Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

“Where would we get any money?” Ruth retorted instinctively.

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

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

Cohen did not respond to this, but simply waved his hand, indicating that they should hurry up and raise the money.

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

At this moment, a civilian employee 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, and the doll he used to deceive us, taken away by the City Lord's 'Crimson Scale Force'?"

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

Seeing this, the office staff 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 them out and then caught them again? There's definitely something fishy going on here!

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

Zijinhua Street.

Ruth, stepping off the wagon, muttered under her breath as she walked:

"Damn it, Jacken! I told you long ago to get rid of that imposter, but he just kept dragging his feet. Now look what's happened, he's caused trouble!"

Seeing this, Tan Ning immediately fell silent and instead cooperated by saying:

"Yes, Dad is too timid. If he had resolved it earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

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

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

For example, if Jacken takes action to seize the family property, doesn't she get a share of the money she gets?

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

Now that Jack had gone in, Tanning was actually quite relieved.

I'm glad I only agreed 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 go and raise the money now?"

Without a second thought, Ruth said, "What's the point of 'gathering'? I'll go back and fill out the form 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 Jacken sells them?"

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

Furthermore, since Jacken betrayed Rose, wouldn't she inherit both Jacken's and Rose's assets?

With that thought in mind, Tan Ning immediately fell silent.

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

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

Tan Ning looked up abruptly, staring in astonishment at Ruth, who was now shouting.

Just then, she saw Ruth take three steps at a time, quickly walking towards a four-story building along the street, blocking a group of workers who were moving furniture.

What are you doing?!

Seeing Ruth arguing with several workers who were moving sofas, Tan Ning 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 be 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 dumbfounded.

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

Why 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 his adventurer outfit yesterday, Lynn's current attire is quite 'tacky'.

Around his slender neck hung three necklaces of gemstones, red, blue, and purple, gleaming with wealth and opulence.

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

The gold bracelets were thicker and thicker than the last; one of them was big enough to be used as a wristband.

Ruth remembered the biggest gold bracelet; it was an anklet that Fei Yin Knightworth bought for her 'little niece' a few years after Tanning was born.

At this moment, when Ruth saw that Lynn had dug out her daughter's childhood anklet and put it on her wrist, 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 dodge Ruth's attacks, Lynn turned and shouted into the house:

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

Why did you stop them?

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

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

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

After learning that he could handle Jacken and Ruth's property, Lynn, who had just fought a fierce battle, rushed to Jacken's house overnight without taking a break and began to ransack it.

Lynn not only looted the house and pocketed all the valuables, but he also contacted the Red Dragon Merchant Guild after dawn, wanting to sell 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 Xi Ya, 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 shouted:

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

As soon as he finished speaking,

Several men in military police uniforms strode 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 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 has broken into a house and committed robbery. Quick, arrest him!!"

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

He completely ignored Tan Ning's accusations, walked to the side, stopped, and handed a pack of unfiltered cigarettes to the workers who were confused and afraid 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, could you please do me the trouble of making this delivery?"

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

With her light blue curly hair and the pointed ears typical of elves, Ramie Snowfit, a member of the Snow Elf race and currently serving as an 'Asset Appraisal Consultant' for the Red Dragon Merchant Guild, bowed slightly to Sia, who was blocking the doorway, then walked out of the house and jogged over to Lynn.

“Okay, Mr. Lynn, please have the workers place the items to be resold on the open ground over there, and 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 Ruth could act, Leo, the military police captain, silently blocked Lynn and Ruth'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, "Go ahead and grab him, why are you stopping me?"

At this moment, Captain Leo said expressionlessly:

"Excuse me, 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 things!!"

Lynn peeked out from behind the broad-shouldered Leo, smiling as he looked 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 Jaken's murder, the Knightwood family elders have decided to deny Jaken's right to inherit the family assets and transfer ownership to Lynn Knightwood."

"In other words, all of the assets that Jacken inherited from the Knightwood family, including the interest income derived from those assets, will be transferred to Lynn, the gentleman next to me."

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

"Therefore, given 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."
