Chapter 249: Chapter 207 Profitable Business_2

"What did you just say?" Deng Zeng asked, his voice filled with surprise. At the moment, he was staring at his calm and collected son, who seemed to have transformed into someone entirely different. The boy was kneeling on the floor in front of his father, holding a Memory Stone in his hand.

"Just as I mentioned earlier, Father," Deng Wu said respectfully, gently pushing the gemstone, allowing a scroll of paper to unfurl in his hand.

The Memory Stone was another storage stone, albeit of low quality. The only things stored within were the blueprints for creating a water wheel and the necessary adjustments required to modify their production.

"These diagrams depict an astonishing mechanism that will enable us to harness river currents as a power source, without relying on any spiritual energy," Deng Wu decided to reiterate Yan Xiaobao’s words as he slowly approached his father and respectfully handed over the two scrolls.

A glimmer of cold light flashed in the middle-aged man’s deep black eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"A method to gain power without spiritual energy?" he repeated, evidently very pleased with his son. When Deng Zeng had requested an audience with all the elders in the clan, Deng Zengying had initially been discontented. Yet, considering his status within the family, Deng Zengying had no choice but to summon the family elders.

Deng Zengying harbored jealousy toward his son. Though Deng Zengying was a King-level expert, his talents had never been as formidable as his son’s. Currently, the elders only allowed Deng Zengying to serve as the family leader due to his son’s accomplishments.

This was one of the reasons Deng Zengying hated his son. It was evident that one day the old man would be displaced, paving the way for Deng Wu to become the new leader. Fortunately for him, Deng Wu was still pursuing his studies, giving Deng Zengying the capacity to weigh his options for retaining his position.

Unfortunately for him, the family gained substantial prestige thanks to Deng Wu, particularly through his association with an unknown female expert. Consequently, Deng Zeng’s resentment toward his son intensified. However, no matter what, Deng Wu was still seen as a young man whose contributions and possessions rightfully belonged to the family, which, in turn, was under Deng Zengying’s control.

This made Deng Zengying hope he could meet this unknown expert, but it seemed she vanished swiftly after leaving town on the day of the auction and had not returned since.

Even so, now, a week after the auction, Deng Wu had suddenly delivered the expert’s gift. It was an item far more valuable than the two advanced skills she had sold.

"If we are to attempt these water wheels, Li Fen has asked for five percent of the proceeds in exchange for providing us with the machines. She also mentioned the possibility of assisting us again in the future with other mechanisms that require no spiritual power," Deng Wu spoke slowly and deliberately, ensuring everyone heard his friend’s request for five percent.

"Shameless!" Deng Zengying shouted. "Sending cattle out to pasture and getting no return on the meat!"

"She is not merely donating for our benefit but for collaboration. Besides, it is only five percent. We still retain control over the remaining ninety-five percent." Having said that, the elders all nodded in agreement with Deng Wu’s words.

"We must keep in mind that these water wheels can more than double our current production. Isn’t it worth expressing such gratitude? I hope we can establish a strong relationship with such an exceptional expert in this process. For us, this is undoubtedly a highly advantageous situation."

The elders standing behind Deng Zengying all nodded in agreement. None of them were aware that Deng Zengying was actually jealous of his son, and the elders were, in essence, exacerbating the situation.

"You said we can double our current revenue?" Deng Zengying asked angrily. These water wheels could indeed bolster his position so he could better deal with his son in the future. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Dealing with Deng Wu would take a considerable amount of time, especially considering that even he himself did not know Deng Wu’s true cultivation level.

As Deng Wu stood to explain the functionality of the water wheels to his father, his gaze brimmed with mockery. Though the elders were unaware of the hostility between the father and son, how could Deng Wu possibly forget the animosity?

Nevertheless, despite Deng Zengying’s hatred toward Deng Wu, it did not trouble him. Deng Wu understood clearly that the elders were all in his favor, and one day he would inevitably assume the position of family leader, leaving his father free to rant all he wanted.

"Uncle Wu," one of the elders said after examining the blueprints for some time, "please inform the esteemed expert that we are deeply grateful for the opportunity she has given us, and we will always keep our doors open to her. Should she need a place to stay."

Hearing this nearly left Deng Wu in disbelief, for he knew exactly who "Li Fen" truly was. Nonetheless, outwardly, Deng Wu maintained his respectful demeanor, promising the elder that he would convey this message to her.

After dismissing himself, Deng Wu returned to the courtyard, resting for a moment before heading back to the academy. The expression on his usually smiling face hardened, emanating a frosty chill, making him unrecognizable to those who typically saw him as a cheerful person.

Deng Wu did not have much affection for his father, nor did he harbor significant sentiments toward the Deng Family itself. However, he did feel grateful toward Yan Xiaobao—not just for the prestige offered to him but for delivering invaluable machines like the water wheels.
