Although Lin Beichen didn't touch most of the Zheng Clan's wealth, the treasure vault of the Zheng Clan belongs to him.
He had already informed everyone of his purpose for coming and given them many benefits. Those who were sensible would not dare to touch the treasure vault at this time.
At its peak, the Zheng Clan was one of the top ten wealthy families on Xiang Island, with assets worth trillions. Although they have shrunk now, they still have a scale of hundreds of billions.
Such a vast family business, with assets spread around the world, boasts countless treasures.
However, when it comes to the family treasure vault, there are only two places involved.
Each local property certainly has its own small treasury, but at most, it holds valuable jewels and paintings, rarely involving any rare curiosities.
Things like meteorites or items made of special materials are mostly gathered in the family treasure vault.
Lin Beichen has no interest in jewels.
Members of the Zheng Clan had already opened the door to the treasure vault early on, standing in the courtyard, looking around aimlessly, awaiting Lin Beichen's arrival.
Although Lin Beichen only killed two people, he broke the backbone of the family.
The sky had fallen, and each family could only scramble to escape!
What pained them the most wasn't the death of the old master, but watching helplessly as the wealth flowed away.
Most family members had no chance to enter the family treasure vault for a lifetime, and now they had to open the vault to hand over treasures to Lin Beichen personally.
How could they bear this?
Some care about their lives, naturally, there are those who would rather die than give up the wealth.
"Move faster, take away all the valuable things, don't leave anything for others. This is what our ancestors saved up, it absolutely cannot be cheapened by someone named Lin."
A group of muscular men charged into the estate without saying a word and immediately started moving the goods.
The higher-ups of the Zheng Clan stepped forward to stop them, yet these people disregarded them, pulling out sticks and instantly beating and scolding them.
"What gives you the right to stop us? We are also part of the Zheng Clan!"
"All these years, we've worked like oxen and horses making money for you. Now something's happened to your family, you sit on your piles of wealth and can't manage, yet you don't allow us to take it, if someone named Lin can take it, then so can we!"
A man from the Zheng Clan was so infuriated that he nearly spat blood to death.
"Act quickly!
What are the guards doing? Our Zheng Clan hasn't fallen yet, you're still eating our food, quickly drive them out!"
However, upon hearing these words, the guards stood still, coldly watching, with no intention of helping.
The Zheng Clan was already on the brink of disintegration.
As the saying goes, when strong, everyone supports you, when fallen, everyone pushes against you.
The Zheng Clan used to be formidable, but now, without a backbone, those with actual power in the branching families have already begun to scramble to acquire the properties, and most of those left in the estate are powerless and must depend on the family fortune to survive.
Security personnel always adopt an approach of being strong with the strong and weak with the weak.
When the host family is powerful, they are robust toward outsiders, but when the host family is weakened, they naturally disregard everything and focus only on taking their pay.
In reality, they have already done all they could.
Just think, how many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat that is the Zheng Clan?
That they haven't rushed to take a bite already shows considerable kindness.
Seeing the guards remain unfazed, a man in a suit stepped forward from the crowd, sneering at the members of the Zheng Clan.
"You still think you are noble young masters?
Rumors have spread outside that Mr. Lin killed your old master. You are now cattle and sheep on the chopping block, ready to be butchered at any moment.
Mr. Lin is sensible, knowing that as an outsider, he shouldn't take too much benefit, so even if Mr. Lin comes, we don't mind.
We represent the major interest groups on Xiang Island. Would someone named Lin dare to kill us all after killing a Zheng Clan member?"
After saying this, the man in the suit laughed heartily, his eyes glancing greedily at everyone, lighting up when he spotted a few pretty girls among them.
The Zheng Clan have developed for over a hundred years, and through generations of genetic modifications, they are all handsome men and beautiful women.
Moreover, because of their status, these women possess charms far exceeding those of average women.
How prestigious would it be to snatch up a few beauties from the Zheng Clan as lovers in the circle?
At this thought, the man in the suit felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
The faces of the members of the Zheng Clan turned pale, overwhelmed with terror.
Over the years, the family shielded them from the elements, nurturing them into waste who only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry.
While the family still stood, their greatest role was to help further their genes and continue the bloodline. But now the family is gone, and they shed their golden skin, reverting back to their true useless selves.
"You can't do this, you can't be so excessive! Our family didn't deprive you of benefits in the past, how can you disregard all feelings?"
There are still some who can't accept the situation, looking around in agitation.
Yet, those around remained unresponsive.
No matter who it was, they all merely looked at him coldly.
Family ties?
This pile of Zheng Clan treasures, how much of it was gained through familial affection?
The hundreds of billions of assets of the Zheng Clan, were they not all gathered through trickery and force?
No matter how cleanly they packaged themselves, it wouldn't change the essential nature of the Zheng Clan.
Just as the chaos was at its peak, someone suddenly entered from outside the crowd.
Seeing this person, the man was immediately filled with joy, hurriedly shouting:
"Master Wang."
"Little Zheng, don't call me that. Right now, there is only one master on Xiang Island, and that's Master Lin."
