Chapter 6 Trillion In Assets and Private Jets

Tyr nodded in agreement. He could not help but ask, “The Zea family had been bullying the two of you for so many years, why haven’t you cut ties with them?”

“Because blood is thicker than water. What’s more, my parents aren’t working now, and Blair needs to go to school. Although the family hates us, when I work at the Zea family’s company, they would still give me the salary I deserve.”

Tyr did not ask more. The two of them headed to the Zea family’s mansion with gifts in hand.

Inside the living room of the Zea family’s mansion, a group of family members was already seated. There were also a few tables laid out for a feast. The Zea family had prepared a banquet today, not because they wanted to welcome Tyr. It was for another young miss of the family, Iris Zea, and her boyfriend, Travis Jensen.

“You’re here.” As soon as they entered, they heard the voice of an older man. The older man was the head of the Zea family, Winifred’s grandfather, Jorge Zea.

“Grandpa.” Winifred quickly led Tyr along as they brought over the gifts they had meticulously picked out at the supermarket earlier. “Grandpa, this is something Tyr had specially picked out for you.”

“Put it aside.” Jorge never spared the gifts a glance. When he looked at Tyr, his expression was cold. “Tyr, I heard that when you came back yesterday, you beat up my servant.” Jorge’s first words were to denounce Tyr’s actions. This made Winifred feel embarrassed, and Tyr frowned.

“She made Blair eat bread from the food waste bin. She deserved a beating.”

The fat lady standing beside quickly said, “Master, don’t listen to his nonsense. He just saw that Blair looked skinny and felt great resentment for the Zea family, so he took it out on me.”

Tyr frowned. This fat lady had quite the ability to distort the truth.

“Blair is skinny because she’s picky with food. You can’t blame anyone else for this. She doesn’t deserve the life of a princess, but she acts like one.” Jorge added coldly, “Tyr Summers, you should be educating your daughter for this instead of taking it out on the Zea family’s servants.”

Anger flared up inside Tyr’s heart. Blair Zea was still Jorge Zea’s great-grandchild, no matter what. How could Jorge treat her like she was below the servants?

Beside him, Winifred noticed something odd with Tyr’s emotions. She quickly tugged at him and said, “Grandpa, Tyr knows his faults now.”

“Hmph! I don’t want to see something like this happening again.”

Just then, Jackson Zea, Jorge’s eldest son, spoke up enigmatically, “Tyr, six years ago, you were only a beggar. If it weren’t for you, Winifred would have married into a wealthy family by now. Now that you have finally returned, you have to have some money if you want to marry into the Zea family.”

At this, Jackson intentionally raised his voice to ask, “Tyr, I heard you’ve been overseas all these years. What have you been doing there? Do you have a company? Savings? Or any properties over there? What type of car do you drive?” Jackson was trying to make a fool out of Tyr. He did not believe that Tyr could ever make a name for himself outside.

Tyr cocked up an eyebrow and answered honestly, “I have an island overseas, and my assets are all over the world. I’ve never really counted my savings, but there should be a few trillion. As for the car I drive, I don’t really like cars. Outside, I travel by helicopters and have a private pilot who drives it for me. And finally, the company I’ve established is called The Regal Palace. I am the lord of The Regal Palace!”

The living room fell into complete silence. Everyone was staring with wide eyes, and their jaws dropped at Tyr, startled. Five seconds later, the room burst into a fit of thundering laughter.

“I say, Winifred, was this the man you’ve been adamant about waiting for six years?”

“Helicopters and trillions in assets. Did he mean in hell’s money?”

“‘The Regal Palace’. Is that a beggar’s company you’ve set up overseas?”

No one there believed what Tyr had said. Everyone thought he was a fool. An arrogant fool who liked to tell lies and boast. Never mind bragging, his claims were just too far-fetched and unreasonable.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Winifred’s eyes. She had spent six years waiting for Tyr. She had not hoped that he would be successful but wanted him to, at least, be steadfast and give Blair and her a cozy home. Even if that home was run-down and small, she was willing.

“Winifred, I’m not lying.” Tyr wanted to explain but was immediately cut off by Winifred.

“That’s enough, Tyr. Shut up. It’s okay if we’re poor, but we can’t lose integrity. Lying and boasting is the most immoral thing to do.”

Tyr stopped trying to explain. It was true that no one would believe him quickly with his background.

“What is it that’s making everyone laugh so happily?”

Just then, a man and woman walked in through the door. They looked to be of similar age with Tyr. The man was dressed in branded clothing, looking tall and handsome, while the woman was dressed sensually, looking very elegant.

“Travis and Iris are back.”

These two people were Iris Zea and Travis Jensen. Iris was the daughter of Winifred’s second uncle. Hence, her younger cousin sister. Travis was Iris’s boyfriend, the eldest young master of Khanh City’s pioneer in traditional medicine, Century Herb Pharmaceutical.

All of the Zea family members stood up quickly to welcome them warmly. Even Jorge was smiling brightly. Compared to how he had treated Tyr and Winifred earlier, this was a huge difference.

“Iris, Travis, come and sit down.” Jorge’s youngest daughter, Lilian Zea, rushed over to hold Iris’s hand, planning to tell her a joke. “Let me tell you, Iris. This Tyr Summers is the beggar that your cousin sister has been waiting for six years. Just now, he said that he has trillions in assets overseas and has even started up a company called ‘The Regal Palaces’.”

Iris burst out laughing. “Aunty, isn’t ‘The Regal Palace’ a place to worship the gods, Maitreya?

“I say, Winifred, the man you’ve waited for is not only a beggar but has also lost his mind!”

Hahaha… The room burst into another round of laughter. Winifred wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it, but beside her, Tyr was looking at this scene coldly. What a bunch of clowns! Uneducated fools. They don’t know how big the world is and don’t understand how frightening real authority and status can be!

Just then, Travis held an exquisite wooden box as he walked over to Jorge with a smile on his face. “Grandpa, it was a little short notice, so I’ve only prepared a small gift. I hope Grandpa, you’ll like it.” Travis opened the box to reveal a piece of wild ginseng with dense and lustrous roots. Even from a few meters, one could still smell the faint scent of this wild ginseng.

“This is…” A flash of excitement appeared in Jorge’s eyes.

Iris interrupted, saying, “Grandpa, this is Century Herb Pharmaceutical’s treasure, a piece of thirty-year-old wild ginseng is worth hundreds of thousands.”

Exclamations resonated around the room. Jorge looked extremely delighted. “Travis, you’re too kind.”

Travis smiled and said, “As long as you like it, Grandpa.”

After that, Iris looked at Tyr. “Mr. Billionaire, since you’re so rich, the gift you’ve gotten Grandpa must be priceless. Why don’t you bring it out and show us?”

“It’s just this.” Lilian pointed with disdain at the pile of supplements Winifred and Tyr had bought from the supermarket earlier.

“Just this? This is just a pile of garbage, how dare you give this to Grandpa.” Iris impolitely kicked the gifts away. “Aunt Collins, please throw this pile of garbage into the bin.”

The fat lady hummed in understanding and quickly picked up the gifts to toss into the rubbish bin.
