I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

It was afternoon and the Sheldon family's performance review meeting officially began.

When Leon arrived at the conference room, most of the people were already seated.

The first patriarch, Ivers, the cheap father just glanced at him and paid no more attention to him.

The butler, Old Payton, who was standing behind Ivers, bowed slightly to Leon as a sign of respect, and Leon politely returned the greeting.

His father was not enthusiastic, but his third uncle Jin Weiss was very warm to him and wanted to invite him to sit next to him.

In addition, there is his half-brother Dick, his sister Penny, his cousin Rudin, his cousin Terry Young, and his cousin Maggie.

The above are the main members of this Sheldon family meeting.

The others are either married or dead.

For example, Leon's aunt married into a small wizard family.

My second uncle even lost his life in a fight on the other side of the strait in his early years.

The person currently in charge of the work on the other side of the strait is my second uncle’s eldest son Howard.

Of course, Leon has several cousins, but they are either underage or have no property of their own, so they are naturally not qualified to come to the meeting room.

After waiting for a while, the two family members who did not come, Poole and Clayson, also sent their trusted men to attend the meeting in their place.

When the butler, Old Payton, saw that everyone was present, he first instructed his son, Little Payton, to serve tea and snacks to everyone one by one, and then he took the initiative to call out the names of the two subordinates who were attending the meeting on their behalf.

"I remember you were Little Tom, who worked for Lord Poole. Did Lord Poole give you any instructions?"

Poole is Ivers's cousin. He is a rebellious person. He once had a big argument with Ivers at a meeting, and later he rarely attended performance review meetings in person.

Little Tom didn't dare to sit down and answer. He stood up respectfully and said, "Master, Lord Poole told me to give you this document. In addition, Lord Poole also said something..."

Little Tom hesitated, then mustered up the courage to continue, "'The Green family has been very restless lately. You'd better take action, or I won't be responsible for your loss'..."

There was silence in the meeting room, and then Ivers snorted coldly, but didn't say anything. Old Payton smiled and asked little Tom to sit down.

By the way, he also gave little Tom an encouraging look.

Leon watched this scene with great interest, and he admired little Tom.

You know, Ivers was notoriously bad at treating his subordinates, and he had even executed several subordinates who were incompetent.

Then, old Payton asked Plans, the remaining subordinate of Clayson, to report the situation.

Clayson is Ivers' cousin, and Plank is Clayson's nephew. Strictly speaking, Plank and the Shelton family have some blood relationship.

Plans didn't perform any better than little Tom.

Of course, this also has to do with the content of his report.

Plans made a long speech, but it all came down to two words: money.

Claessen lives a luxurious life, but his management skills are poor, and his territory needs family support every year.

After Plans finished speaking, he sat down awkwardly and acted like a coward.

Because he was often asked for money, Clayson was embarrassed to come himself and had to ask someone else to attend the meeting on his behalf.

In addition, fearing that his men would be beaten to death by his cousin Ivers, Clayson would always send relatives to participate.

The effect was very good. Although Ivers was very angry every time, he always endured it. After all, they were relatives and they were all juniors. Ivers would be crazy to argue with these juniors.

After a brief discussion, Ivers decided to give Clayson 2000 gold shields of support.

This is not a small amount of money. You should know that 1 gold shield is equal to 100 silver shields, and 1 silver shield is equal to 100 bronze shields.

A gold shield weighs about 3.14 grams, and the same is true for silver and bronze shields.

One copper shield could buy two or three sticks of black bread, which, if lived frugally, could provide basic food for two or three people for a day.

Black bread is mixed with many sundries, such as grain husks, roots, stems and leaves from which grains grow, and sometimes even weeds, leaves or bark...

Therefore, black bread was mostly eaten by the poor. Even the dogs raised by nobles... were unwilling to eat this kind of bread that needed to be soaked in water before it could be chewed.

Wealthier families would mostly choose soft white bread, but one copper coin could only buy a small piece of white bread.

And if Clayson wanted to eat some Warcraft meat, he would definitely not be able to do it without a few gold shields.

To hold a banquet, you need dozens or even hundreds of gold shields.

……

Of course, the purchasing power of currency also fluctuates. When the purchasing power decreases, it is considered good if one copper shield can buy a piece of black bread.

"Shield" was the original currency unit of the SHIELD Kingdom. Although the SHIELD Kingdom has collapsed into countless small countries, the currency unit has been retained.

There is no way not to preserve it, because after so many years of circulation, the Golden Shield has become a memory engraved in people's bones.

The SHIELD Kingdom has been passed down for more than 100,000 years. If it weren't for the arrival of the "Elemental Silence Age" tens of thousands of years ago, perhaps the SHIELD Kingdom would still be able to continue to rule the continent.

The SHIELD Kingdom has protected the Terun continent for countless years, and Terun was the first king.

That’s right, Terun from Terun Continent.

Teren was a genius. He rose from a pawn to a king, and from a king to a god, leaving behind countless legends.

In order to protect this interface from being invaded by outsiders, Tren named the dynasty Aegis, hoping that it could act like a shield to maintain peace and stability on the continent.

In short, the Golden Shield can circulate in all continents.

Whether it is the Vis Islands where the Shadow Swamp is located, the Solotel Continent across the strait, or the many islands in the Boundless Sea, they are all using gold and silver shields.

Not to mention the Oria Continent, where the former site of the SHIELD Kingdom is located. It is said that the Angel Empire is still issuing new gold shields and recycling damaged currency...

The Angel Empire inherited most of the legacy of the SHIELD Kingdom, and the Angels are the royal family of the SHIELD Kingdom.

Of course, most of the new kingdoms also issued their own currencies, but their circulation was limited.

Either it is only used within the country, or if it is used on a larger scale, it is circulated in surrounding areas.

But in order to be used throughout the entire continent, or even the entire world, the king must become a god.

……

Plans was very happy to receive 2000 gold shields in support. Although it was still some distance away from the 20,000 gold shields that Claesson expected, Plans felt that it was good enough.

Maybe this time when I go back, I will be rewarded with a few beauties.

Claessen has a humorous nickname, "The Whip Queen."

This was because he had hundreds of women under his command, and in order to tame them, he always wielded a whip, and even beat many women to death for this.

Leon didn't like his behavior at all, but there was one thing about Clayson that was similar to Leon's values: Clayson liked orcs very much.

This is also the reason why he doesn't want to stay in the family. As long as Ivers is there, the orcs will never be able to enter the Shelton family's door.

One of Clayson's businesses was the slave trade.

Human slaves, orcs, half-orcs, etc. are all within the scope of trafficking.

In theory, this is a very profitable business, but the reason why Clayson is unable to make ends meet is that most of the beautiful slaves are taken into his own room.

So, how can this possibly make money...

This business seems to serve Clayson alone.

The reason why Ivers was willing to continue supporting Clayson and continue to give him money was not because of anything else, but because Clayson was the second strongest person in the family.
