So far everything is perfect┉┉
Claire, who replaced the boy named Frank, didn’t think so. After getting to know this family of four during this period, Claire discovered that the inside story of this family was bigger than she imagined. Her sister Emma, who was the backbone of the family, was a The personal assistant of the vice president of the large chamber of commerce, and now the vice president of this chamber of commerce is challenging the city's supreme rulers.
The big businessman who almost monopolized the transportation industry in the eastern part of the continent—Lawrence Wick!
The largest slave trader on the entire continent—Philibus Cantor!
The leader of all legal institutions in the free city—Eunokia!
For Claire, her only two biggest enemies are Felibos, who once enslaved herself and Longa, and the second is the arena champion Gerkat who killed Longa. Originally, Lawrence and Eunogia were not with her. But the previous escape made Claire realize that Eunogia is her most dangerous enemy, that woman┉┉No! The female demon has some kind of power that makes her immune to the effects of gems, and Claire, whose only reliance now is the gem in her hand, said that she is a more dangerous existence than anyone else.
Although she temporarily escaped with the help of the demon master, Claire knew that her situation was still not good. In order to forcefully stay in the city and continue her journey of revenge, she did not care whether it would make her 'sister' feel anything. Something was wrong, and the fallen master used a spiritual suggestion on it to save himself from the trouble and stay. However, considering that he was forced to stay against Emma's will, in order to avoid appearing in front of her often and strengthening her resistance to mental suggestions, she had to persuade her to let her become a boarder and leave this home to live in the college.
Of course, this makes Claire very satisfied. She would rather live and move alone than in this home where she feels incongruous.
"I'm studying business management. What is this?" Claire, who was born as a slave, obviously couldn't figure out what Frank was studying. The dense numbers in the book made Claire feel that they were harder to understand than magic spells. .
"Plunder? Isn't this a deal?"
Throwing the book aside, Claire took out the spell book hidden in the space ring and read it. The devil master told himself that the nature of this world is power-based, and neither absolute financial resources nor absolute power can defeat it. Absolute violence, and Claire also deeply agrees with this view. At least after experiencing so much in the free city, power is the most important thing compared to wealth and power!
Before Eunogia appeared, he could rely on the gems in his hands to turn the entire city into his toy box. He could plunder whatever he wanted at will. He could go anywhere, even the most tightly guarded vault. It allows me to come and go at will. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't fully grasp the power of the gem, I would have used the hiding ability given by the gem to chop off the heads of Philibos and Gerkat, and all of this was not Wealth and power can do that! Even when she faced Eunogia later, the reason why she was able to defeat herself was not because of her wealth and power as the Big Three. The key to defeating herself was that she held power similar to her own!
strength! In this world, only power is absolute. People with power can rob others even if they have nothing, while people without power can only be robbed even if they are rich and powerful.
Claire knows what choice she should make!
"If Felibos really kidnapped me in order to suppress the businessman named Croside, maybe it would be a better thing." Claire, who was looking at the spell book, suddenly said: "┉As long as I can see him in person, I will I can kill him now and complete the contract with you."
Claire looked a little gloomy: "Then try to cause as much damage to Felibos as possible, let them lose this competition, and let them have nothing. Without money and power, they are just ordinary people."
"But what should I do? Felibos is a big businessman in the Free City. His power is too strong, and this city is not as simple as I thought before. Even with this gem, I am not invincible. " Claire's tone was cold, less arrogant and more rational than before, extremely cold and rational.
"You asked me to cooperate with others? Is it possible!"
The fallen master is guiding Claire bit by bit like an instigator. Because of the fragility of the body, mortals live in groups and make up for each other's shortcomings to survive. But Claire is helpless and only wants to rely on her own strength to destroy If you lose this city, the possibility of real success is very low. Originally, Claire's best choice was to leave here. With the help of the power of gems, it might only take a few decades for him to grow to an extraordinary level or even stronger. After accumulating enough strength, he could return here and defeat Felibos and Gerkat in one fell swoop. The possibility was the highest, but Claire chose to refuse and insist on staying.
Because of the contract, the fallen master could only choose to find another shortcut, calculating the best way to achieve Claire's wish under the existing circumstances, and instigating the use of the unstable factors in the city to expand the cracks and corrosion bit by bit. The foundation of this city is the right choice, but it takes time!
Of course, in some cases it may not take that long┉┉ because the number of manpower will be sufficient from the beginning!
Although she was discussing things with the fallen master, Claire's learning speed did not slow down. In order to maintain rapid growth, even though she knew clearly what the consequences of using gems would be, Claire still maintained her habit of using the power of gems to decipher the knowledge in the spell book at a high speed. With the brain speeding up, you can absorb this knowledge as quickly as possible to enrich yourself.
Claire is also very clear about this. Gems can speed up her learning and quickly understand profound knowledge, but they cannot allow her to gain experience. Knowing how to use it and being proficient in it are two different things, but there is nothing she can do. Now the entire free city is If he is wanted, no matter whether he is Claire or Misai, it is probably not safe to go out. And if Frank's identity is destroyed by him now, then he will really have no choice but to go back to the sewers to fight with the rats. Got stuck with bed bugs.
"Hard work!?" Claire's tone was a bit disdainful: "Do you think I am living a comfortable life now?"
Claire was a little confused about what the demon master meant by dreaming, but from its words, it seemed that he could just sleep and study at the same time. Claire didn’t intend to ask more about this, but another figure did. The thought of Eunogia, who almost killed her when she was escaping, came to Claire's mind.
The female demon had some kind of defense that neutralized the power of the gem, and the most important thing was that she said the gem belonged to her!
Thinking of this, Claire inadvertently clenched the gem in her hand again, as if holding the only hope: "I said Misty, can you tell me some news about Eunogia? It seems that you have I never mentioned her again in the evening.”
"Tell me? What is that about Eunogia, that female demon? The gem she said belongs to her, and what do the so-called Star Children mean?"
"Tell me some news, you must know something, right?" Claire was a little annoyed.
The demon master's tone was also very cold, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic at all, but Claire could feel the blood-curdling anger in the master's words. She didn't know whether it was because of the unprovoked betrayal of the female demon Yunokia or herself. That’s why this topic was brought up.
"Relevantly, I might face her again in the future. I need to know some information. According to the contract, you have the right to tell me this!"
Claire felt helpless for a moment. If the demon master didn't want to speak, then she really had no way to force it to speak.
However, for a moment, the fallen master changed the topic and revealed some secrets to Claire that even the most knowledgeable scholars in the free city could not know. Some ancient experiences that have been lost in human history. (~^~)
