inging Thunder inside, I couldn’t help but feel like I was dreaming. I hadn’t been here long, but already I had a mansion. The little bit of martial beads I had handed out had brought me so much. But too much wealth had to stay hidden.

Murong returned, “Young Master Yun, Thunder’s room is ready.”

“Don’t call him ‘Young Master Thunder.’ Just Thunder is fine.”

Thunder interjected, “Big Brother, come on! I’ve never been called ‘young master’ before. At least let me enjoy it.”

Before he finished, I shot him a stern look, “When we got here, I told you to act like a human.”
