Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 156 Mother Yang: It’s confirmed, this son-in-law is richer than me
When Byron left, he was holding a statue in his hands, with a look of confusion on his face.

What kind of fruit is this?
Why was he driven away as soon as he took it out?

Could it be that the fruit is more valuable than his Ghost Cave Statue?

"No, I have to ask my father."

Byron was somewhat unwilling and hurried towards his home.

He really didn't believe that there was any fruit in this world more precious than his Ghost Cave Statue.

And in the Yang family villa.

Yang Li looked at the spiritual fruit on the table with burning eyes.

My breathing became a little rapid.

She is the chairman of the Yang Group.

A powerful woman with a net worth of tens of billions.

Naturally, I know what spiritual fruit is.

She remembered that just seven or eight years ago, a grand auction was held in Jinshan City.

At that auction.

The final item is a spiritual fruit.

At that time, this spiritual fruit was sold at a sky-high price of more than 5 million US dollars! Equivalent to more than billion.

Yang Li said with a serious expression: "Shirley, is this a spiritual fruit?"

"Yes." Shirley Yang nodded.

Yang Li was still a little unconvinced. She picked it up carefully and examined it in her hand.

After a moment, she finally confirmed it.

This is a spiritual fruit.

Because spiritual fruits all have a special aura.

Yang Li had also seen this once before.

After she confirmed that this was a spiritual fruit, she took a deep breath and said seriously: "Jiang Hua, you should take this spiritual fruit back. It is too valuable. I can't take it."

"Auntie, please take it. This is a token of my appreciation."

Shirley Yang, who was standing by, hugged Yang Li's arm and said with a smile, "Mom, just take it. We all have enough of this spiritual fruit."

Yang Li wanted to scold her.

Do you know how much this spiritual fruit is worth?
But Yang Li reacted quickly.

She was stunned for a moment, "Don't you need this spiritual fruit?"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Li thought of a possibility that made her unbelievable.

"Could it be that... you still have a lot of these spiritual fruits?"

Shirley Yang nodded, "Well, Mom, just take it. I have eaten several spiritual fruits."

How many did you eat?
Yang Li's face looked a little dull.

It took a long time to react.

She felt complicated.

Now she was finally sure that Jiang Hua was definitely not after their family's property.

Because of this spiritual fruit, he no longer has to worry about food and drink.

And Shirley Yang also said that she ate several of them.

Wouldn’t that add up to tens of billions?
The total assets of their Yang Group are only a few hundred billion.

That seems like a big number.

In fact, many of them are assets.

There is actually not much liquid capital.

Moreover, the spiritual fruit is in short supply. Many wealthy people in the Lighthouse Country are waving their money, just wanting to buy a spiritual fruit, but there is nowhere to buy it.

Next, Shirley Yang basically told Yang Li everything that had happened during this period.

After Yang Li finished listening.

There was a dull look on her face.

"Shirley, are you saying that the curse on our Yang family has been completely resolved?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can check if there is still a mark on my shoulder?"

Yang Li lifted her sleeves and found that the ghost cave mark had indeed disappeared.

"Great!"

"This is truly God's blessing on our Yang family!"

Yang Li burst into tears with excitement.

Wait until she calmed down a little.

Jiang Huacai stepped forward and said, "Auntie, let me lift the curse for you now."

"Jiang Hua, on behalf of the ancestors of the Yang family, I would like to thank you for helping us lift the curse of the ghost cave. From now on, as long as my Yang family can do something, we will definitely do our best to help you do it!"

Yang Li wiped her tears and said solemnly.

"Auntie, you're welcome."

Jiang Hua quickly said: "Besides, I am now with Shirley Yang, so I am also a part of the Yang family."

"Don't think too much. Let me remove the curse for you first."

Yang Li nodded. She also wanted to see how the curse of the ghost cave, which had troubled their Banshan clan for more than two thousand years, could be lifted.

"Okay, thank you in advance. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, just sit here."

Then, Jiang Hua took out a bead from his arms.

This is exactly the Zhuchen Pearl.

He closed his eyes and used the power of his soul to activate the Zhuchen Pearl, which immediately emitted a hazy light.

Then a beam of light shot towards Yang Li.

Yang Li only felt a sharp pain in the mark on the back of her shoulder, but her expression did not change at all. This little pain was nothing to her.

About six or seven minutes later.

The painful feeling disappears.

Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "Auntie, it's okay, the ghost cave curse has been completely lifted."

Yang Li took out a mirror, looked at the back of her shoulder, and found that the eyeball-shaped mark had indeed disappeared.

Yang Li felt a little lost.

Their ancestors who moved mountains had been pursuing this goal for more than two thousand years, and now it has been solved so easily?

Yang Li felt a little disappointed for a moment...

night.

Jiang Hua took out the precious monster meat.

I had a good meal at Yang's villa.

And Yang Li also ate the Earth Spirit Fruit.

After eating the spiritual fruit, she became more than ten years younger.

When she stands with Shirley Yang, people will just say they are sisters.

After having enough wine and food.

Shirley Yang said hesitantly: "Mom, I want to tell you some bad news..."

