"Split? Did I say I should split it? I borrowed this money, so how can I split it? " Chen Jiu's next words caused everyone to resent him. He loudly said, "This money will be under my father's control in the future. If there's anything to be done in the future, it will have to be under his name."
"What? How can you be so selfish? You should know that you owe us a debt, and we're paying it all for you … "For a moment, many of the Chen family's uncles were very dissatisfied.
"Uncles, I don't want to say some unpleasant things. Ask yourselves, are you really sincere in helping me pay my debt? If I'm not a Dragonblood Warrior, then who was it that allied with the council of founding elders to drive us out? "Chen Jiu wasn't polite at all as he criticized his uncles for their crimes.
"Little brat, you've grown up, haven't you? Don't tell me you want us to apologize to you? "Chen Xinghan said angrily.
"If you want to compensate, then I don't have any objections." In the face of Chen Xinghan's criticism, Chen Jiu calmly accepted it.
"You … if we compensate you, then you'll split the money with us?" Chen Yiyang followed up. As long as they had money, they could accept compensating.
"Compensating is something you should do. It's different from splitting the money," said Chen Jiu mercilessly.
"Father, you have to uphold justice for us." The Chen brothers helplessly pleaded with Chen Long and the others.
"Jiu 'er …"
"There's no need to say anything. There's no room for discussion. I've already made up my mind. If you don't want to use this money, then you can go back and develop yourselves. In the future, we'll just do our own things." Chen Jiu's words were firm, not giving face to anyone.
"Chen Jiu, you … don't think that we won't be able to survive without you … let's go …" Under Chen Xinghan's lead, a few of his uncles immediately left the scene. They didn't want to depend on others for survival.
"Alright, I'm looking forward to being able to rely on myself," Chen Jiu said as he immediately handed over the stack of yuan notes to Chen Tianhe. The other brothers stared at it with widened eyes. After all, they had never earned so much money in their entire lives!
"Ahem, brothers, if you have any ideas, you can talk to me tonight. I will give you financial support, but your businesses must belong to me." Chen Jiu was determined to carry out Chen Jiu's instructions. He had seen through this group of brothers, and they would only feel at ease if the money was under their own name.
A mountain can't have two tigers. If you want the clan to live well, then you must implement the Patriarch's centralization of power. If a Patriarch doesn't have absolute power, then who would be willing to listen to you?
In the past, the Chen Clan had flourished. Although they had developed quickly, the drawbacks were not small. That was, the hearts of the entire clan were scattered. If one party had a problem, the others wouldn't be willing to interfere. This was very detrimental to the clan's long-term development.
Now, Chen Jiu was using the excuse of paying off the debt to empty out the Chen Clan. It was reasonable for him to take out a large sum of money and ask the Patriarch to centralize power. This was also acceptable to everyone. It was much better than directly cutting off a piece of flesh from their hearts.
Chen Tianhe believed that as long as they operated like this for a few years, the Chen Clan's prosperity would definitely surpass the past. At that time, the entire clan would be united as a force, and it would be many times stronger than it was now.
"Patriarch, now that we have money, shouldn't we change the porridge?" A young master couldn't help but ask.
"The clan has just suffered a disaster, so we should still prioritize saving money. Everyone, just eat the porridge today. Tomorrow, I will increase the amount of food appropriately," Chen Tianhe said with a straight face.
"Chen Tianhe, don't be so stingy, okay?"
"Jiu 'er borrowed this money. Every cent and every cent must be used properly. If any of you have any objections, you can learn from them and develop yourselves …" Chen Tianhe was rich and imposing. When he spoke, he became more and more dignified.
Chen Jiu allowed Chen Tianhe to throw his weight around as he brought Chen Lan to eat some porridge. Then, they went back to their own homes.
After saying that he was tired, Chen Jiu went to rest alone. Of course, he wasn't sleeping. Instead, he immersed his consciousness into the Nine Dragon Ring.
After a few battles, he understood his own shortcomings. When he found the giant dragon, he immediately asked, "Does the Nine-Five have any big moves? I want to exchange them. "
The so-called big moves were huge moves that only a seventh rank warrior could use. The power of such a move could overturn the heavens and earth. It was so powerful that it was enough to intimidate a region.
The Dragon Ghost and Snake God could resist big moves, but that was only a seventh rank warrior's big move. Against the eighth rank warrior Mu Lan, if it wasn't for that sword intent, Chen Jiu felt that he would definitely lose.
"Of course there are. Defensive big moves, offensive big moves, flying big moves, escape formation big moves …. Which one do you want?" The giant dragon asked seriously.
"So many. Defensive, offensive, flying, I need all of them." Chen Jiu now had enough merit points. He felt that if he didn't arm himself to the teeth, he would be letting down the heavens.
Magicians and warriors believed in gods and could exchange power with them. Although Chen Jiu cultivated elemental energy, he could exchange everything with the giant dragon. He felt that he was simply a fighter amongst elemental energy cultivators. In the future, he would definitely shine brightly in the Qiankun Continent and shake the world.
His confidence and ambition swelled without limit. Just as Chen Jiu was fantasizing about his beautiful future, the giant dragon's cold words extinguished the fire in Chen Jiu's heart.
"Master, with your current elemental energy, you can only exchange for one big move. That's because they aren't enough for you to use three big moves," the giant dragon mercilessly reminded him.
"What? My elemental energy is low? " Chen Jiu examined himself. Looking at the surging river in his dantian, he couldn't help feeling satisfied. But the giant dragon actually said it wasn't enough?
"Powerful big moves require the support of powerful elemental energy. You should know that with your current realm, you still can't truly draw upon the power of heaven and earth," the giant dragon kindly explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then I'll start with a flying big move." Chen Jiu felt that with his dragon skin for defense and sword intent for offense, he could temporarily deal with it. But he wasn't proficient in flying. Once he encountered opponents who were fast enough to fly in the sky, it would be very difficult to deal with them.
"Alright master. If you want to exchange for the flying big move, Dragon God's Wings, you need to spend a thousand merit points. Are you sure you want to exchange for it?"
"Yes, I'll exchange for it." Following Chen Jiu's voice, the giant dragon's mouth and nose once more spat out strands of dragon law. They wrapped around Chen Jiu, allowing him to understand how to use the Dragon God's Wings.
