Shakti relaxed his guard: "Since it's a misunderstanding, I'll have my men leave first."

Finn nodded and instructed Chanis: "The Dark Faction seems to have their eyes on the ignition devices you bought. If possible, I hope you will get rid of these things as soon as possible."

Chanis paused, stunned: "Unless you get the guild to refund me three times the deposit. As for what to do with this batch of goods afterward, go talk to the guild."

Finn smiled helplessly, "The guild will never agree to that. In that case, if your clan is attacked, remember to have someone notify us."

These words carried a hint of threat and served as a warning.

"As for Loki..." Finn pinched his brow, to be honest, he also found it difficult to comment on Loki's actions.

"Forget it, Loki, you handle it yourself."

"Hey hey~~ Hey hero, hurry up and get busy."

Loki, holding a jar of divine wine in each hand, shoved it into Raul and Angie's arms, saying, "Take it back, take it back. We can't let my 'dowry' go to waste."

When Loki had transferred all the divine wine, the smile on her face vanished, and she stared at the innocent-looking Chanis.

"Alright. Let's end this farce here." Loki crossed his arms and looked disgusted.

"I just can't connect with you. Ah~ why isn't the leader of the Soma Familia a cute cat-eared loli?"

"If that's the case, there wouldn't be any problem if we were to get married."

"But...you're really not my type, four-eyed guy."

Chanis took a step back: "Four, four-eyed guy."

Of course, he wasn't angry, nor would he be foolish enough to take such a joke seriously.

This marriage certificate served as a lifeline for him, thanks to Charles. At least during this great upheaval, he was protected immediately and suffered minimal losses.

and……

"Tell me, how much are you willing to pay for these remaining divine wines? Speak frankly, for my beloved wine, I won't treat you unfairly," Loki declared.

"1500 million..."

"Then it'll be 1500 million per jar..."

Chanis's hands trembled with excitement, and before he could even agree, a boy ran in through the gate:

"Loki, are you saying you want to break off your engagement with my brother?!"

Chapter 87 Thirty years east of the river, don't deceive... don't deceive?

"Ah, it's you, kid." Loki greeted him with a grin. "Want to play again this time?"

Charles's face hardened, his expression turning serious.

After Belle was knocked away, the two of them finally managed to climb out of the pit near the old city, found Shakti's spear again nearby, helped Belle back to the church, asked Marie to treat her, and entrusted Shakti's spear to Lily.

After Belle had recovered, she donned the "Reversed Spirit Veil" and returned to the battlefield. Unfortunately, Chardo had already left, making it impossible to find Alfia through him.

Just when they were feeling disappointed, they unexpectedly encountered the Loki Familia blocking the distillery.

Out of curiosity and also out of concern for his own possessions, Ciel temporarily separated from Belle, letting him wander around the city while he transformed into a magical cat and entered the hall by blending into the crowd.

Unexpectedly, he caught him in this famous scene of annulment.

"Wow, so cool!" My inner fun-seeker is burning brightly; how could I miss a story like this!

Charles demanded loudly, "Are you really going to break off the engagement with my elder brother in front of everyone, in front of so many people?"

Loki said with amusement, "Of course. We're calling off this engagement today! Even Uranus couldn't stop us, that's what we said."

To be honest, she was more interested in this little guy than that brat Chanis. She only agreed to date him because she found it quite amusing when someone introduced her to him out of nowhere.

Now that brat's out again, looks like he's up to no good again. Loki feels like he's about to go crazy. I really want to know what he's up to! I really want to know!

Loki, hands on his hips, arrogantly declared, "Tell me, what will it take for you to agree to annul the engagement? Money or equipment, I can give you anything!"

Chanis looked completely bewildered. He gently tugged at Charles's sleeve: "No, brother. Why don't we just back out..."

Big brother is happy to!

“How could that be!” Charles’s voice rang out firmly.

He pointed at Loki and said, "I don't care, but the divine wine is the brothers' staple food. How can you explain it to the brothers if it's just given away as dowry without any explanation?"

But she gave 1500 million, 30 jars, which is four and a half small goals!

Chanis was on the verge of tears, and grasped Charles's hand: "No, brother, let me tell you something..."

"Enough talk!" Ciel turned to Loki, his voice filled with righteous indignation. "Do you know? My elder brother is the head of a clan. If he were to agree to your demands today, how would he maintain control over his clan, and how would he stand in Orario?!"

Loki sat down, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly, "I can make sure your clan can't stand in Orario today."

Chanis panicked and whispered in Charles's ear:

"Brother, just say yes."

Charles stepped forward: "Hmph, you want to annul the engagement now, isn't that because you look down on us and think you can't have any more divine wine?"

