If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

“We don’t have any money left in our family!” Ruth retorted instinctively.

At this moment, Tan Ning quickly pulled Ruth back, stopping her from speaking further, while also smiling apologetically at Cohen:

"Uncle Cohen, I know what you mean. I'll go home and raise the money right now."

Cohen didn't respond to this, but just waved his hand, signaling them to hurry up and raise the money.

Seeing this, Tan Ning quickly grabbed Ruth and fled from the military police station as if they were fleeing a disaster.

At this moment, a civilian staff member of the military police walked over and said with a puzzled look:

"Cohen, who did you just ask them to bail out?"

“Jackson?”

"Wasn't that person's case, along with the doll he used to deceive us, taken away by the City Lord's 'Vermilion Scale Brigade'?"

Upon hearing this, Cohen silently raised his index finger to his lips.

Seeing this, the office worker fell silent.

Cohen, however, after a moment of silence, calmly said:

"It's alright, they'll be brought back by other military police soon."

Upon hearing this, the colleague standing nearby gave a strange look.

They sent him out and then brought him back? There's clearly something funny going on here!!

-----------------

Zijinhua Street.

As Ruth stepped off the railcar, she muttered under her breath:

"Damn Jeken, I told you long ago to take care of that imposter quickly, but he just kept dragging his feet. Now look what happened, he's caused trouble!"

Seeing this, Tan Ning immediately fell silent and instead chimed in:

"Yeah, dad is too cowardly. If we had solved it earlier, things wouldn't be like this."

Seeing this, Tan Ning completely forgot that she had also agreed with Jeken back then, just as she had agreed when Jeken suggested killing the real Lynn and seizing the family property.

After all, while she had the courage to take action, she always wanted the safest and easiest way.

For example, if Jack takes action to seize the family property, won't she get a share of all the money he gets?

Tan Ning was naturally happy to accept such a good deal: he didn't have to commit murder or arson, yet he still received a share of the profits.

Now that Jeken, who made the move, has gone in, Tan Ning is actually quite relieved.

I'm glad I just went along with it and didn't take action; that's how I escaped this predicament.

"Your dad is just too honest!"

"That's it!"

After agreeing, Tan Ning couldn't help but ask again:

"Mom, do we really need to start raising money now?"

Without a second thought, Ruth said, "Why bother? I'll just fill out the forms and file for divorce at the city hall!"

"Jackson is already a murderer, I can't let him drag me down with him!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Ning subconsciously thought, what if Jack sold them?

But then Tanning realized that even if Jeken were to betray her, he could only betray Ruth, who had cooperated with Jeken to control Lynn Knightworth, not Ruth, who was using her friend's house at the time.

Furthermore, since Jeken betrayed Ruth, wouldn't Ruth inherit both Jeken's and Ruth's assets?

With that thought, Tan Ning immediately fell silent.

However, just as she remained silent, Ruth suddenly shouted:

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

Tan Ning suddenly looked up, staring in astonishment at Ruth who had started shouting.

At that moment, she saw Ruth take three steps at a time, quickly heading towards a four-story building along the street, blocking a group of people who were moving out.

What are you doing?!

Tan Ning saw Ruth arguing with several workers carrying loads of quail, so she hurried over:

"Mom! Why are you arguing with other people for no reason?"

What's all the noise about?

Ruth glared at Tan Ning and said irritably:

"They're moving our sofa!!!"

Chapter 26 I can become your family too!

—They moved my house!!

One sentence left Tan Ning completely stunned.

She took a step back abruptly, looked around, and immediately realized that the workers were moving to their home—No. 111 Zijinhua Street.

"What's going on?" Tan Ning was bewildered.

Just then, a voice that Ruth would never forget and that left Tan Ning in a daze rang out:

"Why did you stop?"

"Keep moving! I've already signed the resale agreement with the Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn strode out of the house.

Compared to her adventurer outfit yesterday, Lynn's current attire is quite 'tacky'.

On his slender neck hung three jeweled necklaces, red, blue, and purple, gleaming with precious stones and exuding an air of wealth and power.

In addition, Lynn wore three gold bracelets on his bare right hand.

The gold bangles were all thicker than the last; one of them was big enough to be used as a bracelet.

Ruth remembered the largest gold bracelet; it was a bracelet that Fei Yin Knightworth bought for her 'little niece' a few years after Tan Ning was born.

At this moment, when Ruth saw Lynn digging out her daughter's childhood anklets and putting them on her wrists, she exploded!

"How dare you steal my gold!!"

Lynn turned his head and saw Ruth charging towards him with her claws outstretched. He immediately took two steps back without making a sound, avoiding Ruth.

