Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes-Chapter 373: Proof

"Even if the entire city’s population moved there, we wouldn’t be able to fully utilize it."

Lana’s expression slowly turned serious.

She leaned slightly forward, her fingers resting calmly on the table, and her voice carried a quiet firmness.

"It’s not just about building a mercenary group."

Monica paused, her brows knitting slightly.

Lana continued.

"If possible, you should expand into other fields as well."

She began counting slowly on her fingers.

"A detective agency. An information agency. And any other related sectors that revolve around intelligence and security."

Her eyes gleamed faintly.

"And if the opportunity appears... you should also establish a superpower agency."

Monica froze.

For several seconds, she simply stared at Lana in disbelief.

She had expected a discussion about land development or maybe expanding the mercenary business slightly.

But this...

This was an entire empire Lana was describing.

’A mercenary company... a detective agency... an information network... and even a superpower agency...’

Monica felt her heart beating slightly faster.

At first, she almost wanted to laugh at the idea.

Yet the more she thought about it, the more tempted she felt.

Meanwhile, Lana quietly watched Monica’s reaction.

’She’s tempted...’

And Lana knew exactly why.

If Monica truly expanded into all those sectors, then Lana would indirectly gain shares in multiple organizations while maintaining influence across them.

With just a single investment, she could secure a powerful position across several industries.

In her previous life, Monica had already proven her capabilities. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She had expanded into multiple fields and was gradually rising toward becoming one of the wealthiest women in the region.

If it had not been for that mysterious mishap that destroyed everything...

Monica would have climbed to even greater heights.

’So why not accelerate that future?’

Seeing the hesitation in Monica’s eyes, Lana calmly revealed her final bargaining chip.

"In fact," Lana said casually, "if you open both a detective agency and a superpower agency in the future..."

Monica leaned forward slightly. "I’ll reduce my share."

Monica blinked. "Reduce?"

Lana nodded. "I only want forty percent."

A stunned silence filled the room.

Monica stared at Lana as if she had just heard something unbelievable.

Forty percent. Not fifty.

Lana was offering to invest the money. Lana would also provide protection. She herself was a mystical cultivator.

And with Lana standing behind her as a supporter, Monica would gain enormous credibility and power.

With Lana as her backer... Monica could accomplish almost anything.

Still, Monica hesitated slightly.

She looked at Lana carefully before speaking again.

"If everything you are suggesting really happens..."

She paused briefly. "Two hundred million dollars won’t be enough."

Lana nodded. Of course she understood.

Buying the land alone would already consume a massive amount of funds.

After that, there would be construction costs, recruitment expenses, monthly salaries, operational maintenance, and marketing.

Two hundred million dollars would disappear very quickly.

Lana smiled calmly. "Don’t worry about that."

Monica frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

Lana leaned back in her chair. "We’ll keep a clear account."

She tapped the table lightly.

"Any money that gets invested will be recorded. As long as the expenses are reasonable, you can lease the funds directly from me."

She smiled faintly. "You don’t need to worry about the money."

Monica looked stunned.

After all, what Lana possessed the most right now... Was money.

Her talisman were selling extremely quickly, generating enormous profits.

Every week, Lana was receiving nearly two hundred million dollars in payouts.

In addition to that, the corporation she had invested in paid her royalties for every piece of equipment sold.

Each unit alone earned her ten thousand dollars.

With millions of units being sold, nearly fifty million dollars was deposited into her account every single month.

It was an absurd amount of wealth.

By now, Lana’s estimated net worth had already reached somewhere between seven to eight billion dollars.

’If I just leave that money sitting in the bank...’

She lightly rubbed her fingers together. ’I’ll regret it sooner or later.’

Money needed to move. Money needed to grow.

Investing it into something meaningful was far better than letting it stagnate.

When Monica finally processed everything Lana had just said, her entire expression changed.

Her eyes lit up with excitement. "If that’s the case..."

She suddenly stood up. "Then let’s do it."

Her voice carried clear determination.

With that, Monica happily left the room, already beginning to think about the massive plans ahead.

Lana remained seated for a moment.

Since she had already taken the day off from university, she realized she still had plenty of free time.

’It would be nice to relax for a bit...’

Without thinking too much, she sent a message to Naina and invited her over.

She genuinely wanted to spend some time with someone, and luckily Naina happened to be free as well.

When the two of them met, Naina immediately rushed forward and hugged Lana tightly.

Lana blinked in surprise.

But as she looked closely at Naina’s face, her expression slowly changed.

Naina didn’t look thinner. She hadn’t lost weight.

However, the exhaustion in her eyes was impossible to hide.

The faint dark circles beneath her eyes and the dullness in her gaze made it obvious.

She was mentally exhausted.

Lana gently patted Naina’s back. "What happened?"

Naina sighed softly. "I don’t want to ruin your mood."

Her voice sounded tired. "But honestly... you’re the only person I can talk to."

Lana guided her to sit down in the same private room where she had previously discussed business with Monica.

The door closed quietly behind them.

Once they were seated, Naina slowly began pouring out everything that had been weighing on her heart.

"I want to cut ties with my family."

Lana’s eyebrows lifted slightly. "They agreed. But they set a condition."

Lana remained silent, listening carefully. "I need to prove that I’m financially independent."

Naina rubbed her temples. "And not just with a job. They want proof."

Lana tilted her head slightly. "What kind of proof?"

Naina let out a helpless laugh.

"They want to see at least one hundred million dollars in my account."
