"Father, what are you talking about?"

Mora couldn't believe it, but the bearing he had cultivated in the past six months made him not show the surprise in his heart.

Seeing that Mora was still able to control her emotions well, Wim nodded with some satisfaction, and continued to say in a flat tone:

"I'm going to let you inherit everything from me, including the shares and the position of the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, as well as the title of the Carl family."

Mora was silent for a moment, and to be honest, he was quite surprised.

After all, since he was a child, his father has never revealed a trace of this idea, and has always raised his eldest brother Jon Carr as the heir of the family, and has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards him.

Now why did his mind suddenly take a 180-degree turn?

"I don't understand, father, why did you do that?"

Mora said truthfully, expressing the doubts in his mind.

It is impossible to say that it is not impressed, after all, the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is also one of the top five major chambers of commerce in the Fezz Kingdom, although it is not far from the Fez Chamber of Commerce and the Bright Light United Chamber of Commerce, but it is already a behemoth for the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, which has only been established for half a year.

Whether it is the distribution of industries and chambers of commerce in various cities and regions of the Fez Kingdom, or the wealth accumulated and mature and reliable manpower, they are all incomparable to the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce.

Because of this, after Li Si left Bright City, he easily poached the head of the Fez caravan.

However, with the substantial improvement of Li Si's status and power, especially after becoming the largest duke in the territory of the Fez, the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly usher in a new wave of rapid development.

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Si has been fishing all year round, Mora, who is the second-in-command of the Chamber of Commerce, has actually replaced Li Si and has held most of the power of the Chamber of Commerce.

Mora did think about fighting to inherit the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, but after investing all his enthusiasm in the White Dove Chamber of Commerce for the past six months, especially after hearing the news from his father that he would inherit the Golden Cannia Chamber of Commerce, he was not as excited as he had imagined.

Mora quickly calmed down and quietly looked at her father, Wim.

Wim sighed softly, got up from behind the table, sat down on the couch across from Mora, and put his hands in fists on his chest.

"Mora, my son."

"You should also be aware that I have indeed been preparing for your eldest brother Jon to inherit the Karl family."

"But it turns out that Jon may be able to be a steward of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, but he is still far from being the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce and balancing the forces of all aspects within the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce."

"On top of that, Jon is too shallow to keep an eye on the gold coins in front of him and ignore the dangers ahead."

Wim shook his head, a look of regret on his face, and continued:

"The most important thing is that he is too confident, he always thinks that he can do well, and he never listens to other people's advice."

"Although it seems that he has done a good job over the years and has made a lot of profits for the Chamber of Commerce, in the final analysis, he still relies on the Chamber of Commerce and the power of his family to shelter him."

"If it's an ordinary person, forget it, but he's the heir of the Carl family!"

"In the future, it's not the family that shelters him, it's that he wants to lead the Carl family to move forward, and he's still a lot behind."

Looking at Wim's serious expression, Mora involuntarily sat up, looking much more serious.

Although Mora complained a little, blaming his father for not giving him a chance to compete with Jon, he still regarded his father who had controlled the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce for more than twenty years as his goal.

She had hoped for her father's approval, but Mora didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"Then why did you choose me to be the heir of the family?"

Mora asked in a low voice, and to be honest, it all came a little suddenly, and he was a little caught off guard.

Wim didn't care about his youngest son's question, nodded and said:

"If it were you before, I wouldn't consider handing over the Karl family to you."

"At the end of the day, Jon can't do it, but he works hard enough."

"The worst-case scenario is to make Jon give up his position as the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, as long as the family holds the shares of the Chamber of Commerce tightly, there is no problem in maintaining it."

"Although you are very smart, you were too loose before, and I can't see that you have the ability to control the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce at that time."

Mora's face changed for the first time when she heard this, and she smiled wryly.

He did give up on himself before, especially after choosing to enter the Fez Royal School of Magic, although he met two good friends, Lees and Bernie, but unlike the hard-working two, he has been lingering among the girls' skirts.

If he hadn't been pulled by his good brother Li Si later, maybe he would still be in a drunken life now!

Wim didn't care about Mora's embarrassment, and continued:

"But I didn't expect that Marquis of Kane to hand over the White Dove Chamber of Commerce to you to take care of, let alone that you performed very well!"

Mora raised his head to look at the serious middle-aged man in front of him, it was the first time he had heard such high praise from his father.

