Nightshade Family Secret.

Victor Publishers is a corporation founded by his family. It is named after his grandfather. Henry leads the company.

"Mr. Henry, our company has distribution networks throughout the country."

"Yes, boss."

Henry was sweating profusely. Victor publishers print publications about universities, schools, and other topics. It was small in the context of the broader Nightshade family enterprise.

Ethan took the manuscript and gave it to him.

"Read it briefly and give me your honest opinion." Henry began to look over briefly.

"John, where do you live?"

"New York, Boss."

"Do you have any connections to the bank?"

"Yes, Boss."

"I had some gold that I planned to sell."

"OK, boss."

"How long will it take to complete the company review, boss?"

"10-15 days."

"So quick."

"We are professionals, boss, and you can look at our information."

Ethen bought this group of lawyers swiftly and did not observe details. When he looked at the details, he was amazed once more.

Every one of them is an expert in all country laws, civil or criminal, is extremely highly intelligent, fluent in all major languages, and possesses exceptional convincing skills. Ethan understands that each of them is a prodigy in law.

"I am done, Boss."

Ethan turned to Henry and asked.

"What do you think?"

"A good book, and it'll be a success."

Ethan knows Henry is flattering. That thing was just a draft. Ethan took a photocopy of the original book and presented it to Henry.

"This is the entire book, and I need it to be spread throughout the country."

Ethan only wrote the first part, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which was approximately 400 pages long. Henry peered at the book, perplexed. He assumed that Ethan would ask him to prepare the book. He didn't realize Ethan had prepared the book.

The book was lovely, with beautiful artwork and an attractive stone photo in the center of the cover. Ethan handed him $10 million for the book's creation and advertising. Ethan issued an order, stating that if it is not finished, he will lose his position as head. He also instructed John to monitor everything.

After that, Ethan led John to the storage wing. In the second month, he received 1000 tons of gold from two-week sign-ins as well as a genetic serum. All that remained were money, jewels, and a few free attributes.

"John, the total was 1,000 tons of gold. You can either sell or lend it."

"All of the gold is legitimate, and that suitcase contains the necessary documents." John glanced at the dazzling gold in front of him and wasn't amazed.

"OK, boss."

Ethan nodded and headed to his bedroom, where he noticed William standing with a box. William was present when he met with all of the business leaders. He exited the room in the middle of the meeting.

"William, where have you been?"

"Master, I went to get something."

William handed the box to Ethan. The box was composed of pure silver.

"Young master, "Your grandfather requested me to give you this."

"As for the key, it was among your birthday possessions."

His grandfather would give him birthday presents on each of his birthdays. His grandfather gifted it to him on his birthday, telling him it was a magic box that he should not open. But Ethan couldn't understand anything, so he played with it and tried to open it multiple times. After that, his grandfather hid it. Ethan took the box and opened it; inside was a silver key.

He took the silver key and opened the silver box, which contained two keys. The box contains a letter and two old keys.

"Ethan, if you are reading this, it means you have recovered. These two keys hold our family's secret. My father handed it to me and advised me to open it if our family was in crisis. If you open it for any reason other than a crisis, it may lead to another crisis. I hope you use it properly. "Love you, Ethan."

"The secret is in the study room, behind our paintings." This was the final sentence.

After reading the letter, Ethan entered the study room. Ethan isn't concerned about the problem. He studied the study room carefully. He examined the paintings of all the Nightshade family heads from each generation. He examined his grandfather's painting and removed it.

There is a concealed iron safe. He picked a single key and opened it. There is a box and a letter. The letter included only words indicating that only Nightshade family blood could open it. He picked another and tried to open it, but it did not open. Ethan tried again, but it was ineffective.

Ethan read the lines again, and he considered the system that was reacting to the blood. He sliced his finger, dripped blood on the key, and tried again. This time, he did not open it, but he could hear the system's voice.

"Detecting space storage...Do you want to establish a connection...?"

When Ethan heard system words, his face got strange. He thought about it and decided to do it.

A black ring appeared on his fingers, and information concerning it appeared. The ring has a total area of around one million cubic meters, and a mental cultivation method appeared in his head. If he wishes to open the ring, he must first practice the cultivation method. Ethan has different ways to open the ring.

"System, can you open the ring?"

"Yes."

