Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 4051 [The Wisdom of a King]!
"...Did you close your account recently?"

"Yes, esteemed guest, didn't you operate this yourself? Why are you so...surprised?"

The speaker was a teller at the Void Bank in Thousand Stars Harbor, while the one asking the question was none other than Miss Nan herself, the newly appointed head of the golden world Azure!

"Oh... I'm going through menopause lately, so I'm forgetful. Bye-bye."

Xie Nan casually shrugged and left gracefully under the strange gaze of the ordinary teller at the front desk—this teller was really strange.

Based on the account closure record, the account holder should have been a VIP customer of the bank. Although the level was not high, it was definitely not low either. However, strangely, this VIP account had never used the VIP service even once in the past business transactions.

I guess you always queue at the regular counter?

So low-key?

……

"The main account is really cautious, preferring to close the account directly rather than continue taking risks..." Xie Nan, who wasn't upset about not being able to expose his secret stash, chuckled lightly, "That's just like me!"

Upon entering the bank, [September] skillfully led Raphael to the department that handled trusts, thus separating Xie Nan from them at this moment.

After listening to some strange gossip along the way, Xie Nan successfully found Raphael and [September] in the lobby of a certain department of the bank.

The cheap goddaughter was standing there dumbfounded, while [September] was negotiating with a creature that looked like a humanoid toad.

"What happened?" Xie Nan stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

“Ah, Godmother…” Raphael quickly pulled Xie Nan aside. “[September] and I came to process the trust certification procedures left by our parents. It was going smoothly at first, but suddenly we were told that there was an authorization document that required the signature of the department head. However, the department head is currently on vacation and will not be back for a while. We were told to go back and wait… [September] has been negotiating with the other party, but so far, we have not found a solution.”

Xie Nan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Why not? According to the rules published by [Void Bank], under any circumstances, as long as the customer's request is reasonable, you must do your best to complete the corresponding business! Even if your supervisor is on vacation, didn't you at least do the basic work of authorizing your subordinates to sign and confirm before taking the vacation?"

"The supervisor didn't give any instructions, so there's nothing we can do." The toad-like salesperson waved his hand dismissively. "Besides, don't you know how complicated it is to deposit and retrieve trust documents and handle the contents of those documents? Why didn't you make an appointment beforehand? Customer, it's very difficult for us to handle you if you just show up without an appointment! Anyway, that's all for today. Even if you made an appointment today, you can go back and wait. We'll let you know when we have any news."

“I need to see your superiors,” [September] said in a deep voice.

"The higher-ups have gone to a meeting at headquarters and it will probably be three to five years before they come back. Are you going to wait here?"

"you!"

Born from a programming background, and resembling an intelligent machine life form, [September] couldn't help but generate a data called [Rage] within her own data brain.

Why not follow the procedural conventions... such a massive [Void Bank]!
"Oh my, isn't this Mr. [Mosido]? It's been a long time!"

Just then, Xie Nan suddenly stepped forward and greeted the toad creature warmly, while her small, pert buttocks pushed [September] aside.

This skill is the result of many years of practice. After all, Miss Nan, who is always striving to climb... always striving to rise in rank, has really been practicing diligently in private. Every move and every technique has been honed to the pinnacle.

Therefore, it's easy to push aside September!

[September] remained silent at this time. As the godmother she had chosen for Raphael, she knew very well that Miss Nan would not do anything in vain.

"You know me?" Mr. Toad... looked at the smiling human in front of him with suspicion, and adjusted his glasses.

It must be said that this human is indeed aesthetically pleasing. Although he is not extremely stunning, he has a unique quality that grows on you the more you look at him... It's a pity that he is only an A-level strongman.

“Didn’t I do business with you a hundred years ago?” Xie Nan casually glanced at the nameplate on the other party’s table. “Mr. Mosido, it’s normal that you’ve forgotten me! But if it weren’t for your help back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today! I will always remember your great kindness… Well, I’ve been doing well lately and happened to be passing through Qianxing Port. I remembered you and came to pay you a visit.”

"Hehe, is that so?" Mr. [Mosido] seemed a little more cheerful.

Xie Nan then added, "My two friends happened to be here to handle some business, so we came together. They're not familiar with the procedures here, so please don't mind!"