"And how do you know that Lord Soma won't brew a wine even more delicious than 'Soma Wine'?"

Charles's momentum was in no way diminished. He stepped forward again, pointing at Loki: "For the sake of the Raul brothers, I'll give you a piece of advice: fortunes change, so don't be fooled..."

Charles paused, then turned to Chanis: "Uh... how old are you these days, brother?"

"20!"

That's because they've grown up a little too fast...

Charles turned his head and pointed again: "Don't underestimate... middle-aged people? They're poor!"

Awesome! If he were in the Mind Room, Ciel would definitely lean back and throw punches wildly to vent his frustration.

Although I wasn't the one who broke off the engagement, as the younger brother, I attracted such immense wealth on behalf of the boss. Where can you find such a good younger brother?

Charles raised an eyebrow at Chanis: "How about that? The protagonist's fate is secure now, right? From now on, showing off and slapping faces will lead to the pinnacle of life! Becoming a god-level powerhouse and building a harem will no longer be a dream!"

Chanis's face was filled with despair...

I'm broke my mind! I want to call off the engagement!! Do you even know what calling off an engagement means?!

Chanis roared inwardly, but Ciel was right. Divine wine was the key to controlling the Familia. If Loki took it all away, how could he remain the captain?

If it were to be forcibly taken, that would be one thing, but if you willingly offer yourself up, wouldn't you be torn to pieces by those drunkards afterward?

At this moment, Loki lowered her crossed legs, her bangs obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Hey, you're such a special child. You're the only one in the Soma family, right? And you were the one who took my Ais to challenge a powerful monster before, weren't you?"

it's over...

Chanis covered his head; it was obvious that Loki was bringing up old grievances.

But Charles remained unfazed, looking Loki directly into his eyes: "Yes, is there a problem?"

"Hmm?" Loki raised an eyebrow. He actually admitted it right away?

"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Ciel said frankly, "I don't believe that clients are responsible for the lives of adventurers. If that can be used as an excuse to target them, then the Loki Familia probably won't be able to take on a single client in the future."

"A commission?" Loki was dumbfounded.

Charles was also quite surprised: "Huh? You didn't know? I thought Raul would tell you."

Raul's face turned pale instantly.

No, how could you sell me?

He now felt that he was the only one different from the rest of the clan, a feeling that made him restless.

Loki quickly realized it was that strange request from last time...

"So you're the one researching how to cook monsters? What are you, a follower of Dionysus, doing researching this?"

Ciel shrugged: "Is this a clan secret? I can't just tell you all our recipes every time Lord Loki asks, can I?"

"Hahaha..." Loki suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"You really know how to surprise me. Fine, I won't call off the engagement, but I won't let you marry me in place of your older brother. Otherwise, I'll kill this four-eyed guy for you and make you the leader of the gang, then it won't count as breaking the contract."

Chanis froze, staring at Charles with a wary expression.

Charles's expression turned serious: "He is my dearest friend, my brother!"

Just kidding, you've already divorced your brother, you're no longer his sister-in-law, so let's not contact each other anymore.

Chanis's wariness melted away. He couldn't lie before the gods; this guy truly considered him a brother! His face was filled with emotion.

"Good brother! I will never treat you unfairly!"

Loki wasn't giving up; she genuinely felt Soma would continue producing alcohol and was thinking of getting a few more bottles, or even buying some. But that four-eyed guy was just not her type; he disgusted her.

"Aren't you really going to reconsider?"

Charles tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

He was afraid of asking for more money.

"Alright, then I'll wait thirty years! Let's see if we can take advantage of you being poor in middle age!" Loki said, then skipped away with his hands behind his back.

Only Charles and Ciel remained in the workshop.

"Ugh--"

A heavy sigh sounded behind Charles.

“That’s four hundred million,” Chanis sighed heavily again.

"Brother, don't panic. At least you've preserved your image of not bowing to money in front of Loki. The brothers won't cause trouble for you just because you've lost the Divine Wine," Ciel comforted him.

“You’re right!” Chanis slapped himself. “I didn’t think things through. I was blinded by Fali.”

Xia Er analyzed, "Besides, we're not short of money right now. The Dark Faction failed to take down the Magic Stone Workshop today, and we have the ignition devices inside. With our connection to the God Rudra, they'll send someone to contact us soon."

"Finn was also impressed by the fireworks. As long as the plan goes smoothly, he will come to us."

Chanis thought to himself, "Then how much should we price it?"

"The Dark Faction has recently received a lot of funding from businessmen and is rolling in money. They have no shortage of funds. If they report it as overpaid, no one will care if it's not their own money."
