You want to force me to be the devil, right?

Chapter 166: Little devil! We are being targeted by the Pope of Light!
"That's easy for you to say." Ticia replied immediately, "Earl Rost is only an earl, but he has a duke behind him."

"If we fall out with him, we'll get into a lot of trouble."

"It's true there are some minor troubles, but so what?" Madam White Rose said with a smile, "Shane is the partner you chose, and he's in trouble. As the successor to the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, shouldn't you help him solve his problem?"

"?"

Tisia raised her eyebrows slightly, speechless.

Didn’t you put up the partner’s logo?
But now that the result is decided, Xia En has indeed become her partner. As the successor of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, she seems to really have to solve Xia En's problems!

Of course, whether the White Rose Chamber of Commerce should be held responsible for the trouble caused by its partners depends on the circumstances.

If you cannot afford it, the natural thing to do is to disqualify the other party as a partner and then pay compensation.

"Why? Isn't it?"

In response to Tisia's puzzled look, Lady White Rose asked calmly.

Those eyes seemed to not allow Tisia to refuse.

Ticia didn't answer. She turned to Shane and said, "If Earl Rost threatens you, just mention the White Rose Chamber of Commerce. I don't believe he would dare to do anything to you."

"So cool?"

Shane raised his eyebrows slightly.

Having a powerful force behind you is indeed better than being a lone cultivator!

"The White Rose Chamber of Commerce is based on integrity. Since you're already a member of our chamber, we will naturally be responsible for you." Madam White Rose folded her hands over her chest and whispered, "This is part of the treaty. Of course, the premise is that you can create value for the White Rose Chamber of Commerce. I have always taught Ticia this."

"嘁~"

Tisia clicked her tongue and ordered Nila, "Nila, push me to the bathroom."

"Okay, miss."

Nila then pushed Tisia away.

At this moment, Madam White Rose approached Shane and whispered, "Don't worry, the White Rose Chamber of Commerce can protect you."

"I'm relieved, but I have something else to ask you."

Shane said, taking out a magic crystal, "Is there a suitable arsenal? I want to forge a magic device myself."

"let me see……"

Mrs. White Rose pondered and thought, she certainly understood Shane's request.

First of all, this arsenal must be owned by their White Rose Chamber of Commerce, and the people inside must be trustworthy.

After all, the magical tools that the Demon King wants to produce are definitely prepared for war.

So the secret must never be exposed.

This leaves very little room for choice.

"I'll find a way. Give me some time." said Lady White Rose.

"Oh, by the way, I have also mentioned this matter to Tisia," Shane added.

"I understand. I'll make reasonable arrangements."

After Shane finished his instructions, he stood up and left, "I have to go out for something."

"Ah."

After Shane left, Lady White Rose took out the blood rose that Shane had given her.

She plucked off a petal and saved the rest.

Then, she held it on the tip of her tongue, savoring the taste of blood carefully.
At this moment, Tisia happened to come back from the bathroom and saw the rose petals between Lady White Rose's lips and teeth.

"really!"

Tisia frowned slightly and whispered to Madam White Rose, "Huh~ The famous Madam White Rose actually stole her daughter's things. How amazing."

When Lady White Rose heard her daughter's teasing, she looked at Tisia calmly.

She naturally guessed that Tisia thought it was her who touched the blood rose.

But she did not explain. Instead, she smiled and said to Tisia, "Your things? No, my daughter, yours also belong to mother."

"Are you kidding me?"

Tisia gritted her teeth. Her things belonged only to her and not to anyone else!

"No~" Lady White Rose smiled and walked up to Tisia.

She folded her arms around her elbows, leaned forward slightly, and said to Ticia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, "Everything you have belongs to me. Because everything you have is given to you by me. Do you understand? My daughter."

"The clothes you wear, your food, your shelter, your coffers, even your body, your life!"

“They all come from me~”

"You are being unreasonable!" Tisia said angrily.

"I can reason with you, but only if you have the ability to stand on your own! But you~" Madam White Rose shook her head helplessly and continued, "You're almost twenty years old, and you can't even withstand the magic of the White Dragon, let alone shoulder the responsibility of the entire White Rose Chamber of Commerce."

"My daughter, you are far from qualified~"

"Understand?"

"You!" Tisia bit her teeth lightly, and her cheeks turned a faint red with anger.

But everything her mother said was true and she had no power to refute it.

She was able to stand up thanks to Shane's succubus collar, and it was about the White Rose Chamber of Commerce.

Even compared with people of the same age, her network of contacts is outstanding.

But compared to her mother...

"My daughter~"

Madam White Rose extended her delicate hand and stroked Tisia's cheek. She spoke gently, yet with a hint of sternness, "You still have a lot to learn. Now~ leave it all to Mom, okay?"

"Humph!"

Tisia snorted and turned her head away in dissatisfaction.

……

Shane came to the Holy Lady's Monastery as usual. Along the way, there were indeed many law enforcement knights patrolling.

But no knight wearing the Rost family crest was seen.

This is easy to understand. After all, this is the royal city, and an earl is not qualified to act so recklessly here.

"Mr. Shane~Good afternoon~"

When Yulisa saw Shane coming, she immediately put down what she was doing and greeted him.

"I need to relax."

Shane spoke up.

"Please follow me~"

Yulisa then took Shane to the prayer room.

Shane felt Yulisa's fingertips gently rubbing his cheek while he closed his eyes and meditated, enjoying a moment of peace.

Yulisa would also shake the silver bells or blow gently in his ears.
The comfortable feeling made him shiver involuntarily, and a smile of enjoyment appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, Mr. Shane~"

Yulisa said at this time, "I heard that the Holy See of Light also sent soldiers and believers to the Dark Forest."

"Moreover, it was the Pope who led the army personally."

"Will the Pope be here in person?"

Upon hearing this, Xia En showed a hint of curiosity.

As the new Pope, she single-handedly turned the tide and saved the Church of Light from the brink of destruction.

She must be very powerful!

"Hmm~"

"However, it seems that she didn't decide to come in person to wipe out the demons in the Dark Night Forest. It seems that she decided to do so for another reason," Yulisa added.

"another thing?"

Shane raised his eyebrows slightly, and at this moment, the voice of the former Demon King came into his mind:

"That nasty aura of light! Someone is targeting us through that female knight!"
