to enter a bottleneck period.

During the time when the Cyan Cloud Sect’s combat power was severely lacking, Bingtang had already recruited many disciples willing to join and opened many legitimate businesses for the sect.

By the time the Cyan Cloud Sect silently developed into a profitable organization under the Disaster Strategy Bureau’s watchful eyes,

Bingtang had just turned fourteen, just in junior high.

While the Beihai Witch Association used various illegal means to acquire funds and was targeted and severely cracked down upon by the Disaster Strategy Bureau,

the Cyan Cloud Sect had already developed into the backbone of Beihai.

Though legitimate means progress slower, they are more stable. Cyan Cloud Sect developed through legitimate methods, not only winning the people’s support but also benefiting mutually with other businesses, without needing any military threat or showcasing any power.

Nowadays, any business Cyan Cloud Sect wishes to undertake, many companies in Beihai and even East China are willing to cooperate.

The Disaster Strategy Bureau has no grounds to make things difficult, as all the Cyan Cloud Sect’s revenue sources are legal, which is the reason there was no resistance when the Bureau and the Sect officially announced their collaboration.

Cyan Cloud Sect never needed to resort to forcefully taking money from other companies, nor did it ever behave like the Witch Association, which led many companies to bankruptcy, large numbers of employees losing jobs, and forcing people into desperation.

Jiang Si claims that the Cyan Cloud Sect is the leader of the Righteous Path with full confidence.

Even standing before the ancestors of the Cyan Cloud Sect, he can proudly say, "My Cyan Cloud Sect has no shame in facing the world!"

"I, Jiang Si, have spent a lifetime only executing evil and eradicating wickedness; I walk the path of a clear conscience."

Precisely because he knows how difficult this journey has been, Jiang Si is actually reluctant to easily use the Cyan Cloud Sect’s assets.

He’s not really lacking money; if he truly were in dire need, like when his younger sister needed tuition, he could naturally take it from the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Even Bingtang, for the sake of the Sect Leader’s dignity, would settle it proactively if there came a time of need, sparing him the embarrassment of asking for money.

Earning money through the Holy Hall is really to fund his random ideas, such as alchemy or crafting—knowing that there’s a high chance it would go to waste, using the Cyan Cloud Sect’s money would be a psychological burden, but using money from the Holy Hall wouldn’t matter.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Si withdrew his left hand, which had been caressing a three-hundred-thousand-bank card, and tidied up the dishes.

Before he could wash them, Keke ran over and volunteered to wash both their dishes, "You cook, I wash; next time, I’ll cook, and you wash."

"Alright."

After returning to his room, he originally planned to refine some medicine.

He saw that there was a message on the crystal ball.

"Lord Si Motu! You said to get as much potion as possible, and I’ve got you a ton! Isn’t Xilan awesome, Lord Si Motu!"

Jiang Si took a closer look to confirm that the unit was correct.

"A ton? Where did you get the money?"

"Reporting to Lord Si Motu! It’s a loan; I took out a loan!"

"How much was the loan?"

"Don’t worry, Lord Si Motu, only eighty million! The seller said since it was someone of your legendary status making the purchase, they gave me, Xilan, ’internal price,’ ’cost price,’ and ’wholesale price,’ dozens of times cheaper than retail!"

"Even for just a fifty-million deposit, we could take a ton of Witch Potion, with an additional discount for you, a full 20% off, it’s a massive win, Lord Si Motu!"

Considering Xilan’s credit history, obtaining a loan logically would be a foolish dream.

Jiang Si furrowed his brows, "Who issued you the loan?"

"It was the great His Highness the Prince, Lord Si Motu! She’s truly kind, helped us with the process, and without you, Lord Si Motu, it was hard to secure the loan normally, but she managed it somehow!"

"Your account with the Witch Association has been activated with an eighty-million limit, and the quick approval window has successfully started; the loan went through! Now we only lack fifty million, Lord Si Motu! As long as you nod, we can secure it, but act fast!"

The missing fifty million is the real issue!

Jiang Si looked at the fragmented Black Gold Card in his hand, "Contact His Highness the Prince for me; I have something to discuss with her."

"Okay! But it might take several days..."

...

Inside the Ice Era Group building.

A middle-aged man sitting in the office looked at phone after phone, expressionless.
