"Don't you think I want to? I have to have money to add to his,"
The young Taoist sighed and said, "Alas, there's one more thing I need to tell you, Big Brother. The two of us are completely bankrupt this time."
Lin Zhan was stunned. "Brother-in-law, don't joke. Aren't we still doing so many businesses? How can we be bankrupt?"
The young Taoist looked up at Lin Zhan with the eyes of an idiot and said, "Brother, are you an idiot? We've done more than half of the business with the Myriad Races in the heavens, and now they're all defending against our attacks. Who are you going to do business with at this time?"
"The remaining neutral races are playing both sides, afraid of bringing the war to them. The moment we started fighting, they stopped all trade. I was even planning to deal with them after we finish off those bastards in the Myriad Races coalition,"
"Also, since we started fighting, for the past half year, your sister and my sister-in-law have been managing the businesses. The two sisters said that men with money turn bad, and from now on, they'll give us some pocket money, with a standard double that of your brother-in-law, Da Zhuang."
Lin Zhan was completely dazed after hearing the young Taoist's words.
The way He Da Zhuang lived, he wouldn't even dare to participate in bets with his brothers. If it were like him, how would I, the great marshal of the Human Race, manage?
"Brother-in-law, go and inspect the troops. We can be poor in everything else, but we can't be poor in the army, otherwise, the brothers below will be disheartened."
"Then, go and call everyone like Old He. Tell them I have something important to discuss. We need to pick two targets and make some significant achievements first, otherwise, we won't even have money for drinks."
The young Taoist nodded with realization and said, "Big Brother, I understand. Don't worry. I still have one resource secret realm that hasn't been opened yet. Although we don't have cash, these resources are enough to restore the troops."
Saying that, he got up to leave.
"Wait a minute, brother-in-law, there's still something else."
Lin Zhan quickly stopped the young Taoist and then pointed to the ground. "Brother-in-law, your Celestial Master Mansion has always been in contact with the underworld. Are the people in the underworld ready? My grandmother and mother have been crying their eyes out these past few days. Is there any news?"
The young Taoist nodded and quickly said, "I was about to tell you about this. The brothers who died this time have all successfully passed through the Six Paths of Reincarnation and transformed into human race heroic spirits."
"Our maternal grandfather, great-uncle, and Grandpa Xiang have all become generals. Even the three uncles, Li Feiyang, Wang Zhanshan, and Liu Dali, have re-established the Underworld Dragon Knights in the underworld, although their strength is a bit weak, and they are always being dealt with by the Underworld Dragons."
"By the way, Big Brother, an overall commander has also been chosen in the underworld. It is said that his innate physique is very tough. When the two armies meet, you might lose your position as overall commander."
Lin Zhan was stunned, then curled his lips, with a look of disdain:
"Don't try to fool me. Is there anyone in the heavens with a tougher innate physique than mine now?"
"Why don't I believe it? With my, Lin Zhan's, notorious reputation... pfft, reputation, spreading throughout the heavens, who wouldn't give me face?"
"If anyone dares not to give me face, send the First Army to go and kill them all."
The young Taoist chuckled wickedly and said, "Big Brother, you really can't touch this person, because the overall commander chosen in the underworld is our grandfather."
"Nani?"
Lin Zhan looked at the young Taoist with a bewildered expression and said, "Our grandfather? Our old man?"
"That's right, Big Brother. It's our grandfather, the former Grand Marshal of the Human Race, Lin Tian," the young Taoist said with a smile.
Lin Zhan had a constipated expression and said, "So, I sent 34 million elite soldiers, plus several famous generals and more than forty legion commanders, to my grandfather, and then let the old man snatch my position as overall commander?"
"That's right, you can think of it that way," the young Taoist agreed.
Lin Zhan slapped himself and said, "No wonder those old men chose to die in battle as a group. They must have planned to go to the underworld to set up a new base with their old brothers."
"So, Big Brother, we have no money now, or rather, no money at all. And our seniority is not as high as these old men. How can you fight for this position as overall commander? I say, you should just resign," the young Taoist waved his hand and said.
"Just say I'm poor, why all the nonsense?"
Lin Zhan said this while narrowing his eyes at the young Taoist.
"Brother-in-law, what benefits did my grandfather give you to come and demoralize me like this?"
The young Taoist chuckled and said, "Brilliant, truly brilliant. As expected of my Big Brother. Grandfather said that if I can make you resign voluntarily, he won't ask me for Ya'er's betrothal gifts."
Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the ancestral hall. "This old rascal is very cunning."
"Brother-in-law, we have to be on the same front, no matter what. Tell me, do you have any good ideas?"
The young Taoist quietly glanced in the direction of Lin Zhan's bedroom.
"Big Brother, the little princess of the Immortal Race, Miss Xian'er, has a large dowry. If you marry her, it can at least fill half of our storage secret realm."
Lin Zhan quickly shook his head and said, "That won't work. The Great Shang Imperial Consort is already your sister-in-law. If you let the little princess of the Immortal Race come to our house as a concubine, aren't you afraid that those old immortals from the Immortal Race will come knocking on our door? This idea won't work, think of another one."
The young Taoist's eyes rolled, and he said again, "Since the outside won't work, then only the neighbors are left."
"Big Brother, the business in Fusang has been good this year. Zhen Nai Xuene has already become the third richest woman among the top ten on the mother planet."
"Also, in the Rome Special Zone, Caesar's great-great-granddaughter, she is the fourth richest woman among the top ten."
"Both of them are from our mother planet. Although they are a bit poor, they are enough to cover half a year's expenses for our troops."
Lin Zhan waved his hand dismissively and said, "You can forget it. With my, your Big Brother's, charm, if I were to look for someone, it would be the first one."
The young Taoist was stunned and blinked his big eyes. "Big Brother has good taste. The first is my sister-in-law, and the second is my wife."
Lin Zhan was stunned, then gritted his teeth, stood up, took off his shirt, and rushed to the bedroom.
"What the hell, Big Brother, where are you going?" Looking at Lin Zhan's retreating back, the young Taoist asked in confusion.
"Going to make money. You should also get lost and do your work, don't be an eyesore here."
Hearing Lin Zhan's voice, the young Taoist couldn't help but curl his lips and say, "What bad habits are these? It's either parading his bird or making money with his shirt off. You are truly wild at heart."
As the young Taoist spoke, he summoned that quasi-king-level husky and rode on it. "Heizi, you have to advance to king-level quickly, otherwise, if you keep holding me back like this, I'll use your dog blood to draw talismans."
