Chapter 187: They Will Find it Difficult to Understand This
Lin Jie froze for a mont, taking a deep breath. He then smiled casually at Joseph. "Have a seat first. By the way, what was it you wanted to tell ? That custor you are referring to is Ji Zhixiu, right?"
As naturally as he could, Lin Jie first went to the back of the counter and sat down, then gestured for Joseph to do the sa.
Joseph looked all around when he entered, clearly sensing the aetheric activity that hadn't yet fully dissipated.
There had been a battle, albeit on a small scale, but the aetheric fluctuations were very strong...
Probably remnants of the fight between Boss Lin and that assassin.
There was so damage on the walls and signs of a struggle, but there weren't any bodies or blood to be seen.
Joseph couldn't help feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt...
He had assud Boss Lin wanted to get his help disposing the body and assessing the damage, but now it didn't seem that way.
Right, how could soone of Boss Lin's level require our help over sothing as trivial as this. He probably found a random excuse to get to co over.
As for the book cafe next door was run by Mu'en, she should be the one managing it. But Mu'en has just only been sent over by Boss Lin recently and that lass doesn't really open her mouth much.
So Boss Lin is helping her like this.
It's as if he's earnestly thinking on behalf of his disciple!
In a sense, Joseph felt that he was equally as attentive when he issued tasks to Claude.
Even though Claude viewed him like so black-hearted capitalist out to squeeze every drop out of his employees, Joseph behaved this way in order to train his abilities.
Joseph felt like he was using his usually calculative mind normally used to defraud more expenses to evaluate Boss Lin.
Lin Jie went straight to the counter after coming in, without ntioning the issue of removing a corpse which was supposed to be the agenda.
Instead, he could only get Joseph to talk about the custor rather than letting him know about his own lapse of judgnt.
At this mont, Uncle Joseph, ridden with guilt over this misunderstanding, didn't know that Boss Lin was actually sweating buckets.
Damn it... how did an entire body just disappear after I stepped out for a bit.
Has soone taken the short opportunity to move the body, or did Michael not really die and was just tricking to wait for the chance to slip away?
Lin Jie was more inclined towards the latter.
From Michael's tone, it seed like there wasn't much cohesiveness among mbers of that organization. They didn't really care about the other mbers and even seed to gloat about the misfortune of the others.
Furthermore, it seed unlikely that an organization without any solidarity would risk others just to retrieve the bones of a dead mber.
Young Mike isn't as simple as he seems after all. Looks like I underestimated him and he even managed to pull a fast one over just when I thought he was on the verge of death,thought Lin Jie to himself as he vaguely made so guesses with regards to this organization.
Could this organization's research on 'The Path of the Flaming Sword' have co to fruition? Or perhaps they may be so of the few people of Azir that have discovered the truth of history and want to recreate those mythical tis and get close to those 'gods'?
Right, that strange human skin book was also created by them. This could an that they possess so certain special powers.
Hmm... but from what I experienced just now, Michael wasn't a match for which shows that their strength is still at a shallow level. For instance, the human skin book's ability to convey information is actually not much different from Blackie's ability to use water to create words.
Lin Jie couldn't help glancing at the countertop, where Blackie had once communicated with him.
But they went through such trouble, even peeling people's skin to make such a book just for a simple function like conveying information.
Moreover, if their codenas were indeed according to the ten archangels, then Young Mike, who had the codena Michael, ought to be ranked highly among the ten. The others would roughly be of a similar level, so he was not likely to be in much danger.
All in all, Joseph and Vincent will probably find it difficult understanding this strange situation. Haa... There's no other choice, I have to try solving it myself!
Lin Jie felt that since he was the one who discovered the problem of Holy Moon Essence and had gotten Vincent to test the Church of the Do, he ought to be the one taking responsibility for these series of consequences.
Moreover, only magic could defeat magic!
According to Silver, Lin Jie would be able to protect himself completely once he could construct a complete dream realm. And if he could use a basic dream realm as a fra to expand the dream soil to cover reality, he would have truly 'mastered' it.
Ever since that strange dream creature broke into his dream realm and combusted, Lin Jie realized his dream realm had inexplicably solidified considerably.
He was building the fra of his dream at a rapid pace and would be able to try the next step shortly.
So this ti, the Church of the Do would beco his testing ground!
While Lin Jie was sowhat distracted by his thoughts, Joseph had already finished feeling guilt-stricken. He was firstly in awe of Boss Lin's foresight, for that custor was indeed Ji Zhixiu.
"Rolle Resource Developnt reported that the Ash Chamber of Comrce are engaging in so illegal transactions and have already reported the situation to us, submitted witnesses and issued a notice saying that they will be restricting 50% of their subsidiaries supply of goods to the Ash Chamber of Comrce and will be sold to the Slter's Comrcial Association.
"They must have been influenced by Congreve's shady business dealings, mistaking it for an Ash Chamber of Comrce conspiracy," said Joseph in his customary official tone.
The trigger for this had been Congreve's creation of a secret trading platform, which allowed so greedy white magicians to sell the thods of removing their own 'Loyalty' brands. It just so happened that one of them was a white magician in the employ of the Ji family and a subordinate of Ji Zhixiu.
Even more unfortunate was Ji Zhixiu experiencing a betrayal previously, which added to her abhorrence for this kind of thing.
Although this incident wouldn't escalate to a total falling out, Rolle Resource Developnt had still given a very stern warning to the Ash Chamber of Comrce this ti.
"The situation with the Church of the Do is still uncertain, and not everything can be revealed yet. It will be so ti before the truth can be told to Rolle Resource Developnt, but in this anti, the Ash Chamber of Comrce would be badly hurt.”
Joseph eyed Boss Lin and went on, "I assud that handling it as usual will do, as we don't usually interfere in business matters. However, now that branch head Cherry Chapman is also a custor of yours, I thought I'd ask for your advice."
Does this an that young Miss Ji and Cherry will be 'fighting' soon?
Lin Jie placed his chin on his crossed hands as he imagined the inexplicable scene of Cherry and Ji Zhixiu going at each other with their fists.
