The subsequent meetings of the Cardinals proceeded as scheduled.
However, His Highness Anle clearly seemed distracted... When the topic shifted to the issue of the Empire's military funding for the coming year, His Highness Anle even abruptly ended the meeting.
The reason is that since there is no conclusion, we shouldn't bring out a draft to argue about it.
Without discussion and debate on the draft, how can a conclusion be reached? You can't just write on the draft that a fountain pen costs 50,000 and a purebred organic cow costs 1 million, and then it's really that much...
Hmm! It seems like it might not be impossible?
On the way out of the Cardinals.
Li Guo suddenly looked at Al-Gaibi and asked, "Is there some kind of event at the Royal Academy these past two days?"
Al-Gaibi flipped through the logbook, adjusted his glasses, and said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs organized a tour, mainly for the high-ranking guests visiting [Marindo]."
Li Guo pondered for a moment and asked, "Isn't there also a meet-and-greet event for that 'Galaxy Fairy' at the Royal Academy?"
“Yes.” Al-Ghabi nodded, then glanced at the logbook. “It was the same day, but the visit was scheduled for the morning, and the meeting was at four in the afternoon.”
Li Guo remained silent for a moment before saying calmly, "Li Wei wants to attend the [Galaxy Fairy] meet-and-greet, and he also wants to visit the Royal Academy. You can arrange it."
Al-Gaibi was slightly startled, and after thinking for a moment, said, "The meeting is fine, but what about the morning's tour... In what capacity would Your Highness like to arrange for Mr. Levi?"
Li Guo rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired. "That day, the Royal Family Association is holding a meeting to formally welcome Raphael back... Otherwise, I would have gone with him."
His Highness is truly obsessed. He even wants to miss such a big event as the Clan Association welcoming Princess Raphael... It seems that Sherman's side needs to speed things up a bit.
“He probably doesn’t like crowds.” Li Guo thought for a moment and said, “Let’s not arrange for him to join the tour group. Let’s find two professors from the academy to be our guides. I’ll go there in person for the meeting this afternoon.”
"Yes……"
"Is there anything else this afternoon?"
Al-Gaibi quickly replied, "The Imperial Research Institute wants to demonstrate several new technologies to you; this was arranged last week."
Li Guo frowned. Al-Gaibi was genuinely afraid that His Highness would utter a single word of "no".
"Okay, let's go to the research institute."
Al-Gabbi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was all right... His Highness hadn't completely lost his mind, at least he hadn't completely abandoned his work.
Li Guo propped his chin up and looked out the window.
It has been more than forty-eight hours since that day, and I haven't seen Li Wei.
“Li Wei…”
……
……
The spaceship quickly landed at the manor.
It wasn't exactly a complete overhaul; the damaged parts were simply repaired. Apart from some valuables, most of the items remained, including the manor's extravagant servant crew.
During my last visit to the banquet, I had a limited opportunity to tour the estate.
Mercedes led Boss Luo on a careful tour, acting as a great guide... To be honest, she still felt quite sorry about the sudden change of ownership of the manor.
Although her family is not lacking in manor.
But this is, after all, the first district of Marindor. Such a vast amount of land is not easy to acquire. Furthermore, the time, manpower, and effort spent building this manor cannot be measured simply by money.
Mercedes loved the manor—it was originally intended as a gift from Lord Babylon to her when she got married.
Before landing at the estate, Boss Luo had already signed his name on the property ownership certificate.
"The Land Bureau has officially changed the ownership of this manor and this land." Mercedes received the news immediately. "Congratulations, Mr. Levi, you are now the official owner here... May I come to visit often in the future? There is a room here that I used to have."
Mr. Luo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be staying here for long. Miss Mercedes, of course you're welcome to come. I'll have someone preserve the room that once belonged to you."
—This is the man Li Guo has liked the most so far…
The obsession in her heart was like a vicious black hole, pulling at her reason.
—To obtain…to destroy.
—Destroy…
Mercedes moved closer, her breath sweet as orchids. "Well... Mr. Levi, would you be interested in visiting my old room? It holds many precious memories for me."
"There might be a chance," Boss Luo said with a smile. "I have too many orders on the business side lately, and I need to go back and handle them."
Mercedes didn't insist... and quickly regained her composure.
