The manor at night is quiet.

Zidi slowly pushed open the door and entered the room.

Light a candle.

My father's study was still the same, and it was not much different from what I remembered.

The house is not big, but the lighting is very good. If it's daytime, the sun shines through the glass, and it shines brightly.

The study is simply furnished, and there is no oil painting on the wall, but a huge map of the continent. On it, Zidi's father made a lot of red and blue signs.

Whenever the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce expands somewhere, he changes accordingly on this map.

Zidi paused on the huge map.

Childhood memories come to mind.

When she was very young, whenever her father had some achievements, he gladly invited her mother to come and look at the map and tell her about the development of the chamber.

His mother used to make fun of him like a child.

My father pointed to some of the cities on the map that had not yet been outlined, and told my mother how long he expected to expand the Chamber of Commerce to those places. At that point, how and how will a certain business be improved, and what business will be greatly reduced in cost as a result.

Looking at her father, Zidi's mother will gradually show a worried look.

"Don't work too hard. That's pretty much it. She would have persuaded her.

The father shook his head: "Not enough, not enough, much worse." I'm going to set up branches of chambers of commerce here, here, and here! All the important cities, not to be spared!"

"And he did it......" Purple looked up at the map on the wall, and all the important cities of the empire were covered with various symbols. In addition, there are many special villages and towns.

What an amazing business achievement!

It's hard to imagine that this is what a black iron can do.

But it was this great achievement that became the cause of his death.

Zidi withdrew her gaze and paced slowly, finally reaching the back of her desk.

This huge mahogany desk is filled with pen and ink, manuscripts, and small easels. In the easel is a portrait of a father, mother, and Zidi standing together.

In the painting, Zidi is still very young, less than four years old, and is held in her father's arms, with her little head on her father's shoulder, and she is asleep.

Zidi sat down slowly, in the leather seat where her father had been sitting.

She is petite, and her seat appears wide and large.

The chair is a little old, and even though Zidi is very lightweight, she still squeaks.

Zidi wondered how her father sits, and she subconsciously imitated it, propping her elbows on the table, her hands clenched into fists, supporting her chin, or against her lips.

This is what she often sees in the middle of the night, when she finds that the light in her father's study is still on, pushes the door in and reminds him to sleep.

"Father's ......"

Zidi muttered, thinking about the meeting that took place during the day.

When many of the elders no longer despise Zidi, the next step is difficult negotiations.

Although Zidi has experienced many hardships in life over the years, and has been exposed to a lot since she was a child, she is still immature to really contact and participate in this kind of business negotiation.

Fortunately, there is a fat tongue that has been openly supporting her, opening her mouth many times, picking out the traps in various terms.

Most of the matters have not yet been negotiated.

A small number of preliminary cooperation agreements have been reached.

Some of them left publicly, indicating that they had left the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. Among them was the patriarch who was in charge of the banking business.

Zidi let these people go without the slightest embarrassment.

She sent a strong signal to the outside - if you want to go, I am not afraid that any of you will leave, even if all of you leave, there is nothing to fear!

She knew that the reason why these people did not accept the solicitation was that, on the one hand, they did not look down on the conditions of the various forces, and on the other hand, the major powerful forces did not look down on them.

This time, they came here to attend the funeral with only superficial intentions, and what they really wanted was to take out real profits from the president's department and subsidize themselves.

But unexpectedly, Zidi is no longer as simple and unworldly as they remember.

Zidi firmly held on to her own interests and never let up in the slightest. Originally, the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce had undergone drastic changes, and the loss of the president's family was the greatest. Only profitable cooperation for herself, Zidi is interested.

Zidi, who is now shrunk in the leather chair, has two biggest feelings.

The first is wealthy.

Even if the loss is more than eighty percent, the remaining two percent is still a considerable wealth.

The second is difficult.

The battle of wits and courage and the battle of words in the negotiation of the meeting made Zidi's head ache faintly until now.

At the same time, it was the first time to take charge of such a large amount of wealth, and Zidi was not confident.

"Can I do a good job? Can I keep these wealth? Can I hold up the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?"

"Zidi, you have to do it!"

"This is your father's brainchild, and likewise, your hope for revenge!!"

