Linke changed the subject.
It would not be difficult to solve Hubert's problem, but it was worrisome.
"The expansion of the first-tier cities is going smoothly. The first twenty first-tier city shops are currently making adjustments and decorations, and some mages are being invited to help at a high price. I believe that the opening will be completed soon, and the date for the opening will be decided by you. As for those things in the circle of big aristocrats, it can be considered as going smoothly.
That's good, "Linke replied before getting up to leave. Then, he suddenly turned around and said," After that, I'll let O'Nei take care of some of the matters within the chamber of commerce. Nicole still needs more time to cultivate.
Lance started, then bowed deeply.

The underground training room wasn't too dark.
Of course, just by relying on the small amount of light provided by the building's design, it was impossible to reach such a level. Linke had reinstalled magic lamps in every cultivation room for the duration of the day and night.
Training was a lonely process.
Every professional is familiar and must overcome this obstacle.
When a person repeats something day after day, year after year, the greatest test is whether or not he can persevere.
Because being willing to do it and being forced to do it were two entirely different effects.
Rincewind was a transmigrator, so he had not experienced the same repeated, fruitless frustration that Cohen had experienced when he was a child, nor the least bit of surprise that he had finally succeeded. He had come to this body, and so he had these abilities, as if they had been born to him.
He liked to train.
Because in his previous life, he would often be alone in a corner, thinking and daydreaming. For him, being able to experience the tiny, fairy-like floating energy particles during his cultivation was already a type of happiness, because they were just like the partners in his childhood fantasy. In a lonely place where everyone had left him, he would tirelessly accompany himself.
In a way he saw them as friends.
Therefore, his cultivation speed was also extremely fast.
The wind has its charm, while the darkness has its brilliance.
When Lin Ke's wind-type magic energy smoothly broke through to the sixth stage of Bear Strength, the dark magic energy wrapped around the black stone also entered the seventh stage of Bear Strength without any obstructions, as if the bottleneck that should have been difficult to overcome simply didn't exist.
This shocked Link and filled him with anticipation at the same time.
If he could one day raise the power of his wind magic to the level of the bear power rank 9 like Neil, would the power of the darkness element reach the same level of tremendous strength as this time?
Strictly speaking, he was already a High Rank Bear-Force caster!
But he could not share this joy with anyone.
He couldn't even use this power because once he was discovered by the most powerful people on the continent, he wouldn't even be able to hide in the core headquarters of the Storm Ocean like Wendell.
It was impossible for him to activate the huge and terrifying teleportation portal.
Besides, he had a lot of things Wendell didn't have.
For example, his parents, companions, relatives, family, as well as the present commerce and friends were all things that he could not give up on.
The swelling and elation of this power lasted only a short time before it vanished.
He was a Xiong Li at the sixth step, a wind element mage.
He was just a powerful wind magus of the sixth step.
He stood up, brushed off the dust, and walked out of the villa with his head held high as he looked up at the setting sun in the distance.
Although he didn't see the sunrise because of the position of the War God Academy, when he lost some things, the heavens would give him some. This was the best place to see the sunset in the entire capital.
"Hey, Cohen, have you finished your training?" Hubert appeared in the yard of the villa like a ghost and approached Lin Ke. With a strange expression, he asked, "How is it? Has something big happened recently?"
"Don't go to that place anymore, Big Cousin," he said as he stared into Hubert's panicked eyes. "You weren't born to be a good actor."
Hubert took two steps back, hoping to put a bit more distance between himself and Link. He forced a smile and said, "Speak …" What are you talking about? Cohen, I... What play am I acting, I don't understand? "
Lin Ke shook his head, "Look at you now, do you expect me to still firmly believe your words even after seeing your current appearance? "Don't go to that place anymore. Promise me that I'll take care of everything else for you."
Hubert's face kept changing nonstop, not saying a word.
Hearing the noise, Xue'er and Lilisse came to the courtyard and watched from afar. After that, they sent Nicole's maid and Melly back to the villa.
Neil paced up behind Link and stood still, staring at Hubert.
"Hahaha, I have no choice, right?" Hubert let out a bitter laugh, looked at Link, then looked at Neil who was behind him. Neil seemed to ask but didn't seem to ask, then turned around to look at Little Flower who was already crying and said gently, "Did you see that? This is the nobility. They hold great power, but they only talk about benefits, they call the wind and summon the rain, but they ignore all emotions. This is the aristocracy.
"No, young master Hubert, what you've done is good enough. He's brought this upon himself. He can't blame anyone else, and he can't blame anyone else. You've already done enough for me, I've let you down." Little Flower kneeled on the ground and hugged Hubert's leg.
"You have failed since you chose to comply with the demands of those lowly characters," Rinko said mercilessly. "I have never considered it foolish to put in all your effort for the sake of someone who loves you, but is it really possible to be played around with like a puppet and get what you want in the end? When you sent my information to those people and got sold by them for a high price, did you really think that they would be satisfied and let that gambler go? "
Link raised his voice and shouted, "What a joke! Unless I, Link, fall down from a high ground one day and no one is interested in my information, unless the Murters family has not fallen to the point where they can't arouse any desires from anyone, then their threat will stop! " He ruthlessly said, "You said that the nobles don't care about relationships, but when you handed information regarding your own brothers to someone who clearly has ulterior motives, have you thought about how much damage these things will do to me? Or do you think that I, Cohen, was born as your enemy in this family?!"
Hubert froze.
