Chapter 399

Ash Chamber of Commerce, a chapter of the Chapman family.

Standing as the largest trading center of NUO Gold, tens of billions of dollars of business are transacted here every day. As a business giant led by a family business, the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce has many legends of rich people.

However, no one would have guessed that Qi Li Chapman, one of the three presidents who held the lifeblood of the Ash Chamber of Commerce, a mixed-race girl known as "Chapman's Witch" was... lying in bed.

"Ugh—"

Bella, the head maid of the Chapman family who watched Qi Li grow up, suddenly opened the curtains, and the cruel light rushed through the window into the room full of girlish tenderness.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Bella folded her hands on her stomach.

Qi Li was stuck on the bed as soft as a cream cake. When a strong light source hit her eyes, she turned over and rolled up the pink quilt, turning into a caterpillar wriggling on the bed.

"Bella, I remember not having a morning meeting today..."

Qi Li made a cat-like purring sound under the quilt, and said impatiently.

But this time, Bella did not joke with her little master in a pleasant manner. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, she said, "The Dark Night Country, please go home and visit the grave."

Qi Li, who buried her head in the pillow, 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.

"Land of Dark Night... Will these people still invite me?"

Qi Li raised the corners of 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. It's just a cheap and disgusting half-breed."

"Yes, they have no good intentions."

Bella said with some concern: "Since the fall of the Mother of Spiders, Dark Night Land has long been without a leader, as it should be... But recently they have pushed the title of 'Daughter of the Spider', Stephanie, to the new throne. , she is now the new leader of the dark elves."

"Although not every dark elf obeys her orders, she has at least re-commanded most of the night elves."

"Oh?" Qi Li squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "They still like to be mindless followers so much."

Bella continued: "The one who invited you this time is also Stephanie. She said that the night elves have a lot of big businessmen who want to cooperate with the Ash Chamber of Commerce. Her original words were, 'Instead of doing this business with others, it is better to do business with yourself. my little granddaughter does'."

"Huh?" Qi Li got up from the bed, pointed to her nose, and said angrily and amusedly, "I am her granddaughter?!"

"No." Qi Li didn't hesitate at all: "These mobs can't make any interesting splashes."

Bella did not immediately respond to Qi Li's order, but was silent for a moment, hesitated and said: "I'm afraid she 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 strata of the Nightland will undergo a large-scale filling and will move...'"

Qi Li was taken aback for a moment, as if she realized something, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and turned to look at Bella, her eyes were full of disbelief——

"Will move your mother's grave..."

Bella gritted her teeth and said.

"They dare!!"

Anger rushed to Qili's head, her silver eyes seemed to be burning with flames, she stood up abruptly.

"If they dare to touch an inch of my mother's tomb, I will make them pay the price..."

The gentle silver-haired woman flashed in Qi Li's mind, and that was the only woman who gave her tenderness.

She once held Qili in her arms, gently stroked the wound her peers had thrown with stones, and told her that she was a girl born with love, not a monster spurned by everyone.

Even though there is no love at all in this union, it is even painful for her, but she loves Qili...

Qi Li took a deep breath and said, "Get ready for the car."

Bella said, "Yes, to the Land of Darkness?"

"No." Qi Li said: "Go to the bookstore, I want to say goodbye to Mr. Lin..."

...

Lin Jie was sitting on the counter of the bookstore. It was rare for him not to read a book. He crossed his hands and propped his chin, with a serious expression on his face.

The muscular Joseph is wearing a slightly ill-fitting shirt, which makes him look stronger. Now such a muscular man is wearing an apron, holding a broom, and carefully helping to organize the books, which is full of disobedience.

Lin Jie hesitated to speak for several times, and the words that fell to his lips were swallowed back again, turning into a sigh with his forehead——

It was Joseph who turned Boss Lin into this.

When he ran out to find Joseph to buy tools for repairing the wall yesterday, he witnessed that Joseph cracked another wall with a punch.

