"Chelsea, put down Elaine too... cough cough." There was another burst of coughing up blood.
Loren Hill slowly walked over from the side of the rock.
Angus was leaning against the stone wall, covered in blood, holding his daughter Elaine in his arms. Unfortunately, this girl who was flamboyant before has no heartbeat at this moment.
"Who!" The head maid next to him in a black dress and white fir looked at Loren Hill nervously, holding a rapier in his hand.
"Don't be nervous, I don't think this lady is here to kill me." Angus looked up and saw that it was the girl he met in 'Blossoming Summer Leaves' before, so he was no longer nervous, but lowered his head again and looked at With her daughter who has fallen into eternal sleep in her arms.
There was dark red blood on Elaine's chest, and she was obviously killed by someone stabbed into the heart with a sword.
It seems that it is really a vendetta, Roland Hill thought, and then took out three blood-activating potions and threw them at it.
"Drink this, it's good for the injury."
The housekeeper and the head maid next to him were still a little confused, but Angus didn't shirk, so he picked it up and poured it into his mouth.
After a while, his face became rosy again, and the coughing up blood was relieved a lot.
"Thank you." His voice was still a little hoarse.
"Well, it's nothing, I just saw the tragic situation on the road just now, so I came to see the situation." Roland Hill looked at the father who lost his daughter, and felt a little sympathetic, but he didn't stay any longer, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Can you wait? This kind lady." Angus coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"What's the matter?" The girl turned around in confusion.
"Are you going to Verga?"
"Yes."
"What are you doing there?"
"Make some money."
"I want to do business with you."
"Um!?"
Angus covered the mouth that was coughing up blood with a handkerchief, and took out a seal from his arms with a trembling right hand.

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." He said word by word.
Roland Hill looked at the bloodstained middle-aged man, with gray temples and some calluses on his hands, dark blue eyes staring at her with unwillingness and remorse.
The girl was silent for a while, then said, "What are you busy with?"
"The one I'm most sorry for in my life is my wife. She passed away early, leaving only one daughter, but I didn't keep the only daughter."
"I'm not a good husband. When I was out and about all these years, I had a relationship with a woman after getting drunk. She gave birth to a child for me. Now I'm just over 10 years old."
"I don't know if their mother and son's enemies also know about it, but I can't take this risk. So I want to ask you to take care of their mother and son."
"Why me, don't you still have loyal subordinates by your side?"
"Yes, I have no doubts about the loyalty of Serres and Chelsea, but under the nest, there will be no eggs. If both me and my only heir in the face are dead, then the Karites Chamber of Commerce will soon be It will fall apart and be eaten by everyone else."
"Without the protection and power of the Chamber of Commerce, those secret opponents will be more unscrupulous, and at that time, only a few loyal subordinates could not resist."
"So you want to?"
"I want to ask you to pretend to be my daughter, and then I will completely transfer the ownership of the Chamber of Commerce to you. I just ask you to protect my only child and his mother, so that they can live in peace."
The housekeeper and the head maid next to him were a little surprised when they saw this sudden scene, but they were not good at speaking.
"But I'm not the same as your daughter. Others won't believe it, and I'm not familiar with Verga, so it's easy to reveal my secrets."
Lorraine Hill carefully observed Angus' physical condition. Although the blood-activating agent temporarily replenished the blood and healed most of the wounds, the lungs had ruptured, and a lot of blood was already blocked. He couldn't stand it. Tonight, even if Lorraine Hill shot it, it was the same. Angus himself is not an extraordinary person, his physique is too poor, and some good healing spells and potions are difficult to take effect.
"I have always raised my daughter in the West Wind Kingdom. No one in Verga has seen her, but I just heard it orally, as long as you take my autograph and seal the suicide note and token, plus Chelsea and Ceres for you Prove it, and no one can question you."
"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with Verga, Ceres and Chelsea will tell you what's going on there. Besides, my daughter doesn't know anything about it, so it's not suspicious."
Roland Hill was silent for a while before speaking slowly.
"... ..it's a little rude, but doesn't this really raise suspicion?"
The girl slowly took off her hood, and the three people on the opposite side were briefly shocked. Silk-like silver hair slipped from the cap, white enamel-like skin, moist lips, slightly upturned nose, and thrilling red crystal-like eyes! This is a bit more beautiful than the goddesses depicted in those poems. The silver hair and crimson eyes formed a huge visual impact, making the three of them hold their breath secretly, for fear of breaking the crystal-like dreamy picture.
Seeing the shocked appearance of the three people on the opposite side, the girl sighed slightly, and then put the hood back on, which made the three people on the opposite side calm down.
Since waking up from a deep sleep, her appearance has become more and more attractive, perhaps because of a change in temperament, or a bonus of some talent, so that she is a little distressed. It's a good thing to look good, but too good-looking will bring a lot of unnecessary troubles.
In fact, Angus was a little confused before, but now he is completely relieved. No wonder the girl wanted to cover up her appearance.
"I took the liberty." Angus apologized for his rude request just now.
"I will transfer all the shares of my chamber of commerce to you, and I just ask you to protect the mother and child until the child starts a family."
"The Karites Chamber of Commerce is also well-known in Verga. I own 60% of its shares. You will not be disappointed by this reward."
"... well, I promise you."
If it wasn't for the task at hand, Loren Hill would not want to go into this muddy water, without extraordinary means, and just make money as an ordinary person. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not an unsolvable problem for her. As long as a start-up capital is accumulated, it is really not difficult to reduce dimensionality and attack the primitive business environment with the marketing methods in memory. But since someone gave her a pillow when she fell asleep, she didn't want to deliberately take shortcuts and avoid detours.
Hearing the voice of the girl's promise, Angus finally felt relieved, and then asked Ceres to take out a contract paper and start writing his suicide note.
The contract paper is a special paper with anti-counterfeiting effect. After writing, the special spell will be automatically condensed and cannot be modified again.
After writing, Angus pressed his handprint, personal seal, and then dripped blood on it, chanted a short spell, and finally the contract paper emitted a faint light, and the blood stains dried and solidified, forming a flower. Pattern of painted night flowers.
"You take my housekeeper and the head maid back, and then take this suicide note, you can prove that you are my heir without any flaws, and thus get all my property."
Loren Hill took the suicide note, then picked up the pen, ready to sign his name.
"Do I sign under my own name, or your daughter's name?"
"It's okay, as long as it's written by you and can make the contract react."
"Okay." Then the girl wrote a name, neither Elaine nor Roland Hill. She didn't want to be someone else, but she didn't want to affect her life after this incident, so she wrote another hypothetical name, Lacey.
