My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

511-515

It seemed like Payge had returned from the Royal Academy early. It was apparent that he was not taking her classes seriously. If he could not inherit the family’s business or become a soldier in the future, Constantine’s family would decline sooner or later.

With that thought in mind, Constantine walked to the manor’s entrance with a serious expression. “Payge, what are you holding in your hand?”

“Father, why are you here?”

When Payge heard his father’s voice, he subconsciously raised his head; he looked guilty. He subconsciously placed the giant box behind him. That scene made Constantine even more curious about the thing in his hand.

“Payge, I’m talking to you. What is in that box? Answer me.”

“N-nothing.”

“Nothing? If it’s nothing, why don’t you let me see it? Open it. Don’t make me repeat myself. ”

Payge hesitated. After a long while, he reluctantly opened the box, revealing the things inside.

The box was full of gold coins. The heavy coins made a clattering sound as the box was opened. Many rolled out of the box and fell to the ground.

The shiny gold coins reflected the sun’s light, causing Constantine to be dazzled. “What’s going on? Payge, where did you get so much money? Did you steal them?”

Constantine roughly estimated that there were at least one million gold coins. Their entire family’s property was only worth ten million gold coins. The gold coins in Payge’s hands were equivalent to one-tenth of their family’s assets. Constantine did not believe that Payge could obtain so much money through proper channels. He also did not know what illegal methods his son had used to obtain such a large amount of money. Payge had really disappointed him.

“Father, I did not steal these gold coins. Someone else gave them to me.”

“Oh? Tell me, who would be so kind as to give you one million gold coins?”

“It’s Watson. He gave me the money.”

“Watson? The kingdom’s strongest genius? The person who had caused such an uproar in the city? Watson, the heir to the throne?”

“That’s right. It’s him.”

Payge nodded. He had just left the Severed Fingers Gang’s headquarters and had received a large sum of money. He wanted to put the money at home immediately, but he did not expect his father to know about it. He did not plan to say anything about him working for Watson. He was a low-profile person, and Watson had reminded him to keep it a secret.

It was difficult to explain how he had received a million gold coins in one go. In addition, he had to keep the potion secret. The best way he could think of was to hide the gold coins and not tell his family. At that moment, he thought about how he could explain it to his father.

Payge’s hesitation looked suspicious to Constantine.

“Payge, I’ve always taught you that it’s okay if you don’t have the ability. However, you don’t know how to improve yourself. Such an attitude will never get you far in life! You’ve never had any special hobbies other than eating since you were young. Previously, I supported you in becoming a student at the Royal Academy because I thought you finally had something you wanted to do. Now, it seems like I’ve indulged you far too much. From now on, you don’t have to go to the Royal Academy. Anyway, with your talent, you won’t become an elite even if you graduate from the Royal Academy. It’s better for you to stay home and learn about food manufacturing. At least in the future, the family won’t be in decline because of you.”