"In the past six months, I have been observing what you have done in the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, although some places are still a little green, but you have a good control over the development of the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce."

"Despite the influence of that Marquis of Kane, you did a good job."

"So, father, do you think I'm more suitable than my eldest brother to inherit the Golden Cantene Chamber of Commerce?"

Mora grinned unconsciously, and said with some embarrassment.

"That's true, although I already had this in mind, I was going to think about it for a while."

Wim leaned back on the couch and said with a faint smile.

The fact that his younger son, who had given up on himself, could become so good did make him feel good.

"I was thinking of finding a time to talk to you and leave some things to you to do, but I heard that the Marquis of Kane is back."

"That Marquis of Kane is indeed very powerful, he is about to be awarded the title of Duke at a young age, and he is worthy of being a disciple of Lord [Flame of Judgment]."

"The future Duke of Kane will definitely have his own territory, and the White Dove Chamber of Commerce will most likely follow that one to shift its focus to the territory, and you will definitely leave Bright City at that time."

Mora was still listening to her father's words happily, but she was suddenly stunned.

Half a year of communication with Mora in the upper circles of Bright City was not a waste of time, and he soon realized the hidden meaning of Wim's words.

"Father, do you mean to let me leave the White Dove Chamber of Commerce and inherit the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right."

Wim also nodded slightly dryly, if it weren't for this idea, he would not have had such a direct showdown with this young son, but chose to continue to test Mora slowly.

But all this is broken by the sudden rise of Lees, which also gives Wim other ideas.

"This"

Mora didn't expect that he would suddenly face this situation, to be honest, he naturally wanted to inherit the family's inheritance and become the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce.

This is also what he once said when he was joking with Lees.

And Mora also knew that if he really chose to leave the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, Li Si and Bernie would definitely choose to support his decision.

But.

Without long hesitation, Mora said earnestly to his father, who was sitting across from him:

"I'm sorry, father, for disappointing you."

"I don't want to leave the White Dove Chamber of Commerce!"

Mora knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for his good brother Lees's help in forming the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't be able to cheer up.

What's more, a few days ago, Li Si made a special trip to him, wanting to hand over the renovation and reconstruction of his dukedom to the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce and him to be responsible.

This heavy trust made Mora have no other thoughts at all.

The White Dove Chamber of Commerce is also a place where Mora has poured all his efforts, even if the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of the top five in the Fez, is tempted, Mora does not take it too seriously.

Perhaps for him, the idea of inheriting the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was more to gain his father's affirmation.

And after the father and son had a frank conversation, Mora suddenly found that there was not much temptation for him to inherit the Carl family and the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce.

Wim was a little surprised to see his youngest son reject his idea, but he quickly calmed down.

"I'm not surprised that you made such a choice, and it does have a good future with that Lees Kane."

In Wim's opinion, Mora assisted Li Si in managing the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, although it was certainly not as good as the position of the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce in the short term, but it was not necessarily in the long run.

If Li Si really breaks through in the future to become the new legendary powerhouse of the Fez Kingdom, it will be a heaven and an earth.

Mora frowned when she heard this, what her father said seemed that he chose to follow Li Si for a better future, but he couldn't bear to break the harmonious atmosphere between father and son at this moment, so he couldn't help but refute.

I'm because my brother trusts me!

Wim looked at Mora's somewhat unconvinced expression, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Nodding, Wim went on to say to the youngest son:

"Since you've made your choice, I won't say much."

"When the time comes, go to his territory with Li Si, don't forget that you still have the Karl family and the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce in Bright Light City."

"Of course, me."

Mora waved her hand absently, and was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking.

Then he asked, somewhat unconvinced:

"Father, do you mean the Carl family and the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce or will it be inherited by me?"

Originally, in Mora's mind, since he chose to follow Lis and rejected his father's proposal, it was equivalent to choosing to separate from the Carl family and set up a new branch.

And the Carl family and the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce are naturally inherited by the eldest brother Jon, and they have nothing to do with him.

But he didn't expect to listen to his father's meaning, even if he and Li Si left Bright City, the Carl family and the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce would still be inherited by him.

This made Mora a little unexpected.

"The foundation of the family is naturally for the best children to inherit, and everything is for the future of the family."

Wim's simple sentence explains why he made such a decision.

As the Karl family, which owns part of the shares of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce and other industries, is a big force even in the royal capital of Bright City, but it is nothing in front of the rising kingdom star, Marquis Liss Kane.

