Mage Veigar

Chapter 238: National War Begins

That night.

Vega rolled up his bedding and slept on the floor, giving the newly made bed to Silis.

Although there was the sound of water in the bathroom, Vega was already immersed in his own world. He was thinking about how to make the Chamber of Commerce under the Rodney family bigger and stronger. It would be best if he could open branches all over the empire and use them as his intelligence machine.

In Vega's opinion, no matter in which field, sufficient intelligence is the most important.

And now, fortunately, the arrogant officers and politicians of the empire are not interested in the chamber of commerce at all. They are more keen to work in the business groups under the empire, because the benefits there are better than those of a small chamber of commerce.

in short.

The official business groups of the Empire monopolized almost all money-making industries. The difference between ordinary business families and the Empire's business groups was like the difference between an ant and an elephant. Therefore, Vega, who could not interfere with the government system, could only target the business families.

This is an important chess piece buried in the imperial capital.

With this chess piece, he can at least grasp every move in the imperial capital. This is especially important for Vega who aspires to reach the top of the pyramid, because the intelligence will be known before the armies move.

As for the issue of controlling the Rodney Family?

When all the direct descendants died, then Celis would naturally become the heir to the family, because she had the blood of the Rodney family flowing in her body, and no one else had this condition.

So now there is one last question left.

Vega looked towards the bathroom, and Celis just came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

As the crystal clear water drops fell on the rosy shoulders, Vega suddenly understood the meaning of the idiom "a beauty to behold".

However, he did not stay in a daze for too long, but walked straight towards Qilisi. This action scared Qilisi, and her plump chest even trembled, but she quickly calmed down.

"He's just a kid, what am I thinking."

After muttering to herself, Silis looked at Vega and said, “Dear Mr. Vega, is there anything wrong with me?”

"I have something I want to ask you."

Vega paused, then said very seriously: "This matter is very important. I need you to think carefully about your inner thoughts and answer me sincerely."

goo-dong-

Qi Lisi blushed, and she began to suspect that Vega was trying to confess his love to her. So what should she choose?

Whether to agree or refuse, but are you really willing to refuse?
And after all, I was his fiancée, so it seemed I had no choice but to agree.

I found an excuse for myself.

Celis' heart was in her throat, waiting for Vega's "confession". She was ready to speak her mind.

Unfortunately, Vega didn’t notice this. What Vega wanted to say was not a confession. The content of his words had already made Silis stunned on the spot.

"Can I kill all the blood relatives of the Rodney family, including your father, Layton Rodney?"

Bloody and cruel words came out of the mouth of a half-grown child. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably just treat it as a joke of a naughty child and beat him up. However, Qi Lisi would never treat it as a child's joke.

How to answer?

To be honest, Silis had never thought about this issue.

She really wanted to betray her father and seize the family's honor, especially the expression of disbelief and anger on her father's face would surely make her feel happy, but Silis had never thought of killing her father with her own hands.

That was her only relative. Once the only blood relative in the world died, even if the family was overthrown, what pleasure and sense of accomplishment would she have? Everything she did now would be meaningless, and she hated living alone in this world.

Vega suddenly understood when he saw Silis's expression.

After all, she was just a rebellious 17-year-old girl. It was easy for her to overthrow her family and even give up everything in her family, but letting her witness her father's death with her own eyes was beyond her psychological endurance.

Even though her father had ruthlessly abandoned her, he was still her father after all.

Vega sighed and was about to drop the topic for the time being, but Celis spoke up.

She said with determination in her eyes: "If you must do this, then I will not stop you, and I will cooperate with you to control the Rodney family afterwards, but I need a promise from you."

"What promise?"

“A lifetime commitment.”

Qi Lisi gritted her teeth and said, "If one day I lose the value of being used by you, you must promise not to abandon me without permission, because ah——"

Qi Lisi's voice even tinged with tears: "I don't want to be abandoned again!"

Although her whole body was shaking with pain, Silis stubbornly held back her tears as she waited for Vega's answer.

There was silence for about a minute.

Vega finally smiled and said, "I promise you this, and we are just in a cooperative relationship. You get freedom, and I get the Rodney family. Isn't this what we agreed on from the beginning?"

Celis seemed to have lost her strength.

Finally she smiled and said, "I know you're just being perfunctory, but this is enough."

With the last problem solved and after getting the approval of Celis, Vega was ready to use thunderous means to take the Rodney family as his own chess piece. Although he himself did not know whether this chess piece would be of much use in the future, his intuition told him that it would be right to try to master some power of his own.

Veigar planned to put this operation after the national war, because the national war would start in a week.

So Vega and Celis spent a week in "peace".

This week of living together finally stimulated the secondary development of one of Vega's organs, but unfortunately due to Silis's symptoms he was ultimately unable to do it, so this week could probably be described as "peaceful".

the next day.

After Vega finished the breakfast carefully prepared by Silis, he went to the war building to prepare for today's national war.

On the way to the War Building, I undoubtedly met Neville again.

Unfortunately, Vega still couldn't remember who this guy was, and why he always had to repeat the same words every time he participated in the General Project. Was he just a repeater?

Fortunately, no other accidents happened along the way.

An hour later, Vega finally successfully entered the war zone.

There is no doubt that this war is, as the name suggests, a war between countries.

There is no time limit for this national war. All participating officers need to attack each other in the war area. In the end, only one participating officer can advance to the final stage of the generals' battle.

At this time, Vega was already prepared to be attacked by everyone.
