Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 131: Commanding Wind and Cloud

Translator: Udong Editor: IceTea

Sometime earlier, Caesars told her about the Cae Family's influence in Oakland city. Julius hadn't ever felt so suffocated before. Caesars, whom no one dared to provoke, was beaten and tortured by Qian Jin in the same way a little kid tore apart his dolls. Her fear brought about by murdering Rollin, which had been sealed in her memory, was rising at this moment.

Rosella swiftly ran into the mourning hall, carrying a muddy jar in her arms. On her face, no disgust for this dirty jar could be seen. Rather, she seemed to be holding the most precious thing in the world.

Julius gazed at the jar held in Rosella's arms surprisingly, regretting not having thought about Rollin hiding the property certificates of the Roll Family under the fishpond in the backyard. It was no wonder that she couldn't find the most important remains of Rollin despite rummaging through every box and chest in the house.

Rosella placed the jar in front of Qian Jin with great care, dismantled the cover made of oil cloth, and took out the house certificates that the Roll Family held in every region, workshop ownership certificates of all kinds, and two wharf credentials. Finally, she took out a letter covered with sealing wax.

"Sealing wax?" Qian Jin felt slightly shocked and understood that this was the letter no one had ever seen before, including Rosella. It was reserved for Qian Jin to see.

Rosella thought about Rollin's serious look when writing this letter. Tears once again welled up in her eyes as she said, "My brother said that this letter was to only be seen by you."

Qian Jin opened the sealing wax and took out several pieces of paper covered with writing. It was the familiar handwriting of Rollin. Although Rollin's handwriting had improved a lot in the past two years, Qian Jin could still recognize the writing of his old friend.

Buddy:

To tell the truth, I really don't want you to see this letter.

If you are reading this letter, haha… that means I have left this world ahead of you. It will be impossible to call you "buddy" or "brother-in-law" or hear you calling me "buddy" or telling me to "scram". I'm afraid that this will only happen if I see you in the stars.

Yes! I'm dead, but I believe that you are alive. You must feel strange why I am so sure about this. It's because you are Qian Jin, my one true friend. You were the only one who approached me and became friends with me despite my fat physique, my incapability of being a warrior, and my family wealth.

You are the only one who can kick my buttocks and still make me feel happy. You are the only one who carried me on your back without any hesitation when my legs were injured and I couldn't move. You are the only one who grinded your teeth and told me jokes to distract my attention and cover up your own fatigue even when you were already panting harshly.

You are the only one who looked into my eyes with sheer sincerity! You were the only one who never hid anything from me and spoke frankly!

It's fine that you are still alive even though I'm dead, because you ought to do something for your dead buddy.

Do you still remember what we shouted along the street when we got drunk? I said I would become the most successful merchant in Zence Empire, by which time I would buy the entire Zence Empire with the money I made!

You said that you would become the greatest warrior! You would tell those relatives of yours who used to look down on you that they were totally wrong! You would have your father stand up straight with confidence, becoming the pride of your father! You would chop down the head of the Demon King.

I said that you would eventually become a great warrior, and by that time you would be the prime guardian of the Roll Family. Having your fame as the banner and placing it in the trade caravans of the Roll Family, no bandits or thieves would dare to come close!

You said after I became a wealthy merchant, you would have me buy you a city and crown you the title of a castellan, where you would live a leisurely life of eating whenever you were hungry and strolling around the street whenever you felt bored.

Hehe, it turns out that I must take back my words said after getting drunk. I'm don't really want to take my words back, but I'm sure you won't, right?

All right! Since you are still alive, you must remember every bold pledge we made when we were drunk. Since I cannot keep my word, you shall hold your promise.

I have told my sister to listen to you, be open to you and fully believe in every decision you make.

Therefore, you have now become the prime guardian of the Roll Family! Please help me fix the messy situation my family is currently facing.

Given that you are my bosom friend?

Honestly speaking, I feel a little regretful for not having followed your advice.

You always told me not to marry Julius as she didn't suit me, but I couldn't stop loving her, longing to sleep with her and marrying her as my wife.

You are right, because she doesn't fit me. For these past couple of days, I found that she might be ganging up with Caesars. However, I haven't gleaned the most telling evidence.

You might ask why I didn't ditch her at once and discard her from the Roll Family? That's because she begs me; she begs me with her body on the bed.

I'm really beyond redemption for my love toward her. I couldn't stop loving her even though I know she might betray me. After all, to kick her out of the Roll Family has become difficult. She isn't a Barbie doll without any brains. Something has become uncontrollable for me…

Alas! It's not easy to explain to you all these messy troubles. You just need to bear one thing in mind: my death has a lot to do with this woman and the Cae Family.

