"Don't worry about him, I already have arrangements."
Emma nodded and recorded it. Since the Vice President has made arrangements, she doesn't need to ask anything else.
Except for these two major events, the others are all daily affairs. Some small things are usually handled by Emma, but now is an extraordinary period. The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is working with the top three giants in the free city. For this reason, Croside specially spent more energy to supervise anything that may be exploited and attacked by the other party. If it were such a high-intensity work, ordinary people would have collapsed from exhaustion, and as a black dragon Croside didn't feel this at all. On the contrary, the originally boring work also made Croside enjoy it. After all, he watched his enemy step into the trap bit by bit, and finally ended up in pain with resentment and despair. After dying miserably, Croside could feel the blood belonging to the black dragon in his body beating excitedly.
After finishing most of the things, Closide suddenly stared at Emma closely. The beautiful female assistant was a little overwhelmed by Closide's abnormal gaze for a long time. In Emma's memory, the assistant Long Closed had never cast such a look on any woman, and for a moment a red glow appeared on Emma's face.
"Emma┉┉How long have you been working at my place?"
"It will be four years soon, Mr. Vice President."
Emma replied subconsciously, but the female assistant was a little confused as to why Closide asked this.
"What do you think of the treatment here?"
Emma smiled and nodded: "Very good, although I'm usually a bit tired, but in terms of remuneration, Your Excellency, you are a generous person."
As Closide's assistant, Emma's monthly salary is 34,000 lien. Occasionally, Emma can get some bonuses after completing large-scale transactions. After a year, the fixed salary of a female assistant is about Around half a million. In the free city, Emma's income is considered to be above the middle level. It's just that Emma's father died young, and there is a mother, a brother and a sister in the family who all need to live on her salary. Especially when Emma was in college, she had to borrow a debt to pay for her tuition. For this reason, Emma's life was actually tight while living and paying off the debt.
Emma's birth in the free city was not good. In fact, she was from a family that was about to go bankrupt and be classified as a slave class. Emma, who grew up in the free city, looked at the people who were sent to the slave market every day. Including a good friend she has known since childhood, in order to avoid bad luck befalling herself and her family, Emma has been working part-time to raise tuition for herself to enter the college. He has no magical talent and his athletic abilities are average. Emma had no choice but to major in trade, management and other courses at the college. As a hobby, Emma also taught herself some pharmacy. Although Emma has not passed the pharmacy exam for many years, her identification of various plants has failed. is very excellent.
The only gratifying thing is that after Emma graduated, she successfully applied for a job in the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. Soon the girl came into Closide's sight with her excellent work ability. In the end, the vice-president who dominated the chamber of commerce took the lead. Emma was promoted and Emma was able to get this well-paying job. It is worth mentioning that after a large-scale trade was completed the year before last, the chamber of commerce awarded bonuses to many employees. As the assistant to the vice president, Emma was lucky enough to receive a reward of a full 100,000 lien. With this bonus and her daily savings, Emma finally paid off this debt. After becoming debt-free, Emma finally had some spare money to buy some appliances for her family. Recently, Emma successfully moved her family out of a street with poor security and chose to live in an upper-class area close to the Chamber of Commerce.
With the development of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, Emma's reputation as Croside's assistant has gradually grown. Every day when she goes home to relax in a nearby bar, many men come to chat with Emma. After all, if Closide can become the next president of the Chamber of Commerce, then the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce will become a chamber of commerce with great importance in the free city, and Emma's identity as Closide's assistant will also become very important. . In addition to the men who covet Emma's identity and beauty and want to follow Emma's power and rise to the top, there are also many people who take the opportunity to try to build a good relationship with Emma so that they can get a share of the pie when they squeeze into the top class of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce sent many gifts and invitations.
Facing an overwhelming silver bullet offensive. Emma held on to her bottom line because she knew exactly who she relied on to get all of this. Emma, who has worked beside Croside for a long time, knows very well that her immediate boss is not someone who can be fooled casually. Nothing can escape Croside's eyes. The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce can develop To this extent, it can even be said that it is entirely the power of Croside alone.
