The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 61-65

Chapter 61: Snow Fox

No matter if it was the restaurant or equipment shop, business was booming. Zhao Fu was naturally quite happy to see money flow into his pockets like water flowing through a river.

At the same time, he caught the attention of a few large families and factions. There were 6 large families in the Forest of Horrors, and they all wanted to make the Forest of Horrors the base for their development.

Because everyone was sent to random places in the Heaven Awaken World, the large families could only gather small groups of people in the Forest of Horrors, while their remaining forces would settle wherever they had been spawned, with the family's main development being in the Forest of Horrors. They all chose this place for different reasons: some thought that the competition would be weaker here, others thought that it would be a good place to develop, and others were here because the successors of their families had been spawned here.

These 6 large families were the Jiang family, Zhang family, Cao family, Yan family, Hua family, and Zhou family.

There were also 3 large factions created by players: the Holy Light Group, Soldier Alliance, and Demon Tree Gang. Based on their names, they seemed to be the largest factions in each of the 3 main cities. There were also some smaller factions that weren't worth mentioning.

Some of these factions were created by large financial groups working together in the real world, while others were formed purely by friends meeting in the Heaven Awaken World. Others were formed by a group of thugs led by an ambitious boss.

Before, they had taken the rumor hinting that Zhao Fu was a Legatee as a joke, but they now started to have suspicions. Putting aside whether Zhao Fu really was a Legatee or not, it was clear how powerful he was by the fact that he had such an abundance of Blue grade equipment that he would sell them, and he even possessed Silver grade equipment and Refined Martial Souls.

Even though opening 2 shops seemed quite simple, Zhao Fu had become a great threat.

...............................

In the real world, Zhou Jie was kicked to the ground by his father. "You unfilial son, all you do is make trouble for me. Look at what you've done - we can't tell how powerful the man you angered is!"

Nearby was a young man who was a few years older than Zhou Jie. He was the Zhou family's Eldest Young Master Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming watched his little brother be kicked a few times before walking over and pleading on his behalf, "Father, that should be enough. Little Jie has learned his lesson, and the situation is not as bad as you think. We have not developed irreconcilable hatred with that person, and now is the time for us to be developing our forces. The Jiang family has already obtained a shop, and they have been earning at least 20 gold coins per day just from selling clothes."

Zhou Shizhi coldly harrumphed and stopped kicking his son. Following this, he started to discuss some matters with Zhou Ming. Zhou Jie's face was ashen as he slowly raised his head and looked at his father and elder brother with a trace of hatred in his heart.

Elsewhere, Zhao Fu was standing in front of the equipment store and hanging up a sign that requested for materials of Silver grade or above. Anyone who provided such materials would be able to trade them for items from within the shop. Right now, Zhao Fu did not lack Blue grade equipment at all, but he didn't have many pieces of Silver grade equipment.

Right now, there were five Grey Dwarves in Rhode Village who could forge Silver grade equipment. Because Wang Dawu, the Great Qin Village's Blacksmith, had not forged for as long as them, he was only at the boundary of being able to forge Silver grade equipment.