“So it’s your friend…” Mr. Mosido frowned first, then looked thoughtful, then suddenly his shoulders trembled slightly, and then he looked up at the smiling Xie Nan, “…Alright, I’ll go and negotiate some more. You guys wait here and don’t go away.”

Seeing the rule-abiding Mr. Mosido hurriedly run inside carrying a huge stack of documents, Raphael exclaimed incredulously, "Godmother, you really know it? It actually gave you face!"

Xie Nan rolled her eyes in annoyance. "My old bastard father didn't even recognize those brothers who shot their loads on the wall. How could I possibly recognize it? It's not because of me, it's just because of money!"

Raphael's face immediately fell.

A glint of light flashed in September's eyes. "What was that thing you just slipped under the table to it?"

"An anonymous gift card containing the essence of 50,000 small worlds." Xie Nan shrugged. "Remember to reimburse me later."

“Fifty thousand? You actually bribed him?” [September] said in a deep voice, “According to banking regulations, Mosido’s behavior is enough to warrant his dismissal.”

"And then what?" Xie Nan casually crossed his legs and sat down. "You report it, get someone else to handle your business, and then you're stuck here again?"

[September] suddenly fell silent, as if it had gone mad. It adhered to procedural justice, but that didn't mean it didn't understand human beings—Miss Nan said it was very likely to happen.

"I never imagined that with the size of the Void Bank, the employees would be so corrupt," September sighed. "When Raphael's parents came to conduct business, the atmosphere was completely different."

Xie Nan rolled her eyes again. "Back then, her parents came with the aura of being direct descendants of the Abrier royal family, right? They were surrounded by good people, isn't that normal?"

[September] Silence again.

Even Xie Nan couldn't help but feel worried... [September] displayed extraordinary wisdom and knowledge during [Azure] time, didn't she?

But is this all it is in the end?

Could a mere branch employee really trip it up?

Xie Nan couldn't help but wonder if, without being approached, someone of [September's] level who had only brought Raphael, an orphan, back to the [Science Side] had truly been able to outmaneuver the old silver coins of the [Abriel] Royal Family.

“I’ve learned something, I’ll pay attention to these details in the future,” [September] suddenly said, her tone very sincere.

"Raphael, I'm not saying I, as your godmother, haven't taught you anything!" Xie Nan shrugged, looking at the green-haired Raphael with a smile, and said, "Here's a free piece of advice for you: abandon your personal morality and enjoy your life as a loser!"

"..."

……

In short... Mr. Mosido returned quickly, his forehead beaded with sweat, and brought back the department's credentials.

"For this lady's sake, I practically begged until my throat was dry before I reluctantly agreed to let you pass! Don't let it happen again!"

Thus, under Xie Nan's tutelage, the incredibly quick-learning [September] simply used money to pave the way, completing the 100% authentication of the trust documents in less than half a day.

When Raphael held the enormous certificate of a lord of a territory in his hand, he was completely dumbfounded...

She used to only feel a little safe when she was in that small room in the Crimson King's Mausoleum, but even so, she still had the shadow of death at any moment.

Now, having gone from being a royal orphan who had been living away from home, he has completed the certification process with remarkable ease, officially received his parents' inheritance, and become a very influential lord in the royal family of [Abriel]. His feelings are inevitably complicated, and he is at a loss.

"Miss Nan, this transaction cost a total of 3.97 million Small World Origin Units. Please keep this safe." [September] casually transferred an amount of Origin Units to Xie Nan.

He didn't have these on hand; he borrowed them from Xie Nan first. Only after Raphael completed the certification and successfully inherited his parents' property did he have the money to be reimbursed.

Xie Nan accepted it without hesitation.

After all, their large vault had just been breached not long ago, so they naturally didn't care about these things.

I just glanced at the account balance that Raphael inherited, and even someone as worldly-wise as Xie Nan couldn't help but feel his heart race a little!
As expected of an alien princess who possesses the right to inherit three top-tier galactic territories, her wealth level is incomparable to that of a commoner!

The key point is that this time, [September] brought Raphael here to unlock only one of the three super-grade galaxies, [Ether Galaxy]!
Of the three super-class river systems that Raphael can inherit, one will be automatically acquired after she comes of age—Ah Nan is unsure how to calculate whether Raphael has come of age. As for the remaining river system, it was not unlocked this time.

It's probably because September is on guard against me.

