The words had barely left her mouth when her assistant froze. “Teacher Ying, what did you say?”
Even Herwen, who seldom paid attention to domains outside the scientific community, was surprised and looked up. “The Lorentz Family?”
The Lorentz Family, a name known to all in the world.
It was common knowledge that only the Lorentz Family could be called the number one family in the world.
The global economy was controlled by the Lorentz Family.
Even the Ancient Martial World was wary of the Lorentz Family.
It wasn’t because the Lorentz Family’s overall martial power actually surpassed those Ancient Martial Arts Families with ancestors who had two to three hundred years of cultivation. Rather, it was because the Lorentz Family had someone behind them.
The Diviner.
Those who truly knew the deepest secrets of the world, mingled in NOK forum’s hidden sections, were aware that the Lorentz Family’s unwavering stance in Jade Ice Cui was inseparable from the Diviner’s assistance.
Even though the Diviner hadn’t shown up for years, even though the Lorentz Family’s influence had declined for more than two hundred years.

Unless necessary, no power would willingly offend the Lorentz Family.
You could run from the Lorentz Family if you provoked them.
But if you provoked the Diviner, the issue would escalate significantly.
In both O continent and Hua Country, the Diviner was recognized as the top Fortune Teller.
If Fortune Tellers weren’t so extremely rare nowadays, with the entire world unable to muster up twenty skilled ones, then there would be no dissent over Fortune Tellers holding the top spot in all hunter professions.
Having the power to predict destiny, to change fate, was akin to challenging the heavens.
Neither Poison Masters nor Hypnotists could compare.
However, the facts that the Diviner and Xize Laurent were still alive were unknown to Herwen and his assistant.
As for the latter, even some of the big shots in the NOK forum were unaware.
After all, since waking up, Xize Laurent had hardly left Lorentz Castle, always directing from behind the scenes.
Herwen and his assistant only knew that the Lorentz Family was very powerful, powerful enough to firmly suppress The Four Great Financial Groups of O continent.
“If the Lorentz Family would invest, of course it will be possible,” the assistant shook his head. “But how could that be? The Lorentz Family is now solely focused on the banking sector and hardly pays attention to other domains.”
Historical records mentioned this.
One of the reasons the strongest leader of the Lorentz Family, Xize Lorenz, was subjected to multiple assassination attempts, was because the Lorentz Family had funded too many prominent figures in various domains.
The music industry, the research community, the oil painting world… the list was endless.
This had incited the jealousy of various powers.
But there was no consensus on this record, and nobody truly knew if it was accurate.
Yet, since retaking control of Jade Ice Cui, the Lorentz Family had not funded any scientific research projects.
“If it’s enough, then that’s all we need,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly. “Professor, don’t worry, the lab will continue to operate; it won’t close.”
The Cosmic Carrier experiment was one she absolutely had to be involved in.
After nodding in acknowledgment, she took her leave first.
In the office, Herwen and his assistant exchanged a bemused look for the first time.
An inexplicably silent atmosphere descended.
“Pro… Professor,” after quite some time, the assistant finally snapped out of his daze and swallowed hard, “Teacher Ying, she… she even knows the Lorentz Family? What… what kind of person have you unearthed in Hua Country?”
Even the Venus Group couldn’t directly persuade the Lorentz Family to invest. At most, the two sides could cooperate.
What level of a person could casually ask them if the Lorentz Family would be enough?
It’s as if Ying Zijin would increase the stakes if they said it wasn’t sufficient.
Herwen was also puzzled. “I’m not sure.”
He was keen on nurturing talent, not wanting gold to go undiscovered.
When he had signed Ying Zijin to the lab, he never bothered to check her family history or background.
To Herwen, it wasn’t important.
The assistant scratched his head. “Professor, if it is true, that would really be…”
He didn’t dare to continue the thought.
With the Lorentz Family involved, would the Pazzi Family still dare to make a move?
Forget the Pazzi Family, even The Four Great Financial Groups combined wouldn’t dare.
What’s more, if the Lorentz Family invested in Herwen’s lab, Herwen’s personal security would be highly safeguarded.
The three globally recognized forces “not to provoke” included the Lorentz Family, known for defending their own.
“Peace of mind,” Herwen shook his head, still optimistic. “Sometimes the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it.”
He put on his glasses and stood up. “I’ll go to the operation room, then schedule the next few days’ agenda, postponing all other affairs.”
The assistant nodded. “Understood, Professor.”
The next few days were the ISC international finals, and Herwen was determined to witness them in person.
The security personnel would had to be thoroughly prepared.

