"Chapter 217: Elise's Past"
"At that time, most of the things in the family's warehouse were removed, but my father was planning to trade with the tribes in the south, and I thought it would be a big business to make money, but it turned out to be a disaster. My father didn't have anything to give to the southern tribes, so all the trade routes that my family had accumulated before were cut off, and not only that, but the family also owed a bunch of debts!"
"After this incident, my father ran all day long, trying to make a comeback. But he underestimated the meanness of human nature, and those former friends and confidants avoided my father one by one, until finally all the creditors forced him to the door, and my father committed suicide because he was overwhelmed. After my father's death, the sky was about to fall, and all the debts fell on my mother, who had a very good business acumen when she was young, and it was not until she married my father that she chose to fade out of the mall and become a good wife and mother. β
"Faced with huge debts, my mother's hair soon turned gray when she was only forty years old. At that time, in addition to my mother, there was a younger brother in the family, and as the eldest in the family, I felt that I needed to help my mother do something, so I began to learn the way of business from my mother. Maybe it's because I inherited my mother's good blood, and I also have a good talent for business. Not only that, but I was also very bold, and after studying with my mother for a while, I realized what is the most important thing in the way of business, that is, "capital"!
"But at that time, the family could no longer come up with the money, so we still had to borrow money, and our family's debts were already a little scary at that time, and no one dared to lend us money. So I thought of a good way, and that was to take advantage of human greed. I found the people who had lent my father the money, and I came to the door one by one with IOUs, and I told them that our family could no longer pay these debts. When these people heard this, they were naturally extremely angry, and they blocked my door one by one, and my mother had nothing to do about it, and finally I stood up. β
"I told them that there would be no money, but I was willing to give them the trade routes between my family and the tribes in the south. At that time, many people in Noxus knew that it was extremely profitable to do business with the tribes of the south, and often only needed a bag of grain in exchange for a considerable amount of gold and precious stones. But there were very few people who really dared to go to the south to do business with those tribes, because there were often wars between those tribes in the south, and death was commonplace. So in the end, as I thought, those people didn't agree with my proposal. β
"So I told my true intentions, and I asked them to lend me some more money, and I went to trade with the tribes in the south. and promised them that I would pay them back double the amount they owed when the deal was completed, and the temptation of these huge fortunes led them to compromise. Because they know very well that as long as I can complete the deal with the tribes in the south, there will definitely be enough money to pay them double. β
"So my first pot of gold was soon in my hands, and it was easier than I had imagined, but it was a hot potato, and if I couldn't do something with it, the fate that awaited our family would be ruined. However, where do I have a trading channel with the tribes in the south, these things used to be handled by my father, and my mother and I don't know how my father used to trade with the man's tribe. In the end, I chose to go to the south alone and recreate a channel for trading with the southern tribes. β
"I can't explain the difficulties I went through, but in the end I succeeded, and I came back from the south with a lot of gold and other rare items. I still remember my mother's expression, the incredulity on her face. When I heard that I had returned from the south, the creditors had immediately blocked my doorstep, and I was happy to fulfill my promise to repay them double the amount my father had borrowed from me. After paying back all the money I owed, the dark clouds that were pressing down on our family finally dissipated, and not only that, but I also gained the friendship of the tribes in the south. β
"Because when others trade with them, they think more about how to make more money, while I, on the contrary, think about how to make profits, or how to maximize the profits of both parties. The southern part of Noxus is very complex and the environment is extremely harsh, and tribes often fight with each other for resources, and they don't have much ambition, just to survive. If they can get the resources that the entire tribe needs without war, this is their greatest desire. β
"When I first went to meet the chiefs of the tribes, I was met with their hostility, and they did not have any good feelings for the merchants of Noxus, because the merchants only pursued absolute interests, and did not care whether the tribes lived or died. It wasn't until I offered the price of the deal that the chiefs' attitude towards me changed. The merchants who used to trade with them often made ten times the profit, because the tribes were not friendly to them, they risked their lives to come, so they were very interested in profits. And my price is twice as low as those merchants, and I only need to make five times the profit. β
"After the first transaction, everything was much easier the second time I went to the Southern Tribes, and this time I brought more supplies. The chief of the tribe with whom I had traded was so grateful to me that he not only traded with me again, but also introduced me to several tribes with whom he had good relations. Soon my second transaction was also completed. β
