Gakuto was feeling very guilty and finally spoke. "Brothers, it's my fault that our wealth is lost but if you won't cooperate with Yuki, then from now on you won't get anything from her. Let's separate ourselves."
Everyone suddenly looked at him with open mouths. Gakuto was stubborn in being together since the beginning.
When Yuki said she wouldn't give money after this, Chisato and Fuyumi took Gakuto's soft spot for his brothers. He would have given them a share in money anyway.
Chisato and Fuyumi never in their life raised their voice in front of Gakuto before the bet but after seeing how people could change when wealth was lost, Gakuto lost value in blood relations. He understood trust was the only way people could progress, if there wasn't, then being separate was the best idea.
"How can you say that after taking all of our wealth?" Chisato asked like a bourgeois.
She was a person who would blame others for her misfortune; she didn't have any sense of humbleness or pride.
Yuki hated Chisato's western middle class mentality.
Gakuto became fierce and replied, "that wealth belongs to ancestors and I asked for your husband's opinion when betting on Yuki and he agreed, in actual we can abandon you since the beginning but as you are family we brought you with us but now I had enough of your ridicules on my daughter."
Chisato leaned backward suddenly with worried face."
Decide now, do you want to invest the money in Yuki's business or just take your share of 10 gold coins?" Gakuto offered.
"We want our 10 gold coins," Chisato asked in a fit of frustration.
Fools believe they could just get something when they needed it. They lived their life getting everything for free so they didn't understand the situation.
Fuyumi also asked, "I need 10 gold coins."
Akihiko asked his brother, "What do you choose?"
He politely replied, "I will follow you elder brother." he knew Yuki was not a normal child anymore, losing her support was the biggest mistake one could make.
"Yuki, give their money to them," Gakuto said. "From now on your business is yours and our business is ours."
'No, I decided to make their lives better than before,' Yuki thought by becoming nervous. 'This means my father should be with his brothers but if I give their money the bonds will be broken. I won't have much money to buy and sell huge amounts in a short time, my time will be wasted in doing business instead of training.'
"Uncle Katsunari, uncle Katsuo, is this what you want?"
They both looked at their wives, the wives widened their eyes. Both men decided to follow then, Yuki understood that and asked, 'system, tell me a past event where father helped them.' The system sold that information for 150 angry points.
Yuki relaxed to ease up the mood and said, "do you remember when dad saved you from the orange bear?"
They both gasped and got surprised on how Yuki knew it.
"At that time dad saved you both by putting himself as a shield, after he came back with heavy injuries you both took good care of him, then you said that you would do anything he asks you.
He only asked to be together forever as good brothers, now are you going to leave him just for 10 gold coins? Is your brotherhood that cheap? Just think how grandma would have felt if she was alive now." Yuki poked at every point possible.
Chisato saw the change in her husband and scolded, "You little, stop saying stupid things."
"Chisato, stop," Katsunari shouted in seriousness, he finally got the courage to talk back to her. "I have been listening to you until now but if you are challenging our brotherhood then I won't sit still.
Yuki, no need to give the money, use it however you want.
I can sustain my family even if we have to adjust ourselves. It is not honorable for men to not admit defeat, I agreed to bet and lost, now I will earn on my own."
Katsuo supported him. "Yes, don't listen to your aunts, do as you wish, we will earn our own money."
Yuki felt proud of the 2 brothers for being able to get out of the shackles of couple relations. Couple relation was very dangerous relation; it could go as far as killing one's own parents. When choosing partner people must choose carefully, they shouldn't let their compulsion get the best of them.
The 2 women felt humiliated when their own husbands were not supporting them but they didn't push them further in fear of divorce.
If they get divorced, then they couldn't sustain themselves in their poor birth families. They already got addicted to high-status and valuable things.
Katsunari went near Gakuto and pledged guilty by holding his hands in front of everyone. "Please forgive me, brother, I let my wife say many stupid things about Yuki when she is just a little girl. I will put my wife under control from now on."
"Me too," Katsuo said sincerely holding his arm with palms from the side. It was heartwarming for Yuki to see them become one again. Gakuto hugged them both in affection after a long time. He was very happy, happier than he had ever been.
'The 50 gold coins still won't be enough to buy things in the 2nd category, it will be 1 month soon since I came here and it will shuffle. Uncle Zenkichi already helped me by buying these pills at short notice; I can't take advantage of his kindness.' Yuki got troubled for not buying discounted items.
Then she realized she was overthinking. 'Well, no need to worry, I will live long, so there will be items coming and going. I shouldn't work up myself for small things.'
Gakuto and his brothers became one and their bond became many times stronger than before, his brothers sent their children to learn from Yuki about cultivation, even though they were not talented Yuki gave them yoga breathing techniques to feel spiritual energy.
"There is an auction house in the capital city, if the items are rare or useful, they will definitely buy at a high price but you should be careful, there will be many bandits in the way, most of them will be 1st or 2nd petals but high in numbers, so be careful," said Zenkichi's right-hand man to Yuki when Yuki asked where she could sell items like weapons.
"So how can I go to the capital city?" she asked.
"On horse and one more thing, the big families in the capital will tail you if the items are rare, so look after yourself, they might even kidnap you for your talent or even kill out of envy," he warned.
"No worries, my master always keeps track of me." Yuki assured him.
Yuki knew Gakuto and Akihiko wouldn't allow her to go alone, so she wrote a letter about leaving for business purposes and left the town without saying a word.
Yuki took a horse. While going she thought, 'Capital city is little D tour to the space stone area, if I can sell the items within time, I can buy remaining items before month's shift.'
Mira saw Yuki's letter and gave it to Akihiko, it was written, "I am going to train with my master for some time, so don't search for me. I already gave necessary techniques for Mira, don't let anyone read them." They didn't feel any panic as she was with her master.
'For this journey, 100,000 angry points is my target, I won't return until then.' Yuki fixed a target while going.
She reached a village. She wore a mask that changed her voice, wore a cloak that could conceal her energy, brought from 1st category in the system shop.
She tied the horse outside the village where no one could notice it and went inside the village. The villagers who saw her looked at her weirdly as she was wearing a mask and cloak.
Yuki went to the market in the village and shouted, "you foolish villagers, what do you think you are doing all day long working and sleeping at night. You really don't know how to enjoy your life do you, come and ask your big...big boss to guide you, knee and beg for my guidance. wahahahaha"
The villagers got confused and the arrogance in her voice made them angry. "Who are you? How dare you curse us like that?"
"Catch that little trouble maker."
Everyone went to catch her but she jumped and landed outside from surrounded people, she started running with enough speed so that they wouldn't catch her nor miss her.
She rounded the whole village and most of the villagers were chasing her. "Guess this is enough," she thought and stopped. She announced, "I will come tomorrow." and ran away. They all were frustrated.
"Damn it, he wasted our time."
"Do you think he is a cultivator, how could he not get caught by the entire village?"
"He must be a cultivator from a big family who came to fool us."
