"I'm not going." Meg shook his head. Although he didn't know where Irina got the news from, he still explained, "Andre wants to rope me in and make me stand on his side again. Then, he can start to conquer the Norland Continent without any scruples and build an unprecedented empire."
Meg was a pacifist. Although he was standing on the side of the humans, this was just returning the pain to the few races that had once oppressed the humans.
However, once the war started, there would be no winners. Ordinary people and soldiers at the forefront would all be sacrificed.
Irina nodded slightly as if she had expected Meg's answer. "Helena also wants to talk to me."
This surprised Meg. With Helena's character, she was not someone who would bow down to others easily. He didn't expect her to take the initiative to look for Irina. "Are you going to go?"
"Yes." Irina nodded. "I won't agree to any of her conditions unless she abolishes the family system of the elves and allows the elves to return to their original state. This is also a condition that she will not agree to."
"Then what is there to talk about?"
"I just want to see her flustered and exasperated expression when she can't kill me." Irina smiled.
"I'll go with you?"
"That's not necessary. If you go, she won't dare to come." Irina shook her head.
"What if they set a trap to lure you into it again?"
"After that day when you attracted the lightning to blow up the octopus, I don't think anyone will dare to do anything to me in the short term. Otherwise, Andre wouldn't have lowered himself to meet you in person. Helena knows the current situation of the elves better than anyone else," Irina said with a smile.
Meg nodded. He knew how smart Irina was. She wouldn't put herself in danger easily.
"I only found out today that many young ladies like you." Irina looked at Meg with a smile.
"This is not something I can control. It's just like how those men can't take their eyes off you when they see you." Meg shrugged helplessly. He couldn't be blamed for being too outstanding.
"Are you jealous?"
"No, I'm just showing off."
…
Irina left after finishing her cup of water. The number of elves that had been sent to Chaos City had skyrocketed in the past few days, and there were some things that she had to deal with personally.
Meg followed closely behind. He first went to the smithy next door to check on Hannah and Mobai's progress.
"Boss, come and take a look. Are there any problems with these parts?" Hannah, whose face was covered in soot like a kitten, saw Meg walk in. Her eyes lit up, and she pulled him to the forging table.
After the explosion, she had completely lost confidence in her design. Now, she only wanted to be a salted fish under the guidance of a big boss.
Mobai also stopped swinging his hammer and looked at Meg expectantly.
Meg picked up a few simple parts on the forging table and looked at them carefully for a while. He then measured them with a ruler and nodded. "The craftsmanship is rigorous. There are no problems with the size and material. These parts are qualified."
"That's great. We didn't stay up all night in vain!" Hannah jumped up happily.
Mobai chuckled, and said, "Hehe. Mr. Mak, your design is really good. I can understand it at one glance."
"It's just a casual drawing. You're too kind." Meg cupped his hands politely and accepted this flattery.
After making sure that Mobai could make the parts according to the blueprint, Meg didn't want to continue staying in the hot and stuffy workshop, so he bade farewell and left.
Stir-fried octopus tentacles and octopus balls were very well received. He naturally had to hurry up with his plan to sell the Great Old One with the system.
Firstly, he needed a suitable shop to be the first octopus tentacle stall.
Secondly, he had to open up a chain from the Boundless Sea Realm to Chaos City to harvest, transport, and sell octopus tentacles.
The octopus tentacles provided by the system could be sent directly to the shop, but once the business started, it would naturally attract the attention of others. How to explain the source of the ingredients would become a hidden danger.
In the face of doubt, it was useless to just shout, "I, Alex, did not cheat!"
This was a business that produced 100 tons a day. Even if 500 grams of octopus tentacles were sold for 50 copper coins, the daily turnover would be at least 5,000,000 copper coins.
Selling vegetables is indeed more profitable than cooking … Meg calculated in his heart, and pursed his lips.
…
Moreton Manor, meeting hall.
Geoffrey took a sip of tea as he listened to his wife, Denise, sobbing at the side expressionlessly. Cyril and his family of four stood at the side with the same miserable and sorrowful expression as if they had suffered a huge grievance.
"Master, you don't know this, but Gloria really thinks she's the head of the family after we left Chaos City. She's been bossing us around, and she doesn't even respect me, her grandmother. Tell me … Tell me, how am I supposed to stand for this humiliation?
If even I was treated this way, our poor son, Cyril, and his family were treated even more miserably. Although they had been obedient to Gloria throughout the journey, she had never treated them well. She fed them worse than animals and almost chased them out of the manor …
Tell me … Tell me, she is just an heir now, and she is already so heartless. If she really becomes the head of the family, will there still be a place for us in this family? Master, you have to be the judge for us, "Denise said as she wiped her tears.
"Grandpa, you have to be the judge for us." Herty and Hernie also sobbed. Their eyes were red from the chili, and they did look quite interesting.
Aviva was also wiping her tears at the side, and sobbing from time to time to make her presence felt.
Cyril cast his eyes down and didn't say anything. He was surreptitiously observing the changes in Jeffree's expression out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but be in awe of his mother's acting skills. She was the only one in their family who was able to make such a dramatic story out of thin air.
"Are you done?" Geoffrey, who hadn't said a word, glanced at Denise, who was still wiping her tears, and asked in a cold voice.
Denise faltered slightly upon hearing this. She felt as if her thoughts had been completely seen through by Jeffree, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Her voice also lowered slightly as she said, "Master, I think you should reconsider your previous decision. Cyril was indeed a bad person in the past, but he already knows that he was wrong, and he'll definitely change in the future. He's your son, after all. Only a man can support a family."
"Is Gloria back yet?" Geoffrey said to the door.
"Master, Miss Gloria has just returned to the manor. She should be resting in her villa now," Menard stood at the door and said respectfully.
"Tell her to come here." Geoffrey nodded.
"Yes." Menard turned and left.
"You have said so much. It's time for Gloria to say something. Let's see if what you said is true." Geoffrey looked at everyone's slightly changed expressions, and smiled coldly.