Yang Li gave her a warning look and said calmly, "Is it about your father's death?"

"Ah?" Shirley Yang was stunned. "How did you know?"

"I'm not a fool. He's been gone for so long. If he wasn't dead, he should have sent us a message long ago."

Yang Li's face was calm, as if she had already accepted the reality.

"So there's a 90 percent chance that your father has passed away." Shirley Yang asked carefully, "Mom, aren't you sad?"

"sad?"

Yang Li shook her head. "I've been sad for a long time, but now I've let it go. In the days to come, I just hope to see you happy and live your life well."

"Then if you give me a big fat boy, I will be satisfied with my life."

Shirley Yang blushed a little.

"Mom, why are you urging us to have a baby?"

"We're not married yet."

Jiang Hua was also a little embarrassed.

Discuss these matters in front of Wen's mother.

I am indeed a little embarrassed.

"Who says you can't have children before getting married?" Yang Li said with a smile.

"Mom, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Yang Li continued, "Why are you embarrassed? It's a rare opportunity for you to come to the Lighthouse Country, so why not just discuss the wedding date so that I can make time to arrange it."

Jiang Hua thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, what you said makes sense. Shirley Yang and I can get married anytime."

"Regarding the wedding date, my idea is this: why don't you come back with us, and then discuss it with my dad to set a date for the wedding."

Yang Li thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's fine."

After everyone reached an agreement.

Yang Li said, "Jiang Hua, you don't have to call me auntie anymore. It seems a bit strange. Just call me mom."

"Yeah, Mom!"

Jiang Hua shouted cheerfully.

Yang Li smiled and said, "Well, wait for me to handle the group's business in the next few days, and you and Shirley can go shopping in Jinshan City."

"By the way, there will be an auction in Jinshan City in a few days. It will be held by Sotheby's, one of the world's four largest auction houses."

"If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

"Yeah, we get it."

And the other side.

In the Karl family villa.

The Karl family is one of the four top families in Jinshan City.

The wealth of their family has exceeded 100 billion.

It owns shares in all major listed companies.

The other four major families are similar.

It can be said that the four major families control the economic lifeline of the entire Jinshan City.

Their wealth is something that many people cannot even imagine in their lifetime.

And Byron is the direct descendant of the Carl family.

Of course, although he is a direct descendant.

But it's not the only one.

The Carl family believes in the idea that the capable are superior.

Only the most capable person is qualified to control the entire family, which is why the Karl family has prospered to this day.

But how do we judge the ability of a person?
Simply put, it depends on the chips it has.

There are nine elders in the Karl family.

If any direct descendant can get the support of one of the elders, then this elder will be his bargaining chip.

Or if someone can create a large listed company from scratch, then this listed company is also his bargaining chip.

And Byron naturally wanted to become the helmsman of the Carl family.

So he has to show his talent.

The Yang Group is worth hundreds of billions. If Byron can acquire the Yang Group, he will have a 90% chance of becoming the next head of the family!
So, this is why Byron proposed to Shirley Yang.

Nowadays.

When Byron left Yang's house.

He looked a little dazed.

He had a doubt in his mind.

What kind of fruit is that?
Yang Li actually drove him away?

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

So, he simply went back to the family and asked his father.

He is also the current head of the Karl family.

Freeman Carl.

When Byron returned home.

Freeman is working on the paperwork.

Seeing Byron come in, he smiled and said, "My dear son, judging from your expression, it seems that this business is not going well?"

"Don't be too discouraged. This is just a small setback in your life. If you want to seize the Yang Group, there are more ways than just marriage."

“Just remember, if you want to become the head of the Karl family, you must demonstrate your abilities.”

"You want to gain the support of the Yang Group through marriage. I won't stop you, but please remember that the Yang Group is just a tool. Marriage is not the only way."

"Compared to marriage, I hope you can show your strength and use your strength to conquer the elders in the family and gain their support."

Freeman looked at Byron's distracted eyes.

His brows suddenly frowned.

"Byron, do you understand what I said?"

"Ah?" Byron suddenly woke up, "Father, what did you just say?"

Freeman said helplessly: "Byron, I can see that you seem to be hit, but what does it matter?"

"My dear son, no matter what happens, don't be too discouraged."

Freeman picked up a cup of brewed coffee from the table and took a sip.

"Tell me, what happened to you today."

Byron hesitated, "Father, do you know a kind of fruit?"

"Fruit?" Freeman frowned and asked, "What kind of fruit?"

Byron will what happened today.

He told Freeman everything.

After Freeman finished listening.

His face suddenly changed and his breathing became a little rapid.

"Byron, you said that Yang Li chased you out immediately after seeing the fruit?"

"Um, Dad, what's the problem?"

Freeman's face turned serious.

"Byron, tell me carefully, what does that fruit look like?"

Seeing my father’s serious expression.

Byron couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Could it be that the fruit was really something precious?

Even my father asked so seriously?
"Father, I saw Shirley's boyfriend. He took out a jade box, and this fruit was inside the jade box."

"Jade box?"

There was a gleam in Freeman's eyes.
