Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 212 The Still Charming Lady Loo

After leaving the Qinling Mountains, Zhou Haoyu parted ways with Mo Fan and the others.

As the little loach absorbed the totem power of the divine deer, Mo Fan was already eager to break through.

Zhang Xiaohou still needs to go back to the military region, not to mention Zhao Manyan.

As soon as Zhou Haoyu returned to the capital, he received a message from his father.

“The Victorian aristocracy is here again. You’d better go home right away.”

After reading the message on his phone, Zhou Haoyu immediately took Jiang Shaoxu and Lingling to the Zhou family home.

After settling the two into their room, Zhou Haoyu immediately went to the council hall.

Upon arriving at the council chamber, Zhou Haoyu saw Old Weller, Eileen, and others, along with a noblewoman dressed in palace attire.

"Forbidden spell!"

Zhou Haoyu determined the woman's cultivation level with just one glance.

The Victorian aristocracy, the forbidden curse on women—Zhou Haoyu could only think of one person: Mrs. Loo.

Her identity is Eileen's stepmother!

The moment Zhou Haoyu appeared, Madam Luo's gaze fell upon him.

If Zhou Haoyu remembered correctly, the shares of the Victoria family were held by Eileen, Mrs. Loo, and old Weller.

To acquire 30 percent of the Victoria family's shares, the consent of all three individuals is required.

Needless to say, old Weller and Eileen needed to get Mrs. Loo's approval.

“Mr. Zhou Hong, I would like to speak with Mr. Zhou privately.”

Mrs. Loo didn't even glance at Zhou Hong; in her eyes, Zhou Hong's rank was completely insufficient.

Not to mention Zhou Hong, she wouldn't even take some forbidden spells seriously.

"This"

Zhou Hong frowned slightly. What was this woman up to?
"Since Mrs. Loo wants to speak with me privately, then she should at least show some sincerity, shouldn't she?"

Zhou Haoyu's gaze fell on Madam Luo Ou. He had to admit that this woman was indeed still charming, but her methods were a bit too ruthless.

“If the negotiations go smoothly, I’m willing to give you 20 percent of the shares.”

Mrs. Loo offered a truly astonishing condition, one that almost no one could refuse.

The Victorian family is one of the world's most prestigious families. A 20% stake is enough to ensure that a novice mage can cultivate forbidden spells without worrying about resources.

Of course, this novice mage's talent cannot be too bad.

“Since Mrs. Loo has said so, I really have no reason to refuse.”

Zhou Haoyu smiled faintly. Even if Lady Luo's curse was forbidden, he was not afraid at all.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Hong, who was in the main seat, frowned immediately. He was unwilling for Zhou Haoyu to come into contact with such a powerful person.

But since Zhou Haoyu had already agreed, he couldn't say anything more.

After leaving the council hall, Zhou Haoyu and Mrs. Luo went to the garden behind the Zhou family's residence.

Only now did Zhou Haoyu get a closer look at Madam Luo.

With delicate and three-dimensional features, stunning beauty, and an elegant and noble temperament, she doesn't look her age at all.

Facing Zhou Haoyu's gaze, Mrs. Luo did not show any anger, or perhaps she was hiding it well.

"Mrs. Loo, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Haoyu glanced at it only a few times before speaking.

"Resurrection Divine Spell!"

Mrs. Loo calmly uttered four words.

Zhou Haoyu's pupils contracted. Could this woman know something?
"The resurrection magic of the Parthenon? Lady Loo has someone she wants to resurrect?"

Zhou Haoyu remembered that Lady Loo seemed to want to resurrect her husband, who was also Eileen's father.

However, Mrs. Loo was Eileen's father's second wife, and she was surprisingly affectionate.

This truly surprised him. "Young Master Zhou, stop pretending. I know you resurrected the former patriarch of the Zhao clan and used that to support Zhao Youqian's ascension to the throne."

A hint of fervor flashed in Madam Loo's eyes as she spoke calmly.

Zhou Haoyu frowned slightly. How did this woman know that he had resurrected Zhao Yuzheng?

Could it be those bodyguards from back then?

At that time, Zhou Haoyu could only use the power of the dark origin to turn Zhao Yuzheng into a special undead.

But now, Zhou Haoyu can completely revive a person, but it requires consuming the power of the source of light.

Moreover, there was still one chance left to use the resurrection spell.

"Mrs. Loo, just say what you want to talk about."

Zhou Haoyu did not directly admit it, but said ambiguously.

“If you help me resurrect someone, I will give you 20% of my shares. No, I can give you all of my shares.”

A resolute glint flashed in Mrs. Loo's eyes; to her, these shares were ultimately just external possessions.

Zhou Haoyu frowned. He had to admit that the terms were quite good; Mrs. Luo's shares alone exceeded 30%.

However, if Eileen's father were to be resurrected, the Victorian aristocracy might be turned upside down.

"I can help you, but I have two conditions."

After careful consideration, Zhou Haoyu spoke.

Upon hearing this, a hint of hostility flashed in Madam Luo's eyes. She had already offered such generous terms, yet this guy was still not satisfied.

Although she was dissatisfied, Mrs. Loo could only suppress it in her heart.

"You speak first."

"First, the person I resurrected cannot appear in the public eye and cannot be known by too many people."

Zhou Haoyu knew the allure of resurrection magic to the world. The Parthenon Temple was able to defy any power in the past largely because of resurrection magic.

If word gets out, even more people will definitely come to Zhou Haoyu for help.

The resurrection spell is only a one-time event. If Zhou Haoyu wants to resurrect people again, he will need to consume the power of the source of the Law of Light.

Zhou Haoyu currently only has a fragment of the Law of Light, which he simply cannot afford to waste.

"can."

Mrs. Loo frowned slightly as she pondered the matter; the request wasn't unreasonable.

Moreover, whether they are exposed to the public eye after their eventual resurrection is not up to them to decide.

Zhou Haoyu could guess Mrs. Luo's little scheme, but he didn't care much.

Before his resurrection, he would naturally make all the necessary preparations.

"My other request is that I want you now."

As he spoke, Zhou Haoyu looked Mrs. Luo up and down, and had to admit that she still retained her charm.

Mrs. Luo noticed Zhou Haoyu's gaze and immediately assumed he was thinking something bad, her eyes showing a look of embarrassment and annoyance.

They've even made plans to take action.

If it's that kind of request, she'll definitely teach that lecherous brat a lesson.

"I want you to transfer your shares to me right now."

Zhou Haoyu looked away and said in a serious tone.

Mrs. Loo was originally planning to make a move, but when she heard that it involved shares, the shame and annoyance in her eyes turned into anger.

That brat definitely did it on purpose!
"How can you guarantee you won't go back on your word?" Mrs. Loo asked.

"Even if I help you first, you can still back out. You need to understand that you're the one asking me for help, understand?"

Although Mrs. Loo was furious, she could not refute these words.
