The Founder of the Great Financial Family

“Rockefeller-hyung, how did it go at Banco’s?” 

As soon as Rockefeller returned, the younger siblings who had been waiting at home flocked around him. 

Looking at their expressions, he could see the nervous anticipation with which they had waited for him. 

“Did you sell the gold?” 

“Did you not manage to sell it?” 

Rockefeller responded to his siblings’ questions with a smile, 

“Things went well. From now on, we can take the placer gold we mine and sell it to the goldsmith there,” 

“Really?!”

“What a relief!” 

At Rockefeller’s words, the second and third children sighed with relief, even if they managed to mine placer gold; if they couldn’t sell it, then it would have been meaningless. 

“But how did you sell it? I would have thought the goldsmith would be suspicious if he were suddenly approached with gold to sell?” 

“Well, I told him there was a smuggler and that I’m playing the middle role of selling the gold – I thought if I did that, then he wouldn’t ask too much about the source of the placer gold,” 

“Did he not notice anything off?” 

“There’s nothing to notice. Your big brother is an amazing actor. I think because I’m still young, he wasn’t too suspicious,” 

Hearing that, it was Joshua who was the happiest, 

“Rockefeller-hyung is the best! Now we can be rich too!” 

Andrew grinned just as brightly, 

“Joshua’s right. Now we can be rich too! We don’t have to worry about starving anymore!” 

At the thought that he would no longer be hungry, the expression on Leo’s face also brightened. And watching her older brothers laughing and chatting brightly, despite not quite understanding what was happening, Lucia also laughed happily.

In such a bright atmosphere, only Rockefeller’s happiness was moderate and short-lasting. 

His dream was far too big to be excited with just this.

‘It’s just the beginning, to think they’re this excited… well, they are still young after all,’ 

Rockefeller had no intention of living alone in this harsh world. 

‘The motto I taught these younger siblings was not in vain. Weak people like us have no choice but to join forces to survive.’ 

If they were strangers who didn’t know each other very well, it would have been not easy, but they were a family of the same blood. 

‘Blood is thicker than water.’

While thinking about his dreams, Rockefeller got a little excited, so he decided to calm his excitable brothers for a moment and had them listen to them, 

“Hyung has something to tell you, so calm down for a second. I hope you guys will listen to me,” 

What was their older brother saying all of a sudden?

As the second and third children were quietly looking at Rockefeller, waiting for him to speak, Rockefeller started talking about his dreams to his brothers while seated around their old creaky table. 

“You see, I have no intention of staying within this reality. I want to move forwards with bigger dreams. What do you think? Do you guys want to do the same?” 

They might have been young, but they were still old enough to think about their future and discern what they wanted to do. 

Among the quiet siblings, the first to speak was none other than the third child, Joshua, 

“Rockefeller-hyung, what are you talking about all of a sudden?” 

“So, simply put, I want to get out of this kind of life,” 

Rockefeller slowly looked around their shabby house, leaving his brothers staring at him, the household items were old, and the living standards weren’t very good. 

‘I’ve always been unhappy with this house. Even though I couldn’t be a nobleman, it’s still too much. This isn’t the kind of place people live. It’s a pigsty,’

“Do you want to continue living in a house like this?” 

At Rockefeller’s words, the younger brothers looked at each other, a little confused and nervous, finally Joshua said, 

“This is our house… I like it here….”

Leo seemed to agree, but the second child, Andrew, was different. 

He often went out to play with the other children, so despite having the status of a commoner, having a home that was always ‘less’ compared to others had always bothered him. 

“I… I think the same as Rockefeller-hyung,” Andrew said, 

“I don’t like it here either. If we live in a place like this, the other kids will ignore us,” he added.

“Does it make you embarrassed?” Rockefeller asked. 

“Yeah..,” 

He wondered how was it that his older brother knew his heart so well?

Still, perhaps embarrassed by what he had just said, Andrew quietly bowed his head, and Rockefeller began to continue his words with a faint smile on his lips. 

“Andrew’s feelings are nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a natural human emotion. I don’t want to live my whole life in this old, dirty house either. I want to live in a bigger, much nicer place that others would envy,” 

“But that’s… for rich people,” Joshua mumbled, 

“Then isn’t it fine as long as we become those rich people?”

Joshua looked up at his eldest brother, whose gaze was sincere. 

“But being rich isn’t easy….” 

“No, we can be rich,” Rockefeller answered firmly, 

“Really, how?” 

“All you have to do is listen to me, follow your big brother, and I will make us the richest people in the world,”

“Really?”

It looked like Joshua’s doubts grated on Andrew because he raised his voice sharply, 

“You idiot! We already know how to get rich. Why are you asking stupid questions?” he snapped, 

Still, the third countered, 

“True, but…” 

Joshua knew it deep down. Even if they continued to mine placer gold without anyone knowing and secretly sold it, they couldn’t become wealthy as long as the Lord was there.
