They inherited almost everything?
"Then...what about the rest?" Cheng Jiang asked softly, his voice trembling slightly.
"The remaining 10% is distributed among several collateral relatives of the Gao Liu family."
The lawyer's expression became a little strange, even with a hint of gloating:
"However, according to the news we just received, those side branch members... well, because they are suspected of being involved in certain... illegal activities, they have been taken away by the Taimanin to assist in the investigation. I'm afraid they won't be able to exercise their inheritance rights in the short term."
The lawyer paused and added:
"That is to say, in the foreseeable future, the actual control of Takayanagi Company will be completely in the hands of the two ladies."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Chengjiang and Mitsuko looked at each other and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes. They became the controllers of this 10 billion asset?
Just because they were the widows of those two dead men? This was even more bizarre than what happened last night.
An idea came to Chengjiang's mind.
She is Master Xiuyuan's "packhorse", and everything in the Gao Liu family should be a sacrifice to the master.
Now that it has rightfully fallen into their hands, it seems reasonable to hand it over to the master.
She looked at the lawyer and said, "I understand. Please handle the subsequent procedures as soon as possible."
Her tone calmed down, with a sense of composure that everything had settled.
The lawyers bowed and began to pack up the documents.
Takayanagi's legal and financial teams move with astonishing speed and efficiency, comparable to that of a precision-operated machine.
In just one day, the piles of documents were processed and handed over to Mrs. Chengjiang and Mitsuko.
The entire inheritance process went incredibly smoothly. Those collateral relatives who might have jumped in to fight for the family fortune seemed to have vanished without causing a single commotion. The lawyers exchanged glances privately; this was the first time they had ever encountered such a "clean" transfer of tens of billions of yuan in assets, as if an invisible hand had cleared all obstacles in advance.
The handover ceremony was held in a low-key manner in Xiuyuan's villa.
Faced with the documents representing astronomical figures, Mrs. Chengjiang appeared unusually calm.
Her mind was no longer on worldly wealth. The faint brand on her back was a constant reminder of her new identity. She was her master's pack horse, and everything in the Gao Liu family belonged to her master.
She picked up the pen without hesitation.
Mitsuko was different. She looked at the long string of zeros on the document, her fingers trembling slightly.
The huge gap made her feel a little dazed, but more of a sense of security as if she had caught a piece of driftwood.
She looked at Cheng Jiang, who was calm and composed beside her, and then at Xiu Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed not far away. The sense of dependence in her heart grew stronger. She also signed her name.
The formalities were completed and the legal team respectfully took their leave.
Only Xiuyuan and three women were left in the living room.
Madam Chengjiang stood up first, walked to Xiuyuan, and bowed deeply, her attitude extremely respectful:
"Master, Takayanagi Company is now under the name of Mitsuko and me. This is the ill-gotten wealth accumulated by this sinful family, and now it is your responsibility to deal with it." She spoke sincerely, with unquestionable determination.
"Master, please accept it to atone for the past sins of the Gao Liu family."
Mitsuko also quickly followed suit:
"Yes, Master. If you hadn't saved us, we would have already... I hope these few things are a small token of our gratitude."
She looked at Xiu Yuan, her eyes full of admiration and trust, as if as long as he nodded, they would immediately hand over the tens of billions of assets with both hands.
Xun stood aside, watching his mother and sister-in-law vying to "give money", his little face full of confusion, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Xiu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them, his face still as calm and composed as ever:
"Amitabha. Money is just material possessions and is of no benefit to my practice."
He shook his head slightly and refused decisively.
Chengjiang and Mitsuko were both stunned. They didn't expect Xiuyuan to refuse so thoroughly.
Billions of wealth, are you just going to give it up like that?
Cheng Jiang was anxious. She took a step forward and almost knelt down.
"Master! This..."
Xiu Yuan raised his hand to stop her:
"But..." He changed the subject and looked out the window, as if gazing into the distance.
"There is something about the land of Gao Liu's ancestral home."
"Although that mansion has become a ruin, the earth veins converge beneath it, and spiritual energy flows faintly. It is a rare and peaceful place."
Xiu Yuan said slowly:
"I wish to take this place and build a simple Zen temple for my meditation. I also wish to suppress any remaining evil spirits underground, thus settling a cause and effect."
Build a Zen monastery?
Suppress evil spirits?
Chengjiang and Mitsuko looked at each other, and their admiration instantly reached its peak.
He regarded money as dirt, and chose an "ominous place" where people had died and it had become a ruin, for the purpose of practicing and suppressing evil spirits!
This is the real monk!
Compared to him, the men in the Takayanagi family who were addicted to desire were like stink bugs.
"Master, you are so merciful!" Mrs. Chengjiang was so moved that she immediately agreed.
"That piece of land originally belonged to the Gao Liu family, so it naturally belongs to the master now! I will have a lawyer handle the transfer procedures immediately!"
Mitsuko also nodded repeatedly, and her eyes seemed to be shining when she looked at Xiuyuan.
This master not only saved their lives, but also invisibly purified their tainted lives.
They are lucky to be able to follow such people.
Xiu Yuan nodded slightly, a trace of "compassion" on his face:
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you two ladies."
I thought to myself: I have got the blessed land and the merits, this is not a loss.
