Yili Nuojin's largest trading center, where tens of billions of dollars in business are transacted every day. As a business giant led by a family business, the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce has many legends about the rich.
But no one could have imagined that one of the three major presidents who held the lifeline of the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce, a mixed-race girl known as "Chapman's Witch"—Qili Chapman was... at this moment in bed.
"Shh-"
Bella, the head maid of Chapman's house, who watched Qili grow up, slammed open the curtain, and the cruel light penetrated the window and rushed into the room full of girlish tenderness.
"Miss, I'm sorry." Bella folded her hands on her stomach.
Qili sank into the bed that was as soft as a cream cake. When the strong light source hit her eyes, she rolled over and rolled up the pink quilt, turning into a caterpillar squirming on the bed.
"Bella, I remember not having a morning meeting today..."
Qili made a cat-like purr under the quilt and said impatiently.
But Bella didn't joke with her little master this time, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Dark Night, please go home and visit the grave."
With her head buried in the pillow, Qili was silent for a moment, then turned her head to Bella, her silver eyes showed a bit of sharpness, and she didn't look sleepy at all.
"The Land of Darkness... Will these people still invite me?"
Qili raised her mouth, stretched out her hand to look at her delicate dark skin, showed a sarcastic smile, and said in a low voice, "I thought that in their eyes, I was just a by-product of a transaction and should be thrown away. Just a cheap, disgusting half-breed."
"Yes, they are not at ease."
Bella said with some concern: "Since the fall of the Mother of Spiders, the Land of Darkness has long been headless, as it should have been... But recently, they put Stephanie, who has the title of 'Daughter of Spiders', on the new throne. She is now the new leader of the dark elves."
"Although not every dark elves obey her orders, she has at least regained command of the vast majority of the night elves."
"Oh?" Qili narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "They still like being a mindless follower so much."
Bella continued: "This time I'm also inviting you, Stephanie. She said that the night elves have a big business and want to cooperate with the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce. Her original words were, 'It's better to do this business with yourself than with others little granddaughter to do'."
"Huh?" Qili got up from the bed, pointed to her nose, and said angrily and funny, "What kind of granddaughter am I?!"
"No." Qili did not hesitate at all: "These rabble can't make any interesting splashes."
Bella didn't immediately respond to Qili's order, but was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I'm afraid she already knew that we would refuse, so she said, it doesn't matter if you refuse, but there is something to tell You—'Because of the collapse of the lair where the Mother of Spiders is located, the formations of Darkland will undergo a massive filling and will move...'"
Qili was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize something. She suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at Bella, her eyes full of disbelief—
"will move your mother's grave..."
Bella gritted her teeth.
"They dare!!"
Anger suddenly rushed to Qili's head, her silver eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and she suddenly stood up.
"They dare to touch an inch of my mother's grave, and I'll make them pay..."
The gentle silver-haired woman flashed in Qili's mind, and she was the only woman who had given her gentleness.
She once held Qili in her arms and gently touched her wounds that were smashed with stones by her peers, telling her that she was a girl born with love, not a monster who was spurned by everyone.
Even though there is no love in this union, even painful for her, she is in love with Qili...
Qili took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the car."
Bella said, "Yes, to the Land of Darkness?"
"No." Qili said, "Go to the bookstore, I want to say goodbye to Mr. Lin..."
…
Lin Jie was sitting on the counter of the bookstore. He rarely read a book. He crossed his chin with his hands, his face was solemn, and his eyes fell on Joseph, who was cleaning at the book cafe in front of him.
The muscular Joseph was wearing a slightly ill-fitting shirt, which made him look stronger. Such a muscular man is now wearing an apron, holding a broom, and carefully helping organize books, full of disobedience.
Lin Jie hesitated several times, and the words that fell on his lips were swallowed back and turned into a sigh on his forehead—
It was Joseph who made Boss Lin like this.
When he ran out to find Joseph to buy tools for repairing the wall yesterday, he saw with his own eyes that Joseph cracked another wall with a punch.
This incident shocked Lin Jie's three views.
