The Sap Tree Chamber of Commerce was a branch of the Chapman Family.
It was the largest trading center in Nuo Jin. Every day, tens of billions of dollars worth of business were done here. As a business giant led by a family business, the Sap Tree Chamber of Commerce had many legends about rich people.
However, no one would have thought that one of the three chairmen of the Sap Tree Chamber of Commerce, the mixed-blood girl known as the "Witch of Chapman," Cherry Chapman, was … lazing in bed.
"Swish —"
Bella, the head maid of the Chapman Family, who had watched Cherry grow up, suddenly opened the curtains. The cruel light penetrated the window and rushed into the room full of gentleness.
"Miss, please excuse me." Bella folded her hands on her stomach.
Cherry was lying on the bed that was as soft as a cream cake. When the bright light shone into her eyes, she turned around and rolled up the pink quilt, turning into a wriggling caterpillar on the bed.
"Bella, I remember there's no morning meeting today …"
Cherry said impatiently with a cat-like purr in the quilt.
However, Bella didn't joke with her little master this time. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and said, "The Night Village invited you to go home and sweep the grave."
Cherry, who buried her head in the pillow, was silent for a moment. Then she turned her head to Bella. Her silver eyes were sharp, and she didn't look sleepy at all. Remember the website: m.9biquge. com
"The Night Village … Will they still invite me?"
Cherry curled the corners of her mouth. She extended her hand to look at her smooth, dark-colored skin. She revealed a mocking smile and lowered her voice. "I thought that in their eyes, I was just a by-product of a deal. I was just a cheap, disgusting hybrid that should be thrown away."
"Yes, they don't have good intentions."
Bella said worriedly, "Since the fall of the Mother of Spiders, the Night Village has been leaderless for a long time. It should have been like this … But recently, they pushed that 'Daughter of Spiders' Stephanie to the new throne. She is now the new leader of the Dark Elves."
"Although not every Dark Elf obeys her orders, at least she's now the leader of most of the Night Elves again."
"Oh?" Cherry squinted her eyes and giggled. "They still like to be mindless followers."
Bella continued, "It was also Stephanie who invited you this time. She said that the Night Elves had a big deal and wanted to cooperate with the Tree Chamber of Commerce. Her exact words were, 'Rather than doing this business with others, it's better to do it with my little granddaughter.'"
"Huh?" Cherry stood up from the bed. She pointed at her own nose, feeling angry and amused at the same time. "What kind of granddaughter am I?"
"I'm not going." Cherry didn't hesitate at all. "This motley crew can't make a splash."
Bella didn't respond to Cherry's order immediately. She kept silent for a while and then said hesitantly, "I'm afraid she already knew that we would refuse. That's why she said that it's okay if you refuse, but she has something to tell you — 'Because of the collapse of Spider Mother's nest, the ground of the Dark Night Village will have a large-scale filling. It will move …'"
Cherry was bewildered. She seemed to realize something. She opened her eyes wide, looking at Bella with disbelief.
"It will move your mother's grave …"
Bella gritted her teeth and said.
"How dare they!"
Anger rushed to Cherry's head. Her silver eyes seemed to be burning with fire. She stood up abruptly.
"If they dare to touch an inch of my mother's grave, I'll make them pay …"
The gentle silver-haired woman flashed in Cherry's mind. She was the only woman who had ever been gentle to her.
She used to hold Cherry in her arms, gently stroking her wounds caused by her peers who threw stones at her. She told her that she was a girl born with love, not a monster who was spurned by everyone.
Although there was no love in this union, and it was even painful for her, she loved Cherry …
Cherry took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the car."
Bella said, "Yes, to the Dark Night Village?"
"No," Cherry said. "To the bookstore. I want to … say goodbye to Mr. Lin."
—
Lin Jie sat on the counter of the bookstore. It was rare that he wasn't reading a book. He crossed his hands and supported his chin. His face was solemn. His eyes fell on Yue Sefu, who was cleaning the bookstore in front of him.
Yue Sefu had a muscular body. He was wearing a shirt that didn't fit him well, which made him look stronger. Such a muscular man was wearing an apron and holding a broom to carefully clean the books. It was so strange.
Lin Jie wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He swallowed the words he wanted to say and sighed.
It was Yue Sefu who had made Boss Lin like this.
Yesterday, when Lin Jie went to Yue Sefu to buy the tools to repair the wall, he saw Yue Sefu break another wall with one punch.