—It's not the right time yet…
“Okay.” Mercedes nodded. “I’ll take you back, Mr. Levi.”
But when she returned to the spaceship, she received a new message and immediately looked surprised, "Mr. Li Wei, His Highness [Anle] has...transferred that planet to you?!"
The Land Bureau has members of the [Babylon] faction, and in important positions at that. Such large-scale changes to state-owned assets are bound to attract attention.
The message she received was that Li Guo had transferred the planet for 1 Imperial Coin!
If forcibly demanding this manor was capricious, then transferring a resource-rich star for 1 Imperial Coin was a complete challenge to the interests of the Imperial Noble Group.
How dare she?!
"Your Highness is far too generous." Boss Luo nodded. "I am flattered."
Mercedes looked at Levi Titus again, then suddenly nodded. "She is indeed more generous than ever before... Perhaps, you are truly worthy of her."
Boss Luo said, "Miss Mercedes, are you and His Highness Anle very good friends?"
Mercedes said noncommittally, "I've known her since I was little, but she's a bit older than me, so she probably sees me as a little sister who never grows up."
The spaceship's speed suddenly slowed down, and there was even a slight jolt.
Mercedes frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Miss, it's that Lady Zhaorong's spaceship...it's collided with our flight path."
Upon hearing this, Mercedes composed herself and said in surprise, "It was her... I understand. Let's let their ship pass first, and we'll leave them alone."
Then the spaceship shifted slightly.
Seeing Boss Luo's curiosity, Mercedes explained, "That Lady Zhaorong is currently the Empire's only female prime minister, on par with my father. In addition, she is also the tutor of the current prince, Mao, and is one of the most legendary women in our country. I didn't expect to meet her today... She must have just returned."
"Wasn't this Ms. Zhaorong in Marindo before?" Boss Luo asked casually.
Mercedes said, "She is in charge of supervising imperial officials. This time, she went to the western star system to carry out rectification. However, the date of the coronation ceremony is approaching, so judging from the time, she should be back around this time."
After saying that, Mercedes instructed the screen, "Connect to their spaceship and say I want to give them my greetings."
……
As the empire's only female prime minister, Lady Zhaorong's power has actually declined considerably.
Her peak was during the reign of the Empress.
"Mercyas?" Upon hearing this name, Lady Zhaorong frowned slightly inside the spaceship.
This is her dormitory room, but a young man with an uneasy look is sitting there.
The young man was handsome with long, dark green hair, and he was looking down at the moment.
Lady Zhaorong stared at the young man. "Are you afraid of her? The daughter of [Babilon]?"
"I..." the young man hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
Lady Zhaorong sighed, "Have you forgotten your identity? You are a prince, and also the future emperor of the empire."
"I...I just..."
"You are too weak and cowardly."
Faced with the woman's imposing gaze, the young man subconsciously lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Lady Zhaorong sighed, "How can you, in your current state, possibly govern an empire?"
"Take me away," the young man pleaded, his eyes filled with an apology. "Take me away from here forever. You know, I only want to be with you..."
“I didn’t want to.” [Lady Zhaorong]’s voice was icy. “You shouldn’t have sneaked out today. Do you know what you’re doing?”
"I just really wanted to see you... Teacher."
"This was a mistake, it was a mistake from the very beginning." [Ms. Zhaorong] shook her head.
"No, absolutely not!" The young man mustered his courage, quickly walked over, and hugged the dignified woman tightly. At that moment, all his cowardice seemed to have vanished. "Don't deceive yourself. I've faced my own heart... I didn't run away today. I left on purpose. Take me away!"
Ms. Zhaorong let the young man hug her tightly, but she frowned.
"Mother is acting increasingly strangely lately, and Father is too..." The young man's voice was filled with fear, as if he were talking in his sleep, "No matter where we go, we can live well. [Mythological side], [Fantasy side]... go to a place where we won't be found."
Lady Zhaorong said calmly, "I will not leave."
"You can't bear to give up everything you have now?" the young man questioned.
Lady Zhaorong said expressionlessly, "Without your current identity, what can you do? What are you capable of doing? Do you know how much impact your decision to leave at this time will have on the empire?"
"They'll always find a way!" The young man muttered stubbornly, almost hysterically, "Mother, Li Guo... or Lucia, Atesliu... or even Babylon... they'll always find a way..."