Because only this [Ether Galaxy] was written into the agreement she signed with [September]—she was allowed to occupy 32% of the [Ether Galaxy].

How can I continue to collect gold coins from this adorable goddaughter?
After all, there are still two top-tier river systems waiting for them as a safety net...

"Godmother, why are you looking at me like that... Godmother..."

Ah Nan smiled and put her arm around Raphael's shoulder. "Raphael, you've now inherited your parents' billions. It's a completely different story now, you know?"

"Uh……"

“You’ll be going out in public from now on. You may be an ordinary person, but your clothes can’t be ordinary!” Xie Nan said seriously. “Just like your godmother, my upper body may look ordinary, but my lower body is definitely not ordinary, understand?”

"what?"

"Come, let me give you my opinion and help you make some changes," Xie Nan said solemnly. "It will definitely bring out your royal princess's noble air perfectly... So, let's go on a shopping spree!"

Raphael looked at September again, bewildered.

One is her newly recognized godmother, and the other is her direct "adoptive mother"—she listens to [September]!

[September] pondered and said, "Listen to your godmother, Raphael. I can only impart knowledge to you and offer advice. But your godmother can impart the wisdom to you to become a king. Listen to her life experience more often in the future; it will only benefit you."

“The wisdom of a king…” Raphael was stunned for a moment, feeling a heavy burden suddenly fall on him, and said nervously, “I, I understand, I… I will listen to my godmother.”

……

……

……

……

[Science side], [Abriel]... Ancestral planet, [Marindor].

This is the birthplace of the Abrier family, witnessing the prosperity of this family's population, from a clan to a royal family, and now to the imperial family.

The Royal Family of Abriel spared no expense in building Marindo. Leaving aside the Royal Knights, the strongest Royal Knights of Abriel, the strictness of their defenses was enough to make most of the immortal powerhouses under the Sun tremble in fear.

Within the royal court, a palace attendant hurried into the office of Prince Atesliya, who currently wields great power within the Abrieel royal family.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

Arteslia, who was handling official business, couldn't help but frown... As the coronation ceremony drew near, the entire city of Marindo became unusually tense.

The ceremony for the new emperor's ascension to the throne was extremely important, and many other dominant forces from the Void side were invited to attend.

They gave them plenty of face; although their respective leaders couldn't come in person, they sent highly respected and influential representatives.

In short, everyone in the Royal Family of Abriel felt very comfortable and looked forward to that day – even though they were busy as dogs, they were all smiles every day.

"Your Highness Atesliya, there is an urgent document from [Thousand Stars] Port!" The eunuch stepped forward immediately.

“Read,” His Highness Atesliya said calmly.

"Yes...yes, someone has gone through the Imperial Union Covenant process and completed the lord certification for a territory in one of our star systems. Just now, they officially became the legal owner of that territory..."

"Imperial Union Covenant Procedure?" [Ateslia] was taken aback for a moment, then frowned. "Which blind fool had to choose this time... Hmph, isn't this just adding fuel to the fire for the Empire? Wait, were there any recent fiefdoms granted? I don't recall any?"

"This...this was granted out a long time ago." The eunuch swallowed hard. "It's...it's the [Ether Galaxy]..."

"ether……"

Prince Artesleia's gaze suddenly seemed to dart away, and he sat motionless in his chair for a long while before solemnly taking the urgent intelligence document from the eunuch's hands and carefully examining it.

After a long silence, Ateslia finally let out a slow breath and said calmly, "Who else knows about this?"

"I came to report to you as soon as I received the document, Your Highness!" the eunuch hurriedly said. "You are the first in the royal court to know about this so far! But... but it should be soon that everyone will know."

[Atesliya] suddenly looked at the eunuch, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Your Highness?" The eunuch's heart skipped a beat.

“You did very well this time,” Prince Artesliu said calmly. “You may leave now. I will handle the rest. But I don’t want to hear a word about today’s events… Go to the Imperial Treasury to collect your reward.”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

……

After closing the door and letting out a soft sigh, the eunuch finally calmed his heart, which had been pounding with tension.

"I never imagined that Princess Utina and the orphan of that prince would... Will the difficulty of this coronation ceremony really change?"

The eunuch muttered to himself as he went to the storeroom to collect his reward, and then... that was the end of it.

From this day forward, no trace of this person will be found in the royal court.
