Chapter 114: The Bottomless Cauldron – Harper's True Power

Kent leaned back in his chair, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Ethan, my friend, being rich means not joining some organization, not being bound by rules and politics. But let me tell you something—true wealth isn't just about money. It's about freedom."
Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Freedom?"
Kent nodded, tapping his fingers against the table. "Yeah. When a poor person's heart gets broken, you know what they do? They sit on the street to cry, or I'm in their tiny room and eat in cheap places. But when a rich person's heart gets broken, they take a world tour. They cry while enjoying a five-star hotel and eating thousands of dollars worth of steak. I want that type of freedom."
Harper, still gnawing on a drumstick, laughed. "Ha! You sound like you want to get rejected by someone and enjoy your freedom. 'True freedom comes from enjoying worldly desires,' or something like that."
