The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Three percent?"

After hearing Shen Humeng's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Although he was somewhat prepared, he was clearly still being conservative.

That's really pitiful.

As a first-class clan with a grandmaster at its helm, second only to the Ye and Xiao families, the Shen family naturally possesses a vast number of industries in addition to its martial prowess.

After all, the poor are learned and the rich are skilled in martial arts; resources are one of the important cornerstones of a family's military strength.

Such a massive industry is basically managed by specialized managers, and the Shen family rarely gets involved directly. They can simply focus their attention entirely on martial arts.

It's true that professional tasks should be left to professionals.

All of these industries were consolidated under the Shen Group.

Integrating so many industries and design fields into one group would actually create many problems, and in Lu Yuan's view, it wouldn't be professional enough.

However, other martial arts factions follow the same pattern. For example, the Starry Sky Club has been fully integrated into the Starry Glory Group.

When integrated, they not only possess greater power, but the martial arts forces behind them also serve as a powerful advertisement.

In this era that values ​​force and is even somewhat barbaric, this is the most hardcore approach.

The Shen Group belongs entirely to the Shen family and is entirely controlled by members of the Shen family. Shen Fuyue himself controls 51% of the shares. As the patriarch, he has absolute power that cannot be shaken even if everyone else unites.

The remaining 49% was divided equally among the four families.

Initially, the shares were indeed divided equally, but as time went on, the strength of each branch varied, and these shares began to circulate.

To date, the four-household division has increased by 3%.

The eldest branch is even more pitiful. Not only does it also only have Shen Qiubing's bloodline left, but it is also a third-generation descendant, with only 2% remaining.

In other words, the first wife and the fourth wife together only hold 5% of the shares.

This is not just about money; this shareholding ratio basically represents their control over the Shen family's resources.

The remaining 44% was divided between the second and third wives, with the second wife receiving 21% and the third wife 23%.

"How about we just forget about the 30% stake? You can take Lu Bei and come live with me on your own."

After listening to Shen Humeng's explanation, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

The gap was so large that he lost all fighting spirit.

He now has a foothold in the family, so why is he getting involved with the Shen family and these people?

Ultimately, he wasn't a son-in-law who moved into his wife's family home.

"This is the last thing my mother left me."

Shen Humeng looked at Lu Yuan and gently shook her head.

"Didn't your mom leave you any other keepsakes?"

Lu Yuan sighed, looking rather helpless.

The clothes and toys from her childhood, the jewelry her mother wore—weren't they all left to Shen Humeng?

In fact, Lu Yuan knew that Shen Humeng just didn't want to give up.

For nearly thirty years, she had been a member of the Shen family, struggling, fighting, and even battling within this family. Now, she was being asked to give it all up and leave with Lu Yuan. How could she accept that?

"Besides, what will happen to Bingbing if I just leave?"

Shen Humeng said another sentence, her eyes filled with deep worry.

Leaving Shen Qiubing alone in the Shen family would only make her situation more difficult.

Moreover, Shen Qiubing is different from her; not only does she not have a husband to rely on, but she also holds the title of the eldest son's wife.

In this life, what people strive for is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Even if the second and third wives win all 49% of the shares, they will still be the second and third wives, and will never become the first wife!

For the sake of this reputation, they would never let Shen Qiubing go.

"Alright, then let's play along with them."

Upon hearing Shen Qiubing's name, Lu Yuan's heart stirred.

For some reason, Shen Qiubing's importance in his heart seemed to have suddenly changed.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan asked a question.

"Since the shares were initially divided equally, but now there is a huge gap, it means that these shares can be transferred. How did the second and third wives take the shares away from you?"

"Besides normal transactions, there's also physical fighting. This 49% stake is restricted to the Shen family, but it can also be traded among Shen family members."

"Let's leave the trading aside for now; I'm more interested in martial arts."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked another question.

"Then let me tell you."

Shen Humeng nodded, and then spoke to Lu Yuan.

The Shen family is a martial arts family, and they established their family on martial arts. Therefore, the proportion of resources they use is naturally largely determined by their martial strength.

Every year at the end of the year, there would be a violent fight between the four branches of the Shen family.

It is divided into battles between family members and battles between warriors under the command of each branch. The shares are transferred based on the results of the battles.

Compared to the second and third wives, the first and fourth wives had very few members, each with only one son, and the outcome was predictable.

In the years of competition, Shen Qiubing has only two shares left to guarantee her a minimum return.

Shen Humeng fared somewhat better. After advancing to the Warrior rank, in addition to the guaranteed two points, he finally won back one point over the years, which is 3%.

"You can do that...?"

Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked another question.

"Can I participate?"

"You're my husband, of course you can participate, but..."

Shen Humeng hesitated slightly before adding a sentence.

"However, the shares you win can only be registered in my name."

"I understand, after all, I don't have the surname Shen, I understand that. Besides, we're married, what's yours is mine, isn't it?"

Lu Yuan smiled, not caring at all about this matter of title, and then asked another question.

"After I finish competing as a family member, can I participate again as a martial artist under our fourth branch?"

"Well……"

Shen Humeng opened her mouth, then shook her head with a wry smile.

Participating in two events by one person is a bit too much of a cheat.

"No way, are the rules that rigid? I'm not surnamed Shen."

Lu Yuan frowned, then suddenly smiled.

"Since I can't participate in the martial arts competition as a warrior under the fourth branch, surely I can as a warrior under the first branch?"

"Um?"

Shen Humeng's eyes widened instantly. Could this really be done?!

Although it feels a bit strange, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the rules.

"Hehe, that's fine then. If I don't beat the shit out of the second and third wives, then they've cleaned up."

"vulgar."

Shen Humeng gave Lu Yuan a reproachful look, then couldn't help but laugh.

It feels so good to have someone protecting you.

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound."

Lu Yuan chuckled lightly, not noticing Shen Humeng's change in mood, as he was currently focused on the Shen family's martial arts battle.

Although he is only a six-star warrior now, not even a high-level warrior, his actual combat strength, without using his psychic power, is enough to defeat a nine-star warrior!

After all, when he had five star cores, he was already capable of contending with a nine-star warrior.

Although the second and third wives were reasonably strong, their strongest member was only a seven-star warrior. Lu Yuan believed he could easily sweep them away with one hand!

As for the warriors under their command, can they recruit any grandmasters? If not, they're doomed to be swept aside.