Afterwards, he also went to the wall to investigate carefully. The reinforced concrete wall could not be broken by ordinary people at all, not to mention that the force is relative. The strength of this wall can be hammered. Like nothing.
Naturally, Lin Jie began to think, there seems to be only one explanation for this situation... Actually, Joseph is a superpower, right
Or, it is impossible to generalize between people. When you people from another world are extremely angry, you can smash the wall with one punch
According to his previous research on documents from the Truth Society, as well as the existence of Candela, it has been proved that there are supernatural abilities in this world, but he always thought that it was something that only medieval mythical creatures possessed, but now, this idea may be Incorrect.
Especially, when Lin Jie recalled that at the banquet at that time, Ji Zhixu was not surprised by the sudden silence of Fred's entire family... That kind of attitude seems to have been known.
However, although Lin Jie was very suspicious at this time, they had always communicated and got along very normally.
If you were to ask a strange question like "Do you usually have such a strong force, do you have superpowers?", it would be a bit... embarrassing to think about.
How can I make things less embarrassing
Lin Jie fell into deep thought.
"laugh-"
A sharp braking sound outside the store interrupted Lin Jie's thoughts. He turned slightly to the side and looked out the door. A pair of beautiful little leather shoes were exposed from behind the door of the black limousine.
"Mr. Lin!"
The girl's lively voice fell into Lin Jie's ears, and he had already sketched the image of the owner of the voice in his brain.
The girl in a white dress stepped out of the car and stepped into the bookstore with ease. After seeing a strange old man who suddenly appeared in the bookstore, her face changed a little.
Although in terms of appearance and aura, it is completely different from the glorious knight who was rumored to have died, but... it will appear at this point in time, but it makes people more guessing.
In particular, Wilde, who was supposed to cooperate with Qili, has completely lost contact.
But she quickly adjusted.
"Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Qili took brisk small steps, her silver hair fluttered in the air, her skirt fluttered, and she drew a beautiful arc in the air, showing a lovely smile and two little tiger teeth , jumped up and sat on the high stool in front of the counter, dangling his little feet.
"Why did it come so suddenly, and I didn't say hello in advance."
Lin Jie immediately put on a business smile, and looked down at the little girl with a gentle face, but Qili, who was always sticky, buried her head and didn't raise her head for a long time. After a long while, she showed a pitiful picture small face and two red eye circles.
"What's the matter, why are you crying?" Lin Jie asked with a frown, pinching the girl's soft face.
Qili pursed her lips and pouted: "It's Bella's fault for getting up too early this morning."
"That's it... It's not a good habit to stay in bed."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "It looks like I'm here to borrow a book today, right? What do you want to say?"
Qili raised her head, the owner of the bookstore behind the counter was condescending, her dark eyes as before.
It was as if it was far away from her, as if it had never changed from when we first met many years ago.
It seems to be wrong for mortals to expect God's mercy, right
Otherwise... Otherwise, how could those people dare to do it directly...
"I... come to say goodbye to Mr. Lin today."
Qili had a smile that wasn't like her usual, not cute, but with a peculiar tenderness and firmness, which was incompatible with her childlike appearance.
Lin Jie was stunned and heard Qili say: "I decided to protect a person who is very important to me, even if she is gone... But there are some things that must be adhered to, and for this, I can make sacrifices , but, it may affect some people."
"Mr. Lin, what would you do if it were you?"
Qili raised her head and said in confusion.
Lin Jie reached out and touched her head, and said softly, "I never felt that in such a dilemma, you just need to follow your inner thoughts."
"When you asked me, you should already have the answer in your heart, not to mention... You have come to say goodbye to me."
Lin Jie smiled and said: "You can go wherever you want. You are completely different now, right? I want to say that Qili is so cute, no matter what she does, she can succeed, because God is not willing Make you cry... Of course, I don't want to."
While comforting Qili, he reached out and wiped away the tears from Qili's face.
Although I don't know what happened, but at this time, of course, it is to be coaxed.
Qili nodded vigorously and clenched her fists: "...Yes, because I met Boss Lin, I'm no longer the same as before."
"Okay, don't worry so much." Lin Jie joked: "Where will we not meet in life, maybe soon, we can meet somewhere else."
