"Young master, you don't have to suffer again. It's all over." The elderly man announced, trying to hide his watery eyes.

He recognized their family butler that had served as a father figure to him right after the death of his parents and his heart was flooded with a mix of emotions.

Clinton's face was flushed. The constant hardship that was weighing his shoulders almost made him forget his identity as the super heir of the Dragon West Group. 

The group that had been rumored to pull down a nation in the past. But how come their heir live such a life?

Seven years ago, right after the death of his biological parents, he was sent away from the city in the east to start a new life. Something that was called a poverty program.

If he was able to complete the program alive, he would be able to gain wealth that was beyond the wildest imagination.

"I wish that I had been able to help, however, there was nothing that I could do." He said.

Clinton nodded his head. He had done more than enough already. He would never break the family rule.

However, he had seen the way that Rosa had always longed for the position of the queen and wanted to help her. 

He had not only gone out of his way to seek help, he had even dragged someone else into it. Blinded by his love, he didn't even think about the consequences of his actions. What if he had been caught? 

Clinton's hands were clenched. He quickly pushed the thoughts off from his head. There was no need to think about her now since it was already all over.

He walked forward and hugged the old man tightly, his eyes were filled with the emotions that were trying to surge out but his wit was able to withhold them.

"I have missed you a lot!" Clinton said parting slowly.

"You have grown into a fine young man. I am sure that your parents would be more than proud if they get to see you again." Uncle ping's smile dried out at the end of it, knowing that he had said something that was totally wrong out of his excitement..

The death Of Clinton's pretends carried a lot of miseries. One that he should not know about at the moment.

He drew a really deep breath, rather for the next question that was going to come after him with closed eyes.

"Are you going to tell me about my parents now?" Clinton inquired with a long face that made him smile.

"I'm sorry."

Right from the first day, Clinton could tell that there was something wrong about his parents death but he could not pinpoint it 

His heart fell to the bottom of his feet after he heard these words of rejection once again. But as he had been told earlier, these were his father's orders and he knew Ping too well to disobey them.

Clinton signed.

"Not just yet. There is one more little task that you need to accomplish. But I assure you that you are closer to getting what you want." He assured

 He brought out the card from his pockets with a slight bow before he turned around towards him and said.

Clinton recognized the card almost instantly. It was a purple card and this card held nothing less than 50 billion Dollars. That was the first reward that he was going to get from his family.

While his eyes remained far apart with shocks, Uncle Ping didn't seem to be impressed that much.

"The Dragon's family has always been known to be cruel." He whispered to himself.

"This card holds fifty billion dollars." He began with a soft sigh and Clinton gasped when he heard these words. Was this the figure that his Uncle just associated with a group of people being Cruel and stingy?

Clinton thought that he had heard wrong. Or maybe his poverty training has changed a whole lot of perspectives for him.

"Young master. That amount might be little but I promise that there is already a surprise coming in for you. However, it's not properly set out yet so I am afraid that you would have to wait for a few more days." There was a sorry look on his face as he spoke.

"Don't worry Uncle Ping. This is more than enough already."

As much as they wanted to speed the evening together, he already knew that it would be time for him to leave.

"And before I leave Young master. The family wants you to get a fiance." Uncle Ping informed them before he left.

"And they want you to get it as soon as possible." There was a sense of rising urgency to his voice as he spoke and he was finally off.

Knowing that Clinton could not see his face anymore, he sighed deeply and there was a sad look on his face.

"Clinton, I really wished that we could catch up more but I am just trying to buy you time before they come for your own life." Ping whispered to himself and with these words, he was off already.

Clinton's heart was split almost instantly.. How was he going to get someone to like him so fast?

His mind subconsciousness drew out a list of people for him. But he had never thought of these people as someone that he would have to date. The only person... There is no need to even think about it. He scraped the thoughts off his head.

Clinton stared at the card in his hands and he smiled clutching on it firmly. He had already passed a test once. This meant nothing and he was sure he would be able to do it once again.

Thinking about girls, his mind traveled to someone. Lisa. The girl that had always helped him out.

They meant on the street with her little brother and they would pick trash together to resell until they eventually became a family.

Clinton still goes there when he is free from classes. But this time, he wasn't going to eat her meal, but get her the best meal in the city.

The thoughts of it alone were enough to make a broad smile hover way above his face as he thought about this.

The cars that buzzed to and fro the place were classic and the people that were stormed off showed that this place was somewhere that he didn't belong.

Clinton ignored the gazes of the people who were piercing at him from behind and continued to walk towards the table.

A girl that had already gotten her order wasn't looking properly and they accidentally bumped into each other, hitting her head almost instantly.

Her pale skin flushed red with the fury that boiled in her looking at how poorly the young man was dressed.

"Have you gone mad?" She growled in all her spite. 

It was difficult to believe that someone like this would walk into such a place in the first place.

"Please, I'm sorry." Clinton apologized even though the fault was from both of them.

"Sorry? Do you think that's going to get my dress fixed and get me back my meal?" She grunted her teeth angrily.

The commotion between them had already brought about one of the waiters who were working in the place.

Just a single glance at Clinton and his poor dress made the disdain swell on her. 

What would someone of that caliber be doing there in the first place? However, because there were a lot of customers streaming into the place, she could not tell him publicly.

Though her astonishment knew no bounds, she had to keep herself down and she inquired calmly with a failed attempt to hide her disdain.

"Do you have a membership card, sir?" She inquired.

