The morning sunlight of Jianghai pierced through the window panes of the old Lin family home in a way that seemed more honest. There were no longer any expensive silk curtains blocking its light, as most of the luxury furniture had been hauled away by bailiffs since dawn. In the now spacious and empty living room, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the dusty wooden floor. In front of him was only a clay teapot and two cheap tea cups he had bought from a flea market yesterday afternoon.
Outside the gates, a crowd of reporters and debt collectors hired by the Song family were shouting, demanding statements regarding the fall of the Jianghai Business Meteor. Their voices were noisy, filled with mockery intended to provoke anger. However, Lin Xuan remained silent. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt how the frequency inside his chest actually grew denser as the outside world considered him empty.
"The world may take the roof over your head, Xuan," he whispered to himself while pouring the tea. "But they will never be able to steal the sky that you keep inside your soul."
Light footsteps were heard from the direction of the kitchen. His mother, Madam Lin, walked closer wearing simple cotton clothes. Her pale face was now starting to flush with color, and her eyes radiated a peace she had never possessed even when wearing diamond necklaces worth billions. She sat beside her son, sipping the bitter tea as if it were a drink of the gods.
"Xuan, do you feel any regret?" his mother asked softly, looking at the room that was now completely hollow.
Lin Xuan looked at his mother with a very deep gaze. "Mother, we used to have everything but we lived in fear of loss. Now we have nothing, but we have each other in our entirety. Can you feel the frequency? This room is empty, but its soul is full."
Lin Haifeng entered from the backyard with clothes soiled by dirt after trying to fix the neglected garden. He looked physically exhausted. "Those debt collectors said I have to hand over the keys to this house tomorrow. They want us out without bringing anything."
Lin Xuan smiled thinly, a smile that carried the authority of a king amidst ruins. "Let them take the keys, Father. They think they are seizing a building, when in fact they are only seizing our burdens. We will perform a Gratitude Vibration. We thank this house for protecting us, and we release it so the universe can provide a wider space for the new Aura Nexus."
In the afternoon, a luxury silver car stopped in front of the gate which had been marked with yellow seizure tape. Han Seo-Ah got out, carrying a bag containing documents and several black credit cards. She entered the house with a face full of anxiety and guilt.
"Xuan, take this," Han Seo-Ah offered the bag. "This is my personal savings that cannot be tracked by my father. Use this to rent a decent place to live and start over. I cannot let you live like this after everything you have done for me."
Lin Xuan looked at the bag, then looked at Han Seo-Ah's hand. He did not reach for the bag, but instead grasped Han Seo-Ah's hand and led her to sit on the wooden floor beside him.
"Seo-Ah, if I accept your help now, I will only be rebuilding the same sandcastle that just collapsed," Lin Xuan said calmly. "I need this emptiness to attract gold that cannot rust. If I fill this space with emergency aid, the universe will have no place to send a greater manifestation. I must be at point zero to build a pure Energy Structure."
Han Seo-Ah was stunned. She looked around the empty room, then back at Lin Xuan. She realized that even though Lin Xuan wore a cheap t-shirt and sat on a dusty floor, his aura remained that of the most powerful figure she had ever met. "You really aren't afraid, are you?"
"Fear is a frequency for those who believe that the source of their power lies outside of themselves," Lin Xuan answered. "My source is within. And as long as I am still breathing, I still have infinite capital."
On the other side of the city, at the top of the Song Group office building, Song Jin-Ho was celebrating his victory with a champagne party. He looked at the monitor showing the total destruction of Aura Nexus stocks.
"Look at that boy! Now he is just trash on the outskirts of the city!" Jin-Ho's laughter exploded. He began to feel very careless, feeling that there was no longer anyone who could obstruct him. In his arrogance, he began signing highly risky illegal contracts, oppressing his old business partners, and firing senior employees without severance pay.
He did not realize that in his old house, Lin Xuan was meditating. Lin Xuan did not send a physical attack, he only performed Resonance Acceleration. He amplified the vibration of Jin-Ho's arrogance through his intention. In the law of LOA, arrogance that exceeds limits is an invitation for the law of karma to work faster. Lin Xuan was merely opening the door.
That night, Lin Xuan gathered ten of his former employees who came voluntarily to the empty house. They were people who remained loyal despite knowing the company had gone bankrupt.
"Young Master, we don't care about the salary," said one young engineer. "We saw what you did at the warehouse back then. We want to follow a leader who has a soul, not just a boss who has money."
Lin Xuan stood in their midst. "I do not promise a large salary tonight. But I promise Life Sovereignty. You who stand here when I have nothing are people with a pure loyalty frequency. Together with you, we will build a new headquarters."
Suddenly, Grand Master Gu appeared at the door. He did not bring a bag of money, but rather an old map scroll.
"Xuan, I have been watching you," Master Gu said in a heavy voice full of respect. "Most people would cry when their wealth is seized, but you actually look even stronger. In the northern outskirts of Jianghai, there is a piece of forbidden land owned by my family for three generations. That land has very pure natural energy, but no developer dares to build there because the frequency is too wild. I want to give it to you. Make it the Aura Nexus headquarters."
Lin Xuan accepted the map. He felt the vibration of energy from the old paper.
"Thank you, Master Gu," Lin Xuan said. "Emptiness does not mean absence, but rather a space ready to be filled by a greater miracle. Nine Heavens thinks they have driven me out of the city, when they have actually just given me a reason to master nature."
Lin Xuan looked out the window, toward the darkness that would soon turn into dawn. He knew, from this point zero, he would build something that could never be seized by banks or destroyed by any energy sword.
When you are no longer afraid of losing anything, that is when you truly become the master over everything. Never underestimate someone who dares to let go of their luxuries for the sake of principle, because such a person possesses a power sourced from emptiness—the space where the universe stores infinite possibilities.
