"Father, Miss Catherine has worked hard all the way, shouldn't she arrange a rest and wash up first?" Cliff suddenly asked.

"Yes, I was negligent. ”

Boredo smiled apologetically at Merlin, clapped his hands lightly, and a maid entered the hall in response, "Carla, please take Miss Catherine to the VIP room to settle in, and prepare hot water for bathing by the way." Miss Catherine, if you need anything, do not hesitate to command. ”

"That's it, then I'll take my leave. Merlin nodded slightly, and turned to follow the maid away.

After the figures of the two disappeared, an old man came out of a room in the hall, and when the three of Boredo and his son saw it, their expressions immediately became much more respectful.

"What is the identity of this young lady, Lord Salchi?" asked Boredo respectfully.

The old man was a wizard apprentice, the wizard robes on his body were new, and the days seemed to be very leisurely, he pondered for a while, and said: "She is a second-level wizard apprentice, at her age, in time, even if she can't be promoted to a full-fledged wizard, she will be at least a third-level apprentice, there is no doubt about it." The rest, you decide. ”

After speaking, the old man walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

"Father, it seems that Lord Salchi is angry, what should I do?

"No, I don't. Lord Salchi's relationship with our family is extraordinary, and he doesn't get angry. ”

Boredo didn't know if he really didn't understand, or because of other considerations, he directly rejected Cliff's proposal, but looked at his youngest daughter: "Chrissy, what do you think?"

"Father, I would like to give the Tulip Estate to this Miss Catherine. Chrissy reports to Boredo.

Boredo hesitated, not that he was reluctant to pay a heavy reward, Tulip Manor was built a hundred and forty years ago, and for a long time, it was the symbol of the Kaeya family. It wasn't until decades ago that they moved to Manshu, and the estate was left unused. Boredo was reluctant, but the other party saved his daughter's life after all.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the tulip manor is handed down from our ancestors, and we are descendants, and it's too late to keep it well, how can we give it away?" Cliff stood up at this time.

Boredo hurriedly said, "Cliff, what do you suggest?"

A glint flashed in Cliff's eyes, but he smiled mildly: "We have a lot of property in our hands, so it is better to give one to Miss Catherine, lest others say that our Kaeya family does not know how to repay kindness." Moreover, the other party became a second-level wizard apprentice at such a young age, which is also worth our effort. ”

"Makes sense. Boredo agreed with Cliff's statement: "But what inheritance do we give them?"

"It's too bad to give it away. It's too good, it's all we can't lose. I remember we had a shop down there that specialized in medicinal herbs, so I might as well give it to her. Cliff said leisurely.

Boredo frowned: "That store has been losing money, and it hasn't found any other profit points yet, is it appropriate?"

Cliff chuckled, "I'm not afraid they don't." We can keep more money on our books, and it's not shabby to send them away. What's more, we were the only supplier in that store, and we didn't have any outside business at all. The more dependent we are, the easier it is for us to be in control. Once you get used to taking this money, it is not so easy to get rid of it. ”

Boredo stretched his brows and said with a smile: "Cliff, you have grown a lot over the years, not bad. He turned his face to Chrissy and said, "Chrissy, learn more from your brother, and don't just play around all day." ”

"Yes. Chrissy replied with a bowbrow bowed.

"So let's do it. Boredo finally decided.

Chrissy suddenly looked up and said, "Father, let me be in charge of the department." Chrissy also felt that it was too ridiculous to have fun every day in the past, and wanted to learn to do things, so that she could be like her brother in the future, stand alone, and make some contributions to the family. ”

Boredo looked relieved: "My little Chrissy has finally grown up. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you will be responsible for this matter, if you don't understand anything, you can ask your brother, or come and ask me." Boredo encouraged Chrissy again.

Cliff was still smiling, and seemed to be quite relieved to see his sister's growth, but there seemed to be something cool in his smile.

At the reception dinner that night, Boredo gave a warm speech, thanking Merlin for her help to her daughter, and announcing that he would give her a gift of one of his shops as a token of gratitude.

However, to Boredo's disappointment, there was neither excitement nor gratitude on Merlene's face, but only a touch of indifference...... It's like a normal gift.

Merlin really didn't think so, she was more interested in the city of Manshu, this is the real city, far from the small places like Shibuya Town, if there is nowhere to go in a short time, this is a place to stay. When she first made the move, she didn't expect to get anything in return from these people, but since the other party proposed it, she was also happy to have a place to stay.

Early the next morning, Merlin followed Chrissy to the outside of a shop, "This is the shop, the shop is of a good size, the location is okay, if there is anything needed, the Kaya family is ready to help." ”

Merlin has always been extremely wary of the Kaya family. No matter how big the problem is, she won't ask Chrissy for help.

This can't be blamed on Mei Lin, none of the wealthy families she has dealt with have left a good impression on her. In Merlin's mind, these people are all branded as 'bad guys'. And Phile's kind of powerful goods made Merlin feel that these people's scheming was really terrible, and she was naturally reluctant to deal with them.

"Originally, I wanted my father to give you the Tulip Manor, and only something as valuable as the Tulip Manor could express my gratitude. Chrissy suddenly showed an angry look: "It's just that I didn't expect my brother to agree, I am a small person, and I can't do much, so I have to wronged you." Fortunately, although this store is small, there is still a lot of money on the books. And I'm going to try to get you some business as much as I can. ”

Chrissy looked sincere, but seeing that Merlin was still lukewarm, she couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, but she quickly sorted out her mood and walked into the store with Merlene.

In Cliff's room, he sat leisurely on a fluffy couch, the warm light so soft that you couldn't help but want to sleep. Cliff was sipping red wine pleasantly, and in front of him, a thin middle-aged man sat down.

"Young Master, Huck's entire family is missing, and there was a fire in Leda's house two hours ago, and none of the family was spared. It seems that the young lady has found out about the decoy potion. ”

"Are we pushing too much?" the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before he said.

Cliff shook his head disapprerovingly: "That's kind of interesting." Wouldn't it be boring?"
