When Lucien left the Zhang family mansion, he took the shortest route home, which was at least a five-hour walk. With no vehicles available in this era, he had a long way to trek since he didn't have the option to hire a horse-drawn carriage because he had no gold coins to do so. Lucien decided to enjoy the view of the ancient kingdoms, which was a far cry from the bustling streets of the modern world he was used to.As he walked, the scenery unfolded like the one he always watched in movies; Rolling hills, ancient stone buildings, and people going about their daily lives created a sense of peace and quiet. As Lucien enjoyed the views, he wondered what it would be like if he suddenly introduced modern technology in this era. It would make him the wealthiest and most powerful person who ever lived. The thought of this made him grin wide.The road eventually led him to the woods, with small footpaths to follow. The trees grew taller and closer together, casting dappled shadows on the

Minutes later, Lucien emerged through the door from the backyard, a piece of fabric in his hand. Mr. Chao took it and was astonished. "This fabric is indeed brighter than the other," he remarked, his eyes wide with wonder."Prepare the two thousand gold coins," Mr. Chao instructed his servants."Yes, sir," they replied in unison, hurrying off to fulfill the request.Once the coins were brought forth, Mr. Chao turned to Lucien. "Now, please share the formula with me.""Of course," Lucien said, revealing the secret to creating the golden yellow fabric. "I wish you the best in overtaking the Zhang Company in the fabric business."Mr. Chao nodded, intrigued by the formula. "Verify this formula," he told his head staff.Thirty minutes later, the staff member returned with a new piece of fabric. "It's successful, sir. The fabric turned out perfectly."Mr. Chao smiled, satisfied. "Thank you, Lucien. Here's your payment." He handed Lucien the box of gold coins.Just as Lucien was about to lea

In the council hall of the Mystical Turtle Count's mansion, Jasmine Yuan stood before her parents, dressed in casual attire, paying her respects. Her parents, Mythical Turtle King Jean and Mythical Turtle Queen Sophia, sat on the stage, their expressions serious."Has the martial demonstration gone well, Jasmine?" King Jean asked, his voice firm.Jasmine Yuan saluted with a fist. "Yes, Father. The demonstration went well, and we did not disgrace the Yuan family. "Our family is in a tough spot because my brother isn't capable of handling things, and on top of that, the Empire is taking away some of the powers and privileges that noble families like ours used to have."King Jean's expression turned grave. "Alas, but unfortunately, your brother Jake Yuan is incompetent. I'm worried about our family's future."Jasmine Yuan's voice was resolute. "Please rest assured, Father. With your daughter here, our Mystical Turtle kingdom's mansion will not fall. I will remain unmarried for life, sta

In The Chao Mansion, a group of three sat in a meeting. The head of the Chao family sat in stunned silence, his eyes wide with disbelief. "It's impossible, absolutely impossible," he muttered, shaking his head. "Lucien Feng is notorious for being worthless. Does the King's Mansion have no regard for their reputation?" Drew Pin Yin turned to Master Zhang, his brow furrowed with concern. "Did Lord King mention who the groom is when he suddenly sent out wedding invitations today?" The head of the Zhang family shook his head, his expression grim. "No, but it absolutely cannot be Lucien Feng. Even if the sun rose from the west, it wouldn't be possible." Drew Pin Yin's eyes narrowed. "I've received an invitation to the wedding tonight. I'll go and see for myself if the King's Mansion son-in-law is truly Lucien Feng. We better prepare in advance." He stood up, determination etched on his face. "I'll also go, though I don't have an invitation. The Mystical Turtle City King surely won't tu