"After that, it will be much easier to trade with those tribes, I only need to purchase enough goods at a time, and I don't have to worry about my safety along the way with the protection of those tribes. Eventually, I became the largest supplier to the southern tribes, and my fortune grew at an unimaginable rate, and soon I elevated my family from a small nobility to a great Noxian nobility, and my name began to spread among Noxian nobility. β
"But my good life didn't last long, because my rise hurt the interests of many people. Most of the tribes in the south were only willing to trade with me at this time, and were not willing to trade with other merchants, and even those merchants would not accept lower prices than me. Because the tribes were not short of gold coins and ores, they only needed food and necessities, and I met their needs, and they had enough money to pay. The icing on the cake is never as good as charcoal in the snow, so I quickly became a thorn in the side of those businessmen. β
"At that time, the largest merchant trading with the southern tribes was the Zaafan family, the Zaafan family was one of the nine ancient clans of Noxus, and they controlled a powerful legion of their own, and not only that, their old patriarch also had the strength of a level 16 rune grand master. So the consequences for me can be imagined, the Zaafan family soon found me, and it was the Grand Master Liufeng Zaafan who found me, and my fate began to change from that moment. β
"Grand Master of the Flowing Wind has given me two choices, either to cut ties with the southern tribes and never trade again, or to marry his grandson, Beiliu Za'afan. At that time, I was in the prime of my youth, and naturally I would not agree to marry someone I did not know, and under heavy pressure I had to cut ties with the southern tribes as Liufeng said. I've amassed a lot of money from doing business with those tribes before, and that wealth is enough for our family to spend a lifetime, so I don't care about it. The most important thing to be a human being is to be content and happy. β
"But I underestimated the shamelessness of Beiliu Za'afan, and I had only met him once, and this lustful fellow was attracted by my beauty. He ran to my house twice in three days, saying that he wanted to marry me, but I naturally refused to agree, so he stalked me to the death. But despite this, it didn't make me compromise, and in the end the brute actually began to reach out to my family. One day, after my mother and my brother were out of the house, he had them kidnapped, and then told me that if I didn't marry him, I would kill my mother and my brother. β
"I was so angry that I approached Grand Master Liufeng Za'afan and asked him to let his grandson release my family. But I didn't have any background at that time, this great master didn't even bother to pay attention to me, I was extremely angry at that time, but I was helpless. I took out all my wealth and tried to find those rune masters to help me rescue my mother and brother, but in the end, when I heard that the target was the Zaafan family, these people turned pale with fright. β
"Eventually, Beiliu grew impatient and gave me an ultimatum to kill my mother and brother if I didn't agree to him. I was already desperate, so I agreed to him, and soon I married into the Zaafan family. I had thought of killing Beiliu on my wedding day and then killing myself, but thinking about my poor mother and brother gave me the idea of breaking up. Just when I thought I was going to be ruined by that brute, an accident happened, on the wedding day, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Noxus, and the great general Svein united the nobles who were dissatisfied with the emperor Darkwell at that time to kill the immortal fortress, and before everyone could react, they killed Darkwell and seized power in Noxus. β
"With the alternation of the old and new regimes, purges and massacres were inevitable, and the Zaafan family, as Darkwell's loyal henchmen, was naturally targeted by Svein. The battle was extremely tragic, and the legions controlled by the Zaafan family lost more than half of them, and finally the Grand Master of the Flowing Wind committed suicide in order to protect the Zaafan family. After Flowing Wind's death, the Zaafan family surrendered to Svein, who kept his promise to the Grand Master of Flowing Wind and did not embarrass the rest of the Zaafan family. β
"Since that battle, the Zaafan family has declined, and almost all the descendants have been killed in battle, leaving only one seriously wounded Beiliu. After being seriously injured, Beiliu lost a leg, and most importantly, he also lost the ability to be a man, which is simply great news for me. Every time I see Beiliu's decadent appearance, my heart is extremely comfortable, and I wish that this titular husband would die. "Girls
"During the year of the coup, Beiliu didn't come to see me, but he made people watch me and didn't let me leave the Zaafan family. At that time, I also thought about it, as long as I didn't get spoiled by that brute, what did it matter if I was imprisoned. But I underestimated the shamelessness of that brute, since that battle, the hearts of the Zaafan family have been scattered, the only descendant of the family has become a cripple with a broken leg, and they can no longer see the future of this family. So many side branches were ready to break away from the Zaafan family, and after the beast of Beiliu knew about this, he actually found a man to come over in a frenzy, planning to borrow his seed to have a child to stabilize the hearts of the Zaafan family. β
Luica didn't interrupt Elise until he heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and scolded: "What kind of birdman, this kind of person should be chopped up with a thousand knives, chopped and fed to the dogs!"