"Consuming 100 TP points...removing restrictions on the ring..."

Ethan sensed the space in the ring. The entire space is filled with antiques, paintings, statues, seats, gold, silver, porcelains, artwork, instruments, and literature. The most prominent guns used in 1800 were piled like hills. He also discovered a variety of desires on the stones, which were symbolic. There was also a stack of books that were beautifully kept.

He instructed the system to decipher it. According to the information in the books, the ring originated in the sun and was initially obtained by the Nightshade family's ancestors around 1600 years ago. His ancestor was a tribal man from a European country. After getting the ring, he practiced the technique and swiftly rose. He established a little kingdom, and the ring was passed to the next generation.

At the time, the Nightshade kingdom was prosperous, and a fierce fight raged for the throne. The king's second son revolted for the throne. The king has no choice but to put his eldest son in hiding. At that time, the king presented the ring to his eldest son and revealed his secrets.

The eldest son and an entourage of others crossed the seas and arrived in South America. This time, his ancestors did not build a kingdom but surreptitiously governed tribal people, allowing them to become popular. He did this initially out of concern that his brother would discover him, but he later understood it was best for his family to remain in the shadows. Although they don't know about the ring, if the rest of the world does, there would be a bloody war for it.

Later, the ring was passed down to his successors, who were cautioned not to draw attention to themselves. Following that, it persisted from generation to generation. When Europeans arrived, the family got alarmed and hid in secrecy. The tribal people under His family's influence fought on multiple occasions with Europeans.

They would have won multiple times if they had focussed on the war, but the Nightshade family chose not to. First, his family recognized that the world was changing and that they would interact with more people. That family decided to become landlords. In the past, his family controlled practically all of Texas' agricultural property.

The Nightshade family benefited the most from the Texas Revolution, which founded Texas as a republic and then merged it into America. After that, the Nightshade family became prominent landlords in Texas until the Civil War. When the civil war began, neither side was losing, and to be honest, his family had the upper hand. After that, they can take out their arms from the space ring whenever they wish.

Following that, his Great-Great-Great-Grandfather compromised and negotiated with the American authorities. After the civil war ended, his family decided to keep a low profile and drastically reduced their property ownership.

After that, his grandfather Victor received the ring, and his father instructed him to unlock it only when the family was in crisis. His grandfather wanted to open it multiple times to discover a treatment for him, but he decided not to.

After reading the contents, Ethan relaxed, believing it was a major secret and it was merely a space ring. His sole concern is where the ring came from. When he asked the system, it just told him that he did not have enough authority to know. According to his ancestor's written information, the ring originated from the sun, implying it came from space. Perhaps there may be additional magical civilizations in this universe, or it came from another universe, like his system.

Ethan studied the details that his Great-Great-Grandfather had negotiated with the government. The first is having a stock exchange in the southern states, and the second is having some crucial locations for Nightshade family members in government. The third proposal involved mining rights on their land, family business, and a private army for protection, but it was rejected. After repeated agreements, Nightshade's family can employ private guards for their safety and have the authority to kill. Of course, they must provide an equitable explanation for the killing.

Ethan took another look at the family collections, which were all beautifully preserved. This ring performs a static function. They were in the same condition when they were placed in the ring.

Finally, he examined the mental method that is employed to develop mental strength. After some practice, they can produce mental seeds and implant them in other bodies. This was the method his family used to control the population of tribes. Creating mental seeds imposes a certain cost on the body, and it also varies on the individual.

Ethan has to thank his family for spreading false information about them. Everyone in the world believes that his family came to America when the Europeans did. Only the family leaders who inherited the ring are aware that they existed before the Europeans.

This was also deliberate control since they were afraid that their original family would locate them. Because the Kingdom that his family previously controlled was still there. It is also a major European country. Ethan had read the name of that country in history books written by his family members, and in the ring, he discovered that it was the kingdom that his ancestors ruled over.

***********************************

While Ethan was looking into his history, all of his information had been passed on to all of the country's powerful families. The media also received news and information on him; however, there were no images. 

After all, inheriting a large sum of money is a big deal. Every family wants to know whether it's a friend or an adversary. When they saw Ethan's information, they scoffed and showed no interest. They treated him very lightly.

Only one individual in a European kingdom considered the information seriously. He had a heavy expression as he glanced at the setting sun.