At the age of twenty, Lees has already risen to gold and has fully proven his potential.

What's more, his teacher is still the peak legend [Flame of Judgment], and the relationship between him and King Morton of the Fez Kingdom also seems to be quite close.

In fact, many nobles in Bright City want to invest in Li Si, but there has been no good opportunity.

Mora's spread of the news of Li Si's new territory to the outside world was also based on the idea of Li Si himself to release his goodwill and willingness to cooperate with the outside world.

His Carl family, with Mora, a good brother of Lis, and is in charge of the most important chamber of commerce for him, how could he let Mora give up this rare opportunity.

Increase the intensity of investment!

Mora reacted, and said to Wim with some resentment:

"Father, did you decide a long time ago to let me inherit the family and follow Li Si, instead of letting me come back?"

At this time, Wim no longer controlled his expression and laughed:

"Haha, it's not slow for you to react now!"

"Really."

Mora was a little helpless, he didn't expect his father, who had always been serious, to make such a joke with him.

However, Mora was still happier when her father made such a decision.

Fulfilling his childhood wish without giving up his hard work is the best result for him.

Thinking of this, Mora rubbed her hands together and smiled flatteringly:

"Father, since you have decided to let me inherit the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, can I?"

Wim glanced at Mora, who had been paying attention to his youngest son, and naturally knew what Mora had been busy with lately.

Since he has chosen to invest in Li Si, he can't feel sorry for the chips he paid in advance.

"I'm not old yet, don't think about the position of the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce now."

"But I can give you my seal for the time being, and do whatever you want!"

"Thank you for your support, Father!"

Mora didn't care about the position of the president of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and he wasn't happy to let him be him now!

It's just that with the full help of the Golden Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, the preparation of the new territory will be much easier.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside the study.

"Come in!"

Wim's voice returned to its previous calm.

Between the old butler gently pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, Master Mora!"

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Les Kane is downstairs now, and I want to see Master Mora."

The old butler said succinctly.

"Father!"

"Go ahead!"

Mora stood up and walked with the old butler to the reception room on the first floor of the mansion.

Wim didn't move, and sat down on the couch and smiled easily.

To have such a close relationship with the future Duke of Kane, many people in Bright City must be envious of the Carl family, right?

I hope that Lees Kane can continue to rise as before, and the Karl family can also take advantage of the situation to make new breakthroughs.

Li Si was sitting in the reception room of the Carl family mansion, enjoying the exquisite snacks and the meticulous care of the maids.

After learning that Mora had returned home, he came here alone.

This actually didn't fit his status as a great nobleman, but Li Si didn't care too much.

After all, the so-called etiquette and decency of many nobles are to gain the respect of others and maintain their noble status, but this does not mean anything to Li Si.

The title is the most important thing for many noble lords, and for Li Si, the duke is just the icing on the cake.

Li Si, who initially has the strength to control the future, already has some confidence and capital to ignore these rules.

"Why did you come to my house to find me, it's really rare!"

Mora pushed open the door and walked in, settling down on the couch across from Lees.

Seemingly thirsty, Mora didn't move the coffee in front of her, but picked up the juice that was set aside and took a big sip.

Lees looked at Mora with an excited face in front of him with great interest, and he didn't even rush to ask about Count Petri.

"You kid, what happened to you?"

In the face of Lis's inquiry, Mora waved her hand absently:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that my father finally recognized my ability and made me the heir of the family!"

"Hey, it's a good thing!"

Li Si's heart moved, and he guessed the thoughts of the president of the Golden Cansteria Chamber of Commerce.

But Li Si didn't care, anyway, the benefits were all his brother's.

"Hmph, he's finally discovered my talent!"

Mora didn't hide her excitement in front of her good brother, and said smugly.

"Come on, converge and converge, look at the way you get carried away."

Li Si said with a smile, in a mocking tone.

Mora smirked in front of Li Si for a moment, and said as she ate a piece of cake covered with jam:

"Why are you here for me today?"

"Do you know this man, Count Petri?"

Li Si was not polite, and said directly to Mora.

"Count Petry"

Mora thought for a moment, took out a pile of well-maintained parchment paper from the storage ring while biting the cake, picked one out of the middle and handed it to Lis.

Li Si took the parchment and looked at it, and there was a bunch of information about Count Petri written densely on it, including a series of information about Count Petri's address in Bright City, subordinate properties, and so on.

