Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

In Lawrence's basement, mountains of antique treasures passed down through generations of his family are piled up.

You can easily earn tens of millions of Mora by selling any treasure to foreign merchants, and if you're lucky, you can even sell it for hundreds of millions.

Most of the buyers were wealthy merchants from Liyue who were not short of money at all.

This creates a virtuous cycle of mutual benefit for both parties.

This is also why Lawrence is able to maintain the expenses of a large family and even plans to recruit more members.

With financial support, Schubert seemed more confident.

Because money can solve the vast majority of problems in the world.

He was determined to bring Yura back to the family within a week, and he could not let the clan leader down.

"Oh no! Something terrible has happened! Our deal has been canceled!"

Just then, a clansman rushed into the main hall, interrupting Schubert's thoughts.

"There was supposed to be a transaction tonight, with a wealthy merchant from Liyue buying our antiques."

"I don't know what happened, but it's as if those wealthy businessmen had planned it in advance; they all canceled today's transactions."

"Those buyers also said that they would never have anything to do with the Lawrence family again."

"Even if the Lawrence family gave away the antiques for free, they wouldn't accept them..."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, clearly unprepared for this sudden turn of events.

The Lawrence family has long maintained an extremely stable working relationship with the buyers.

Something must have happened to cause the buyers to break off their cooperation and rush to sever ties with Lawrence.

Schubert's expression was solemn; he vaguely sensed that Lawrence was currently caught in a dark current.

Upon closer reflection, most antique dealers are from Liyue, and Fang Xun is also from Liyue.

Is there some kind of connection between them?

Schubert dared not think any further; his eyes twitched with unease.

I always feel like there's an invisible hand pulling me along.

Schubert's guess was correct; while Lawrence was plotting something, Fang Xun had already taken the initiative.

Because Fang Xun's name already has a certain degree of recognition in Liyue.

Therefore, when Fang Xun stated that he was at odds with the Lawrence family,

After weighing the pros and cons, the wealthy merchants of Liyue ultimately chose to side with Fang Xun and immediately distanced themselves from the Lawrence family.

Occasionally, there will be situations where people waver, and at these times Fang Xun will use his financial power.

The saying "money can solve most of the world's problems" applies equally to Fang Xun.

The difference is that Fang Xun is richer than the Lawrence family.

Sorry, having money really does mean you can do whatever you want.jpg

Fang Xun's personal intervention undoubtedly disrupted the Lawrence family's 'balance'.

Lawrence was able to support such a large family because he had both income and expenses.

Now that the business has failed, it's a situation where there's only spending and no income, with expenses alone amounting to a huge sum.

The longer time goes on, the more the Lawrence family will decline.

Of course, Lawrence could also look for a new buyer.

But finding a new buyer is easier said than done; antiques worth millions are not something the average person can afford.

Aside from the wealthy merchants of Liyue, there are very few people interested in the Lawrence family's antiques.

"Hey, everyone's busy, huh?"

Just as the Lawrence family was in chaos, a deep male voice came from outside the door.

"You are... from the Knights of Favonius?"

Looking at Uncle Ann and the group of Knights of Favonius, the Lawrence family's faces immediately turned extremely gloomy.

Apart from Yura, none of Lawrence had any goodwill towards the Knights of Favonius.

If it weren't for the Knights of Favonius, the Lawrence family wouldn't have fallen into such a state of decline.

Schubert scrutinized Uncle Ann, his eyes full of suspicion: "What are you doing here? To laugh at us?"

"It's not fair to call it laughing at people; being pulled into overtime before dinner is quite a nuisance."

Uncle An spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.

Because the Knights of Favonius were short-handed during the holiday, he, as a scout knight, had to temporarily take on other jobs.

"Schubert Lawrence, you are suspected of purchasing large quantities of illegal weapons, endangering the personal safety of the people of Mondstadt..."

"Please come with us for questioning."

Uncle An spoke in a calm tone, but his attitude was exceptionally firm.

He immediately ordered two Zephyr Knights to arrest Schubert.

"Let me go! You lowly commoners have no right to touch nobles!"

Schubert struggled fiercely, consumed by rage.

The two Zephyr Knights exchanged a glance, not wanting to tolerate someone like Schubert, and directly used force to control him.

"He's clearly going to jail, yet he still dares to act all high and mighty. I don't know what he's thinking."

"Schubert, I advise you to behave yourself, or you're very likely to have another charge added to your list."

The two Knights of Favonius shouted sternly and quickly took Schubert away.

During this process, the Lawrence family members all looked very unhappy.

Several young men gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, wanting to rush forward to save Schubert, but the clan chief stopped them.

Uncle Ann brought a group of Knights of Favonius, clearly indicating that he had come prepared.

If anyone resists during the process, then it won't just be Schubert who gets arrested.

Uncle An looked around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Patriarch Lawrence.

The two remained silent, but a tense atmosphere hung in the air, as if a sword were about to be drawn.

Uncle An smiled, then turned and left without looking back.

Only after the Knights of Favonius left did the Lawrence family begin to hurl insults.

"It's too much to bully others, it's really too much to bully others!"

"First they cut off our family's financial support, then they imprisoned Schubert,"

"Does that stranger named Fang Xun really think the Lawrence family is a pushover?"

"He's declaring war on the Lawrence family!"

After experiencing the antique incident and Schubert's arrest, Lawrence and the others realized that Fang Xun was behind it all.

The hot-tempered young man could no longer control his emotions and exploded at that moment.

Now, they only have one thing on their minds: to find Fang Xun and take revenge.

"So what if he has seven elemental powers? Every human has weaknesses!"

“That’s right, we can’t let an outsider suppress our Lawrence family like this!”

"With so many of us, surely we can't beat him alone?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, another sound came from the doorway.

This time, all that could be heard from outside the door was the barking of dogs.

The group quickly walked out the door and saw a Shiba Inu sitting in the doorway.

At that moment, Taromaru had a letter dangling from his mouth.

Upon seeing Lawrence's men approaching, it immediately placed the letter on the ground and nudged it with its nose, indicating that the Lawrence family members should open and examine it.

The Lawrence family found it strange, but someone still picked up the letter from the ground.

Upon opening it, there was a short sentence written on it.

Happy Flower Festival, Fang Xunliu.

When the entire Lawrence family saw this sentence, they were furious.

Their business was ruined by Fang Xun, and Schubert was also arrested.

As a result, Fang Xun was still here wishing them happiness.

Isn't this just typical behavior of a shrew?

The younger members of the Lawrence family were not about to swallow this insult and decided to go after Fang Xun in a fight to the death.

Taromaru sensed something was wrong, immediately drew his katana, put it in his mouth, and looked warily at Lawrence and the others.

The meaning is quite clear: if you want to find Fang Xun, you have to get past this hurdle first.

However, the self-important Lawrence family didn't take Taromaru seriously at all; could a dog really stop the wrath of a nobleman?

Soon, the Lawrence family, who had underestimated their opponent, were utterly defeated by Taro Maru's dog, falling to the ground and groaning in pain.

Fang Xun used a three-pronged attack on the Lawrence family, a powerful move that not only killed them but also wounded their spirit.

This directly shattered the morale of the Lawrence family.

The Lawrence family is no longer thinking about revenge or regaining control of Mondstadt.

Forget about seeking revenge on Fang Xun; the entire family combined couldn't even beat a dog. They might as well just give up and go to sleep.

Chapter 421 Wendy: How can you come to eat empty-handed?

"Eating at such a high-end restaurant must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Mr. Fang Xun, you've really gone to great lengths tonight."