The second year after our marriage, namely the second year went missing, my father passed away suddenly. Caesars got sufficient support from the Cae Family, and began attacking my family in the business field, with the aim of merging our entire property.

Hum! Who am I? Rollin! The fat Roll! I may be poor at fighting, but when it comes to business affairs… I made love to Julius as ferociously as I could in bed and thought about countermeasures to have Caesars agonize with great pain.

Just within half a month, the Cae Family suffered a great loss instead of making profits from my family. They came to know that young I was; I was a rare talent in the business field.

After all, it's trade war, and there is no difference from the fighting occurring in the battlefields. There is no other option aside from killing others or being killed by them. Once you sympathize with your opponents, you will suffer from a heavier attack by them. One negligent mistake could wipe you out.

I didn't give them any chance for survival, and thus the Cae Family held hatred toward me. They found it hard to defeat me face to face, so they racked their brains to think about some crooked methods. The castellan used to stand for, but he later seemed to have taken many bribes from the Cae Family, and he…

It was no use for me to bribe him by then. Besides, the Roll Family didn't possess the same luxuriant wealth and power as the Cae Family. Even if I had once caused damage to them, letting them know what pain meant, I couldn't be compared to them.

According to my investigation, my father died because of them, so I have no way to retreat, and I won't retreat!

If you are capable of getting revenge for me, chop them all up. Don't leave anyone alive for me. I won't be reserved towards you, just like how I know you won't be reserved to me either.

If you can't get revenge for me, sell off the entire property of the Roll Family and find a place to live with my sister. If you are strong enough, you must get revenge for me. Otherwise, don't attempt to do so, as you won't be seeking revenge, but instead asking for death.

I don't want to see blood smeared all over your body in the stars as you say to me, "Hi buddy, I intended to get revenge for you, but I was chopped up by them."

If so, I will lose all my hopes of taking revenge. That's it! I do want to get revenge. I was killed by them. If I don't want to get revenge for myself, then there's something wrong with my head.

Okay, now that we're finished with the topic of revenge, let's move onto the next point. Kill Julius and send her to accompany me.

I'm still in love with her. Since she played a crucial role in my death, I have no reason to let her live. I want to make love with her in the stars. I won't let her live a happy and easy life in your world.

Love… sucks! It's hard to explain. It's like drinking a bottle of poison without any hesitation when you are feeling thirsty in the desert, or like flying in fire even if you know that you might be burnt to death by it. I'm like this. I love Julius. You can curse me for being stupid, or use any words you want to criticize me. I'm like this.

As for the son? That's my biological son. Can you tell? Since I'm already dead, why do you still want to be his godfather? I don't mind you making fun of me. Become his father and have him bear your family name, Qian!

In the end, um! The last question concerns my sister. It doesn't matter if I pass away, but I cannot rest easy when I think about her.

As you have seen, this little girl has no one to help her; she's poor and lonely. You are the only one she trusts. Let's make it straight that you won't treat her like your own natural sister. Even if I am not your rival in terms of fighting, I still have the means to frighten you!

One request! Marry her!

One request! Be my brother-in-law!

I don't mind who "Lunar" is in your dreams. You can marry both of them. I believe that you won't let my sister suffer. No law in Zence Empire stipulates that you can only marry one girl. Even if you are only allowed to marry one, that will definitely be my sister!

It's my first time writing such a long letter, as I may die soon.

I really do not want to say goodbye to this world… I want to drink with you, walk on the streets late at night and growl to the sky. I want to be kicked in the butt by you, for real… Too many times… when I reflect on our past, I feel regretful for not having done a lot of things with you.

Do you still remember this? You said you wanted to live a life commanding wind and cloud! You said we should command wind and cloud in different paths of life!

But now, the path belonging to me has stopped, so you have to command wind and cloud by all means! You'd better add my portion to yours!

I really have a lot to confess to you!

Qian Jin, please allow me to call you "buddy" again.

"Buddy", take care. My life wasn't a waste! I slept with the campus beauty! I made a profitable business! I had the Cae Family, who intended to extort my family, pay a huge price! I have a sister prettier than the campus beauty by leaps and bounds! And on top of this, I have a bosom friend in this world! God is not mean to me, as he granted you to be with me!

Okay! That's all I want to say. Remember what I have told you, and accomplish them for me. Otherwise, I won't see and drink with you in your dreams.

Take care. I will be watching you in the stars, to see you my bosom friend, become the greatest warrior in the world! I know that you will conquer all the bloodline warriors!
