In Liszt’s office.
Tani sat rigidly, her face flushed with embarrassnt, effectively... Oh my god, had she just put on a public performance in front of five people with Liszt?
She couldn’t stand the atmosphere.
As joyous as it had been before, it was now just as awkward; her face seed cartoonishly steaming and red enough to drip blood.
"I... I’m going to leave first."
Tani stord out, unwilling to stay another second.
Liszt was speechless. It was just a public performance, after all. He estimated that there would be a family gathering soon.
There were quite a few Holy Spirit Calendar festivals, aside from New Year’s, including about five or six major festivals like the Light Festival, Four Seasons Festival, and Stargazing Festival.
The Continent Martial Arts Competition happened in September, during the Stargazing Festival at the end of high sumr.
The world had visibly nurous vast celestial bodies, and several nights a year, the world was lit up everywhere, the brilliance of all celestial bodies almost equal to daylight.
What comforted Liszt was that there had finally been progress. Dreya was a woman of her word, anything concerning joint properties was not a problem.
He definitely needed to get Goria and redith’s access cards.
"Dreya is indeed from the Lostra high-level intelligence personnel, her ntal strength is truly formidable."
Dreya, languidly reclining on the chair and yawning, casually flipped through so files in the office.
anwhile, Goria and her group appeared completely satisfied, chatting and laughing with each other, like sunny sisters, only it’s bubble dragon and playful laughter all around.
Celeste’s hair was sowhat disheveled, clothes slightly unkempt, looking a bit embarrassed.
Celeste thought, in serial.
She hadn’t expected the relationship between this couple to be so strange. What exactly was Liszt? A shared husband? Did both have a harem group? Or was everyone their own harem?
It was too chaotic, her CPU felt fried.
She took a long breath, it wasn’t really a big deal, all involving beautiful won, so it wasn’t a loss.
As a high-level agent, she was prepared for this.
"Chuan Che, and so of my subordinates, are still on the island. I have already contacted the upper ranks of Lostra. I can keep Fafna here, and we will also provide you so monthly support funds..."
Celeste cleared her throat and spoke calmly, though she didn’t finish her sentence.
"How much exactly?"
Liszt also beca serious, wanting Celeste to change her clothes. Perhaps the wardrobe was too chaotic, and her damp tight-fit suit was still sticking with so red and pale blue hair.
His throat moved, just thinking about it made his fists clench hard.
"Right now, I don’t know. It will depend on what you do next. You’ve been involved with pirates; you should understand that in any partnership, you need to present an Oath of Loyalty."
Celeste explained as such.
"Oath of Loyalty... How do I present it?"
Liszt, of course, knew it like the back of his hand, now it was about tying interests.
"Since you’ve robbed trains, you should know, epoch-making cheap fuel, replacing Magic Energy, Aran is implenting the Advancent Movent, expanding the railway network throughout the Western Continent, we need you to... create so sabotage."
Celeste conveyed the ssage from the upper ranks.
Dreya’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly; it had been a hard-earned peaceful period, and even though Liszt always said he intended to stay extendedly, even moving into the castle, there were still so many issues to handle.
She had always been concerned about Liszt’s lifespan; being a mortal born selfish, Dreya hoped he would never leave Heaven Port again, at least to live with peace for a few years, given that the ti they could spend together was so short.
Looking at Liszt’s pondering expression, it seed the seductive beauty was about to bamboozle him away once more.
"My husband does have significant influence in the East Sea, but the so-called Advancent Movent is happening inland; we can’t reach there, and I think it’s unnecessary to bring it up again. Fafna will not let go either, and no matter how many people from the Lostra Sect co, it’s no use. You’ve learned of so things you shouldn’t have and now you’re trapped."
Dreya’s tone turned icy after her playful nonchalance.
Celeste was utterly convinced, thinking, ’Your husband just now... was being intimate with another woman, and your wife is playing wild. Don’t you have an opinion about this?’
Liszt hesitated, finding sense in Dreya’s words, but partnering with the Seventh Andnt would an playing both sides of the field, would it not?
"Who said it has to be on the mainland? The East Sea is indeed a vital passage for trade between the Western Continent and the Far East, but the turnover in the Golden Waters and the Narrow Sea is much higher. Railways would certainly reach so port cities. It’s not about completely blocking Aran’s advance, because that’s impossible, It’s about having strategic buffer ti to slow them down, threatening so officials of small countries to oppose the Emperor’s ’Continent Transportation Law.’ It’s as simple as that."
Celeste spoke with utmost sincerity.
"It’s anything but simple..."
With Celeste’s reminder, Liszt realized the gravity of the situation. Black Sail was no longer a small nomadic group; searching the vast seas would lead to no trace, and their ho crystal was still in Heaven Port.
Train robberies remained a common cri; it wasn’t that Aran wouldn’t dare to capture Liszt now. Every matter had to be weighed economically, and after public relations by the Royal Court, the influence of that event had diminished. Considering the cost of arrest against its benefits, the matter was shelved.
But when it truly involved enormous interests, then Aran must strike hard.
Another youth campaign to the East, unable to conquer the Far East Islands, but wouldn’t they manage a bandit claiming to be king? Just a matter of minutes.
"Let think about it, I’ll give you an answer within a month."
Liszt also noticed his wife’s emotions; imdiately leaving again would indeed be inexcusable, besides waiting for the Atomic Heart Church to ship over lathes made for Mo Yutong and Lu Chen to wildly innovate technology, starting with wireless communication to solve the problem of information blockage.
By then, even if the mad woman felt lonely, she could still have telephone broth—no, Morse code broth.
"A month works... I can wait. Also, I must remind you, you won’t be able to keep this up for long. The East Sea has always been no man’s land due to an international tacit agreent. This area can only be chaotic, not ordered; you should do the sa. If your new district planning really succeeds, it could beco a target, as in so sense, this place is the center of the world."
Celeste kindly reminded him because all of Liszt’s strategies were too audacious, Doringger being operated in the form of gangs, while Liszt obviously in the form of a nation.
After speaking, she turned around and left; as an honored guest, Liszt naturally arranged a room for her.
"Tsks," Dreya’s eyes half-closed, "Lonely...I am always here."
Celeste was speechless; this couple was too wicked, yet she was magnanimous, having gone through professional intelligence training, not the kind of woman to be traumatically affected by a few neodymium copper touches; it was just a minor matter.
"I appreciate it, and it would be even better if your husband could join too."
Celeste returned the courtesy and politely closed the door.
Dreya’s gaze was lancholic; it wasn’t that this conversation had hurt her, but Liszt had too much to do, and she could not stop him.
If it really ca to it...
Dreya would just have to go to the Ancient Divine Continent herself to let Liszt bathe in the blessings of the Holy Radiance Tree to extend his life a bit; she had "acquaintances" in Ancient Divine Continent.
Mo Yutong pondered, this seductive woman had not co to join the family, but to tear it apart.
"Are you tempted?"
Dreya stared intently at Liszt.
"What’s this about being tempted... There are just so things one must do, just like everyone eventually must die."
Liszt had tread on thin ice for seven years, also aware that he wouldn’t end well, but had to find that Executioner, the mastermind behind that incident, and... that Mysterious Wizard.
Celeste had just left.
"Soup’s coming, hahaha."
The chaotic trio had already arrived on the battlefield.