This incident had shocked Lin Jie's three views.
After the incident, he even ran over to the nearby wall and carefully inspected it. This reinforced concrete wall was impossible for an ordinary person to break, not to mention that the strength was relative. Joseph was able to break the wall with such strength, but it was as if nothing had happened to him.
Naturally, Lin Jie began to think. There seemed to be only one explanation for this situation … Actually, Yue Sefu was a person with superpowers, right?
Or, people couldn't be lumped together. You people from another world could break a wall with one punch when you were extremely angry?
According to his previous research on the documents from the Truth Society and the existence of Candela, it proved that superpowers did exist in this world. However, he always thought that superpowers were something that only the mythical creatures of the Middle Ages had. But now, this idea might be wrong.
Especially when Lin Jie recalled that at the banquet, Ji Zhixu didn't feel surprised when Fred's whole family suddenly killed her … Her attitude was as if she already knew.
However, although Lin Jie was very suspicious at this time, they had been interacting and interacting normally all this time.
If he were to ask a strange question like "Do you usually have this much strength? Do you have superpowers?", no matter how he thought about it, it would be a bit … awkward.
What could he do to make things less awkward?
Lin Jie fell into deep thought.
"Screech —"
A sharp braking sound came from outside the shop, interrupting Lin Jie's thoughts. He turned his body slightly and looked outside the door. A pair of beautiful leather shoes appeared from behind the door of a black luxury car.
"Mr. Lin!"
When the girl's lively voice fell into Lin Jie's ears, he had already sketched the image of the voice's owner in his mind.
The girl in a white dress came out of the car and walked into the bookstore with ease. After glancing at an unfamiliar old man who suddenly appeared in the bookstore, her expression changed slightly.
Judging from his appearance and aura, he was completely different from the Glorious Grand Knight who was rumored to have died. However … the fact that he appeared at this time made people speculate.
Especially, Wilde, who was supposed to cooperate with Cherry, had completely lost contact with them.
But she quickly adjusted herself.
"Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Cherry walked briskly. Her silver hair fluttered in the air. Her skirt floated in the air, drawing beautiful arcs in the air. She revealed a cute smile, showing her two small canine teeth. She jumped up and sat on the high stool in front of the counter, swinging her small feet.
"Why did you come so suddenly? You didn't even inform me in advance."
Lin Jie immediately put on a business-like smile and lowered his head to look at the girl gently. Cherry, who always stuck to him, lowered her head and didn't raise it for a long time. After a while, a pitiful little face and two red circles appeared.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Lin Jie occasionally pinched the girl's soft little face and frowned, asking.
Cherry pursed her lips and pouted, "I got up too early this morning. It's all Bella's fault."
"Oh … It's not a good habit to stay in bed."
Lin Jie smiled, "Seems like you're not here to borrow books today. What do you want to say? "
Cherry lifted her head and saw the owner of the bookstore behind the counter looking down at her. His dark eyes were just like before.
It seemed he was far away from her, just like the first time they met many years ago. He had never changed.
It seemed wrong for mortals to expect God's mercy, right?
Otherwise … Otherwise, how could those people dare to take action …
"I … Today, I'm here to say goodbye to Mr. Lin."
Cherry's smile wasn't like her usual one. It wasn't cute but a strange gentleness and firmness, which didn't fit her child-like appearance.
Lin Jie was surprised. He heard Cherry say, "I've decided to protect someone who's very important to me. Even though she's gone … But there are some things that I have to stick to. For this, I can make sacrifices. But, I might implicate some people."
"Mr. Lin, if it's you, what would you do?"
Cherry lifted her head and asked confusedly.
Lin Jie rubbed her head and said tenderly, "I always think that in this kind of dilemma, you just need to follow your heart."
"When you asked me, you should have the answer in your heart. Moreover … you've come to say goodbye to me."
Lin Jie smiled, "You can go wherever you want. You're completely different from before, right? I think Cherry is so cute. No matter what you do, you'll succeed. Because God doesn't want you to cry … Of course, I don't want you to cry either. "
While comforting Cherry, he wiped the tears on her face.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he had to comfort her at this moment.
Cherry nodded and clenched her fists, "… Yes. Because I met Mr. Lin, I'm different from before."
"Alright, don't worry." Lin Jie joked, "It's a small world. Perhaps we can meet in other places soon."