It has never been revealed to anyone else, but Zidi has made up her mind to take revenge.

During the day, at the funeral, Fat Tongue revealed to Zidi those words, in fact, Zidi already knew it.

These years of tempering have made her understand a truth very well - she can see a person more clearly in action than in words.

The hatred that used to be dissipated has turned into a complex feeling for my father.

Who can not make mistakes?

Especially in the face of the magnates of almost the entire empire.

Moreover, he never really persecuted his daughter.

Just on her first day in office, Zidi deepened her understanding and understanding of her father.

"Hahahaha!" At this moment, a wild laugh suddenly broke Zidi's memory.

Then the door to the study was slammed open.

A teenager strode up to Zidi. He was very short, like a dwarf.

The gray hair on the first head is eye-catching, because the hairstyle seems to have exploded, and it is extremely flamboyant.

He held a dagger in his hand, but he forcibly took out a giant sword for the young man.

"Who are you?" asked Zidi.

"Hahaha. The gray-haired boy with an explosive head haha, "Good question!"

His voice was suddenly lowered, obviously deliberately pinching out a hoarse and vicissitudes of tone, and he chanted: "I come from the shadows, I dance on the tip of the knife! The gods have given me salvation, and I would rather perish. Carry out love and true evil, I am me, and I must be the great genius of the world's number one assassin - Luoshi!"

"Girl, I'll take your life. Shoot, let me kill you!!!"

Zidi was shocked.

Although it was the first time she had experienced an assassination, she had never heard of such a grandiose assassination.

No matter how strange this assassin is, the murderous aura in his body cannot be faked.

"Guard!!" Zidi shouted with a raised voice.

The young man laughed and said proudly: "Hahaha, you call it, you call it throat cut, no one will save you." Because they've all been overturned by me. ”

Zidi snorted coldly, and with a slight shake of her arm, a small pinch of powder shook out of her spacious sleeve.

Magic - Lime Magic!

A few short syllables came out of her mouth, and the powder, which was used as a spell casting material, quickly exploded, turning into a finer powder mist that filled the entire study at once.

Then, she immediately jumped, quickly evacuated her desk, and rolled into the corner.

During this time, she had already used the spellcasting materials in her arms and began to chant briefly.

Magic - Whispering Sound!

When she stood up, the silencer spell was successful, making the sound of Zidi's movements and singing tiny.

Immediately afterward, she performed a third spell - Mirror Imagery.

A mirror image that looked very similar to hers rushed to the door.

"Wow, well done. Luoshi's voice suddenly came from behind Zidi.

As soon as Zidi was shocked, she was lightly touched by the dagger handle of Luoshi behind her, and the fighting spirit was instantly conducted, penetrating into Zidi's body, locking her in place, stiff as a stone, unable to move.

"The lime technique is almost instantaneous, and the micro-acoustic technique is also very keen, and the choice of mirror image technique is also good. ”

The interested comments of the snail stone behind him made Zidi's heart sink to the bottom.

Immediately after, Luoshi burst out with a fighting spirit, blowing away all the powder mist in the room at once.

"Silver level!" Seeing the color of the fighting spirit, the purple dike was like falling into an ice cave.

Fear is accompanied by anger and hatred.

"You killed my father?!" the girl asked.

Luo Shi shook his head: "I didn't do that. The sneaky assassination is too unassassinative. I'm a man who aspires to be the number one assassin in the world, how could I do such a tasteless thing. ”

Although it was only a one-sided relationship, Zidi naturally chose to believe Luoshi's words.

Luo Shi slammed the dagger across Zidi's neck.

Because of his short stature, in order to make this move, he had to step on the wall with his feet and attach the soles of his shoes with his fighting spirit, so that his posture was very stable.

"Intelligence says you're busy making ends meet and neglecting to practice magic. As a result, you were secretly promoted to the Black Iron level, and the fighting posture just now must have been practiced hard. ”

"Tsk, you're such a cunning girl. ”

"Remember, the person who killed you is my Luoshi, a genius destined to become the number one assassin in the world!"

"Wait, gnomes, I'll pay double as much as you need to hire you!" called Zidy.

The snail stone behind him was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "Wow, I'm going to blow up!"

