Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 184: Grand Elder and Caleb
Noan ate just a little before leaving. Caleb and Austin didn't stay long either; they were eager to start carrying out the task that Noan had assigned them.
Austin returned home and quickly went to another room, where he saw two people. One was a middle-aged man with a belly as if he were six months pregnant, and the other was a gentle middle-aged woman sitting and reading a book.
"Father, Mother!" Austin said happily.
The middle-aged woman, hearing him, put the book down and spoke softly, "How is it? Is something good happening?"
The middle-aged man also laughed and said cheerfully, "Hahaha… Did you have fun? Do you need money? If you do, I can give you more, and you can spend it however you like."
"Hehehe..." Austin scratched his head, smiling as he said, "Father, Mother, I'm indeed short on money, but... I need the money for some important matters, not for wasting."
"Important matters?" The middle-aged man furrowed his brows, looking at his wife and then back at Austin, "What are you planning to do?"
"Father, my big brother needs me to buy some things, and I need a lot of money. How much cash can you mobilize right now?" Austin didn't hide it and immediately asked.
Austin's father stroked his chin upon hearing this, while Austin's mother immediately spoke, "My son, what do you want to buy? Do you need that much money?"
"Not too much, just a little of the essential items," Austin replied. "Hm… food, construction materials, potion recipes, weapon blueprints, and especially, we need to focus on the Machine-type Hero blueprint."
"Generally, anything we can buy, just buy it all, don't worry too much."
"This..." Austin's mother seemed slightly worried and asked, "Austin, who is your big brother? I'm afraid that..."
"Alright! Alright!" Suddenly, Austin's father laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha… Don't worry, and I can mobilize around 140 billion credit points. Besides that, our family has plenty of resources. I'll give it all to you."
"Heh?! Father, are you serious?" Austin couldn't believe his ears and asked again in excitement.
"Of course!" Austin's father said firmly.
Austin's mother wanted to say something, but Austin's father waved his hand, stopping her words. He even gestured for her not to say anything.
"Father, if we mobilize that much money, will our company still operate normally?" Austin asked with concern.
"Don't worry. Do you think I haven't accumulated anything over the years?" Austin's father laughed and said, "I'm not worried, so why should you be worried?"
"Hahahaha... Father, thank you," Austin said cheerfully. "I need to start the procurement process, but my big brother said it must be done secretly and that not many people can know about it."
Austin's father stroked his chin, and his eyes shone with determination.
"I understand, don't worry." He smiled and spoke, "You know who I am, right? Things like this are very easy for me. I promise no one will find out."
"Hehehe... Thank you, Father," Austin said, excitedly leaving the room.
As soon as the door closed, Austin's mother frowned and asked, "Honey, do you trust this person Austin calls his Big Brother?"
"Of course." Austin's father laughed, "You know how lucky our boy is, right?"
"Since the day he was born, even though his achievements haven't been exceptional, I've noticed one thing—he's incredibly lucky."
"Whenever he's in danger or trouble, someone always appears to help him."
"This time, I trust Austin's Big Brother too."
"But..." Austin's mother worriedly said, "We've never met this person nor had any contact with him. How can we trust him so completely like this?"
"What if... what if... our son gets tricked?"
Austin's father laughed loudly: "Hahahaha… I think the chances of that are very low."
"When he came back to the city, he said that his Big Brother helped him through the System event, even providing resources so he could develop. Don't you remember?"
"That... I remember, of course." Austin's mother nodded in agreement.
Austin's father continued, "My wonderful wife, do you know that no lord can bring anything from the city to that world?"
Austin's mother nodded again: "I know that..."
"Then..." Austin's father laughed, "Why would Austin's Big Brother want to buy so many things if he can't bring them to that world?"
Austin's mother was taken aback, seemingly realizing something.
"You've figured it out too, haven't you?" Austin's father smiled, "Everything a person wants to buy is necessities. So... why would he buy so many necessities for a Lord?"
"There's only one answer: He can bring these things to the Chaos World."
Austin's mother took a deep breath, trying to contain her surprise: "This... is too outrageous. How could anyone bypass the System's rules?"
"What if that person really exists? Or maybe we could say... a small loophole, or perhaps... it's a special ability of that person."
"Although I can't be certain how that person can do this, I can say with 100% certainty that they can bring anything from this world to the Chaos World."
"Honey... what should we do now?" Austin's mother asked anxiously.
"Hm?! Of course, we should help Austin, buy as many necessities as possible," Austin's father replied.
"But... that will affect the operation and cash flow of the companies we own."
"Hahahaha..." Hearing Austin's mother, he laughed loudly, "My dear wife, our company has grown so much already. Taking a small break won't hurt."
"Besides, we need to get involved in this grand game. The Frankyro family has been suppressing us for too long, even they..."
Austin's father suddenly fell silent, his gaze full of affection as he looked at Austin's mother.
"It's been a long time, I… I don't care anymore," Austin's mother said, lowering her head, her eyes reflecting sadness and disappointment.
"Don't worry, this time, we can rise again," Austin's father said confidently. "The Chaos World plays an extremely important role, affecting the power of the entire world."
"As long as our son chooses the right person, we can rise again, and I can help you get your revenge."
"Austin has always been very lucky. I believe this time, his luck will continue. I... will destroy the Frankyro family and kill that bastard Janky."
...
At the Frankyro family estate, Caleb entered the family hall, bowed his head, and respectfully spoke to the old man sitting by the small tea table, "Elder..."
The old man appeared in his seventies, his hair and beard nearly completely silver. But when he opened his eyes, a wave of pressure descended on Caleb, making it hard for him to breathe.
Don't be deceived by the old man's age. Although he looked seventy, he was over one hundred and forty years old.
Moreover, he was the Grand Elder of the Frankyro family.
"Caleb, huh..." The Grand Elder spoke softly, and the pressure immediately disappeared. "What is it that you need to see me for?"
"Grand Elder..." Caleb bowed his head, speaking respectfully. "I recall that since my arrival, I have not received any resources from the family, so I would like to ask for your help obtaining some resources."
The Grand Elder nodded slightly, his gaze toward Caleb as if seeing through his thoughts.
Caleb was startled and quickly lowered his head, hiding his face.

"How long have you been here?" the Grand Elder asked.
"Grand Elder, it's been over fifteen years and four months," Caleb replied.
"Ah! Has it been that fast?" The Grand Elder sighed, his voice hinting of weariness and sadness.
"Good! Since you've been a member of this family for so long, based on the resources accumulated over these fifteen years, I can give you a Rank B magical item," the Grand Elder said.
Caleb didn't express joy at his generosity. On the contrary, he shook his head and said, "Elder, that would make you uncomfortable."
"I don't need a Rank B magical item, and I want to exchange it for something else. I hope you can help me."
As Caleb spoke, he bowed his head close to the ground, showing his deep respect.
"Hm?! What do you want?" the Grand Elder asked, confused.
"Grand Elder, I want resources."
