Max chuckled before he assured them. "It's correct, Ed and Wendy. It's really a total of 18.73 million. This is just
the cash I'm talking about; | haven't included the other gifts that speople sent over. | made a list of all the
gifts collected; there were quite a number of people who brought gold jewelry and such-it took about six boxes to
fit everything inside.
Wendy, perhaps you can take a look at these accessories soon. That way, you can keep those that you like and
get rid of those that you don't. Otherwise, having so much jewelry at hwould be equivalent to inviting
robbers into our house, and just keeping it around would be troublesanyway."
Ed and Wendy were still shocked by what they just heard. "H-How did things turn out this way? Where did all
these gifts cfrom? Why would people give us jewelry? T-That's such an expensive gift!" Wendy commented.
With a faint smile, Max explained, "Ed, Wendy, this is how things are done nowadays. Attending a wedding with

and accessories would show that one truly has a close relationship with them.
Even the amount of cash offerings were pretty much as expected. Master Burch alone had already contributed
888,888; the rest of them all paid a few hundred thousand each. Even without any contribution from your
neighbors, we already have about 20 million.
Furthermore, these people all received personal invitations from Master Tiger; sof them who hadn't been
invited didn't even get to enter once they arrived. If everyone actually entered, we might have had up to 30
million here."
Both Ed and Wendy simply gaped at the man who just finished talking. A while ago, they were both getting
concerned over a few hundred dollars. Who could've expected for them to becso rich right after they got
married? "T-This is too much. We can't take all of it. Mr. Mussolini, why don't you... help us send all this money
back?" Wendy waved and gestured for the money to be sent away.
What she got in return was a stunned expression from Max. This girl is truly impressive, he thought. There's so
much money here, and yet her first thought is to send it all back. This is a rare sight indeed. There are only a few
people nowadays who aren't greedy for money, let alone a family like theirs, who actually needed the money.
"You don't have to callthat, Wendy. You can just callMax in the future. Also, we can't send the money
back. They sent this over as a show of their respect for us; we'll have to take it in order to acknowledge their
kind intentions. If we send it back, it means that we're rejecting their offerings; it'd be rude to do that!
Once Ed starts running the whole Wellness Herbary in the future, he'll need to build relationships with a great
number of people. Such traditions and etiquettes will have to be done right," Max spoke. Confused, Wendy said,
"But this is such a huge sum of money. It's too generous of them to do this. How can we ever repay such
generosity?"
"Don't worry about that, Wendy. Nothing's impossible. I'm sure Ed's incwill be pretty high after he takes over
Wellness Herbary. In the future, if any of these people host events of any sort, we can always attend and return

build with them."
After that, Wendy simply fell silent as she accepted the new reality she was in. Max handed the list over to Ed as
he said, "Take a look, Ed. If everything's fine, we can pack up and leave. I've called for my men to calong,
and they will help you to move your things later."
"What? Move where?" Ed questioned him with a stunned look on his face.
"It was Master Tiger's last orders before he left. He said that you'll have to live in the worker's dorm when you're
working at Wellness Herbary, so all your things will have to be moved over," Max said with a smile.
After understanding the situation, Ed then uttered, "Well, you don't need to ask for your men's help. | can just
pack a few clothes and leave."
This time, with a quieter voice, Max muttered, "The worker's dorm that Master Tiger gave you is a big bungalow
with a size of nearly 300 square meters. What he's trying to say is that your whole family might as well move
over to live there instead."