There's even a small portrait of a middle-aged man with a high value on the back.

Mora muttered as she ate the jam cake:

"I've met this Count Petrie a few times, and I'm not very impressed."

"I met him once at the banquet a few days ago, and he said that he admired you very much and wanted to meet you!"

"Oh?"

Li Si looked at the information in his hand and smiled slightly.

Noticing Li Si's somewhat peculiar expression, Mora was stunned for a moment, and asked with some curiosity:

"Why did you suddenly ask about this person?"

"Oh, I suspect that this person has something to do with the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts, and it is very likely that he is a believer in the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Li Si said flatly, as if this was not a big deal.

"Huh?!"

Mora beat a spirit, but he knew from Li Si about the mastermind behind the [Blood Sacrifice Riot] that happened in Xiacheng last year, and he was a little scared at the thought that he might have been in close contact with an evil god believer.

After all, it had been a long time since something like this had happened in the Bright Light City, where the Dawn Church was located.

The madness and horror of cultists of evil gods are heard by many people from childhood.

"Shall I investigate?"

Mora asked, but Liss waved his hand.

"There's no need, I'll ask him myself!"

After determining Count Petri's residence and basic information, Li Si directly used spatial teleportation to rush over.

Looking at Li Si, who suddenly disappeared in front of him, Mora smacked her tongue and once again felt the strength of Li Si's strength.

Now for Li Si, the cult god believers are nothing.

Feeling the widening gap between the two, Mora was also determined.

I have to keep trying, I can't be too far behind!

——

Earl Petri's Mansion,

The aristocratic mansion was not in the aristocratic quarter of Rue de Fes, but on a quiet street further west.

This is a decent villa with a courtyard, the gray-white marble walls form the main body of the mansion, and the walls also bear a few gray traces left by the rain, which looks a little more like the vicissitudes of time.

Li Si disappeared and slowly walked into the mansion.

In the garden and in the hall, the servants did not notice in the slightest that Lees, who passed by them, was still busy with the work in hand.

Count Petri had no family or heirs, which was quite rare among the nobles of Bright City.

Lees had already locked on his target, and the person who was in the bedroom on the second floor and hid his strength should be the Earl Petri.

It is clear that there is something wrong with this Count Petri.

From Mora's information, there was no mention that the Earl was a transcendent professional and that his strength had reached the silver level.

Moreover, this earl's method of concealing his aura is very clever, if Li Si hadn't known that this person had a problem in advance and used his spiritual power to carefully probe the aura on his body, he would not have easily detected something wrong.

Silver?

Li Si looked up directly above and frowned.

The use of [Human Enchantment] may not be able to control this Count Petri.

After waiting for a while, Li Si, who was ready, did not delay, and a short flicker appeared in the bedroom on the second floor.

The bedroom in front of you is not particularly furnished, with simple and plain light yellow sheets against the dark walls and floor.

A middle-aged man who looked like the one in the portrait he got from Li Si stood in front of the window, as if he was looking at the gardener's pedicure in the courtyard below.

Leth appeared behind him, perhaps because he was too close, or because of the influence of a different aura on Lees's body, Count Petrie seemed to notice something and turned to look.

"You"

Before Count Petrie could speak, the special light emanating from Lees's hand attracted all his attention, and the whole person froze in place.

Seven Rings Confusion Control Spell [Forced Mind Domination]!

This is a very special spell with a strong ability to control the mind, but the disadvantages are the extremely high casting requirements and the permanent mental damage caused to the person under control.

However, for Li Si, a believer of the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts didn't have to care so much.

After controlling the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Si asked in a deep voice:

"Your name?"

"Cobb Petri."

"What is your true identity?"

"I am."

Before Count Petri could answer, his body suddenly burst into black-red flames from the inside out, and the terrifying temperature swept through every part of his body, and the extreme pain of the flames also freed Pete from Lees's mind control.

"Huh."

Looking at Lees standing in front of him, Count Petri seemed to understand something, his eyes were full of resentment, and he tried to say something in his throat, but soon the entire vocal cords were burned by the flames, and soon the whole person lost his breath.

"Sure enough!"

Li Si was not surprised by the tragedy in front of him and shook his head.

"However, it is not without gains."

A faint dark black air flow appeared in Li Si's hand that shimmered with white aura, constantly trembling and writhing.