"I am the best assassin in the world, and I must have the best professional ethics. ”

"Also, I'm a Terran, a pure Terran, not a dwarf!!"

"You give me death!"

With the fury of the snail stone, the dagger slashed at Zidi's neck.

Just when Zidi thought that she was certain to die, she suddenly heard a frightened scream from Luoshi, and then disappeared without a trace.

A trail of blood was left on the wall.

"What's going on?" Purple suddenly found herself able to act again.

"I saved you, the new president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. A goblin, about the same height as the previous snail stone, appeared in front of Zidi.

He has a goblin head, green skin, and a long nose with some hooks.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I had already brewed a spell, seized the opportunity for him to do it, and originally wanted to kill him on the spot. I didn't expect this kid to be able to dodge and escape. He is not very old, and his cultivation is already approaching the gold level, and he is about to undergo a qualitative change. This qualification is very rare. The goblin looked at the blood stains on the wall and slowly commented.

"Golden Mage!" Zidi shook, the life breath of the goblin was actually as high as the gold level, no wonder it could startle the snail stone.

"Who are you?" asked Zidi after saluting.

"You can call me Master Diamond, a warmonger. The goblin pointed smirked proudly.

Hawkers!

Zidi's heart was shocked.

"Your father and my mentor, Lord Warmonger, have always had business contacts. A few months ago, your father sent a message for help to Mystery Island. Unfortunately, at the time, I was working with my mentor on an important magic experiment, and the letterhead was shelved by Talein. When I found out about the distress letter, my mentor ordered me to come to the rescue. Goblin Drill explains.

"Thank you for saving your life!" Zidi saluted again, her face full of gratitude and happiness. However, in her heart, there is a cold current.

In the scene just now, it was obvious that the sharp drill was using her as bait to lure the snail stone to leak out of the flaws. Obviously, in the heart of the sharp drill, killing the snail stone is the first, and saving Zidi is the second.

Combined with the explanation he just had, Zidi's father's letter for help was not really taken to heart by the warmongers and him. Otherwise, how could it be delayed because of the experiment?

But Zidi's father must have a close business relationship with the war tortuos.

Zidi's father was able to send a letter of help to the war mongers, in addition to being anxious, he also had some certainty that the request for help would be successful.

Now, the Warriors have sent his student Sharpener to help, which also shows that Purple's father has a certain value for the Hawkers.

"When you think about it, it's not surprising. ”

"The warmonger is the seventh on the wanted list, recognized as the great master of alchemy, and is a veteran arms dealer. If he wants to sell arms abroad, the best choice is the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. Because there are only six major chambers of commerce that are larger than the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, but they are all fully controlled by the imperial magnates. ”

"My father must have helped the war traffickers sell a lot of arms, so he was rescued. ”

"Unfortunately, it's too late!"

"Oops. ”

"He just saved me and just did it in passing, the point was to try to kill the snail stone. This shows that he understands the current situation of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and my use value in his mind is very low. ”

After a few breaths, Zidi's mind was racing, and she could already see the situation clearly.

Her eyes flashed, and she immediately spoke: "Lord Sharp Diamond, although my father has passed away, I have taken his place. From now on, I am willing to serve you and the war mongers with all my might!"

"Oh?" Sharp Drill was stunned for a moment, looking at Zidi with a smile, "Your expression has just changed, and it should be the first time you have learned about this secret of your father's business." In order to protect ourselves, we want to use our strength...... Hehe, you little girl, interesting. ”

"Everything can't escape the eyes of adults. "I was scared, I didn't expect to be assassinated just after I took over." I'm willing to take even greater risks to save my life. And I also believe that looking at all the current chambers of commerce in this continent, I am still the only one here, and I am the most worthy of your investment. ”

"That's right. Drill nodded, "We've been working with your father for a long time, and we're really at ease with you. Although the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce exists in name only, it is this name that is famous all over the world, so it still has extremely high value. ”

"But with your current strength, if you want to cooperate with us and want to be protected by us, you are not qualified. ”

"So, how do you qualify?" asked Zidi with a smile.

Next, the sharp words made her face pale instantly: "Then let's go to the marriage." ”