That blessed land at the node of the earth vein, plus the magical instruments, special minerals and medicinal herbs of the Gao Liu family, these are the most precious treasures of the Gao Liu family, and now they have all fallen into Xiu Yuan's pocket.
As for those worldly assets... let them manage them first, they will always be useful in the future.
Well, I really have a connection with Buddha and can always find the most reasonable way to solve problems.
On the other side, in the Chaos Arena.
In the cold-lined room, Oboro, wearing a tight combat uniform, listened to the report from his subordinates.
"The head of the Gao Liu family was killed? Did Xiu Yuan do it?"
There was a hint of metal in Long's voice. It wasn't a surprise, just a confirmation.
The subordinate lowered his head and answered quickly:
"Yes, sir. The Takayanagi residence was razed to the ground, and there were obvious signs of fighting. The head of the Takayanagi family, Takayanagi Koji, and Takayanagi Ichiro were all dead. The only ones left at the scene were the Takayanagi family's widow, Mrs. Sumie, her daughter-in-law Mitsuko, and her stepdaughter, Takayanagi Kaoru."
947 Long's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a dull sound.
Xiu Yuan’s strength seems to be stronger than expected.
The one who could deal with the head of the Gao Liu family so cleanly and efficiently must be an old monster who has lived for more than three hundred years!
It seems that this monk does have some skills.
"Xiu Yuan is unharmed?"
Long asked again, with a barely perceptible hint of inquiry in his tone.
"Yes, sir. Xiuyuan was in good condition after the battle and even took the widow of the Gao Liu family with him."
Long was silent for a moment, and a subtle sense of crisis arose in his heart.
The timing of this Xiuyuan's appearance was too coincidental.
Ever since she betrayed the Taimanin, she has gone to great lengths to gain a foothold in the Nomad organization and will never allow anyone to ruin her plans.
"Continue to monitor Xiuyuan's movements. Report any abnormalities immediately."
Oboro ordered, his voice cold.
"Yes, sir." The subordinate retreated respectfully.
The room fell silent again, leaving only Long alone.
She walked over to the huge picture window, overlooking the brightly lit arena below.
Countless battles are taking place, and the sounds of beast-like roars and weapons clashing can be heard faintly. This is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak, and only the strong can survive.
Xiu Yuan's appearance was like a stone that suddenly appeared, causing ripples on her calm surface.
But now, she had no time to delve into Xiu Yuan's affairs. More important than a monk who suddenly appeared was the coming adult.
"Lord Black..." Long murmured the name softly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his amber eyes.
That lord, the leader of the Nomad organization and the most powerful vampire, is about to come to the world.
This is her chance to rise and also a step to a higher level.
In order to meet Blake, she had to be fully prepared and ensure that nothing went wrong.
The matter of cultivating relationships can only be put aside for the time being.
It won’t be too late to settle things slowly after we welcome that adult.
She never fails to catch the prey she sets her eyes on.
The same is true for cultivating good karma.
Chapter 63: Widow, a night of betrayal
After dealing with the aftermath of the Takayanagi family, the next things happened naturally.
Although she was filled with disgust and fear towards the men of the Takayanagi family, she still had to be polite on the surface.
Mitsuko and Mrs. Sumie changed into solemn black mourning clothes, suppressed their inner turmoil, and began to prepare the mourning hall.
They found a funeral company and rented a large room. They set up an altar according to tradition and filled the room with incense and candles.
Three portraits stood side by side: the head of the Takayanagi family with a haggard face and sinister eyes, Takayanagi Ichiro in a suit and tie with a cold expression, and the face of Takayanagi Koji who looked a little fat and cowardly.
Looking at these three photos, especially the one in the middle that was of her husband, Mitsuko felt a wave of disgust.
That man, perhaps he was not a pure human being from the beginning, and now he has turned into charcoal, he really deserves it.
Mrs. Chengjiang seemed much calmer. She had long been accustomed to playing the docile role in the Gaoliu family. At this moment, she just lit incense sticks and arranged offerings step by step, as if she was performing a ritual that had nothing to do with her.
Only the faintly hot brand on her back reminded her that she no longer belonged to this corrupt family.
Xiuyuan was wearing a brand new monk's robe and sitting cross-legged on a cushion on the side of the mourning hall, with a solemn expression and a dignified appearance.
He closed his eyes slightly and recited the sutras for rebirth slowly and steadily.
The low and rhythmic Buddhist chanting echoed in the mourning hall, adding a touch of solemnity to this strange funeral.
Only he himself knows how "sincerely" he recites this scripture.
After all, he was the one who killed the person and destroyed the soul. Personally performing the salvation for the soul is considered a thoughtful service and a perfect deed.
?There was a constant stream of guests coming to pay their respects, and the traffic almost blocked the road outside the mourning hall.
Most of these people were dressed in well-fitting black suits or dresses, with just the right amount of sadness on their faces, but their eyes were flashing with all kinds of complex lights.
The guests walked to the front of the coffin, bowed to the three portraits, then turned to Mitsuko and Mrs. Sumie, who were dressed in mourning clothes and presided over the funeral as widows, and said the same words of condolences.
"Madam, please accept my condolences."
"President Takayanagi died young. God is truly jealous of his talent."
"Please take care of yourself."
Mitsuko stiffly returned the greeting, forcing a smile uglier than crying, but her stomach was cramping and she just wanted to vomit.
