Chapter 832: Chapter 826: Comparing Goods Leads to Discarding (Part 1)

Everyone here is focused on Finn Lewis’s latest conquest; the entire Aitken Family has directly become Finn’s territory, all because of a broken contract from before. Such gains for Finn are simply phenomenal, effectively expanding his previous territory by four or five times.

Finn has already registered his new territorial extent with the Federation, not only including the Aitken Family’s lands but also the areas he expanded beyond the Solar System. These areas, too, have been added. However, those are untamed regions previously unexplored by anyone.

So, that part isn’t a worry, but Finn directly absorbing an aristocrat’s entire domain is a matter of immense envy, jealousy, and hatred for any individual – including the nine great surnames of the royal family that now find it incredibly challenging to expand their territories, not to mention outright devouring the entire domain of an aristocrat in one go.

This incident has practically become a legend within the Noble Academy; there’s no helping it. Finn spent just over a hundred million to amass over two hundred billion, and that over two hundred billion isn’t just a one-time profit. It has become his territory, resulting in subsequent revenues. Just think how much money it would take to pull off such a feat. @@novelbin@@

The people of the Galactic Federation aren’t fools; while star systems may not be very useful, the planets of the Administrative Star are treasures. Planets suitable for human habitation are limited resources. Only with a population does all potential emerge.

...

Of course, while most people envy, resent, and hate Finn, there are also those who gnash their teeth with hatred for him, and Suleiman Cooper is naturally one of those people.

But at this moment, Suleiman Cooper has no time to harbor hatred toward Finn. Standing in front of him is a man who doesn’t appear to be much older than Suleiman himself, but in reality, is already several decades his elder. Having only reached double Suleiman’s age.

“Uncle,” Suleiman said respectfully. This man was Suleiman’s uncle, also a direct heir of the Rochefort Clan. Unlike the others, Suleiman’s uncle held tremendous prestige and authority within the Rochefort clan.

Even some of his kin who were generations above him couldn’t match the man before him. Though he had yet to enter the clan’s upper ranks, he had already secured control over nearly one-fifth of the Rochefort Clan’s procurement and export rights; considering the amount of goods the Rochefort clan must export and import…

Compared to this uncle, Suleiman’s father was barely worth mentioning. Strictly speaking, there was hardly any difference between Suleiman’s father and Suleiman himself, even though the former owned some small businesses, they were mostly just scraping by. Alex Rutherford, that was the name of his influential uncle.

“Hmm, what you did was very foolish,” Alex remarked indifferently, glancing at his thrift nephew. Although he was Suleiman’s uncle, he and Suleiman’s father were not direct siblings, so naturally, there wasn’t much in terms of feelings between them. The distance was significant, despite both belonging to the Rochefort Clan.

“Yes,” Suleiman dared not retort. His uncle’s formidable reputation within their family was well-established, but one that was earned by advancing step by step, earning his respect so much so that Suleiman wouldn’t dare even fart in his presence.

“Fine, I’ve come here to deal with him for you. I will stay here for a while, but there are things you must do as I say. Understand?” Alex said coldly.

“Yes.”

“Now go and do the first thing. I hear he’s quite the celebrity at the Noble Academy. Find out if there are any minor nobles following in his footsteps, and who is doing business with him,” Alex commanded succinctly.

“No need to look into that, Uncle. I’ll investigate the business aspect in a bit, but there’s only one person following him, a guy named Marlon Murray, Martin Duffield, from a minor clan, a three-star noble family,” Suleiman said forthrightly.

“Oh, are you sure he’s the only one?” Alex asked after scrutinizing Suleiman; thankfully, his thrift nephew wasn’t completely foolish.

“Yes, Uncle,” Suleiman replied promptly.

“Then well, let’s start with the Ashford Family. Find every business they own and I want you to sign some agreements with this family within seven days. Mind you, you must sink at least one hundred billion star credits from them. Can you manage?” Alex straightforwardly inquired.

However, Alex wasn’t really addressing Suleiman; it would be too much for him and plainly impossible. Alex was speaking to the man behind him, someone Finn would recognize as his so-called bargain son, now a member of the Rochefort family.

“Can do, I’ll take care of it now. It’ll be done in no more than five days,” the man nodded. As for how to sign the agreements, that was none of Alex’s concern.

“Good, get on with it then. Let’s start by dealing with his underlings. I didn’t expect him to gain followers so quickly after arriving here. Heh, I’m looking forward to seeing who dares to follow him in the future,” Alex sneered to himself.

Suleiman shivered secretly; no wonder everyone said his uncle was extremely cunning. Seeing it now affirmed that. Suleiman, of course, understood what his uncle was up to, but such matters were beyond his capability, devoid of any clout within the Rochefort Clan.

All he could manage was to bully Marlon at school, but now that Marlon was under Finn’s wing, even that became difficult. So, tasks like these only Alex possessed the resources for; as for the methods Alex would use, that wasn’t Suleiman’s place to ponder.

What Suleiman did know was that Finn was going to be in trouble, which was the happiest news for him. Although his confrontation with Finn was due to Finn’s relationship with the Rochefort Clan — initially instigated by his uncle — regardless, Suleiman considered himself clever.

If it were up to his father, he would remain mediocre his whole life, but Suleiman refused to settle for that; he yearned to be like his uncle.

Of course, Finn was oblivious to this. Having just returned to the Noble Academy, Finn immediately inquired of Luna Starfield: “Luna Starfield, are there any members of the Wren Clan at the Noble Academy now?”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Luna Starfield responded crisply.
