Chapter 207 - Priceless Gifts

Guan Xixin stared at his grandfather with wide eyes. Guan Xixin was the most favored one among the three grandsons of Master Guan. And there was a reason for that, he had brains and talent to bring the Guan Empire to a greater future. However, Guan Xixin doesn\'t have any desire to lead the empire. He wanted his older brother, the hard-working Guan Guri to lead the empire while he was supporting at the back. For the third one, Guan Gao Huan, Guan Xixin was full of suspicious of him.

But now his brain that he was proud of had turned blank for a moment.

He knew how his grandfather was closed to the head of the Xiong family, but he was shocked that his grandfather actually allowed another person outside of the Guan family to owned even one percent of the Guan Empire! Not only that, it was a Xiong! A Xiong who could afford any amount that was thrown into them.

Buying a share..was really possible for a Xiong!

What was his grandfather was planning?!

Guan Xixin\'s mind calculated all the pros and cons. But all of them turned into benefits for the Xiong Empire. The Guan empire would only receive a small benefits for a greater cause.

\'Then maybe?\'

Guan Xixin knew that his grandfather was experienced. He would not give that shares easily.

The Guan family was called a snake for some reason.

Guan Xixin calmed down himself. He then turned to Xiong Zhi.

Who was she that his grandfather put so much hope into her? She just debuts today but the road that the elder gave her was so wide and long. She could reach any ground with just the gifts of the elders that were given to her.

Xiong Zhi woke up from her daze. She thanked Old Guan.

"Thank You, Godfather. I am very honored to receive such priceless gifts."

Xiong Zhi also felt that there was something more on that gift. But no matter what, as the conditions were not yet stated on how she would buy the shares, she would take this opportunity. She would collect many cards as much as she can for the big play that was about to come.

The elders at the side also looked dubiously to Master Guan. They have their own speculations in their mind.

Master Lu tsked. Mistress Tang just sighed. And Old Xiong just smiled meaningfully.

After the Guan presented their gifts, Master Lu came forward.

"Lu Yin Ze, come here." Master Lu called Lu Yin Ze first. Lu Yin Ze walked to the front.

"My future daughter in law, I gifted my grandson to you, freely."

Gasped. It was the gasped of the audience. But the loudest gasped came from Lu Yin Ze.

"Grandpa!" Lu Yin Ze turned red. Was he called here in the front to be embarrassed?

Mistress Tang sighed and commented.

"If I had two grandsons, I would also offer one and joined the competition. We would surely win for sure." Mistress Tang sighed in disappointment. Tang Xinyang just glanced at her grandmother and smiled awkwardly to Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi went speechless again. What\'s with everyone today? Why everyone seemed to want to give their grandson to her?

"I am not joking. Yin Ze, are you willing to slave under her? I have done that with your grandmother. I won her love then."

The three elders just rolled their eyes.

Xiong Zhi looked at her grandfather to ask for help.

Her grandfather received her stare and understood it.

"You are making my granddaughter disgusted! Just present your gift!"

"I am presenting my gift now!" Then Master Lu turned serious.

"That snake just copied me. My first gift is to be your godfather."

The visitors looked at Xiong Zhi with envy. Two mighty godfathers. No, that makes three with Old Xiong.

Having a godfather from the legendary family was the greatest luck that one could achieve in one\'s lifetime.

Having a godfather meant that she could use their name, their reputation, fame, and their authority whenever she wanted.

In short, Xiong Zhi was not just a person with the title of the heiress of the Xiong Empire, but she was also a favored person of the Guan family and the Lu family. Who could turn against her? She held immense authority now. Xiong Zhi looked at the elders with a deep gaze. No one knows what those eyes were thinking.

"My second gift is my grandson, you have my blessings to marry him." Lu Yin Ze\'s red face avoided Xiong Zhi\'s eyes. He was really embarrassed.

"And my third gift is this." Master Lu handed a cardholder. There was a black card within.

Xiong Zhi accepted it. She knew what this black card meant. It was the access card not only for Luxury hotel but every hotel in the Lu Empire.

The Lu was known as the biggest Empire who owned so much land. The Lu family owned more land among the three legendary families. And the land was a very precious asset that increased its value over time. That\'s where the Lu\'s empire get their resources. Hotels was their second-biggest assets. The Lu empire was the king of hotels. So having this black card was really a luxury that only the main family of Lu\'s could get.

