Chapter 1402: Submission After Consideration Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios However, he did not know if Lin Yuan’s Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts came from an auction or a Class 4 Creation Master. Judging from Lin Yuan’s extravagant attire, Zhang Tong felt that the latter possibility was also likely. The Great Lush Federation’s secret elite families all invested a bomb into their Creation Masters. Currently, Zhang Tong was scared yet excited. The Zhang family and Jian family’s collaboration was mutually beneficial, while working with Lin Yuan would be like living under the thumb of an enormous dragon. With the Jian family, it was possible for them to escape unscathed. But with Lin Yuan, they ran the risk of being crushed to pieces. But only a dragon like Lin Yuan could lead the Zhang family toward a bright future. While Zhang Tong’s mind was swirling with thoughts, Lin Yuan said, “I don’t have much use for Class 3 Creation Masters. Compared to the Zhang family’s individual strength, I’m more interested in the power you hold over Phoebe Zhennan City.” Zhang Tong froze. He knew that Lin Yuan was being serious. He clearly expressed his lack of interest in the Zhang family’s Creation Master resources and declared what he was truly interested in. Zhang Tong resolutely said, “In Phoebe Zhennan City, our family is the strongest. The other four Class 2 Creation Master families have no choice but to admire us from a distance. To tell you the truth, my family is planning on using Phoebe Zhennan City’s resources next month to devour the other four Class 2 Creation Master resources. “The Huang family is connected to us by marriage and has been siding with us for a long time. We have been intending to take out the Meng family, Li family, and Luo family since a long time ago. But since Luo Ya is your acquaintance, we have decided to spare them—” Zhang Tong was about to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by Ji Feng. “Our Young Master isn’t interested in this trivial benefit. Since you’re aware that our Young Master is on good terms with the Luo family, what makes you think that he will work with you instead of helping the Luo family? If our Young Master wanted, he could give Luo De a pinnacle Diamond fey that will be able to give your Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm a run for its money. It would even be child’s play for him to give the Luo family a Class 4 Creation Master. “In order to capture loyalty, the Zhang family is choosing to swallow the other Class 2 Creation Master families instead of working with them. I’m sure that as the Young Leader of the Zhang family, you are aware of what our Young Master is after.” Zhang Tong was stunned into silence by what Ji Feng said. He believed Lin Yuan could give Luo De a pinnacle Diamond fey tonight if he wanted to. However, it was too shocking for him to be able to give the Luo family a Class 4 Creation Master. Class 4 Creation Masters were almost like gods. Why did he make them seem like such a lowly commodity? Zhang Tong glanced at Jian Li, who was deep in discussion with Zhang Zhen, before steeling his heart and saying to Lin Yuan in a sincere tone, “Young Master Lin, my father told me before the banquet that I have the authority to make decisions for the Zhang family. We will submit to you.” Luo Ya, who had been keeping a close watch on Lin Yuan, walked over with a glass of wine in her hand and whispered to him, “Lin Yuan, if you trust me, I can help you keep watch over the Zhang family.” Luo Ya had described the distribution of power to Lin Yuan. However, only the Zhang, Huang, and Luo families were in attendance at tonight’s banquet. It turned out that it was because the Zhang family was planning on targeting the other two families and had already excluded them. Lin Yuan did trust Luo Ya to a certain extent. If she represented the Luo family in watching over the Zhang family, the two families would be able to keep watch and control each other. This would enable Lin Yuan to easily keep Phoebe Zhennan City in the palm of his hand. Lin Yuan tossed Luo Ya and Zhang Tong one of the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts each. The two of them were overjoyed when they caught the Item-Storing Walnuts. However, their joy stemmed from different reasons. Neither of them was happy over the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut’s value. Zhang Tong was happy because Lin Yuan would be able to carry the Zhang family to new heights, while Luo Ya was happy that she was touching something that had been in Lin Yuan’s hand. She was going to treasure the Item-Storing Walnut for the rest of her life. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 Lin Yuan said to Zhang Tong and Luo Ya, “Once you’re done organizing Phoebe Zhennan City, I will complete your pair of Item-Storing Walnuts. I will try my best to get a chamber of commerce to set up a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City. For now, the two of you can continue to do what you’ve been doing.” Lin Yuan turned and left the banquet with Liu Jie and Ji Feng. A smile spread across his face as he looked into the night sky. From now on, he would essentially own the entire Phoebe Zhennan City. On their way back to the treehouse, Ji Feng’s eyes flashed, and he said to Lin Yuan, “Young Master, the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus has found the person you asked for. According to your instruction, the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus has been secretly watching her and has not made contact. She is currently eating rotting fruits she fished out from a trash bin. She is covered in scratches, and it looks like one of her legs is broken. Her soul injury has been triggered twice in the past hour.” This reminded Ji Feng of how he used to be. This person was in the exact situation he had been in. However, he had a much better time in the Radiance Federation than she was having in the Divine Wood Federation. Lin Yuan had expected Su Yiren to be in such a pathetic state. The ordinary citizens of the Divine Wood Federation already led tough lives, much less Su Yiren, who was essentially a refugee. After tonight, Lin Yuan would be heading to Oak City tomorrow morning. Since the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus had already found Su Yiren, he did not need to call her. Tomorrow, he would be meeting with a Dark Envoy in all her supposed glory. In the treehouse, Lin Yuan felt extremely content at first. But as the night progressed, the water vapor produced by the plants created a very humid environment inside the treehouse. Lin Yuan had no choice but to release Dark Blue and use it to control the humidity so the environment would become dry again. After this first night in a treehouse, Lin Yuan swore that there would not be a second. The next day, after eating a breakfast prepared by Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Ji Feng prepared to head to Oak City. This time, Lin Yuan did not summon Blackie. Instead, Liu Jie and Ji Feng entered the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad. The Hurricane Owlet Moths had already set up the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacles along the road to Oak City. These tentacles would become Tentacle Nodes that Lin Yuan could use to transport himself to and from Oak City in a short span of time.
