Manor A16 had not held a banquet for a long time, but the people who paid attention to this place were already anticipating a banquet that would definitely be held as scheduled.
That was Ji Zhixu, the eldest daughter of the Ji family's twentieth birthday banquet.
No matter how tense the conflict between the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild and Rohr Resources had become, the eldest daughter of the Ji family's birthday banquet could not be canceled.
Just like how even if the nobles were in dire straits, they would sell everything they had behind the scenes to maintain their extravagant facade.
As the controller of Rohr Resources, the Ji family also had to match their dignity.
If Rohr Resources did not even care about their dignity, then it could only mean that they had been forced into a dead end and had no chance of making a comeback.
This was a very embarrassing matter.
Therefore, even if the situation had reached a critical juncture, this birthday banquet still had to be held, and it had to be held better than any other banquet before.
Moreover, everyone now knew that Ji Zhixu had become the leader of a force as a hunter, and was especially interested in this eldest daughter who was most likely to become the successor of Rohr Resources Development Group. She wanted to take this opportunity to show off to the outside world …
Of course, this "show off" was not to show off her talent and ambition.
On the contrary, Ji Bonong's original plan was to let Ji Zhixu appear as rebellious as possible, showing that she did not have any thoughts about Rohr Resources. Instead, she wholeheartedly wanted to plunge into the world of Extraordinaries and run a hunter organization. It would be best if she did not care about this group's industry. One second to remember http://m.9biquge.com
Ji Bonong expressed the conflict between himself and his daughter, and that he could only helplessly place high hopes on another branch of the Ji family, etc …
This was all a show.
In fact, all these years, Ji Bonong had always consciously distanced himself from his daughter in front of outsiders, keeping her away from matters related to Rohr Resources, so that she could develop freely in the field of Extraordinaries.
This way, the higher-ups would be at ease with Rohr Resources …
But it was different now.
If they could gain the favor of the bookstore's owner, then they could skip all the concealment and acting. They could fast-forward to letting Ji Zhixu control Rohr Resources, and then turn it into a real Extraordinary organization.
In fact, with the support of the bookstore, Rolle's resources would have an unparalleled advantage, and a broader future was right in front of him.
Ji Bonong was a businessman. As long as there were enough benefits, he was willing to take risks and gamble everything.
Now, all that was missing was the lever that could move everything.
He turned his hopeful gaze to his daughter, who had never disappointed him.
However, Ji Zhixu shook her head and revealed a helpless expression. "I'm not confident."
She knew what her father was planning.
As long as they could invite Mr. Lin, even if it was just an appearance, it would be enough to prove that the owner of the bookstore was on their side.
This was an attitude.
With this attitude, no matter what Rolle did in the future, those Extraordinaires would have to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of the owner of the bookstore … It was clear that up until now, even gods were no match for Mr. Lin.
However, while the ideal was beautiful, the reality was very difficult.
Ji Zhixu had to break her father's beautiful idea. She reminded him in a low voice, "Up until now, from what we know, Mr. Lin rarely comes out of the bookstore. He only comes out to carry out his' acting 'to the end and carry out some daily activities … No one has ever tried to take the initiative to ask Mr. Lin to leave the bookstore."
"Just because no one has tried doesn't mean that it's impossible, right?"
Ji Bonong stared at Ji Zhixu, stood up, and walked to the side. "Let's give it a try and take a gamble … I'm a mortal without superpowers, but Rolle's Resources made its fortune by developing Lower City District. That place is a treasure trove that even Extraordinaires scramble for. They don't dare to enter the place, but the founders of Rolle's Resources have already touched it with their corpses."
Lower City District was another world that was isolated from the world and kept a secret. Other than the employees of Rolle's Resources who worked in Lower City District, almost no one knew what Lower City District was like now.
To Extraordinaires, it was a forbidden place because the great plague of the Dark Age actually originated from there. The higher the rank of a Extraordinaire, the easier it was for them to be infected by the terrifying plague, so they did not dare to approach it easily.
That was why Rolle's Resources Development Group was controlled by mortals.
However, at the same time, all kinds of ruins and mineral deposits from the old era were in Lower City District. There would still be some Extraordinaires who would take the risk and explore Lower City District.
As Ji Bonong spoke, he imprinted the ring on his finger on a certain spot on the wall.
Kacha …
There was a soft sound of a connection. Cracks suddenly lit up on the wall, forming a complicated magic circle that covered the entire room. The entire room was enveloped in it.
Then, the wall opened, revealing a secret room.
Ji Zhixu's pupils constricted. She retreated slightly in surprise. She had lived here for twenty years, but she never knew that there was a secret room here.
With her current peak Panic Grade strength and Iron Will, she could not see through this magic circle. This meant that the entire magic circle could at least hide it from Annihilation Grade beings.
And Rolle's Resources had been targeted for so many years. It might even be able to hide it from God-level beings …
Unbelievable.
However, what surprised Ji Zhixu even more was the things in the secret room.
Ji Bonong glanced at his daughter and gestured for her to follow him. Then, he walked in and disappeared into the darkness.
Ji Zhixu followed her father into the secret room. Her eyes lit up. It was not the dark and ancient secret room that she had imagined. Instead, it was a place covered in runes. It was neat and clean like a museum.
On the neatly arranged shelves, there were all kinds of mysterious items in hollowed out shrines on the walls.
Ji Zhixu's eyelids twitched. To her, these things made her feel a little scared.
There were even some that made her hallucinate in an instant. It was all thanks to the existence of Iron Will that she was able to stabilize her mind.
She could not help but look at her father, who was just an ordinary person. He looked calm and did not seem to be affected.
Ji Zhixu thought to herself that it should be the work of the ring.
It was impossible for such a large number of Transcendent items to be gathered in a day.
It seemed that the past rulers of Rolle's Resources had planned this a long time ago …
"This is all the relics of the old era that Rolle's Resources obtained during the underground exploration process. The ancestors of the past used this Hermit Ring to hide from the Transcendents and built this room. Everything that was sealed here was waiting for an opportunity."
Ji Bonong opened his arms and turned around. "And now, my daughter, the opportunity has come."
