Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 646: It sure is nice to be riChapter

Dismayed, Scarlet looked at her sister Carolyn and shook her head mostly in disbelief. The way Fey was extravagantly saying ’everything’ painted a very vivid image in Scarlet’s mind. She drew a concise picture of a mountain of clothes, shoes, bags, storage bracelets, terminals and other things.

"Elroy bought them cars, at least I stuck to girly things like dresses, shoes, jewels and mines." Carolyn shrugged.

"Mines!!!" Scarlet exclaimed.

"Beord bought them houses, they have not been born yet and don’t even have names or identification cards, resident permits and any other documentation but they are already significantly wealthy." Fey sighed.

"Our parents bought them space ships." Carolyn told Scarlet.

Scarlet couldn’t help the groan which escaped her mouth. These presents were way too extravagant for children that were still baking in her body. Which child needed a spaceship? Even Justin didn’t have one yet. Scarlet had one in her storage bracelet, one of Maddox’s creations that she was keeping until Justin made sixteen. He would only get it if he passed his pilot exams at that.

She wondered what the people would say if they heard about these luxurious gifts her family had prepared. There would be a lot of talk, and a lot of disgruntlement.

"This must be why the commoners hate us." she sighed loudly.

There were many wealthy individuals in the empire but the distribution of wealth was not fair. Some obviously had more than others_____, so much more.

"But it sure is nice to be rich." Fey raised her glass and smiled. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Carolyn peeked her head over Fey’s shoulder and said, "You haven’t told us what you got them."

"Huh!" Fey uttered. She was sort of stunned like a fish that had just been taken out of the water.

"What did you get your nieces?" Carolyn insisted on asking.

It seemed like Scarlet was also interested because she looked curiously at her sister. Fey did love talking about other people’s business but she kept a tight lid on her information.

Fey used her free hand to pinch her chin said, "I am not as rich as you guys so I got them a yacht." She raised her finger and clarified, "One yacht."

"Which brand?" Carolyn asked.

Fey looked at Carolyn with puzzled eyes. Was it a question whose brand she had gone with? Everyone in their family supported each other’s business. Was it not Scarlet that said wealth is accumulated by circulating it in-house? So why would she buy a yacht from someone else when Carolyn had a company that built and sold ships?

"Yours of course, I got the behemoth 100 series. It’s as fast as space ship at maximum speed, can hold up to fifteen thousand people. It has all the amenities one could ever need and it can use acceleration teleportation in case of danger. It’s still being fitted for weaponry, I won’t let my nieces encounter danger when they are out on the high seas."

"Nice." Carolyn said happily.

The two sisters loudly tapped their hands together. Both, looked equally proud of their achievement. Scarlet went online to find out how much the yacht cost and when she saw the price, her jaw dropped.

"Two hundred fifty million star coins!!" she gasped.

She turned her wide eyed gaze onto Fey, even bending forward so that she could look directly at her sister.

"You spent two hundred fifty million star coins?" She raised her voice and looked at both sisters. "Have you all lost your damn minds? Justin doesn’t even have these things."

It struck her that she didn’t have a yacht as well and she sat upright. "Hell, I don’t have a yacht either."

Carolyn poked Scarlet on the head and Scarlet glared at her, hissing unhappily like an unhappy cat.

"You are richer than all of us....." Carolyn said. Then, she paused and shook her head. "No, I am richer than you now, I think."

She was now a royal so she was practically swimming in money. Markey had showered her with many businesses and mines. Her private ship, boat and yacht manufacturing company was one of the best and among the few in the empire. In addition to that, she had many inventions from which she was making money. But, from all the sales of land on the Blue star, businesses and investments Scarlet had, she was just as rich as her.

"Just buy yourself a yacht from me, or a small boat, I don’t care which. I am going to send you a whole catalogue of everything that we sell. Sadly, all of our inventory is already booked but I made special reservations for you little sis." Carolyn suggested.

"Why does it sound a bit like you are promoting your business? She is your sister, shouldn’t you give her one for free?" Fey asked Carolyn.

Carolyn looked horrified at this suggestion. The way she looked at Fey, it was if she was questioning how much her younger sister truly knew her. "I think you underestimate how much I love money. I can steal candy from a baby if it will make me rich."

"Huh! Are you money crazy?" Fey blurted out.

Scarlet could not talk the money talk anymore. Besides, Halley had somehow fallen asleep in her arms and they were being too loud. She decided to change the topic and ask about something else.

"Hey, Fey, does that jerk still call the office? The one that calls me a bitch and says he is coming for me?"

Fey turned her head to Scarlet and nodded. "I have never met a persistent jerk like this wacko. Every morning at nine sharp, as soon as those communication lines are opened, he calls faithfully. Lately, he asks where you are hiding or if you are afraid of him."

Scarlet rolled her eyes. As if she was afraid of anything! It was actually time for her to pay a visit to her faithful hater, reaper style. Or maybe she could just send Lanta, after all, in the grand scheme of things, a puny human was not that much of a threat to her.

But, if the gods could plan to use her human family against her, then what was to stop an ordinary human from doing the same thing? She might be invincible but Justin and her parents were not. It was better to get rid of all threats immediately, starting with that human and then Ramslin.

After them, Ulysses would be next on her hit list.

Carolyn tugged on Scarlet’s shoulder and nudged her backwards. On her face was a look of disapproval with a hint of frustration.

"Hey, have you still not caught that jerk? I told you to send me the link and allow the empress to handle this through her network. Why are you all cagey about this?"

"It will be handled tomorrow. I already have someone on it." Scarlet told her.

She had her own spies all over the empire so why would she need the empress to help?

Slowly, Scarlet lifted Halley off her body with her mental strength and put her in Fey’s arms. Then she stood up.

"I am going to rest, it’s been a very stress filled few months and I am drained. Moreover, she needed to see what her reaper friends had been up to during her absence. Had the underworld changed while she was gone?