"No, I don't," Clinton replied calmly.

"You don't even have a membership card and you dare to walk into such a high-end place? Do you think that this is a regular restaurant that slums like you can just visit and walk out of?" She snorted angrily.

Clinton ignored her statement. 

With her phone making a buzzing sound, she turned around towards the waiter. It looked like she had just received an urgent call and would have to leave immediately.

"Miss. Make sure that this bitch is punished severely and thrown out." She flared before finally walking away.

"But I can purchase one," Clinton added now that he would be given enough space to speak.

The waiter could not bear the burden of saying any more words. She led him over to the receptionist's table and inquired.

"Card or Transfer?" She said lightly.

There was a line of people who were already frowning because they had been bypassed so that this person would be attended to.

"Card?" Clinton with a monosyllabic snort brought the card from his pockets and handed it over to her.

It was sleek and it suddenly caused ripples down her skin almost instantly...She was fast to look at it but her demeanor fell almost in an instant.

"I meant card." She could not address this young man with the word say anymore.

"And you should be holding it right now?" Clinton's eyes farrowed.

The words instantly tore out the frown that she had been trying to conceal as she could not stand it anymore and she sneered.

"You call this piece of metal crap a card? Do I look like a joke to you?" She flushed angrily, flinging it off angrily to the floor while the others peeked at it with disdain.

    “Your Highness, this is the tube used for blowing glass.”While the materials were being heated, Chen Qi handed Xiao Ming a ceramic tube.Once the glass liquid was formed, if one wanted to shape the glass, blowing would be required.In fact, this was the most critical part of glass production. Because the temperature of the glass liquid was so high, and Xiao Ming didn’t have heat-resistant alloy tubes, he had to use a clay-fired ceramic tube. After all, he couldn’t even produce a seamless steel tube at this stage.On either side of the regenerator, craftsmen took turns operating the bellows, blowing the heat from the coal in the regenerator into the furnace. After waiting for an hour, Xiao Ming instructed the craftsmen to open the furnace lid.Instantly, a wave of heat surged out of the furnace, causing the craftsman to jump back in alarm. Once he regained his composure, he slowly approached the furnace and saw the red, molten liquid inside.He said, “Your Highness, the materials insi

    Your Highness… this commoner is willing!”Fan Zeng was visibly excited. He had lived an unremarkable life and never imagined that such an opportunity would come to him in his later years. If he didn’t seize this chance now, when would he ever get another?“Good. The newspaper office in Bowen Academy will be completed by the end of the month. Although it will be somewhat rudimentary, it will be ready for use by then. You can start selecting the staff for the newspaper office now. Here is a document outlining the structure of the newspaper office. Take it back and review it.”After saying this, Xiao Ming instructed Luluo to fetch a manuscript from his chambers. This document was Xiao Ming’s blueprint for the newspaper office, based on modern newspaper organizations but adapted to the realities of the Great Yu Empire.Once the newspaper office was established, the newspaper delivery boys would no longer exist. Instead, they would be renamed “reporters.” However, these reporters would not

    At the command headquarters, Xiao Ming showed Pang Yukun the information he had received the previous night. The issue of the village heads also made Pang Yukun frown.There were many villages within the six prefectures, and the number of village heads was equally large. While not every village head was connected to the powerful families, the previous night’s events suggested that at least thirty percent of them were.“Your Highness, supporting a new village head is one solution, but what if the two village heads collude? Wouldn’t that make things worse?” Pang Yukun expressed his concern.Xiao Ming had also been pondering this issue, which was why he had come to discuss it with Pang Yukun in the morning. He said, “That’s why I want to establish an organization similar to the government office in each village. This organization will be called the ‘commune,’ and the production teams will be under its jurisdiction. The commune, in turn, will be managed by the county magistrate. This will

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENPing’s voice was very low, but it was enough to convince Clinton who was instantly reminded of what was at hand.He took a deep breath, his gaze switching back to the lady.He said nothing at first, but the old man was able to see through his worrisome stare.“Don’t worry, Young Master. She will be well protected. We also have stewards who will make sure that she gets whatever she desires.” He assured, causing Clinton to nod in satisfaction.“Take care of yourself, Sharon.” He said as soon as he returned his gaze to the lady, holding onto his smile.Shifting his gaze to Kyrian, he gave him a warning with his eyes, causing him to look away at once.“Let’s go.” Clinton walked away, and Ping wasted no time in following him at once.Sarah staggered through her first two steps because she was in a hurry to catch up with them, and before long they were already inside the two cars they left.Clinton felt the uneasiness that gripped him, and because it was too hard for hi

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXKyrian wished that he didn’t have to obey Clinton, but there was no other option for him.He nodded reluctantly, and swallowing his pride, he adjusted the outfit he was holding, inching closer to Clinton.While Lailah watched him, she prayed silently that it was not going to be the last day she was going to be employed, and the only reason why she was silent was that she knew it was futile to speak.“All done.” Kyrian nodded as soon as he was done, staring at Clinton just to be sure that he had done well.Clinton looked at himself in the mirror that one of the guards had placed in front of him, and for the first time, he looked like a proper gentleman.He couldn’t hide his smile even if he wanted to, his eyes looking particularly at the jacket that seemed like it had been tailored particularly for him, using his measurements.He chuckled softly, turning to Kyrian who sighed for the umpteenth time, but the moment Clinton switched into a glare, he was forced to get ri
