Ji Zhixu got out of the car and walked to the bookstore.
The chauffeur carried the large box and walked to Ji Zhixu's side. He reached out his white-gloved hand to support the latter, just like a conscientious servant.
Ma Nan watched from afar, and his shocked expression eased a little. He held his chin and could not help but wonder, "I don't think Eldest Miss has seen such a chauffeur or servant. Could it be a newcomer? "
Next to him, Theodore was a little stunned.
The eldest daughter of the Ji family really came to visit the bookstore.
And it did not look like an ordinary visit. She brought enough gifts — the weight of the box was definitely not just money.
Generally, at the level of Rohr Resources Group, money was not that important. Instead, some precious items were often given as gifts.
In other words, Eldest Miss Ji attached great importance to this visit.
Although it was said that this eldest daughter did not participate in Rohr Resources and rarely showed up, she was still Ji Bonong's only daughter.
Even if that ridiculous rumor was not true, this bookstore was probably not simple …
Theodore hesitated for a moment. Should he pick a time to visit after the shop moved? The first website was m.9biquge. com
Since the other party was also a bookseller, perhaps there would be a better way to solve the problem of the book he had accepted …
This thought surfaced in his mind, but he shook his head. For the time being, he would treat it as a last resort.
Those people didn't seem to be simple, and there was an even more unknown power behind them. If he casually dragged others into this, it would go against his principles. He decided to use the name of Rolle's resources to cover it up first. He had paid a considerable price to obtain this shop.
But then again …
Theodore looked at the master and servant opposite him and praised in his heart. As expected of Rohr Resources Group. Even the chauffeur had an extraordinary bearing.
At the entrance of the bookstore.
Ji Zhixu turned her head slightly and saw the middle-aged chauffeur following her around. She could not help but reveal a mischievous smile, almost unable to hold back her laughter.
The chauffeur seemed to be at ease, but in fact, there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes. If one looked closely, they would find that his movements were very stiff and methodical. Although there were no mistakes, he was not proficient and was simply imitating impromptu training.
Sigh.
He sighed in his heart.
It was not shameful to be his daughter's chauffeur and servant.
Back then, when Ji Zhixu was young, he had even been a horse for this insensible little fellow …
That's right, the middle-aged driver in a suit and leather shoes was the person in charge of Luo Er Resources, Mr. Ji Bonong.
This time, when he came to visit the owner of the bookstore, in order to avoid being noticed, he used the Hermit Ring to change his perception from other people's perspective. He disguised himself as an ordinary driver and followed Ji Zhixu out.
Furthermore, he used a prop called the "Mirror Doll" in the collection room to create a stand-in for himself and continued to guard the A16 manor.
The Mirror Doll was just an empty shell with flesh and blood. If it was in the hands of a Magus who was proficient in curses, it would be even more useful.
But at best, Ji Bonong was just an ordinary person who could slightly sense aether. He had once tried to become an Extraordinary, but unfortunately, he did not have the talent.
Even with all his might, he could only move two or three of them slightly.
Hence, he had to use a series of runes that he had collected from the light Magi to split his consciousness and control the doll. The process was extremely complicated and tedious.
Fortunately, this set of operations had been prepared a long time ago, so it was not difficult to execute.
"After so many years of preparation and so much blood, sweat, and tears, there is finally a day when I can use them. This way, everything will be worth it."
Ji Bonong thought to himself. He raised his head and glanced at the bookstore that his daughter had mentioned many times and had seen a picture of.
Although it was old, he did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that behind the blurry display window, in the dim light between the rows of bookshelves, there was a mysterious aura that made him want to explore it.
His daughter was already holding onto the doorknob in front of him. She turned around and signaled to him.
Ji Bonong actually felt nervous for the first time in a long time, and nodded.
* Creak … *
* Ding dong! *
Ji Zhixu slowly pushed open the door, and the bell on the door rang lightly.
"Welcome. Oh, Miss Ji, it's been a long time. What brings you here today? Could it be that you're here to give me a gift? Then I'll say this in advance, I won't accept anything that's too expensive … "
The young man's voice sounded soon after. It sounded gentle and cordial, like the spring wind and rain as he joked with his friends.
Ji Bonong's eyelids twitched, and his heart skipped a beat.
Although he already knew that the owner of the bookstore, Lin Jie, had the ability to be omniscient and omnipotent, he still felt intimidated when facing him personally.
However, he had already mentally prepared himself. It was reasonable for the other party to know that they were here to give him a gift, so he did not feel too strongly about it.
What really made Ji Bonong's heart sink was the last sentence: "I won't accept anything that's too expensive."
The meaning of this sentence was almost equivalent to a rejection!
Ji Zhixu's footsteps paused for a moment, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and smiled, "Boss Lin, it has indeed been a long time. I'm indeed here to give you a gift, but I have a request …"
Ji Bonong had been in charge of Rohr's resources for many years, but he had never felt so gloomy before.
His footsteps were incomparably heavy, but he still raised his head to look in the direction of the voice.
He saw a smiling black-haired young man casually sitting behind the counter. He was playing with a ruby in his hand as he looked at them. His pitch-black eyes were filled with light, and he was cultured, elegant, and scholarly.
That terrifying man who had caused the Hunter Organization to shuffle after a betrayal, who was feared by both the Truth Society and the Mystic Tower, who had single-handedly directed the destruction of the Dome Church and the rise of the Sun God Cult, who had stirred up a storm of blood in the entire Transcendent World.
He had a gentle appearance that did not match his deeds that were full of blood and fire. He was just like an ordinary person, smiling as if he was only happy to see an old friend.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, he directly showed off his power.
"I think I saw the car outside."
Lin Jie straightened up and turned to look at Ji Bonong. He raised his eyebrows and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Is this your personal driver? The life of the rich is so good, it's really enviable … "
"…"
Ji Bonong did not believe that the other party could not see through the disguise of the Hermit Ring.
Therefore, there was only one possibility — the other party was warning him!
The person in charge of Rohr's resources development seemed to be nothing here. The owner of the bookstore was telling him that there was no difference between him standing here and the driver standing here!