Using his speed to dangle Ruth, Lynn dodged the woman's grasps and turned to shout into the house:

"Aren't you going to step in and stop this?"

"Why stop them?"

At the same moment she finished speaking, Sia tossed her hair, walked out of the house, stood at the doorway, leaned against the doorframe, and said:

"I'm more curious about how you would handle this situation than how you would stop her."

To be honest, Sia was very curious about Lynn's thought process.

After learning that he could handle Jacken and Ruth's assets, Lynn, who had just fought a fierce battle, rushed to Jacken's house that very night without even taking a break and began to ransack the place.

After searching the house several times, Lynn not only found out the valuables and pocketed them, but he also urgently contacted the Red Dragon Merchant Guild after dawn, wanting to resell everything in the house.

Their drive, their execution, and their intellect are simply extraordinary!

"H-Sir Shia?"

At this moment, Tan Ning, who was standing not far away, immediately spotted Xia, his expression changed instantly, and he quickly called out to Ruth:

"Mom!! Stop it!!"

Enraged, Ruth completely ignored her daughter's cries.

Faced with this situation, and knowing that Sia couldn't be relied upon, Lynn turned to the side and called out:

"If you don't make a move, I'm going to have to use force!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Several men in military police uniforms swept across the thirty-meter distance and appeared in front of Ruth.

Upon seeing the iconic black uniform, Ruth's face paled, and she immediately stopped what she was doing, no longer daring to scratch Lynn.

Seeing that Ruth had calmed down, Lynn turned to the captain of the military police and complained:

"Honestly, how can someone who's supposed to be maintaining order just stand by and watch the show?"

At this moment, the military police captain who had rushed over immediately looked at Lynn with the eyes of someone looking at a god.

Before they arrived, their colleague Cohen told them there would be some fun to see, but they never expected it to be this kind of fun!

Defrauding homes in front of the victims?

Are you playing this hard?

At this moment, upon seeing the military police appear, Tan Ning, who was initially confused and somewhat frightened, suddenly felt confident:

"Military police? You've come at the right time! This man broke into a house and committed robbery. Quick, arrest him!!"

Upon hearing Tan Ning's accusations, Lynn raised an eyebrow and revealed a contemptuous smile.

Completely ignoring Tan Ning's accusations, he walked to the side, stopped, and handed a pack of cigarettes without filters to the workers who were confused and hesitant to move.

"Master, please do me a favor and move these furniture to the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce. I've already signed the resale agreement!"

After saying that, Lynn turned around and called into the house:

"Um, Ms. Ramie from the Chamber of Commerce, I'd like to trouble you to make the trip and handle the receiving."

Upon hearing the sound, a timid woman emerged from the house.

With her light brown curly hair and the pointed ears typical of elves, Ramie Snowfit, a member of the Snow Elf clan and currently working as an 'Asset Appraisal Consultant' for the Red Dragon Merchant Guild, bowed slightly to Shia, who was blocking the doorway, before stepping out of the house and jogging over to Lynn.

“Okay, Mr. Lynn, please have the workers place the items to be resold on the open ground over there. I will begin the price assessment now.”

"Price assessment?" Ruth snapped again. "Those are my things! What right do you have to assess them?!"

Before Rose could make a move, Leo, the military police captain, silently blocked Lynn and Rose's path, and said with a serious expression:

"Please stop, ma'am."

"What are you doing?" Ruth was stunned when she saw this, and pointed at Lynn, saying, "Grab him! Why are you blocking me?"

At this moment, Captain Leo said expressionlessly:

"Sorry, the military police have no right to prevent citizens from legally disposing of their own assets?"

"What did you say?" Ruth was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Tan Ning realized that the situation was not right and quickly said, "But these are my family's things!!"

Lynn peeked out from behind the broad-shouldered Leo, smiling at Ruth and Tanning:

"Yours? No way, this is clearly my home!"

"How can you take my things and claim them as your own?"

"This is blatant robbery!!"

After saying that, before the two could react, Lynn turned to Leo and said:

"He should be sentenced!!"

Leo's lips twitched violently upon hearing this, then he turned around, took a deep breath, and explained to Ruth and Tanning:

"Gentlemen, let me explain first."

"Due to Jeken's actions, the court ruled that Jeken's right to inherit the family assets was denied and ownership was transferred to Lynn Knightworth."

"In other words, all of Jeken's assets inherited from the Knightworth family, including the interest income derived from those assets, will be transferred to Lynn, the gentleman next to me."

"As far as I know, none of them have ever worked since Miss Ruth married Jacken, and their income has depended entirely on the interest income from the assets allocated by the family."

"Therefore, in view of this situation, the elders of the Knightworth family have decided to strip both of their assets and hand them over to Lynn Knightworth for inheritance."