After leaving the lab, Ying Zijin returned to her dorm room.
She sat at her desk, turned on her computer, logged into the NOK forum and entered the hidden section.
Then, in the “add friend” column, she typed in the ID “Only Love Money.”
Ying Zijin hesitated for two seconds but still hit the Enter key.
The profile picture was of a young man’s silhouette, none other than Xize Laurent.
She paused for a moment before sending a message.
[The Diviner]: If you see this, knock on my door.
Ying Zijin also knew that Xize Laurent’s servants tasked with caring for him would never betray him, so she was quite reassured.
Moreover, they were all aware of the relationship between the Diviner and the Lorentz Family.
Just a minute later, the “Only Love Money” avatar lit up.
[Only Love Money]: Boss???
[Only Love Money]: Boss!!!
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly before replying.
[Diviner]: It’s me.
After these two words were sent, the other side remained silent for quite some time.
Ying Zijin watched as the “The other party is typing” notification at the top of the chat box kept flashing.
[Diviner]: Still there?
[Only Love Money]: I just woke up, I need to calm down for a bit.
[Only Love Money]: I still feel like crying.
[Only Love Money]: Boss, don’t laugh at me.
Ying Zijin’s hands paused, her expression becoming slightly more complex.
She didn’t want to see Xize Laurent because her abilities were not fully intact.
With the current advanced level of technology, nobody knew if the previous assassination incidents would repeat upon meeting.
Therefore, she could only send medicines to Lorentz Castle to help regulate his health.
After all, the after-effects of Xize Laurent’s awakening were severe, and if one was not careful, his heart might collapse.
[Only Love Money]: Alright, Boss, tell me, what’s up?
[Only Love Money]: Xize standing by.
Ying Zijin’s expression froze momentarily, she remembered those four words.
The first time she met Xize Laurent, he was just fifteen years old.
At that time, in the Lorentz Family, let alone being the heir, he was only an inconspicuous ordinary member.
The young boy looked at her with his deep blue eyes, his voice still somewhat childish but very serious as he said those four words: “Xize standing by.”
In the blink of an eye, several hundred years had passed.
[Diviner]: Have you heard of Cosmic Carriers?
[Only Love Money]: Flying out of the Solar System to another star system? It seems like an O continent laboratory has started such a project.
[Diviner]: The cosmos is vast. It’s even further than that.
[Only Love Money]: Boss, you didn’t disappear all these years just to go to another universe, did you?
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows slightly.
She had to admit, the kid could be quite clever at times.
[Diviner]: The Pazzi Family has pulled out their investment. The lab needs investment from another major clan from the O continent.
There are some things she always wanted to try, even if they might not succeed in the end.
At least, there was hope.
[Only Love Money]: The Pazzi Family? Are they courting death?
[Only Love Money]: Don’t worry, Boss, I have nothing else and I’m not as daring as Norton, but I do have plenty of money. Investing is easy, no sweat.
[Diviner]: Good, this month’s medicine has arrived, make sure someone goes to pick it up.
After stopping for some fifteen seconds, another message came through.
[Only Love Money]: Boss, there’s one more thing.
[Diviner]: ?
[Only Love Money]: Don’t tell anyone I was crying, I haven’t found a wife yet, it could damage my image.
[Only Love Money]: If that guy Norton finds out, he will definitely tease me.
[Diviner]: …
That kid, his adolescent eccentricities are showing again.
That’s an ailment she probably couldn’t cure.

At this moment,
Jade Ice Cui.
The heart of Lorentz Castle.
A warm breeze blew gently, filling the air with the sound of birds.
The sunlight weaved through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Everything appeared peaceful and tranquil.
On the white large bed, a young man with golden hair turned over and tossed the tablet beside him.
His handsome face was still pale, nearly devoid of color.
“Go, transfer a hundred billion from the bank,” Xize instructed a servant nearby, “Establish a scientific research fund and start by investing in this experiment.”
He knew his boss was interested in a lot of things.
He genuinely admired her ability to learn so much.
He was different; he only loved money.
Job was surprised: “Master, are you talking about scientific research?”
Xize was known for his playful side, more inclined towards the pleasures of life.
Unlike other leaders of the Lorentz Family, he rarely sponsored scientists.
“Yes, it’s for scientific research,” said Xize calmly, “Additionally, I want you to announce it throughout the O continent. The Pazzi side must know.”
The Lorentz Family and the Pazzi Family were sworn enemies, only starting to reconcile after entering the 21st century.
Since waking up, Xize was looking for more stability and had not squabbled much with the Pazzi Family.
After all, the members of the Pazzi Family who tried to assassinate him back then were long buried underground.
It was also because they had been struck down by the Lorentz Family for too long. Now, the Pazzi clan had long since switched lines of business and no longer dealt in banking.
