Chapter: 1348

�Hmph! Do you think I lent them that precious IOU just to get the interest?�

Geum Shin-chung had an uncomfortable expression on his face.

The reason he agreed to lend money to the Jin family was to gain an upper hand in his relationship with them.

He thought that no clan would dare to look down on Golden Mountain Manor if he had the upper hand over the Jin family, who had considerable influence in Henan Province.

He used the IOU to pressure the Jin family by asking them to pay back the money they borrowed, but he didn�t actually want them to pay it back.�

However, the Snow Sword Manor had requested to borrow an IOU, so he had no choice but to give it. And it led to this situation.

The Jin family paid back the money, and the Golden Mountain Manor had no means to pressure the Jin family.

�Then why did you lend the IOU to the Snow Sword Manor? Does the Snow Sword Manor know your weakness?�

�What weakness?�

�So why did you lend it to them? I don�t understand why you would hand over the IOU so easily. And it�s not even to the Snow Sword Manor sect leader, but to their attendant��

Geum Suryeon carefully asked what she had been curious about.

Her father, Geum Shin-chung, was a man who didn�t know fear.�

Although it is said that the world is dominated by force, Geum Shin-chung�s financial power surpassed the power of arms. Even the warriors guarding the Golden Mountain Manor were strong enough to be treated well by other clans. So she didn�t understand why Geum Shin-chung, who had countless strong men, readily responded to the request of a mere attendant.�

Geum Shin-chung crossed his arms and said,

�I did it for a good reason.�

�What is it?�

�Suryeon.�

�Yes!�

�I�m glad that you�re my daughter.�

�I�m also very happy that I�m your daughter.�

�Yes. You�re pretty, smart, and quick-witted. You know a lot of things. But what you see is not everything.�

�Pardon?�

�The reason you don�t know yet is because I haven�t told you about him. And I didn�t tell you for a good reason.�

�What do you mean?�

�Suryeon!�

Geum Suryeon felt that her father was acting unlike himself today. Ever since she had grown up, this is the first time for her father to speak so seriously in front of her.

So she felt even more wary.�

�Yes!�

�Remember, in Jianghu, those who are hiding in the dark are more dangerous than those who are well-known. You�ll soon understand what I am saying once you reached my position one day.�

In the end, Geum Shin-chung did not give the answer Geum Suryeon wanted. JrNovels.com