Seeing Luica's angry look, Elise smiled charmingly, then kissed him and continued, "You're right, this kind of person should be chopped up and fed to the dogs, and I did it in the end." The three butchers chopped him up all day, and then I fed his minced meat to his favorite pet in life, and the brute ate it was so delicious!"
Hearing Elise's words, the corners of Luica's mouth twitched, and she asked weakly, "Did you really chop him up and feed him to the dog?"
Elise smiled lightly, and then said, "That's right, he was finally chopped up by me and fed to the dog, how about it, you are afraid that there is no little man." If you dare to fail me one day, I will probably do the same to you!"
Luiga gasped and quickly shook her head. "Don't dare, you're so ruthless that I'm a little afraid of you now!" Luiga pretended to look like she had seen a tigress.
"Giggles, you know that it's good to be afraid, so that you don't dare to bully people like this in the future!" Elise said to Louis in disgust. Seeing her so coquettish, the evil fire in Luica's heart began to rise slowly, and one hand began to climb up to Elise's delicate body, and said to Elise with a wicked smile: "The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic." I can't do it without bullying you, I'm going to bully you every day, before you chop me up and feed it to the dogs, I'd better hurry up and eat you!"
After saying that, Luiga directly pressed Elise on her body, "Livestock, go down, it's really not good." Giggles... Good husband, I was wrong, you let me go... Ahh
After a while, Elise collapsed into Luiga's arms exhausted, and she looked at Luica with silky eyes, her pretty face flushed.
"Well, do you want to chop me up and feed it to the dogs!" Luiga asked lightly, stroking the beautiful woman in her arms.
"Don't dare, don't dare, just spare me, you really won't feel sorry for people. I don't know which girl will be so unlucky in the future to marry you little bastard!" Elise said with a blank look at Luiga, and her voice was extremely lazy.
"Hehe, I don't know about others, you're going to marry me anyway. So the unlucky girl you're talking about can't be yourself!" Luica said playfully, looking at Elise.
"Marry me? Do you really dare to marry me? I don't have a good reputation, do you know why Qiu Aya and they are so afraid of me?"
"Oh, I'm really curious when you say that, so why are they so afraid of you?" asked Luica, curious.
"Because I've killed a lot of people, more than you think. When I knew that my husband was going to find a man to have a baby with me, I had already murdered him, so I found one of the largest dark organizations in Noxus, the Black Rose!, and finally I met the woman who changed my life. Others called her the Enchantress, and her real name was LeBlan, the leader of the Black Roses. β
"I told LeBlanc what I wanted to do, I told her I was going to kill Beiliu, and I thought LeBlanc would consider it or reject me outright. Because although the Zaafan family had declined at that time, it still had some influence in Noxus. What I didn't expect was that she actually agreed to me directly, but she had one request, and that was to join Black Rose to do things for her. β
"I had no other choice, so I said yes and she told me to go back. On the night I returned, the news of Beiliu's death came, and I was overjoyed to hear the news, knowing that it was Black Rose who had come to my aid. After Beiliu was killed, the lineage of the Zaafan family was broken, and the Zaafan family was about to fall apart. That's when LeBlanc found me. β
"LeBlanc gave me my first assignment to join the Black Rose, she put me in control of the Zaafan family, in fact, I didn't have that idea at the time, I just wanted to kill the North Stream and get out of that hellish place. But LeBlan's words made it impossible for me to refuse, because I had promised her to join the Black Rose Order. After I said yes, LeBlanc left, leaving me with a man named Kuropachi. β
"Black Eight is the supreme master among the Black Roses, his strength is unfathomable, until now I don't know what realm he is, but I once saw him kill a level 15 peak rune master with only one sword. It was above Beiliu's funeral, and I showed up at Beiliu's funeral with Beiliu's wife. At that time, the funeral was a mess, and no one would care about Beiliu, who was lying in the coffin at this time, and everyone was discussing how to break away from the Zaafan family, and began to argue for those interests. β
"Just when they were arguing at their height, I stood up and told them all that I would take over the Zaafan family in the future. I still remember the disdain they looked at at the time, but it was expected. β
