Chapter 584 - The Most Important Little Things
The appointment was made in the evening, and Li Lingyi also expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.
"Inviting someone else's girlfriend to meet up at night, Erwin is really bold enough. Li Lingyi pretended to be ready to fight, "When I go over, I must teach him a good lesson." β
Ani on the side looked at Li Lingyi speechlessly and sighed, "You're back, can I still go with you?"
"Of course. Li Lingyi took Ani's hand, feeling the cool silky slippery, "You were originally invited, I will be your bodyguard or assistant to go over and see what Erwin wants to do." β
ββ¦β¦ Childish is not naΓ―ve. β
"What's so naΓ―ve about this?" Li Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am the most competent bodyguard, and I will firmly guard your physical safety and your heart." β
"Fleshy numbness. Arnie said coldly, but there was still a glint in his eyes.
"That's just for you. Li Ling took her over and hugged her in his arms, indeed, he would only show this side when facing Arnie. It can be said that if his current appearance is seen by people in the world of power before, I am afraid that his jaw will drop in shock. After all, in their eyes, Lord Avikrand is almost synonymous with indifference.
Feeling the strange feeling of grinding in his ears, Ani's soft body twisted twice, and said softly: "Don't make trouble, it's time to go see Erwin now." β
"Let that guy wait. Li Lingyi smiled and gently kissed the girl's neck, "No matter how important things are, they are not as important as the current ones." β
"You ......" Arnie didn't know what to say at all, and her whole face turned red.
Of course, after all, the two of them didn't stay warm for too long, and they got tired of it for a few minutes before they were ready to go.
Before leaving, both of them changed their clothes, and Li Lingyi changed into the black slim suit he had always worn in this world before. Ani, on the other hand, was wearing a trench coat and very high heels.
Maybe Li Lingyi used to tease Ani with her height, so unconsciously after a few years, she seemed to be quite concerned about this aspect, so she has always been eating healthy. By now, the net height has been about 1.634 meters, which is already good.
"Little Ani grows taller. Li Lingyi smiled and touched the girl's head, of course he also saw that Ani had grown in the time since he left, of course, there was still no way to compare with him, after all, he was nearly one meter eight, and he could still hold Ani in his arms like a child.
"Shut up. Ani used what he said to Li Lingyi a few years ago, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly after speaking, as if he remembered the time at that time.
At that time, both of them were still training in the corps, they were both recruits, and they did not deal with each other, and the confrontation exercises were always a group. Of course, Arnie didn't want to remember this, after all, she hadn't won a single time at that time, not to mention how bad her mood was.
But just like that, before I knew it, three years had passed, and now, the two of them finally fully understood each other's minds.
"Let's go. β
As soon as Li Ling came to the door, he opened the door very gentlemanly and owed a debt, "Little princess." β
"Hmph. β
With a smile in his eyes, Ani snorted coldly, and walked out of the door with his head raised like a queen, and Li Lingyi also followed quickly.
The two of them were going to the Investigative Corps in the Toloster district.
Before Li Lingyi left, he had already controlled the entire Toloster District in his hands, and he used two means.
One is the strong monopoly ability of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that since the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce was taken over by him, it has developed rapidly in a very short period of time, and it has grown stronger than before, basically annexing all the other chambers of commerce in the region.
And controlling the economy and employment is naturally equivalent to controlling the arteries of this area, not to mention that there are hundreds of security guards in the Chamber of Commerce alone, and they can take out firearms at critical moments, in this case, the firepower of the garrison corps is not even as good as the group of security guards of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce.
Another means is religion.
The Heavenly Dao Sect established by Li Lingyi is even faster than the development of the Chamber of Commerce, and because of the collapse of the Wall Sect and the deliberate support of the royal family, the entire Heavenly Dao Sect has now spread throughout the entire world within the wall.
If in the past, there were only some poor people at the bottom who believed in it, at that time, many nobles have also begun to believe in Tiandaoism, which also means that this religion officially has the status of "state religion".
And when the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce and this Heavenly Daoism are combined, you can imagine how much power it will burst out. Anyone who knows the details of this power is terrified, but no one dares to strike at any of them, because they know who is standing behind them.
Although the civilians didn't know, the higher-ups all knew very well that the reason why the world inside the wall was not destroyed was that Li Lingyi definitely had a huge credit. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid the Survey Corps would have been wiped out long ago, and the giants of wisdom would have fallen into the hands of the Marais.
In addition, the current king, that is, Sistria, is still a friend of Li Ling, and she absolutely supports him, so even the president has no way to shake Li Lingyi's position now.
Of course, there is no need for this, after all, Li Lingyi is still on the side of the people inside the wall in the final analysis, which the president believes and the investigation corps also believes.
On the way to investigate the stronghold of the Corps, Ani also specially told Li Lingyi that after he disappeared for a period of time, some upper-level nobles began to move and wanted to take advantage of a part of the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.
And at this time, the first to stand up was the Survey Corps led by Erwin, without their full support, it is really questionable whether the Chamber of Commerce would have flourished as it does now.
After Li Lingyi listened, he also nodded, and said in his heart that what he had done for the investigation corps was not in vain.
It's not that he brags, but he has changed a lot of the plot in the world of Attack on Titan, and how many people who were killed by the plot have been saved by him by reversing the plot. From Levi's elite class to the recruits of the 104th phase, if it weren't for him, there wouldn't be many alive now.
So now the Survey Corps can step up in his absence, instead of taking advantage of the fire, which is also a reward. Most importantly, they didn't have the idea of hitting Ani.
After all, Ani is a giantess, and the top management of this intelligence investigation corps knows it, if they want to, then with Alan and others, they may really be able to catch Ani.
Of course, it was fortunate that they didn't do that, otherwise the first thing Li Ling would do when he came back was to completely destroy the Survey Corps.
