Back at Home

The moment he walked through the gates he got surrounded by guards that proceeded to escort him to the palace. They obviously knew of his status by his looks and the royal crest he is wearing, but also that a few of them have a seal on them.

Instead of heading straight back to the palace he decides to look around first since he arrived early in the morning. He first stops by some of his buisnesses such as the adventures guild and the pill shop he has.

He checks in with the managers to make sure no problems where happening and was given updates on the progress of the business. For the adventures guild he was told how they have expanded even more and now have a branch in every city in the empire and most of the towns, while also having managed to create a stable foothold in the other 2 empires.

Although the Xiangling empire which is the direct enemies of this empire have been causing some trouble, using the connection with the enslaved prince they have over their allowed them to gain a backer and set up safely.

The Fanglung empire which was neutral with this empire didn't cause as many problems and a successful start up happened pretty quick and expansion to other cities in that empire has already begun.

His pill business has also been just as popular with it now being the number one supplier of high-quality pills in the empire. This was a business strategy he came up with as to only sell high quality pills. There are already a lot of pill buisnesses and if her where to sell his low and mid level pills it would make all of them go out of business including the one owned by his family.

This would incur a lot of hate and lots of enemies that would constantly cause trouble. So instead, what he did was keep his stock to high quality pills which where rare on the market and had a very high demand.

This allowed him a unique area of sales without affecting the normal pill buisnesses. Although many still caused trouble which caused their buisnesses to be seized, many signed a deal saying that they wouldn't sell below high-quality pills while they wouldn't sell above mid quality pills allowing each their own markets to make money.

The same strategy was employed when the business expanded to outside the empire as well and they have managed to gain a stable foothold in each of the 3 empires as the sole reliable pill shop to sell high quality pills.

Their main buyers are sects and prominent family's but they also have cheaper pills on a separate floor for mercenary's and other less wealthy people while still keeping the high quality.

Happy with the report of the buisnesses he checks on his restaurant Halls of Valhalla to see how the expansion is going for them as he plans to have a smaller restaurant in each city and a big one in each major city.

When he arrived at the resteraunt on top of the giant bear escorted by guards the people in the area gasped in amazement and the chatter of them trying to guess his status began.

It didn't take long before his status as the youngest prince of the empire spread around, many people knew what he look like when he arrived with the emperor on the first day of the restaurant opening.

From the manager of the restaurant, he got the statistics of the restaurants business. Most of the numbers where just normal things such as money made, profit, places they are losing money, number of incidents. The one that he was most interested in was the amount of people that fell for the trap, as he had specifically asked for it to be recorded so he can see just how dumb the people of this world are.

Looking down the list he finally sees number he was looking for. 57. Yes, 57 people have fallen for the traps in his restaurant. When he saw this number he bust out laughing at how funny it was, even the professional manager couldn't help but smirk every time he saw the number.

"Wow there are so many arrogant retards. 57 people are so arrogant they have fallen for the trap and this is only within the span of 2 months. Manger I want the name of each of these 57 and it spread around that they have an interest in guys. Then use the traps as witnesses, I want them to humiliate them for falling for something as simple as a trap. God that's amazing, I should show father this number. I bet even he wouldn't be able to resist a small laugh at the number."

After his laugh he had some breakfast on the top floor of the restaurant before leaving towards the palace.

…

It was now lunch and Fen Chang was sitting at the table chatting with his parents with little Caihong sitting on his lap as he coddles her.

When he first arrived he spoke to his parents about his trip and also has them prepare a place for Bjorne. During that talk he brought out the list of profits and other stats of his buisnesses. Fen Zung was very impressed with how his buisnesses where doing and stated that they where doing even better than their own.

The more he read the more impressed he was. Towards the end was the restaurant list and he cracked a smile when he saw the trap number, before having a guilty expression at how traumatised these poor fellows must be after having fallen for the trap.

After the serious business talk, they had they decided to catch up like a family over lunch.

After lunch little Caihong steals away Fen Chang under the curious eyes of their parents, as she drags him to her room.

Once in the room she looks like she is about to explode and being understanding of her personality he calls the shadows to leave.

The moment he gives the all clear she jumps straight at him with her face directly connecting with his as she goes in for a kiss. With him having to hold up her body as she greedily gets lost in the pleasures of a kiss it takes a few minutes before she separates from lack of air.

Her face red she once again goes in but this time she keeps it just to a hug as she just clings around his neck like a necklace. She starts to talk about her she was worried and how lonely she felt with him being that long, to which he just comforted her before brightening her mood by showing off some of the presents he got her.

"Little Caihong I know you where probably quite sad while I was gone but occurrences like this aren't going to be rare. I need to train to get stronger and gain experience. Don't worry though when you're a bit older I can take you with me but you would also have to be quite strong or even I won't allow it let along mother and father."

Hearing that she has a chance to go with him if she gets stronger, she happily tightens her hug even more.

"Don't think I forgot about you during my training though. I got you some presents. Unless of course you don't want them?"

She panics and gets off his neck as she looks at him with expectant eyes.

"No big brother, I want my gifts. They are gifts from big brother, I will accept anything you give me."

"Okay then. I have 2 gifts for you."

He then brings out a small box the size of the average mobile phone. It was wrapped up in pink paper with a ribbon wrapped around it.

With his permission she hurriedly grabs the present and starts to undo the ribbon, before creating a mess ripping off the paper. Beneath the paper is a dark black box with a small metal hook keeping it closed.

She moves the hook to undo the latch and opens the lid. Inside is a beautiful golden bracelet which although looks to be made out of solid metal, still moves like silk.

"This is your first gift. It is a bracelet made from gold which was then refined into pieces of silk and then weaved into a bracelet."

"Its beautiful big brother. Now what's my next present?"

Seeing her have the usual excitedness over a present and then putting all thoughts of feelings for it behind just so they can be excited for the next present caused him to sigh at how she still hasn't matured.

He once again brings out another box shaped item, this time however it was draped over with a cloth.

She removed the cloth to reveal a cute pink leather pack with a handle on top. Inside the pack made her shriek with excitement, as inside was a beautiful snow-white cat.

"This is an Obsidian Clawed Snow Lynx. It is a new born and still very young. It has the potential to grow to at least a rank 3 beast but with enough support and resources it could even reach rank 4. I expect you to take good care of it."

She once again jumps on him expressing her excitement and thankfulness, but like the kid she is she just wants to start petting her new cat instead of showing her thankfulness.

"Ok I have to leave now as I need to speak to mother and father once again but before I go, I will leave you a list of instructions on how to take care of it and you should also think of a name."

Her small head looked at the lynx that was staring at her with innocence and happiness as she knitted her brows thinking of a good name.
