Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 151 A Justifiable Merger

A highly coordinated industrial auction.

Every time Taiya raised her hand, everyone else would consciously give up the competition, and almost all of them would win at the starting price, which was almost like giving it away for free.

One hundred gold gets you the Splendid Years Club on Nightingale Road. One hundred gold gets you five Night Lodges scattered throughout the capital. One hundred and eighty gold gets you nine chain Adventurer's Taverns. Six hundred gold gets you six apartment buildings. One thousand gold gets you a whole street of shops on Flower Street. Two thousand one hundred gold gets you the deeds and ownership of a cement plant, meat processing plant, smelter, textile mill, oil refinery, and candy factory…

Almost all of the Belland family's valuable assets, including some of the valuable assets of other fallen noble families, were transferred to the Blue Rose family.

Atayal was essentially putting on a one-man show, repeatedly raising his paddle. He acquired over 70% of the properties, yet no one dared to scramble for them; it was clearly just going through the motions.

On one hand, the Blue Rose family is too powerful. Their actions are aggressive and intimidating, and no one dares to be the first to stand out.

On the other hand, the businesses of the decadent aristocracy are not so easy to take over, and bloodshed is inevitable.

They were never good people.

The deeper reason lies in the tacit approval and encouragement from the kingdom's top leadership.

In order to win back the Blue Rose family to the chessboard.

And considering that the strong must receive the status and respect they deserve in order to maintain order.

Moreover, these industries were the result of Blue Rose's intervention. They suffered no losses whatsoever; they simply accepted the entry of the powerful into the game's rules.

Or perhaps there was an element of luck involved.

The Speaker of the Council of Nobles is a member of the royal family, and King Alfred is clearly prepared to win over the Blue Rose family.

This week's rotating vice speaker happens to be a member of the Tulip family, and De Youlan, who covets the bloodline of the divine being, is unlikely to voice any objections.

The remaining four ducal families consisted of representative elders.

The interests of the Elme family and the Blue Rose family are highly aligned, with close ties through marriage and military alliances, so they will naturally side with the Elme family. The elders of the Golden Osmanthus family, unable to grasp the situation, chose to abstain. The elders of the Southern Stone family explicitly opposed the move, but unfortunately, they were outnumbered and not on their turn to vote.

During this time, they received a call from a distant family, and then directly changed their attitude and chose to support them—Grand Duke Nan Shi believed that these properties could be used as part of the ransom, fearing that the Blue Rose family would be too poor to bear the cost.

Thus, the negotiations and competition among various forces came to an end. Lacking power, the lower-ranking nobles could only watch as the Blue Rose family successfully completed its annexation, replacing the original nobles and sharing a portion of the core interests.

Fortunately, some soup and residue remained, so they didn't come away empty-handed.

Furthermore, many people see vacant public office positions as the real area worth pursuing. A more ambitious group, however, has shown a strong desire for the Belerand family's territory.

A larger territory leads to a higher rank, which is a recognition of social status!

Taiya left early, taking her followers with her. The biggest problem she faced next was the issue of taking over.

Arriving at the Spellcaster's Association, also located on Elm Street, I used the long-distance calling service.

On the other end of the live stream, waiting for orders, was an elderly maid.

Upon seeing Taeya's face appear on the live stream screen, she quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Young Miss!"

"Please tell my father and mother that I have acquired many businesses and hope to send some professional personnel to operate and manage them as soon as possible. I will be waiting in front of the live broadcast screen in Xiao An's dormitory at 7 pm tonight."

"yes…"

The cost of one gold coin per minute for a call was truly heartbreaking. Taiya hurriedly left her seat, heading to her younger brother's dormitory.

A week of upheaval. The capital was shaken, and the rigid social hierarchy underwent tremendous changes.

The disappearance of the art academy's beauty, which could have made headlines in the Kingdom Weekly, has been reduced to a trivial matter.

Liadrin sat on the sofa, engrossed in an illustrated novel titled "Adventurer's Diary," a plate of clean white strawberries sitting on the coffee table in front of her. The first batch, fresh from the harvest, was slightly tart.

However, the pandas don't care. They can eat a kilogram at a time without even blinking.

When Tai'an came home from school, he looked a little unwell. He had just almost recovered to his peak condition when he had another major stroke. Without taking a break, he rushed into the laboratory to start concocting medicine.

"Young Master is very busy every day!" Mussophie tilted her head.

Aglaia ran lightly along the cobblestone path leading to the Wizarding Academy.

This afternoon's sparring session saw me once again encounter my opponent, Gegrand, who had injured me. I successfully avenged my previous defeat and the excitement in my heart lingered for a long time.

Gagran is a top-ranked fighter below the official class, possessing superhuman strength. Even ordinary male warriors would find it difficult to withstand him head-on.

"Thanks to Master Ovisga's swordsmanship! I was able to find an opening!"

Aglaia's lips curled slightly as she recalled how she had narrowly dodged Gegran's slash and nearly killed him with a single blow.

No one present could believe how much she had improved. She had previously been at a mid-to-lower level, or even at the bottom, but in just one week she had made tremendous progress.

I'm thinking about the monthly ranking battle that will be held again at the end of the month, two weeks from now.

Aglaia plans to make a push, even if it doesn't necessarily bring any benefits, but at least she can shed the "pretty face" label to some extent.

She simply couldn't bear the strange looks from others and the gossip behind her back.

Everyone says that the young master of the Blue Rose family values ​​his own beauty, but the two have not actually shown any affection; it's all slander and rumors...

Friday dinner has special significance, symbolizing a time for family reunion. It signifies the end of a week of work and study, and the beginning of two days of rest and relaxation, so it is bound to be more sumptuous.

Silvermoon and Dorothy each requested that their respective chefs prepare at least two of their signature dishes.

Greenfield looked dejected, thinking that she needed to do something to demonstrate her status as the mistress of the house. She watched as the Blue Rose family's influence in the capital grew exponentially, while she seemed to be stagnating, her position becoming increasingly marginalized.

Taiya seemed to have guessed Greenfield's concerns and smiled meaningfully: "Recently, we are facing a severe shortage of manpower. We hope that you can provide assistance within your capabilities from a perspective that is more in line with the interests of the Blue Rose family."

The future matriarch faces an unexpected test!

Taiya presented all the shops along the entire Flower Street as a test, hoping that Greenfield would help with the reorganization, management, and timely collection of rent from the shops.

Greenfield was faced with three choices: first, to seek benefits from the perspective of the Red Maple family; second, to seek benefits from his own perspective; and third, to seek benefits from the perspective of the Blue Rose family.

"Sister Taiya, you're not kidding?" Greenfield couldn't hide the shock on his face.

Keep in mind that Flower Tower Street is located within the Third Ring Road of the capital. Even a single shop there is worth at least several hundred gold coins!

What exactly is the concept of a "street"?