Lady Zhaorong sighed and gently stroked the young man. At this moment, she could only try to calm him down. "Come on, I'll take you back."
The young man nestled in her arms, greedily inhaling the woman's scent.
"obedient."
"Just one day... Today, you belong to me, just this day! I haven't seen you in so long, I'm going crazy!"
[Ms. Zhaorong] Remained silent... which also meant tacit approval.
……
……
"No time?"
Mercedes frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the response.
However, she was wary of the other party's identity and couldn't really make a scene—especially with [Levi Titus] right there beside her.
Regardless of what she might do to Levi Titus in the future, it's best not to reveal her true self to him right now.
Otherwise, the impression created by the two meetings will be lost.
"never mind."
Mercedes shook her head and told the servant to reply that she would visit when she had time.
Outside the window, a massive spaceship slowly passed by... [Ms. Zhaorong]'s spaceship was very special; it was purple and shaped like a gliding bird.
Looking out the window at the passing purple spaceship, Boss Luo's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.
But Mercedes could also detect a look of inquiry and interest in the other person's eyes.
She was very sensitive to this kind of gaze because she would also show that kind of gaze when she encountered her prey.
Is he interested in the empire's only female chancellor?
The two did not talk much for the rest of the journey, from the purple spaceship having already departed until Mercedes's spaceship continued its journey.
Mercedes politely took her leave. "Well then, Mr. Levi, I've brought you back safely... But please don't complain to Li Guo. I can't bear Her Highness's wrath."
Like a sweet girl, Mercedes turned around and smiled, her hands behind her back.
Bai Zhi cursed under her breath... Green!
She thought that when she got back, she would fetch water for her master to wash his eyes.
"Master, are we moving to the manor?" Little Baizhi asked curiously.
That manor is too big and too far away... It's too far to get to the Royal Academy. If I have to travel back and forth for special training, I'll have to sleep much less each day—at least half an hour less!
For working people, even if it's just five minutes of lingering in bed when they get up early, they're unwavering, okay?
"Do you like living there?" Boss Luo asked in return.
"If Master likes it, then I like it too." Bai Zhi spoke the truth, her unwavering resolve wavering in front of her master.
"It's too spacious there," Boss Luo shook his head.
Mr. Luo doesn't have any particular need for a big house or anything like that. The maid also has property in Marindo, so if you need to move in, you can do so on your first day.
After returning to the villa, Boss Luo glanced around casually.
Venus was placed in a guest room on the first floor of the villa, next to Shaq's room—he hadn't come out since being put in the room.
A follower that doesn't belong to the Dark Souls faction might not be so bad?
"Yes, it is indeed too spacious." Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Go check on Reshiram and the others."
"Okay!"
……
……
A vehicle sweeping fallen leaves slowly passed by the artificial river outside the hotel and villa area.
"We have successfully entered the hotel."
The cleaners in the vehicle seemed to be talking to thin air.
"We will begin to formally establish target files and observe their daily travel patterns."
"Risk assessment begins."
"Report complete."
The target is Princess Anle's officially announced boyfriend. Many assassin groups would not take on such a decapitation mission—but not the assassin group to which "The Cleaner" belongs.
【Black God's Blade】!
Once the risk assessment is passed, you can quote a price to the customer.
Suddenly the garbage truck dipped slightly.
The "cleaner's" expression changed slightly for a moment... Who's getting close?
He was startled, almost thinking he had been exposed—the "cleaner" quickly calmed down and cautiously peeked out.
A figure could be seen already far away.
A woman with long black hair, wearing a white shirt and jeans, was occasionally stepping on trees or other objects on the ground for leverage to leap...
He was carrying a flask of wine on his back.
Like you just came back from buying drinks... or went out?
The "cleaner" hesitated for only a second before continuing to drive and sweep the roadside along the river.
……
Behind them, perched on a large tree in the woods, Long Xiruo, carrying a flask of wine, watched the departing garbage truck and muttered to herself, "Didn't you get scared?"
She mostly does whatever she wants.
But I wasn't in a good mood today, so I went out to buy some wine by myself. I recently discovered a wine shop that sells wine that tastes pretty good. They say it's imported from the Mythical Realm and is a special kind of celestial brew.
It's quite expensive.
But Shenzhou Zhenlong, who recently acquired a lot of Boss Luo's gold coins, has... money on hand!
