Honestly, after being neglected for so many years, suddenly receiving care did give him a sense of pleasure, though not quite to the point of floating on air, but certainly in a state of bliss.
"Okay! We can talk again when we have time."
Chu Xing replied, and the next moment the communication device he was using was crushed by him!
Damn it, it's all empty promises. Can't he offer something tangible, like money or beautiful women? No wonder this guy's starved for love. With this whole mess, who would want to hang out with him? Hanging out with him is either a recipe for disaster or you'll starve!
Chu Xing sneered, letting the fragments drift away in the wind, no longer paying attention to Figo's matter. He turned his gaze to a distant direction, then suddenly smiled playfully: "Forget it, I'm not that short of money. I'd better go see Anastasia. I haven't seen her for more than half a month. I wonder how this future rich woman is doing now."
Chu Xing's smile gradually turned into a lecherous grin. Anastasia, that little girl, was actually not bad... He glanced back at the inn; the two little girls were a bit tired from being bullied by him and were now fast asleep on the bed! He'd leave them for now, cast a shield around the room, and then leave!
And at that very instant, Rem and Ram's eyes snapped open!
At the same moment, he took in the naked bodies of the sisters next to him!
Rem's eyes sparkled. She shifted her body, then hugged Ram, saying shyly and with mixed feelings, "Sister! Brother is so mean! He bullied us. What am I going to do if I never get married?"
###154. Grandma died###
"Yes, I'm also going to never get married!"
Ram pouted and said, "There's nothing we can do. Since a boy has seen our bodies, we've both been defiled. No one will want us anymore, and we can only marry my brother! It's so pitiful!"
"Pitiful?"
Rem blinked her bright blue eyes, watching her older sister dream about the future, still looking blissfully engrossed, and asked in confusion, "Could it be that you don't want to marry me? That's alright, Rem is fine, let Rem be your wife!"
"this--"
Ram choked, then pinched a certain spot on Rem's body hard, saying, "Impossible! Big sister won't abandon little sister! I won't let you suffer alone, so let's do it together!"
"oops!"
Rem winced in pain and retaliated, saying with a smile, "No need, no need! I'll do it!"
"Wow! Don't you dare try to take my brother away from me!"
Ram stopped playing, puffed out her cheeks, rolled over and pinned Rem down, pinching her all over!
Ah! This is another world-famous painting. It's a pity Chu Xing can't see it, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible for him to have a nosebleed!
...
If the border town of Kararaki was truly dilapidated and shabby, then the Kararaki Merchant Guild in the royal capital was a completely different story!
It's not that it's particularly good, just average, and it looks like a chamber of commerce.
The dilapidated state of the border town made Chu Xing think it was an abandoned house! He also thought that Kararaki was truly worthless and so weak that it could be easily overthrown.
In fact, while Kararaki may not be considered a large merchant guild, it is still a decent one. The incident in the border town was just an accident!
Upon entering the Chamber of Commerce, Chu Xing grinned again.
So, what came into view was a sea of white silk ribbons tied everywhere. Twenty people, presumably employees, were dressed in black with white flowers pinned to their chests, heads bowed, staring at the coffin in front of them, their faces filled with sorrow.
"grandmother…"
Anastasia stood at the very front, tears streaming down her face, but from behind, she remained perfectly still. She couldn't let anyone see her crying; she had to face everything with strength. Grandma hadn't made Kararaki a major, number one merchant guild, so she would!
Recalling the night a few days ago when her grandmother held her hand, Anastasia knew this day would come, and she knew what she would face in the future. But! Even knowing this, it was still a huge challenge for her young age. This was not a small business guild, but a medium-sized one, and it was even about to become a large one. Managing such a business guild would be no small feat!
Especially…
Of the twenty-odd members of the Karalaki management team behind her, how many will side with her and how many will support her?
Anastasia didn't even need to turn around to know that at least half of those gazes were filled with disdain and greed for the merchant guild.
What should we do?
Anastasia felt utterly helpless!
"Clap!"
Suddenly, two clapping sounds rang out. Anastasia instinctively looked up and saw that someone had appeared beside her! This person clapped twice and bowed to her grandmother!
What are you doing here?
Anastasia frowned slightly when she recognized Chu Xing!
To be honest, she really didn't want to see Chu Xing at this time! She already had no liking for Chu Xing, and now that she was in such a bad mood, she simply didn't have time to deal with this annoying guy!
However, she might not have wanted to see Chu Xing last time, but this time Chu Xing is here to help her!
Chu Xing took a step closer, ruffled Anastasia's hair, and said without holding back, "If I didn't come, how would I know you've been through so much lately? If I didn't come, are you sure you could handle those wolves behind us?"
"What do you mean!"
One by one, the management of the Kararachi Chamber of Commerce approached. They weren't deaf; they could watch Chu Xing walk in swaggeringly, but they couldn't let Chu Xing openly speak ill of them!
Although Chu Xing was telling the truth, people nowadays don't like to hear the truth, right?
"Humph!"
Chu Xing glared at them, and a hurricane was unleashed from him, sweeping across the Kararachi management with overwhelming force!
None of these people possessed magic, and they were all blown to the ground on the spot, unable to get up, as if they had been held down by the wind!
