Chapter 23 - The Lifetime of Piao: Chapter 21 — The Viewers

[User: SkyThread]Whoa… that was insane.

[User: RiverGlass]I know, right? The tension in that room is crazy.

[User: PaperDream]But why did he eat the paper? Wouldn't option one have been better? Why eat paper instead of letting people talk about what was written on it?

[User: FloorMight]Maybe there was incriminating evidence on it. Did you see how pale he got when he read it?

[User: InkAndAsh]Yeah, I saw that. He went white immediately.

[User: PaperDream]Still, eating it is so weird… He could have sold that paper for a lot of money.

[User: TreeCounter]That's what I'm saying! Paper is insanely expensive now. We barely use it anymore because everything is holograms. Trees are protected, and cutting them is heavily regulated.

[User: StarSaver]And she gave him TWENTY MORE SHEETS and an ink bottle. Do you know how much that's worth?

[User: CoinCounter]He could literally buy a house in the capital with that. A mansion, actually. With land.

[User: SoftBreeze]That's money I'll never see in my lifetime, and he's eating it…

[User: OldArchive]It's not just that the Piao family is rich. They're one of the few families that still grow and restock their own trees on their own land. They don't rely on public forest resources, so the paper restrictions don't affect them the same way. Their paper has always been the finest quality.

[User: PaperDream]Man… I wish I could touch that paper just once.

[User: SkyThread]He actually looks like he's enjoying it. I wonder what it tastes like.

[User: LotteryLost]Ugh… I'm so jealous. I wish I had won the lottery. I could have been there in person.

[User: ConfusedViewer]Wait, what lottery?