"Your family is doing well lately, right?"
Croseid asked the maid to bring twice as much coffee as he drank with Emma while talking.
"They are doing well. Both of my younger siblings have entered the academy. My younger brother, like me, has chosen business-related academic courses. My younger sister has been determined to have a good talent for magic. According to the teacher's judgment, she is expected to be able to Become a fourth-level magician before the age of sixteen."
Emma was in a good mood today. After the work in hand was completed, the female assistant also chatted with Croside without a word.
As he spoke, Croside suddenly took out a bank card and threw it in front of Emma: "Emma~ I'll give you a suggestion. It's best to arrange to send your family to live elsewhere as soon as possible. A more secluded place would be best.”
"Huh!?"
Emma was stunned. Closide continued at this time: "You should also know who the enemy we are facing now! The laws and rules are made by them. Even in the upper area, they cannot guarantee the safety of your family. When the time comes, I I don’t want you to do something irrational because of your family, got it?”
As an assistant, Emma immediately understood what Croseid meant. The female assistant had actually long planned to temporarily move her family out of the Free City and live in seclusion for a period of time. After all, this period of time was indeed too dangerous. Although the possibility of squeezing into the first level of the Free City made many staff excited and even worked harder, there were also many people who knew the dark side of the Free City who were timid. After being squeezed into the first level, many members of the Chamber of Commerce were directly frightened into resigning.
"There are five million Lien in Kari, which is enough for your family."
"This is too much, Your Excellency┉┉"
Emma was a little surprised. The money in it was enough for her family to live a carefree life. If it was just to move her family, she wouldn't need to give so much.
Closide watched Emma tap the card with her finger and said: "Including temporarily buying out your life┉┉Even if you encounter something unexpected in the free city, you don't have to worry about your family."
Emma nodded and understood what Croside meant. Now that the game has reached a critical moment, those whose interests have been harmed by the competition from the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce may have to use other than economic means to deal with the Chamber of Commerce. As a vice-guild The assistant himself is indeed the most worthy target.
Closide waved his hand to indicate that Emma could leave: "During this period, I will deploy some people to protect your safety. You should also pay special attention to yourself."
Emma nodded and withdrew with a grateful expression. Croseid's expression changed at this moment and revealed an intriguing expression. Lawrence invited a warlock who was good at puppetry to control Emma to obtain information about himself. One party's intelligence, this matter has been confirmed through Lakshmi and the spies. For Closide, this is a good opportunity to use his tricks. Sometimes false information is more terrifying than no intelligence. Emma needs to sacrifice for this┉┉
No matter how talented Emma is, she is just a mortal in the eyes of Croseid. There are too many people in his hands who can replace her. It's just that Emma has been with him for so many years, and as a reward for her many years of hard work, Closide finally specially prepared the aftermath for Emma. Telling her this today is actually doing the final things for her. bid farewell.
The soul of a person controlled by the puppet technique will be greatly damaged. Even if the puppet technique is released in the future, the whole person will be paralyzed due to damage to the soul and mind! Once Emma is controlled by Lawrence, he will never let Emma continue to live.
Crossside has sacrificed many lives while walking on this road. Emma is not the first person nor the first. This road inherently requires countless lives as the cornerstone. For this reason, Emma’s sacrifice Croseid didn't care.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Emma walked in with a strange expression after getting Croside's permission.
"Your Excellency, Vice President~ There is a lady outside who claims to be your sister. She is waiting for you in the VIP room now."
"elder sister!?"
Closide was stunned but could not react in an instant. He stood up and walked out with a sullen face, and Emma hurriedly followed behind.
In the VIP lounge of the Chamber of Commerce, Closide met a woman who claimed to be his sister. She had black hair and black eyes and a perfectly charming face. However, no matter how she looked, this woman looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She looks like a young girl, more like a younger sister than Croseid's older sister.