This incident shocked Lin Jie's three views.

Afterwards, he specially ran to that wall and inspected it carefully. This reinforced concrete wall cannot be broken by ordinary people, not to mention that the force is relative. The strength of this wall can be hammered. Like a normal person.

Naturally, Lin Jie began to think, there seems to be only one explanation for this situation... In fact, Joseph is a superpower, right?

Or, you can't generalize between people, you people from another world can break the wall with one punch when you are extremely angry?

According to his previous research on documents from the Truth Society, as well as the existence of Candela, it has been proved that this world does have extraordinary abilities, but he always thought that it was something that only mythical creatures in the Middle Ages possessed, but now, this idea may be wrong.

In particular, when Lin Jie recalled that at the banquet, Ji Zhixu was not surprised by the sudden disappearance of Fred's entire family... that kind of attitude, as if he already knew it.

However, although Lin Jie was very skeptical at this moment, they had been communicating and getting along very normally all along.

If you ask strange questions like "Are you usually so strong, do you have superpowers?", no matter how you think about it, it's a bit... embarrassing.

How can I make things less awkward?

Lin Jie was lost in thought.

"laugh--"

A sharp brake sound outside the store interrupted Lin Jie's train of thought. He turned his body slightly and looked outside the door. A pair of beautiful small leather shoes were exposed from behind the door of the black limousine.

"Mr. Lin!"

The girl's lively voice just fell into Lin Jie's ears, and he had already outlined 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 catching a glimpse of a strange old man suddenly appearing in the bookstore, her expression changed slightly.

Although judging from the appearance and aura, it is completely different from the glorious great knight who was rumored to have died, but... it will appear at this point in time, which makes people more guesses for no reason.

In particular, Wilde, who was supposed to cooperate with Qi Li, has completely lost contact.

But she adjusted quickly.

"Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Qi Li 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 cute smile and two small canine teeth , jumped up and sat on the high stool in front of the counter, shaking his little feet.

"Why did you come so suddenly without saying 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 sticking to her, buried her head and didn't raise her head for a long time. After a while, she showed a pitiful face. A small face and two red eye circles.

"What's the matter, why are you crying?" Lin Jie stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's soft face, and asked with a frown.

Qi Li pursed her lips, pouted and said, "I woke up too early this morning, it's all Bella's fault."

"That's it... It's not a good habit to stay in bed."

Lin Jie smiled and said, "It looks like you're not here to borrow books today, are you? Do you want to say something?"

Qi Li raised her head, the owner of the bookstore behind the counter was condescending, her dark eyes remained the same as before.

It was as if she was far away from her, as if it hadn't changed since the first time we met many years ago.

It seems wrong for mortals to expect God's mercy, right?

Otherwise... Otherwise, how dare those people do it directly...

"I... I'm here to say goodbye to Mr. Lin today."

Qi Li's smile was not like her usual one, it was not cute, but with a strange gentleness and firmness, which was incompatible with her childlike appearance.

Lin Jie was taken aback, and heard Qili say: "I decided to protect a person who is very important to me, even if she is no longer there... But there are some things that must be adhered to. For this, I can make Sacrifice, just, maybe some people will be hurt."

"Mr. Lin, if it were you, what would you do?"

Qi Li raised her head and said in a somewhat confused manner.

Lin Jie reached out and touched her head, and said softly, "I've always felt that in this kind of dilemma, you just need to follow your inner thoughts."

"When you asked me, you should already have an 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 from before, right? Let me tell you, Qili is so cute, no matter what she does, she can succeed, because God is not willing Let you cry...Of course, I am not willing."

While comforting Qi Li, he reached out and wiped away the tears from Qi Li's face.

Although I don't know what happened, but at this time, of course I have to coax.

Qi Li nodded vigorously and clenched her fists: "...Yes, because I met Boss Lin, I am no longer the same as before."

"Okay, don't worry so much." Lin Jie joked: "Where do we not meet in life, maybe soon, we will meet in other places."