The management was terrified, but being businessmen after all, they still retained some rationality. They said in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do! Magic is forbidden in the capital! Aren't you afraid the Knights will raid your house?"
"Pfft!"
A gust of wind slashed past, and the talkative guy's arms were instantly separated from his body!
"Ok?"
The manager was stunned for a moment because the wind blades were so fast and sharp that he didn't feel the pain immediately. He just felt as if his arm was no longer his own! But when he looked down, he screamed "Ah!"
"They raided my house?"
Chu Xing stepped on the man, looking down at him with a bright smile, and said, "Don't think you can't touch her. Even if you have the chance to, as long as I detect that you have such thoughts, everyone related to you will be tortured to the point of madness! Because my little sister is too cute. In order to protect her, even if you haven't made a move yet, if you just have the idea of harming her, I will still kill you!"
"... "
The management remained silent because they thought Chu Xing was a madman, a somewhat abnormal person! Saying a few more words might really cost them their lives!
"Anatasia!"
Chu Xing suddenly called out to the girl behind him.
"what!"
Anastasia quickly responded, but Chu Xing's actions were always so bloody, which interrupted the girl's sad mood, leaving only fear and trembling!
Is it really that scary?
Upon seeing this, Chu Xing's lips twitched, and he inwardly grumbled.
He then took a few steps closer to Anastasia, squatted down to look her in the eye, and said with a gentle smile, "I'll give you a choice! The first is to follow me and live a carefree life without having to worry about money, and the other is that I'll give you money and you can continue running your trading company. But my money isn't something you can just take away casually. If you lose money, you'll have to pay a lot to repay it!"
"The second one!"
Anastasia answered without hesitation, as if she had asked herself this question a thousand times and that coming to an answer now was an instinctive reaction!
And... she probably doesn't have anything she's reluctant to give up, right?
###155. So pitiful###
"All right…"
Chu Xing put a hand to his forehead. Although he knew that this girl had great ambitions and roughly understood her thoughts, he still wanted Anastasia to do nothing but stay by his side and keep him company. Wouldn't it be great if she warmed his bed from time to time?
Anastasia was somewhat surprised that Chu Xing agreed so readily, and asked doubtfully, "You're really willing to support me like this? Without any demands? I don't believe you'd do anything for me unconditionally!"
"Ok?"
Chu Xing asked with a strange look, "Why do I have to make demands when I spend some money on my maid? Hey, little maid, don't forget that you promised me you'd be my maid for life!"
"I--"
Anastasia was taken aback. What did that mean?
Anastasia had no desire to be a maid, but they were already paying her, and that was what they'd said beforehand…
"Don't tell me you're going to back out, okay?"
Chu Xing noticed Anastasia's changing expression and immediately raised an eyebrow, placing one hand on the girl's shoulder, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes!
For Chu Xing, he possesses power at the pinnacle of this world and is also a being who transcends this world. If he is deceived, he will not only be furious but also feel as if a superior being has been bullied by an inferior being!
Although the little girl is quite cute, and Anastasia is at the peak of her beauty, so cute that she can melt the hearts of countless people, Chu Xing also has his own principles. If this little girl is not obedient and even deceives him, then he will definitely not hesitate to take action when the time comes!
After all, there are still many cute girls. If you accidentally kill one, you can just go find a second one, and a third one!
Although Anastasia was young, she was a businesswoman and possessed basic observation skills. She could understand the meaning in Chu Xing's eyes and her heart skipped a beat. The girl quickly said, "I won't go back on my word! I, Anastasia, will never go back on my promise! I can sign a contract with you, and I will be your maid for life! No matter what achievements I make in the future, or how destitute you become, our status will remain unchanged! If I break my vow, I will experience despair!"
Chu Xing smiled coldly and said, "No need. I don't like threatening people with a contract, and I don't need to. There aren't many people in this world that I need to threaten. Just remember our relationship."
I'm giving you nine years. After nine years, no matter what, you must come back to me. Don't try anything clever. While I admire your wit and resourcefulness, that doesn't mean you'll try to scheme against me! Understand?
"I understand, I get it, nine years it is!"
Anastasia bowed slightly, which was considered a sign of submission to Chu Xing!
Although that's probably not what he really thinks... well, Chu Xing doesn't really care what others think. Getting what's on the surface is enough. Being too meticulous might actually be a bit of a problem!
Otherwise, Chu Xing could have easily solved the problem with a hypnosis spell or a puppet technique; there would have been no need for all this trouble!
"That's good!"
Chu Xing smiled and nodded again. Then his gaze returned to the group of Kararachi Merchant Guild executives. He removed the hurricane suppression from them and said in a voice devoid of emotion, "Gentlemen, you should have heard our conversation just now, right? Anastasia is my person. If you do anything bad to her, then you can try to taste the pain of being torn to pieces."
Of course, if you think you can handle me, that's fine with me. But if you have time, please find out who the most powerful person in this country is. It's no longer Theresa!
"understand!"
The management team stood formally and gave a uniform answer!
How could they dare utter a single word of dissent? The previous attack, and the two arms and blood still clinging to the floor, were a stark warning: what would be the consequences?
After doing all that, Chu Xing felt that since he was already there, it wouldn't be right to do nothing, so he took Anastasia out for a walk and to tease this future number one merchant.
...
Time flies, and two and a half years have passed quietly!