(a/n: refer chap 110, there was red, green, golden, and black member. Black card represents black member. This was the highest authority one can have. )

Xiong Zhi was about to thank Master Lu for this gift when Master Lu continued to speak.

"And lastly," The visitors held their breaths. There was still more?

A butler came forward with papers.

"I am transferring 2% shares of the Lu empire to you."

Gasped. This time all of them gasped. Including Xiong Zhi.

2%.

2% looked small if compared to 100%. But that was if they were talking in simple numbers. But this 2% included the whole Lu Empire who gathered money and resources for three hundred years like the Xiong Empire. This 2% meant billions.

The great gift of approving permission to let Xiong Zhi buy the Guan\'s shares looked small now compared to the gift of Master Lu who transferred the whole 2% of the Lu Empire freely to Xiong Zhi. This was a great comparison.

Everyone turned speechless. This was really insane.

Old Xiong looked at Master Lu with a complex gaze. Wanting to understand what was the reasons behind such actions. They were not in good terms, so why he was giving such a priceless and a-beyond-comprehension-gift? Was his grandson had such intentions* to his granddaughter? Old Xiong gazed at Lu Yin Zhe then. But seeing that so familiar face, he looked away.

(a/n: * - he is talking about love intentions/interest)

"Cough. " Master Lu coughed to get everyone\'s attention.

"Of course, there are conditions. This is detailed in the contract. I will let you sign it later."

Xiong Zhi accepted it with a somewhat daze expression.

No matter what the reason behind transferring the 2% shares to her, she could not think what kind of benefit the Lu would have. It was so generous..no..it was more than that word to describe it for Master Lu to give this gift to her. Xiong Zhi somehow could not believe it.

So she would make sure to read the conditions later. Maybe, she would find it then.

She bowed and thanked Master Lu.

"Thank You, Master Lu. This one is priceless and I might not be a deserving person to receive it now. But I will do my best to be one later." Xiong Zhi promised this. She was planning to help the Lu family after all. They would be in the same boat along the way. She doesn\'t know what kind of retribution this Lu family would face later on. But owning 2% of their empire would be a good start for her.

Master Lu just smiled. He might be called insane for giving 2% freely to an outsider. But he had his own reason.

The whole area was silent as they could still not believe what just happened.

Old Xiong stood up and walked in front. It was now his turn.

This time, he would give his speech.

"I would like to thank everyone on behalf of my granddaughter for coming here. Especially to the three heads of Guan, Tang, and Lu family. We are grateful for your gifts."

Old Xiong sincerely thanks the elders. Since those gifts were really precious, he decided to be serious in thanking them. All of it was a great benefit for the Xiong Empire.

"My granddaughter is shy when it comes to facing the crowd." Xiong Zhi\'s attention turned to her grandfather. She was thinking of the possible cons of the gift of Master Lu when Old Xiong mentioned her. She thought he would talk about the glory of the Xiong Empire but surprisingly, it was all about her. She did not expect that.

"So you see, her birthday, this day held special meaning aside that she was brought to this world seventeen years ago, but it also symbolized the fact she was facing the true world as the heiress of the Xiong family right now. "

All eyes were all on Old Xiong. Even the eyes of someone who was watching in the distance.

"Everyone, meet my granddaughter, the heiress of the Xiong Empire, Xiong Zhi."

Old Xiong introduced her like it was her first time being here. The visitors all stood up and clapped for her. Xiong Zhi don\'t know what to do. So she just looked at them and stayed on her seat.

Old Xiong continued to speak.

"You are very lucky. As you witness today how a legendary figure is introduced to our society. I know Zhi\'er would accomplish things and would bring the entire Xiong Empire to greater heights."

The heads of the three families stared at Old Xiong deeply. They were holding their breaths. They seemed to know what Old Xiong was going to say or going to do today.

"I hereby announce, that this day, my granddaughter would be the official heir of the Xiong Empire. "

"...."

Silence.

Unbelievable silence.

Xiong Zhi\'s eyes wide turned wide.

Even the elders who were far experienced looked incredibly at Old Xiong, wondering if the Old Xiong they were seeing today was the same Old Xiong they knew.
